Y. M. c. A.NOTES

In the only game played in the in
door base ball league last night the
Congregational boys forged one game
nearer the championship when they
took the Methodists into camp. Score
II to 9.
The losers were quite submissive
and were easily tanned by the Main
street church boys. The game was
hard fought and not dull moment ex-
perienced as victory had a big mean
ing for either team.
The pitching on both sides was
about even, but the winners took
many liberties on the paths and were
able to tally on throws that should
have cut them of.

Case Not Concluded

Ease moi NOnCiuOGO-
In the case of Waldo B. Merriman
VS.. the Commissioners of Knox county,
the case was not settled by decision
of the supreme court on Tuesday, as
was announced. In this case the
plaintiff, Merriman, sued the commis-
sioners for $1,000 damages to himself
and horse for driving into an excaya-
ton on the public highway in Hilliar
township where the commissioners
were piking. The case went to trial
before Judge Wickham, who took it
away from the jury and directed
verdict for the board of commissioners
on the ground that the allegations of
the petition, even if true, did not state
facts sufficient to constitute a liability
against the county commissioners.
The court OF appeals reversed this rul-
ing and the supreme court on Tues
day affirmed the judgment of the court
of appeals. The case will now go to
the court of common pleas for a new
trial on its merits. The main ques-
ton and in fact the only question ar
gued to the supreme ocurt was the
failure of the petition to state the
character of the public highway on
which the accident happened, as to
whether it was state, county or
township road

HIS FATEFUL letter
By JULIET JENNINGS.

MY dear Miss Burton dictated
Mr.. Rogers to his new stenographer.
Have you got thst?"
Little Miss Smith had got that, but
Mr.. Rogers had discovered during her
three days service in the wooden i'm
porting company that her stenography
was superior only to her spelling and
transcription. However, he was a

out on the world in a benevolent and
self-depreciatory manner.

again, and then he stopped. Miss
Smith, with uplifted pencil. watched
him. He had fallen into daydream,
and the essence Of it was that he
wished be had the strong. clever,
capable Miss Burton to advise him in
the depressed condition Of the wool
importing business.
The new tariff was playing havoc
with his affairs, and two Of his old.

to establish an opposition business.

ashamed Of showing to his friends. Do
the best you can for me. That's ALL"
The last words were addressed to
Miss Smith exclusively, but she con.
scientiously embodied them in the
body Of the letter, which unfortunately
escaped subsequent perusal, because
there was pile of correspondence
that day and Mr.. Rogers picked up
two letters together and only signed
the top one.
The letter duly reached Miss Mary
Burton in London. Miss Burton had
selected particularly fine assortment
OF goods that spring, but when she re-
ceived Mr. Rogers communication she
did not so to Huddersfield. On the
contrary she sat down and stared at
the letter for about FIVE minutes; and
then the strong-minded. capable bust
ness woman burst into tears.
Her employer was evidently going
insane. She had come to regard her
work as something more than employ
ment; she had an interest in the sue
cess Of the business second only to her
interest in Mr.. Rogers. 1t was not
like him to write in that way; in fact
II he were in his right mind he could
not possibly have done so.
A hasty survey Of the situation, and
she decided to take the next boat back
to America, which she duly did.
Meanwhile little Miss Smith was
demonstrating her incapability at ev-
cry turn. Her spelling might have de-
lighted the heart Of Mr.. Carnegie.
! though II went somewhat beyond his
/ own ideas Of reform, but her transcript
ton could have delighted no man.
Miss Smith cherished the idea that
vowels were an immaterial episode in
letter. So that, when Mr.. Rosers'
best customer received a communica-
lion informing him that the goods
which he had ordered had ticking ef.

order. Mr.. Rogers perceived that Miss
smiths days we're numbered. And
when a letter slipped past his scru
tiny gratuitously instructing a large
tailor that he could supply him with
! some fine drool for white waistcoats
(which should have been "drill') Mr.
Rogers sat down to cositate.
Inc result was that, being some
thing OF timorous as well as a Kind
hearted man, he placed a note upo,

How He Could Find Out.

Henry Irving, in his early days,
once played part which in the first
act called for dark stage. In this
darkness he fought with an old earl,
threw him heavily and, when he did
not rise after the loud thud Of his
fall. Irving would cry out:
Great heavens. What have ]
done?"
One night he played the part in q
small English town. A stage hand
was very much impressed with the
play and to him scenes quickly be
came real. So that when Irvins
reached the climax, felled the old earl
to the ground and spoke the line

Thoughts Not Up to Her Locks.

There was one young woman Ia the
oox party at the thea;er who took
no part in the noisy clatter and gissle.
With her gaze fixed upon the stage
she watched the progress of the play.
Indifferent to the gayety around her
except that her delicate, aristocratic,
nnely chiseled features bore a look
OF WEAKNESS and q scornful smile
curied her lips. At last. however, she
turned her head slowly and looked

Mr.. Rogers and Miss Burton were
accustomed to greeting each other
more as old friends, but when Miss
Burton clasped both her employers
hands in hers and asked him, in a
trembling voice, whether he was well.
Mr. Rogers was little startled. More
than that, he was q little pleased at
this evidence Of Miss Burtors regard.

Burton, and stopped.
Something wrong with q letter Of
mine? asked Mr.. Rogers.
This was too much for Miss Burton.
Mr.. Rogers had never seen her In
tears. but now-it must have been q
joke, an underbred joke! He was not
mentally aflicted-that was clear at
glance, and he was acting as though
nothing had occurred.

Miss Burton.
Miss Burton, as your employer, I

far from feeling. And Miss Burton's
answer was remarkably feminine for
such strong-minded woman.
