in his day. played most decided part
to win the pennant for the Bostons.
Although in such physical condition
that he should have been in the hos
pital, he persisted in playing. and no
one would have suspected that any,
thing allied him. When player
played in Baltimore in those days, it
was as much as his personal safety
was worth. If he came out un-
scratched he was lucky indeed. 1t
was a case of a tussle with McGann
on first, with Hughey Jennings on
second. and the toughest obstacle of
them all-McGraw-on third base.
Hamilton undertook to make the
rounds at very critical period of the
game, and when he ran the gauntlet
and successfully got away from that
bunch he was fit to carry home on
stretcher. Talk about a game player.
Billy Hamilton was if there ever was
such. No pennant in the country was
ever more CALAMITY won. or more
richly earned, than the pennant in
1897. and more game lot of players
never constituted a ball club than the
club of that year representing Bos-
ton.

But there is good reason for his
action. The fan problem and the win
dow problem are two of the most an
moving questions In the departments.
during the season the fans are in use
and the windows are open. A good
percentage Of the clerical force of the
different departments is from time to
time laid UP and away from their dut-
les by reason of colds and sickness
contracted by drafts from the windows
or from currents of air blown by the
fans.
THE main reason for this is be-
cause the desks of clerks are arbi-
trarily fixed by the chiefs. The rooms
are mostly very crowded with clerks
he is put And he is also required to
remain seated at his desk and cannot
shift to a more desirable location In
the room, as he can in private office.
Consequently clerks in exposed por-
tiOns in room are often made i'll, and
this means an absence from the office,
not to speak of the clerks personal
discomfort or his consequent illness
and suffering. A number of clerks
away because of illness means a re-
tarding of the work, which is seri-
GUS matter with the chiefs who are
responsible for getting out the work.
I'VE have found in the departments
that currents of air from fans are even
more deadly than drafts from win
dows. There is great deal of activ-
ity among the clerks in crowded rooms;
and with the close, heated atmosphere
therein they perspire freely.

FARGO COLLEGE FOOTBALL,
Coach GrOgan Will Have Fast. Light
Team This Fall.

During the past week Coach Grogan
of Fargo college has been at work
with his football squad, and from all
reports. the prospects for winning
team. are good At the present time
the team is composed OF very light
material but this is not as great
disadvantage this season as in the
past.
Most of the past week has been
spent in teaching the men the rudi-
ments of the game, such as tackling,
catching and falling on the ball, start
ing and charging.
At the present time there are but
few of the old men in school. but
Captain Miller, Lake Headland, BOYD
and few others of last years SQUAD
are expected to arrive any day.
The presence of Captain Miller will
be welcomed, as he is strong player,
both on the offensive and defensive.
He will make fine captain because
of his inspiring playing.
Pritchard, Matteson and McConville
are the only old men in the present
line up. and they are playing much
stronger game than they did last year.
McConville will in all probability be
changed to the back field this season.
Matteson and Pritchard will try for
Coach Grogan is not making any
predictions as to the outcome of the
games to be played, but he feels con-
fident that the team will make good.
He feels the new rules will be an aid
to his team as they give a light ag-
gregation more advantage on the de-
tense. No games will be played for a
couple of weeks, as it will take that
length of time to perfect a few SIM
pie formations.
Not more than FIVE games will be
played this fall.

HAMILTON RACE MEETING.

