be some game.

DRAFTING RULES MAY
Be CHANGED THIS YEAR

It would not be surprising to see
some change made in the drafting
rules before next fall Under the
present system the league champions
stand just as good a chance of .oo tain
ing the cream of the draft as does any
other club. During the season the
teams in the first division are usually
the ones whose books show the big
gest profit, so that they are in the best
position to pay big prices for the stars
of the minor leagues before the draft
ing season commences. The closer the
race the more interest it attracts and
the better it is financially for all CON
cerned. 1t is therefore a good bust
ness proposition for the magnates to
strengthen the weaker clubs.
With this end in view several own
are in favor of giving the second
division clubs the first opportunity at
drafted players. If a list of all play
ers for whom drafts were put in was
made and then the taiEenders given
first pick the clubs in seventh position
second pick and SO on, in rotation, the
championship club getting the last
choice, it would not only distribute
the incoming material fairly but would
have tendency materially to
strengthen the weaker teams.

ReauIatinq Price of Books.

The price Of books was once a mat
ter for legislation in England. An act
of 1884, which seems never to have
been repealed, provides that any com
plant regarding the price of books
should be considered by ''the lord cham
berlain, the lord treasurer and the
justices or any two of these and that
those dignitaries should have power
and authority to reform and redress
the enhancing of the prices of printed
books and to limit the prices of the
books and the offenders should lose
and forfeit for every book by them
sold whereof the price be enhanced
the sum of 3s. 6d."-London Mail.

A Wonderful Escape.

Fieschi tried to assassinate King
Louis Philippe Of France in July, 1885.
The king was riding along the lines of
the national guard in the Boulevard du
Temple. There came a crash and
rush of bullets. Louis Philippe's arm
was grazed, his horse was shot in the
neck, Marshal Mortier fell dead and
about thirteen other people were killed
and thirty wounded. Fiesch: had taken
the upper floors of a house several
weeks before and there rugged up an
oaken frame four feet by three feet six
inches, supported on four posts of oak
and itself supporting twenty-five gun
barrels fixed in grooves at various
angles so as to command an area of
twenty-five feet in length and ten feet
in height. When he fired the train of
powder that let off his battery the king
would have been killed if four barrels
had not burst and two missed fire.

THE UBIQUITOUS SEA LION.
He Strayed Long Way From Home
Before He Was Killed.

Before He Was Killed.
The following story is taken from
the American Magazine:
Sunday is a dull day, and the city
editors had a habit of detailing men to
go to the geological gardens and get
animal stories for Monday morning
The reporters got together one Sunday
morning and persuaded the head ami
NAL keeper to let them publish fake
story 1t was rather commonplace,
concerning the alleged escape Of non
existent sea lion from the pool to open
water.
60 Fake said the managing editor as
he read the story Let's make it
good one
E'Thereupon he sent kilograms to ev-
cry country correspondent on that wa
ter or its tributaries, merely inquiring
if anything had been seen of the es-
capped sea lion The response was APP
palling. The correspondents needed
only the hint. That day the sea lion
was seen by at least twenty CORE
spondents, and Berghand printed all
the reports one after another. Thus
spurred, the correspondents went to it
in earnest. The following day the sea
lion was reported at every point with
in 200 miles. The story spread like
rippleS on water. In five days the lion
was sighted over half the world, and
an enthusiast at Southampton cabled
that he was heading toward the north
sea. Then a cruel correspondent up on
Lake Superior killed him and wired
that he was sending the skin as proof.

editor did it himself

The Thing He Remembered.

A young girl OF romantic disposition
sat at dinner next to a man who had
once ro7ved on one of COrnell's greatest
crews She tried to draw him out on
the subject of racing and of the par
ticular contest in which he had cap
tanned the crew in his senior year. Il
suppose" she said, that your most
vivid recollection of that race is OF the
cheers of the crowd as you came
across the finish line?'' He shook his
head. Maybe it was the start which
burned itself on your memory; the rec
objection of the tenseness of the wait
before you heard the starter 5 pistol?'
Again he shook his head What is
the thing in connection with the race
that you remember most distinctly"

picture, a very vivid one, to my mind

THE GlLA MONSTER.
RepuIsive sn LASSts, IL Is Really q
Harmless Creature.

Repu!siWe sn LeSS<s, IL Is Really q
Harmless Creature.
Probably there is no other living
creature more feared by the ignorant
than the ella monster, about which all
manner of weird tales have been told.
It has even been held that the mere
breath of this animal is sufficient to
cause death to the one upon whom it
fell. Scientific inquiry, however fails
TO disclose a single instance wherein
the breath Or even the bite Of this
creature has resulted fatally. The
fact that dissection and microscopic
examination do not reveal any trace of
glands for the secnetion of venom is
sufficient evidence to indicate that this
curious member of the lizard family
has been slandered
Some years ago a civil engineer in
the southwest undertook to settle once
for all the question whether 1.-The mon
ster" was deadly or not. A fine speci-
men was captured and confined in
wire Enclosure. A chicken was obtain
ed, and its feathers were removed in
order that the lizard might have every
opportunity to strike at the breast.
The chicken was then held quite close
to the CHA monster, which soon snap
ped viciously and secured a firm hold
on the fowls breast, retaining this grip
for more than ten minutes. When the
victim was released it was found that
the chickens breastbone had been bro
ken. Nevertheless the fowl quickly
recovered the bone knitting and the
wound healing with no symptoms of
poisoning.
1t is very probable that the reputa-
ton for evil borne by the ella mon
ster is due simply and solely to its
most repuIsive appearance.-Harper's
