MOHAWK CRICKtTERS MAY
WIN The TREVARROW CUP

The Mohawk cricket team so far
has very good chance to win the
cup offered by Capt. John TreVerroW
for the club making the most, runs
during the season. Up to the present
time. Mohawk has played 10 games
and has made 9SS runs, an average
of 9S.s runs a game. This score puts
Mohawk far in the lead 1t was
thought this week by some Mohawk
cricketers that the Tamarack team
was a close second and possibly the
leader, but the total of the scores made
this season puts Tamarack far be-
hind the Mohawk eleven. Painesdale
Is second i'm the percentage column
but Mohawk has a good margin and
no fear is felt from this quarter The
low scores made by Tamarack in the
beginning of the season caused the
team to fall behind. although in the
last few games the scores have been
very high
The Mohawk cricket team goes to
Ahmeek tomorrow to meet the crick-
eters from that village and an easy
victory is expected Bert Ritter who
has played with Ahmeek up to the
present time, viii play with Mohawk
next Saturday. He played with Mo-
hawk last season. Chas. Richard. for
merly with Mohawk, will play with
Ahmeek tomorrow.
Cricket is becoming very popular

of Mohawk are beginning to take vi

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES
ANXIOUS TO GET COW

The following communication mas

Did you ever hear of real farm

one which should no longer be allowed

little farm has been secured for MIN
only three miles from Calumet. HIS
good wife and four young children
help with the farm work and they
hope by another year to have some
thing worth exhibiting at the county
fair The house is cosy and homelike,
but the livestock of the farm consists
ut present of five fowls, q cat and a
dog. A good neighbor occasionally
loans them a horse but this growing
family tries to get along with quart

gives grocery order and helps III

American tourists will through sheer

stand on the graves Of the cemetery on

eexistent animosity toward the white
races. holding human life cheap, espe-
cially where an "unbeliever" is con-
cerned, and far more indifferent than
ourselves TO pain and death, it is amaz-
ing that they should not give free rein
more often than they do 10 the impulse
murderously to attack on the spot those
who IN their eyes are profaning things
that they hold sacred and in reverence
That the natives have very serious
grounds for irritation cannot be denied.
And. far from diminishing, the causes
are increasing proportionately with the
growth of the facilities and cheapncsn Of
travel. which brings to the Orient tour
lists OF class still more devoid OF good
breeding and, above all, OF good man
ners than those who have gone before.
Americans are by no means the only Of
tenders. nor yet the worst, although
they are possibly among the most con-
spicuous by reason of their superiority
of numbers and of means-means which
more often in the United States than
anywhere else are TO be found in the
possession Of self-made people, who have
not enjoyed all the advantages Of early
refinement Moreover. they are extraor-
dinariIy unimpressionable to the char
acter of their surroundings.
True. the bump of veneration plays
less important role in American phrenol-
ogy than in that Of any other nation.
The spirit Of reverence is conspicuous by
its absence, this being largely due to the
doctrines of democracy, which teach that
each man is as good as another. The
old French army saying. "Rien nest
sacre pour un sapeur'' C'Nothing is
sacred TO a sapper'D, has been parodied
a abroad into Nothing is sacred TO an
American'-that is to say. nothing is
supposed TO ever feaze either the sons
or the. daughters Of Uncle Sam.
What is. however, a general lack of
reverence in the American tourist is
often in his German and more especially
in his English fellow travellers an I'll
bred and openly professed contempt for
everything that does not accord with
their ideas in matters Of creed, custom
and prejudice. If the American gives