Hamilton, Ont. Sept. 25.-The pros
poets for the fall meeting of the
Hamilton Jockey club. which began to-
day. are for one of the very best race
meetings ever held here. Though
new stables have been built during
the summer the Accommodations are
scarcely adequate for the unusually
large number of entries. The horses
have come back to the autumn races
thoroughly seasoned after the sum-
mer's campaign and the quality of the
thoroushbreds will make the conten-
ton for the stakes and purses the
keenest in the history Of the local
track. The meeting will continue un-
til October 8.
When Imp, the queen of the turf,
the coal black lady," went to the
bad and could no longer win stake
races, Pete Clay's heart broke.
The heart, what was left of it, and
that part of Pete that could answer to
a technical charge went to the Kings
county penitentiary yesterday for a
six months rest.
Seven or eight years ago there was
no better known jockey on the turf
than Pete Clay, the little niger"
coal black and proud of his ancestry.
1t was he who piloted Bowling Brook
to victory in the Metropolitan handi-
cap at Morris Park in the spring of
1898.
But Imp, the first mare to win a
Suburban, was his idol He lived with
her. He slept in her stall and loved
her as if she were his sister. To even
say nothing detrimental to Imp in
Clay's presence was to call for razors
and a hearse.
Imp did we'll. Clay rode on her
neck to many victory only a few
racing seasons ago, but naturally in
the course of time she was retired and
the colored boys. heart was broken.
He quit riding. He would sit for
days in the shadow of the stables and
humble the history of the past.
"Bughouse" was the verdict of the
paddock.
AS he quit riding naturally his
finances reached low ebb. He had
one friend, an old negro groom, who
took care Of him as long as he could,
but who finally saw it was no use.
The Sheepshead Bay races came on
and Pete heard the call" He was
there but in bad. He was arrested
for vagrancy. When arraigned before
Magistrate Voorhis yesterday he
showed newspaper clippings which
proved that only few years ago he
was one of the best black riders that
ever straddler horse. The magis-
trate was more than kind and advised
Pete to take few months in the
county prison for his own sake. He
did so.
1t was not SO many years that
Jockey Pete Clay was almost as ia
nous as old Dan Harness Imp,
heroine of many hard fought turf
victory. Let 'er sleep, Pete; let
er Sleep" was cry known to every
racegoer who ever saw the immor-
tai Imp come down the stretch. That
was the cry of Tom Tandy, Imp's
rubber. as black as the mares own
silken sides and as black as Pete Clay.
her pilot. Probably there has been no
racemare in the last decade about
whom so much turf romance has been
woven as Imp. If you have been to
the races and heard that cry over in
the infield it was to Clay on Imp that
those instructions were shouted. Imp
is retired, good old mare, to the stud;
Tandy's disappearance from the turf
was contemporaneous with hers, and
now Pete Clay, more's the pity, is in
the Kings county penitentiary.

Self.Accommodating Worm.

Inc German Geological Society,
which held its sixteenth annual meet
ing at Marburg on the Lain, gave rise
to much interesting discussion as to
the ways of invertebrae among the
forms of living species. Professor
korschelt, of Marburg, has made life
long study of rainwOrms and similar
organic creatures, and related to a
sympathetic audience the various ex-
periments and consequent deductions
made by himself and his pupils in
this labor on behalf of science, con-
Quoted at the Marburg institute.
For instance, if appears that if sew
eral rainwOrms are severed into var.
ious pieces, and these are then "shuf-
fed" as 1t were, a new worm may
be evolved, having the head of one,
the tail of another, and the trunk of a
third, each part being apparently in
different as to what or which body It
may be attached to, and the body" in
question showing equal impartiality as
to strange heads and tails.
And thus Joined in new growth the
composite rainwOrm may even enioy
lengthy and hale existence, five or
six years being quite the normal length
OF one of these creatures span on
earth, while some attain to the good
old age of nine or ten.

The spirit of Christmas is abroad in the air; as We pass along the streets: in the stores where everything mag inable is displayed, a bewilderine ar ray to attract, delight, suggest, con fuse, tempt and impoyerish the eager Christmas shopper; in the schools, where the children big and little ar= gathering in groups here and there td discuss their plans for the fast ap- preaching holidays-and the teachers find themselves scarcely less i0lueac- ed b ythis all perNadiag Christmas at- mosphere.

 Countless little hearts are happy oy- CT thoughts of Santa Claus, and de- lightful anticipation Of what his won derful sled will have for them.
 The Christmas spirit is every where in the churches. where preparations are going on for various kinds of en- tertainments; where special Christ mas music is being prepared by the different choirs and in the various Sunday schools.
 It is in the realm or social life where many beautiful events are in conJem- platiOn, in the home; and elsewhere I believe it is true that nowhere in our broad country is Christmas cele- brated with such thorough enjoyment and hearty and genuine good will as in our glorious Southland Christmas in the far West is certainly very diff ferent from the joyous. noisy Southern Christmas While here the festiGe firecracker aNd the fYisky small boy are in constant activity for days be- fore and throughout the holiday. and the indispensable fireworks of all kinds make the nights beautiful to the eye and hdeous to the ear, while here quantities of beautiful ever greens, cedar, holly and mistletoe can be obtained at so little effort and eX pense. and. add so much to the Christ mas feeling in the home; the things are sadly lacking in the West.
