Baker brothers. 1t has since deveI-
oped that the Murdock brothers are
the last team in the upper half. This
lessons the chances of some of the
teams in this half, but will make the
matches better not only in the finals,
but in the preliminary rounds. With
the Murdock brothers and Carl Gard
ner and Clarence Griffin in the upper
half and the Baker brothers and Mac
Gavin and Variel in the lower the
finals will be much more interesting.
The correct drawing is as follows:

Buy a Smoking Mountain.

what is perhaps Dame Natures big
gest laboratory has been purchased by
a syndicate of Americans. It is To-
Gated in the crater of the historic
smoking mountain Of Mexico, the Po-
pocatapetl of the Aztecs. The trans
action, whether regarded as a real es-
tate transfer or an industrial deal, is
interesting by reason of its novelty.
Popocatapetl has been on the whole
rather a beneticient volcano than 9TH
erwise. Instead Of poring out floods
OF lava and ashes like Vesuvius it has
furnished for century or so a prac-
tically inexhausitable supply Of sui
phur. The world has long been aware
Of this fact and the sulphur mine has
been worked by native labor, though
ON necessarily small scale, since
heretofore ithas been well-nigh inacces-
sible. The mountain is over 1900
feet high and for 1900 feet is covered
with dense growth of forest. The
crater itself is three miles in circum-
ference and 1000 feet deep.
These natural obstacles in the way
of extracting and marketing the vast
sulphur deposits in the crater are to be
overcome by constructing a railway
from the village at the base to the
summit. The mountain was pur.
chased some years ago by syndicate
Of wealthy Mexicans, who, however,
failed to develop it and have now sold
out to the American capitalists. The
undertaking will be large one, but by
applying modern methods the output
of sulphur can be made enormous,
while the timber which clothes the
mountain sides has large commercial
value. Certainly it will establish a
new and unique industry in Mexico,
though thousands of old Aztecs will
doubtless turn in their graves upon
realizing such a proclamation.

sweethearts twenty years before.
So he made his way to Margaret
Radford who bided near the church,
and finding the announcement that
apartments were to let, engaged
bedroom, and there was no grumbling
about her terms, for the Australian
had generosity all over him!
Then Herbert Seaton made his way
up the steep path he had been told led
to the "schulehouse."
In his day he remembered the local
cobbler kept school and turned out per
haps poor scholars, but good fisher
men, and he emphasized his remarks
with strap. Seaton felt it now. Be
tween hedges twenty feet high, up the
steep red path he made his way, and
at the end stood the schoolhouse, fac
ing the sea. He stood outside for
some minutes brushing perspiration
from his forehead.
1t was tiny climb, after all is said
and done, but he painted painfully and
drank In the air from the sea.
Then he peered between the serried
ranks Of fuchsia and myrtle that stood
on the broad window sill, and he saw
beautiful woman, Of nearly his own
age, who had blue, gentle eyes, and n
gentle face, and an aureole Of fair
hair, that in beams Of sunlight looked
to him like halo.
Small man and woman kind were
round her knees, from tiny tots to
girls of 10, and she was talking and
teaching as only an angel upon earth
or a good woman, which Is the same
thing-can talk and teach from the
book Of books that lay upon her lap.
And the Australian wanted to 20 In.

A Queer Marriage Ceremony.

Among the Kherrias of India the
marriage ceremony is very funny.
Taking small portion of the hair of
the bride and groom in turn from the
center of the forehead, the priest
draws 1t down on to the bridge of the
nose. Then, pouring oil on the head.
he watches it carefully as it trickles
down the portion of hair. If the oil
runs straight on to the tip of their
nose their future will be fortunate,
but If it spreads over the forehead or
trickles off on either side of the nose,
bad luck is sure to follow. Their for
tunes told, generally to their own sat
1sfaction, the essential and irrevocable
part of the ceremony takes place.
Standing up side by side, but with
faces strictly averted, the bride and
groom mark each others forehead
with with "sindur" (vermillion).

gal son, and the narration seemed to
move the sweet saint, and the chill
dren, who had heard it hundreds of
times before, always found some fresh
questions to ask.
Sweet" was the informal address
Of one dark-eyed boy, who seemed a
favorite, what would you do if your
son came back to you like this prodigy
son who ate husks"
Sweet never had a son. Sweet has
never been married." came from an
elder girl.
And the heart of the man bounded
within him.
Il should welcome my prodigal
dearly, of course" And the sweet
mouth had grown wistful, but her
eyes seemed as if they had visions of
something far away.
Would you kiss him, l wonder?"
Schoolma'am blushed and laughed
like a young girl.
"Yes, 1 think l should kiss him.
she said gently.
well, let's pretend I'm the prodigy
and you be the man who owned the
fatted calves"
Seaton chuckled to himself, feeling
boy again.
Then he went for a walk, returning
an hour later, to find school dismissed.
Margaret Radford felt strangely
lonely when her little flock had run
off shouting down the hill, and the sad
little look came into her face.
And then shadow fell across the
floor, and she looked up. For a mo-
ment she did not speak, her eyes
grew round and her breath came and
went in deep gasps between her part
ed lips.
'The prodigal son has returned,
Margaret. Lord knows 1 have eaten
husks enough down under!'
You are thousand, thousand times
welcome, Herbert Seaton!" And she
began to sob.
He had not yet even touched her
hand, but had drawn nearer.
What did you tell little Bob Carev
you would do when the prodigal re-
turnedY
He spoke in tone of banter to hide
the deep feeling that moved him, but
he held out his arms, and his love flew
into them, and he rained kisses upon
lip, cheek and brow.
My love-my lover was all he
could stammer out, after a silence of
twenty years.
And she, too, lay silent in his strong
arms, thinking many thoughts, that
shaped themselves into a prayer of
thankfulness.
why did you ever leave me, dear
oneT she asked.
Your father told me that you were
engaged to Haygarth, and he was
richer than 1. He even showed me
the house you were to live in when
you married."

bert, my lost love? How could you

Its Revivification Gratifying to the

The Casino was reopened last night. The opening must have been very grat- flying to the new management. Messrs. Thode & Meyer. The place was filled so that there was hardly standing room from early in the evening until early in the morning. Last night was real ly the first start that is, the first good start the Casino ever had.
 The future of it seems to be assured. The gentlemen at the head of it have acqui~ed the habit Of making a success Of things they undertake and they have gone bout this in d way that will almost certainly breed success.

 A QUILTING BEE-The ladies oi the Christian church enjoyed a rare pastime one day last week. and the time was spent so pleasantly that they propose tC repeat it as often as OCca- sion offers. Some one had some com forts to tack. and the ladies took the contract. They appointed q day, and at the appointed time assembled in force, and transformed the Sunday school room into a quilting shop. Each brought a pCrticn of a dinner, and at noon they sat down to a feast that would have tempted the appetite of the most cranky epicurean. This Is the opinion of one of the good brothers who just accidentally CD happened along at dinner time. At least he says it was an accident-but a very fortu- 0afa one If daynl-us that rb4 r,lerCr and two CT three of the brethren suf- fered similar accidents simultaneously on that day. which would seem to be strange coincidence. They are hop ing that the ladies will receive many orders for comforts in the near future, and will keep a sharp lookout for the movement of quilting frames toward the church.
