It is pleasant thing to believe, ss is freely claimed, that the temper ance movement is gaining strength each year because everyone realizes that it should do so. On the other hand these cold-blooded statistics that show that the consumption of whisky is increasing can't help but be puzzling to most of us.
The Mena weekly star., 1907-09-19

For the past two years the report has been industriously circulated that the reason the price of copper had been raised to point that menaced all industries where it's use was necessary was because the output was not equal to the de- mand. Now comes the Amalga- mated Copper Company with an order to discharge thousands of men and reduce the output more than half. That should explain pretty definitely the standing of the Amal- galnated Copper Company as a trust.

If poll were taken of the voters of this section it IS probable that 9 out of 10 would favor the establish ment of both parcels post and system of postal savings banks. For all that little coterie continually working against the interests of the people has been able to defeat this great majority. And this will con- tinue until the lawmakers are taught by hard lessons to represent the people instead of the express companies and money lenders.

Pi YUk LANG.
The Story Of q Long Ago Baseball
Game at Phillips Academy.

Game at Phillips Academy.
His full name was Pi Yuk Liang, but
he was always called "Pi Yuk." He
went to school rs years ago at Phillips
academy, at Andover, in Massachusetts,.
He was born In China and had been
sent to the United States, together
with a number of other Chinese boys.
by the Chinese government to be edu-
Gated. While he was learning Ameri-
can manners, customs, and habits, and
our ways Of doing things, Pi Yuk also
learned baseball. He was not like most
Chinese boys, because he was not short.
but tall and shapely. Nearly six feet
he stood, and he played quite as well
as he recited in Greek or In Latin.
Now, you must know that at Exeter.
N. H., few miles from Andoyer, there
is also a Phillips academy, and every
year, as sure as June comes with its
rare days, so surely do Exeter" and
"Andover" play baseball together
Moreover. the boys of both schools
would give an arm apiece any time
almost-rather than see their nine de-
feated. ri Yuk played on the Andover
team, in the outfield. in May and June
OF 1881. Incidentally. he was change
pitcher" IL Is very, very sad. but this
Is to be truthful story, and IL must
therefore be recorded that in the great
Andoyer-Exeter baseball game Of that
year. ri Yuk could not bat. II must
be set down here that he struck out.
He did not know what the matter was.
he only knew that he simply could
not hit the ball on that special after
noon.
The Exeter boys were not very nice
to him, witbal. When he hit the air
unusually hard, they talked 'pldgin
English to him freely, and every time
he failed to hit they would laugh quite
openly and loudly. They remarked
that he was "velly poor ball player. I"
and finally one OF them intimated quite
broadly that ri Yuk had better go
back to China" That happened the last
time upon which he came to the bat
In that game. As he stepped up to the
home plate, hat In hand, he may have
heard the advice about going back to
China. He did not say anything, but
those who were nearest to him saw
that his eyes were swapping. The very
next ball that was pitched to him he
met fairly with all the strength and
power and weight OF his six feet OF
muscle and Drawn He hit so hard
that he brought in some runs ahead OF
him, and landed safely on third base
himself. After he had gathered him
self together and busted on his uni
form. he quietly remarked that he be-

lieved that he would not return 10
China just yet; and the Exeter boys
did not reply to him, probably because
no response exactly suited to the oc-
casion suggested itself. so IL came
about that Andover and Pi Yuk won
that game.
Just % years later. on Tuesday.
June rs. 1906. Yale and Harvard played
baseball together. even as Exeter and
Andover had done I'm 1881, and in a
front seat In the grand stand at the
Yale field on that royal June afternoon

Lang Cheng, his imperial Chinese ma
jesty's envoy extraordinary and. minis.

ington had come to pay Yale a yisi,

herself by bestowing upon him the de-
gree of IL. D.-Edward J. Phelps in St

was given by Arthur B. Hammond, pro-

the ball was really a society show. Some
800 attended and were seen mostly at re-
freshment tables on the lawn beneath long
strings of colored e~lectrics which hung
from the Curlew's twin towers, seventy
five feet above, and gave a pretty May
pole effect. There were two orchestras,
one for the ballroom crowd and one for
that outside. American beauty roses,
with smilax, were used for decorations,
the roses surrounding all the posts on the
piazza to the height Of a mans head and
decorating the ballroom even more pro-
fusely.
