WOODEN ARMS
LOSE GAME

I Once there was man who had
wooden leg. Yesterday there
were numerous Injuns who make
their feed playing the national
game, who had wooden arms.
That's what lost the game for the
tribe and won for Aberdeen to l..
Of course it wasn't exactly all their
fault, for Aberdeen did play some.
When big Gus Thompson got real
serious he also assisted in the gen.
eral run of things. And old Daddy
Brown lent moral support from the
bench.
Despite bitter defeat it was a
good, interesting game. Some fans
like to see team go to pieces.
even If it's the home team. That
was what happened yesterday-the
home team went to pieces. Per-
haps they hadn't been glued in the
first place. They didn't stick, any
Iway. The big show, the main tent
attractions, were in the eighth.
idmagine a score two to nothing.
Looks like things might be doing
any time, as it's only the seventh.
But the usually lucky seventh OF
the innings found the Indians Sc.
verely rebuked and BANKED. And
then the eighth! Everybody on
Aberdeen's team hit her out a lit
tie. The balloon started in the
eighth with Chandler making a
wild throw to Hulen. Then Sailor
Roberts, who was making a brave
fight behind the bat, got strong and
threw the ball away into center
field. Next Kippert threw from
center into the bleachers, almost.
Then Chandler hitched wild one
home which clouted the runner in
the head. All Of those witnesses
were in one inning and followed
closely.
Irwin Jensen vas led to the sac
rifice The Cats got him for eight
hits, two of them doubles. He
struck out three and walked one.
Gus Thompson gave only two hits,
both dinky singles. He struck out
Ave and walked two.
The absence Of Rogers Is great.
iy felt, especially yesterday. Nc
Garter had done well enough the
past week but had business else
where, so Sailor Roberts was put
On. The story Is best told in this
official record of base stealing. 1t
was all to second: Stolen bases
Streib, Moore CD Campbell CD,
Spencer (2). Roberts couldn't pu,
the ball down to second with speed
or accuracy.
Our lone run is worthy of men
tion. Mackin singled. stole second
and made third on Moore's error.
Kippert raped out fast one into
Mahon's territory and Mackin
scored. That was all there was do
: ing for us. 1t came in the ninth
and prevented shutout.
Aberdeen simply turned the
' tables. the Indians winning 5 to l
Saturday. 1t was a shutout really,
tbut Frary spoiled it by rank de-
cision on first that let Cat in.
However, the series is safe.

in the arts of civilization as were the people of the stone and iron ages. It is only few years since slavery was common and canibalism was more or less carried on. Then justice was un- known and life of no account.
 The British are now gradually changing all these conditions. The Nasal now knows that he dares not assault his neigh Dor and he is gradually becoming de- cent citizen Both he and his fellows Of other tribes are beginning to understand the value. of labor. The Nasal will not dig, but they are paid for herding stock, and some of the other tribes are doing actual work on the farms and on the rail- road. They are beginning to have wants, and as these increase they will work to supply them. Many of those who for merly went naked now want more or less clothing. Cotton goods are becoming pop ular and, strange to say, the American white cotton sheeting brings the highest of prices among the natives. It outsells the Indian and English goods and in some places it even passes for money. Another article from America that is in great de- mand here is coal oil. The natives buy 1t to light their huts, and the big chiefs al- most universally own one or more kero- sene lamps. Otlier foreign articles much desired are umbrellas, knives and hard ware of various kinds A system of East Indian stores is going up throughout the country to supply the natives. The Hin doc traders carry their goods everywhere, and in years to come new people will take the places of the savages of the past.
 AS 1t is now the missionaries are doing considerable both here and in the coun- tries about the great lakes. The most of .,1- ,- l,, ha 1a de nf hn English, but at I<ijabe within few miles of Lake Naivasha, there is an industrial mission school run by American Quakers, and that same denomination has another industrial settlement in the Kavirondo country near Lake Victoria.

New Roads Made by the British.

''When we took possession of the Kenia province" Captain Hinde went on, i've had to fight our way in. As soon as we had subdued the people we made them work at making roads as a penalty for their insurrection. We connected all the villages by roadways and gave each town so much to take care of. As a result we now have in that province alone 400 miles of good wagon roads, each ten feet in width. We have also made 1t the law that every road shall be considered as having all the rights of a market place. This means that no native can assault another while walking upon them and that all feuds must be buried when trav- cling over the roads. Many of these roads connect villages which were for merly at war with each other, and the result Is that they have become peace ful and that the citizens can now travel safely from one town to, another. They are really changing their natures and are going through a process of travel-educa- ton. As I have already said, five years ago they never left home. Now thou sands of them travel over our roads down to the seacoast, and we have something like 1900 natives of Kenia here at Mom- basa-"
 Evolving a Civilization.
 These remarks of Captain Hinde show how John Bull is gradually evolving civilization in these African wilds. The Nasal are about the most intelligent ot the natives, and there are millions about here who are much farther down on tho scale of barbarism than they. Al ghall show in other letters, some go absolute iy naked, and some are still as far back
