GERMANY TURNS TO SPORT.
All Kinds of Out-Door Exercises Are
 Becoming Popular.

Boating and rowing contests on stantly growing form of amusement says writer in The Circle Iceboat racing and travel are becoming more popular every year; the large rivers flowing into the Baltic sea offer ex- ceptionally good facilities for this kind of sport. Ski travel has been intro duced only recently, but it has re- ceived an enthusiastic welcome at the hands of the sportsmen who live in the mountains of Hartz and Thuringia. Tournaments are held in these noun tains every winter, at which German devotees of this sport show great skill in speed and endurance contests.
 While there are not so many auto- mobiles in all Germany as there are in New York city and it's vicinity, there are in that country 2S automo- bile clubs, with a membership of 4,125. The popularity of the bicycle shows no signs of decadence.
 How popular are swimming and fishing may be judged from the fact that there are PIP swimming clubs with membership of 26,459, and 32 fishing clubs with a membership of 1,718. Twelve balloons are owned by nine aeronautical societies. Among the sports mentioned especially popu- lar are the following: Hockey, crick- ct, football and lawn tennis.

Canned Shark.

They can shark in Sweden" said butcher They make of sharks flesh a very palatable and nourishing meat extract.
 For several years the business has been going on, and there are now sev- eral factories engaged in it. The stuff tastes exactly like extract of beef. The fish taste is eliminated-a secret process.
 The sharks, which are plentiful in those waters, are first chopped up fine In big hoppers and afterward boiled down to liquid of the consistency of thin gruel. The oil is skinned off. a second boiling follows, then a filter- ing. clear fluid then remains. This is evaporated to the thickness of molasses, seasoned with salt and sugar and sealed up in jars, after. the addition of some unknown chemical.
 Tt Is an excellent meat extract. It hasn't a suspicion of fishiness about it. It builds up a consumptive or anaemic person as we'll as the best beef would do.'

S35,OOO FIRE IN FL DORADO.
Arkansas Wholesale Grocery Company Build-
 ing is Entirely Destroyed.

While the owners and employees of the Arkansas Wholesale Gro- cery Company, one of the leading concerns of Fl Dorado, were gath cred in the front office of the build ing at $50 o'clock Tuesday after noon, unmindful of the danger ano disaster threatening them, flames were enveloping the rear of the house and it's doom was sealed be- fore brakeman on a passing train discovered the fire and gave the alarm.
 The house and contents were totally destroyed. The loss is about $55. .OOO, but it is believed that the insurance will practically cover the loss.
 A brakeman saw the blazing building. jumped from the car of an Iron Mountain train and alarmed the town. It was too late. how ever, to save the building, the blaze then ha ving spread over the entire rear portion of the building
 The high piles of boxed and crated groceries probably shut off any view of the flames in the rear of the store. As there were no persons in the rear of the building. the passing of the train at the time was fortunate and probably saved from peril the lives of the oc- cupants of the wholesale house.
 The origin of the fire is unknown and very few goods were saved.

Not Until Next Year.

Since the last issue of The News it is learned that State Super'tend- ent of Public Instruction J.. J. Doyne has rendered an opinion in the matter of electing county su- perintendent. which is self explana- tory and the question will be settled by the voters in May 1909, in- stead of at the coming school elect ion this year. His opinion is as follows:
 T have your favor of recent date. in which you ask whether or not the question of county super vision should be submitted to the electors in the annual school meet ing this year. In reply, 1 quote from the law recently passed by the legislature on this subject:
 Before any county shall be authorized to elect county superintendent. the question shall be submitted to the qualified elect ors at the annual school meeting held on the third Saturday in May in the years preceding those in which general state and county elections are held.
 It seems to me clear therefore that. whatever the intention of the authors of the bill were. it's word ing is unmistakable, and that no vote can be taken on the question this year, as it is the year of the general election and not the year preceding. have discussed this matter with the attorney general ard he entertains the same view"

Fence Posts Made Durable.

Fence posts of many kinds of cheap woods which ordinarily would decay if set in the ground can be made to last for twenty years by simple treatment with creosote. Most of the so-called inferior woods are well adapted to the treatment. and this is espec- ially true of cottonwood, aspen, willow, sycamore. low-grade pines. and some of the gums. When properly treated, these woods out last untreated cedar and oak, which are becoming too scarce and too much in demand for other uses to allow of their meeting the de- mand for fence posts.

The Cuban Masses.

The Cuban masses who have at last
united upon a presidential ticket have
never had a chance to give independ.
ence a real test upon the island. Call.
ing themselves. Liberals" they have
stood out for the widest distribution
Of benefits. whether these benefits took
the shape Of offices or Of money voted
for the soldiers who fought the revolu-
ton. In local matters the Liberals
have usually divided their forces and
been beaten by the better organized
Conservatives.
The Cubans who adhere to the Lib
eral cause now are those who stirred
up trouble for the late Palma admins
tration and led to interference by the
United States. Many Observers Of Gu
ban affairs assert that the name Lib
eral really covers oil those on the
outside" in politics and that there Is
sure to be revolution whichever ele-
ment is in power. The Conservative
party includes the business men, and It
differs from the party Of the people
In one important particular. It pre-
fers the continuance Of United States
control to the unchecked rule Of the
Cuban masses.

The Art of Looking Pleasant.

