Securities controversy and the supposedly
antagonistic positions held by James J..
Hill and E. H. Harrison and their respec-

situation is very few appear to have def

Or at the village maidens fair

Doth make the goo-goo eyes.
Now in the morn ere dawn hath come
From bed ariseth he.
And dresseth in a chilly room
To catch the five-ought-three.
AS breakfast is not ready YET
He getteth on the train
And rideth down to Green's Cross Roads
Perhaps an hour or twain.
And there before the tavern stove
He warmeth up his legs,
And presently he sits him down
To hash on ham and eggs.
And when to work he goeth forth
He finds to his amaze
His customers hath gone to town,
To be there several days.
So when at last the weary day
Hath dragged it's leaden round,
Again the happy travelling man
Is at the station found.
And to him comes the ticket man
And cheerfully doth state:
"Jest make yourself at home, old man,
Your trains three hours late"
All, envy not the Travelling Man,
For though his job seems gay,
Despite his efforts, now and then
Some work will come his way.
And when to you it seems his lot
Is one of joy alone,
Remember that the Drummer has
Some troubles of his own.

the coach, related the story of his uncle

not much of a contention, either, for

Two Home Runs Won Game.

L
Boone, Ia, Aug. 31.-Hobbs was in
the box for. the Quakers yesterday
and he surely did himself proud. On
ly one Boone Greyhound hit him eff
fectually and that was Pennington,
who knocked two home runs, and a
third long fly that brought in Bassey.
These were the only scores made by
the home team, the other batters go
ing down before the Quaker in the
one, two, three order.
AT bat there was nothing doing by
the Quakers until in the seventh in
ming when Bradshaw hit and Patter-
son attempted to sacrifice. 1t was a
nice bunt to Powell and the double
was there waiting. In his eagerness
Powell threw to Pennington on the
run instead of to the bag, and Penny
had to go back after it. He stopped
the ball and recovered it in time to
fall over the bag with one hand on
the ball on the ground. Bradshaw
was called safe on the play, and Dali
rymple dumped both runners a sta
ton. Slear hit and scored both, but
was doubled up with Henry in the
double that came too late. The
Quakers never had another chance to
score.
Meanwhile Pennington's home runs
the first and second times he went to
bat had given Boone enough to make
it tie-up. In the seventh Bassey
lived on PatterSon'c funohIe and An
,derson sacrificed. Pennington was
up and hit one that looked like an
other home run, but it was too high
and Dalrymple caught it up against
the fence.
In the eighth Powell got to second
on a walk and sacrifice by Mcclure
but Depew and Painter could not
score him.
In the ninth Lally went to bat and
f'tff5Sg OrtC5 furious one to center.
kBassey, essayed to dump, but Lally
was forced at second Anderson hit
one back of second base that looked
like a fy-out, but no one got to it, and
as soon as Bassey saw what was go
ing to happen he made dive clear to
third base, where he landed ahead of
the ball, Anderson going to second.
| Pennington drove out a long fly to
Dalrymple and Bassey stole home like
the wind after the out. A great cry
of joy went up, and a large bouquet
was handed to Penny as he left the
| grounds.

Ii MIGHT Have Been.

Concerning the shut out game at
Fort Dodge the Boone News says:
'Oskaloosa did not give Fort Dodge
a look in. Coates was in the box for
the Quakers and he did not allow a
hit during the game. The Oskaloosa
players were in fine form and made
eleven scores during the game. A
Snort time ago Bridges shut Fort
Dodge out without hit or run. Os-
kaloosa has a team which, if it stead
led down, could beat anything in the
league. If the present team had start
ed the season Oskaloosa and Ottumwa
might have changed places"
