Trollope was a great smoker. and made
no attempt to conceal the store of cigars

or bins. each with a separate glass door
and filled with cigars stacked across each
other like timber, SO as to allow free
circulation of air. On wet days the doors
were kept closed. and on fine days were
left open. A pointed stud was stuck into
the wood above the door of the bin in
use. As soon as a bin was emptied the
stud was moved to above the next door,
and the empty receptacle refilled from
the big chests of cigars which Trollope
obtained direct from Havana.

ATHLETICS SWAT ARTIST,
LEADING RUN.GETTER IN LEAGUES

Certain persons think that the best
to consider the worth of a player
to his team as a hitter is to take. in
the number of runs he has driven
over the plate Some men can hit
like flends when men are on the bases
and some cannot. Whatever the mer-
Its of the two modes of calculation
may be. the fact remains that the
men voted as being the most valua-
hle players To their teams in the Ma

by a jury of scribes. each athlete be-
ing rewarded by the presentation of

Stand Competition.
An analysis of the 1912 Olympian
games shows that the Americans

where the stress of competition was
hardest. In the clashes they were SUI

is original and worthy of considera-

"Of course said Spalding, II am
not surprised at the result at Stock

tion Of the Olympic games was inaug-
urated at Athens: America won the

conclusion that we would win at

Why DO We Always Win?

extra good, therefore was well worth

Sunday, although considering the in
creased demand, the wants of the
trade were barely supplied There
were more small butchers on the mar
ket today and their wants We're quite

of stock was disposed of in this
manner.
Total run of cattle over Sunday was
459 head, compared with 322 a week