The Art Of Looking Pleasant.
A school recently opened in New
York for the training Of department
store clerks will lay stress upon the
art Of looking pleasant and even smil-
ing when a customer approaches the
counter. This disposition, or faculty,
as it may be. Of greeting life every
where with a smile, is the best equip
ment the beginner can have In any
field of work. In bustling age,
wanting everything done quickly, we
may have lost sight of the art Of show
ing that the doing and the finishing
give happiness. To take it all for
granted makes life dull plodding, and
the art Of looking pleasant is worthy
Of an endowed chair in schools of prac-
tical culture.
Success may be.won by smiles. But
If there is nothing much to gain 1t is
better to face every turn Of fortune
with cheeriness. In the age Of
chivalry the knight met death with a
smile. It was part Of his knightly
training. With smiles on the journey
through life will go a dozen little our
tesies too often neglected. Rudeness
and lack Of feeling are seldom meant,
and the best way to show ones real
sentiments is through little touches Of
courtesy-frst the pleasant smile and
then the thoughtful act which sends
the smile home.

The Young Golf Champion.

The holder Of the amateur golf
championship Of the United States
commands the admiration Of hundreds
Of thousands Of his fellow, citizens.
who do not worship from afar, but
know by personal experience just
what his superiority on the links
means. Golf admits Of no winning by
sheer luck or chance spurts. It's devo-
tees are such because Of the exacting
nature Of the game and do not dissim-
ulate when they applaud the maker Of
a record. Just at present the majori-
ty Of the rapidly growing army Of golf
players in this country are trying a
nestly to play the game and not to put
up fancy scores. Interest in the work
Of a champion is genuine because it
furnishes incentive and instruction to
those who frankly confess that they
yet have much to learn.
There Is no playing to the galleries
for a star performer on the golf links.
The great charm Of the game for those
attracted to it lies in the rational.
health giving exercise involved, nus
Gle tension going uphill, muscle ten
sion going downhill, muscle tension
in the stroke to send the ball as far as
it will go and muscle control in send
ing the ball far enough, but not too
far. If, as tits said. playing baseball
and football makes good men for SOL
diers, playing golf should make good
generals. It requires brains. patience
and a rare combination of skill with
power rightly applied to play well
enough to understand 1t and to like it
for a recreation. The winning of the
prize from the pick of the nations
players assembled ut the Garden City
tournament stamps the winner, Je-
rome D. Travers, as the elite Of the
elite in one form of Individual and I'M
aided physical achievement. Although
called a "youngster," Travers is almost
a veteran at the game, for he has
played it ten years. He Is now about
twenty-five and owes his mastery to
that patient toll which is generally
irksome to youth. His advice to be-
ginners is not to waste energy and
patience on the very difficult problems
Of the links. but first perfect your
selves in the simple work; then things
that were impossible before may per-
haps be conquered" In other words,
carry the outposts one by one before
storming the citadel. a good motto for
everyday use everywhere.

The Hand of the vandal In London.

The Hand of the Vandal In London.
It is said that when the structure
immortalized by Dickens as ,"Fulwood
Rents" which is about to be replaced
by an Office building. disappears there
will be practically no landmark left
Of Dickens London to interest the Wis
itor. American tourists have long
found the places described by Dickens
among the chief things of interest in
strolls through the older parts Of the
great city. Dickens often took his
characters from real life, and he some
times put real places in his books.
"Fulwood's Rents" was a cheap
lodging house in the neighborhood Of
Dickens own home when he wrote
"Oliver Twist" There in his wander
ings he located Fagin, the master Of
the thieves kitchen. Another neigh
borhood carefully described in little
Dorrit" is that around the Marshalsea
prison. In this region SO many altera-
lions have been made that, it's said,
the site Of the prison itself cannot now
be told to a certainty. Many of Dick
ems characters are believed to have
been drawn from personages he had
seen and perhaps known in London.
While they have long. ceased to exist.
the types which they represented re-
main and, even in the absence of old
landmarks. still lend interest to the
metamorphosed streets which were
once the haunts Of Dickens pictur-
esque people.

Homine tho ExiIes Of ERIN.

Appeals are being made to the count
less wanderers from the Emerald Isle
to return home and make the waste
places Of the fatherland glad again.
The suggestion carries a strong appeal
to sentiment. The Irish are inclined,
to revisit the ''ould sod occasionally
and a very few return there to pass
their old age. But it Is argued that
the skill and resources which the Irish
have acquired in foreign lands should
rally to start a prosperity boom at
home. Americans at least would not
begrudge any prosperity resulting to
Ireland from the Investment of money
made in this country.
For every Irishman who may return
and invest his money and skill in home
enterprises this country would get at.
least two fresh immigrants in return.
It is the sight Of American money
abroad, heralding as 1t does this land
Of unequaled opportunity, which keeps
the steerage Of ocean steamers full.
However. 1t is a question whether the
Irish who come here now or who have
come in the past are the kind which
Ireland needs at this stage. The fact
that New York, Boston. Philadelphia
and Chicago have more Irish inhab-
itants than any four cities in Ireland
would indicate that our citizens Of
Irish lineage take to city activities.
These people have developed no large
territories like the Germans and the
Scandinavians. AS proprietors they do
not take to agriculture and other forms
Of enterprise that are the backbone
Of prosperity. Like the Jews. the Irish
seem to prosper best in contact with
other races. Their nature needs a foil
to work upon. The idea Of stopping
Irish immigration to this country is a
vain dream. and the effort to start q
tide the other way would doubtless
end in disappointment for the individ-
uals involved as well as to Ireland.
