Crookston Times: The Northwest
Tennis association is planning to hold
next month, probably after the goth.
A large attendance is hoped for, and
it is expected that players from Ada,
Warren and possibly Drs. Sedgely and
Wilcox from Fergus Falls, who car
ried away the honors last, will be in
attendance. The meet may be opened
to Grand Forks also, although this has
not yet been decided.

Games Yesterday.
Brinsnlade s, Leeds 1.

The Leeds professional ball team
crossed bats with the Brinsmade anna
tours here on Monday in very inter-
esting game, in which the Brinsmade
team came out the victor. Kelly was
on the rubber for the Leeds profess
SIGNALS and was hit quite freely. Bob
Lent pitched for Brinsmade and al
lowed the Leeds boys no "free rides"
to first, and as usual pitched shut-out
ball from start to finish, and but for
an error in the field Leeds would never
have seen the color of the home plate.

Bear in Mind.

The 20-year ago columns of Win
nipeg paper states:
"a bear quietly meandered along in
front of the general store at Meadow
Lea the other day. Spectators at
ball game gave chase but Mr.. Bear
was too swift, hiding himself in
nearby oat field"

Native East Indian cooks are said
to use the following method to dis
tinguish edible fungi from poisonous
toadstools. They throw silver coin
into the water in which the mush-
rooms are boiled. II the metal turns
black with coating of rust they con-
denim the mushrooms, but IL the metal
retains its color they consider them
safe to use.

on the other hand made six hits, some
of them being timely, also taking ad-
vantage of the errors which the locals
usually mixed up with their oppon-
ents' hits.
The usual small crowd in attend
ance. however undoubtedly received
its moneys worth. The Browns had
one or two chances to tie or win the
game but inability to connect with the
ball during their ms, made 1t impossi-
BILE to circumnavigate the bases.
The last game of the season, it is
announced, will be that of this after

At last man has learned to live
without air Sodium peroxide, one of
the newer products of eectrolysis, is
a compound of sodium with oxygen
that decomposes in the presence of
damp carbonic acid. The value of this
substance may be gathered from the
fact that a man can live in an alright
box as long as any sodium peroxide re-
mains unconverted. 1t is suggested
that, by means of sodium peroxide,
submarine boats will be able to re.
main under water for considerably
longer periods than hitherto has been
possible. Just how long will be a
matter of calculation, the factors in
the calculation being the amount of
oxygen converted into carbonic acid
by one man in one hour, the number
of men present, and the weight of
peroxide that can be carried. Used in
mines, 1t should enable miner to
live with his head literally in bag
OF india rubber containing this perox.
ide, whereby he can tide over period
of danger.

vital Principles often Involved
Where Amount Seems Trihing.

A Geagi railroad and one Of its
patrons have got as far as the su.
preme court Of that state with a law
suit in which the sum OF money az
issue is Is cents. but there is a prin-
ciple involved which both sides are
determined shall be settled for all
time. says the Boston Transcript
In Atlanta, as in most cities south
Of New England, one can not enter a
train without exhibiting a ticket and
having it punched at the gates. An
Atlanta man 10 aid woman with a
good deal Of hand baggage bought
ticket 10 the nearest station beyond
al the price named II was stamped
-redeemable if not used" The pur-
chaser before leaving the station pre-
sented it for redemption, but this was
refused He then went 10 the local
court, which decided in his favor, The
railroad company then appealed to
higher court, on the ground that in
his purchase Of the ticket he simply
pretended to enter into a contract
and his purpose was to defraud
Again the purchaser obtained a
judgment and the case is now before
the supreme court of Georgia. The
principle OF the plaintiff is that the
railroad had no right TO question his
motives when he presented the ticket
for redemption and that of the rail.
road company is that the existence
Of the gate system is at issue,
Highly important decisions have
been based on issues involving very
small money considerations. The SUI
preme court of the United States last
winter gave a good deal Of time and
research to cause carried before 1t
on appeal involving only s24 A rail
road was, in this case, the defendant
1t owed one of its employees, a train
hand, this sum, which was attached
and collected by one of his creditors
The employe contended that the
money was still due him and carried
the case up to the highest tribunal
in the land.
Our own famous Chief Justice Shaw
wrote one of his most luminous ex-
positions of legal principles in decid
ing case which turned on the own
ership Of a bull calf. 1t is related
that the bar snickered at the frequent
repetition of the phrase "the said bull
calf" and the chief justice rebuked
the laughing lawyer by saying; Gen
tlemen, you do not reflect what bull
calf may be to a very poor family"
Robert Browning went to law over
the value of one bottle of wine, on
the great principle that he would not
be swindled for half a crown if he
could help it. The kicker" is often
the subject Of ridicule, but kickers
have helped the world along at
times. Given a great scenic environ.
ment and the kicker becomes a his.
torical parsonage of the first class.
John Hampden would never have
felt" the amount of ship money"
assessed on his estate.
