Last Thursday a party of influential Michigan and Ohio capitalists arrived here for the purpose of in specting ths Ss pphire group of claims on Twelve Mile creek, which was floated last winter in Detroit by Chas. Dempster. The party consisted of N. D. Carpenter and wife, Wallace Franklin, J. A. B jwden and F. p. Hovey, of Detroit, and W. H. Bo***** den, of CincinnattL They were Accompanied by s leading American minis**; expert in ths person cf Wayne Choate, sf Detroit. All the parties are shareholders in the Sap phireGold Mines, ltd,Mr. Carpenter being president. Their visit had to do with the examination of the pre perty previous to commencing development and Mr. Choate was along to pass expert opinion thereon. Thev were met by K. C. Campbell Johnston, engineer for the company, and Chas. Hurlburt, managing director ofthe SIitcau-Republic Co. On Friday tha visitors inspected Uie Sapphire and May groups, on Twelve Mile; an Saturday ths Republic group., on Erin meuntain; en Sunday the Arlington; and on Tuesday again visited ths Twelve Mile sectien. As a result of their visit a small force ef men was »ent up to tbe Sapphire on Sunday to do some stripping, so enabling Mr. Choate te better examine the ground. Upon his report will depend future developments,the idea being te employ about 20 men on the property. So far the visitors liavjk been well pleased with .their pi*/- chase sad are confident of happy results. ■ They, too, have thorouehly enj >y- sd. their trip, being captivated with the scenery and climate.

Tlie rt-c-rd of pa t and present shipments from the division, added to the variousoutside improvements at the suver.il luiuea,constitute in Uitjir opinion a bona lide testimony to the worth of (he dry ore belt. The investment of tlie numerous American companies in the camp is also encouraging to their fellow countrymen; who are being constantly attracted hither by (lie reports of the richness, of the oies. As a mining man of experience and an expert .engineer, Mr. Chuate is greatly taken with the camp, It is his lirst visit to thi** section, though familiar with the Lardeau, Boundary and Kotsland camps. His inspec lions here, together with information gleaned el other claims aud mines, led Mr. Choate to remark that there was every indication of a rich and permanent camp, with undoubted mineral resources. The veins were large and continuous and easily worked and, with proper treatment aceerded the ores, there should be numerous heavy dividend payers. Uo was particularly taken with the Arlington and characterized it as one of the biggest propositions ho had yet seen anywhere, possessingsilver ores of rare combinations and exceptional richness. Asked to what were his impression*-* of the Republic, Mr. Chont* raid lie had not come in to inspect thut property, but he had ne hesitation in classing it as a good thing. There was sufficient oro in sight te warrant the property becomfng s gieat mine, and the results would undoubtedly justify heavy development expenses. In the main shaft he had seen two seams of ore, one four feet wide and tho other 12 lueses, forming a chuto not often equalled for a surface exposure. The values were self evident And he would recommend tbe company to exploit fully their possession, having the ultimate end in view of erecting a mill for treating all their vein matter on the ground and so save extra handling. In brief, Mr. Choate warmly congratulated the Republic people on the appearance of their property, and he certainly stiffened their faith in tho mine. The expressions of tho entire party were eminently complimentary ef the camp and their visit will result beneficially to the locality. draw. During ths life of the bend, several hundred feet of drifting was done, substantial eabin and blacksmith shop erected, and a good trail built. The owners aro also benefitted by the ere car and steel rail in the drift. C. Barber and J.

