 This great master, who has been flat on his back at Denver, Colo. for nearly one year. has. done more for the game than an! other living man. and to him belongs most of the credit for the modern scientific game
 Born in Milwaukee in IS55 he showed his remarkable genius at an early age and though the advance ment of the game scientifically has been made step by step. he has at ways been leading the way
 Almost all of the restriction that have been added from time to time, such as the Bake line in it various and increasing widths from the early 6 inch limit to the present IS inch, and the anchor barred, were all adde 1 to make the game more difficult. and with each succeeding restriction. his skill became greater.
 In almost every city in the world has he shown his skill for he was one of those champions who believed i'll playing on all possible occasions.

 They remember with admiration his last wonderful game played ill Paris with Cure for the lS.1 cham p1onship. Though in poor health at the time and apparently hopeless!y beaten he came on at the finish with great speed, running the game out with the record run of 155.
 Since then his health has been gradually failing and though he has appeared in several championship matches, generally more than holding his own, the inroads of the disease has sapped his strength until today he Is little more than a shadow of his former self. Now that he is very i'll with almost no chance of permanent recovery he needs money His gener- ons spirit always dispensing charity with both hands, has put him in position where he is no longer able to purchase the little comforts, which would go q long ways toward pro longing his life.

Don't Put Writing in Package.

Last week one Of our townspeople had
to pay $1,000 fine for mailing package
OF merchandise with writing In it and
telling the postmaster there was no
writing in it. A package may be mailed
here with writing In it, and the post
master may take the word OF the sender
that there Ia no writing in it and not
open package to examine it, but the
postmaster or an inspector at destina-
tion OF package may open it and the
fine will have to be paid. The postoffice
is watching this closely now and every
person enclosing writing in second
class package may find it expensive
business. The postmaster and assist
ants, who receive packages, are in
structed to ask the person mailing same
II there Is writing in it.
o We mention this now as it is near the
holiday season-time for mailing pack
ages-and some OF our readers may
thoughtlessly slip note In package
and mail it to friend. Don't do it.
Better spend two cents for stamp and
mail your letter separate from package,
then you will not be breaking the postal
laws and throwing yourself Sliable for
heavy fine.

Rabbits Can be Sold.

A number of people think that rab-
bits cannot be bought and sold In Penn
sylvania, and it has been so stated in at
least one newspaper, but the game law
states plainly that rabbits can be bought
and sold. The law says: "And that all
kinds of game killed in this Common.
wealth, excepting deer, wild turkey,
ruffed.grouse, woodcock, quail, COM
monty called Virginia partridge, and
hungarian quail may be bought and
sold within the Commonwealth during
the open season for such game, and for
thirty days thereafter"
Rabbits that are killed out of season
for destroying cultivated crops or trees
(which the law sllows) cannot be used
for food nor cannot be sold. 1t is pos
sible that this has given the impression
to some people that rabbits cannot be
sold at any time.

FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLAR FIRE
H. Adelson's Junk Storage Building and
Barn Burned Friday Night.

About nine o'clock last Thursday night
the storage building and barp of H.
Addison, junk dealer, on Jackson street,
was destroyed by fire. When Mr..
Addison discovered the fire it had a
good start and it was only by quick
work that he got his three horses out
of the barn. The blaze was so near
the horses that Mr.. Addison did not
wait to unite the halter straps, but cut
them with his knife. The building
burned rapidly and the fremen were
only able to keep down the flames so
that dwellings nearby were protected
from the fire.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Mr.. Addison had this building lighted
with electricity as a safeguard against
fire. The estimated loss is 81, 500 with
5000. 90 insurance.
