Lost Two Games Straight with Bismarck.

The Dickinson ball team PLAYED in
Bismarck Saturday and Sunday and lost
both games. The first game was not SO
bad and our boys were in the lead up to
the sixth inning, but second game was a
slaughter. Dickinson was badly Grip
pied from the fact that Benzie, Mcbride
Rockwell and Wiloctt could moi ac-
company the team, but it was not known
that they were not going until all arrange
ments had been made to 60 and the local
management did not wish to s'isappoint
Bismarck as arrangements at that end
had been made for excursion sboth south
and north and from Mandan. So our
management took such spare players as
were available at Bismarck to fill out.
Of the first game the Bismarck Tri.
bune said in part: Bismarck defeated
the Dickinson ball team Saturday and
Sunday, taking both of them with com.
parative ease. The game Saturday was
won by a score of 10 to 7. Dickinson
got away we'll the first game, scoring once
in the first inning on a pass to Tremer.
and a long hit by Emerson. In the third
inning they added three more scores,
Tremer getting a pass, lmerson getting
a life on an error, Walker getting a pass.
and Asol making a hit that cleared bases,
Two more runs were made in the fifth
and one other in the seventh.

1 promised the King and his people
that ! would be careful and prudent,
and 1t was agreed that we should set
out for the west shore at sunrise next
morning. If you think 1 did not sleep
sCundly that night you are mistaken.
Although L could not be sure about
1t, l suspected that the sea monster
was only a sea lion after all. I had
seen many sea lions on the rocks near
my home, and while l knew them
t. be fierce and dangerous, 1 also
knew that they were easily killed by
a blow on the head If it was not
sea lion then 1 would fight him some
other way and hope to put an end to
him just the same.

the name of this tale might we'll be
'Satan's Snuff Box but 1 shall not
call 1t that. After you have heard it
you may call it what you please.
Shortly after my godmother gave me
the red flannel night cap my mother
wanted me to go to the village for
some article which she needed about
the house, and so 1 mounted my DON
Key and started off, hoping that l
would have an opportunity to try the
virtue of my godmother's gift. If it
did nothing else. it gave me confidence
IN myself. l was not afraid now to go
to the village, and, in fact, 1 would
not nave been afraid to go to the larg-
est city in the world. 1t was a curious
change, too, for previous to that I had
been very shy of strangers. One rea-
son was my short stature: l knew
very we'll that those who were more
fortunate in the size and shape of their
Inquire were inclined to make sport of
me for an affiiction-if you call it So
which | couldn't help, and the thought
OF 1t gave me great pain, and caused
me to wish many and many a Tins
that 1 might never see a human face
L mean the face of a stranger.
But, somehow or other, 1 had sud-
denly lost that feeling, and so, when
my mother asked me if 1 was afraid
to go to town for her. 1 answered very
bravely that I would be glad to go.
So 1 saddled my donkey and went
along the road whistling a merry tune,

that you came here. for in the course
OF half an hour, your fellows will be
in the hands of the officers of the law
They have already set out from the
town. and as your ruffians are only
trying to conceal themselves from
those who pass along the road in this
direction, they will be finely surprised
by the posse that is searching for
them
Are you a wiZard?' exclaimed the
man. If you are, I ask ten thousand
pardons for disturbing your worship
L am afraid that I had a touch of
vain pride when the fellow assumed
this attitude of humility; and vanity
will make a fool of any one. l lost my
senses for a. moment and became
Doastful- Il have something here l
said, uncovering my head. and ex-
posing the red flannel night cap,
that will go further than all your wiz
ards and your witches You don't
say so, MASTER exclaimed the fellow.
Why. il is nothing but a red flannel
n!ght-Cap" he said, coming closer.
Before 1 could raise my hand or even
realize what he had done, he made
spring toward me. and snatched the
magic cap from my head. As he did
so, he turned and ran, and as he ran,
he placed the cap on his head
THE moment he did this he disap-
pedred, and a rolling ball took his
place. l followed as fast as l could
but the ball kept rolling faster than
! could go. 1t grew larger as it rolled
and presently it rose in the air, and
t'oated off in the direction of the
town. l was so eager to recover the
red flannel night cap that l forgot
all about the mans companions. who
were waiting for me in the wood AS
it iioated, the ball followed the turns
Of the road. and it did not fly through
the air so fast that l could not keep
in sight of it. When I grew too tired
to run farther the floating ball grew
slower in its movements, and ap-
peared to accommodate itself to my
weary effort to follow.
'At a certain point in the road, ii
came closer to the ground, and pres
emily burst with a muffied noise, fill

smoke, but which I presently discov-
cred was a black powdery- stuff such
as you see in the round mushrooms
that grow in the fields. They are
called Satan's snuff-boXes all over the
world. When the powdery stuff
cleared away, I discovered the fellow
who had stolen my red flannel night
cap sitting on the ground sneezing as
if he would never stop. Not lar
away were his companions. and they
were in the custody of the officers of
the law. The gentleman who had
been attacked on the coach was with
them. in a moment they had surround
ed the fellow who had robbed me. but
he paid no attention to them. and
made no reply to the questions that
were asked him. He could not talk for
sneeZinS.
"A rope around his neck will cure
that said the gentleman. Then, see
ing me, he thanked me over and over
again for the warning l had given
him. He said that if l ever came to
the city, which was his home, he would
be glad to entertain me at his house.
and he gave me a handsome reward
for the service l had rendered him. In
snort, everything fell out as finely as
events do in the story books
But what became of the red fan

You see what poor story-teller
am" replied Wally Wanderoon. We'll.
when the ball burst the red flannel
night cap was dung into the top of a
tall pine. While | was searching for II,
and doubling if l would ever find it,
l heard a crow making a peculiar
noise. At first l could not see where he
was, but presently he rose in the air
with something in his beak, and l i'm
nediately recognized my red flannel
night cap. 1t was almost too heavy
for the crow to carry, and he flew low
er and lower. l followed him till he
lit on "A smaller tree. and when he
started to fly again, I clapped my
hands and shouted. This frightened
the crow, so that he dropped my red
flannel night cap and flew away.

II can hardly tell you. It seems to
be wild beast, and yet it swims and
dives and lives in the water. 1 know
that it has two great teeth in front,
and is terribly savage. Some of the
people that it killed were almost torn
to pieces"
"But haven't you tried to kill the
thing, whatever it is?" I asked.

the head of two hundred men" replied
the King, but when the beast began
to bark and roar we all ran away. We
are not towards. but we cannot cope
with such beast as this
1 said no more to the King just then,
but took the ak and went into the for
est and cut down a young tree to make
me a stout club. The Pigmies were
very curious to know what l was go
ing to do with it, but | did not explain
for awhile Then / said to them:
"Oh, King of the people, I have heard
of the monster which lives on the west
shore of your island and makes you
afraid, and I am going out alone TO
tight HIM"

chorus. Should you go near the wa
ter you will be torn to pieces in a min
ute We cannot let you run such a
risk
Tut I shall co. I said. II am not
at all afraid of this monster, and
shall kill him or drive him from your
shores"
When the King saw that was deter
mined to go he put his arms around
me and said
Joe Jolly Boy I know you are
brave and ready to fight, and you are
