MOL. THOMAS NEWCOME, the
. hero of ArgOm, and of Bhart-

~ pour, had loved the beautiful
LeOnore de Blois, but having incurred
the wrath of his stepmother, he fed
TO India to carve out his career. There
he had married the widow, Mrs. Casey,
and few years later sent their son
Give to England. He RECALLED the
ladies of the regiment with Gives let
tiers; sporting young men would give
or take odds that the colonel would
mention Gives name once before five
minutes, or three times in ten min
utes. But those who laughed at Gives
father laughed very kindly.
At last the happy time came for
which the colonel had been longing,
and he took leave of his regiment. In
England he had in his family circle
two half brothers, Sir Brian, who had
married Lady Ann, daughter Of the
Earl Of Kew, and HObsOn Newcome.
One morning at breakfast while Sir
Brian champed his dry toast, Barnes,
the son, said to- his sister Ethel: my
uncle, the colonel of sepoys, and his
amiable son have been paying visit
to Newcome."
"You are always sneering about our
uncle" broke In Ethel, 'and saying
unkind things about Give. Our uncle
Is a dear, good, kind man, and love
him."
At Hobson Newcome's and elsewhere
the family party often assembled, the
colonel, his friend Mr.. Binnie and Bin
MES sister, Mrs. Mackenzie with her
daughter Rosey, Sir Brian and Lady
Ann, and Give who had become a
painter. From one of these parties

but eager in friendship, ardent in life
At twenty-one he owned and managed q
London newspaper, at twenty five he was
penniless;- after scattering comfortable
fortune. But he had bought experience
invaluable to the young journalist, price
less to the novelist.
Thackeray's astonishing versatility was
early realized. He aspired to illustrate
Dickens novels; he wrote travel sketches,
stories, ballads and burlesQues.

was the history Of a rascal; but, in the
most fascinating of feminine rascals,

"Pendennis" Qs49-50 was, like Dickens

Thackeray reluctantly to the lecture field.

did to the satisfaction of the three
judges.
Following the counting of the
game a banquet, prepared by the
ladies' of the Altar Society Of the
Catholic church was served at the
Masonic Hall. Most of the hunt
ers had been out all day long and
had nothing to eat except cold
lunch at noon following and very
early breakfast in the morning.
What they did to the big spread
put on by the ladies would have
made their wives ashamed of them
had they been present. The sup
per consisted of roast turkey and
all the good things that go to
make up a regular Thanksgiving
dinner. The ladies certainly did
themselvs proud in the prepara-
ton and service of the banquet.
Certainly. everything was there

O. K. Whitney presided, and
after the dinner several of the
mighty hunters were called upon
20 give an account of their ex-
oeriences. Mr.. Wairole explained
how he had ACCOMPLISHED the vic
ory and Mr.. McAllster explained
the several things that contribut-
ed to the defeat of his side, and
expressed a willingness to have

THE BIG HUNT WEDNESDAY
Team Captained BY Mayor Walpole
Victorious Not As Much
Game As Expeeted-Losers
Pay for Banquet

The big hunt is over. Coyotes,
rabbits, magpies and such other
game as remains at large in the
country may again go their ac-
customed ways in peace. 1t is the
opinion of many of the hunters,
that most of these animals were
forewarned and had left their us
ual haunts before the date adver-
tised.
Anyway there did not seem to
ho as much game brought In by
the several bands of hunters as
was expected Several of the par
ties who were expected to bring
the big game, such as wolves and
coyotes did not have any luck and
were compelled to- return with on
ly a few measly magpies or prai-
RE dogs.
Three coyotes were brought in
by members of the Walpole side.
One was bagged by a party~con-
sisting of Kid Eagers. Irwin Lins,
Dick Williams, and Mr.. Warden
and Mr.. Rinehart, the last two
named of Wall. George O'Connell
brought in two coyotes, both of
them having been secured by him
with his trusty Ford and double
barrell shot gun. To him also be-
longs fhe honor of the highest
score, 100 points. The second high
est score was registered by E. S.
Goff, with Al.
The Walpoie side had a complete
score of 385 points while their OBJ
ronents under direction of f j.
McAllister, were only able to ac-
cumulate 152.
A fourth coyote WIS brought in
hv Joe Rogers and Hal Wheaton
This fellow came on the end of a
chain. One of the judges aues
toned them regarding the method
Of his capture and whether or not
1t was in accordance with the rules
of the game. While Joe was ex-
planning how they had chased him
over steep bank and into hole
and how Hal had offered him ten
dollars if he would get him alive
the coyote proceeded to make
friends with everybody, and Joe
looked around and found that he
had jumped up into the lap OF
Chief Murphy and was trying to
lick his hand. 1t was then neces-
sary for Joe to explain how he
was able to tame a coyote to this

ter had expired, and when he had
been replaced by a democrat III
Offices of this class. 1t was strange
that the need of extending the
civil service to postmasters, was
not seen along about March 1913.
Aside from all partisan interests,
the Pioneer-Review is inclined to
believe that all third class post
masters, and possibly second class
should remain under the civil SER
vice. But that has never been
democratic doctrine when re-
publican administration was COM
ing into power.

Well, we shall have a fisherman
for president of the United States
again. 1t carries us back to the
good old human days of Grover
Cleveland. Old Grover, peace to
his soul, would sit in the stern of
fat-bottom boat and spit tobac-
co juice into the peaceful waters
while he angled for bass through
the whole afternoon. We have had
molly lot of presidnts since his
| day Mckinley was no sportsman.
Roosevelt was a big game hunter.
Fishing was not spectacular
enough for him. He went in for
elephants and lions, but John Bur-
'roughs has pointed out that fish
ing, the sport of the quiet con-
templative man, made no appeal
to Roosevelt. If Wilson hears the
call of the real outdoors, we have
never heard of it. But here comes
another fisherman. Like Cleveland
he too, chews tobacco. Here's
strength to his casting arm. May
he land the big fish.

lose, its simply a matter of dig
ging in, It's as easy to pull as to
balk. Success isn't won by sitting
around, you must loosen your col
lar and hop right in with your jaw
set firm and lifted chin. Never
day but millions of tasks are un-
begun, comfort and ease, fame
and wealth are waiting ahead for
the one who dare get in to the
game and play your part. This is
the time to take chance. Step
to the plate and try for a strike,
a one base hit beats striking out.
What man has done can be done
again, there's room at the top for
everyone. Tackle the job and walk
right to it, never lay down tell
you've won. Slackers never get
very far, only the runs that are IN
are the ones that count. Tighten
your belt and try for the best pull
from the bunch that says you
can't, forget the loafer who trails
along. Remember, to fail is not a
sin, if you fairly and squarely
played your part and when the
bell is rung on the final day and
your down at the office getting
your pay 1t will matter little if
you lost or won if you played the
game and not just stuck around.

they know, but Joe seems not to

twice recently with reference to
