They PLAYED Fast Games

The reorganized Extra base ball
club played the strong aggregation
calling themselves The Black La
bells, of Des Moines, at Athletic
Park, the latter part of the week
and it was one of those hair raising
kind which kept everybo on their
tiptoes until the last bit of the ninth
inning. The visitors, who are all
star players, broke the ice in the
first inning, the fret man up slam.
ming out safe hit and before the
side was retired they had one score
chalked up to their credit, but from
that time up to their half of the
ninth inning Pitcher Jack Malloy
and Catcher, Earl Brownie. with
splendid support of their team
mates, continued to hand 'e1n out
goose eggs; our boys having scored
in the second, fourth and seventh
innings; then right here is where
some of the hair raising came in as
they succeeded in running in two
men and the score was tied up.
Now it was up to the Extra boys to
do or die 30 they went in to win and
there began a fusillade and when
the smoke cleared away Harold
Sturgeon was seen placidly sitting
On third base, and there was deep
hush when Claude Kelsey came to
the bat but in moment mighty
shout arose when he sent singing
single far out into the field, Harold
came trotting home with the win
ming run and the agony wac over.

Great Live Stock Show

The outlook for great Iowa State
Fair was never better than this year.
I" While last year the exhibit in the
horse and cattle department far ex.
ceeded any previous year." said
]. c. Simpson, " And was
on par with any of the well known
exclusive live stock shows in this or
foreign countries; and far in the
lead of other state fairs, the entries
being made in these departments
which have to be filled not later
than August first are tar in excess
of all previous experiences. This
clearly indicates that breeders are
alive TO the fact that to exhibit their
products at this great show, where
over hundred thousand interested
people see them, is to bring their
herds into prominence more quick
ly than in any other way. Verify it
is The greatest annual live stock
show in the world and breeders
far and near journey here every
year, showing their best, or to select
from those of their co-herdsmen."

1t does not serve to lessen the regret
whit that the little one in the home
is bitten by the pet family dog rather
than by the tramp cur that happens to
stroll past the place. Recently there
have come to our notice two cases Of
this kind. In the one a little two-year-
old was killed outright by pet bull
dog that had been angered by boys
in the neighborhood, it's jaws having
to be pried open before the grip Of the
animals teeth could be freed from
the little ones throat. In the second
instance large Dane attacked little
child of about the same age, son of
the owner, and nearly killed him be-
fore it was dubbed off There may be
cases where watchdog is necessity,
but they are getting scarcer every day.
Since 1t is the bark Of dog that is
the important thing, pug or terrier
will answer this purpose in most cases,
and should they attack the children in
the home they would not mangle them
quite so badly.

BOOK ILLUMINATION.
An EARLY Example of the Artistic
Culture of the Ancients.

The underlying thought which has in
spire1 illumination from its very be-
ginning is more interesting even than
the gorgeous pages which pass beyond
our power of appreciation and defy
our comprehension. To the ancients
the rarest gems in all the world were
the gems of thought. The book was
the tangible and visible expression Of
mans intellect, worthy of the noblest
setting. Its covers might be made Of
tables of beaten gold inlaid with pre-
rious Jewels it's words might be writ
ten in minium Of rare brilliancy
brought from India or Spain or in
Byzantine ink made from pure orien-
tai gold upon parchment soft as velvet
made from the skins Of still born kids,
while upon the ample margins could
be displayed miniatures and decora-
tons portraying the highest skill Of the
great artists of the day.
The earliest example Of illumination
is papyrus in the Louvre in Paris,
which contains paintings representing
funeral ceremonies executed in bright
colors, touched in it's high lights with
penciled gold. Although we find fire.
quent mention of some poem written
in gold, of some magnificent volume or
codeX of eolored vellum or some col
lection of miniatures or of some mag
nificent gift book decorated for prince
or church, yet this simple, imperfect
fragment at the Louvre is the sole
tangible evidence we have that so
obvious form of artistic culture as
| the art of illumination was known to
the long period Of classical antiquity
or to the later luxuries of the life Of
Athens and Corinth. of Pergamum and
Ephesus. of Cyzicuus or Rhodes. SYRIA
cuse or Tarentum, of Sybaris, of Pom
peii and of Rome.
With the invention of printing the
demand for the illumination and the
scribe became gradually less, and final
~ by the end of the sixteenth century
illumination ceased to be an art. The
book as the developer of the people in
science and literature and in learning
generally had crowded out the book as
IN object of art. 1t need not have
done this, perhaps, but as a matter of
fact it did.-Boston Transcript.

This is indeed a fast age when
girls who have attained the age of
twelve or thirteen years think it
entirely proper to openly insult
strangers on the street. 1t would
be we'll for them before they speak
so to their seniors, or anyone for
that matter, to ask themselves these
questions: La it true? Is it neces-
sary? Is it kind? Perhaps it would
be we'll for this particular young
lady to read several books on ETH

her own age, living in town, act
when they attend the band con-

The Black Labels tarried over
night and tried to redeem them
selves by playing our boys second
game but they Jared no better, as
the score was five to three against
them. They put in new pitcher,
Graves, upon whom they had great
hopes but he only lasted five or six
innings, Extra having scored five
times which proved enough to win;
then Ryan went into the box and
our team scored no more, but then
we had the game well in hand,
though there was chance for the
visitors to win az they had the
bases full but the splendid work of
our battery, Basil Sergeant and
Earl Brownie, in the second game,
kept them from making but two
rms. We believe there is no strong
er amateur batteries in western
Iowa than Extra now has in Basil
Sergeant, Jack Malloy and Earl
Brownie. The score by innings
follows:

You always get your moneys

policy holders who have met with
losses are our best friends. We

Ask any of them. We do business
for the companies that have the
reputation of paying their losses
promptly and satisfactorily. Not
how cheap but how good. When
we are called upon to write pol
icy we write it in company there
is no question about when the fire
happens. We cannot afford to
stake our reputation on cheap
skate companies, for we are often
called upon to pay a loss where we
never expected one would occur,
and we are expected to pay them,
and we will always look we'll to
the interests of our large lists of

The Lewis base ball enthusiasts,
twenty strong, came up Wednesday
to cross bats with The Wonders.
The game was called early in order
to complete it in time for the visit
itors to leave on the south bound
train, but it proved unnecessary as
it required but sixty-seven minutes
to complete it. This was, probably,
in order of time the fastest game
we have had this year; as from the
time play ball" was called by UNI
pire Delahoyde until the last ball
was passed over the plate there was
nothing doing but good clean ball
playing; there was no Raging; no
kicking on decisions and very little
score making. 1t was good clean
and fast game, with Lewis clearly
outclassed. The distinctive features
of the game seemed to be Extras
base running and the inability of
the visitors to cross the home plate
and the general good play of our
team; in the absence of Duff Varney
George Guernsey kindly played
frat base for Extra. The summary
follows:
Extra ............1 O30 OO1O rs
Lewis. ...........0 5000 100000
Batteaies: for Extra, Malloy and
