BALL PLAYERS , AND ICE CREAM Major league baliplayers as a class are about as free from the ordinary weaknesses of the flesh as any body 5 ‘of men in the world. Wine, women and song trouble them very little~ in the playing season, and even their gambling is of that mild and friendly nature which makes it more of a. pastime than a means of enriching oneself. But there is one [great vice among the athletes, one In which comparatively few of them V free. Eating ice cream is this ing. ' lmost without exception the stars of’the game are slaves to frozen dainties of any sort, and in the course of a‘isummer the sixteen clubs in the wo select circuits probably consume Feveral tons of the frigid confections. The Tigers are particularly gripped by this gastronomic vice, and on several .pccasions they have cleaned the hotels "that entertained them of every bit of ice cream, sherbet, punch and frozen pudding. The first day that the Detroit play- ers were in Gulfport, the Great Soujh: ern’s steward laid in just the ordinary supply ofrice cream that he had been accustomed to provide for the number of guests then under the tavern's roof. Before the dinner hour was 45 minutes gold, there wasn't a bit of ice cream in the place. The same thing happened the next evening and therewas loud walls from the men who dined late be cause none of their favorite dessert was forthcoming. Then the steward began to realize that he had a lot of ice cream fiends on his hands and the order for this dish was increased to double the sup- ply that would have been needed were the guests less voracious in one pap tioular direction. ‘ Fully ninety per cent. of the Detroit players eat ice cream for one'meal a day and about .75 per centâ€"these being the real slaves to the foodâ€" take it both for luncheon and dinner. .- Oldest Bank In Canada- To the Bank of Montreal belongs the double satisfaction of having been the first to transact banking business in Canada and of being new the reat- est single institution of its. kin , not only in the Dominion of Canada, but upon the Continent of America. It was founded two years after Waterloo, in 1817.

The V'aich Swindle. The Lindsay Post says ; The Toronto papers on Saturday note the arrest and lining of a gang of Watch swindlers who have been operatâ€" Ouly a. couple of weeks ago a Fcuolou Falls citizen was taken in for $10 on the same deal. The swindle consists in approaching a likely-looking victim, with a story of a railroad man down m his luck, and offer- ing: to sell him his genuine railroad watch for :1 fraction of the cost. A phoney railroad certificate is usually mod to lend Weight to the tale, and the \\'.Ltch,\vorth about $1.50, has a train engraved on the back and has the ap- ,ponrnnce of the genuine article. The watch is sold for anything they can get over five or six dollars. â€"â€"-â€".â€".â€"o-’. )lr.

FITZGERALD, .fifi Qie'rk of lfenelon Falls. l l Hedgehogs as Houseclesners Backwoodsmen, when in camp dur- ing the winter. entertain strange guestsâ€"shedgehogs among them. one woodsman, it appears, on leaving camp on a Saturday afternoon, used to new glect, purposely. to close the door ofl his shack in order that the hedgehog: ‘ might enter and clean his floor. Inasmuch. as the principal. constitu- ents of the camp menu are pork and beans, bacon and other dishes rich in fat. considerable grease is spilled upon the floor in the course of a week, and a hedgehog will risk his noon, at any time, for a bit of fat.’ Just as soon, therefore, as this par- ticular camp was deserted by its oc- cupants, the spiny gluttons w0uld has- ten in, and begin to plane off the sur- face of the floor with their chisel- shsped teeth, eating away all the wood that held a trace of grease. On his return to camp the owner could sweep up, and enjoy the comforts of a clean house for another week. The only serious objection to this method of housecleaning lay in the fact that it was necessary to lay a new camp floor rather frequently. -~‘ Witer Baseball Water baseball is a new gam; originated by~ E. C. Brennan, presi dent of'Tt'he American Life Saving Society. The rules are ‘very simila to those governing regular baseball The battery and batsmen are perched on floating islands, while the base men and flelders support themselve. by clinging t6 cork floats. The fielder. are permitted to either throw or swim with the ball while attempting ti. catch a "runner."
