gives the ball the appearance 1t has

be sent crashing down the alley.
Sometimes there is considerable
waste in cutting up the logs because OF
cracks and assures in the wood. On
this account an ordinary sized log may
yield only one block sound enough to
nut on the turning lathe, while 1t ought
to make six or seven. The life OF the
average bowling ball is about two
years. The best balls cost So or 30
while the cheapest scale down near the
dollar mark.

The Reason Camp Meeting John Allen
Got a Maine Central Pass.

The Reason Camp Meeting John Allen
Got Maine Central Pass.
Camp Meeting John Allen was one
of the most picturesque characters OF
his time in Maine. Apropos OF railroad
passes a very interesting story Is told.
It occurred when Governor Morrill,
was president of the Maine Central.
Aliens applications were refused
number of times, because If there was
one thing above all others which Nor
rill disliked 1t was to Issue passes. The
governor came down to his Office In
somewhat brusque frame of mind that
day. Those familiar with the storm
signals quietly backed off and waited
for an explosion. 1t came. One of the
first letters opened was from Camp
Meeting John Allen requesting pass
for "self and Wife" The secretary
approached his chief with some hesita-
ton.
"Here is another letter from Mr.. Al
len asking for pass" he said and laid
the missive gingerly on the governors
desk.
The governor read 1t through and
blazed away for few minutes; then,
tossing the letter to the astonished
secretary, he said. MAKE it out"
The young man retired and began to
fill in the various blank lines, but when
he came on what account" the pass
was issued he was puzzled and ven
tured to seek information.
ION what account, GOVERNOR he
asked.
The chief looked irately over his
spectacles.
Account. account? Account of -
persistence. Be sure to put 1t in. too
and he growled as the young man
passed out, "These Methodist parsons

road to heaven. and | want Maine

FLIGHT 0F THE
 BALL PLAYERS

Base ball players are taking flight from Skagway by every train and boat. The great game has fallen upon hard times for the balance Of the season, it would seem. Jimmy Fryar left Thursday on the Dolphin for Se- attle and Spokane, where he is to play the balance of the season in what is known as the Trolley League.
 Joe McName took the train over the hill yesterday bound for Dawson and Fairbanks and with him King, the "wolloper." This morning Mcclair followed in the same way. McCIaire was awaiting here the receipt of tel egram from his brother at Fairbanks. 10 seems there Is some little misunder' standirg as to the movements of a Fair banks team which engaged these three. It was understood Q few days ago that the team was coming out and the boys were to join them here and { % with them toracampaign below.
 Later adyices, however, were to the eTec, that they may not do this and it Is for ths final conclusion whether they are to go all the way in or not, that McClair remained.
 He now expects to meet the team at Dawson.
