HIGHS ARE
CHAMPIONS
Beat Y. W. :. A. Basket
baIIers by Score
of 40.

In the final game OF basketball to
decide the 1905 championship. the High
School girls walked off the field with
colors flying. They gave the Y. Ws.
a terrible drubbing TO the tune of 26
to 6. This is the first time that the
Highs have won the honor so they are
happy to the extreme.
There was huge crowd on hand to
watch this final contest and those
present were not all backward in root
ing for their favorites. 1t reminded
one of a varsity football game.
The Y. Ws. were completely out
classed and lost to a team that was
better drilled and superior in that one
great factor of athletic contests-team
work. Yesterday the H. S. worked like
one person. Every girl was in her
proper place when required. They toss
ed and passed that pigskin like old
timers At times they played so fast
that the Y. Ws. were content to look
on.
1t was thought that the game would
be a holly contested one. Few people
dared to pick a winner, in fact, every
one thought that the Y. Ws. would
play much sitter game and it SEEM
ed to those who have watched their
work throughout the season that they
had an off day yesterday. They GER
tainly have played better ball The
rush with which the H. s. opened off
probably took them completely by sur
prise and they were always at their
mercy. At the end of the first half
the Highs had the game we'll in hand
by a lead of Is to 2.
At the beginning Of the second half
the Y. WIS. came on the field deter
mined to overcome the lead but their
efforts We're of no avail They deserve
praise for the way in which they strug-
gled in face of odds.
This season has been a complete sue
cess for the game. They have drawn
better than in previous years and the
teams have all worked harder The
championship has remained in doubt
to the very last game and in all the
five teams have done exceedingly we'll
in their play.
Following is the lineup:
High School-Smith, NJ. Crews, for
wards; Robertson, E. Smith, centers
Akau Stone,- guards.
Y. w. c. A.-Schaefer, c. Crews. for
wards: Holder, Makee, centers; Will
liams, Dowsett, guards.

night that the Japanese torpedoed her,
she had but one days ammunition, the
remainder having been taken off for
safety. that is, if anything happened
to the vessel. her ammunition would
be ashore where it could be used by

Captain Van Essen and Captain SAKE
told an interesting story of the loss
of the battleship Petropavlosk, when
Admiral Makaroff lost his life. Cap
tain van Essen was within two miles
of the battleship when she sank.
Scarcely two minutes elapsed after she
struck a mine before she went down.
Both officers stated that the Russian
warships at Port Arthur lacked am
munition. These officers with their
ships went out with the Czarevftch and
other ships when the fleet attempted
to escape, but their vessels were forced
to return to Port Arthur because of
the terrific batteTing they received
from the japanese guns. Then the ves-
sells were repaired but they did not
venture out again. The large guns had
no ammunition and therefore the COM
manders felt it would be useless to go
out to fight
Both officers declared the reports
that many steamers had run the block
ade and entered Port Arthur with pro-
visions and medical stores, were false.
Only one vessel, the King Arthur, man

READY FOR
LEGISLATURE
Officials at the Capital
Are Getting Things
in Trim.

The Capitol building has been trans
formed into a place for the meeting
of the Legislature. That is, the Sec
retary's room has been made over for
the use of the Senate, and the Throne
room is being put in order for the as
sembIiug of the house on Wednesday
morning. In the Senate Chamber, the
fourteen desks and the President s
chair are arranged precisely as they
We're two years ago, and the clerks and
stenographers have their old places
The President of the Senate will have
the Secretary's little porch room in the
corner for retiring room, and it will
be used likewise as a committee room.
The clerks and stenographers will be
cooped up, even as they were two years
ago.
The arrangement of the old throne
room will also be in all essential re-
spects as it was before. The heads of
most of the executive departments
We're at work on Sunday, putting the
finishing touches on their reports TO
the legislature, and the Governors
message has been to all practical in
tents and purposes completed. 1t will
be transmitted to the two houses az
soon as the Governor is notified, Off
cially, that they are in session and
ready to receive. 1t is a longer docu
ment, it is said, than any Governor
has heretofore sent in, and covers
about all the subject matters of public
interest that have come up for the
Governors consideration in the past
two years-and many that are expect
ed to come up within the next two.
A second executive document will be
the Governors financial estimates of
the needs of the several departments
of the government. This will be a par
ticular interest because if there is any
county legislation, then there must of
necessity be a revision of the estimates
and a division of the available money
between the Territorial government
and the proposed counties. 1t is at
this point that the work of the Ac-
counts Commission will come before
the Legislature. But little has been
heard of the Accounts Commission
lately, but it is understood that the
Commissioners have been hard at
work, and that its estimates will be
ready for consideration when the legis-
lature is ready to take the matter up.

lates his experience thus: I have been
hack driver for a number of years
past and this is an occupation in
which, through exposure to weather
and much jumping up and down from
the vehicle. one Is particularly liable to
kidney complaint. I suffered myself
from a lame back for a long while, and
in my anxiety to get rid of it tried
several things which did not reach the
root of my trouble. An advertisement
acquainted me with what grand work
Doan's Backache Kidney Pills were
doing, and I got some of them at the
Hollister Drug Co.'S store. I used them
and with very much profit, for they re-
lieved my back wonderfully

THE WISE TREASURER.

