accord the distinction OF having been
the first American novelist, as well as
the first American to take up litera-
ture as a profession capable OF yield
ing a livelihood. Brown was born in
Philadelphia. January II, 1771, and
was of Quaker descent. From early
childhood he was physically delicate
but intellectually precocious Before
he was ten years old he had read every
book he could procure. From his elev-
enth to his sixteenth year he was a
pupil of Robert Proud. the historian.
Geography was his favorite study and
he acquired an astonishing knowledge
OF the subject. Constant devotion to
his studies and lack of exercise in the
fresh air undermined his delicate
health and led To the development OF
the germs OF consumption which later
ended his brilliant career. He began
to study law In the office of Alexander

DEACON WAS A SMART MAN
Success Of His Brilliant Idea Elk
planned Why Grocer SO Often
Went Bankrupt.

Opposite the railroad depot, where
the colonel had to wait for an hour
or two, was n grocery kept by a col
ored man. and to pass the time away
he strolled across. Business seemed
to be very brisk with the grocer,
though all his customers were OF his
own color. The colonel noticed that
sugar, tea and coffee were asked for
most frequently, and during tenn
porary lull he approached the bat
tered old scales, on which everything
was weighed, and picked up some of
the weights. The hollow in each had
been filled with lead, and II was quite
sure that a pound weight would bal
ance 20 ounces of coffee. BY and by
It was remarked to the old man:

''He do sab. Yes, sir, no white man

He was asked to take his weights
over to the depot and see how they
held out, and he picked them up and
started off with a puzzled look on his
face. They were placed on the scales
one by one. and when the last had
been tested the old man threw up his
hands and exclaimed:

HANCOCK HOCKEY TEAM WINS
FROM CALUMET; SCORE 5 1872
One of the Fastest Games of the
Season is Played in HOugh-
ton Rink.
ICE SPLENDID AND BIG CROWD

"'Those devotces of hockey who visited
the Amphidrome last night saw one of
the fastest games that has been seen
in this section during the present sea-
son. Hancock and Calumet were the
combatants and they certainly put up
a clever exhibition OF the sport The
FIRST half of the contest was especially
Interesting as the tail-enders held the
Hancock team 20 a score of 3 to 1 for
the half. In the second half the Calu-
met boys scored goal and then there
was long spell Of hard and fast play
mig before any player could find the
net with the puck The final score was
s 10 3
1.-THE first goal OF the evening was
scored by stroud after two minutes Of
play, after taking the puck the entire
hngth OF the rink Three minutes la
ter Waara shot another from a scrim-
page in front OF the Calumet goal.
Here the visitors took a brace and
Within the next two minutes they had
put the puck I'm Hancock's goal, Reyn-
s4ds being the shooter. After this
scoring bee there was a long, hard. spell
of playing in which the puck was kept
ON the jump and it was eight minutes
before tho end Of the half when Stroud
scored another goal
Second Half OF Game.
As i'm the first half. Calumet was
successful in scoring the first goal in
the second period. Kaiser did this af-
ter the game had been resumed for
two minutes. No scoring was INDUCED
i'm during the next quarter hour al
though the battle ragged fast and furi-
Gus. Then Waara started the scoring
again by taking a pass from Began
and putting the disc in Calumet's net.
Within the next eight minutes. the
Hancock contingent shot four goals in
rapid succession. These were credited
TO Exley, Waara, Stroud and Exley i'm
the order named.
AZ no time during the present season
has the ice I'm the Amphidrome been i'm
better shape for q hockey game than
IL was last night. Ii was very fast
and that probably accounts for a num-
Der Of things that happened to make
the game interesting, the least of
which was not the little exhibition of
wrestling given by LIndcr and Exley
back OF CalmcCs goal carly i'm the
second period.
Shields was tho referee and Haus
appeared as judge Of play for the last
time this season as he win hereafter
