"but did not like to say So"
The girls talked as they walked
along.
Elizabeth Merry said she had
heard that Mrs. Smith, who had
lived in the little gray house, had
received telegram about a year
ago and she had gone away quickly.
'Of course, | don't know what the

The hat was removed, and Tommy
wore it out and met Bob Williams
on time. The hat was always
rather inclined to be flat after that.
Bob wanted Tommy's help to
form a baseball club, and Tommy
went in, heart and soul, for he
loved athletics and those sports.
SO, he and Bob went about getting
boys for the team. All of the boys
were eager to be on the team.
They decided to have game right
then. so they chose sides. Tommy
was chosen captain for the Stars"
and Bob captain for the Bulls.
Fatty" Turner was pitch and
"Brickbat" Minot was catch. Other
boys on the team were Chick"
Russell, Jack Cox, Gus Ralston,
Chief" Miller and other boys less
important. During home run
made by Tommy his hat fell off and
rolled in the dust, which did not
improve its looks any.
After awhile it was decided that
the Bulls" had won, and as every
one was too hot for another game,
the boys all went to their homes.
Tony forgot about his hat, and
when he reached home he found a
note from his mother saying that
she had gone home with Aunt
Mary Louise and would not be
home till tomorrow afternoon.
Tommy visited the larder and
came back with a big piece Of choc-
olate cake. He then settled him
self to read "Bill Rogers in the
West" story which made his
hair stand up on end. His father
called up, saying he would not be
home for supper, but would be
home late at night, as he had bust

It is officially announced that an

archist passengers. The number Of

placed by the department of justice
as approximately 5000. The Kidding
Of the United States of anarchists by
deportation is one Of the best measures
ever undertaken, but to prevent them
from returning will prove difficult
problem, as a lack of vigilance APP
parently exists with the immigration
authorities. 1t would be comparative
~ easy, it seems, for some Of these
enemies to sneak back to America dis
guised and under assumed names.

more, let the immigration department

Senator Nelson has represented Min

to the dictates of his conscience, and
that course has invariably been in the
right direction. He is strong man
in feet the strongest man that this
state has ever sent to Washington to
represent it-and much good has re-

irrespective of party affiliations, are

Merely as an instance Of the prog

attention to the entry of four rainbow
hued fowls at the st. Paul poul-
try show. They were entered by
one of those artist fellows as sspris-
matte chickens from the FIJI islands"
and as such were awarded prizes. It
was later discovered that they were
merely White Wyandottes which had
been artistically colored by their own
er. The discovery was, of course,
hard blow for the expert judges, but
at the same time the "prismatic chick

Lord Grey Defends Our Course.

In long letter to the London Times
Viscount Grey, who has just returned
home after serving as British ambas-
sador to the United States, states that
there are some aspects of the position
in the United States, in relation to the
league of nations, which are not fully
understood in Great Britain. From
personal observations he concludes
that the United States senate is TAX
ing the right course in regard to the
peace treaty and league of nations
covenant He is in favor of reserva-
tions and explains his reasons in de-
tail to the British people through the
columns of the Times. He refers to
the vote Of Great Britain and the Unit
ed States in the league of nations and
says that "any person with the small
est understanding Of public audiences
must realize the feeling created by the
statement that the United States with
several million more English-speaking
citizens than there are in the whole Of
the British empire has only one vote
to Great Britain's six" In every point
in his letter Lord Grey agrees with
the action of the United States senate
in the league of nations matter. IS.
