that his luck should stay with him to

PAW PAW ON BASE BALL MAP
Defeated Schoolcraft Score 10 to 2
Sanger in Box. Boys in
Old Time Form.

Paw Paw is again on the bsse ball
map. The team has been reorganized,
and the fans were treated to game last
Wednesday that was full of the old time
'snap and ginger"
Schoolcraft came with Hastings OF the
Kalamazoo league in the box, and but
for his idiotic kicking on decisions OF
the umpire, the game would have been
an interesting contest. He finally got
so abusive that the umpire, Billie Fields,
left the diamond and Stan Briggs finish
ed the game.
y Reynolds started to pitch for Paw
Paw and did good work, but the fans
wanted to see Sanger pitch once more
and he was put in. He had the visitors
at his mercy throughout the game, while
Paw Paw landed on the scrappy Has
tipps at will. The score was 10 to 2 in
favor OF Paw Paw.
Summary Of the game: Base on balls

sentative to the state legislature
appears in this issue Of the True
Northerner.
For some time Mr.. Heckert
has been importuned by republi-

announce his candidacy for this
important Office. After carefully
considering the matter he has
yielded to the demand and now
asks the support of the repuoll-
cans Of the county on primary
day, September l.
Judge Heckert is an ideal can
didate for the Legislature. He
has been prominent in the po'
litical affairs of the county for
many years, is broad minded and
eminently qualified to fill the
Office to which he aspires He
was a member of the constitu-
tional convention and made an
enviable record as one of that
important body of men.
The proposed constitution will
be adopted this fall and Judge
Heckert's intimate knowledge Of
the details and various provi
sions of that instrument woulC
fit him, especially at this time
for excellent work in the legisla
ture. HE'S we'll known through
out the county, and should thu
republican electors on primary
day select Judge Heckert a.
their candidate, they certainl.
will have no cause to regret thei
choice.

How a Cat Caught Two Rats.

I once had cat who did a rather
remarkable rafting feat. He stalked
two young rats on the caves of a low
fiat stable roof, and caught one in the
usual way. The other jumped on to
an elderberry tree just below.
Bob, however, not satisfied with the
one, grasped it firmly in his mouth,
and then jumped headlong for the 9TH
er. Either he was very lucky or
extraordinarily agile, for he fell to
the ground with one rat still in his
mouth and the other in his paws, and
promptly killed them both.-Scots-
man.
