The Reason That Faithful No. 12
Took Day on.
Like the fated duchess in Brown
tng's poem, Tessie smiled upon all men.
No matter how intricate the order or
how many times you sent things back,
she never grumbled. There was al
ways struggle to get a seat at her
table. "The boys" who regularly gath
cred in the downtown restaurant at
half past IL would wait fifteen min
utes for the privilege of being served
by Tessie They joked her a good deal
and always were rewarded by a flash
Ing smile and twinkle of the eye, a
bit Of repartee or perhaps a little ex-
ira attention to their order. But nev-
er did one Of them presume upon her
friendliness and bon camaraderie to
overstep the very certain line which
she had drawn between herself and
those whom she served. She was
young. piquant and pretty, but she
"mothered" them all, and, no matter
how tenderly she might ask if the eggs
were just right or the coffee hot, they
knew that 1t was useless to misinter-
pref that "mothering."
Tessie stayed in the downtown lunch
room just three years. From the day
she came the managers discerning eye
discovered prize in her. and from the
ladies' table she was promoted to one
where masculinity and tips were more
frequent. If waitress were absent.
Tessie was always given the extra"
table to serve. and she never complain
ed. Tessie was never tardy, never
too i'll to work, never distrait or care
less. Tirelessly she went up and
down with her arms full of dishes and
food. "The boys" used to speculate
sometimes upon Tessie's matrimonial
possibilities and hazard g,esses as to
what they would do when some fellow
carried her off to wait on himself ex-
clusively. But in time she became
such fixture that they ceased wonder
ing why such a pretty girl was forced
to work in a quick lunch room and
gave up the thought that she would
ever marry at all.
That is why they were very much
surprised one day when they arrived
to find no Tessle. Another waitress
tried to take her place. but nobody got
what he wanted. and nothing went
right. They had been so used to de-
pending upon Tessie's suggestions and
her memory that the new waitress had
. hard time Of it. Finally in a At Of
the crouch one Of the boys called the

sie?"
The manager lifted his eyebrows po.
litely.
'Tessie?" he began. "Oh, you mean
No. IL. She will be back tomorrow"
The next morning Tessie appeared as
usual. The crowd Of young clerks
greeted her with whoop.
"Where have you beenY they de-
manded.
Tessie looked at them for a moment.
Her fingers gripped the edge of the
table, and two big tears rose to her
eyes.
I'll stayed home yesterday" she
said chokingly. "to-to so to my hus-
bands funeral"
The clerks looked at one another
blankly.
'Your husbandw exclaimed some
body.
YES" said Tessie simply. "He's
dead. He had been i'll three years
consumption" And then she hurried
away to the kitchen to give her orders
and wipe her tear stained face.-New

BASE BALL BOYS
WORKING HARD
At the Expense of Sore Muscles and
Bhstered Hands the High Fence
Is Completed.
FIRST GAME VERY NEAF
Local National League Aspirants Are
Now Anxious to Display Their
Form in Action.

| After working on the proposition
| for several weeks, the base ball BOYS
OF this city are now about ready to
give the people of Lewistown an ex-
hibition of ball playing on their en-
closed grounds And if hard work
is to be encouraged, about every
person in Lcwistown should turn out
to the first game and to every other
game which shall be played in this
city this summer.
The spirit with which the promoters
Of an enclosed ball park went at the
task Of securing the same is certain
ly deserving of success. In the first
place, they had to secure good
grounds This was done, a fine tract
having been leased Of James Hopkins
near the Catholic cemetery on what
w;ll henceforth be called athletic
Heights.
1T was then necessary to raise the
money with which to purchase the
lumber for the fence By dint Of hard
rustling. the committee appointed for
that purpose raised about $4OO.
This was barely sufficient to
pay for the lumber but the boys
did not ask for any money with
which to dig the post holes, set the
posts and put up the boards. They
personally attended to those very i'm
portant details and the manner in
which they did these things certain
iy shows that the boys are game"
About dozen Of the boys went
over first and dug post holes. Most
ot the boys work in offices and
manual labor means sore muscles but
mat did not deter the bunch
They then got busy on the fenc.
proper and put in full day Sunday
saving and mailing on boards The
JOB IS now almost completed and as
soon as the weather will permit, the
first game will be played
fine diamond is being laid out
and the boys are now prepared 10
furnish some fine sport to the lovers
of base ball in Lewistown.

tho fake and double crossing in con

commercial tactics in the prize ring.
The latest contributor is James J..
Jeffries, retired heavyweight cham
0ion of he world, who was today
moved to add a chapter to the pro.
aeedings by the expose of yesterday.
The gtst of Jef's statement is that
@ Brien offered him a chance to
make $4,000 in Nevada if he would
agree TO go out for him Said the
champion:
Jack OBrien is the first and only
man who ever came to me and asked
NE 10 do a crooked thing. Shortly
after the fight with Burns O'Brien
made a trip to Nevada to see the
Cans Herman battle When he re-
turned to Los Angeles he called on
me at my town residence.
Jim said he. / have some business
Ia talk over with you. have found
a certain party or parties in Nevada
who say they viii give 100000
purse for fight between YOU and me-
They will place an additional $4,000
in the bank for You, making $4,000
in all, every cent of which will go to
you.
But You will have to take the
count to get it, he added.
at nearly paralyzed me that he
should come out with a boldiaced
plan like that I began to laugh at
him and he saw right away that it
was all off told him that | was not
in need of money that bad and he in
temup; ed me again to say; OF course
| did not think you would pay any
attention to it, and | told the Nevada
people so at the time
Before O'Erien went away ! told
him that | had been on the level so
faf and if | ever fought again i would
have to be on the square.
what is $4,000 to man along
side of his record for being square?
It would be selling out pretty cheap,
I think II is worth lot more than
that to me to be on the level
