BY the hardest kind of luck the Subway
team missed breaking the high score rec
ord of the tournament. For a starter the
team totaled S77, thanks to 222 score by
Voorhees,. In the next game the Brooklyn
five went up to 973, Voorhees, again lead
ing with 223. When the bowlers went into
the last frame of the third game it looked
as If record total was within their grasp.
Three splits in this frame turned the tide,
but even then had Voorhees, pinned well on
his ball the team could still have won. AS
it was, he only got five. He made his spare
and finished with nine on his last ball. 1t
was then found that the Subway team had
a total OF 2S12, or two pins short of the
high mark made by the Corinthian team
earlier in the week.

scarce, and they are neither sllillful
nor powerful enough to tackle a
deer, then they fall back on the
skill and generosity of their elders
Sometimes they find their own
mother; more often-for Pequam,
like Mooweesuk the coon, has a
streak of gentleness in him for his
own kind-they take up theStrail of
the first big fisher they cross. and
follow it for days to pick The bones
and to eat up anything he mar have
left of his kill after his own Hunger
is satisfied.
More interesting than these tag
ging trails of the young fishers are
those of the foxes that follow Pc
guam. Foxes are always hungry,
and in the spring, when they are
ravenous and Pequam takes to kill
ing deer on the crust, two or three
of them will hang to the trail of a
big fisher and live for weeks on the
proceeds of his hunting. Pequam
rarely covers or hides his kill; but
If it be a small one, and the terri
tory be not disturbed by men, he

in the nearest log, and will rush
out from his hiding to drive away
the providers that would not leave
single bone by morning.
Occasionally in the snow you may
read the story of his watch and
guard, and then a curious thing
sometimes comes out. Scarcely has
he eaten his full and yawned sleep
lily when some prowler comes upon
his trail to share the feast. If it be
another fisher, Pequam stands aside
when he is satisfied and makes no
objection; for the hungry beggar is
a young animal. not yet big enough
to kill for itself. The older animals
are solitary, each hunting over
wide territory and rarely, except n
famine, crossing over to the hunting
grounds of any other fisher; but the
young have not yet found their own
places, and follow freely where they
will. Pequam, If one may believe
his tracks, recognizes this and gives
his crumbs ungrudgingly to his hun
cry kinsmen.

Years ago, when Joaquin Miller,

rude little log house and spent
month after month tramping the
mountains of Idaho in q search for
gold, he little dreamed that the
treasure he sought was almost di-
rectly beneath his own cabin.

utilize the waiting period by paying a visit to the old country and the folks at home. Many of them will return when times are normal, bringing sey- eral of their neighbors perhaps with them.
 In 1893 the steerage departures in- creased to such an extent that they very nearly balanced steerage arrivals, and if the times should become in- creasingly hard the steerage depart. ures may this winter exceed all pre- yious. records, simply because immi- grafton has in each of the past three years crossed the million line. There are therefore more new arrivals to be thrown out of employment and more to get homesick when they recall their old homes. Steerage arrivals and steerage departures accordingly bid fair to be balanced during the coming year. This, at any rate, settles many immigration problems for the time being, and those problems can perhaps be put in the way of solution before immigration again promises to rise to a million year.

Another Southern State

It Is long jump from Texas ad mission in 1S45 to Oklahoma's in 1907 but it is necessary to bridge this gap in order to go from the admission of one cotton-growing state to that of another. West Virginia became a state in 1863, but no cotton is grown there, and it is not in spirit or in fact a southern state.
 The bald fact is only one southern state has been admitted since 1S45, while these northern states have come into the union-Iowa, Wisconsin, Cal ifornia, Minnesota. Oregon, Kansas, Nevada, Nebraska, Colorado, North Dakota. South Dakota, Montana Washington, Idaho, Wyoming and Utah, 1G, besides West Virginia, which was cut off Virginia as war meas ure in the second year of the great civil strife. Sixteen to one! That tells the story of the rapid growth of northern electoral votes and northern strength in general.
 The expansion of the south was stayed in the year 1S45, and the bat. tie which handed Kansas over to the north was really turning point in the
