POINTERS ON CUBAN GAME
Addison Townsend Brings Back some
of Implements and Informal
tion of Jai-a-'lal.

Addison Townsend, who has Just re-
turned from Cuba, has brought home with
him some of the implements used in ne
gene of jai-a-'lai, pronounced li-a-li The
game is played in a stone-walled court
with cement floor and has rules similar
to racquet. The ball is thrown from a
wicker basket against the wall. and as II
returns II is caught in the basket and re-
turned Immediately, without a moment S
hesitation. The basket is provided with
a gloved back and the ball used is hard
and slightly smaller than a base ball.
Mr.. Townsend says the game is very
scientific and the ball can be thrown over
500 feet. An instance was given OF when
some Americans were in Cuba and 1he
question came up as TO the distance the
ball could be thrown with the basket and
the Americans thought they could throw
the BAH farther with the ordinary hand.
The American threw the ball from center
field to the home plate and the Cuban
threw It over the grandstand from the
same place,

as Daniel B. Cropsey and ventured out into
the wilds of Jefferson county where few
white men at that time were to be found,
only J. f. Mendenhall and two or three
others. Dan and ]. E. got together,
brushed aside a few bramble bushes and
trees and things. and started Jefferson
county. Then one day Cropsey. while in
the act Of cutting down a big oak, heard
loud noise. He looked around and beheld
vast concourse OF people. Il was the vox
populi. His country had called and he re-
sponded and made laws at Lincoln for two
long, tedious sessions.
The only point of essential difference be-
tween German and Cropsey is that German
was democrat and Cropsey Is a repub-
lican.
Cropsey found time in the course of his
busy political career TO look out for a fu.
ture competency. The other day ne counted
up and found that besides some Other
trfiing collateral he was the proud posses
sor of three national banks, president OF
them, and he has decided to worry alone
with them from now on, letting his county
and state look to others for their political
safety.

~COmfOrtably."

One Thomas Tor Tam) Young long
held the office of headsman in Glas-
gov. He was to be seen every day
In the public green, escorted by one
or two ugly bulldogs. The gallows
tree at the cross was a strange erec-
ton, fixed with many ropes upright
to the steeple. Afterward, when death
was inflicted in front Of the Jail at the
foot of the green, large box or chest
was formed as the gallows. 1t was
erected in a wrights yard then in
Buchanan street. 1t was frequently
visited during its erection by morbid
ly curious people. 1t could be sepa-
rated, and each board was numbered,
and so could be easily put together.
There We're four or five who were at
the time of it's construction under
sentence of death. Tamas, having
been taken to see the machine and to
give his opinion as to its accOmmOda-
ton, naive:y replied that four could
be comfortably hanged Oh the beam.
but no more" That number did in
1879 expiate their crimes on this Ill
fated machine-Old Glasgow.

THE CUBAN PATRIOTS

The Cuban revolution is the real
thing. Regular battles are fought and
the contending parties retreat and re-
form just as they used to in the in
surrection against Spain. Hen roOsts
are robbed and sugar planters are
held up for breakfasts for the insur-
gents. The entire revolutionary army
is formed of generals, colonies and
majors who eft mitt Weyler." The
only obstacle to the complete over
throw of Palma is the lack of privates.
Only one has shown up in the rebel
camp to date.
The insurgents are apparently
fiercely against the administration
because they are not in office. 1t is
a yearning which is not confined to
Cuba. Military heroes ever made the
best aldermen, sheriffs and county
commissions in their own estima-
ton. The Palma government tried to
satisfy the patriots with distributions
of money, but the millions voted by
the Cuban congress have long ago
gone up in cigarette smoke and the
generals, colonies and majors are face
to face with the problem of going to
work if they cannot scare the gov
eminent into doing something more
for them.
The government ought to establish
workhouse and give the generals
from sixty to ninety days each. They
never were soldiers. Against Span
iards they made quite a showing be-
cause the Spaniards were more
afraid of being shot from behind than
in front. They were experts in the
art of levying on the country but of
real patriotism they were devoid.
The government is fair, compare
lively clean. The country is peace
full. Trade flourishes and industries
are being built up. Everybody in
Cuba is content except the uncOn-
querable hosts of Gomez who see their
occupation of chicken stealing and
midnight marauding going. Their in
surrection is a protest against the en-
ervating effects of civilization. A
bath and the work-house would cure
it
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1906-08-30

Another modern idea is that of
banking by mali. This has proved
highly successful in some cases. A
Pittsburg savings institution has built
up it's deposit account materially in
this way.
The mail order houses, institutions
that sell direct to the consumer in the
country, thus cutting out the retailer,
are now taking up banking. A farmer
who can get 8 or per cent from his
home bank for money deposited may
receive per cent by depositing it
with the mail order house. Probably
there is no money in it for the house
directly, but with a credit lying there
the depositor is likely to purchase
more freely, hence more business.
None of these things seem in ac-
cordance with the true principles of
banking The day and night bank of
New York is a legitimate institution.
There is no reason why such radical
departures should not be tried on in
particular cases. They may succeed.
But if the general effect is to be to
start day and night banks through
the country to cater to the class of
people who want to do their banking
at such hours, and if the mail-o order
houses are going to become bankers,
then the older, long-established bank
ing institutions have all the more
reason for conservatism and caution
pending the test of these new-fash-
toned schemes, which have yet to
show that they are for the general
good.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

A man isn't beaten as long as he isn't

of his troubles he always heaps up the

Where Helena Gould Sleeps.
Paris Dispatch.

. A woman worth millions, Miss Helen
Gould, was put to the necessity the
other night of going from pillar to post
in hunt for a place where she might
lay her multimillionaire dollar head,
and was finally compelled to sleep in
an attic and seemed exceedingly glad
of the chance. With a party she had
been motoring through Switzerland,
and owing to the crush of automobile
tourists they found Chamounix crowd
ed and all the hotels filled. Only af-
ter an hours search of the town did
the wealthy Americans get places to
lay their heads. Then they dis
possessed" some servants, who gave
up their roms under the roof to the
distinguished arrivals. But to occupy
these cubbyholes cost Miss Gould S
generosity more than handsome
suite would have brought the propri-
etOr under ordinary circumstances.
