Everett got the first basket and then
forged ahead with baskets on fouls. But
COlfax woke up and more than cOuntered
with splendid field throws.
An indication of the splendid work
done by COlfax is the score, which shows
seven field throws for the champions
against three fields for the visitors.
In the second half the furnishing work
OF both teams W6s evidenced by de-
cided slowing up on both sides. The
killing pace set could not be maintained
or expected.
1t was in this half that thoughtless
roOters for COifax cost the champions
two fouls. Umpire McBirney was un-
fairly hissed on decision and promptly
retaliated by enforcing the rules and de-
claring fouls on Colfax. That ended the
unpleasant demonstrations.
1t seemed an age in that last half un-
Til the timekeeper's whistle sounded
The Everett players got the ball into
their territory Oftener, through long
throws mostly, but could not keep it
there.
One Of the Indications Of how intense
was the interest taken may be cited in
the fact that there were many minutes
of play when the silence was such that
nothing but the scuttiing of the players
and the deep breathing Of the spectators
was heard. Even the most abandoned
roOter ceased nOisemaking to watch,
trembling or teDsely the critical plays
in which those OverwrOught. over
strained players doggedly contested
every inch Of advance or retreat.
1t was a glorious game, fought with
spirit, with fairness and with skill which
left behind no shadow Of blame for the
defeated-only praise and glory for those
plucky, clever visitors who but once be-
fore have known the sorrows OF defeat.
For Colfax it is a magnificent victory
one which gives beyond dispute the
title Of champions Of three states and
Eastern and Western Washington. The

A Boston financer whose summer

paid the fines imposed on group of
lobstermen after the raid of the state

One Saturday afternoon, as he seated

WHEN LONGFELLOW SANG.
Singing Schools Were the Rage
and "JOseph" Had Caught
the Fever,

The office of station agent at George
town was held for a number of years
by William Horner. In those days
singing schools fiourished throughout
the country districts, and Horner was
one of the most prominent in this di-
version, relates the Boston Herald
On one occasion a friend from Bos-
ton was visiting him, and he wished to
show him the country. Accordinly
after the last train had gone, Horner
hitched up his horse and drove the
visitor down to Plum island, returning
through Newbury somewhat after mid
night.
When he came to the old Longfellow
place on the hill, where Joseph Long,
fellow was then living, he pulled in
his horse. Il want to stop here a
minute" he said
Leaving the astonished visitor in
the buggy, Horner went to the door
and raped loudly. The old gentle
man within, hearing the noise, arose
and came at aPce to the door AS
soon as he appeared, Horner, without
a word, began to sing:
Should auld acquaintance be for
got"
Longfellow, standing in the door
way, clad only in his night clothes,
took up the song, and together they
finished it. Horner turned and re-
Joined his companion, while the old
gentleman went back to bed.
The visitor was sufficiently aston
ished by this time to exclaim ut the
unusual occurrence.
"Oh," said Horner, anybody in
this country will get up to sing with
you!"

So it is with the human soul. There

eyes; now, the doubt was gone.
To him, soberly watchful, her smile

night he had tossed on his cot, think
ing, thinking! What should he do?
Whatever should he do? That some
wrong was on the way he hadn't the
least doubt. Should he confront the
colonel and demand an explanation, a
demand he knew he had a perfect
right to make? If this should be evil,
and the shame of it fall on this lovely
being? No, no! He must
stand aside, he must turn a deaf ear
to duty, the voice of love spoke too
loud. His own assurance of her inno-
cence made him desire to fall at her
feet and worship. After all, it was
none of his affair Had he not played
at this comedy, this thing would have
gone on and he would have been in ig-
norance of it's very existence. So, why
should he meddle? Yet that monot-

to see him in the study. So James
spruced up and duly presented himself
at the study door.
"You sent for me, Miss?"- his hat
in his hand, his attitude deferential
and attentive.
She was engaged upon some fancy
work, the name of which no man
knows, and if he were told, could not
possibly remember for longer than ten

man to lower his gaze. James looked
at his boots. His heart gave one great
bound toward his throat, then sank
what seemed to be fathoms deep in
his breast. This was thunderbolt
out of heaven itself. Had she seen
him, then? For space he was tempted
to utter a falsehood; but there was
that in her eyes which warned him
of the uselessness of such an expedient.
Yet, to give up that rose would be like
giving up some part of his being. She

James was pale. So she had thrown

aid Of the servant procured European
costumes and set out to see the sights
on its own account. Mohammed Ben
Ferma. the husband. however, discov-
cred the truth and became angry.
In order to prevent a repetition of
the escapade he took away from his
wives their European clothes and had
an iron barred cage fitted up in one
Of the rooms in which he placed his
wives when he went out. Again the
servant betrayed his trust: for 20
francs a lOcksmith furnished a dupli-
cate key. and once more the three
members of the harem enjoyed their
liberty. But it was not TO last.
One night Mohammed returned to
the fat earlier than usual and found
the cage empty. He awaited his wives
return. When they came he proceeded
to try them according to the law Of the
Koran" and sentenced them to death.
Suddenly the neighborhood was arous-
ed by awful screams.
When the police burst into the fiat
they found Mohammed preparing to
bowstring his wives. He was annoyed
at being interrupted and turned upon
the rescuers. fighting like mad. It
took six policemen to subdue him. He
is now i'm prison. The authorities are
wondering what to do with the harem.
