How indians Play Ball

indian ball is a peculiar, fas-
cinating and bloody game. II is
as much the national game as base
ball is our national game. 1t is
played OH ground almost like a
gridiron. There are two goals $50
yards apart and the object is to pass
the ball between these two goals.
The ball is like a base ball, the In
dians making them themselveswith
yarn covered with deerskin. A
stick about two feet long with a
spoon shape at the end backed by
thong laces is used, and in this
spoon the Indian must catch the
ball. He is not allowed to touch it
with his hands. He catches and
throws with his club. The game
is a skirmish all the time and there
arc twenty players on a side. An
Indian catches the ball on his stick

mentioned for Governor

Trenton, N. J., March 29.-In the
state house corridors democrats asked
each other: How would Cleveland
do for a democratic candidate for gov
ernor of New Jersey?"
1t was said tina Cleveland would not
refuse the chance Of being governor
Of his adopted state before rounding
out his career In politics. Also 1t was
declared hat he would refuse to allow
his name to go before the democratic
national convention. but would not
refuse the state nomination.
No one was ready to give the source
of these stories and 1t was impossible
to learn their author.
The presence of James Smith, for
mer United States senator. here was
said to be the cause for the rumor,
and he Is credited with circulating the
story to note the effect it would have
on the old-time boomers.
Certain it Is that the rumor was re-
ceived with enthusiasm among demo-
Gratis.

Pooling the Colonel.

| doubt If the FRANKS of the present
day subaltern are as pluckish as those
of his predecessors. l car remember
a story that went the rounds some
years ago Of a daring Junior Of the
G~renadier guards who chaffed his colo
mel in a fashion that would not be
tolerated today. But the colonel was
not disposed to deal leniently with
him. He kept unusually late. er rather
early. hours. so one day an early pa
rade was ordered Unexpectedly, and
FIVE minutes before the hour the colo
mel rode past the culprit's quarters.
Cheerfully unconscious of impending
doom. the latter leaned out OF his bed
room window in the airy garments OF
sleep to say good morning. The colo
mel chuckled and rode on. but to his
surprise at the stroke of time the sub
altern stepped out on parade fully
dressed and all in order. He knew Of
the trap and had donned the looser
garment over his uniform to take a
rise out Of his superior.-London Tat

Lincoln County Shooting

News reached De Lamar last Tues
day of a shooting committed at Lower
Cane Springs, on the line of The IAN
Pedro road. Later advices establish
the facts as follows: A man named
Frank Shepard, said to be a bad man,
quarreled with Pete Guisti at a sa-
loon owned by the latter, and when
Guisti's partner, Orlando Bordetti, APP
peared on the scene, Guisti was lying
on the ground, while Shepard was
pounding him over the head with a
six-shooter. Bordetti fired, the bullet
entering near the eye, and ranged
downwar through the skull.
Fearing hat he would be lynched,
Bordetti fed and made his way to
Moapa, where he gave himself up to
the justice of the peace. There is lit
tie hope of Shepard's recovery. Both
Guisti and Bordetti are residents of
De Lamar. Shepard came from Colo
RADIO and is said to have a wife and
child in Colorado Springs.-De Lamar

Development of the Negro

New York, March 29.-I have the

ker T. Washington, IN addressing a
meeting here of the society for Eth

further hat the colored man should
be encouraged to remain in the south,
saying:
Because of the negro's progress in

of being a negro.

of protection that n race of people

ORANGE BLOSSOMS.
Their Use at Weddings the Survival
of an Ancient Custom.


Authorities speak of the use of or
ange blossoms at weddings as due to
the fact that the orange tree, bearing
Its ripe golden fruit and fragrant iow-
ers ut the same time, Is a symbol of
fruitfulness, and this, we may take It,
is the main reason of the pleasing GUS
tom.
In Crete the bride and bridegroom
are sprinkled with orange flower wa
ter, and In Sardinia oranges are at
tached to the horns of the oxen which
draw the nuptial carriage. DR.. Brewer
says that Saraeen brides carried or
ange blossoms at weddings and sug-
gests that our modern custom Is a sur.
yival or revival Of theirs.
The custom appears to have been In
troduced from France into England
about 1S2O-3O. According to Littre,
"Women at their marriage wear q
crown of orange buds and blossoms;
hence the orange blossom Is taken as a
symbol of marriage"
In VANITY Fair" T~hackeray speaks
Of orange blossoms as touching en-
blems of female purity imported by us
from France" This happy thought,
however, is merely a fancy of his. for
orange blossoms, according to French
scholars and writer's, simply Indicate
that 'mademoiselle" has attained the
status Of madame"

Infantile Development.

1t Is wonderful enough that infants
of a few weeks or months should make
unmistakable manifestations of the
simpler emotions of fear. affection and
anger, but that an emotion SO complex
as jealousy should appear SO early as
at the age of ten months is especially
remarkable and indicates a degree OF
development at this age which in the
absence of observation might justly be
deemed incredible. Darwin observed
jealousy in an infant of fifteen and
one-half months, but adds, 1T would
probably be exhibited by infants at an
earlier age If they were tried in a fit
ting manner"
