Orioles Leader Denies That He
Tried to Beat Tigers Out
of Second Place.
BY SAM MURPHY.

TACK DUNN swears that he had
nothing to do with the "lay down
y of the Orioles at Providence In the
nnal four games of the season by
which Newark was beaten out of second
place. l met Jack Dunn at the Polo
Grounds yesterday and Jack was real
ly excited to think that any one would
charge him with throwing" games to
the Providence Club. Dunn, by the
way, was IN earnest, or at least he ap-
peared so. y

club play to the limit said the leader
of the Orioles, but 1 tell you candidly
tina they could not have beaten a lot

possible for me TO compel them to
play their game.
II realize that 1t placed me In HI
unfavorable light, but n player On

1 asked the boys to win at least one
game so that the public would not
think that we were throwing the games.

Will fash past the wire a winner ever

In the first place the Jersey boys
have the right spirit. That OF course
was evident some time ago when they
entered that great relay race from sea
Girt to Newark. And the more / think
over that race the moro I do realize
that 1t was not only a great under
taking. but the possible incentive was
to awaken athletics In Jersey, particu-
larly running, which is really the most
popular form of athletics.
From present Indications It would
seem as though the field Of starters In

my opinion, not have such such a large
field and II Il of fifty contestants
there is one athlete developed the race
for that one reason alone, If for no
other, will be a grand success.
At any rate, the young men who are
practising for this race are working
along the right lines. Though some of
them may not distinguish themselves
particularly, they will have at least
tried and will reap benefit to them
selves for the healthful runs they are
having daily.

I have before urged the necessity of

Of course, be advisable to try yourself

and knew it when too late. Only
those hopelessly out of the running
seemed to be really enjoying them
selves.
1t was expected that the judges
would not remain out long, but a half
hour went by, and they were still de-
batting in the little summer house to
which they had withdrawn. A feel
ing of ~uneasiness began to make itself
apparent. Bets were Cancelled, and re-
arranged again. No one seemed as
confident as at the opening of the
contest. At last the judges were seen
to rise, and then, two by two, they
came across the lawn, and took their
places on a 1o~wer-decked platform. A
sudden hush fell over the assembly.
The chairman waited until everyone
had come within hearing distance of
the stand before making his announce
ment, then, after reading the clause
in the will, he said:
"The difficulties in the way of a fair
decision can hardly be appreciated by
those not members of the committee.
In the making of it, in the judging and
weighing, we crave your clemency.
Having made it we are sure of your
enthusiastic support. The prize has
been awarded to Miss Mary Bennett"
There was a confused murmur.
Richard, more surprised than anyone,
turned to look at Mary. 1t was true!
It might be gone tomorrow, but to-
day her radiant joy made her the most
beautiful woman there. She seemed
all light and color and happiness, and
they had felt 1t and recorded it.
She would not believe it at first, and
wanted to hurry away, but they de-
tanned her and showered congratula-
tions on her until she was glowing
like a rose. Each moment enriched
her, adding weight to the decision.
"You were a dark horse said a
friend, at once puzzled and convinced.
Cupid was jockey" said Richard.

o on a few small fields lear the
farmstead in which the crops may be
conveniently pastured. A hog pasture
plowed up makes one of the most de-
sirable places to grow corn.
Such a piece Of corn land, if fenced,
could very easily and p%rotitably be fed
off with hogs. Corn land disked and
well prepared is an excellent place to
grow any kind of a grain crop, and
clover sown with the grain crop on
such soil has an excellent chance of
being in good condition for pasturing
the following year. Thus a productive
three-year rotation is naturally worked
out. See Fig. 1.

Women Fishermen.

On the coast of Holland, Belgium
and Northern France the fisherwomen
are a familiar sight, with their great
hand nets and quaint costumes. Many
of the towns have distinctive costumes
by which their women can be recog-
nized anywhere. Those of Mana-Kirke,
heal Ostend, wear trousers and loose
blouses, while their heads and shout
ders are covered by shawls. They
carry their nets into the sea and scoop
up vast quantities of shrimps and
grawns, with an occasional crab or
lobster and many small fish. They
often wade out till the water is up to
their necks, and they remain for hours
at a time in water above their knees,
rarely returning until their baskets
are full.

Then she turned a ~rapturous face
toward him.
How they reached the appointed
place she never knew. She walked on
air, surrounded by a ring of gold that
inclosed one other person. Her eyes
shone. A bright color came to her
cheeks. Richard, excited and tri-
umphant, looked at her adoringly,
seeing in her at once the woman of
his future and the playmate of his
childhood. They would show them
selves at the contest for a minute, just
to be public-spirited. Then they
would go for a heavenly ramble in the
woods.
The judges had decided to make
the award after mingling informally
with their towns-people, so there was
no set ceremony, nc drawing-up of the
contestants. People strolled about or
talked together in groups, as at a gar
den party. Here and there a girl was
seen whose heightened color betrayed
her consciousness of being under
scrutiny, for it was generally known
that the courteous judges, chatting
casually with their friends and &C.
quaintances, were all the while CLEAN
ing impressions which would be of
service in making the decision. The
occasion, on the whole, did not seem
favorable to the setting forth of femi-
nine charm. Even Bertha, by becom-
ing self-conscious, had lost something
of her usual grace. Katherine's pretty
bow of a mouth showed a disposition
to s%traighten, and Dora's ~infantile nose
failed to save the day for her. AS fol-
the young women whose charm de-
pended on pink ribbons, they had all
apparently chosen the wrong colors

The population of the Chinese en-

There has never been such census OF

But the estimate of the Almanach de

reliable. According to that estimate,
the population of the empire is, in

cred, a rotation may be laid out in

The following plans are offered as
suggestive of how several farms have
been replanned to allow for q rotation
for hogs. These plans are chosen to
show how the suggestions in this arti-
Gle may be applied to farm condi-
tons. They also show the value and
economy Of planning a farm for a
definite purpose. The amount Of
fencing required per acre to inclose
the hog lots on these different farms
varies from 16 to 20 rods.
