From the Denver Post.

From the Denver Post.
PLAY BALL" The old cry echoes Ger the peaceful
vale Of Cherry creek, and from the bleachers
comes a roar as rows OF rooters spring leak:
The batter grasps the willow club, the pitcher
strikes an attitude, the catcher gives his hands
rub, the umpire stands with keen eyes glued
upon the play; the ball has gone, and once
again the seasons on:
Way up the telegraDhfc pole the eager small boy
perches high, and In the fence each knotty
hole-and they are many-frames eye. The
seorecard merchants voice rings out, the voice
through all the winter dumb the peanut ven
ders loudly shout, the kid proclaims his chew
ing gum, and that same cushion Is there
to save our pantalettes from wear.
The knocker with his noisy knock the kicker with
his mnlfsh kick, the talker with his baliy talk
upon the seats flies thick. The ladies'
I'm their smart attire, enthusiasm IN their eyes,
there In bevies to admire and hud the
hands when one Of handsome figure makes
run.
The old excuses are fed to bosses from en-
ployes' Hp: The grandma her dying bed,
the wife at home down with Ia grippe. That
sitting there, the sick wife by her has-
bands side, and how those frauds win blush
and stare To catch their old employers' eyes
lit Ep with hak-amused surprise.
The sarne Is on. the seasons here. the icken bah
mosphere. the runners round the bases tear,
the umpire calls the STRIKES and balls. puts
runners out when they In. heeds the
Footers' angry squalls that they VIII kill him
sure as sin: The seasons here, the same old
muss. and On the seats the same old us.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

The BELT JOURNAL is this week
issued unIgr a new management and is
enlarged and otherwise improved 1t has
long since been our desire to locate in
some prosperous southern locality and
after thorough Investigation decided to
cast our lot in the thriving little city OF
Welsh, and accordingly bought this pa
per
The JOURNALS increased size is only
IN conformity with the growth of the
town. New type, presses, machinery, in
fact an entire new outfit has been pur-
chased and it will be our aim and eff
fort to make the JOURNAL one of the best
local papers in Caucasieu parish. A new
building is now being erected, in which
the new machinery and material will be
installed. Owing to our inability to Sc
cure sufficient Office room we will be
considerably handicapped, however, until
the new building is completed
The JOURNAL will be devoted to the
best interests of the citizens of this
city and surrounding country. We shall
always aid in any enterprise that tenJ
toward the upbuilding of Welsh and as
slst in the promotion and advancement
of the rice, oil and other interests of the
country as far as it is within our power
Without the assistance, aid and pat.
Tonage of the citizens and business mer
of Welsh our best efforts cannot b.
accomplished and the success we hope t.
make of the JOURNAL will not be attain
ed; hence we hope to merit their aic
and encouragement.
The local news department of the pa
per may be much improved if our friend
will inform us of any happenings or oc
eurrences of a local nature that ma.
have failed to come under our observa
ton, which is probable until our ac
quaintance is better established.
We kindly thank those who have s
literally patronized and otherwise a,
sisted us this, our first week.

and if memory serves passed through the normal courses as it then existed. under age and while yet attired in knee pants. He was then taken to St. Louis and shortly after entered Annapolis. Little has been heard from him here since then except that he was rapidly rising and was on board the Oregon in her famous trip around the horn at the outbreak of the Spanish American war.
 And now is learned the story of an- ether Arizona youth who bids fair to do himself and his country honor. In fact he began scoring points when he was four months old, being the first official prize baby of this territory. The young man in question is Herbert MaXson, the nineteen-year-o son of H. B. MaXson. secretary of the Irriga- tion congress, and who was a Phoenix visitor Saturday. Herbert recently visited Prescott while on vacation, with his father and though he entered Annapolis from Nevada, Arizona feels an interest in him as he was born in Tombstone.
 The prize winning incident above re- ferred to occurred in 1885. Mr H. E. MaXson and family, who now live in Reno. NeV.. came over from Tombstone to attend the first meeting of the Ari- zona Agricultural Exposition Associa- tiOn. the only corporation that ever gave evidence of having a soul, for it is the only one that left anything of inn pCrtance behind it when it died. If the figure may be permitted, that soul that still lives is the Phoenix race
 track and it is not improbable that Phoenix would never have had a race track but for the association.
 One of the interesting features of that first fair was a baby show which was advertised far and wide. and among other visitors Mrs. MaXson was prevailed upon to exhibit her baby. He took the prize and that's all there was of it. for him, though the judges, Colonel Christy, E. J. Bennitt and John Y. T. Smith, have never yet been able to square thmeselves with some of the twenty-five other ladies who thought their babies were the best ever. It is now up to Herbert MaXson to become an admiral and prove to those gentle men that their judgment was not mis- placed.