Province for Laat Tear. The reportjof the minister of mines for ths year ending 31st December last has just been issued. It is gotten ap In the customary style and carries with it no new features. In his report of the Slocan district, Gold Commissioner Chipman has the f.llowing to say: The largest ton nsgs producer in the district Wss the Arlington ains, in ths Slocan City division, which has to its credit 5283 tous. The most prosperous portion ofthe district was undoubtedly the Slocan City division. This prosperity is largely owing to the character ofthe ore, which is mostly ofa dry nature, and consequently the low price obtainable fer lead did not have the same depressing effect on the industry as in tba Slocan division, where the lead silver ores predominate. ll. P. Christie, the local mining recorder reports: Although the office stAtistics show in some branches a decrease compared with those of the previous year, the actual mining done and general progress of tke division is very satisfactory, Springe** CRi-SEir.— The Arlington has employed 80 to 10J men continuously. Several good and substantial buildings and a small sawmill have been erected. The amount of ore shipped was 5280 tons. The Speculator, adjoining tho Arlington and on the same load, bas tutdergone steady development aad has shipped about 10 tons. The bead on this property was .taken up and tike mias is now owned by ths Ricowilabi Mining Uo The Two Fflcndsshipped 40 tons,but little other work haa boon done. The Bias** Prince shipped ahaut 150 tons. Tbls (jr*jp««y haa been stcadil* de vehiped and, has shown up most favorably, the era being a dry silver, which is. much iu demsnd. The Hampton shipped 17 tons and a small amount of development Waa done. The Esmeralda, near the Exchange, has had development done sufficient for a crown grant and has shipped 2 tons. Ths Phoenix and Viking shipped '_''(tons; the bund has been taken up on this property and 500 er 600 feet of development done. The Bondholder has been Worked under lease off and on during the year; about 30 tons of ore was shipped. The Turn arac has been sold and development steadily carried on by 3 or 4 men; Ave tons of ore was shipped. The Exchango has bsen worked a little, under lease, by 2 men, and 5 tons have been shipped; some exceedingly good ore was taken from this claim. Tbo Ottawa was worked by the owners for the last three months of the vear and some exceptionally rich ore encountered whi o drifting on the lower level. On tho Morning Star 700 feet of tunneling was done and aad some free milling quartz exposed. The Republic has been sold by a campany promoted by Charles Dempster; a waggon road has been surveyed and active development is contemplated shortly. Tho Transfer is under bond and is undergoing de velopjiu'iit. Twklvk Milk Ckkkk.—On the Bachelor a 200 foot tunnel was driven, while the Champion and Sap- phiru have been sold lo a company promoted by Chas. Dempster, and R.llnqHUhed th. Tra.af.r. Sidney Norman has relinquished the Transfer group after holding it fer nine months. After visiting the property on Thursday, he sought a further extension of threo months for making the first payment of $.6000, which would fall due en Aug. 1. Failing to somo to an understanding with the owners, he decided to with- development will be started shortly. Tho V & M was worked for about three mouths and shipped about 10 tons of. ore. The Ivy, Myrtle, and Mistletoe have been steadily developed by the owners and A large lodge, carrying good ore, has been opened up. Ten Milk Ckkkk.—Tbo Enterprise has beeu *•• orked by the Enterprise (B.C.) Mines, ltd., continuously and nearly *900 tons of ora shipped; a son* centrator has recently been erected. The Neepawa is nnder bond to on English companv, which is at present developing the property. On the Iron Horse development is being steadily continued. Lkmon Cbkkk.—The Chapleau shipped about 15 tons early In tho year. The company owning tbis property suspended operations in the spring, but the mine is being kept in order by two men and is expected to recommence working soon. Oa thc Kilo group A small force has been at work for tbe last year ou development only; this era is free milling and the result is encouraging. The Legal, which adjoins the Kilo, Is being steadilv developed bv the owners; tho ore ii freeiuilllng, the work done in the last twelve months consists of 300 feet of drift tunnel and It is ex peeled that a mill will bo erected In the spring. On the Rose, adjoining the Legal, a 60-foot shaft has been sunk; the property looks well and bas somo exceedingly high grade oro. The Fourth «.f July wss worked Under lease by a few men