given the station at Billings, Mont.
one of the most important intermediate
stations on the line of the road. He
proved to be hustler for business, a
little too much so for the Northern
Pacific's competitor-the Burlington,
and it complained that he had violated
the agreement between the two roads
at that point in the matter of secur-
ing business, and he was relieved of
station work. Then the Burlington
wanted to employ him at that point,
but the Northern Pacific didn't see it
that way, and gave him the position
of general travelling freight agent, or
solicitor for Montana a division. He
made himself master of the details of

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.
Their Annual Reception ;
CONSPICUOUS Social
Triumph.

The local lodge of Pythian Knights
made marked departure from their
usual birthday celebration, and it
was a brilliant success. thoroughly
enjoyed by the 25O persons present.
Instead of ball and card social, as
has been customary, it took the char
acter of a reception, or social party.
The Knights have recently COM
pleted the decoration of large suite
of rooms, including large banquet
hall, reception and retiring rooms,
which have been beautifully and taste
fully decorated, and they now occupy
all the second floor above the Hansen
and the Billed stores-double the room
they formerly had. The lodge room
and it's accompanying suite passed
under the hands of the decorators at
the same time with the additional
apartments, the whole presenting a
most attractive appearance.
The reception on Monday night,

organization of the lodge, served as a
formal opening of their new quarters.
The rooms had been especially
adorned and trimmed for the occa-
sion, and the tables were as attractive
to the eye as to the palate. The SYM
phony orchestra discussed delightful
music all the evening. The rooms
had been designedly depleted OF chairs
there was not seating conveniences
for third of those present, and the
result was just what was desired.
the merry company kept moving
about, and as an inevitable result
there was sociability not otherwise
attainable.
The table service was, as ever, fine.
At eleven o'clock the company dis
persed keenly alive to the fact that it
was the most enjoyable annual cele-
bration ever given by the Knights,
and as pleasant as could be desired.

A Hustler.

Thomas Hogan of Billings, Mont, a
former resident of this city, has been
the guest of his brother M. Hogan,
during the past week. He was on his
way home fromlChicago, whether he
went to market several carloads of
cattle. Mr.. Hogan came to this city
from Prince Edwards Island about
twenty years ago, mere lad, intent
upon securing employment. he went
to work for the Northern Pacific road
and remained here until he mastered
the details of station work, and was
transferred to lGlenwood, where he
had charge of the station for some
time. Thence he went to Little Falls,
in charge of the company's business
there, and for several years after was
in the general offices of the company

in Chicago, and is now in it's employ,

While somewhat matured by age

hearty now as when boy, and his old
time friends were delighted TO meet
him. He has three children, all boys
in school.

SAUK CENTRE AGAIN.
Our High School Team Wins
the Second Game of Basket
Ball with Little Falls.

Our basket ball team went to Little
Falls on Tuesday last and secured
another victory. This will be the Last
game of the seas on. Our boys have
made splendid record, beating every
high school team of the state with
which they played, and were defeated
but twice during the season-snce at
Fargo, by the high school team of chat
city, which holds the championship of
North Dakota, and once by the ST
Cloud N Normal which holds the champ
ionship for the state of Minnesota,
and they held the ST. Cloud Normals
down to the lowest score made by that
splendid team during the season.
The Little Falls Transcript tells the
story of the game so faithfully and
pleasantly that the HERALD substi-
tutes it for the one prepared for it's
use. 1t says:
The Sank Centre basket ball team
won another game from the local
team on Friday evening. The score
of this game was Is to and is much
more satisfactory to the local players
than when they lost at Sank Centre
by score of 90 to 5. Both teams
played in good form, but it was easily
seen that Sank Centre had Tho b=st
of the game almost from ,l.c "rL, al
though it was even until Sell, the
tall, lanky center, threw q goal be-
fore six minutes of play had passed,
which was followed by one by Kay
within another minute. From that
time the visitors held their lead, al
though the locals missed several times
by narrow margin and Sank Centres
admirers found that the team they
had so easily defeated short time
ago had improved wonderfully. Hen
derson made another goal at the II
minute mark and Frazier, with the
aid of fine team work, scored the first
basket for the locals as the watch
showed II minutes of play. Hender-
son placed another basket in the min
ute following and Lang occupied but
half a minute more in scoring the
second goal for the local team. Kay
succeeded in making the visitors fifth
goal as fifteen minutes of play had
elapsed and the other five minutes was
Elled with sharp team work on both
Sides and the first half closed with
the score 10 to in fav or of the visit
ors. @ -, $50
Before three minutes of play had
been made in the second half Hender-
son scored another goal for the visit
ors, making the score IL to 4. A foul
was called on Collins and Sell threw
a pretty basket, adding one more
point in the visitors favor, Sell
scored the last goal for Sank GENRE
lust as fifteen minutes OF play had
been registered and then there was
nothing doing except sharp encount-
ers between the two teams until foul
was called on Dubois, from which
Frazier scored another basket for the
local team just before the time keeper
renowned the close of the game. The
final score was Is to in favor OF the
visitors.

