NOvICE'S GUN is CONFISCATED,

APPLETON, Wis, Nov 22.-[Spe-
cial. 1.-The care which is taken by deer
hunters in the vicinity of Three lakes to
rid the woods of young nimrods who
shoot at anything they see stir in the
neighborhood of runway is told by r.
G. Sykes, who has just returned from
a ten days hunt there. He said a
young man from Elkhart lake left the
train with an apparent idea that he
could find deer in all directions. No soon
er was he on the depot platform than he
loaded his rifle and in crouching posi-
ton followed the fence along the track
looking for game. An old time hunter
watched him and knowing the green
shot would let drive at any moving OBJ
iect fired shot so that it struck
tree five feet from the Elkhart lake man,
who left for home on the next train.
Henry Jurs of this city, an old time
hunter and veteran of the Spanish war,
watched another young hunter handling
his rifle in such a manner on the run
way that he suspected he would fire at
anything. Jurs sat down on log beside
him and when the green hunter heard
two men coming through the woods he
raised his rifle to fire. Jurs grabbed it,
took the rife and hunting knife from the
man and ordered him to take the next
train home. He complied with the order
and his rifle was expressed to him the
next day.

three of them during the course of one
afternoon. Many others have been seen
in the neighborhood. 1t is believed that
these deer come from Canada. The fact
that the game is being hunted with dogs
across the border is thought to have
caused many of the animals to take to
the water near Point aux Pins and swim
to the American side. Two big bucks
were seen to land near the Mosquito bay
light the other day, having swan the
river from the Dominion shore. Both
animals escaped to the woods in safety.

as they are intended solely for conven-

character Ball watches concealed or
enclosed in fancy spheres are such tiny
affairs that they may be attached to a

of a change purse or set beneath the flap
of a handbag. These balls are usually
of silver or gun metal and, despite the
miniature proportions of the works, are
reliable timekeepers.

THE TESTING OF JUAN
ANDRES.
By the Rev. William Hughes.

By the Rev. William Hughes.
Juan Andres was praised by
the new agent, Dewey, as the
"whitest Indian" he had ever
known. But Juan Andres, while
he lived, had one proud boast;
and that was, 81 am a full-blood
Indian" To tell the truth, Dewey
had known few Indians, and
never understood any; else he
would never have degraded Juan
Andres from the office of reserva-
ton police. Instead, he would
have tested his word of honor
again. Dewey had reason, how
ever, to fear the short-sighted
criticism of higher government
officials: that if he retained Juan
Andres in office he would be brib-
ing the Indian to keep him sober.
That this criticism was untrue,
Juan Andres proved by his heroic
life and death. For years before
his betrothal to Dolores of the
neighboring Cahuilla tribe, he had
been the scandal of the Soboba
reservation. He was almost al
ways drunk, and, when drunk,
was quarrelsome and dangerous.
But Dolores believed in him, that
he could be as manly as he was
handsome. Tall, straight, mus
cular, when sober he rode with
ease a horse that few cowboys or
Indians could conquer. But as to

IMMIGRATION.
Zone Dreamy

1t not only has its comical side,
but it is amazing to see how fani-
lies are streaming into our Rain
bow Land and how they settle
and are settled.
The names Mrs. Green and the
two Misses Green and Master
Green, for instance, appear on the
steamers list. There's nothing,
certainly, very remarkable about
that either as to name or number.

when we came out here that we
were going to see anything like
this. Here is a field such as any
big university might be proud of,
and they certainly are playing a
fine game of ball. And you say
that they play football, soccer and
all other games just as we'll? Let
me see that list of names you
have there" And he read the list
over several times, asking for in
formation as to pronunciation,
chortling all the time.
Then he was told a few more
things to surprise him. He heard
of the Outrigger Club, of the
yacht club, of the transpacifc
yacht races, of the girls rowing
clubs, of the Marathon races and
of many other events in the way
of sports and athletics that take
place here. Before the party left
the grounds they had realized in
a small way just how great
country this is for open-air sport,
and the Tenyo Maru carried away
one good sportsman who will tell
the people on the mainland some
truths about sport in Hawaii.
The recent visits of the Santa
Clara and Keio teams to Homo
lulu have done untold good in pro-
motion work. There is no place
in the world where open-air sport
has a better environment than on
these Islands, and there is prob
ably no other place in the world
where sport is so clean or so un-
tainted by the touch Of profess
sionalism. To the athletic in
structors of the various schools,
colleges and the Y. M. c. A. much
credit for the present clean and
high efficiency of sport and ath-
letics in the Hawaiian Islands is
due. They should be encourag-
ed in every way, for they have
been making a name for Hawaii
that is heard all over the world,

IOWA CITY, Ia, Jan. 2S.-(Special.S
Active preparations are being made by the
Iowa coaches to start the indoor training
season directly following the semester
exams. which end on February 5. Coach
Catlin has issued a cali fer the track men
and Coach Kirk will issue a general an
nourcement for the bal tossers TO begin
the daily work in the cage. Already the
battery men have been practicing in the

Iowa's trouble for years has been the
lack of enough men for the spring athletic
teams. This year premises to see a change
and 1t is probable that Catlin and Kirk
will have better material than for several
seasons. The last two years Coach Mark

IRON MAN WILL NOT WANDER FAR
At Least Two Teams Ready 20 Grab
McGinnity.

NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Walvers have been
asked on Joe, McGinnity, the veteran pit
cher OF the Giants, but 1t is pretty sure
he will not get out of the National league.
Manager McGraw wanted to dispose of
McGinnity last season, but could not find
a club willing to assume the big contract
that McGinnity held.
McGinnity pitched eighteen games last
season, winning eleven of them, but did
not seem to be able to regain the oldtime
form that made him famous during his
career In Baltimore and Brooklyn. under
Ned HanIon, and later with McGraw in
New York.
McGinnity came to New York with
McGraw when the latter brought
himself and five members of the Baltimore
American League club here. in 1902. The
other members to come were B~resnaham'
Mccain and Gilbert.
With the passing OF McGinnity McGraw
is the only player left on the team who
came to New York from Baltimore at
that time. 1t is rather a curious colnci-
dence, that the only other man who jumped
the Baltimore team at that time is now
a member of the Giants. This is Mike
Donlin, who jumped to Cincinnati when
the Baltimore outfit was disrupted.
II would occasion no surprise to see
McGinnity join the st. Louis team, Bres-
nahsn has a big, warm spot in his heart
for the Iron Man. and after getting rid