through the vear, and shipped 12 tons of ore carrying silver gold values. The Duplex is being worked, under a lease, with very encouraging results; tho surface ore from this claim is considered about the best of its kind in the district. The Alberta, Tail Holt, Howard Fraction, Slocan Chief, Hoodoo, Crusader, Independence, and Hope, besides othera hsve done a certain amount of wr rk and many of them are promising properties. STRUCK UM HASOU. M.r. Imp.rt--.Bt Than Wa* aS th. rirat Antl.lpated. The recent strike on the Mabou claim, just above the Enterprise and Neepawa, is of greater proportions than at first thought. Continuous work has opened up the vein over the bottom portion of the clsim and proves it to be identical with that stripped on the top part two or throe years ago. It was always thought the croppings on top ware those of tlie Neepawa lead, but it turns eat to be another lead paralleling that of thc Neepawa a hundred feet to the east. The various openings new cut and expose tho lead from eud to end of tho cltim and wherever opened pay ore Is seen. Two tunnels have been run 503 feet apart, the lower one being about on the end line of the Neepawa. It is in 18 feet and shows two feet of ere on the hanging wall. Eighteen inches of it averages C4 oz and the other six inches goes above 300 ox. Thc ore is dry in character and earrles much copper, the quartz beiag discolored wiih it. Tbo upper drift is in 20 feet and the full breast is coming In in oro. There is ample tunneling ground for developing tho vein, which will pay handsomely to work, aa shipping ore crops to the surface.

This has been a remarkably heavy week ia ore shipments, no less than 221 tons having boen shipped frona three different properties. It is largely attributable to tho Enterprise, which is putting on an extra spurt, The mine sent ont 140 tons, of which 60 tons wore concentrates, 20 tons were slimes, and 60 tons ore. The ore went to Nelson and the other products to Trail. With this week's shipments the Enterprise figures reach 1060 tons, being an excess of 360 tons over last year's total figures. Seventy tons of ore was sent out by the Arlington and 11 tons to Nelson by tho Fourth of July, whose initial shipment it is for tho year. To date shipments total 3536 tons, or 1000 tons better than the whole of 1900. For 1900 the exports from this division amounted to 2847 tons, made up from 10 properties.

Some ground sluicing is being dene on the London fraction, pait uf the Iron Horse group. A number of men wero added to the force at the Black Prince Tuesday, to do outside-work. A cross ledge Iijta been encountered In the main drift on the Legal. The ore chute is expected behind it. Oscar White came down from Sandon Satuiday to inspect the Lady Franklin group.at the headaf Lemon creek, in which he is interested. A small force of men Is employed at tho Neepawa and it will not be increased until word is received trom England. Half a carload of ore has been sloped out and a full car will be shipped. SNAPS PICKKD CP. Ono of the surprising features of mining life in this division is the carelessness exhibited by soma men in allowing valuable properties to lapse to the crown. Several instances may be cited where claims developed at a cost of thousands of dollars, equipped bv fine buildings and trails,and having line chutes of ere exposed, have been allowed to run out. Only this year two loading properties en Ten Mile were restaked, their owners having failed to keep up the annual assessmen's. Thoy wore the Oregon Citv and Edmonton. The latter in particular is a flrst- class !pre|iosltlon In. 1897 Charley Sanderson, of Edmonton, held tho group at $60,000. A. Q. Ferguson, of Vancouver, spent about $8000 on It and then relinquished his bond. He had been flim-flammed in his work, as the drifts, run under contract, never followed the lead. The property was restaked this spring and consists now of three claims. There is 300 feet of work done, consisting ef tunnoling and crosscuttiag, .besides a 45 foot winze. In this is 8 inches i.f galena, carried all tho wav down, and about 7 tons of the ore is lying on the dump. There is a lino two-story bunkhouse on tho ground, with a blacksmith shop, and tho best of timber and water. Tho vein itself is easily six feet in width, the outcrop- pings being a white spar, and traceable through all the claims, holding ita course between a contact of granite and porphyry. It is a tunneling proposition entirely and most easily worked, thc Enterprise wagon road running within 250 feet of the cabins, tbe .Edmonton is a regular snap. ■jrj>r,-"■•••'•■••'••••, *••■ m mm* ■ THE LADY OP_LYNN By SIR WALTER BESANT.

