SCULPTURE OF TIE INDIAN.
Only Three Specimens of Los Rock
Carving Have Been Found.

One o. the three known examples in
the United States of the famous In
dian sculpture" on two of the i'm
mense rocks which form The great
falls Of the Connecticut river at Bel
lows falls has been entirely obliterat-
ed, not a trace of the marking which
recorded some important event in the
history OF the abOrigines being left,
says the Boston Herald. The sculp-
ture was fayorite subject of discus
sion for antiquarians and developed
much controversy as to the manner
and time in which it was made When
first discovered it consisted of a group
of is or Is variously Ornamented
heads plainly cut into the rocks. The
main piece of work was shown on a
fiat space about Is feet wide and six
feet high and consisted of four heads.
each surmounted with a pair of rays
and numerous heads without any dec
Grafton. On the other rock was one
large head with at least eight rays.
this head being IA inches across at
the forehead. There may have been
originally also an inscription, but if
so it had become obliterated by the
action of. the water years ago. The
markings were supposed to have rep
resented a victory at or near Bellows
falls by four bands and their chiefs
under one principal chief The fact
that the action of the water has re-
moved what was discovered on the
rocks 100 years or so ago indicates
to not few that much more of the
record must have disappeared pre-
Viously.

MAIL ORDER FAKES.
Some of the Familiar Advertising
Tricks Shown Up.
BAIT FOR HOOKING SUCKERS.

Beware of the "Song Poems Wanted"
Don't Bite at the Bona Eide Business
Secret"-Steer Clear of the Prize For
Selling Goods.
The mail order magazine Is identi-
fed at once by the Initiated, but the
average reader does not know it under
this designation. Many little maya
zines. published at u very low sub
scriptiOn rate, have no other purpose
than to carry mail order advertise
ments. They are able to work UP an
enormous circulation because Of the
low rate for subscriptions. The circu
lation brings them large prices for ad-
vertising The mail order people, not
only the large houses which do a gen
eral business, but also the cheap skate
fake concerns and individuals, patron
ize the advertising columns. They set
enticing hooks for suckers. They catcE
many suckers. 1t behOOves the reader
of these publications to do little
thinking before biting. LII this cOnnec-
ton the following article from the New
York Herald is timely and helpful:
In these days of bunko and graft
man should look before he buys.
That he does not Is clearly shown by
the thousands of fakes which we hear
of and read of daily.
The clevernesS of the mail order man
is wonderful There is always way
to avoid the law. AS soon as one fake
is exposed and law made to cover it
fifty fakes suggested by that law
spring up.
For instance, it would take more
elastic clause than the famous one in
our constitution to cover this latest bit

School Gardens In Washington.


The school garden movement In
Washington. which started humbly
few years ago, has so strongly appeal
ed TO the children and their parents
that with a comparatively little assist
ance from the public funds it has
thrived amazingly. Already marked
change Is observable not only In the
immediate surroundings Of the school
buildings themselves, but in all parts
Of the town at the homes OF the little
ones. They have, been taught plant
love In terms which have In many
cases never been presented to them be-
fore. By their personal participation In
the work of making gardens. in prepar-
ing the ground, selecting and planting
the seeds, caring for the sprouts and
the plants and finally plucking the
blooms of their own cultivation they
have gained u sense Of responsibility
which makes for the improvement OF
the whole town.

keenly sensitive to newspaper criti-
cism the ordinary person was. and
quoted what he said was a letter re-
ceived by an editor in the United
States, as follows:
Dear Sir II regret to inform you that
on my way home from the saloon this
evening I fell into a political alteration
with Colonel Jonas p. Walker of this
town, in the course Of which a slight mis-
understanding arose. and I am very sorry
to think that in the end shot him.

This Year.

and Are Broke in Con-
sequence.

New Orleans, March 1.-THE cubs
term OF hard labor began yesterday
morning when they started in at their
routine practice grind which is sup
posed to put the players in shape with
in the next ten days. All hands hus-
tied at the pelicans' ball farm from 10
o'clock until 1 in the afternoon. They
finished up the work at the Young
Mems club with a salt water plunge.
The temperature was well above TO,
and the prep work is progressing most
successfully.
Manager Chance is going to mako a
wide departure from the usual train
ing plan He says the early work is
going to be rather light, compared to
the stunts of years gone by. His play
ers are so near weight now that he
won't permit of any enervating sweat
ing process. 'sHusk" himself is down
below $50, the lightest he has been in
ten years, and as the rest Of the men
are proportionately light he won't OBJ
1ect to their taking on a little beef If
they can do it without slowing up in
speed any.
In pursuance of the new training
plan, Chance excused his people from
work In the afternoon. Many of them
were out at the race track-two or
three We're out so much that they are
on the track of Secretary Williams to
make a quick touch.
Nothing has been heard lately by
Manager Chance from Killing, Overall,
Reulbach or Sheckard. The report that
Reulbach wanted his release came as
surprise to Chance and all the play
ers. None of them could imagine what
had upset big Ed" to the extent OF
asking for his emancipation papers.
If the tardy ones are not heard from
tomorrow some pointed questions viii
be sent to them over the wire.
A Mr. Raff1es.'' who> is taking
around this city as he did in Chicago
some months ago, offered to be
among those present" at the ball
park Wednesday when the next game
will be played with the pelieans. He
wanted 500 for lending distinction to
the game, but Manager Chance told
him the cubs didn't need that kind OF
drawing card.

In the Way of Sport
MEXICO CITY IS
BASEBALL CRAZY
Fans Turns Out in Droves
to Honor Worlds
Champions.

City Of Mexico, March 11.-This old
city is baseball crazy. The arrival OF
the worlds champion white sox has
awakened every fan, and not the least
of the developments is a challenge
made today by the Records" the
champion baseball team Of the re-
public, to a battle royal with the Com
iskeyites.
A game had been arranged for to-
morrow within the AlI-Mexicans, a team
made up Of the best talent in the local
city league, but now the Records
want to play against the sox tomor-
row. If the latter team goes against
the sox, Juarez, one of the best pitch
ers in all Mexico, will twirI. The
Mexicans are betting that Juarez will
defeat the sox, and there surely Will
be big doings at Reforma Park to-
morrow.
Gilbert, q second baseman, said to be
the best in the republic may be tried
by Comiskey, and If he makes good
the odd Roman" may sign him. The
local management had arranged for
games daily with the white sox and
two on Sunday, but Manager Jones
may object to playing too many con
tests.
President Diaz is expected to attend
the game next Sunday, and good
crowds are anticipated for all the ap-
pearances of the worlds champions
here. Some little argument has devel-
oped among the enthusiastic followers
of the Mexican teams as to that title
of worlds champions, the more hardy
venturing the statement that Comis-
keys men can't really claim title to the
supremacy of the universe until they
have trounced the diamond stars Of the
southern republic.

in regard to meeting between Carl
Anderson OF Hammond and Jack Nor
gan of Indianapolis. Frank Green,
Anderson's manager, has written Nor

Anderson is training hard every day

Jack Roe the LaPorte man, wants
another meeting with the local man
and this will probably be given him.
