The GrindstOne
Post Office

A genuine old fashioned post
office campaign seems to be brew
ing up in the Grindstone country.
No less than three separate petit
tions are being circulated over
there in the interests of various
candidates who are ambitious to
bear the official burdens of the
post office, and draw the salary
connected Herewith. Each of the
aspirants feels that he is sure to
win the coveted position, and this
in tho face of the we'll established
fact that there is nothing certain
about post Office fight except that
somebody is always bound to be
surprised
The campaign now on is nat
ural result of the rapid growth OF
our country. Time was when the
Grindstone post Office was a poor
nameless waif, kicked about over
the prairie, so unlucratiye that
no one cared to have it all for his
own. But times have changed.
Thousands of comic picture post.
cards come to the Grinastone office
every year. Consequently the
postmaster can have an interesting
time and draw a good salary be
sides. All these things are attract
| i've and make men ambitious.

The minstrels are not apt to be
lynched anywhere. Their trip to-
the Missouri river towns was q
triumph in. every respect, and the
reception accorded the players here
on their return was little short Of
an ovation. {
A full house or to speak more
accurately, a full loft--was out to
hear the entertainment, and they
heard a program of rare excels
lence, rendered in . manner that
would have done high credit to q
professional troupe.
We are loath to comment on the
individual work of the various
members of the company. II wal
all so good and so satisfying that
it is impossible to single out anys
one for special praise.s Let it suf-
fee to say that everyone who at
tended the show was thoroughly
pleased and looks forward in high
anticipation to a second visit Of
the company to our town. 3

Philip 5 Pierre 2

The Philip base ball team went
over to Pierre last Sunday and
covered themselves with glory
Their victory was so complete and
SO satisfactory to all loyal Philip
ians that it is hard to write of the
game in the terms of moderation
that the subject demands.
"A large number of rooters from
west of the river were present.
Pierre fans turned out in goodly
numbers to cheer the Capital City
team. SO the game assumed the
proportions of an old fashioned
tug of war across the river. The
excitement was tense throughout,
and an impassionate onlooker could
easily have imagined that bedlam
had broken loose, when after 8
heroic rally in the ninth inning,
Philip ran in four scores and wolt
the game.
The game started with q steady
pull. For two innings neither
team scored. Then in the third
Philip thought the time appro-
pirate and gathered in one. In
the sixth Pierre scored and in the,
eighth she chalked up another. So
it happened that when Philip went
to the bat in the last inning the
score stood two to one against her:
Then something happened. i Il
impossible to tell how. Il just hap.
pened. In the classic words o{
Wisconsin's great war governor,
the Philip players saw their duty
and they done it." When it was
all over the Philip rooters were
falling on each others necks and
weeping great gushing tears Of
ioy; and the score was FIVE - two
| in favor of the local team.

a Brides Dilemma,

A humorous romance Is reported
from Natal, where youthful Elindoo
bride was recently called upon to
choose between her husband and her
Jewels. The case came before the Dur
ban police court in the first instance,
where the brides parents, says the
Natal Mercury. accused her husband OF
abducting her while under thirteen
years of age The bride. however,
claimed to be eighteen, and the magis-
trate dismissed the case. Outside the
court tug of war took place between
the two parties for the possession Of
the bride, m the course of which 1t APP
peared that what her parents particu-
larly desired was not herself. but her
jewery. A sergeant OF police then sat
In judgment and decided that the jew
elry belonged to the parents, and the
girl must choose between her husband
and her bracelets. After some cogita-
ton she chose the husband, who
promptly unfastened the bangles from
her arms and handed them to her
parents