At thnt hour most of tbe ladles are at morning prayers, and the gentlemen are either at tbe tavern tnklng their morning whet or at the coffee house lu conversation or engaged In some of the sports to which most of them are so much addicted. Lord Fy- liugdale. although the streets nt such an bour are mostly deserted, had lo cross the market place on his way to the captain's bouse lu Hogmnn's lane • nd was therefore carried In a chnlr with the curtains drawn, so as to avoid recognition. He was received by Captain Crowle In the parlor. Kor the occasion the old man had put on bis Sunday suit, wltb white silk stockings, and he wore bis sword, to which, ns lhe former commander of a ship, be Was entitled. "I am come, captain, to receive In person your answer to the message conveyed to you yesterday by uiy embassador. I hope that the message wns delivered faithfully and with due respect." ,'_ "I believe, my lord, with both." "1 assure you. Captain Crowle, that tbe respect I have conceived for your character and loyalty Is more thnn 1 can express In words.

"Vour lordship does me tbe greatest- bonor. My answer Is that I accept In Molly's mune. and Joyfully." "I am delighted. This should be," be added coldly, "the happiest day of my life." • "When we spread the news abroad, everybody In Lynn will feel that tbe greatest honor has been done to the town, as well as to tbis bouse." "Sir, you overrate my position. Still, bowever, we must keep tbe matter secret for a day or two yet 1 engage you. captain, to profound secrecy." "As long as you please, my lord.

Moll** meanwhile was In ber bedroom tn a strange agitation, her color coming and going—now pale, uow blushing -for tbe first time In her life trembling and inclined to swoon. Even for n girl who loves a man it is an event of the greatest Importance and one uever to be forgotten when she consents to make him happy. But when she Is In grievous doubt, torn by tbe consciousness that she does not love the man, that she Is afraid of him, tbat she does not desire the change of rank which he offers aud' that she would far rather remain among her own people—in such a case, I say, her trouble Is great Indeed. However, to do honor to the occasion, she, like the captain, had assumed ber Sunday attire. Her frock, to be sure, was not so line as that ln which she graced the assembly, but It was passable. To my mind she looked more beautiful than ln that splendid dress. At her guardian's summons she slowly descended the stairs. The kitchen door was open. She looked In as she passed. Her mother. Instead of being busy over her housewifery, was sitting ln her chair, her bauds clasped, her eyes closed, her lips moving. She was praying for her daughter. Molly stepped In nnd kissed her. "Mother." she said, "pray that lt may turn out well. I must accept him. Yet 1 doubt Oh, pray for me!"" "Because," her mother murmured ln reply, "the captain cannot help, and Jack ennnot help, and there Is none other that belpetb us but only tbou, O God!" Then Molly turned the handle of the parlor door and entered. "Miss Molly!" Her gallant lover, splendid with his star and bis fine clothes, took her hand, bowed low and kissed her fingers. "You would speak wltb me, my lord." "Yesterday I sent a message to your guardian. I told blm by my messenger that I was entirely overcome by the beauty and the charms and tbe virtues of bis fair ward, and 1 offered, unworthy as I am, my baud and all that goes with It—my rank and title, my possessions and myself." "The captain told me of the message." "I have today received an nnswer from blm. But, although he Is your guardian, I would not presume to consider thnt nnswer as final. I must have your answer as well." "My lord, 1 am but a bumble and a homely person." "Nay, but lovely ns Venus hersejf." "I know uot, since all tbe company have come to Lynn, bow homely and bumble I am ln the eyes of gentlefolk." "You will no longer be cither homely or humble when you nre a countess." "I fear that your friends nmong tbe great will moke your lordship ashamed of your choice." "My friends know me better than to suppose that I can be shamed by their opinion. But, indeed, they have only to seo' you for that opinion to be changed. Once seen by the world, and 'all will envy-and congratulate, the happy possessor of so i*uueb_.beauty." "Tben—are you satisfied .that you are truly In love with me?" "Satisfied?" Ile took ber-hand and kissed It. "How shall I satisfy you on Mils' point? 