Cheerful Carlos Smith.

He has acquired the services of Gene Ford, a pitcher, and Larsen, a third sacker, both of whom are reputed to be valuable men. In addition, Carlos Smith the elongated Mississippian, known throughout the baseball world as Horse shoe~ Smith, will arrive in Birmingham this morning, and if he feels in condi- ton. will get in the battle this after noon. Carlos would look unfamiliar in any position other than rightf1eld, and Manager Molesworth does not intend that Smith should appear in disguise. Therefore the old stamping ground will again feel the imprint of Smiths shoes, and will probably rejoice over that fact. Smith. no doubt, even though the Barons are lower in the race than ever before, will be happy to cavort once more upon the green patch at West End, and the fans of the city will welcome his com ing and his cheerful smile with deal Of enthusiasm.

Holmes Is Released.

The coming of Smith will cause the switching of Raub from righttield so his natural position behind the stick. This change will ultimately result in the release of Catcher Holmes. a valuable young player. who will do good service with any team with which he becomes connected
 In this condition the Barons will enter the game thls afternoon. All of the western clubs are coming, and while Manager Molesworth does not hope to hand them a deal as rough as he him. self received. he does intend to win a healthy majority of the scrimmages.
 Young Robinson, although still badly handicapped by his injured foot, will work this afternoon for the Barons, un- less some change is ordered this morn- ing. and he expects to give good ae- count of himself Forrey will probably twirl for the Sea Gulls, and while Big Liz has been mighty strong against the Barons this season it cannot be expected that he will win them all.

Massachusetts, Auto Laws.

At the annual meeting Of the Massa-
chusetts state grange to be held at
Pittsfeld in December the automobile
laws of the state will be up for discus
sion. Senator Morse of Belchertown, a
member Of the grange. believes that
there Is great deal of misunderstand-
ing between those who ride in autos
and the farmers, and he proposes that
the grange appoint committee OF ten
or twelve to confer with like COM
mittee from the State Automobile as
sociation and see IL some form Of law
satisfactory to both can be drawn up,
and II this can be done petition will
be presented to the Massachusetts leg
islature In January asking for legisla-
tlon. Senator Morse thinks there
should be no difficulty in getting a law
enacted that will be satisfactory to
both If the parties can unite In their
views as to what should be done.

GRANGE NATIONAL BANKS.
Orange National Bankers Association
Of America Recently Organized.

~'~"0S NSHoHS' oankerS ASSOCIATION
of America Recently Organized.
On Oct. II convention was held at
Williamsport, Pa, which fs the first
OF its kind and deserves more than
casual attention. 1t was the meeting
for the organization of what has been
styled as the Grange National Bank
ers' Association of America. Its OBJ
ject is to extend the system Of grange
national banks which has been SO sue
cessfnl in Pennsylvania to other states
In the Union where the grange is or
ganiZed. There are now fourteen
grange banks in Pennsylvania, and
they sent seventy-five representatives
to the WillIamsport meeting. John C.
McHenry Of Benton was elected presi.
dent Of the association and e. X. Dor
sett of Mansfield was elected secretary.
Mr. McHenry said that thus far they
have in fourteen banks a total number
OF 2, 100 stockholders, 165 directors and
officers. with $S62,OOO Of money in.
vested, and in every instance the hold
ing control of these organiza tions lies
entirely with grange Patrons. He also
remarked that the movement is not
antagonistlc to other banking institu-
tons, and that this is true is shown
from the fact that while the deposits
have exceeded their expectations yet
the older banks have likewise met with
a continuous growth in deposits. This
may seem strange. but IL seems to indi-
cate, says the Financial Age. that the
farming community had been averse to
depositing money In banks and has
been boarding 1t In different places.
II the grange bank movement succeeds
In coaxing these funds from their hid
Ing places a benefit national in its
character will be accomplished.

AWARDED A WATCH
THE PURCHASE OF ALASKA
TRIA ULLREY.
Modesto. Eighth Grade. Age IS
Years

Alaska was discovered by the Rus
SLAMS under Bering in the year 1741.
The United States purchased this cold
region in 1867 for s7.200.000, It was
thought to be a very foolish act by
the American people. Alaska extends
from north to south the distance of
more than 1900 miles and contains
about $50 900 square miles Part of II
is in the Arctic zone, therefore 1t is
very cold.
The Yukon river is the largest stream
in Alaska. It is about 1000 miles long.
The Klondyke is also a noted river.
Sitka is the capital of Alaska There
is a large naval storing house in Sitka.
which at that time was called "Sitka
of New Ark Angel"
The Mount Elias mountains are very
high. ranging from 1.400 to 10000 feet.
There are many volcanoes and glaciers.
Soon after the purchase the people
began the great fur trade, which still
exists. Many seals are caught at the
Pribilof islands. The fur trade in 1880
was worth $2,096,500 and has increased
greatly.
Gold mining is another important in
dustry- The famous Kiondyke region,
and also the Yukon valley. are great
mining fields. In 1898 there was great
rush to the Klondyke and Yukon

