keenly enjoying the national pastime
The big men of this and other nations
In the capital are base ball fans of
the highest degree, and are glad to
eschew court decisions, railroad and
other legislation, national and inter-
national topics for the less weighty
decisions of the diamond. As soon as
business can be transacted at the
Capitol and in the departments it is
customary for these distinguished
base ball enthusiasts to betake them
selves to National Park for an after
noon of enjoyment, roofing for their
favorite teams and resting from af-
fairs of State.
The different teams throughout the
country like to visit Washington for
the privilege of playing before the
most distinguished spectators to be
found In any country on the globe.

CANNON AT SEVENTY.
A GREAT ADO MADE OYER THE
ANNIVERS4RY OF "UNCLE
.JOE'S'' BIRTHDAY.
Greeted With Hearty Applause on
the Floor of the House and Honor
ed With Reception Which all Official
Washington Society Attended.

There We're great doings in WASH
ington town last month when "Uncie
Joe" Cannon, the Gear" of the House
of Representatives reached his seven
tieth year.
In the first place great storm of
cheers greeted the Speaker when he
appeared on the floor of the House.
Both Republican and Democratic
members applauded the Illinois states
man long and loud, Mr.. Cannon ac-
kpowledging the salutation with 4
homely bow.
In the evening, official Washington
honored the Speaker at reception
rendered him by the House of Repre-
sentatives, where some 1900 guests
were invited. That the passage of

of fishermen who are never satisfied
unless the fish are always on the line.
1t SO happened that l found pleasure
In the mere anticipation; and we sat
silent for half an hour, 1 holding the
throbbing line that the ebbing tide
played upon as the string of musical
instrument. l glanced at my
companion, and was wondering If in
his veins ran the blood of the AZtecs
or of the Indians whom Cabrillo and
others found here centuries ago when
Santa Catalina was an empire in 1t
self and owned by them, when sud
denly I became aware that lie ten
sion of the line l held had increased
to steady pull; then came jerk that
carried my hand into the water.

awakened from his reverie by my eX-
clamation, SLACK!

time was not worrying Uncle Joe was
manifested by the hearty hand-clasps
with which he greeted his friends, as
well as the salutations extended to
those who confused years with age.
Uncle Joe was seventy years young"
President Roosevelt Joined in the
ovation, Offering the Speaker his
hearty congratulations, not because he
was getting old, but because he was
doing it gracefully. Mr.. Cannon did
two things which might worry many
a younger man. First he hadsto sign
something over a thousand photo
graphs of himself, which were given to
the guests as souvenirs, and again he
shook hands with the guests upon re-
ceiving an equal number of personal
congratulations.
There We're many sly digs and re-
marks regarding the buzzing of the
presidential bee around Mr.. Cannon;
head, and one of the throng remarked
at the close of the reception, "Any man
who can stand and shake hands with
twelve hundred or more persons be-
tween nine and twelve o'clock, and not
show signs of fatigue, is well fit to
enter the presidential race, and ought
to enjoy the prize If he wins it,
There were many friends present
from Danville, ILL.,, who had sent
number of handsome wreaths and
floral decorations. Mr.. Cannon, how
ever, is a native of Guilford, n. c.,
and if his friends have their way the
Speaker will be the first Southern man
since the war to become a White
House occupant.
Speaking seriously of the presidency,
Mr.. Cannon said, mo man would de
cline to become President of the
United States, but not all men can af-
ford to be a candidate for the place.
The bee is not bothering me. l want
to do my work as Speaker; that will be
glory enough for me, and if l We're
a candidate I'd have to lie about my
age, and I'd have to live constantly in
fear and trembling, not as to whether
I'm doing my duty, but as to whether,
by doing my duty, 1 wouldn't give of
Tense to somebody.

my own business"

cannot, Of course, be pulled with rod

hooked, the plan is to play it and tire

NEW SPECIE
OF MUTTON

Some woolless sheep have been newly
brought to this country, says the
Washington Post. They are fawn
colored, somewhat resembling Jersey
cattle in hue, and quite small, not
exceeding 100 pounds in weight. Some
sheep weigh over 400 pounds
These animals are OF very peculiar
breed, which is known nowhere except
in Barbados. 1t was from these is
lands that the specimens imported by
the government were obtained. The
general belief is that the variety was
originally brought to Barbados from
Africa, but nobody knows with certain
ty. Though lacking wool, they have
very superior meat, it is said
The imported specimens have been
placed on the Arlington farm conducted
by the department OF agriculture, across
the Potomac from the city of Washing
ton. An effort will be made to find out
what the sheep are good for, and
whether their meat is sufficiently
superior to ordinary mutton to make
it worth while to introduce the stock
for breeding in the United States.

YELLOW JOURNALISM
AT SILVER BOW

r. l.. SMALL, formerly editor of this
paper has sresurrected hispaper at Silver
Bow, with the awakening of that camp,
and that prosperity has struck his
locality, is evidenced by the following
which was contained in a recent issue oil
the Silver Bow Standard.
a limited number of this issue of
the Standard had the headline printed
in pure gold dust from the Reed and
Robbie lease This is the first time in
the history of Western journalism that
such paper was ever turned off the
press. An effort was made to priAt
the whole issue in gold, but close
calculation showed that the cost of the
same would amount to a sum far in
excess OF the r.al value of the entire
plant, editor force and all. The dust
with which the headline is bronzed
assays IS, 200 per ton and this paper
will not resent any attempt on the part
OF the outside press to refer to this
number as "yellow journal"

SAD DEATH
OF CHILD

Willie Sargent, the eisbt-year-old son
OF Engineer William Sargent, who has
been connected with tie Carson pro-
ieet for the past two years, with head
quarters IN Ilazen, met instant death
in Los Angeles, Monday afternoon, by
being run over by an electric ear. The
unfortunate child accompanied by Mrs.
Sargent was visiting in Los Angeles,
having gone there last week. The
accident occurred on one of the princi-
pal streets in Los Angeles.
Immediately upon receipt of the
terrible news Mr. Sargent left Hazen

The bereaved family has many
friends in this section, who extend
to it their heartfelt sympathy.