6y'Whnt*a-»uran<*ey By •what lover's vows?" ' She glanced upward, baaing spoken so far wltb banging head. Her eyes met his. Alas, they were cold and bardl Tbere was no softening Influence of love visible ln those eyes—only resolution and purpose. His eyes were as cold as his forehead aud as hard as his lips. Poor Molly 1 Poor countess! "Is lt not my lord," she asked, "a mere passing fancy? You will be tired of me In a month. You will regret that you did not choose, rather, among the fine ladies who speak your language and follow your manners." "Molly, 1 am a man.wbo does not encourage Idle fancies and passing loves. You will find no change ln mc As 1 am now so I shall be always." Sbe shivered. Tho prospect mads her feel cold. "Then, my lord," sbe said, "I have nothing more to say. I shall not do Justice to your rank, nor shall 1 bring to your house the dignity -wblcb you deserve. Sucb as I nm, tnke me, If you will; or let me go, If you will." "Cun yon doubt Molly?

Tbere was no passion In his kiss, no tenderness lu bis touch, no emotion In his voice. ■' Sucb as be was tben sucb he would always be, and, though the door was closed, Molly seemed to hear again tbe voice of ber mother murmuring, "But only tbou, O Uodl" Her lover drew tbe captain's armchair and placed It'at tbe open win-, dow, wblcb looked Out Into tbe gar den, then filled with dowers, fragrant and beautiful and melodious with tbe humming of many bees. "Sit down. Molly, nnd let as talk." He did not sit down; be stood before her; he walked attout -the room; be played wltb, tbe gold tassels of bis sword. .

But I can soon put the bouse in order fit for your reception." It was be himself and not bis predecessor who bad sold these things. "If lt Is not so fine at first as you would wish, we can soon make It worthy, of you." I have often wondered wbat be intended to do with his bride If things hod gone differently. I am now of opinion that he Intended to take ber to this great country bouse, which, as I have understood, stands in a secluded part of the country, with no near neighbors and no town within reach, anil that he Intended to leave her tbere while he himself .went up to London .to resume tbe old gaming and raking which be desired so much, although they had been bis ruin. Fate, however, prevented this design. "If you desire my happiness, my lord"— "What else Is there in tbo world tbat I should desire?" -"you will take me to that country place and live there. I fear the world of fashion, and 1 bave no wish to Uvo In London. I bavo learned from the Lady Anastasia bow tbe great ladles pass tbelr time." "Everything shall be as you wish, Molly—everything, believe me." He tben, by way of Illustrating this assurance, proposed a tblng which be himself wished. "We must be married Immediately, Molly, because I am called away by affairs of Importance to Gloucestershire. I ought to leave tbls place not later than Saturday." Tbe day was Thursday. "Saturday? We must be married on Saturday?" "Sooner than Saturday. Tomorrow. That will give us time enough to make wbat little preparations may be necessary." "Tomorrow I But we cannot be married so soon.". "Everything Is prepared. I bave the license. We can be married tomorrow.'- "Oh!"- It was nil she could say. "There Is another thing, four guard* Ian would like to make a public ceremony of the wedding. He would bang tbe town witb flags and ring tbe bells and summon the band of the marrowbones and. cleavers, while all tbe world looked on." . "Yes. He is so proud of the marriage that he would like to celebrate It" "And you, Molly?" "I should like to be married with ne one.to look on and no one to know anything about it until It .was over." "Why,, then, Molly — then we are agreed. I was In great fear that you .would not,think with me, My dear. If there Is ona .thing, which I abhor It Is tbe public ceremony' and -the private feasting nnd .merriment with wblcb a wedding .Is accompanied. We do not want the town to" be all agog. We do not want to set alf tongues wagging, -noc do.vve want,to be a show with a grand' triumphal march and a feast'to • last three days afterward. "Can we be private, then?" "Certainly. ( I can arrange everything. Now,'Molly, my plan Is tbls: .We will be married privately In St "Then, Molly"- He bowed low, ntnl without offering to kiss ber this won i.iiiil lover left his mistress and wai , an i.'d home In his chair.

