saa read if in numberless books

can had read it in numberless books and papers--that baseball was a dis reputable game played by nobody but d few hired professionals, and was re- sronsible for the smudge of dishonesty foreigners had lately taken to daabins over the Yankee name; or maybe base ball got it's smudge from the @YanSee s natural yellow streak. In his misery the American couldn't remember which was cause and which effect. Anyhow. 1t didn't matter. The only thing that really mattered was to find out how the gare was going.
 its over by this time" he said. starting up from his anguished reverie. and I'm sitting here like lump of lead, making no further effort to find out who won. There must be some body in this town who's got spunk enough to get the news, if he has to have it cabled over at his own ex- pense'
 There was some one. Long after midnight the American found him. He was the sporting editor on a morning paper.
 Red Sox won," said he.

 Don't know Didn't bother about that" said the writer.
 Then the American gave it up. There are some things you cannot get in Lon don.

Mighty Buffalo Hunters

From the Impsrialist.
 J. Cooper. manager of Melville Island, on behalf of H. O. Robinson, the les see, v as ii Melbourne this year. Thir- ty-two years ago he went across the Australian continent. south to north, with horses. Ever since he has been in the north, prospecting. stock hunting ard buffalo shooting.
 Has shot and skinned countless buf- faloes. Lost count years ago as to how maay thousand. In the earlier days all this hunting WAS on foot, but now it is on horseback Horsemen dash into the herds and lay out the buffaloes.
 Cooper has administered Melville Island for many years. He has for a long period been the only white man on the island among numerous blacks. Yet those blacks were reported to bo desperately ferocious. Sir c. Bremen tried to make an English settlement there in 1924. He had soldiers, but the natives drove the party away
 In 1892 Robinson leased the island. Subjugated by kindness. and indeed had practically no other weapon. The island Is of 1,5o0.000 acres, together Hsth Bathurst island. separated by a long, narrow strait. fordable at one end.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-11-10

At the other there Is 8 harbor it to receive a. war fleet. Bathurst island Is about 100000 acres. and the natives roam over both. They number about 900. They have successfully repuised the Malayan and every other admixture Apparently a separate type to the Aus tralian in many respects.
 About 17,000 buffaloes on Melville island and at least 100000 on the main land of Australia. All descend from sixteen buffaloes placed by Bremen on the island and sixteen on the main land. It is stated that buffaloes have swum across the intervening thirty miles. Melville island Is only that dis tanoe from Port Darlxin. What use a hostile force could make of it. The na- tlVes had never touched a buffalo till Cooper came. Now they have as much beef as they can eat.
 The island is splendidly watered with everflowing springs, which give rise to fine creeks, and there are a couple of rivers. Altogether well grassed and timbered, with numerous fertile valleys and much arabic land. All experiments with tropical plants have succeeded, but little has been done beyond shoot ing about a thousand buffaloes a year for their skins.

A Resourceful Scot

From the London Telegraph.
 A Scottish tourist walking about the streets of Paris, some distance from his hotel, found he had taken the wrong turning. and. to make things worse, he couldn't through ignorance of the language. ask the way. Then happy thought struck him. By dint of signs he concluded a bargain with a fruit hawker for basketfm If gooseberries, and then, to the amaze : ment of everybody, went about shout ing:
 Fine Scotch grossets A penny d pun"
 This went on for while, till a fel. low countryman rushed forward and asked
 Man, dye think ye're in the streets of Glesca. that ye gang about like d madman crying grossets?"
 "Ech," replied the hawker, with q sense of relief; we're just the man I was looking for. Dye ken the way to the --hotel?"

