The best game of the season was
played on Tuesday between the
Ortonville and Morris mines, in the
Morris diamond, resulting in a score
of II to in favor of Morris, Morris
not playing the last half of the ninth
inning. The score was as follows.

Ortonville. ........l 2 0 90 5 OO2- s
The Ortonville club is a very fine
looking, active, vigorous. musculor
lot of young men; and we confess to a
feeling of nervousnessfor Morriswhen
we beheld those Q stsiwarts spread
over the field. Morris was not at its
best, the pitcher, Geo. Stinson had
been sick for week and the catcher,
Harry Drew just left the farm in time
to take hand in the game, but the
fact that they beat the Ortonville club
which has in turn beat all the clubs
west of Us proves that Morris car
beat anything outside the cities, with
little training.

They Got the Scent.

There is misery old lady living
in Oshkosh, says the Times of that
place, who, it is believed, Judging
from circumstances, has chests and
chests of gold secreted in her bGase
somewhere. She is Sc penurious
and hates to part with her money so
bad, that when she is compelled from
absolute necessity to buy the neces-
saries of life she walks to the store
farthest from her house so that she
can keep in her possession the money
that must be spent for food q little
longer and pays for her purchase
with more reluctance than Isaac of
York could command while parting
with his gold.
It is told of this old lady that one
day while counting over some money,
a 5 cent piece dropped in a big wood
box filled with wood, shaving, etc.
she searched for an hour in vain,
and was almost distracted by the
loss, when bright thought struck
her. She would have compile of
boys, who were playing near the
house, seek it. Accordingly, she
called them in and told them that if
they would find the money which
had dropped in the wood-box
she would give them each cent.
The youngsters, eager to earn the
price of a stick of candy, went will
ingly to work, and after hunting for
two hours gave a howl of delight
when they discovered the missing
coin.
The old woman eagerly snatched
it from them, and, after carefully de-
posting. it in her pocket-book,
called them dear little children, and
said they well earned their reward.
She then went into another room,
brought out a bottle that had once
been filed with perfume and gave
each OF the boys scent OF the linger-
ing odor, after which she called them
dear little darlings again, and told
them to run away now and play.
The little fellows were SO over.
whelmed with gratitude at the old
lady's munifcence that they kindly
thanked her in their abstraction.

The Ebb and Flow of the Tide.

Every body knows that the tide
GIBBS and flows twice in twenty four
hours, but people who never seen the
ocean may not know that tho the ebb
and flow occupies the space of twelve
hours, yet it requires hours for it to
recede, and but 5 hours to flow, or
come in. This recollection flashed
into our mind Ii day or two ago while
looking across the street at Jones
lumber yard; but it seems to work
there in inverse ratio. From the
number of teams awaiting their turn
we conclude that the coming in of
lumber 10y railroad which occupies 7
hours, goes out in wagons in hours.
Both are puzzle to us, and we can
not explain the latter phenomenon,
only by concluding that Stevens
county farmers can do more in the
same time than the Gr-at Northern
can.

Pussy Brings Luck to Sailor

If there is anything in the popular
superstition among sailors that ga
cat brings good luck" the voyage of
the British steamship ITALIA will be
a pleasant one. A fine large Maltese
cat went aboard the vessel the day
before she sailed and composediy
curled up on the heavily upholstered
crimson sofa in the officers saloon,
and when the vesse! sailed she was q
contented passenger.
"She is an old traveller" said the
steward. as he stroked her soft fur.
land this is not her first voyage.
Cats like change and they will visit
first one vessel and then another in
port until they find one that suits
them; and they are knowing animal,
and seem to have some intuition
when q vessel is going to sail. Do
think cat brings luck? Oh, yes.
It's good luck to have cat come to
you. Why, that's not a superstition
of sailors alone. Did you ever see q
land lubber that didn't believe it?
That cat will have the best treatment
on board; besides, there's no end to
the rats on board, and the cat will
be useful as we'll as lucky to US"
