Basket Ball.

The unbeaten Washburn
team played at Bayfield, last
Friday evening. What was
the score? Of course you
know on which side of the
scorecard the largest figures
we're. The second team from
this city played the first half
and thus the honOrs are divid-
ed between the two. The
first team hardly thought it
worth while to enter the game
unless the second team was in
danger. However the final
score was 36 to 6. The girls
game was different and the
credit all belongs to the Bay
field team the score "a to 1.
The boys team will play

men into convenient snowbank.
The disgruntled fellows shook off the snow
and dragged the cutter back to the top OF the

1t was a record breaker, before it slid over
on the thin ice of the creek, and then
it became an ice breaker, for it went straight
through the ice and, worst of all, took the
boys with it.
For about ten minutes the scenes around
that broken ice were exciting, but in the end
the young men were hauled from what might
haveebeen watery graves, but the fine cutter
didn't come out, until the ice thawed in the
spring, and then it was a practical wreck.

A Fathers Kiss

A father was seeing his son on the cars
for some distant point. There was a mo-
ment of quiet conversation between the two
perhaps few words of such advice as a
father should give a son-and then the train
came laundering into the station.
As the latter, tall fellow well along in his
steens," stepped ON the platform, he ex-
tended his hand and his lips to his father.
There was gentle kiss Of farewell, and the
1.-TWO separated.
;, There was no gush, no nonsense, no affec-
tation; just the expression of fatherly ten
dcrness that had followed that son since he
May in the cradle.
y is there any danger of that boy straying
from the path affectionately pointed out by
}, his father? Or is there any danger OF that
cause he is "sowing wild oats?" We think
not.
The gentle power Of a, mothers kiss has
been sung by poets, but is there. not also q
wealth Of tenderness and lasting memory
for good in the kiss of father!

-7HARLIE SNYDER and Dan Gibson
were two boys who imagined them
selves little too old to ride down
the great Spruce street hill on HnSn
boys sled. In fact, even good sized doupie-
decker wasn't SO very much of an attraction
''Bobs" they termed the double-decker;

doubledeckers aren't anything but q couple
Of little sleds stuck together with board. -,
"And the steering gear isn't any goon,

get up something good, that's just baby play,
"Sure," remarked Dan. Say, Charlie, let
show them how to do things up il, style;
"All right" echoed Charlie, with enthus,
iasm. We'll get up whopper, one that VIII
scare the kids half to death, something worth
looking at. Gee, whizzl but we can get up

we will and then his enthusiasm vanished.
'Why, wen. Say, Dan, where are We going

Cant we borrow something somewhere!
we can," he said, as he pulled out his chest.

Wen get Will into the game, borrow the
sleigh for tonight, put on steering appara-
tus, and show those young boys and girls
how to 90 down West Spruce Street Hill.

the air to let off some of his enthusiasm.

"rhat sleigh will take us clear down the
street, across the trolley tracks and to the
bank of the river. Say, old man, we can
make record trip for Spruce street. Whew
let's go for VIII Elliott" And away they
went.
Late that afternoon sundry hints finally
became well founded rumors that the boys
were to make record trip" down the hill
on sleigh named THE Whopper."
Spruce Street Hill was the highest point in
the town and ran as a hill about half a
mile down a straight course A few hundred
feet from the bottom of the hill came an
intersecting street and few hundred feet
further was the little stream dignifed as a
river, although it was only large creek. This
creek was the pride of the skaters in The
neighborhood, but just at this time the ice
was too thin to permit skating
For many years, it had been the ambition
of all the sledders to go down the hill on a
sled with speed enough to cross the car
tracks, and reach the bank of the river,
but no one had ever succeeded in much more
than crossing the car tracks and stopping sew
eral hundred feet from the rivers bank.
Early in the evening, there was quite a
big crowd on the hill with small sleds going
down on the sides SO as to be out of the way
of the double-deckers. 1t was fine evening
for coasting.
In the midst of the laughing and merry talk,
sort of hush followed by mighty shout,
announced that something out of the ordinary

Family Too Large for the Pie
CONTINUED FROM PAGE -FOUR

And now once again they sat at the table
and discussed the courses one by one, from
soun to sherbet, till it was time for the pie.
After everything was cleared off the table,
there entered Norah and Gretchen staggering
under the weight of the delectable pie. 1t was
placed before Prince Pietooth, who. selected
the largest knife in the palace and plunged it
in. Bravely he ploughed across the crisp crust
and through the juicy centre. This way and
that he cut and slashed, and at last he essayed
to lift wedge out of the huge mass. But
alas so thick was the pie, so heavy even, the
smallest slice, that the piece would not hold
together. Try as he would, the Prince could
not extract the two crusts and retain any fruit
between them. AT last, in sheer despair, he
seized spoon and served out the pie in dis
orderly heaps upon the plates. =,
ii smelt like pie. it tasted like pie even,
but il did not look like pie The Prince turn
ed red with modification, Grandma Queen
buried her face in her napkin, Norah and
Gretchen stood silently wringing their hands,

