QUESTION.

Dear heart, if we could walk away q Adown the wales of yesterday. Could climb again like laughing Hope Each green-clad knoll. each verdant slopa Could sit and see the rivers shine Through beech and fir and spruce and ptne. Would we achieve all that we knew Of peace and love betwixt us two?
 If we could see the clover bloom And catch the far-blown sweet perfume Of the wild flowers of the wood M Know everything that seemed % good In those bright days to you and me. The shadow of the buckeye tree,
 And everything, would your soul then Speak through your eyes to mine asa1AY If we could stand beneath the mooa In purple shade by the lagoon
 And see the poplars slim and high In silhouette against the sky,
 And see afar the city's light
 In thousand stars against the night Where the moonpath just shuns the shotos Would we be as we were once morsf Would we-would we between us twoS Would that rare bond that once we knew Hold our two souls as once 1t did
 When my warm kisses were unchidf l know the knolls and slopes are thsre. The whole vast scene, The skies arc fa1D As they were then, my heart beats truoi Do you stiu treasure all we knswf -J. M. Lewis. in Houston Post.

ARTISTS OF CUE
Boy Hoppe Is Seeking the Highest of
 G HonOrs.

Billiardists all over the country are interested in the result of the match game now being arranged between Jacob Schaefer and Willie Hoppe, to take place soon at St Louis.
 On the result of this greatest of bil- Hard games of the season in America may depend the worlds championship, as the winner is sure to challenge Mau- rice Vignaux, holder of the two em- blems at eighteen-inch balk line, one and two shots in, presented by the Brunswick- Bake -Coliender Co. The St Louis contest is to be at eighteen-inch balk line, two shots in. As the game is of 1,5OO points, 800 on each of three nights, the test of skill for both players will be the best that could have been arranged.
 In number of exhibition contests between Hoppe and Schaefer during q tour of the country, which closed about eight weeks ago, when Schaefer fell on ,the ice and broke a finger of the right hand, Hoppe was the greatest winner. It was this fact that proba- ply gave the youngster greater promi- hence among the billiard stars than he was entitled to, at least that is the opinion of older players.
 Schaefer had been ill since his re- turn from France last fall and it is also known that he was q ''booster'' for young players. At the same time, while Schaefer was showing poor form, Hoppe was playing the game of his life.
 Schaefer has recovered from his re- cent injury and long rest at West Baden Springs has greatly improved his health. In recent practice he has been showing all his old form in bill lizards.
 As a result of the games with Young Hoppe and the result of criticism for the old champion with the cue, the friends of Schaefer have insisted that $500 side bet be posted on the com ing match, offering to increase the stake if Hoppe's packer, a St Louis hotel proprietor, desires.
 Both Hoppe and Schaefer will go to Paris immediately after this game and the winner will challenge Vignaux for the worlds championship. The French man is the oldest of the star players in lAC NOTlu, dDuuI OO, dllQ IL IS uUuUllu LII if he will ever again visit America. About the only chance of bringing the emblems to this country depends, therefore, upon the game with either Hoppe or Schaefer as the challenger. Before crossing the pond, however. the friends of George Slosson would like to know what Hoppe intends to do about playing the Student" who has repeatedly of late indicated de- sire for game with his youthful rival. Slosson and Schaefer have met about forty times in match and tour nament games, and there is only one or two victories difference in the grand
 total result, each claiming the odd.
 Blossoms friends are willing to bet $500 to $1,00O on a game against
 HOppe and the patrons of the sport ! earnestly desire to see such q contest.
 If arranged it would be the only big game between the stars in the east this season.

For seven innings at the Polo grounds yesterday the Montreals of the Eastern League, gave the Giants an interesting battle. Then the champions took all kinds of liberties with pitcher Han1mon's fast shoots and, coupled with the latter's wildness, added six runs to their score.
 With the exception of Hammon, who lacked condition, the visitors impressed the several hundred fans as being a fast aggregation.
 Manager McGraw worked McGin- nifty in the early part of the game, and during the four innings he pitched the "Iron Man" held the Canadians down to single hit and retired five of them on strikes.
 Matthewson's work in the box also showed that the hig man is in fine shape. Six of the visitors famed in their attempt to connect with his curves and but three scattered singles were secured off his delivery.
 Not a fielding or batting error was charged against the champions. The score: R. H. E. New York 0 OOOO6 6O.-s 8 ? Montreal. o OOOO O.O o GO 4 3

Iuc return or Cnarley MlCe0elI 10 the fighting game as the manager of Jabez White recalls many incidents Of his adventurous career.
 Mitchell was for season. the star attraction in the Thatcher, Primrose & West minstrel show. He went on after the first part and did Ajax de- flying the lightning. the Greek Faun pitching quoits, the Roman gladiator facing the lions, Atlas sustaining the earth, and as an apotheosis, in full sporting costume, as Charley Mitch ell, the. Champion of the World" all under flare of appropriate lights. Among the minstrels of minor i'm portance was clog dancer named Branscombe, Lancashire boy who always wanted to put the gloves on with Charley. But Charley treated his countryman with the serene con- tempt that star displays toward a small actor, until one day, in Buffalo, he told the ambitious youth to stick to his milk bottle, that he had no time to fool with him. The insult hurt.
 The succeeding week, at Detroit, on the opening night, Branscombe boldly walked on the stage when Mitchell was posing as the prize fighter and smashed him in the face. There was an uproar all over the house.
 Mitchell was surprised, even dumb founded. and the clog dancer put it to him half dozen times before he col lected himself. Auditors, minstrel men and stage hands strove to separ- ate the combatants.
 Finally they got the men apart, Branscombe yelling: What, ye cock ney stiff! Tell me to stick to my milk bottle! Why, I'll fight thee for 'arf a crown wi one and be'ind me back" Mitchell had both eyes blackened and the Lancashire lads injuries con- sisted of bloody nose. However, they thought it well to convey Brans- combe across to Canada, where the next morning he lost his life in an accident on the Great Western rail way.