I will return with you, nud wo will then Inform the captain nnd your mother of the Joyful, news. Believe me, when tbey come to think It over they will rejoice to be spared tbe trouble and tbe preparation for a wedding feast" "But 1 cannot deceive tbe captain." "There Is no deception. He bss agreed to the match; be knows that yoo have agreed. There Is oue consideration, Molly, which makes a private marriage necessary. I could not consent to a public wedding or to a wedding feast, because my rank forbids. It would be Impossible for me to Invite any person of. my own position to sucb a feast, and it would be Impossible for me to sit down wltb those persons- worthy, no doubt and honest—whom tbe captain would certainly wish to In* vlte." . Tbls was certainly reasonable and certainly true. Bank must be respected, and a noble earl cannot sit down to feast with merchants, skippers, mates, .parsons and the like. "Tben It shall ,be as your lordship pleases." \\ ' "Bo at the church at O.y be said. "I will provide everything 'pml see that cyerytb't-s.**, Is ready.' for >.ou..'

HE "society" continued to meet, but Irregularly, during this period of excitement wben everybody was busy making money out of the company or Joining In the amusement! or looking on. The coffee house attracted some of the members, the tavern others, the gardens or the long room others. It must be confessed that the Irregularities of attendance and tin* absences and tbe many new topics of discourse caused the evenings to be much more animated than of old, when there would be long periods of slleucc, broken only by some reference to the arrival or departure of a ship, the decease of a townsman or the chauge In the weather. This evening the meeting consisted nt first of the vlcnr and the master of the school only. "We are the faithful remnant," said the vicar, taking bis chair. "The mayor, uo doubt. Is at tbe coffee bouse, the aldermen at the tavern and the doctor lu tho long room. The captain, I take It, is at the elbow of his noble friend." The master of the school hung up his lint nud took'his usual plnce. Then he put bis band into bis pocket. "1 have this day received"— At the same moment the vicar put his bnnd Into bis pocket and began In the same words: "I have this day received"— Both slopped. "I interrupt you, Mr. Pentecrosse," said the vtenr. "Nay, sir; after you." "Let us not stnud'on ceremony, Mr. Pentecrosse. What have you received?" "I have received a letter from London." "Mine Is from Cnnibrldge. You were nbout to speak of your letter?" "It concerns Sam Semple. once my pupil, now secretary to the Ix>rd Fyllngdale, who has his quarters over bend." "What does your correspondent tell you shout Sam? That he Is tbe equal I of Mr. Pope and the superior of Mr. Addison, or that his verses are echoes, ] sound without seuse, trnsh nnd pretense? Cost me n guinea." "The letter is a reply 1 addressed to my cousin, Zncknry Pentecrosse. a bookseller In Little Britain. I asked him to tell me If he could lenru something of the present position nnd reputation of Sam Semple. who gives himself, I understand, grent nlrs nt the coffee house ns n wit of tbe first standing and nn authority In nintters of taste. With your permission. I will proceed to read aloud the iwrtion which concerns our poet. Here is the pns- saco: " 'You nsk me to tell you what I know Of the poet Sam- Semple. 