Elgin came intent on maintaining amicable relations and did so splen didly. There was nothing to mar the occasion, except, the sloppy grade of ball dished up by the locals. The good natured rivalry between the two teams, between the two classes of rooters, the satisfaction from all sources at the Indicator manipulation by "Joe" Keeney who appeared as the extra man in the lot for the first time, were the only redeeming fea tures as far as La Orande is concern ed. Elgin was playing good ball, and In fact Is much better versed this year having already played several games this season. With La Grande it was different. Many of the players have never seen each other before. The new faces in yesterday's lineup Include a south paw by 'the name of Brown who is employed on the "Walter Pierce ranch, 0. R. & N. Operator Starcher who in times past played with Huntington as back stop, and Young Stacy who bloomed into faster company than back lot teams with a good deal of success. Stacy's base running and apparent inclination to "play ball all the time, branded him as a desirable adjunct to the team. Brown did well, for with no support he and t Starcher did most of the playing. No complaint can be made against them. The old timers, who know better, did not seem to warm up and never, got In. the game. The error column is discour agingly large. However, the fans are willing to give O'Brien another trial as all realized that in the haste of re crulting men, no practice was indulg ed In, no team work was possible, and general disorganization was no ticeable on every hand. On the other band however, there was a general spirit of apathy and dont care in the La Grande ranks which will have to be rooted out before financial back ing is obtainable. The Lineup.

Once In the Hon country you learn th real reason why he is termed the king of beasts. He looks It. Divides, there la the terror he casts over all the brute creation about him. And n. for terror, there Is owe feature of life in East Africa that the traveler never forgets the lion's roaring. To me no other sound in nature is more awe In spiring, more appalling, esiwclally if heard at really close range or among hills, where the echo resounds In Its roiling double bass. Contrary to the common Idea, lions do not confine their thunderous tails to the ulght, euly. Frequently lu open daylight one may be startled by a. sudden outburst. They are a noisy lot too. At night I have heard a band keep up the dire chorus for hours at a time, a blood curdling concert that Lrlngs to mind every tale, fanciful or true, of their daring, of their fierce rapacity and might. It seems, still further, to have an added drendfulness when one is ly ing within the frail walls of a tent, with ouly its canvas between one and the formidable musician. ' Llstcu now! There goes one boom ing In the distance, n roaring obligato that breaks into from six to a dozen calls. From the first to the fourth the volume usually luct eases; then it dies down. At very close quarters one hears the roar melt gradually into a purr, itself diminishing to a growling, discontented mumoie uiui tusta iu about half a minute, or there Is the other sound, equally menacing a soft and suggestive . crunching noise, as though the Least had already settled to a grewsome meal. The lion's voice is mighty, as mighty as his strength. Forget his habits, his love of carrion and his daylight turn of cowardice and you have the impression of a king of beasts a real royalty along the brute creation. Everybody's Magazine.

"This Is like an army," the manager explained when I went to him to as certain by , what system he handled the ' big department store. "The as sistant managers are the generals, the department heads the colonels, the floorwalkers majors, and bo on down the line. Only matters which are out of the ordinary routine are brought to the commander in chief. - "The organization is built on disci pline. Each Individual knows what work he has to do, and If he fails the failure reacts directly upon him. Thus each in turn is responsible to the one above him , until the responsibility reaches this office. In the final analy sis I am responsible to the firm.' If a girl ties a bundle wrong or there is a dispute with a customer I am directly responsible, although I have probably known nothing of the Incident. 1 pass the actual administration of authority and responsibility right down the line until the person who is at fault feels it personally. Doubtless hundreds of things happen in this store every day of which I have no knowledge, and I don't need to know about them.', So long as the man to whom I have dele gated the authority delegates It In turn to some one who knows how to use it properly there is no reason why I should interfere.
