Mercury and the sun.

The distance of Mercury from the
sun varies owing to the eccentricity Of
its orbit. When he is nearest to the
sun he receives ten and half times
more light and heat than we do, but
when he removes to his greatest dis
lance the light and heat are reduced by
more than one-half. Even then, how
ever, the sun blazes in the skies Of
Mercury with a disk four and a half
times larger than that which he shows
to us ON earth.

CHEROKEE BALL GAME.

Preceded by Songs and Dances Which
Last All Night.
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-
ton, in western North Carolina.
The neighborhood in which l live,
writes an Indian girl in the Red Man,
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. 1t 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
stream. The women do the singing
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
smaller. The ball Is tossed up In the
center Of the field, and the game be-
gins. The object is to get 1t around
two poles placed at each end OF the
field a certain number OF times. They
cannot pick up the ball in their hands.
The players who succeed in getting the
ball around the poles at the end Of the
field the greatest number Of times win
the game.

Eli Peppers
Celebration
And How They Put a Damper
on His Ambitious Spirit
By CLARISSA MACKTE

By CLARISSA MACKIE

The old home week committee met
in Eli Peppers little grocery store on
the night before the celebration was
to begin. AS chairman of the com
mittee Eli had presided despotically
over his fellow townsmen, and it was
with something very like relief that
the committee contemplated the dawn
ing of the celebration, for that meant
the beginning Of the end of Ellis self
imposed tyranny.
Eli Pepper had been the leading spir-
it in the old home week project. He
it was who had slyly planted the germ
of the idea in the heads of his neigh
bors. He had talked loudly Of the
dollars that would roll into the Golfers
Of the merchants, Of the free adver-
tising that their village would receive,
Of waste land that would be sold to
admiring visitors once they had set
foot on the picturesque environs Of
Blue Mills.
All the arrangements were conclud-
ed now. subcommittee Of every sort
had been appointed until there re-
mained not one respectable citizen Of
Blue Mills who was not serving in
some capacity. Diplomacy required
this, and Eli Pepper possessed diplo-
macy, but his cupidity was greater
and in the end proved his downfall.
Eli Pepper as chairman Of the COM
mittee assumed charge Of all the ar
rangements-hiringa a band from Mill
ton, organizing parade of prominent
citizens with Eli Pepper in the lead.
Of course), getting up a program Of
field sports, tub races, creased pole
contests, etc.-until some suspicious
party limited that this sudden exhibit
tion Of executive ability on the part
Of Eli Pepper could have been produc
ed only after months Of deep schem-
ing. When they realized this fact
the members Of the committee waxed
bitter, and dissension stalked in their
midst The fact that Eli Pepper had

And so on this warm July evening
the old home week committee met
for the last time in Eli Peppers gro
Gerry store. All enthusiasm In the prof.
ect had died out, and there was even
animosity displayed because they had
been stirred from their rut Of summer
somnolence

Eli Pepper from his seat on the count

First of ALL think of each human
