Isaac f. Marcosson In EverybOdy's.
like prisoners long immured In the
dark and suddenly hurled into the sun
shine, the people blinked in the strange
light of their unfamiliar emancipation.
The one-time bailiwick of the czars
was a study In scarlet-animate like
an American city during national
convention. It's great thoroughfare-
the Nevski Prospekt-once the Street
of Sacrifice, was now the Highway of
Happiness. Never was there such glad
reunion. It was like the meeting of
lost tribes after much wandering in
the wilderness. Exiles streamed In
from Siberia under the general am
nesty; Jews came forth from their
long restraint, for creed lines were
down; delegations of troops hocked
from the front. Equality was the pass
word that loosed every tongue"

EccIeslastlcs Win War Honors.

War honors have been won by many
French eccleslastlcs who were for
merly professors and scholars In the
French Ecclesiastical college In Rome,
Italy. The college has added to its
Golden Book three nominations Of
the legion of honor, two military med
ais, two medals of honor for service
In combating epldemlcs at the French
front, and more than fifty citations In
the order Of the day for gallantry In
the field. Among the holders of the
legion of honor are the Rev. Father
Catlln, professor at the seminary, a
tall, keen-faced, soldlerly type of priest.
Recently he came to Rome on short
leave after nearly three years fighting,
and Rome, old and Indifferent as she
Is, woke up and rubbed its eyes to
see his tall, spare figure, dressed half
as priest and half as a soldier, taking
the air meditatively on the Pinclan
hill, wearing his legion Of honor cross
and looking like some old picture Of
chiyalry.

Through the medium of a kite

tor. Through its forces, time and
space have been oblite-ated. Whis-
pers carry across the continent
night is turned into day-messages
flash through the air.
And now again through the en-
terprise of man, electricity has
been given a new, and perhaps
greater. work. That the nations
commerce may move swiftly, surely
across the mountains-that travel
may be smooth, clean, thoroughly
enjoyable-the migty spark has
been won from mountain cataracts
to electrify a great railway.
On the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul Railway for 44O miles
through the Belt, Rocky and Bitter
Root mountains, steam has given
place to electricity. Trains are
moved with consummate ease across
the mile-high ramparts Of the
Continental Divide.
And s. successful has been the
operation of these electrified, divi-
sions that the railway is nov elect
rifying the 211 miles Of main line
through the snow-capped Cascades,
Washington.
When next you journey to Spo-
kane. Seattle, Tacoma, Portland

IL Couldn't Be Done

Quite a while ago, when De Nerl was
under the former regime and going badly,
there was a possibility of Jasper turning
Billy Hummer over to the Southwark man
agement for the sum of 81 and buying him
back at the conclusion Of the season for said
ST. There was considerable conjecture over
the deal and one night it was the subject
OF some" debate. II was proven that
there was nothing in the Eastern League
rules to hinder such deal and the writer
was asked If he knew anything 10 stop it,
and answered without hesitation in the
affirmative. The first part of the deal could
be cOnsummated q. X. without any undue
publicity Of the great" sum exchanging
hands for so valuable an acquisition as
Hummer, but the hitch would come when
DE Neri endeavOred TO transfer him back
at the termination of the season, Here is
the obstacle that blocks such move:
Section 10 (2)-On reservation of play
crs ANY member OF the league shall have
the right to sell or dispose of its players
at any time up to February 18th 'and such
players shall not be eligible to play with
the team selling or disposing of them during
the balance Of the season, or the succeeding
season, without the consent of the league"
1t will be seen that when Hummer would
be transferred back II could not be done
without being subject OF league business
and, while the Eastern may have its faults,
the managers are not so lax as not to
flag such a deal.
