An Appeal to the Public.

Consider the papers, how they
blow; they care not, neither do they
know, how very untidy they render
the highways and byways of this
otherwise beautiful city. Who
knoweth whence they come or
whittier they go1 AYE, there's the
rub"
20 wad some power the giftie gle
u.s." to discover who the persons
may be, that prove so thoughtless
as to cast papers upon the street,
where they are not only source of
danger in frightening nervous
horses, but also prove dishearten-
ing to the faithful citizens, who
have labored early and late, to
maintain the enviable reputation for
cleanliness and attractiveness, that
this city has attained within
and without the state. If this rep
utation is to be sustained, it can
only be accomplished by the united
effort of all who reside within the
city limits; and in view of this fact,
the members of the Improvement
League kindly ask the cooperation
of men, women and children, to see
to it that all waste papers be kept
off the street. We need only to re-
call the classic motto chosen by the
High School graduates, Labor
Conquers ALL" to determine that a
small effort on the part of ALL our
citizens, will bring the success we
seek to attain.
Kindly think upon these things,
and let your actions voice courte-
Gus approval.

Base Ball. River Falls Wins.

Decoration Day was lucky one
for River Falls base ball teams, the
locals winning two games in success
sion on High school campus by
large scores.
The first game, between the White
Caps and the Menomonie Blue caps,
was a nine-act farce comedy in
which the home team scored the
most hits.
The game started out with fluke
in the very first inning, and it was
general opinion that that fuke
would decide the game in favor of
the visitors. Menomonie was first at
bat. Noble and Neugrbauer both hit
safely. Bronstad flew out. Edeberg
scored on Vigiroust's hit aud the
next two batters were put out. Cut
ting and Linehan were thrown out
at first, Anderson got around 10 Sd
but Elertson was out on pop up
and no scores came in. The Men
omonie side of the second act was
over in one, two, three order and
the fire works began. Norstrum
laced out a double. Thorsen was
out. Forsythe singled and Nor
strum went to third. Jensen scored
Norstrum and landed safe on first.
Donahue was put out. Cutting
laced out two Dagger scoring For
sythe and Jensen and got home on
wild throw by Helson. In the
third neither team scored and the
first Of the fourth netted nothing
for the Blue Caps. But the White
Caps gave a better account of them
selves in this inning. Forsythe
started the merry-go-round and be-
fore the dust cleared everyone had
batted, three twice, and ForSythe,
Jensen, Cutting, Linehan, Ander-
son, Elertson, Norstrum and Thor
sen had scored and Jensen had got
around to third again when the third
man was put out. In the fifth Men
omonie scored once and in the sixth
they netted four runs while the To-
Gals were resting up for another
iamboree for the seventh. Bronstad
had been substituted for Helson in
the box, but it proved to be 8 of one
and half dozen of the other for
this inning didn't end until after
Cutting, Linehan, Elertson, Nor
strum, Jenson and Donahue had all
scored. The eighth netted the visi-
tors one run and the locals two and
after three men batted in the ninth
the game was over with the score
20 to 9 in favor of the White Caps.
The second game-between the
Spring Valley White Sox and the
River Falls Red Caps-was won by
the latter by a score of Is to 8. The
fans declared this to be the best
played game of the two.

in the field of scientific work has
more progress been made in recent

This is strictly the work of the OPP

you should consult an optometrist

He reached over toward his pen rack,
took off a pen and plunged it into the
Ink well. He turned to me with n frOwn

l was ready with a fountain pen.
The pen was uncapped. l handed 1t to

would not flow. l took it and shook II.
Again he made the attempt, with no
result.
II will get one" he said. So he
stepped into the other room. Evidently
some one stopped him with a question,
for he did not come back for three
minutes. Then he stood at his desk.
He looked down at the contract.
IL believe l had better think this
matter over again." he said. And all
the talk I put up could not bulge him.
l had lost a sale because my fountain
pen was empty. Now, one Of my regu-

THE BLIND OF CAIRO.
To Be Found Everywhere In the Shops
and on the Streets.


The first thing that impresses the
stranger In Cairo Is the number Of
blind-men, women and children-to be
found everywhere in the shops and on
the streets. Ophthalmia is very preva-
lent throughout Egypt. Because of SUI
perstition concerning 1.-The evil eye"
the native mothers of the middle or
the lower class do not wash the eyes
Of their babies at all. Watching the
flies buzzing unheeded around and
upon these blind children, a stranger
hastens to buy a fly whisk. These are
for sale everywhere and are quite at
tractive with their ornaments Of fancy
beads and palm leaf fiber. Blind beg
CARS greet one at every corner. Even
in the high class Egyptian families
there are many blind. The lower
classes Of Egyptians are given much
to ~hasheesh-that is, the lower classes
In the large cities-and. although 1t Is
against the law to sell 1t. one will have
the hasheesh places pointed out, and
the men who smoke the drug are seen
everywhere. They are distinguished
by the peculiar appearance of their
eyes. which become red, swollen and
baggy underneath. and by the peculiar
color Of the skin, which resembles
somewhat the skin of a Chinese opium,
