About sixty million copies of THE Sun
have gone out of our establishment dur.
lug the past twelve months.
IT. you were to paste end to end all the
columns of all The SUNS printed and sold
last year you would get continuous
strip Of interesting information, common
sense wisdom, sound doctrine, and sane
wit long enough to reach from Print
Ing House Square to the top of Mt.
Copernicus in the moon, then back to
Printing House Square, and then three
quarters Of the way back to the moon
again.
But The Sun is written for the inhabit-
ants of the earth; this same strip of in
telligence would girdle the globe twenty
seven or twenty eight times.
If every buyer of n copy of THE Sun
during the past year has spent only one
hour over it, and if his wife or his grand
father spent another hour, this newspaper
in 1888 has afforded the l.uman race 10000
years of steady reading, night and day.
1t is only by little calculations like these
that you can form any idea of the circula-
ton of the most popular of American
newspapers, or of it's influence on the
opinions and actions of American men
and women.
THE sun is, and will continue to be, a
newspaper which tells the truth without
fear Of consequences, which gets at the
facts no matter how much the process
costs, which presents the news of all the
world without waste Of words and in the
most readable shape, which is working
with all its heart for the cause of honest
government, and which therefore believes
that the Republican party must 60 and
must go in this coming year Of our Lord
1854.
you know THE Sun, you like it al
ready, and yon will read it with accuStom-
cd diligence and profit during what is sure
to be the most interesting year in its his.

Bones"

This is the name under which Dick
Deans dog worries through life down
at the saw mill. Bones is no slouch,
either, though he has been canned
oftener than any other dog in the Judith
range. He is so prejudiced against cans
that he will not even look at canned
meats. He is a cross between grey
hound and bull dog.
On Sunday last Bones" accompanied
his master over to the post to witness
the ball game and was quite active lin
his efforts to keep out of the way) both
behind the bat and in the diamond
which fact scored him abuse. enough to
have broken the heart of an army mule
or indented the cheek of a free lunch
dude. But we started out to say some
thing good of ''Bones," and here it is:
On the departure of the club from
the grounds, Joseph Mason rode Deans
horse and the latter returned to Maiden
in the wagon. Before Mason started,
Dean tied his large white hat to the
saddle, he wearing q cap in its stead.
Mason preceded the wagon by half
hour, and before reaching the mouth
of the gulch the hat worked loose and
dropped to the ground, without his
knowledge, but not so with "Bones," }"
who was following behind, for he
discovered the loss at once and stopped.
When the wagon came along some
time after the faithful dog was found
lying by the roadside with his masters
white hat between his forward paws
He had seen that hat before and was
determined to camp by it. Just how
long he would have remained without
his masters coming is question we
will leave to those orthodox people who
credit dog with nothing but instinct
and feas. The man who will here
after can this dogs tail, is in our opin-
ion beneath the friendly greeting of
the most worthless of the dog creation.

The Maiden Base Ball Club.

The above organization played its
first game of the season with an oppos-
ing nine, at Ft. Maginnis, on Sunday
last The Maginnis team was selected
from the soldiers now stationed at the
garrison, and civilians about the post;
the store of Broadwater, Mcnamara
& Co. adding largely TO the numerical
strength of the nine and very consider
able to their skillful work at the bat
and in the field. The Maidenites had
no easy task, and for the first two
innings it looked very much as though
they would return home with their
"plumes trailing in the dust of defeat
They rallied, however, gained the lead,
which was maintained to the end, with
the following result:
MAIDEN ......~.........3 3 10 Go
MAGINNIS .............5 0-l6
SHORT STOPS.
Smell played first base well.
Jersey is a daisy with the sphere.
Very unkind in you, Mr.. NARROW.
Myres showed up in splendid form.
Deans work behind the bat was very
creditable.
Joe had hard work to keep those
rubbers on.
The scorers are entitled to the thanks
of both clubs.
q. A. was weighted down with too
many initials.
Cub sent the ball over into the Gone
Butte district, for three bags.
Groesbeck gathered a ball in just as
it was about to pass over a cloud.
Mr.. Wasson performed the difficult
feat of umpiring without the aid of u
military guard.
The treatment our club received at
the hands of the Maginnis boys was
very commendable.
The Maiden rightfelder did not catch
a fly. He cauhgt several mosquitoes, TO
our certain knowledge.
Prof. Hinton was present gathering
pointers for the second volume of his
work on Gifts" and "flies."
The post commander witnessed the
gtme for a spell, but the foul tips be-
came to familiar and he went in quest
of solitude.
There was contest between Lieut..
Brett and the sporting editor'' to see
who cor!d knock the biggest hole in the
atmosphere. 1t was a draw.
The Maiden Base Ball Club will play
a nine selected from Cottonwood and
LewistOwn, next Sunday, June 22d, on
on the ground of latter named place.
1t safe to say that had our club Wis
tied the post prior to the departure Of
troops fot the west-among whom were
good ball players - the Maiden club
would not have returned home until
after dark.
