The game last Saturday at the Driving
Park between Dillon's "Our Own and
Murphy's red caps was won by the latter.
Concerning it Keno writes:
Fred. Entler and "Whiskers' Cunning
ham, both tried and true players were
relocated to the bench Both were factors in
making Midland a great base ball team, and
both have occasionally pulled victory out
of what looked like sure defeat. They may
be good enough to play Midlothian, Carlos
or possibly Homecoming, but when really
great team like Frostburg is to be played
they must go away back and sit down"
The Frostburg quartet of the Midland
club played great ball. To them more than
to anyone else is due the Midland victory.
Will Spatcs pitched good ball-the very
best he ever did. and Tom Irwin, catcher,
gave him fine support. The lattcr's throwing
arm was in evidence throughout the entire
game.
Brother Frank at short, did some very ex-
cellent work, and John, in the out-ted, was
Il whole show in himself. The real Midland
players filled in here and there but the actual
playing was done by the Frostburg con-
tingent.
Brown did the twirling for Our Own
and did it well, considering how extremely
poor was his support. This is Browns first
apparent defeat in this locality.
Frank Quinn, of Homecoming, umpired
and though he comes Il little high, he is ls-
karat, Atwood and a yard-wide baseball
tribune. Every man on the Frostburg team
though defeated, was willing to 90 down on
his decision.
The following is the score by

Letter to Mayer Bros,


D,dr SrS-You are makers so are we.
You know what you make; you know all
about it. We know our paint us you know
your goods.
We know what it is, how it acts, what it
does, how it lives, and how long-the con-
ditions being favorable or unfavorable.
1t is fair that we take the risk of it every
way; but we ought not to risk any use or
abuse of it.
Can't draw the line. We are dealing with
strangers. We are strangers to them as they
are strangers to us.
We want to be trusted by them. We
trust them first that the way to get trusted
We trust them to paint with a fair degree of
common paint-knowledge and care. We
expect to be trusted to furnish paint as good
as paint can be, and to last as long as paint
can.
If YOU do your business that way, you
are fellows with us and three of a thousand
\ few mean men in the course of a veal
will abuse our trust and put us to loss but
800 in LOO will tell their friends how true
we are, and our paint is. That's what has
made us the largest paint concern i'll the
world. 1t is our best advertisement

Dams Rock.


have seen a Dams Rock sunset like a vision
in a dream,
When halo was about me and Il glory on
the stream -
When the birds had ceased their music and
the summer day was done,
And silent benediction came a-tloating
from the sun.
And the gold and purple vapors on the
peaceful valley lay
Like the final respiration on the dying
summer day;
And I've gazed upon that atmospheric
splendor of the west
Till it seemed to me Il gateway to the regions
of the blest.
have seen IL Dams Rock sunrise like the
waking of II dream,
When every dewy blade of grass caught up
the golden CLEAN =
When every bird renewed the song it sang
the night before,
And all the silent slumbering world
returned to life once more -
When every burst of radiance called upa
throng of life,
And all the waking, living world with
melody was rife;
And as that flood of light and song came
from Potomac's plain
1t seemed to me those golden gates were
open wide again.

Red Oak. Iowa, Dec. 16, 1901,
Hawkeye Stock Food Co.,
Red Oak, Iowa,
DEAR S1Rs-I am using the Hawkeye
Stock Food Co.'s Poultry Food, and can
say it is the best egg producer have ever
used. An incident that happened late last
spring will illustrate my faith in your
Poultry Food as an egg producer. After
the early egg season was over received
two large orders for eggs and was not
averaging one egg day from my pen. 1
promptly wrote the parties when would
be able to furnish them and they accepted
my offer and began to feed Hawkeye
Poultry good. The third day got three
eggs, fourth five, fifth ten, sixth 22,seventh
%, eighth So, ninth 30, tenth 3S. It is use
less to say the orders were filled on time
withleggs to spare. also made inquiry as
to the per cent of fertile eggs. The first
order was not satisfactory as but few eggs
Matched. The second order Matched well
nearly so per cent fertile. This record
was made by 4S White Wyndotte hens and
like "the old time religion" it is good
enough for me. Yours truly,
JIM. SCOTT.
