CHAPTER I.

The soulful prayer of Pres by
terian mother, bowed down under
the weight of a widows sorrow
arose from a cheap little Race
street home in the city of Philadel-
phia 65 years ago, beseeching di-
vine guidance for three poor father
less boys.
Frank X. Nipple was years old,
the youngest of the brood, when
his father died. The strict religious
atmosphere of the home had al
ready made its impression upon
him. a mere baby. He lisped his
small prayer at night, and in two
years had learned to call for a
blessing upon the meager food his
mother was able to provide out OF
the scant savings left by her hus-
band.

subjects and great corporations re-
tanned his services.
He never undertook large deal
without following the lesson of his
good mother, locking himself in his
office and on Bonded knee asking
divine assistance.
His mother died believing that
her prayer had been answered.
Nipple married Miss Elizabeth
Lewis, member of his Sunday
school class, and they began life
of quiet unobtrusiveness They
were members of the Presbyterian
Social union and by this time he
had become a pillar in his church.
He was so pious, however, that he
refused to even join in the enter
tainments of the church. The first
son, an invalid from birth, died in

ed liquor to strengthen the thin

A second son and three daughters
died And when finally Mrs. Hip
pie passed away, leaving her hus-
band and one son, Wharton, to
grieve her loss, Nipple did not
smile for a year.

SHAFTS OILERS SHUT OUT
WEBB CITY YESTERDAY 80. N
ALL Done IN The Fourth
Second Game Faster than the First
Manager Lifted One Over Right
Field Fence.

In a game which was characterized
by several sensational field plays and
home run by Shaft with a man on
second, the Oilers yesterday shut out
the Spiders from Webb City by a
score of to 0. The locals made good
with three double plays which came
at the right time to prevent serious
consequences. and hit with such avid
ity that Webb was forced again to
double up on delivery boys. Ole Ole
son in the sixth broke the camel s
back with a three bagger, and Mere
dith succeeded Shaner as the central
figure of Missouri's galaxy. Shaner
was hit all over the lot during the
first six spasms, and the subsequence
was similar.
There was nothing doing in the way
of results until the fourth, when Bates
slugged the sphere sufficiently to en-
title him to quarter Of bean. While
Miner was jollying Shaner with the
shillelagh, he swiped another quarter.
Having placed Brother Bates where he
wanted him. Miner transacted busi-
ness aggressively and promptly add
ing two-base hit to his bank account
and scoring Bates. Immediately af-
ter this Manager Shaft stepped Sc
renely in front of the back stop and
humming Home, Sweet Home, with
a south side upper-cut, lost the ball
in the clouds hanging over the right
field fence. That was all there was
to it. The game might Just as well
have concluded at that point, but was
continued, probably in order to allow
Bates to distinguish himself by get
ting under an almost impossible one
in center, and the Spiders official at
the three-quarter post to hook tor
rid one right off the slapstick with
his left mitt.
Selby as dictator controlled his
subjects admirably, and got dust in
his eyes only couple of times, divid-
ed equally between both teams.
The third of this series of exhibition
games is being played today.

The State Press

Crookston Times: There is
food for thought for Minnesota
republicans in the CRITICS.
which the Window Republican
aims at Governor Johnson for
his endorsement of Bryan for
the presidency. The Republi.
can, which has strong Johnson
leanings, says that the governor
must remember that he cannot
be elected except by republican
votes and therefore he must quit
making democratic candidates
for president. Pretty state of
affairs isn't it? Governor John
son certainly can't be elected
without democratic votes. If he
refuses to be democratic to please
the Republican, he will in all
human probability. cause hard
feelings among the democrats.
If the Republican wants a gov
ernor with republican principles
why does it not favor the election
of republican instead of a dem
Ocrat. :...-.