1 do not know. It Is true, all tlm wits and poets, but 1 know fioriie. and tbey know nil those -who. frei|iieut- Dolly's and the Chapter House and the other coffee houses frequented by the poets. None of tbem nt first knew-or hnd heard of the nrtme. At Inst one wns found who had seen s volume bearing this nnme and published by subscription. "Sir." he snld, "'tis the veriest trnsh. A schoolboy should be turned for writing such bad verses." "But." I asked him. "he Is said to be received anil welcomed by the wits." "Tbey must be," be replied. "Ibe wits of Wapplng or the noets of Turuagnln Inne. Tbe man Is not known anywhere." So with tbis I hail to be contented for n lime. Then I enme aCroSs one who knew this would be poet "I wns once myself," be said, "nt my last gtiluen when I met Mr. Samuel Semple. He wns In rags, and ho was well nigh starving. I gave hlin a sixpenny dinner In a cellar, where I myself was dining nt the time. He told ine Hint he had spent the money subscribed for his book lustead of pny- Ing the printer; thnt he was dunned nnd threatened for the debt; tbnt If be wns arrested be must go to tbe Fleet or to one of tho Comptors; tbnt he must then go to the common sldo nnd would then starve— In a word, that be was on his Inst legs. Theso tblngs be told me with tenrs, for Indeed cold and bunger-hebnil noloslgliig-lind brought hlin low. After he bnd enteti his dinner nnd borrowed a shilling bo went nwny, and I saw blm no more fnr sis months, when I met blm In Covent Garden. He was now dresss'd In broadcloth, fnt nnd In good ease. At first ho refused lo recognize bis former companion In misery, but I persisted. He then told me that be bad been so fortunate ns to be of service to my Lord Fvllngilale, luto whose household he bad entered. Hn therefore defied Ids creditors nnd stood nt bed snd board nt Iho house nf his noble pntron. Now, sir. It Is very well known that any service rendered to this nobleman must be of a liaise and dishonorable nature. Such Is the character of tbls most prof- llgnte of lords. A professed rnke and a most notorious gambler, he Is no longer admitted Into the society of those of bis own rank. He frequents halls where the piny Is high, but the players nre doubtful.

BASKET BALL. Bipcri Rotas ■>» Hlayln* <■•"■ "Janus ■»*" "**■ Hiivvi.nl < riiekar.- The main point to bo noted in lenrnin* basket bull. With a view of lieeoiirni* tjn expert, player, is that a straight, clean game must be played. One must, learn to catch ihe 1ml 1 surely, to puss vary quickly, nnd to stop when running n»- full siiet-d uu- nelinlcly upon recci.ing the ball. Tho best wny to receive a ball is by jiinil ing for it nnd landing squarely on both feet. 'Hi's will n*|iiiio n. great deal sif printict- nnd good Judgment so ns not to strike nn opponent and thus be penalized for charging. The game sif bus'.el b0.1l is iv poor giiine indeed il' there i.s much individual playing, hut the giune is improved from a spectator's standpoint, and is faster nnd bettor in every way if there is much quick passing. Theref-.sie. you should endeavor to receive the ball und puss It to one of your own men as m.iffkl*' as possible. The most effectual passing is successful v.ben it is passed from t---« third or fourth man. who, of course, must be in the forward line, und should be close in under thc basket, if possible, whore he will bo free from his sbeck io ret n clear shot, nt tho basket. To pu.*s Lhe ball to a second player does not usually give him a clear shot at the Lasket, but by tho time tbe third or fourth man receives it invariably that man is unchecked and ns'iliing is to hinder him from scoring, if he Is a good shot. Dribbling the ball is a feature of the game which has been largely cut out. because of tho rough' play, but some- times when a pet son gets the ball everyone of his team is .becked und he cannot pass, then a dribble is necessary in order to give the men a chance to get uncovered. The man who is going to dribble very much in tho game shou'd always try to stop the t.nll with one hand, then if you dribble you are at liberty to catch it wilh Icrih hinds and pass, so aa not to violate rule 11, section 18. The next good point in the gnnio is that of quick passing iu from out of touch. When ti'nn is lost by tho players it slows the game down, nnd makes it uninteresting. Another thing, if you are quick in getting the ball in, and yonr men are spiick to receive the ball frs.ui you, you very oftsn