So the Great Beaver tossed up the
ball. Before 1t could come to the
ground the flying squirrel sprang from
his tree and caught 1t. Then he ran
up to the very top of the tree on which
he had lighted and threw the ball to
the Great Eagle.
Back and forth in the afr went the
ball, whilo the animals down below
ran round and round wondering how
they were to get chance at 1t. From
the Great Eagle the ball was tossed to
the hawk, and when the hawk had car.

1t to the bat. Now, the bat had just
got his wings that morning-the birds
had made them for him out of some
thin pieces of grounding skin which
had been stretched over the head OF
a drum-and he was not quite used to
them.
As the bat darted and lodged
through the air his new wings got
tangled in his hind feet and he had to
drop the ball in order to get them
loosened.

der to the Great Terrapin, who was
coming close behind:
Il will carry it half way, and then
| will toss the ball to you!"
But while the bear was speaking
these words, the fork,tailed martin
came straight down from far above the
tree-tops like a swift arrow, and darted
upon the ball. AS the martin rose
from the ground with the ball he Just
had room to get past the big mouth
Of the rushing bear.
All day the ball game went on. and,
as the sun was going down, the Great
Beaver said that the birds had won.
And when all the birds came to the
place OF roosts for the night the Great
Eagle wouldn't let them go to sleep
until they had found q good reward
for the martin who had saved the ball
for them.
And the best reward they could
think OF was to give the martin q
gourd for nest, and he was SO proud
OF 1t that he has kept II to this day.

Plckllnu Timber.

Timber experts have discovered that
timbers thoroughly soaked in the
brine Of the great Salt Lake OF Utah
are very slow to decay. Piling which
was driven into the bed OF the lake
over forty years ago is still in perfect
condition because the timber is thor.
oughly impregnated with salt. It has
been suggested that timbers may be
soaked in the waters OF the lake and
then be thoroughly covered with creo.

In the very heart of the great bazaar
is the Mosque of Husruf Bey. One
passes through great wall into a
court yard OF stone. where fountain
plays that one may wash in for the
prayers or draw free drinking water,
for elsewhere in Bosnia water is not
free. but is sold. Beyond the fountain a
tree throws its shade and in the
shadow stands the tomb OF the founder
OF the mosque. Good shoppers are
pious folk, and they will drop in here
to offer prayer while on their way
through the bazaar.
The interior Is almost identical with
that OF mosque the walls sloping up
to the dome, with countless inches,
decorated with geometrical designs in
blue and white, for the Koran forbids
the picturing of things animate. An
elegant rug graces the floor and in the
center Of this stands the sarcophagus
Itself, hewn OF marble and covered
over with a green canopy, heavily
worked in gold. At one end of the
tomb immense candles stand, illumi-
mating turban of stone on pedestal
close by, the turban indicating the
grave OF a man. At one side Of the
tomb, little settee is placed. that the
weary shopper may sit in prayer, rest
ing, his eyes on great glass case on
the opposite wall, in which a green
prayer-cloth from Mecca now hangs.
The Coffee Houses.
Among the bazaars are the kavanas,
or Turkish cafe houses. For the poor,

RWV HERE is probably no other city
in Europe that presents such
decided contrasts as Saraieyo,
the Bosnian capital. in which
Archduke Francis Ferdinand
was assassinated. On the one hand
you have great modern governmental
buildings, substantial, artistic, clean
and well.kept, that would do any ma
tion proud to possess and that serve to
tell every conner how Austria kept her
word to govern Bosnia for the very
best OF the province. On the other
hand, in the native quarter, you have
bazaars and kavanas; you meet with
latticed balconies and old,
walled-in court yards and fall afoul OF
deephooded women and fezzed and
turbaned Mussulmen that take you
back to the days of the Arabian Nights.
1t is a strange irony of fate that in
this modern, yet archaic, city the heir
to the Austrian throne should meet his
nemesis.
But even aside from this recent play
Of history Sarajevo is of interest. In
this city Of curious contradictories
there exists the queerest department
store in the world Not alone is this
so because every man, woman and
child In the place is compelled to buy
OF the great institution, but also for
the fact that the most modern systems
are intertwined with those of centuries
passed. This great department store,
which is known as the grand bazaar,
Is run on the system OF individual
shopkeepers housed together in one
great building. There are as many as
a dozen shops Of certain sorts and com.
petition has been overcome by the
strongest kind of unions-the trade
guild-which sets the price of every.
thing and also the minimum TO which
bartering will bring 1t. As a result, in
Sarajeyo there are no professional
shoppers; for when Bosnian has
stated a price he will not and cannot
bulge.

4 p. m.-Punahou ys. Hawaii.

One grand slam by Willis won the
ball game for the army yesterday, and
snatched victory from Maui at the
eleventh hour, or, to speak in diamond
terms, the eighth inning. Said swat
was to left field, and IL the mauka
gate to the grounds hadn't been closed
the ball would probably have holed
out on the Country Club golf links, af-
ter A. Robinson had bungled the stop.
IL should have been single. and
sharp fielding might have cut off Hix-
enbaugh, who was perched on second
when Willis hit. but Robinson let the
ball go through his legs and Willis
completed the circuit This gave the
team a one-run lead, and as there was
nothing doing for the Valley islanders
in the eighth or ninth. the Service ag-
gregation wedged into the win col
umn.
Meyer opened the game for the Maui
team, and in the second inning was
batted TO such good purpose that three
runs, the direct result of three singles
and a two-bagger, crossed the pan.
The Eoldiers had Meyers number, and
he retired 10 the comparative obscur-
fly OF right field, his place on the
mound being taken by Foster Robin
son. Only four hits, two N the eighth
and pair in the ninth, were garnered
from his delivery

sacrificed, and z. Mason hit a snappy
double TO left, scoring Shay. Swinton1

PORTLAND, -ore.-Although he had
been billed in advance heavily and ar
rived here today, Paderewsk1, the pi-
anist, refused to gave a recital. The
pianists reason, as stated by himself,

him in proceeding, and his manager
declared that Paderewski could only
do himself justice when playing be-
fore crowded houses.
A guarantee of $500 had been made
for the Portland concert, and the 10
cal managers declared they would
make this good, but Paderewski re-
manned obdurate, and money was re-
funded to buyers of tickets.
