years, has disposed Of his farm,

Youthful offenders.

The two little Holman boys
from Bowbells in the county
jail are twelve and fourteen years
old. They look two years young
er. They stole two turkeys and
it is said that this was not their
first offense. An effort was made
to secure their release but this
seems to be not their first offense
and the reform school will do
them good. Their mother is a
poor washer woman at Bowbells
who has five or six smallchildren
and the father is q shiftless fellow
who is ut Harvey.

1890. This increase includes AL Es-
kimos discovered by Captain Holm in
1894. The actual increase was there
fore 936, or 80 per cent. The Euro
pean population OF Greenland in 1901

gest villages are Sukkertdppen, with

gate receipts. II seems little hard on
the owners TO take position Of that
kind when all the circumstances are
taken into consideration.
For example, suppose that the gate
receipts of the first four games should
amount to $4,000. which is a very
small estimate II the weather should
be favorable to the games being play
ed.
OF that amount the national commits
sion would be given 10 per cent-the
sum Of $2,500-which is to be used to
purchase the worlds championship pen
nant, pay the umpires, purchase the
Individual emblems for the members
of the winning team--and they will be
emblems worth having and provide
for such other expenses as may be
found necessary to conduct the series
with success.
Deducting $500 from the total re-
ceipts Of $4,000 leaves the sum Of
S22,500. OF this amount 40 per cent
goes to the players who take part in the
games. This would amount to $1,000.
Seventy-hve per cent of the $4,000
would go 70 the winning team, a sum
Of S6.750, and IS per cent would go to
the losing team, sum OF $3.50.
After the sum Of $4,000 is taken from
the SO, 500 there would be left S13.5Oo
to be divided equally between the own
ers of the clubs competing, giving each
owner S6,75O
1t must be borne in mind, however
that while this series is being conduct
ed the players are put to no expense
whatever The owners guarantee tC
maintain their salaries even II the
games should extend beyond the con
tract period of the players and alsC
must pay the ground rent and all in
cidental expenses necessary for the EN-
ployees Of the grounds. the advertising
and the hundred and one little things
which are part Of the baseball owners
burden. The players will not be re
quired to pay their travelling expenses
in fact, in every way will be cared 70
as il the regular championship seasol
were being prolonged.
Therefore what each player receives
is pure velvet" If the clubs in tn
larger cities should happen to be tn
winners it is fair TO presume that tn
gate receipts Of the first four game
} would amount to thousands OF dollar
