An Editor Wins at QuOits.

(COlumbuS (O.) State Journal.) There is no game quite so interest ing and wholesome as pitching horse shoes. Some call them quoits, or discs, but we prefer horseshoes, for that is so farmlike and pastoral that it gives sort of purity and inno- cence to the noble game. It is a nobler game than baseball, football, golf or tennis. 1t requires strength nerve, skill, patience and a good eye. and it abounds with crises that made the jubilance eXhilarating and exalting, far nobler than the physi- cal effects of three-base hit in base ball. One of these crises is the ring CT, an event that creates infinite won- der and applause.
 We made one at the Grand Army picnic. The boys gathered down on the field, near shady slope, while the women clustered about the benches where the feast was. talking tatting and currant jelly. The score was 9 to on a ten-point game. Capt. Cope, our adversary, had just plant ed shoe close to the peg, and every body said that settled it." Just then we sent a gleaming horseshoe through the blue air, and it sang song of triumph as it flew for 1t ringed the peg as beautifully as a humble bee 'perches on clover blos- som. There was a shout of applause which we took in with becoming modesty and then wandered over to the ladies to tell them what the shouting was about.
 Pitching quoitS was one of the popular games of primitive mankind. It embodied all the gentle excite ments of true sport, could be played without expense or ten-acre field: and when it was all over, it left the combatants with serene and content ed minds.

Boston Is in Luck.
(BostOn Post. )

Although the demand has been extra large during the past few weeks the heavy fares that have been dumped upon the new fish pier in South Boston have exceeded the de- mand by tons. Halbut, Salmon. mackerel, butterfish and ground fish are among the kinds that can almost be bought for a song
 Retail buyers can now go into any fish market ask for mackerel for ex- ample tinkers, and purchase six large fish for twenty-five cents, d price the lowest that Bostonians have known in the local fish industry since it was oligina ted.
 Fish has piled so high in Boston that hundreds of barrels have been scld and shipped to European countries, d new industry for Boston fish dealers.
 The only exception to the fish low price has been swordfish, which have been hauled into the pier in small numbers. However, the price of the fish is not exceedingly high, being quoted at seventeen to twenty cents pound. On the other hand, the dealers at the new fish pier are giving away butterfish as the quantity is the largest ever seen on the pier.
 Eat fish" is the slogan that is high cost of living and the fish dealers say that the prices will re- main low for several weeks to come.

TOADSTOOL VICTIMS
 ARE ALMOST CURED
Prompt Action Taken By Hospital Authorities Saves Lives of Four
 People Who Were Poisoned.

Thanks to the skillful treatment given them by the hospital nurses and staff physicians Mr. and Mrs. Frank Tez, of Chestnut street, little six years-old Mary Tez and nine years old Eva Zadowski, who were brought into the local hospital Tuesday after noon suffering from muscarine poi soning brought on by eating toad stools in mistake for mushrooms, will be discharged from that institu- tion tomorrow.
 Their recovery is regarded as re- markable by the nurses and physi- clans and the case of Frank Tez is thought to be especially so. The toad stools were eaten by the family with cucumbers and at , o'clock Tuesday afternoon the husband was taken With excruciating pain in the stom- ach. Shortly after he lapsed into an unconscious condition and was taken to the hospital scarcely breathing. His condition was so bad that even the attending physician did not give any hope for his recovery and his pulse was scarcely distinguishable. At night the mother and daughter and other little girl were brought to the hospital in an unconscious condition.
 Quick action was taken by the nurses and doctors. The stomachs of the patients were pumped out and most of the poisonous toadstools were taken out. Then restoratives were ad- ministered and the sick people placed in bed and carefully watched.
 When the staff doctor made his rounds the next morning he was sur prised to see his four patients sitting up in bed with broad smiles on their faces, wondering where they could be. Aside from an expected weak ness and slight pain in the stomach they had all recovered and will be entirely well by tomorrow.
 Doctors and nurses alike are well pleased with the result of their heroic efforts in these cases and they will go on record as being four of the most remarkable cures ever effected at the local hospital.

Missouri Pacific convertibles went lower than yesterday and slight recovery in Rock Island deben- lures was soon effaced. Standard stocks were little changed. Among specialties Sears Roebuck rose three
 Prices recovered in the later deal ings but soon fell back again, some to the lowest of the day. New Haven, which rose to 53, soon lost half its advantage.
 Renewal of the golf export move ment and filing of the New Haven suit with a recommendation for re- ceivership were the main factors in today's market. The closing was heavy. .#
