Who the Mound Builders Were.

Who were the mound builders of
North America? The Rev. DIR. Bryce
Of Winnipeg has examined large
number of these interesting struc-
lures and is of the opinion that they
were built by the Toltecs and mark
the course of the Toltec immigration
from the south along the Mississippi
and Ohio to the great lakes and the
st. Lawrence, along the Missouri and
along the Mississippi proper to the
Rainy and Red rivers. This would
make the earliest mound date from
about HOO A. D.-Boston Herald

MEMS CLOTHES.
Not What They Used to Be In the
Days Of EIizabeth.


Most men nowadays do not get
much pleasure from dress and scarce
ly notice the changes of fashion in
mems clothes. They are vaguely
aware that a hat looks odd when it's
shape is old fashioned, and they ac-
cept the hat Of the moment because
they do not wish to look odd them
selves. But this is merely negative
interest. They are also apt to be con-
temptuous Of women's greater inter-
est in the fashions, as if it were a
mark of frivolity.
This is an ignorant mistake. Dress
is or ought to be an art, and therefore,
If only a minor art, it is more seri-
Gus matter than any of the games to
which many men give so much time
and pains. Besides, men have only be-
come Indifferent to their clothes In
modern times.
In the heroic age Of Elizabeth they
made themselves as smart as pea
cocks. Great soldiers and poets then
took pains to be in the height Of the
fashion, and fashions changed with
some violence and rapidity. In the
eighteenth century, too, which we do
not think of as a time of effeminacy
and when men were wanting neither
in enterprise nor in seriousness, they
were as splendid and extravaganza in
their dress as women.-London Times.

Elkton And Frederick Offer Sites
To State Troops.


The next encampment OF the
Maryland National Guard will be
within the limits of the State, and
will probably be held between July
20 and %, according to Adjutant-
General Warfeld.
Residents of Elkton and Fred
erick have made requests that the
camp be held near those cities, and
General Varfeld visited Elkton
last week to inspect its proposed
camp site. He has asked the War
Department to detail a battalion of
infantry, troop of cavalry and a
battery of field artillery of the
United States Army for duty with
the Maryland troops.
The decorations for marksmen,
sharp shooters and experts of the
Maryland National Guard were
sent out Monday to company com
manders. The decorations were to
have been presented the brigade
December 80, but the War De
partment changed the metal of
which the decorations are made
and delay resulted.
The decorations for National
Guardsmen are now of fire gilt,

No one ever heard an umpire boast

but the arbitrators in the Ameri-

leading an ideal life than men in

1t is because President Joe

The American league is no place

yesterday afternoon, the Fifty
second street team defeated the
1. o. F. team by score of 10 to

HALL

With two out in the last inning
and the score a tie, Bill Fowler
raped the ball to the fence for
three bases and then stole home
and won the game for the court
house team Saturday evening
against the city hall ball players.
Vic Foster, catcher for the city
hall team, made all it's scores by
his fast base running. He was
substituted at first base for the
slow boys and he stole the bases
on Ralph Woods, the court house
catcher, as fast as they came.
1t waspa great game of ball and
the rooters were very much in
evidence.
The score was Q to 6.

Zeider's performance this veal
has just set the fans wild; in all.
round work he is head and
shoulders above any player In the
Coast league. His fielding sim
ply borders on the marvellous, his
hitting is bully and immense, and
on the bases he is a regular de-
mon. 1t is becoming an almost
daily occurrence. for him to steal
home, and as for stealing second

Element, with an estimated popula-
ton of 500, did on May 20, when
every man, woman and child able
to rake up the-price of Transports
ton and admission, journeyed to
New York and out to the Polo
grounds to see New York and
Pittsburg play.
Why? oh, just because Joe
Miller, the hustling little second
'baseman of the Pirates, happens to
do his voting here. There's moth
ing like encouraging local talent
and in this village, named after
the hero of "Seven Pines" they're
strong for the native.
Long before invasion day, Kear-
neyites reserved 800 seats, but this
number was increased when it be-
came apparent that Kearney would
be deserted village on thesgreat
day. Every one locked house and
shop door, turned loose the
watch dogs and hit the trail for
the big wfgwam.
It isn't every minor Lacquer Just
breaking into the limelight who
can boast of having a whole town

out to see him. In fact, the honor
