Cadwallader Went Up.

Then there was no more scoring
until the last half of the eighth, when
Cadwallader, who had been doing
good work up to that time, went bal
looming. In that inning every one of
the home nine got an opportunity TO
take up the willow. Hickey began it
with scorching single to left field.
Hines followed with one equally good
to center which sent Hickey around
to third, Hines going to second on
the Play. Gill flew out to right field,
but Hickey plodded merrily down the
home stretch. Then came Novacek
again. He biffed out beauty midway
between short and center and Hines
sprinted past the plate. Hill flew out
to second, but Petty sent single to
short. Ryan was given free pass to
first and Novacek and Petty moved up
peg. BY this time Cadwallader was
decidedly ratified and he issued more
slices of free transportation, sending
Novacek across the rubber. Berte
was the next man to bat and he hit a
high foul which O'Leary neatly
caught, ending the inning. Score:

Cedar Rapids, June 4.-The game
here yesterday was played on heavy
diamond and was interrupted at one
time by rain. The playing, however,
was rather ON the brilliant order,
three fast double plays by the home
team being features.
The locals were the first to score.
1t was in the second inning, and Gill,
the first man at bat, was given base
on balls. Novacek stepped to the
plate and pasted a hot one out to the
left garden, when Green could not
have reached if he had been provided
with a rake. Hill went out on third
bunt trying to sacrifice and Petty
went to first on a fielder's choice,
while NOvacek was snuffed out at
second. But Gill scored. Ryan sent
beautiful single to center and Petty
came home. Ryan stole second and
had his good eye on the soft pillow at
third, but Myers flew out to second.
In the third the visitors grew gay.
Green began the mischief with long
drive to center field, neatly placed,
and Donnelly was given a compliment
tary for the first quarter of his jour
ney. Graham sacrificed and Graham
went to second by grace of a wild
throw. Rebsamen singled to left.
meanwhile Green scored. Callahan
flew out to right field. but Capt. Dom
nelly utilized the out as a pass for
the last quarter of his journey and
came home with two pounds of mud
on each shoe.

working with God.

All honest. honorable labor has q
spiritual significance. The meat which
perisheth, the reward which is gained
in money or land or some other ma
terial form, is worthy of diligent effort,
and he would be foolish who should be-
little its value; but 1t is not the only or
even the chief reward to be striven
for. He who reverently regards him
self as working together with God
who therefore cherishes aims beyond
and above those of merely immediate
and material returns and who tries to
gain through his daily work knowledge
of the divine character and purposes
and fellowship with the good and holy
he 1t is, and he only, who is laborine

He may or may not become rich In

A prisoner is tried by twelve of his

the Vikings. The Vikings divided their
country up into cantons, which were
subdivided into twelve portions, each

was brought to justice it was usual for
each chieftain to select man from the
district over which he ruled and com
pei him to try the prisoner, the verdict

A Pounding.

Last Saturday the new Manse in
this place was raided by party OF
Presbyterian, and their friends intent
on pounding the pastor. The attack
was led by Mayor Harrison ably as
sisted by Col. Thos. F. Jones. In the
absence from home Of the pastor and
his wife an entrance was easily affect
ed into the house and the two boys
were quickly overpowered.
When the unsuspecting pastor and
his wife returned the pounding was
heartily administered and when the
fray was over the articles with which
the pounding was done lay scattered
in thick profusion over the table
beef and pork, lard and butter, sugar
and coffee, corn and buckwbeat, bis
cult and cake, crackers and cheese,
apricots and jellies, canned fruits and
pickles.
Suffice it to say, love licks like these
left only a well-flled pantry and
grateful hearts.
