The best game of the season was
played at the Fair grounds, last Sat-
urday afternoon, when the strong
3 to l. 1t was hard fought from begin
ming to end, both sides making hardly
an error, but Newtown doing the best
stick work. The game played by New
town was steady throughout; the
chances comparatively easy with those
Of the Waterbury team, who made two
or three sensational plays. The stop
by Humphrey in the fifth certainly
was the feature.

A Mean Graft.

There is fellow with a brazen
nerve and as full of talk as phono-
graph working low down graft in
the country districts, too small to
attract much attention from the Of
ficials, but as entirely dishonest as
the stock of a gold brick merchant.
He deals in funeral memorials of
the departed, in bum gilt printing
Of maudlin rhyme on black card
board squares, which he endeavors
to force upon unwilling people re-
Gently bereft of friends.
His game is to make some mem
Der of the family, preferably wo-
man, believe that another member
had ordered the tributes" to the
late departed. The price of course is
always outrageous and the fellow
depends on the freshness of his vic
TINS sorrow to aid HIM in getting
the money. If they do not give up
readily he has fund of threats of
recourse to the law and brutal
sneers of their want of considera-
ton" for their dead Ito haggle over
the petty price of a few dollars to
pay for a memorial card" and fire.
quently DULLES or cajoles them into
taking them. The fellow changes
his pastures frequently getting far
enough away to keep ahead of the
stories concerning his doings.
There are a number of men in
Grant County, who, if they should
happen to meet the fellow will
probably put period to his graft in
Wisconsin.
The game is old and so petty as
to be hardly worth while to make
any strenuous effort to stop, but
from moral point of view no bet
ter than the crime of forgery or the
trade of a couterfeiter.

Water Pipes Need Attention.

The extreme rigors of last winter
taught many a lesson in practical
plumbing to the inexperienced
house-keepers whose insufficiently
protected pipes froze and burst
continually during the long period
of intense cold, and the remem-
brance of the flooded floors will
prompt many to take particular
precautions this winter. 1t is a
very good plan to cover all the
exposed pipes with bale cotton held
on by several thicknesses of news
papers, tied on with Irvine. If
neatly done this does not look bad
and is great protection. Where a
window is near a supply pipe it
should be well protected with
weather strips, and the sash ex-
amined to see that is perfectly tight.
On very cold nights the fawcets
should be left slightly running, and
an old pillow put behind them will
often prevent freezing. All this
necessitates certain amount of
trouble and oversight, but anyone
who has gone through the expert
ence of flooded floors, and no plumb
erlto be had, will feel that it is we'll
worth the exertion. It would also
be good plan for the house MIS-
tress to learn how to shut off the
water from the house in case of
flooding, and remedy for frozen
pipe, which is very easy to try, IS to
place a lighted lamp on the floor
near the pipe after turning on the
fawcets, so that the water may
have a free outlet in its expansion.

WOODEN WEDDING.
Mr.. and Mrs. ThOs. Wright Celebrate
9TH Anniversary.

Last Friday was gala day FOL
Mr.. and Mrs. Thos. Wright, OF this
city. About 100 missives went out
inviting their friends to be present
at their home on that day, some fol-
the evening and some for day.
Owing to the severity of the weather
the day guests were unable to at,
tend and only nine persons sat down
to dinner intended for thirty.
In the evening the friends in town
were invited, and about fifty res
ponded to the invitation. Games
charades and general jollity was the
order of the evening. A notable
feature was an ''age problem" pro
pounded to the guests by THEN
hostess. 1t consisted in the cor
rect supplying of words in about
twenty sentences, each word tC
end with the syllable ''age." Fol
instance, the question What is the
proper age for a ships" elected the
answer, voyage" Mrs. A. G.
Knapp received the prize for the
greatest number of correct answers
while her husband received the
BOBBY prize. Grave suspicious
we're entertained that the Knapps
were making a corner on the prize
market.
Many beautiful and useful gifts
were received by the young couple,
among which were the following:

A GREAT SUCCESS.
Annual Hop Given by the Hayseeds
Surpassed Former Events.

The annual ball given under aus.
pieces of the Hayseed!club at Knapp's
rink Monday night was a decided
success and established a new re-
cord. A large number responded
to the invitations sent out and the
capacious room was taxed to it's ut
most capacity.
The best thing about the occasion
was the spirit of neighborly feeling
in the arrangement of affairs and
the deep interest manifested by all
in seeing that everyone else enjoyed
himself to the utmost. Never be-
fore did the rink appear more pretty
with it's decorations of variegated
colors and seldom, if ever, has
there been such gathering OF
feminine loneliness and manly
bravery at the county seat.
1t would be the height of folly for
us to even intimate, if we could,
who was the belle of the ball, as
the youth and beauty of Lancaster
and vicinity was almost fully repre-
sented.
The young gentlemen in charge
of the event did themselves proud
and words of praise could be heard
on every hand. Everything passed
off smoothly and it was one of the
most enjoyable affairs ever given
here.
