OF the fate Of these prisoners is learned
from a few remarks In the records.
MOST OF them are discharged or ex.

note that such a prisoner died from

ana still another was shot while trying
TO make his escape by cutting a hole

record of the discharge of a prisoner
because of his being Of other national

OF battles, but are merely dry records
Of the prisoners taken and their final
disposition. Such good names as Mad.
lson, Buchanan, Andrews, Stone, Har-
rison, Williams, Lee, Morris and Rams

Whether these records have been
carelessly sold by the British govern

some other means Mr.. HARDWOOD has no
way Of knowing. but he has no doubt
that they are the original records Of

Baseball ON sISates,

A new game for the boys this win
ter will be ice baseball. 1t is played
Just like regular baseball except that
the players are on skates, and a few
trifing changes are made to adapt it
to the slippery surface. In place Of
nine men on side there are ten, the
tenth man being backstop for the
catcher, this being made necessary be-
cause it is not practical to have a
backstop Of boards or wire built on
the ice. The backstop will have plenty
to do, because it is not possible for a
pitcher on skates to throw as perfect
ball as one standing with spiked
shoes in a pitchers box. The backstop
has the same powers as the catcher
in throwing to bases, catching fouls
and putting out men at the plate, and
takes his regular turn in the batting
order The ball used Is large one of
hollow rubber, and the bats are small
er than for baseball. Bats made Of
broomsticks are about the right size.
The regular baseball would be found

twenty switches are on one route 1t
means fifteen or twenty minutes lost,
which is a considerable item. In the
illustration shown here will be found
an apparatus for turning railway
switches, the invention Of a Philadel-
phian. The switch Is automatically
thrown open to direct the car over
either Of the two branching tracks
and is under the control of the motor
man on the front platform. In con-
nect1on with the switch Is a movable
tongue with lateral extensions, which
project above the roadway and by
which the tongue is shifted. On the
forward end Of the car, Immediately
in front Of the car wheels, are two
small wheels, with beveled edges,
which are adapted to be thrust down
into position to act upon the lateral
extensions Of the track. One Of these
wheels opens the way to the main
track, while the other opens the
branch track. This apparatus could
be attached to any trolley car, and,
being operated by compressed air, the
same as the brakes, it would obviate
the necessity of the motorman turning
the switch by hand or Of employing a
switchman for this purpose.

CLEAR THE ROAD |

In boyhood days we used to go,
When winter winds blew chill,
With rudy cheeks and ninnble feet,
To coast down Martins Hill.
There was no hating on the way,
No one steerSd out or .'slowed;
We sped like mad down Martins Hill,
And shouted CLEAR the roadW
Then one by one we put away
The much beloved sled,
And journeyed forth into the world,
Ambitions path to tread.
We babe good-by to Martins Hill
And youthhocd's sweet abode,
And shouted In an undertone ~ H..
For men to "Clear the roadv'
We found along the paths of trade
Another Martins Hill;
With men at break-neck pace acoast,
With voices loud and shrill
Who never halted on their way
Where fortunes fancies glowed,
Who shouted loud from morn till night
That warning, "Clear the road!'

When the Sand Man comea.


AS soon as the day has gone to sleep,
And the night has come to town,
A queer little man walks through the
street
In a queer little dust-color gown.
He carries on his queer little arm
A pail all filed with sand,
And queer little shovel, all made of
gold,
In his other queer little hand.
He runs up the stair, and he knocks at
the door
Of the house where the children are,
And with his shovel all made of gold
He scatters his sand afar.
And some of 1t falls in the little lads
eyes,
And some in the little maids,
And lids grow heavy, and eyes grow DIM
And the light in the nursery fades.
Then this queer little man in the dust
color gown
Runs away with his pail Of sand,
And his queer little shovel, all made of
gold,
To the gardens of Fairyland.
