CHAPTER w.
Times Have Changed.

The SD OF the Browns had started
for La Ttr on the same day that the
12Sth of the Grays had started for
South La T1r. While the 128th was
going to new scenes, the SD was re-
turning to familiar ground. II had de-
trained I'm the capital Of the province
from which It's ranks had been recruit

on the greensward OF the embankment
to rest. With their talk of home, OF
relatives whom they had met at the
station. and of the changes In the town
was mingled talk of the crisis.
Meanwhile, an aged man was ap-
preaching. At times he would break
into kind of trot that ended, after a
few steps, in shortness of breath. He
was quite withered, his bright eyes
twinkling out Of an area of moth
patches, and he wore frayed uniform
coat with medal on the breast.
'Is this the 53d?" he quavered to
the nearest soldier.
"It certainly is!" some one answered.
Come and join us, veteran!"
"Is Tom-Tom Fragini here7"

who sprang to his feet and leaped to-

| The Hawaii Tuna Fishing Cub Is
an organization of anglers who make
! it their pleasure to go trolling In mo-

the world-the Hawaiian tuna, which

of them may be seen in the local flsh
market weighing $50 pounds.
These are the organizations that
are working with the Ad Club to make
is so pleasant and dlverting to the
visitor to Hawaii that he will never
care to leave these beautiful islands.
Sometimes through one organization,
sometimes through another, and some
times through eoordinated effort OF
all, shark hunts are inaugurated; mo-

large numbers.
EXCURSION PARTIES.
Excursion parties are sent to VISIT

Wnat does this unsurpassed cllmaJe
of even temperatures, cool summers
and warm winters mean to the Wis.
itor?
IL means that Hawaii is a garden
spot for beauti and for health and its
salubrity Is beyond criticism. All the
year round the resident or the visitor
can live outdoors. Bathing is as pop
ular in December and January as in
July and August.
1t means that the visitor coming
from the mainland need make not spe-
cial preparation in the way of clothes.
All that Is required here is ordinary
lightweight clothing-for the men,
fannelsl and light serges; for the wo-
men. shirt.waists and pique. AS a
matter OF fact, fully half the men in
Hawaii wear clothing of the same
weight and material they wear in the
states during the spring, summer and
autumn months.
It means that the man or woman In
delicate health, or affected easily by
quick changes in temperature, need
fear nothing in Hawaii. Even the
extremes are near together. The days
and nights show comparatively little
difference.

The Trail and Mountain Club has
membership of several hundred, and
has spent between $4,000 and $4,000
cutting splendidly graded trails from
the city of Honolulu upward to the
mountain tops, and along ridges more
than 5000 feet above the sea. Sheer

SOMERS AFTER
new MATERIAL
Realizes He Must Secure New
Blood for Team at Once

Cleveland O., June 11.-Magnate
Somers intends to take steps at once
10 strengthen the Maps. The scouts
who are now beating the bushes in
search Of talent have been instructed
to dip up few players for immediate
delivery.
These players will be added to the
Maps if they show sufficient class,
otherwise they win be placed with the
Scouts and one or two of the crack bat
wieldcrs of the latter team transferred
10 the American league club. Somers
has become convinced that the present
team cannot get out of its rut without
an infusion of new blood and ii would
occasion no surprise If two or three
new men were added to the Nap ros-
ter within the next ten days.
There might have been n new Nap

sity of Georgetown shortstop, had

morning, Birmingham having come to
terms with him when the Maps were

as luck would have it, the young col
legian broke his leg i'm the game with
Princeton Saturday.
Whether or not Martin would have
added any strength to the club is a
question. Mike Kahoc. the Washing
ton scout passed him up, but Dr. Lar
kim former Cornell player and coach,
advised birmingham to sign him.
1t is very doubtful if Casey Jones'
the star outfielder OF the Scouts, will
play baseball any more this year. His
injured leg is in bad shape and the club
physician had advised he take no
chances with it for this season.

BILLIARDS HAS
BIG FOLLOWING
$4,000 Billiard Rooms, 100000
Tables, 2,400,0 Players

Harmon +. Davenport who for thir-
ty-four years has been associated with
the Brunswick Bake Collender COM
pany, estimates there are over 10000
billiard rooms in the United States,
and allowing an average of four tables
for each room, this gives n total Of
100000. At an exceedingly low esti-
mate, it takes ten players regulars
and casuals included, to make each
table profitable, giving an aggregate of
100000 soldiers Who WELD the cue.
In Chicago alone there are over 1900
tables, and it is remarkable that in the
loop district, which is not much over
a mile square, there are over 1000 ia =
bles In the clubrooms. hotels and other
places. Every day il is estimated that
over $500 is pent on the game in the
loop district alone. 1t is a big task to
outfit this billiard army.
The killing Of the first elephant has
many thrills for the hunter, but to
those regularly engaged in the ivory
business IL must be to some extent
commonplace. w. Westendarp of
Hamburg, Germany. one of the worlds
leading ivory experts, is authority for
the statement that as high as $4,000
elephants have been killed in a single
year to supply the ivory trade of the
world.
Most of the ivory comes from Africa
i'm what is known as the Zanzibar
trade. Quarterly sales are held i'm
London, and nearly all of the output
is bought privately. A good tusk yields
about three billiard balls, which at the
present time sell at about $14 each, as
compared with $3.50 in 1892.
Roomkeepers neure at least twelve
cues to a table, making the number Of
cues in use run into the million each
year. The cues now are made mostly
of Michigan maple. and the output of
the largest concern in this country
amounts to over 100000 annually.
Most of the slate used for the beds
comes from Vermont, a table taking
about fifteen feet The amount used
every year would produce over forty
miles of sidewalk.
Much of the cloth used is made in
Belgium, the average cost To a table
being 500 and it takes from two to
three cloths a year for well kept
table.
In billiards, as in every other branch
of business. there is desire for the
best, and the roomkeeper who stands
still soon finds himself being distanCed
by the progressive. This is particu-
larry true in regard to the upkeep of
cues, balls and tables, and the player
