Nap Rucker, the star left hand pitcher
Of the Brooklyn team is the champion
hard luck twirler of the National league.
In nearly every game this and last season
Rucker has pitched grand ball, but for
some reason he does not seem to be able
to win a big majority Of his games. Some
times his teammates fail to give him
good support in the field If not that the
team takes a slump in batting. Last year
Rucker lost more games by one run thar
any other pitcher in the National league
This year IL seems TO be the same. with
good backing there is little doubt that
Rucker would be well up among the win.

Ski-Ridinu Now in VOGUE,

Norwegian ski-riding, or ski-jumping
as it is popularity termed in America,
is a manly and healthful sport which,
in the northwest at least, has come to
stay. The ski in this country are usu-
ally made Of birch, ash, or hickory, as
pine or soft wood ski prove very ex-
pensive articles; they break easily and
may be the cause of serious accidents
Birch makes a very good ski, possibly
the best for ladies. as it is lighter than
the wood used by the professional
rider, namely, hickory. The white ash
is used mostly by boys, as it is more
durable than birch and less expensive
than hickory. The jumping ski, says
Recreation, should be as long as the
height of the man plus the distance he
can reach with extended arms over
head, usually 71a to 81 feet The ski
for distance travelling are usually
longer. They weigh from seven to
eight pounds each, heavier ski being
rather better for jumping.

Some day not very far distant, it is
hoped, exporters and importers in the
United States will awaken to the rea-
lization that South America offers
them exceptional business opportuni-
ties, and then probably systematic
and determined effort will be made to
wrest from Europe the trade which,
geographically speaking, belongs to us.
Why this rich field has not been Guilt
waited is one of the mysteries which
for a decade has puzzled citizens who
visited the continent to the south. Per-
haps the explanation is that we have
been too busy extending our trade to
Europe and Asia, but whatever the
cause, the time has passed when
American merchants can any longer
afford to ignore the possibilities appar
ent to the well informed.

"Mark Twain" Incorporated.

Whatever may be the psychic condi-
ton Of Samuel l.. Clemens, Mark
Twain may be presumed to have part
ed with his soul-having converted
himself, his name and all that pertains
thereto into that soulless no less than
invisible and intangible entity known
as corporation. But it is in a good
cause, that this psychic humiliation
has been endured, and the world will
be disposed to praise rather than
blame him for what is an act of real
providence and forehandedness 1t is
for the sake of his children, says the
New York Globe, who as his heirs may
be able because of this action to enjoy
the fruits of his labor much longer
than they otherwise would. For it is
believed that Mark Twain, Incorporat-
ed, will be proof against all pirates, re-
spectacle or otherwise, where plain
Mark Twain would be without defense.
1t is even fondly hoped that Mark
Twain, incorporated, will be able, in
some sort, to prevail against the copy
right law.

Johnny Nichols, fifteen year
old son of Mrs. John Nichols, of
Tower, died at St. Mary's Hospi-
tai in Duluth Tuesday of cancer of
the head. Little Johnny was pop
ular and no one feels his demise
more than the attendants and pa
tients at the hospital where he has
been for over a year. He was well
known here, he having been en-
ployed as a sinner at STEMS bar
Der shop for some time. A typical
little darkey boy, Johnny smiled
even when the hand of death was
poised above his kinky head, and
the smile brought many benedic-
ton from the gentle sisters, who
ministered to his needs and did
what they could to make his last
days as happy as possible.

AS when Vesuvius last broke loose,
people will wonder why men choose to
dwell in such scenes of danger. But
between the great disasters that make
so portentious a printed list are long
periods when the slopes are golden
with lemons ripening and the rich soil
smiles with double harvests. A volcano
is not such bad neighbor. 1t always
gives warning, says the New York
World, and in its worst fits enriches
the soil. The earthquake in its appal-
ling fury and unacceptable suddenness
is a different matter.
