daughter fell in love with two young
men that she met in Paris. 1t was
customary in foreign countries for
parents to nam the young man that
their daughter is to marry. The
mother likes one of these men, and
the father the other. Each one is try
ing to do something better than the
other to impress the girls parents.
The one young man. Armand, tries to
win the fathers favor by trying to dc
things for him, but the other. Daniel

character, let's the father do things
for him.
Armand succeeds in pulling the ia

Daniel a few days after manages L
slip and to give the proposed father
in-law an opportunity to save his lif'
in a like manner Then he arranges
to have a photograph made of thi.
incident and also an account of it pub.

point Daniel is very much elated ovel
his success when he makes the fau,
pas by boasting of his plan to Ar.

by the father.
The father then arrives on the scene

BASKETBALL

Tonight the Humboldt County High
boys team will play the Battle Noun
tain boys team. The Battle Mountain
team is reported as being very strong
and swift. Since the Lovelock game
Stew. Erskine has been coaching the
boys. AS Stew. is familiar with all
the fine points of the game it is ex-
pected that the boys will make a good
showing in Battle Mountain. The
Lovelock games were lost due to the
fact that Lovelock has an unusually
tall center. 1t is hoped that Battle
Mountain is not so fortunate.

PAULINE IN CAIRO.

On the list Of March, about mid

the harbor Of Alexandria. Pauline, at
the rail, watched the clearing outline
of mosques and minarets. as the beau
tiful city became visible. 1t was a
g~listening, dazzling strip, between the
deep blue of the sea and the azure OF
the sky, and, breathless with delight,
she gazed at the shining sunlit pic

Then the Arab pilot anne aboard,
and soon Pauline found herself in a
shore boat, swiftly making for the
quay. She knew Loria would meet
her at Alexandria, she had had a tele-
gram at Naples to that effect, and she
thrilled with pleasure at thought of
seeing wonderful Egypt with him.
Landing, she was bewildered by the
crowd Of strange locking people, ma
tiyes, Tourists, officials and porters,
all shouting. running and getting in

Soccer Foot Ball May Become
Leading International Sport
Ancient Gaelic Game Played all Over Europe and in
South American Countries; to Have Worlds Title
Series of Games in Rio de Janeiro to Which United
States Has Entry Invitation.

New York, Aug, Soccer or as
ISOLATION foot bah, game whose
rules were codified at the same time
that base ball first became recog-
nized as sport i'll the United
States, has become to all intents
and purposes an international sport,
played in virtually every country
of the world and increasing its fol-
lowers year by year. Soccer foot
ball, which was first played in Eng
land and then on the continent, has
in some 40 or 50 years obtained q
foothold practically the world
round, and nowhere has it attained
greater popularity than in South
America, where the various series of
championship games, cup ties
they are called in England, closely
resemble the English system.
There is no apparent reason why
soccer abroad has outstripped base
ball in America as sport except
that every Briton took the game
with him when he went to foreign
country on business or pleasure and
upon playing it, Its growth
therefore has been due to this Till
ostentatious missionary work, which
has done infinitely more to estab-
fish it as a sport than have the world
tours made by the big league base
bail teams which from time to time
have spent winter globe trotting.
Perhaps the development of SOC
Ger in South America, and especially
in Brazil, presents an object lesson
for those who would like to see
base ball become the International
sport. In Brazil, British residents
and Brazilian boys returning from
school in England have been respon-
sible for this rapid spread. The
game was first played in the South
country IS or Is years
ago and in that time it has swept
aside lawn tennis, swimming and
rowing, which had. gained some
measure of popularity. There never
