CONFIDENCE SHATTERED.

There is a big joke on some of the

On the beach there is a charming old
man who keeps a curio shop. He has
been an expert mineralogist for 80
years, and is versed in conchology and
geology as well as mineralogy. When
he heard that a lot of New York and
New Jersey school teachers were COM
ing to the convention his heart over
howed with delight at the thought of
the delightful symposiums he would
nave with these learned women who
would appreciate to the full his rare and
curious treasures.
For weeks he busted himself in
leisure moments in carefully brushing.
arranging and classifying his choicest
specimens, many of which he consid-
cred too sacred for the casual gaze of
the ordinary tourist"

acumen OF his prospective visitors was
misplaced may be CLEANED from the fol-
lowing bit of dialogue which he gravely
transmitted to a relative here and was
furnished by the school teacher:

4 Boss Carpenters Queer Way Oi
Discerning Capable
Workmen.

Talking abos t the queer ways some peo-
pie have of sizing up a mans capabilities
for a job, said a resident of Paterson, N.
j., to a Washington Star reporter the other
day, there recently, died in my town a
boss carpenter named Hobart, who had one
question which he always asked of journey
men who applied to him for employment.
If the applicant was found to possess all
the other necessary qualifications Hobart
would ask:
"What are your favorite tunes?'
Why, what do you want to know that
for?"
"You whistle and sing some at your work,
don't you?"
"WeIl, what tunes do you generally whis.
ooh, there's old Hundred and Aud

"Oh, l generally whistle Yankee DOODLE
or The Fishers Hornpipe,' or something of

Fable of the Small Bird.

Wherefore he began to crow Justify, al
though he had nothing much to crow
about.
Now it happened that far above the ban
tam a hawk was wheeling in the circum-
ambient air. The hawk had not seen the
bantam, owing to the ~latter's diminutive
proportions, but when the bantam crowed
had his claws full and was contentedly
winging his flight h~omeward, while all was
still below.

SUCCESS ON THEe FARM.
A Sphinx County Boy Shows That
Farming Can be Made to Pay
by close Application,

One of the best illustrations ever
shown in this state that farming will
pay in South Dakota is demonstrated by
the success of young man up in Sphinx
county, which is told as follows by q
correspondent at Doland:
An interesting example Of what pluck
and perseverance, will do in this north
west country is furnished by young
farmer named Harry Flint, who lives
near Doland. Eleven years ago Mr..
Flint started in, Z msre beardless boy,
to redeem the old homestead. He had
nothing but his hands and " los of gen.
uine grit for capital, but he raised
big mortgage on the place and now
has the old Homestead of 4S0 acres
practically clear. He has in the IL
years added Improvements of about
ST. 900 to The place; gath
cred around him is herd of 100
cattle and has in addition bunch Of
$40 sheep. His yearly income from
| his stock alone ia in the neigh borhood
OF ST. 500 and he has the proceeds OF
his farm besides. His sheep herd be-
gan eleven years ago with five ewes
that he purchased for SO. Since that
time he has not put dollar into the
flock outside of what the sheep them
selves brought him in the way of wool

they had three men on the bases and Q
good hit would have been productive
but the long drives were caught and
the runner on third did not have time
to make home. The side was retired
without the coveted run. In the sew
enth inning Plankinton got in two runs,
and after that they were BANKED.
Mabbott made long drive to the left
foul line which brought in score and
he scored later on q short inield hit,
which could pot be folded fast enough
by Lange to cut him off at the plate.
Mullen Bros. filled the points for Plank
inton, but along toward the close of the
game Gardner was put in the box, and
be was batted about as freely. Robin
son and Taubman were the umpires and
they got through the game without any
injuries.

GOOD WORK FOR HOME TEAM.
Played Ball at Aberdeen and Con-
duct Themselves Like Gem
tlemen During Their Stay.

In referring to the visit OF the Mitch
ell base ball team to Aberdeen the
News. has the following to say in ref
erence to the boys, which is very much
appreciated:
The Aberdeen Mitchell series of ball
games in this city was concluded yes
terday afternoon with the third defeat
for the visitors. Richardson pitched
for the home team and did good work.
The scores of the three games were 9
to 1, 13 to 2 and 8 to l, all in favor of
the Aberdeen team. The Mitchell
boys are good ball players, but they
did not show themselves equal to the
Aberdeenites in the ball field. They
are a 6ne lot of young men, and made q
splendid Impression in this city by tho
gentlemanly conduct which marked
their entire stay here. They won
friends among the people Of the city as
we'll as among the members Of the
Aberdeen team.

The Team Came Home.

Saturday the Mitchell team ar
rived home from Red6eld. They played
the Aberdeen nine a game at Red
field yesterday and were defeated by q
score of 10 to 9, it requiring ten innings
to play the game. They would have
won the last game had it not been for
the rank decisions of the umpire who
took the game away from the boys
twice on decisions that were not in the
least close for the base runner. While
the boys regret the disastrous results
OF the trip they do not feel disheartened
in any way.

A GREAT BALL GAME
KitchelTs Team Played Plankinton Last
Saturday and Came Nearly Shut
ting Them Out.
4 Scratch Hit Was the Means Of Bring
ing the Only Two Runs They
Secured in Game.
The Home Team Was Very Popular at
Aberdeen and Papers Speak
Highly Of the Boys.
SHUT THEM OUT.
Plankinton Had Narrow Escape of
Being Presented With Bas-
ket of Eggs Saturday.

1t was unfortunate that Saturday was
rainy day for it prevented a great
many of the town people from going out
to see the game of ball between Plank
inton and Mitchell. 1t was the first
opportunity shat the Mitchell people
have had OF seeing their team play and
many were desirous of witnessing the
kind of a game the home team could
put up. Had they seen the game we
believe they would have been we'll sat-
isfed with the playing of the boys, for
they certainly played good ball from
start to finish, a great difference being
noticeable in their play than when they
were on the grounds several weeks ago.
Preston, one OF the new pitchers, was
put in the box and Hartman, the new
catcher, went behind the bat and the
two men put up fine game in their
positions. Out in the field the players
gave good support, the work of Scharn-
weber in left deld being particularly
fine. Two or three times he gathered
in some flies that would have counted
for runs but old Scharn was there.
Mackay plays first base like veteran
and no difference how the balls come to
him there is no question but what the
runner is out. Lange put up a good
game at second base and Klock held
down the third bag in an artistic man.
ner, making several neat throws across
the diamond to first and mailing his
man. Nearly all the players we're
handy with the stick and were able to
line out good hits at the right time
Lange got in home run early in the
game and along toward the close of the
game Hartman, Scharnweber and
Klock made three baggers. 1t is ir
this particular point where the boy,
are anxious to excel, for without hits
runs will never be made. Hartman
made a good impression on the fant
with the way in which he caught hil
game and ne will prove valuable ad
dition to the team.
For six innings Plaukinton made
fruitless attempts to score but they
were never able to do it. At one time