One fine day, about a hundred years
ago, a ship was sailing slowly along
the coast of Virginia. Upon the deck
stood two men, one of whom was gaz-
ing with loving eyes on the fast near
ing shores of his native land. He had
been long absent, and was eager to
meet his dear wife and children. AS he
turned to speak to his companion he
noticed the sails of another vessel
coming behind them. She carries
British colors" he said, after a mo-
ment. land seems TO be gaining on us"
Yes" replied the other. I've been
watching her some minutes. [ think
she is chasing us.
BY this time there was commotion
on deck and the captain of the CheSa-
peake, for such was the name of the
American boat, was giving orders to
hoist all sail. The other ship, an Eng
lish frigate named Leopard, had come
near and made signals that they were
going to search for deserters. The
American captain refused to allow this,
and then the English fired several
times, killing and wounding many on
board.
Seeing they were outnumbered. the
Chesapeake surrendered, and the Brit
ish came on board. Four men were
captured, among them the man who
had been so eagerly waiting TO land
and meet his dear ones.
''I am an American, you have no
right" he began, but with many an
oath they cuffed and forced him over
into the British ship, claiming that he
and the other three were deserters.
Although it is a sad fact that he
was hanged as a deserter, it is good
to know that few years afterward
England had to haul down her flag
to America IL times out of 15 battles.

BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL
EDWARD sI'GLADE
san Francisco. Eighth Grade, 81
Peters Boys school

1t was on the 1Tth of June. 1775,
that this now famous battle took place.
The British army had been increased to
10000 men. and was composed of vet
Grams. while, on the other hand. the
American army. though larger, was
composed of raw recruits. Their Off
GERS, however were men who had seen
service. Artemas Ward of Massaehu-
setts held chief command.
On the 10th of June 1t was ascer-
tained that the British were going to
seize Bunker hill and fortify it. Colonel
Prescott was dispatched from Cam
bridge to anticipate this movement. He
marched at night and in the darkness
mistook Breeds hill for Bunker hill
and fortified the former. The men
worked all night. and frequently could
be heard the British sentries' ANS
morning the British were surprised to
see breastworks six feet high overlook
ing them. A council of war was held
and il was decided to attack the Amer
leans Immediately. General Howe at
began to storm the position. The
Americans We're ordered to reserve
their fire until the whites of the
enemy's eyes could be seen. 1t was
difficult to keep the colonists from fir
ing, but at last the order was given
and the front part of the British coll
umn was swept away. They recolled
and rallied for a second assault. Again
they came forward and were allowed
to come to within 10 rods of the wall,
burst out After rallying again they
rushed up the hill and the Americans.
after having fired their last round or
ammunition. met them with stones and
dubbed muskets. 1t was of no use and
they were compelled to retreat.
Though the Americans had decided
advantage, the English remaining mas
ters of the field, claimed the victory.

BATTLE OF BUNKER HILL
ETHEL NJ. HENRY,
King City. Age 10 Years

On the 10th of June. 1777. detach-
ment of the American soldiers, outside
of Boston, was commanded to go over
to Charlestown and fortify Bunker hill.
Under cover of darkness, the Amer
leans crept stealthily up Breed hill
which was nearer Boston. and threw
up the earth in such way as to form
trenches and forts.
On the following morning the Brit
ish looked across the water and were
greatly surprised to see the breast
works the Americans had thrown up.
General Howe, the British leader com.
manded his troops 10 march up the
hill. which they did. firing at every
step.
Boys" said Colonel Prescott. the
American leader. I'VE have no powder
to waste; aim low; and don't fire until
you can see the whites of their eyes.
The British, receiving no shots,
thought they could walk right over
the entrenchments and. capture the
Americans. When the British were
nearly up the hill, the Americans fired
and the British soldiers fell, moved
down like grain before scythe.
Again the British marched up the hill.
and again they were driven back The
third time the British marched up the
hill. the Americans We're forced to re-
treat because of lack of ammunition.
This was the first regular battle of
the revolution, and though the Amer
leans were defeated. it brought many
good results and was almost equal
to a victory.