Adventures of Bible Statesmen

From the London Mall.
 The dangers and humors of the life of the Bible colporters-the men and women agents of the British Foreign Bible society who sell the Scriptures In the scattered villages of nearly ev- cry country in the world-are modestIy recorded in the report issued few days ago.
 In South India last year a colporter caught sight of a tiger crossing his path. In Burma a colporter came face to face with leopard. Tn Peru town Bible seller was cruelty beaten by fanaticai opponents. In the insurrec- ton in Persia a colporter was arrested and charged with being either a spy or an assassin.
 On the other hand, the colporters have experiences which relieve the hardships of their task An old woman in France bought a copy because her fancy was struck with the name Ma thaniel which occurred In chapter read to her by the seller She thought the name very pleasing and decided to propose it for grandson who was not yet baptized.
 Curious bargains are often struck by these Bible sellers. Eggs are a frequent currency. In Roumanian village colporter bartered a Bible for hen. It was a very excellent hen, go he added New Testament. For four yards of homemade linen he dis posed of another Bible. Ten eggs and "a lump of bacon' was the price of one Fible in a Hungarian village. In Northern Hungary a farmer gave a live pig for a large Bible. A rabbit vas an exchange in one Spanish will lage, and quantity of preserved pep pers and tomatoes in another.
 An Arab woman In Fez insisted on giving her silver ring for a Bible, and af q neighboring town a Gospel was exchanged for a pail of water for the cciporter's horse. Tn Korea payment 1as taken in potatoes. These the col porter traded for rice in a market tea rsiIes away. The rice provided him ~ifh food for several days. In another y.iiaae a man. too poor to pay in coin, barfsred a vine, tho inner bark Of which Is used locally in making ropes. Tn some parts of Southern Brazil eggs, fowls. fruit, coffee. cabbages, bread and brick sugar are exchanged for BiiIes
 The society's list of versions of the Scriptures now includes the names of iio distinct forms of speech.

they asked themselves. The movies was the answer. All right, let's get joh with the movies" And forthwith the of fees of the moving picture companies were invaded by the players of the regular stage. And they were hired on the spot, too. The consequence Is today that. un-
 less you have had regular stage expe- rence, it is uselsss To apply to the nov

GETTING BASEBALL
 NEWS IN LONDON.
Americans Troubles During
 the Worlds Series
HATED NEWSPAPERS
Try as He Would He Could Find No News on Subject Which Had All America by
 the Ears
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Asserted confidently that you can get anything you want in London. Tho American believed him. The Englishman looked like a man who had wanted pret- ty nearly everything and got it; there's fore, his word seemed reliable testimony. Within 24 hours it had been sadly falsi- fed. You cannot get baseball news in London.
 The American tried hard enough. A two-line paragraph tucked away in the financial news in a morning paper re- minded him that 1t was his immediate requirement. The paragraph stated that Wall street would be practically desert ed village that day owing to the first of the worlds series ball games between the New York Giants and Boston Red sox Allowing for difference in time, the American restrained his impatience until o'clock in the evening, tiasf he began his bombardment Of places where Ameri- can news Is accorded a favorable reeep ton. He fired his first shot at hotel porter
 Any bulletins in yet?s' the American asked.
 Now, the hotel porter enjoyed an ig norance of the pressing affairs of this world equaled only by his assumption of omniscience. He had not the slightest nction why anybody should want bulle- tin or what was going on to occasion one, but seeing that the American was expect ing a bulletin he said:
 T think so, sir. I think one came in, sir, about minutes ago
 The American chuckled. By jinks, ' he said, that's quick work. Never again will accuse these Johnnles of be- ing slow. They're not getting them much quicker than that in Park Row
 He sprinred ahead Of the porter lack to the far end of the lobby where sev- eral men were congregated around line of typewriting lacked up on a black board The American was too short and too fat to get near enough to read the typewriting, but the man in front of him obligingly told him what it said
 Better this evening. Temperature 9S pulse normal Probably out tomorrow"
 There's no sense in that" said the American. They'll be out tonight if they're going to be out at all, and as to their temperature and pulse being nor mal-welll'
 There followed an awful silence Then, There seems to be a slight misunder standing said the front gentleman, with great dignity. This is a report of MT Asquith's health. If you were looking for something else-''
