THE HOCKEY GAME A TIE
Neither Team Could Do Better
Than Score Two Goals.
The Contest Was One of the Mosa
Exciting Ever Seen at the
Ice Palace

Those who went 10 the Ice Palace last
evening expecting to witness an exciting
game Of hockey were certainly not disau-
pointed. The WashingtonsandR Regents wers
pltted against each other for the second
timethis season, andin view OF their previous
close game, interest ian high in the con-
test last night When the call of time
brought the last struggle to an end the
score stood a tie OF two goals for each
team.
The Regents deserve the greatest cre,Iie
for their strong defensive game, as they
We're considerably lighter than their op-
ponents With team workthey undoubtedly
stand very excellent chance OF defeating
the Washington players
Tine game was called promptly at
O'Clock, and though a series OF very ex-
citing scrmmages occurred in the first
half. no score resulted. Early in the
second half by some pretty team work the
Regents carried the puck in the vicinity OF
their opponents goal and then wimsatt, by
pretty 'lrive shot the first goal amid the
enthusiastic roofing OF the Regent sd
herents-
This score was duplicated a few moments
later, when the Washington players ad-
vanced the puck by rapid work into their
opponents territory, and Mcdonald shot i5
through by clever drive. From this point
until the close OF the game the Regents
played principally on the defensive. ana the
Washington team was unable 10 score

North Line Opened Again.

After being tied up another week the
Milwaukee opened its road between
Mitchell and Aberdeen Wednesday
evening. A snow pillow and freight
train got into Mitchell at $50 o'clock
which was followed by passenger
train, bringing many passengers and
large quantities of mail and express,
which have been waiting for an outlet
from that country for a week. The
passenger was sent back to Aberdeen
that night. Two long freight trains
were sent north yesterday morning
carrying food and fuel tc districts in
the north part of the state which have
been pushed close to get along. The
conductor Of the freight coming down
said that they had hard struggle to
get through the tannels and at Tulare
the engine got off the track. The
snow was thawing considerably and the
track is said to be- covered with slush,
which if it freezes over will undoubted-
ly cause much trouble and will even be
dangerous to run trains.

A well known physician once told a
patient, who he suspected was receiving
too many calls from solicitous friends,
to make stroke with pencil on piece
of paper every time he was asked, elbow
are you today?''
The result for one day was just "a
strokes, and the physician Immediately
gave strict orders that no visitor should
be permitted to enter the siclroom un-
til further notice, remarking to the
nurse that if his patient must be wor-
ried to death there was at least no rea-
son why it should be done in such an
unscientific manner.
Only those who have suffered serious
illness know how trying it is to be re-
quired to answer again and again the
same question, asked by one we'll mean
ing individual after another. 1t would
matter less if visitors contented them
selves with asking just the one question,
but they do not, and the minute details
of ones ailments become peculiarly de-
pressing after few repetitions.

are often invaluable agents in securing
restoration to health. Philadelphia

FILLlNGABULLDOG'S STEETH.
An Operation Which Scranton Dentist
Did With Hesitation, but Success.

A powerful and ferocious bulldog,
owned by DR.. Ward of Scranton, Pa,
enjoys the distinction Of having a big
gold filling in one Of his incisors, and
good many citizens, who have caught
gleam of the gold in his mouth, wonder
how the filling was done. Some think it
was done through hypnotic influence by
the doctor over the dog, while others
insist that it was through the dogs i'm
plicit obedience to his masters COM
mand.
The bulldogs name is Gem. He is as
ugly i'll appearance as prize winner in
q dog show His nose is a mass of wrin-
kles, and his eyes have wicked CLEAN
for any one but his master and Mrs
Ward. His affection for them, however,
knows no bounds. When Gem was dis
covered one day clasping his muzzle be-
tween his paws, rolling over and over
on the floor and moaning, his mouth
was examined, and it was found that
there was a big cavity in one of the in
cisors. 1t was decided that dentist
should be consulted. The dentist found
that it would be necessary to use rub
OSL Sic1ll, tttAAt llG PlOul1SCll W ILL lllS
cavity provided Gem was etherized.
This was done, and the operation was
considered a successful one, although
Gem evidently thought otherwise Some
time afterward the filling came out, and
Gems last state was worse than his
first, for he refused to submit to another
operation with ether. At the first sniff
OF the an9sthetic he not only added
score of wrinkles to those already in his
nose, but showed his teeth in so danger
GUS way that the dentist refused to
proceed. DR.. Ward insisted that he could
make Gem stand on the table and have
the tooth filed without wincing. The
dentist was dubious about trusting his
hand between the brute's jaws, but
finally consented to try.
Gem was put on the table, and his
master stood i'll front Of him, kept his
eyes fixed Oh Gems and told him to
open his mouth. Gem did so, and a rub
ber dam was soon adjusted in place.
The dentist set to work with the instlu-
ment of torture called bur, and one
Of Gems ears went down in threaten
ing way, while the other remained cock
ed. The doctor held one finger raised
and kept his eyes fixed on Gems, that
never wandered from his masters gaze
The attitude of Gems ears proved a
barometer Of his sufferings when the
bur touched spot close to the nerve.
When both ears went down, the dentist
knew he had gone as far as dogs nature
would let him go. Gems eyes never
wandered from the DOCTORS in the u
hours the dentist was at work. Gem
stood the final polishing, and when his
master gave the word for him to get
down from the table Gem danced with
demonstrations Of joy at his release.
Since that day he has no trouble in
masticating the biggest beef bone

