GAME CLINCHED
THEN Is LOST
Bemidji Beatty Hibbing in Most
Exciting Ball Contest Of
Season.

Ns'Of all sad words of tongue or
pen the saddest are these, it
might have been. And this
tells the story of the game yes
terday with Hibbing. For seven
long innings the locals held them
without a run, and then came
that eighth that will long be re-
mem bered. Five errors, coupled
with two hits, brought in seven
runs, and the game which we had
sewed up, up to this time went
glimmering.
It was a beautiful game to
watch. The locals had made two
scores and it looked to be plenty.
The much-touted sluggers from
Hibbing were swinging their
heads off trying to connect with
the curves LeGore was dishing
out to them. They had only
made two hits, both very
scratchy, and everything was
happy as marriage bell.
The going to pieces of the boys
can be explained by the fact that
they have had no practice, and
the strain of a long, hard contest
told on them, and they all went
up together. .-a
But such excuses cannot be
offered from now on, as the new
ball park is ready for business,
and great deal of time should
be spent there in work outs each
day.
The new, park was crowded,
about 1000 people being present,
and the advantage If having it
down town was apparent. Mayor
Carter threw the first ball, and
although a little wild his delivery
met with the hearty approvalof the
crowd, who cheered long and
loudly.
Ribbing had the same fast
team AS last year, and the re-
dow btable Red Morton Of the
Duluth team pitched. Although
he threw clever game he was
outpitched by LeGore, the hits
being four to three in favor of
the Duluth man; but LeGore
struck out thirteen to his six.
Hibbing made five errors and
Bemidji seven.
The fast Pickets of ST. Paul
will be here for four games July
1, 2, 8, and 4, and the fans will
have a chance to see some more
great baseball.

CaDsicum.

The capsicum plant, from which the
different varieties Of pepper are pro-
duced, Is indigenous to the tropical re
gions Of Europe, Asia, Africa and
America. 1t grows wild almost as
we'll as under cultivation in all these
countries, and in each is used by the
natives as a seasoning for food. Its
extensive employment has suggested to
medical theorists the thought that it
must be considered as natural tonic
for the stomach in tropical countries

Herodotus makes Scion tell Croesus
Of several men happier than he. Two
brothers, Cleobis and Biton of Argos,
he said, when oxen were lacking to
draw their mother, the priestess Of
Hera, to the temple several miles dis
tant, harnessed themselves to the cart
When the mother, proud of her sons
and moved by the plaudits of the
crowd, had prayed to Hera that her
sons might receive the best gifts the
gods had to bestow, they lay down In
the shade of the temple and never
walked. Herodotus says that their
statues were sent to Delphi. Homolle
found at Delphi two statues practically
Identical, Of finest archaic work, made
early In the sixth century B. G. Since
one Of them bore the signature Of an
Argive sculptor Polymedes, in archaic
letters, we may believe that the story
Of Herodotus Is based on fact and that
we have before us today the Identical
Observation-Disclosures.

Efrhteenth Century Life

These brief extracts from the letters

the bluestockings," throws curious
light on eighteenth century life in Eng.
land. She was suffering from a swell
ed lip. Promptly the great DR.. Mead
prescribed a blister to her back. She
writes: II am better than 1 was; but,
my mouth not being yet perfectly re-
duced, have got a fresh blister upon
my back. Well may it bend with such
a weight Of calamities. I have sent for
my bathing cloathes and on Sunday
night shall take souze. 1 think it
pleasant remedy" Apparently in 1741
q lady could not take a bath even on
Sunday night and in the privacy of
her chamber without her "bathing
tloathes." Mrs. Montagu writes again
"My lip Is not entirely reduced, though
l have been blistered twice, once blood
ed, and have five times taken physic
have lived upon chicken and white
meats and drank nothing but water.
I have suffered great disappointment
about the warm bath which I am ad.
vised to try, for the bathing tubs are

New Banking Bill Passes the House.

Washington, Dec. THE House
to-day, waiting on the report of ap-
preparation bills, began its legislative
grind by passing three measures in
cooperating the National German
Alliance ). authorizing the Secretary
of the Treasury to duplicate gold
certificates in lieu of ones lost or de-
stroyed, and the bill amending the
national banking laws, permitting
national banking associations to
make loans on real estate as security
and limiting the amount of such
loans.
The banking bill has been one of
the Vests fa-or;:s measures and
the leaders in the House from that
section lined up generally in favor of
the legislation, which it was asserted
would go far toward popularizing
the national banks. The opponents
of the bill, Democrats and Republi-
cans, insisted that real estate was not
a proper security for a loan, even
though limit was placed on the
loan. The advocates were too strong,
however, and the bill passed two to
one.

wha, a Pity But He sim HAS tho Grip.

Z. ID
Bro. Stribling: One of our union
boys, while in town some time ago,
remarked il the presence OF banker
that he was still holding his cotton,
and surely it would have melted a
<eeart of stone to have seen the sym
sthy manifested by that banker for
that dear boy for not selling when
he could have sold for eleven cents.
Surely he had missed the oppor-
tunity of his life, for never again
would he see such an exorbitant
price paid for the staple.
How sad Oh, how sad The day
has been when old "hayseed" would
stand around with his hands pushed
up to his elbows, grinning like a
'poasnm dressed for the pot, with
his mouth wide open, like a young
bird, ready to swallow everything
poked at him, but surely the world
moves and everything is undergoing
a change.
To-day we find the Southern cot
ton farmer reading man, business
!. man. He has at last found out that
J so long as he has brains enough to
make he has brains enough to mar
ket. He may ask to be allowed to
attend to his own business just as he
allows the other fellow to attend to
his business. Is there anything
wrong about this, and has he not the
right to do SOP Don't want to pull
anybody down off the shelf-place for
us all if the other fellow won't take
up too much room. If he does that,
then he must move up little, for we
are going to sit down; been standing
up till we are tired. Move your big
feet there. Get out of the way, Mr..
Enemy, lest we get bull dog grip
on both "years," and when we let go
you will feel like you had been struck
by Kansas cyclone and "blowed"
through ten-acre plum orchard.
No, we're not mad, just gaining to
get into Prosperity avenue with you
other fellows.
We respect every legitimate busi-
ness man in the world; we're worthy
of his respect and he must respect us.
1t has taken long and persistent work
for the old farmer to get to this
place, but he has reached the goal at
last and right there he is going to
stay.
When we say eleven cents mini
mum, we don't mean to say that we
are going to take that, but we mean
to say that we are not going to take
less than that.
That boy was not one of your
"seven-year-itch" kind, Bro. Strib-
ling, and he still holds his cotton,
and if that banker was shooting at
him for fool he had just as we'll
been throwing bird shot at the seven
stars. w. l.. Casey,