How He Showed the King that Anyone
Could Cheat Him.
There was once a king who was
very vain Of his sagacity. Nobody
can cheat me-" he used to say.
His old and wise treasurer knew
better.
Your officers are cheating you"
he would reply.
NONSENSE said the king. II am
too clever for them"
He said this so often that at last
the old treasurer determined to teach
his royal master lesson, and spoke
thus to the king:
Your majesty, will prove to you
that no one is too clever to be cheat
ed. Give me even the humblest Office
and will show you that the man who
holds it can cheat both you and your
people"
The king thought for a moment.
Then he laughed and said: II will
make you the shepherd Of my flock
Of sheep. would like to see you
cheat me, for know that there are
just 400 Of them, and I shall expect
you to give me an account Of the
flock to the last one"
The old treasurer smiled and with.
drew. The next day he wrote to ev-
cry city, village and estate in the king
dom saying that he had heard there
was good pasturage there and that
he proposed to bring the kings sheep
to browse there, which was the royal
right
Immediately the people of each
place wrote to the new shepherd and
promised him money If he would take
the kings sheep somewhere else so
that they could keep the pastures for
themselves.
The wise old treasurer took all the
letters to the king and said: you can
see now that even your shepherd can
cheat you and your people If he WILL"
So the king was never 90 vain of
his sagacity any more.-Boston Globe.

JACK OF ALL TRADES.
That Il What Most Women Who work
for Z Living Really Are.


That Il What Most womsn Who work
for Living Really Are.
Why the woman who works for q
living Ia usually more nervous and In
less exuberaN health generally than
the man who works, has been mat
ter for much discussion in clubs and
newspapers, and without any satisfac-
tory verdict having been reached. but
there are those who do not find 1t hard
to understand the phenomenon.
The man who works usually does
one sort of work. He Ii physician,
a lawyer or a clerk. and when he has
closed his Office door for the day, If he
is sensible man, he puts in the re-
mainder of the time enjoying himself
In whatever way best suits him.
And the woman who works-well,
she is usually jack OF dozen trades
and master Of none, according to the
Baltimore News.
When she comes home from her
office it occurs to her that there are
half dozen pairs of stockings to be
darned-and she sets to work forth
with on this nerve-tearing work. When
the stockings are finished she is just
as likely as not to sew on the lace that
the laundress has ripped of skirt,
and she goes to bed with her head ach-
ing and absolutely unrefreshed.
In the morning she remembers that
there are dozen little lace collars
to be laundered, for they were much
too fragile to 60 in the general laundry,
and that afternoon she gives over to
the doing up" of these troublesome
little things, adding couple of white
belts, three pairs of white gloves and
veil to the pile.
When she has finished with these
her back Is aching, and she Is glad to
lie down and read by the light of a
distant and dim gas jet the afternoon
newspaper, thereby bringing on the ills
that come from eye strain.
She discovers the next afternoon that
her hair needs washing, and she spends
a good two hours at this hard work.
She doesn't feel that she can afford
! Sn0 ~ CSALO VI % tAdI q AoA AC0SCA
would charge her for this service, and
which the latter can do much better
than she can do it herself, and SO she
expends strength that is worth much
more to her than the money, in halt
doing this work.
She manicures her own nails when
she should be taking a nap, and makes
shirt waists when she should be exer
cising in the open. She makes cara
mels by way Of fun, and fuses over
them until she herself admits that she
Is half dead"
She finds things for herself to do
that really couldn't be done, and by the
end of the summer she Is q limp and
Inerve-racked rag.
But have to keep NICE" she walls,
"and cannot afford to hire some one
to do my mending and to groom my
hair and nails!"
It is, indeed, a problem how the
business women shall manage; but,
nevertheless, these are some of the
reasons why she who works for
living is usually a thin and anaemic
person, who looks haggard and old
before her time.

When I Grow Up.

When Grow Up
Our grocer's clerk comes every day,
Though why he should cannot say,
For mother mostly orders beans,
And soap and mustard, salt and green's,
And tea and starch, and lard and rice
Not much of any thing that's nice.
Such food for some folks may seem best,
But scarce excites my interest.
When grow up, my grocer's clerk
Will very seldom need to work;
The butchers boy I'll ask to call
Just once in spring and once in fall.
I'll have the candy boy call twice
Each day, and sometimes even thrice!.
Mornings it will be best, Judge,
To order caramels and fudge;
At night, box Of chocolate creams,
To make me sure of pleasant dreams!
mean to have the toy-shop man
Stop lust as often as he can.
New toys grow tiresome soon, you know;
And then, ones friends do break them
so!
Heieh-ho! what bliss will fill my cup
When grow up! When I grow up!
