Arrow Shields.

The other day l saw a little, modern
book, in a green cover, on a table in
a drawing rom. picked it up. 1t
was about the early French In Canada,
and my eye fell on a copy Of a draw
ing by their leader, Champlin, or Cham
plain. The scene represented was an
attack by the native allies Of the
French, the Algonquins, on a fort held
by Iroquois. The Algonquins advanced
through showers of arrows under
shields nearly Is tall as themselves,
like doors with rounded tops. Now,
you may see exactly the same sort Of
shields in a picture of a lion hunt, in
laid in gold and silver, on the bronze
blade of a dagger found by DR.. Schlie-
mann in 1.-THE grave of Agamemnon."
These monstrous Mycenaean shields
cause much discussion among the learn
ed. Why were they so huge? The Al
gonquins used the very same shields,
hung from their necks, and the reason
was the same-their battles were bat
ties Of archers, and nobody can parry
a shower Of arrows with a smaller
shield. Shields grew small in Greece
as bow and arrow went out and sword
and spear came in.-London Illustrat'

IDEAL CONDITIONS.

The winter in this vicinity has
been exceptionally good both for
stockmen and farmers. There
have been no severe storms or
p]rotracted spells of extremely
cold weather. A little snow came
early, furnishing moisture for the
range and cultivated ground and
the moisture falling since has
been absorbed by the ground,
little running off. Indications
point to an early spring with
cattle and sheep in fine condi-
ton and the soil in the best of
shape for cropping.
Last year Stark county farmers
were seeding in March but the
mild spell was followed by pro-
tracted cold weather and the re-
suit was that the crops sown early
we're not as good as those sown
later.
BY another week the farmers
will be working their land and
under most favorable conditions.

HOW APOLLO AUDIENCE
 GAVE AID TO WILHELM

For the first time this season, doubt as to the outcome of the game was not that which kept the audience in Com modore" Orcutts matinee keyed up yes- terday. After a few innings of play, the game was cinched for the locals, and this little matter was soon passed over in the rush of events that followed in rapid suc- cession, Interest when Birmingham was at the bat, strange to relate, Jagged dreadfully But when the Pretzels came to the stick, every man and child in that large audience was keyed up to the high est pitch. When the side was success fully retired without a single one of the Pretzels hitting to safe territory, there was at each time a vast sight of relief that rose from the spectators. and threat ened to tear the top from the house.
 As Wilhelm twirled, every fan in Birm- ingham, in spirit. was at his side, and everyone of them sent up a silent petition as each ball started It's journey to the plate. When the sphere escaped un- scratched, or was earomed about the in field in a helpless manner the sigh again was heard, this time being of thankfullness. And from inning to in- ming until in the ninth the last man was sent to his drink of ice water, the silent prays, and the signs continued, only mar red by an occasional and enthusiastic

burst of spontaneous applause. As Lit tie Eva" was pitching that remarkable game yesterday, even though he was an hundred miles away from his sympa- thlzers, he never was in higher favor with the local fans Everyone hoped for him record, and when it was all over, and the great artist wearing the big B" of this burg had achieved a more re- markable success than any other South ern League pitcher in the existence of this association, every fan leaving the audi ence was smiling broadly, and a rich sat isfaction was sitting comfortably on every countenance.
 "Go 1t Little Evar" was one of the common cries. Don't let them see the first base, Billy" "Ain't he moving them down like grass in the feldr' We are all with you, old fellow, make a recordr'
 Throughout the afternoon, these hearty cries of support were continued, and Will helm, himself, nor the Barons. nor the local management, could have felt greater degree of pride in the phenomenal record than those faithful ones who un- derwent marvellous strain yesterday at the Apollo and came away with broad ly smiling, and well pleased countenances Men. unknown to each other, shook hands silently.

 The only other no-hit game pitched in recent years by Southern league artist was twirled by Bartley, then of shreve- port, on the local grounds That twrler lost his game, through the errors of his team mates. This year there have oe- cured some dozen two-hit gailes in the Southern league, sallee and Clark of the locals pitching two of them.
 As stated however. Wilhelm has now established record that cannot be sur passed, if baseball is played a hundred years from today. Only twenty-seven men faced the pitcher He allowed no hit. He gave no base on balls No man reached first through an error. Such a record is phenomenal, and all of the fans of Montgomery who missed the one-sided struggle are kicking themselves today.
 Last season the great Matthewson pitched a no-hit game. in which only twenty-eght men faced him. Cy Young also has a wonderful no-hit game record, but that of Little Eva" surpasses his

wilhelm's record is without parallel. according to the old baseball heads of Birmingham. There have occurred several no-hit games, but none in which no bases on balls were given. or in which no fielder made miscue. If this record is the world'e record. then Little Eva" has whole halo, shared by none other
 In 1902 Wilhelm did the most excellent pitching that season in the United States This record was made against Nashville on August 9. on which date occurred at doubleheader at West Enl Concern ing this record Reaeh's official guide for 1902 says:
 "The best pitching feat of 1902 in the profession was accomplished by Irwin Wilhelm of the Birmingham (Ala.) team of the Southern league.