were quietly accepted and there was
not a hitch throughout the entire

An AIr-Tight Fit.

Mrs. Jennings and her city cousin
were exchanging news of their old
school friends. "How about Lucy
Morse?" asked the cousin. HAS she
kept on growing fatter and fatter?"
"Well, all I'll say is this" said Mrs.
Jennings. "Annie Fall told me last
year that when Lucy sent home from
Nashua, where she was nursing her
uncle, to have silk waist made, An
ME realized she hadn't got any meas
ures; and then she remembered that
the last time Lucy was there she
stood up by the big air-tight stove,
and Annie remarked Ito hersclf) the
resemblance between 'em. And she
took the measure of that air-tight,
and cut in n mite for the waist line
bout as much as knife marks warm
molasses candy-and made the waist
accordingly, sent it on, and Lucy
wrote back it was an elegant fit."-

The Thief of Time.

The emperor of Germany is strict
disciplinarian, and his power makes
the penalty for being lax in his serv-
ice severe and without appeal. For
some time, says an English paper, he
noticed that his barber came always
n few minutes late. Finally the en-
reror gave the delinquent a fine gold
chronometer, and urged him to use
it.
"Have you still the chronometcr '
gave you?'
Eyes, your majesty, here it is" re-
piled the barber, taking it from his
pocket.
''Give it to me-" said the emperor.

you may have this one instead"
So saying he placed the handsome
gold chronometer on his dressing ta-

Mrs. Hay, devoted to the last, per-
suade the girl to reoccupy her old
room and to resume the dress of
civilization. Barring that worsted
hood, she was habited like a chief

embroidered garments, when recap

within the traders door, she had shut

wind ZIP the campaign. This time he
went in saddle, sending his own team
over the range of the Medicine Bow
to carry a convaleScent subaltern to
the side of stricken father; the
sender, ignorant, possibly, of the post
commanders prohibition; ignoring it,
if. as probable, it was known to him.
The good old doctor himself had
bundled the grateful lad and sent
special hospital attendant with him.
Mrs. Dade and her devoted allies up
the row had filled with goodies a
wonderful luncheon basket, while
Mrs. Hay had sent stores of wine for
the use of both invalids, and had
come down herself to see the start,
for, without word indicative of re-
proof, the general had hidden Flint
remove the blockade, simply saying
he would assume all responsibility,
both for Mrs. Hay and the young In
dian girl, given refuge under the
traders roof until the coming of her
own people still out with Stabber's
band. Flint could not fathom it. He
could only obey.
And now, with the general gone and
Beverly Field away, with Hay home
and secluded by orders from all ques-
tioning or other eXtraneous worry,
with the wounded soldiers safely
trundled into hospital, garrison inter
est seemed to center for the time
mainly in that little Ogallala maid
Flint's sole Sioux captive, who was
housed, said the much interrogated
domestic, in Mrs. Hays own room in
stead of Miss Flowers, while the lady
of the house, when she slept at all,
occupied a sofa near her husbands
bedside.
Then came the tidings that Blake,
with the prisoners from No Wood
Creek and Bear Cliff was close at
hand, and everybody looked with
eager eyes for the coming across the
bound convoy-that big village of the
Sioux, with its distinguished captives,
wounded and unwounded; one of the
former, the young sub-chief Eagle
Wing, alias Moreau-one of the latter
self-constituted martyr, since she
was under no official restraint-Nan-
cite Flower, lowering ever about the
litter bearing that sullen and still de-
fiant brave, whose side she refused to
leave.
Not until they reached Fort
Frayne; not until the surgeon, after
careful examination. declared there
was no need of taking Moreau into
hospital-no reason why he should
not be confined in the prison room of
the guardhouse-were they able to
induce the silent. almost desperate
girl to return to her aunt. Not until
Nanette realized that her warrior
was to be housed within wooden walls