and the twins cried with three walls IN one one

genius was put in practical form, and made
the steam engine an automatic working ma
chine.
The power loom is the invention Of q
farmers boy who had never been or heard of
such thing. He whitfield one out with his
jack-knife, and after he had got it all done,
he, with great enthusiasm, showed it to his
father, who at once kicked it to pieces, say
ing that he would have no boy about him
who would spend his time on such foolish
things.
The boy was sent to a blacksmith to learn
trade, and his master took lively interest
in him. He made loom of what was left
of the one his father had broken up and
showed it to his master.
The blacksmith saw he had no common lad
as an apprentice, and that the invention was
valuable one. He had loom constructed
under the supervision of the boy.
It worked to their perfect satisfaction, and
the blacksmith furnished the means to manu-
facture the looms and the boy received half
the profits. In about year, the blacksmith
wrote to the boys father that he should
bring with him wealthy gentleman, who
was the inventor of the celebrated power
loom.
You may be able to Judge of the astonish-
ment at the old home when his son was pre-
sented To him as the inventor, who told him
that the loom was the same as the model
that he had kicked to pieces but year be

a mans SO long as he behaves himself.
Some of the most important Inventions
have been the work of boys. The invention
of the valve motion to the steam engine was
made BY mere boy. Newcome,s engine
was in very incomplete condition from c the
fact that there was no way to open OF ciose
The valves excerA by means of levers operat-
Newcome set up large engine at one of
the mines, and boy, Humphrey Potter, was
hired to work these valve levers; although
this was not hard work, yet it required his
constant attention.
AS he was working the levers he. saw that
narts of the engine moved in the right direc-
ton and at the same time that he had 70

He procured a strong cord, and made one
end fast to the proper part, OF the engine and
the other end to the valye lever; ana nd then ne

 Memphis. Tenn, June 20.--The Com mercial-Appeai publishes the following:
 The Illinois Central, 1t Is learned, has decided not to exercise its July 1 op- tion on controlling interest in the Tennessee Central and on that date it will give up the operation of this line over which the Illinois Central reaches Nashville. The Southern Railroad, which along with the Illinois Central, has an interest in the option, will not exercise it's right as was made known some time ago. so that on July 1 con- trol of the Tennessee Central will re- vert to the former owners, chiefly St. Louis people. This means the aban- donment by the Illinois Central of a line under its own control into Nash vile. It is stated that the line to Nashville had been operated at a loss.
 The Tennessee Central runs from the Kentucky line to Nashville. and thence by way of Lebanon and Cookeville through the Cumberland Mountains to Hartman.

In New York's Fashion Glass

New York. June 20.-(Speciai.)- This season is marked by it's brilliant colors and It's sharp contrasts. It is no longer considered smart for every thing in q toilette to match in color; instead, there may be hat of new rose with a tailored suit of marine blue. Even the white costumes show a touch of color somewhere in their trirnmings--in the embroidery, the sash or scarf or in the collar. White serge and mohair made in two-piece suits have a velvet collar of black or some brilliant color. These suits are very fashionable for summer wear. Many frocks of St. Gall embroidered swiss are worn over Things of very delicate colsrs. with . sash of pompa- dour ribbon as a finishing touch. Two or more colors are often introduce e In the linen frocks, 1t usually being on the collar and cuffs. The tailored shirt waists of linen are extremely smart with the collar, cuffs and front box piait edged with a plain color of blue, pink or lavender. Some of them have these parts made entirely of lavender and white narrow stripe and a half inch border of plain lavender. The necktie or jabot match also.
 The sheath skirt Is causing much comment and criticism at the present day and yet there is a chance for some good words to be spoken about 1t Each new style originating in Paris gets to a stage of exaggeration sooner or later. and then very soon 1t is too generally worn to be really fashion able. The craze for the straight. slim figure was the reason the modists fash- toned this sheath skirt because the hipless paquin model was not extreme enough. The long draperies. copied from the ancient Greek and Oriental ones were soon brought Into use and were swathed about the figure in clas- sic lines, but it is really hoped that they will not be seen so generally in this country as they have been in Paris. However, many of the theatre gowns worn by the French women are the sheathllke clinging robes which it the figure like a glove and seem to be rolled, rather than fitted around the figure. These gowns are draped so that the left foot and ankle Is quite uncovered, sometimes six inches up, nearly up to the knee. but the American woman will be best satisfied If this fashion ends with the showing of the pretty foot and ankle. The sheath skirt is very graceful and easy when it's lines are not exaggerated. Draperies are always. attractive and they are un- questionably the fashion of the day. OHly LuS A4Ost pApeAb 0EGhsulhkST6 AES capable of making a success with these creations, and there are comparatively few women who win find them becom- ing. and so with these difficulties to overcome. it is not probable that the style will become universally worn.
 There are many different arrange ments of girdles on the new gowns of the season. We often see a girdle of an entirely different color from the gown, such as old gold satin on blue. pink or ecru. At soft dove-gray is much liked because 1t gives t1e girdle q distinction all it's own. A charming effect is found in using wide pompa-