can get. in a position unchecked, and thus have a clear try for a coal. If *.hc ball i8 Batted out of touch by vim, do roi struggle fnr the ball when you know it i-hmilil not bo yours, drnp it at once, an.l leave it fnr your opponent and get into your own position. Bo clean und manly, and help your officials in carrying out the spirit of the .game. My next suggestion would be that vs.1. ci.) not practice shooting while Standing still, but practice moving about the floor and shooting tho breast shot, that is. both hands holding the bnll about level with the breast! jumping squarely from both feet, throwing the ball high and dropping it clearly into the basket. I)o not dcpcnsl on the enrrom or ro bound shot from Ihe wall or screen. Inr when you piny on your opponent's territory you will not bs acquainted with these, nnd thus you will be unuble to shoot, but practice throwing the ball high, and getting it into the basket Independent of the surrounding walls or posts Now, in closing, there are Just two things that I would strongly urge upon all who piny the game nnd Intend to play for some timo and aro anxious to bo good players. First, always remember that it is thc man (tho si'ch defeat staring hlin In tho face who becomes rough and ungen- tlemnnly, and begins to play "dirty" ball, lio not ever relinquish ths game until time is up, no matter what tb«). sesire is. and always play the snmo ch an game whether you win or lose. If you lose people will praise you for your manner ol playing, and in ynu/ own self you will feel that your game was cb'iin If you wiri you will rcnli/o that you- have won hon- '■•'Lv.. Tbo last point Is thnt of assisting the oiliclals Do not try to do anything but what Is right. Ds straight If you bat Um ball out of touch do m.t try to get it, leave It for your opponent, If you run with the ball do nol protest the olllcsra' decision, but pass the bnll Immediately to the captain <>f the opposing learn, so that hu may tokc his freo throw. lio not ever addrtM an official unless yssu nro iho captain ol tho team.

A HELPLESS CRIPPLE IS RESTORED TO HEALTH AND STRENGTH Lame Back Had This Man a prisoner '■For a Long Time, But at Laat Ho Found a Cure Though Given Up by the Doctors. Napanee, Ont., .July 14—(Special) —The doctors told Simon Warner that they could do nothing for him. He had tried many medicines and treatments with no good result. He was a helpless cripple with lame back, and for si long time his wife bud to lift him in and out of bed, the pain in bis back was so very severe. In this extremity a friend's advice saved him. This loan hud .suffered wills backache himself, but had been completely cured by Dodd's Kidney Fills, thus when he heard that Mr. Warner was so bad he went to his home and recommended this medicine to him. Mr Warner and his goosl wife wen' at lirst. inclined- to be somewhat doubtful, but here was tho evidence that Dodd's Kidney Fills do cure Lame Hack right before their very eyes in the person of the man who, hud been .cured. Surely R must be true. '.. ' So aRer some deliberation they decided to try, and now they are very much pleased that they did so, for in a- short time Mr. Warner's bnckiuhs' hat) ^.vanished. He grew gradually stronger and better and nt iiresenl enjoys the best all-round good health he has had for many years. There is not a trace of Inme bnck remaining, not c single symptom, and the helpless man who used to be a burden to himself and his wife is now strong and a comfort to his faithful helpmate, He says : "We have used in all about twenty- five boxes of Dodd's Kidney Fills, and given some awny to our neighbors. 1 linsl that when they use a box they themselves are about as strong in their recommendations as we arc. "I can certainly highly recommend •Dodd'a Kidney Fills as a sure cure for Lame Hack, for they cured ine, and T never heard of a worse case." Human knowledge is the parent of doubt.—Grevi lie.
