I never knew how well | loved
The little cot whore | was born,
Until I stood beside the gate
One pleasant, early summer morn,
And listened to my mothers voice.
She spoke words as mothers speak
OF cheer and hope and all the while
The tear drops glistened on her chez;
And .oon she turned and took rose
That grew beside the cottage door,
And. smiling, pinned it to my coat,
As she had often done before.
/ went away; twas longlsago, ?
Still ever, till my life shall close,
The dearest treasure [ can know
Will be faded little rose

WIN BOTH GAMES.
University Ball Tosssrs Trim RitzvilIe in Two
Hard Fought Contests.

Hard Fought Contests.
The University of Washington took
two successive games Monday and Tues
day after nine innings OF hard fought
ground.
The game Tuesday was before the
largest crowd of the season, most Of the
business houses closing for the occasion.
The weather was fine at the opening of
the game. but high wind with an
abundance of dust and sprinkle of
rain, caused many to leave their seats
before the game was finished. The bad
weather also made fast ball playing an
,mpossibility. Both pitchers were in
good form, Gregory being the most
effective. Errors on the Ritzville play.
ers were responsible tor three Of the Wis
itors' runs. A missed fly by Pennington.
and bad throw by Nehring. which went
over lrby's head. gave the students two
runs in the second.
A muffed fly ball in the third by Pen
nington was responsible for tally. The
other two runs were earned
Ritzville batted three runs in the first
inning and Nehring's hit in the fifth
brought in Montgomery. the fourth and
last score. Runners made third base in
two innings afterward, but were unable
to score.
