"Ihis winter puts me in mind of the
blue snow in Wisconsin," said pioneer
to the Free Pressman the other day.
"The snow came suddenly, just as it
did last November. 1t fell gently and

with it until the whole earth was cover

a logging camp, then. 1t was large
camp, SO big chat pancake griddle was
half mile long, We used to tie side
OF bacon to each of the cookee's feet
and let him skate back and forth to
grease the griddle. The batter was
mixed in mortar mixer and sent us
frozen and baled. That was great
winter. The face of nature froze and
pealed off. The finger of time was
numbed with cold that it couldn't point
with pride. It froze toe nails off the
foot OF the hill, paralyzed the arms of
Morpheus. Timber split with frost that
winter. A teamster was sitting on
log drawing it to the river when it ex-
ploded with the cold, catching part Of
the sheepskin clothes as the crack of
the log closed up again. The log wa s
fortunately hollow and he had noticed
it that the pitch hardened as it ran
down the center of the tree, SO he lit a
match and tied it. to his whip cracker

and the poor man thawed himself loose
before he got to the landing place. How
fortunate that it was hollow log"

Mr.. Lawrence Evart.

This talented young actor made a
splendid impression on an simmense
audience at nthe Hyde Grand sopera
house, Tuesday evening, in his new
play, "We. Are King" The play is the

The Republican party again pre-

Its record Of faithful execution OF

Presumably this covers the murder
of Enoch Gilvers In the State hospital

M. Lewis Harding writes as follows
In the Farm Journal of Philadelphia:
The Guinea fowls originally came
from the coast of Guinea
They are naturally wild and VIII
hide their nests, SO 1t Is often difficult
to find them.
The eggs are speckled and not quite
SO large as a hens egg and are more
pointed at the little end.
The Guinea VIII lay about 1o0 eggs
In year, and after getting start IN
growth the young are very hardy
They are of a nervous disposition and
VIII send an outcry upon the appear
ance Of d strange cat. dog or man.
They are equally watchful for hawks
and have been known to fight deadly
battles with these birds
It is best to buy eggs and hatch the
young where their future home Is to
be. Fl hatched and raised by a hen
from the poultry yard, they will be
much more tame when allowed to run
with the Guinea hen.

first national association OF baseball
clubs was formed 1t was strictly an
amateur sport until 1868, when Mr..
Chadwick brought about the separa-
ton of baseball classes into amateur
and professional. The present Ma
tional and American leagues resulted,
with thousands of s;llaried players in
those leagues and the smaller ones.
1t is Il part of baseball history that
MI. Chadwick, who grew up in Brook
Ign, made up his mind in 1896. after
seeing IL game of baseball at Hoboken,
\. j., that the game must become the
great national sport. He tried to get
the city editors in New York inter
ested, but found little encouragement.
They would not print news about the
game. Finally the New York Times
agreed to run baseball matter prepared
by Chadwick. The city editors look
upon baseball quite differently now.
Mr. Chadwick from time to time
brought about desirable changes in the
rules of the game through suggestions
in his newspaper work and by appeal
ing to the conventions OF delegates
from the various clubs. His ambition
was to make it 4 clean sport. eliminat-
ing all objectionable features that crept
into the game. In this he has sue
ceeded We'll, baseball being by all
odds the cleanest sport in America.
Gambling, With poolroomi. booknak-

racing disreputable. Baseball has been
kept free from such conditions and
largely through Father Caadwick's eff
forts. An elder brother of Mr.. Chad
wick was Sir Henry Chadwick, the
famous sanitary commissioner of Lon
don. who once remarked:
While | have been tying to clean
l4ondon my brother has been keeping
up the family reputation by trying to
clean American sports
Mr.. Chadwick is now endeavoring to
improve the game by limiting the foul
strike rule. He holds that it is an
injustice to call strike; on batsman
because he hunts foul.
