why, in many cases, the BAH runs
off into the gutter. -. !
Right in the beginning acquire
the habit of grasping the ball prop
erly. The spread of the fingers is
most important. Beginners make
the mistake of drawing the index
finger too close to the second fin
ger. This is what causes the ball
to turn and roll off into the gutter.
AS the Illustration shows, the fin
gers should be well spread, so that
the pressure on the ball as it
leaves the hand is equal in all di-
rections Any violation of this rule
is going to cause trouble in the
end. The bowler should also al
ways be certain to keep the second
finger held in a direct line with
the alley.

The average crop for the past five

OF the total production in 1906,
the territory west Of the Mississippi
contributed T, 233,210 bales, or 53.2

The London Mail says q hunting
foray" on the range Of mountains In
the northern part of County Antrim
has been attended with the loss of
three lives.
Five young men, the sons Of farm
ers, set out from their homes, about
Parkmore, early on Tuesday after
noon, and met at a prearranged rem
devious at the foot of Collin noun
tain, which rises LOO feet above the
Glens Of Antrim.
Ascending about half way, they
became so engrosSed in the days
sport that they did not notice a thick
cloudy mantle creeping down the
mountain side, and soon they became
enveloyed. With numerous ravines
around, and night approaching, they
became wildly alarmed, wandered
about for q few hours, and lost their
bearings.
One Of the party, Kelly, seeing,
as he thought, a light in the distance,
and thinking it denoted the small
farmstead Of man named Courtney,
whom he knew, went off, with one of
his companions, White, in that di-
rection to obtain guidance. They
rel not seen again alive.
The other three, Miller, Smith and
Connolly, remained behind together,
the last having become exhausted and
ILL. Out of the darkness they heard
the voice Of Kelly shouting, pats
down. and understood that Patrick
White had probably fallen into a
bOg-hole or down a ravine; but Kiel-
ty did not return.
They suffered so greatly from cold
during the night that Smith volun-
teered to attempt to reach Courtney's
house and bring assistance. Scarcely
able to crawl, Smith eventually
reached the farmhouse, but fell in
sensible before he could deliver mis-
message.
With hot lamentations and such
other rough and ready treatment as
the cottage allowed, he revived after
a few hours and told his startling
story.
Meanwhile Connolly had died in
the darkness of the mountain side.
His sole companion, Miller, realizing
that he could be Of no further assis-
lance to his comrade, marked the
place where his dead body. lay, and
with the approach Of dawn he also
crawled away. With many rests, he
reached Courtney's farm.
Courtney himself, having previous
ly learned some of the Circumstance
es, had set out at break of day down
the mountain to the nearest village
postoffice, Martinstown, and tele-
graphed to Connolly's father. When
he returned Miller and Smith had
sufficiently revived, and the three
went off TO find the body of young
Connolly, which they carried on an
improvised stretcher to the village.
Meantime the elder Connolly had
organized a search party of a dozen
friends. When the old man learned
that his sons body had been already
recovered he and his friends remov-
ed the remains to his home.
a large body of police and civilians
went up the mountain seeking for
Kielty and White. Their bodies were
found late in the afternoon in a
stream which the melting snow and
heavy rains had swollen to a ranging
torrent.

A TAINTED FORTUNE.
Texas Farmer Getting Rich by
Growing Bermuda Onions.
This YEARS Crop Is Estimated at
1900 Chr Loads and tho Profits to
Growers Amount to $1,OOO,O 600.

What Texas considered an expert
four years ago bids fair in the
space OF four years more to be the
principle industry Of the state, out
side of cotton growing. This Is
nothing more or less than growing
Bermuda onions, and for the quail
ty and lquantit.,' Of this product the
Lone Star state bids fair to soon ex-
eel the group of islands In the A.ian-
tic that these onions have made fam
Gus.
The state is now busly engaged in
harvesting the annual crop of -
muda onions, and this seasons out
put, which is expected to be on cars
bound for the north by June /. will
be about 37,500,00O pounds, or about
$500 car loads. Considering that
this produce sells for between two
and a half and three cents a pound,
the value Of this new industry to
hos engaged In 1T is apparent.
-Four years ago the ground now
used for growing onions, was consid-
cred useless and could be bought for
so cents or 81 an acre. Today it
brings from $50 to $500 an acre,
and is cheap at this price consider
ing that the profits Of onion growing
u from $3OC to $500 per acre a
season, the average yield Of an acre
per season is about 10000 jounds.
Tho element IN the soil Of Texas
give the onions a peculia flavor, and
they are said to excel even those
grown on the Bermuda islands.
The planting season is in October,
which is a delightful time of the
year along the Rio Grande border,
The season for irrigating and cult
waiting is during the winter months
when there is just enough GOODNESS In
the air to make working out Of doors
a pleasure. The harvesting time Is
In the spring when all nature is
abloom. BY June l the crop is out of
the way.
That leaves June. July, August
and September to the onion planter
in which to follow his own inclina-
tons as to pleasure or some other
business. Most Of the mon who have
made comfortable fortunes in rails
ing onions spend the vacation period
of four months at some Northern
resort, BY doing this they escape
the %enervating heat of this region in
summer.
The hcalthgiving properties Of the
onion are we'll known. The people
of Laredo eat onions as the apple
lover eats apples. Any day here
children can lie seen running around
with q big onion IN n hand and n
piece Of bread In the other. .ley
take first a BITE OF bread. The combi-
nation Z delicious. Laredo Is one Of
the ho.thiost towns in Texas and
