Wonder how Elmer Meredith will
make 1t in the Western Association this
season. Ten years ago Elmer helped
win the pennant for Jimmy Manning
when the latter ran the Kansas City
team in the old Western League. At
that time he was about the cleverest
southpaw in the minors. But he has
been going back ever since and has been
assigned to the down and out class with
frequency only to blossom out again
and win a few games. He did pretty
good work two years ago. He may win
a few for the Midgets but he will do it
with his head and not with his arm.

COURTING DEATH.
The Work of the Mounted Police of
Canada In the Northwest.

Odnadd IN the NortnWeSt.
The Northwest policeman's first duty
is to die if that should be necessary.
He is not allowed to shoot a desper-
ado, go up. sit on his carcass. roll a
cigarette and then read the warrant.
He must not shoot. At all events he
must not shoot first which is often
fatal, for If there is time when delay
is dangerous it is when you are cover
ing an outlaw, writes Cy Warman in
the Sunday Magazine.
Numbers of the force have been
known to ride or walk into the very
mouth of cooked As Colt and never
finch. In about ninety-eight cases out
of every hundred the man behind the
gun weakened. In the other two cases
he extended his lease Of life, but made
his going doubly sure. When a mount
ed policeman falls. the open space he
leaves is Immediately closed, for back
of him stands the Dominion govern
ment and back of that the British en-
pire. So the desperate who thinks he
can kill and get away has hard time.
If the police chase him out Of the Do
minion back to the islands, he is likely
to fetch up at Scotland Yard. If his
native village lies south of the forty
ninth, the Pinkertons take up his trail.
and when all these forces are after a
