stilt walking IL Ancient.

Strange stills are those used by jap
anese and Chinese boys. Instead Of
having side blocks, like the American
boys. they have foot rests mortised on
the silt stick and projecting backward.
These stills can only be used where the
Japanese boys feet are bare, for the
silt stick must be graspcd between the
first ana second toe OF each foot.
Spanish boys are great stilt walkers,
and they invariably use sticks that
reach to the hips and are strongly
bound there as well as ut the ankles.
In some Of the islands OF the south
Pacific ocean very rough sport Is en-
gagged In by boys on stilts. Perchcd
high on their thin support and with
their faces and skins grotcsquely paint

as many as twenty at a time, meet and

Supt. Schmidt returned from Val

we'd as one of the judges on a debate,
and addressed the students of the
school. The debate took place be-
tween the normal school at Moorhead
and that at Valley City, and was a
well fought contest. The subject
was: 'sResolved, that organized
capital is greater menace to the
commonwealth than organized labor
There were three speakers on each
side, those from Valley City being
Jesse Tanner, Will Hutchinson and
John Anderson. All showed surpris-
ing ability in debate, but the Flick
ertails were too strong for the Goph-
ers and won the victory.
The state normal school at Valley
City is making rapid growth in mem
bers and efficiency. Its work is really
excellent, and the legislature made
no mistake in making liberal pro-
vision for needed additional room.

SOME TALK OF BASEBALL.
WILL HAVEA~W1N-
MING BALL TEAM THIS
SEASON.

F.. There seems to be feeling gener-
ally that Jamestown should fix up
the local grounds and have some base
ball this summer. The old team has
been badly demoralized owing to play
ers moving away but it is believed
that there is enough material avail
able to get fairly good team. A
number of games could be arranged
for the season.
The greatest trouble will be in Sc
curing pitcher. Last year the team
had Bert Nierling and he made fine
record. 1t will be hard to find some
one to fill his place.
A number of practice games have
been played by the local teams but a
regular team for the season has not
been organized. 1t is probable that
this will be done shortly and funds
raised for the support Of the team.
The grounds will require some fix
ing up. The grand stand has been
moved by the wind storms and some
expense will be incurred in getting it
back in place.
Citizens of the city are generally in
favor Of the city having a team and
are willing to subscribe to fund for
the support Of the same.
Next Sunday local team will play
the Ypsilanti team and an exciting
time is promised.
