Sioux Fails Press: The Mitchell Re-
publican still hss the dumps over the
loss of the championship cart by its
team at the late tournament, and it feels
so bad that it cannot, or wall moi, tell
the truth. The following is clipped from
it's issue ct "Wednesday in reference to
an article that appeared in the Press
Tuesday morning:
"Ihe Sioux Falls paper 'corroborates
the statement of the Republican, made
on the authority of the Mitchell team,
b Vt the whole matter was referred TO
the new board of control. The Republi-
can would respectfully ask the belliger-
emit young nan in the Sioux Falls Press
what under the sun the new board OF
control has to do with q matter that was
settled definitely by the old board CT
control? Who's o liar, anyhow"
In regard TO the first part OF the
article The Press would say that it never
claimed that the whole matter 1.-THE
championship rscs) had been referred TO
the new board OF control. What the
Press said was that Mitchell was told
that is il she "felt aggriyed she could
bring the matter up at the winter meet
ing Of the new board of control" and
there is no law on earth to prevent hei
doing 80. But that is all the good il
will do her. The new board of control
has about IS much to do with this mat,
ter as the president of the United States
has with controlling the affairs OF Eng
land. III the matter was to be referred
to the new board OF control why was the
the cash prize that goes with the win
ming of the cart also paid over to Yank'
toa? For the benefit of the Republican
it might be stated that Mitchell has moi
two or three members of the board o.
control this year. AS to the Republican,
question "who's the liar, any way ?" LEI
any fair minded person read the above
extract and the question is very readil,

Night Sessions In Congress.

"Night sessions for debate only" are
the greatest curiosities of o congressional
session. No vote can be taken at them
and no call for q quorum made, and as o
consequence very few members attend Y
cept those who are to speak. The gal
leries are always empty except for the
regular crowd of hearers who huddfe in
the mems seats near the clock, and even
the pages and ~doorkeepers talk politics in
the lobby to keep themselves awake until
the lights go out. There have been in
stances where the member who was
speaking had no audience at all, and on
one occasion after a debater had got
through and left the hall the sleepy chair
man had to send q page afer him to bring
him back and adjourn the committee.
There had been no one else In the house
while he was speaking, and when he left
he took the committee with him. The
chairman could not get it adjourn d be-
cause there was no one to make the mo.
ton, and rather than stay up all night he
brought the member back. It is needless
to say that there was no objection to the
adjournment, and that the motion was

A Trick of Coin Tossing.

man walked into an uptown saloo1
the other day and called for a glass o
beer. He fished a new silver dollar from
his pocket, spun it on the counter, ant
offered to bet the bartender the beer tina
1t would turn up heads. The bartender
took the bet and won it, for tails were III
when the coin settled. A well dressed
countryman by the bar looked Interested
and the mar exclaimed pettishly that he
would call the text spin for q dollar.
Done" said the c~ountryman. The
man spun the dollar, called tails and
won.
"Mere luck. said the countryman, dis.
gustedly, "or else a trick. I'll go you an.
other dollar on it if you let me spin it,"
The man assented, and the countryman
spun the dollar. The man called tails,
and tails appeared. AS the countryman,
with an exclamation, turned to go, the
man said, in q ~patronizing tone:
q bet can call it four times out of
Eve"
Five dollars on it, said the country
man, hot1y.
The man put up the money with the
bartender, and. as the c%ountryman spur
Che dollar, called tails i've successive
times. The dollar settled tails four times,
and the man pocketed the bet. Then he
said:
"Look here, greeny, since I've won
seven of your dollars and don't expect to
work this city again very soon, I'll tell
you something you didn't know. When
you spin. q coin the side that has the
heaviest markings will settle at the bot.
tom nine times out of ten. provided the
surface you spin on is perfectly level.
With a new silver dollar you'll win by
calling tails just nine times In ten on the
long run. Other coins don't have such q
difference In weight between the mold.
ngs of the two sides, and amt so certain,
and In old silver dollars the difference Is
lessened by the wearing off of the inscrip
tions. You stick to new silver dollars
work it gently, and you'll have your 81
