Two rival baseball teams composed

terday afternoon at Glen Miller park
After two fiercely contested innings
the game was called on account of
supper. 1t was just as we'll that sup
per was called when it was, because it
would probably have taken a week to
play nine innings-and, horrors, upon
horrors, every week contains a Sun

the batting of the Rev. Hans Wagner
Campbell. In the first inning he
came to bat twice and each time lean
ed against the spitball hurled by Cap
Graham and smote the sphere into the
jimpsOns for four bags. Last year
the Rev. Campbell was the leading
batter in the Epworth League. Presi-
ners. furnished the spectacular feature
of the games. He had eleven putouts
to his credit, but his finest piece of
work was jumping into the bear pit
and mailing a sure a home run off
the bat of the Rev. Richmond Pearson

claimed, is relative of the late la

This Mr.. Morgan decided to purchase,
and two checks were made out-one
for 5000 and the other for $4,000. He
then removed the pearl from it's box
and, having substituted for it the $1,000
check, resealed the package.
Mr.. Morgan's clerk was next dis

An Unsecured Loan.

Though pawnbrokers are not sup
posed to have any friends, only custom
ers, there is story that is told In New
York that shows that they sometimes
stretch their rules-if the right man
comes along. A certain racing man
had been having very hard streak Of
luck. If there were twenty-one horses
In the race, his choice would never be
better than No. 20. Finally his money
was all gone; also all of his negotiable
property. When he had spent his last
dollar for breakfast, he turned into the
pawnshop where all his valuabies were
being cared for, and they amounted to
considerable
I'D ike to have $500 on this" he
said to the proprietor, laying down an
ordinary lead pencil on the counter.
Without change Of countenance, the
pawnbroker made out ticket and
passed the money over the counter.
Right there the racing mans for
tunes seemed to change. Every one Of
his selections proved an easy winner,
and, as he pushed his luck, he was
able at the end Of the week to redeem
his pencil and all his other valuables.

WOLVES OF FRANCE.
a Picture of Their Feroeity In the
Eighteenth Century.

Eighteenth Century.
THE ferocious wolf,' said nature
student, ''is the most perfect expires.
sion Of carnivorous bloodthirst that
walks. His jaw is the most terrible Of
weapons. It's slashing bite can break
the leg of buffalo, and the noise of it
when at work in sheepfold resembles
nothing SO much as the incessant
cracking Of heavy whip"
He took down a book.
"Here is what the wolves of France
were like" he said. '"This is letter
from the famous Duchess of Orleans,
dated at Marty, Feb. 8, 1709:
Packs of wolves commit fearful
ravages. They have devoured the post
man Of Alencon and his horse. Two
OF the beasts attacked a tradesman
near Mons, one springing at his throat.
In response to his shrieks two dra-
goons who were walking by came to
his help. One drew his sword and ran
a wolf through the body, on which it
turned and seized its new assailant by
the throat. His comrade came up and
beat the brute off, but not before it had
killed the man. Meanwhile the other
wolf had seized the second dragon
from behind and dragged him down.
Finally when effective help arrived
both the soldiers and one wolf were
found dead. The other had got away
AS for the tradesman, his leg was so
piteously torn that it had to be ampu-
tated above the knee. 30 Cincinnati

The Mania For shoppino.

One phase Of the feminine mania for
shopping is illustrated in John Foster
Fraser's america at Work" Speaking
Of the G. O. D. method of shopping and
of the way In which it appeals to the
woman with the slender purse, he
says:
IF she has no dollars, that does not
deprive her of the pleasure Of shop
ping. She will walk into big store,
look over dozen gowns and try on
several before deciding. Then she will
get G. O. D. card and, visiting other
departments, viii buy hat, rich un-
derwear and a parasol. She will give
q fine order. When the goods are de-
livered at the address she mentioned,
1t is found there is no such person as
Mrs. Walker. True, she has put the
store to lot of trouble. Yet think Of
the morning Of womanly delight she
has had in her shopping"

A Doubtful Guarantee.

The Arabs and, indeed, all Moslems
have the practice of reinforcing prom
ises by adding to their word of honor
the Arabic phrase Inshallah c'Please
God'). How much meaning it conveys
in some lands of the east is told in the
pages Of 'In Moorish Captivity"
The pious proviso is a very useful
formula to the Moors and is frequently
used in making promises that they
have no intention whatever of keeping,
as they can then take refuge behind
the Almighty when they are taxed
with their breach Of faith.
There is a story told Of man who
kept shop in Gibraltar and who
knew the ways OF the Moor. To him
one day came one Of the faithful, who
was DESTROYS of buying some cloth.
On being Informed that the price was
81 yard, payment in sixty days. he
replied:
"All right I will take 30 much and
viii pay you In sixty days, Inshallah."
'sNo," said the vender, ''the price is
81, payment in sixty days. For sixty
days, Inshallah, the price is $3.50"

MINING NOTES.

Central Eureka.-A few men we're
again put to work early this week
and the mill resumed operations.
What the future of the mine shall be
is uncertain. A large delinquent list
on account of the assessment now
overdue is being published, indicat-
ing that many of the stockholders do
not take hopeful view of the situa-
ton.
Jose Gulch. Last month the mill
on this property near Butte City, was
started on a run of over 100 tons.
The ore, judging from appearance,
was considered of excellent grade.
Picked samples gave prospects in free
gold that would indicate very
fiattering yield. 1t was light, fine
gold, but still it was thought good
for yield a that would leave a big
margin of profit. BY mill process,
however, the outcome fell far below
expectations, and the mill has been
idle since. An effort will be made to
find out the cause of the failure to
save the gold. Mr. Farwell, the super
lntendent, will go to Oakland in
few days and consult with the
principal stockholders as to the
future course. The rock was taken
from a tunnel driven into the hill,
$50 feet below the surface. The
property has not been prospected
below this level.

During Monday night the heaviest
fall of the season occurred, amount

saturated, and large acreage of
grain has been planted. The streams
have responded to the rainfall by
heavy increase in the flow of water.
Up to this date the precipitation is

Brought Wrong Scalps.

Monday two young Indian boys
from about six miles above Volcano
walked down bringing three scalps
with them, which they intended to
turn in and get the bounty, as they
thought of two dollars each. After
standing around in front of the court
house for some time, some one sasked
them what they wanted. The boys
informed their questIoner that they
had some scalps, but didn't know
where to take them. He told the
boys to take them to the county trea-
surer's office, and showed them the
way. But when Treasurer Gritton
examined the scalps he found that
only one of them was a coyotes,
while the other two were wildcats,
upon which there is no bounty.
When he informed them all he could
give them was two dollars, they we're
mighty blue. 1t was already too late
to start out for the mountains again,
so they had to stay around town that
night, and started out in the rain
Tuesday morning.
Charles Harmon brought in a
coyotes scalp on Wednesday, and
secured the bounty.
