APPRECIATION

At a recent marriage anniver-

addressed his wife: "To you, my
wife-as l review the past 1 am
reminded that through all these
years you have been a true faith
full and loving mother, ever ready
with a word of encouragement to
the darkest hours, always willing
to bear more than your share of
life's burdens, making many sac
riices for my own and our chill
dren's happiness and comfort, and

plexities and vexations of a busy

you my appreciation ofyour many
virtues"

Don't call your mother cold wo-
man." We often hear that from
young men. Stop and think how
it sounds. Old lady is bad enough,
but the cold woman" applied to
her who gave you life and nursed
your infancy, is rude and unkind.
Once it WAS "Mother, I'm hungry,
mother mend my jacket, mother
put up my dinner" and many
such things, and mother would
spread the bread with butter and
stow away the luncheon with her
heart beaming with affection fo1
you. Now. is she the old woman?

GOOD WORDS FOR GIRLS.

Your mother is your best friend.
Have nothing to do with girls

as if you were delicate in health.

POTTS WON MATCH
Minneapolis Boxer Worsts
Chicago Man in a Fast Bout
at Mill City.

Minneapolis, Mimi, March IA big
crowd of enthusiasts assembled at Nor
mama hall and witnessed a fine pro-
gram of boxing and wrestling. Jimmy
Potts of this city won over Tommy
Mowatt in the ninth round of what was
scheduled for a ten-round bout, while
Roy Moore won the decision from Mike
Brown in six rounds. Ollie Courte-
manche and Young Miller of ST. Paul
wrestled twenty minutes to draw.
The main bout of the evening saw
Potts and Mowatt as opponents, and
the boxing was fast and furious from
the start. Mowatt did plenty of lead
ing, but failed to land telling blow,
while Potts countered with good effect
in several rounds. Mowatt was very
wild in his swings, and in the early
rounds struck low foul blows contin-
ually, but these did not harm Potts,
and the fouls were not called.
Potts was content to wait for his
openings and used straight left with
good effect, although Mowatt kept COM
ing back for more. In the ninth round
Potts forced matters and drove Mowatt
against the ropes with a right to the
jaw, following with another that sent
Mowatt staggering. Potts then put in
one more in the same place and at this
juncture the bout was stopped by the
referee and the decision given to Potts

Copper County League As
tounds Enthusiasts.

Lake Linden. Mich. March 1.-The
radical change in the composition of
the Northern-Copper Country baseball
league, decided upon at the adjourned
annual meeting, has come as big sur
prise to the fans of the upper lake re-
gion. That there would be shift or
two in the circuit was the general en-
pectation, but no one was prepared for
the action which left as the only clubs
in the organization those of Houghton
and Calumet, Mich; Duluth, Mimi, and
Winnipeg, Man
At the preliminary annual meeting,
held two weeks ago. it was decided
that the league would consist of the
same clubs as completed the schedule
last season. That retained the Fargo
IN. d. and Lake Linden mich. }
teams, both of which were losers in a
pecuniary way last season. 1t was not
believed at the time that this action
would be final, as the six-club circuit
was ungainly, and three teams could
not be expected to make money in such
a small district as Houghton county.
Winnipeg and Duluth made money last
season, and Houghton and Calumet
lost, but the latter fact was due to the
surfeit of baseball in the Michigan cop
per country, the situation often being
that there were three games in the dis
trict in one day.

their third reading and final passage.
The motion was objeeted to by Mr..
Sorley Of Grand Forks, who asked
that the consideration of these meas
ures go over until tomorrow. The
discussion on the matter pending re-
suited in a colloquy between Mr.. Sor-
ley on the one hand and Messrs.
Stevens. BUTTE, Rose and others on
the other hand. The point was that
Mr.. Sorley sought to secure an in
crease in the apportionment of the
one mill tax awarded to the univer-
sity. In this he was defeated on the
postponement of the consideration of
the bills, as we'll as on the passage
of the bill on its third reading. IT
this bill had been defeated it would
have required all the bills to have
been recommitted to the committee
as the entire appropriations were
based upon the apportionment of this
tax. The bill was passed carrying
the 80 per cent plan adopted by the
senate and the house committee. 1t
was during the discussion on the bill
that Mr.. Sorley made the statement
that he had heard stories that the
university was to be punished be-
cause Grand Forks county had gone
insurgent in the last election. This
argument was not only answered by
Mr.. Purdon, who said the entire edu-
cational system of the state should
be considered in making the appor
ticnment and that of other institu-
lions were entitled to consideration,
but it is answered in the fact that
the house which was organized two
months ago by an insurgent organi-
cation of two to one, supported the
committee in it's estimate.

Mike Riley of the Casino Athletic club

poets to have some trouble in signing
all the men, but he is confident he will
get them sooner or later.
Should l succeed in matching Cans
and Nelson within month l will try
and pull off the battle on May 80, Deco

Cans before my club for 100000. So
far have received no answer. My as
sociates and myself have studied over
the situation carefully and have de-
cided to set aside 100000 for fight
carnival. 1t is our intention to make
Tonopah the pugilistic center of the

the Casino club, and they think the
contests are just what fight fans want.

for April 10. Many members seem TO
