opinion, Is the best means OF cncourag

money TO invest, and among those
who are already stockholders. But
above all this publicity and fair deal

with the many wild cat financial
schemes which have thrived in the
past, and which the government is
endeavoring to suppress by deprivinl

other ways.
THE main difficulty has been thai
the investing public has been unable
TO distinguish because of the secretive
policy of so many genuine bona fide
institutions between the Legitimate

can afford to deal openly with the pub

CHEROKEE BALL GAME.

The ball game as played by the
Cherokees is as important to them as
football or any other popular game Is
to other people. The eastern band Of
Cherokees live on the Qualla reserva-

is divided into four main sections
namely, Yellow Hill, Soco, Big Cove
and Birdtown. The Indians living in
one OF these sections will challenge
those living IN another TO a game OF
ball. They choose their players and
agree upon the time and place for
playing the game. II is generally
played in an open field far different
from the well graded field upon which
the game OF football Is played.
The evening before the game the In
dams. the women included. hold a
dance in their respective sections OF
the country. These dances are held in
the open air, usually near some small
while the men dance. In their songs
they make all kinds OF remarks about
those OF the opposing side. These
dances continue all night long. From
the time OF the dances until after the
game the players are not allowed to
eat any food.
The following day the people from
the different sections gather at the ap.
pointed place to witness the game.
They either sit or stand around the
edge of the field The ball players
each have two sticks similar to those
used in the game Of lacrosse, only

JOHN HILLARD.
The letter 1uttered into her lap. She
leaned on her elbows. 1t was not a
bad letter, and she rather liked the
boyish tone of it. Nothing vulgar
peered out from between the lines.
Did he really love music? He must,
for it was not every young man who
could pick out the melody of an old,
forgotten opera. Rather than tempt
fate she decided not to answer this
letter. 1t would be neither wise nor
useful.
Romance. The word came back to
her. With an unmusical laugh she
stood up, shaking the letter to the
floor. Romance. She was no longer
a girl. She was a of five and
twenty, and what should a woman
know of romance? All, there had been
a time when all the world was ro-
mance-rolnance: when the night
breeze had whispered it under her
easement window. when the lattice
climbing roses had breathed it. when
the moon and the stars had spelled 1t.
Romance. She hated the word not
less than she hated the italian Ian
suage. the Italian people. the country
itself. She spurned the letter with
her foot and fed the newspaper to the
fire.
She went downstairs to the piano
emily she began to sing a haunting,
melancholy song by Abt. She was
mistress Of every tone, every shade,
every expression.
The door opened gradually. Crash.
The music was over.

Seasonahle,

Summers ripe, and are we happy?
Does it really touch the spot?
Is there solid JOY in finding
Once again that heat Is hot?
Are we really. truly grateful
Ere the days melt into fall
That the thing is fixed by nature
So the Goa man does not call?
Every season has it's drawbacks.
Summer also has its share,
But 1t has some fine attractions
Scattered through it here and there.
We can loaf about in shirt sleeves,
With the free air 'at our throat,
Slowly sweating out our meanness
Without collar, without Goa
We a lie where shade is thickest
If we do not have to work,
Tossing bonnot at the weather
And the patient weather clerk,
Or if we are fond Of Fishing
Where the merry waters dance
We can by the singing brookside
Bend a pin and take a chance.
Summer is the king of seasons:
Winter is the chilly queen.
Who would not if chance were offered
Change the garb of white for green?
Though the ones who dote or springtime
At the warmer days may scott,
Summer is the time for pleasure
If the boss will let you off.

If fish should slyly spin

And pull the fisher In
And softly call unto their mates

And have enough to eat.
We wouldn't like it if the birds
That sail the azure sky

If each had underneath its wing

And never thought a day well spent
Unless he shot a man.
II wouldn't tickle us to death
IF tigers set a trap
Along the beaten path to catch
Some poor, unlucky chap;
If bears. with cunning, skill and strength,

To meet the traveller In the woods
And rob him OF his life.
There isn't any moral here,
But there is food for thought.

What humans are chiefly hunt
ing for nowadays is Inspiration
in one form or another. This
story cannot fail to give its
reader inspiration, and therefore
its value a hardly be overes-
ffn1afed. The magic of the love
of man for woman, that, aroused
simply by the sound of a voice,
causes a young millionaire to
cross oceans and traverse
foreign lands to find his fate
mas eve better pictured. The
story is Intensely romantic and
alzuringly mysterious. The in
sidious evils of unwise marriage
with foreign "nobzemen" are
czeperzy shown, and the familiar
Italian brand of intrigue is laid
bare. The author shows that the
reward of patience and purity is
happiness and that the wages
of sin is DEATH. He makes you
laugh when he pictures the ad-
ventures of an American comic
opera troupe stranded in foreign
lands. He makes you thrill with
the wanderlust when he describes
La Bella NQpOi and the vine
covered slopes that rim the
Mediterranean.