ENectual PRAYER.

There is an awful amount of so called
prayer that is only from the throat out
ward; it begins nowhere and ends in
nothing. Such pointless repetitions Of
stereotyped phrases must be as weari-
some to God as they are Improbable to
the utterers. There must be pith, point
and purpose as well as faith in every
effectual prayer. At an evangelistic
meeting for "roughs' over in New
York, when the leader called on some
one to pray, a hard looking character in
the crowd arose and said: "OLord, for
give me for being bad man, and please
excuse me, Lord, from saying any more
now. Amen" He did not need to say
any more. He had told God just what he
wanted. Rev. DR.. Cuyler in Central

Kyle was asked if he would do the same
and he gave evidence of his thorough
integrity by peremptorily refusing. A
committee waited on him to discover
what return he would give. He mere
ly called their attention to an interview
which he had given out in Novem ber
and in which he stated that he believed
the republicans having carried the
country overwhelmingly should be al
lowed to carry out their tariff policy
and give it a fair test, that whether
elected by populist votes or not he
should decline to obstruct. as in his
judgment a deadlock, the rider scheme
and the road agent method were bad
politics and bad citizenship. That was
all, he declined to make any promises
in addition or to deny his manhood.
Then the republicans threw their
votes to him, fret because they knew
him to be absolutely honorable, second
because they preferred him to IL repre-
sentative OF the corrupt and anarchistic
element, third because they desired to
see the state creditably represented at
Washington. a, IA because his rec

That is all. There was nothing un-
der the vote which would not stand

republicans on certain measures be
cause the republicans were right. No
doubt also gratitude had something to

The Whaling Industry.

The trials and tribulations Of the
whaling industry defy the meager JUS
tice which the resources of a single par
agraph affords. A volume might cover
the subject. The difficulty about whal-
ing is the uncertainty Of whales. These
mammals decline to be regulated by any
signal service reporter and refuse in
their migrations to respect precedent or
the ambitions Of the arctic oil works.
The consequence is a skipper may cruise
the northern latitudes, trying conclu-
sions with icebergs and polar bears, en-
dangering life and limb in NANCY old
tub, encountering the perils Of storm,
wave and Eskimo, and all without sight
ing spout or capturing yard of whale
bone. listened recently to the mourn
full "reminiscences Of Captain Green, a
hardy mariner Of much experience, who
after many years of laboring at the oil
industry retired to raisin ranch at
Fresno. Owing to the decline Of raisins.
however, he took to the ocean again,
euipped vessel and sailed into the lat
itudes Of winter There he found an an
tique steam whaler, the Reindeer, and
for two long and weary years they have
kept each other company in the close
knit sisterhood Of misfortune Once dur
ing the second year they sighted a
whale, and Captain Green encompassed
its capture. A bowhead it was, and no
great prize. Tiring Of cold, salt and ill
luck, the twain decided at last to go
south for rest and provisions. They
started together, when something broke
on the Reindeer, and she was condemn
ed to delay until the damage might be
repaired. How the gallant skipper
cursed the misfortune which detained
him among the icebergs! How he rallied
at fate! Two days later school Of
whales hove in sight. The captain and
crew dashed upon them and in four
hours had killed dozen giants, which
meant at ruling prices at least $50, 900
worth of whaiebones. However, it often
happens in the arctic, as in the world,
that the darkest moment of misfortune
is the dusk that preceded the advent Of
prosperity. San Francisco Wave.
