Davey Defeats Geshell
and Lean in a One
Mile Race.
Making the Mile i'm 3:24.
First social Party or Martha Lodge
Given saturday EveniDg-Large
Number Present.

The race at the Park ice rink on Satur-
day night proved an easy snap for Dayey
and he won the race in 3:24, defeating
(ieshell and Lean in their relay about
three.quarter OF a lap. Geshel skated
the first half OF the mile against Dayey,
but could not begin to keep near him.
After one or two rounds Dayey com
menced TO gain rapidly; Geshell fell IN
turning the corner in the fonrth lap and
shortly afterward Davey passed him.
Davey did not appear to exert himself
much after this, but kept about the same
distance in advance of bis opponent until
the half mile was skated and Lean came
in. He was at a great disadvantage,
bat put up a good race. However, he
could not make any gain on Davey, who
still kept his distance and finished an
easy winner.
Davey skated pretty race and showed
that he had the business down fine. He
turned good corner and lost no time in
getting around. Leans friends claim
that he can put up a. good race as any
if given the proper opportunity.
The boys racesin the afternoon proved
a great deal more interesting than the
one IN the evening and for excitement the
latter race was not in il. The mile race
was run in two sets and won by Joe
Harris in 3:54 with Henry Birk second in
3:57. Birk won his race, but Harris
time was faster and he was given the
race. The half-mle for the smaller boys
was won by DARBY" Holland in 2:23
and Tommie Phillips won the half-mile
race for the older boys in 2:04. The boys
are all proud OF their victories and the
time made, which was certainly good
Manager Ulseth has ordered medals for
the winners and they will be along within

trayed Him.

The relltale Tracks on the Tapestry BE.
trayed Him.
Four or five Washington pastors were
having a pleasant little meeting the
other afternoon at the study of one of
them, and they Were having compare
lively as much fun out of it as that
many FOUNDERS would have had at sa-
loon knee deep in AZ varieties Of tipple.
They were telling Sunday school stories,
as rule, but they swung around after
awhile to temperance.
In my youth in Virginia, said the
host, 1--WE had, what is rare nowadays
to wit, lot of more or less seedy and
shabby genteel old fellows who went
about the country delivering lectures on
temperance and getting out of it only
about so much as would clothe and feed
them. Some Of them were no doubt good
and conscientious men, but among them
were many who, Notwithstanding their
professions, dearly loved to take glass
of something warming to the inner man.
Most of these tipplers were very par
ticular not TO have the rumor get abroad
that they ever tasted the vile stuff, and
when they took their drinks they OBJ
served great secrecy. / remember there
was one whom we thought to be most
abstemious old fellow, and no one
thought he ever tasted a drop, particu-
larly a maiden aunt of mine who lived
with my mother and was as rigid
temperance woman as ever came out of
New England. Ny mother was much
more liberal and wanted always to en-
terrain these workers IL the good cause,
but my aunt had become so suspicious
of ali Of them except this particular one
that be was the only one who could find
nights lodging at our place.
zone night this old chap came to stay
all night, and he had such severe cold
that my mother prescribed rubbing Of
goose grease on his feet and toasting il
in by the fire before he went to bed.
Now, as it happened, in the room where
he slept there was a new carpet which
my aunt had presented to my mother as
birthday gift, and there was an old
fashioned sideboard in the same room,
with a two gallon jug of good whisky
on it, which somebody had forgotten to
put inside and lock up. At 8 o'clock the
black boy carried in the goose grease to
our guest and left him sitting before the
fire.
Just what happened after that no
body knows, but after the guest had de-
parted next morning and the servants
went to straighten up the room they
found tracks innumerable between the
fireplace and the sideboard, and in some
way it was discovered that the old fell
low, afraid Of taking cold, had creased
his socks and toasted the grease into his
feet through them, and while the toast
ing was going on he made regular and
frequent trips to the Jug OF course, If
the tracks ON the carpet had not betrayed
him, no one would have ever noticed by
the jug that he had been drinking out
of 1t. He never came back again, and
don't know whether my aunt was more
| panied over the ruined carpet or over
the ruined idol, for she had the greatest
| confidence in the old man. "-Washing-

Another Visitation.

The two standing committees, what
ever that may mean. to visit the Mar
quette prison and Newberry asylum left
Detroit last Friday and will arrive at
Houghton this evening.
This will have more the appearance OF
a junket, as the committee travels in a
special car and the wives and other mem
bers OF the families OF some OF the com
mittee are said to be OF the party.
They say tbelongest way round is some
times the nearest way; but one can
scarcely see how Houghton can be taken
in on the way from Lansing TO either
Newberry or Marquette.
