From the Register,

Joe Clement and Geo. Munden
have returned from the Deuel. county
ranch and will remain a few days in
Bancroft. Mr.. Clement expects 10
join an excursion to Texas during the
month, returning home in time to boss
the haying on his ranch.
The prohibition picnic held a Spirit
Lake last Wednesday was not as
largely attended as it would have
been had it been advertised better
Those in attendance greatly enjoyed
the address and also the ball game
between Bancroft and Manchester
Members of the team from this place
were not all present and some of the
bal tossers of twenty years ago filled
the vacancies and put up an exhibit
that would have at least made the
Boston Boomers green with envy.
S. G.. Eggleston has sold his stock
of groceries and hardware to an Iowa
party. Although Mr. Eggleston holds
a two years lease on his present loca-
ton and has leased the big store room
in the new business block, and is in a
position to control the trade of Ban
croft, he perfers to divide up the bust
ness and thereby make this town as
attractive a trading point as possible.
He will fill the new store to the limit
with a complete stock of dry goods,
shoes, etc., while the gentleman from
Iowa will carry a complete line ofgro,
ceries and hardware.

Oldham, ). d., June 20, 1908.
Pub. Independent:
In reply to your article "The Bry-
ant Madison Game, published in the
June issue of the 10Th, | request a
little space in order to lay before the
people the other side of the game,
not that | am looking for sympathy,
as anyone knows no umpire would
get that anywhere.
In the first place a rumor is out
that | was bought, which is untrue,
aud no person even requested me to
favor Bryant, nor did /. You state
Madison refused to play until a new
umpire was installed. Rule 81,
Spalding's official guide: "The um-
pire cannot change umpires by the
consent of the teams unless the Off
cial in charge be incapaciated from
service by injury or illness"
1t is also a mistake about the score,
which was 9 to 0 in favor of Bryant
as that is the only score that can be
called. 1t was also stated that | ACT
ed beyond my authority in FORGETTING
the game as | was requested by the
management not to do so. You state
the ball ground is under the juris-
diction of the home management
which is a mistate as the official guide
governs all games and all rules in re-
gard to games, except a rule allowing
one base on overthrows.
1t is stated | did not allow time
enough. / notified the management
of Madison that unless they played
ball within FIVE minutes / would for
felt the game. Capt. Clapper said
could not forfeit it as | had no auth
ority, told me to try it and said dare
not try it. | allowed eight minutes
in which to arrange matters but it
was not done. IF they could not ar.
range matters in eight minutes it is
hardly probable they would at all.
However, had Capt. Clapper acted a
gentleman and not made threats and
dares things might have been differ
ent.
In regard to the people of De Smet
and vicinity who attended, | am sorry
they did not get to see the game, but
under the official guide by which all
games are governed, it could not be
otherwise. Had il not been for the
sympathy of the crowd it would have
been called sooner as rule 20, section
2 says: "If, after the game has be-
gun, d side refuses to play, unless
the game has been suspended or ter
minated by the umpire, it shall be
declared forfeited by the umpire to
the team not in fault
Very truly,
j. Nj. TRIP.

A True Story of Bruce.

Esther was cross. She had the toothache, but
mother thought it did not ache very much
The truth was that the little girl was considering
Aunt AIMS last remarks and they did not make
her happy
"Seven dolls!' that critical individual had ejacu
lated 81 do think you pamper that child, Ma
rion Why the little girl who lives next door to me
hasn't even one doll, and she doesn't get the suks
either"
Esther did get the sulks. She knew it, and mo
Their knew it; but somehow they both hated to be
reminded of the unpleasant truth.
Aunt Lou saw and heard the whole thing, but
she did not say anything-not then. When Aunt
Ann had fairly gone, she beckoned to the forlom
little figure.
esther" she said, "do you want me to tell you
another true story about Bruce!'
She dearly loved to hear about the big dog
Bruce, which had been her grandmohers pet before
she died and was now cherished by Aunt Lou as
though he had been a child Why, he knew SO
much that he could fairly talk-at least. Aunt Lou
could understand his winnings and tail-waggings
and barkings and dog motions as though they were
words
"Well' saba unit Lou, you know Bruce will mo-
steal He will not take piece of meat that is laid
right down beside him unless he is made to under.
stand it is for him. But neighbor's dog across
the way, whose name is Nep, is not so good. Ner

door I'm sure that poor Nep doesn't have as many
bones as dog would like and l think Bruce thinks
so, too. for listen to what he did one day.

KNOCKING AWAY THE PROPS

See father" said a boy who was walking with
his father 1they are knocking away the props from
under that bridge. What are they doing that for!
Won't the bridge fall!"
~They are knocking them away said the ia
Their, chat the timbers may rest more firmly upon
the stone piers which are now finished"
God often takes away our earthly props that we
may rest more firmly upon Him. He sometimes
takes away mans health that he may rest upon
Him for his daily bread. Before his health failed
though he perhaps repeated daily the words, "Give
us this day our daily bread" he looked to his own
industry for that which he asked of God That
prop being taken away, he rested wholly upon Gods
bounty. When he receives his bread he receives it
as a gift of God.
God takes away our friends that may look
to Him for sympathy When our affections were
exercised upon objects around us, when rejoiced
in their abundant sympathy, did not feel the
need of divine sympathy, felt our need of Gods
sympathy and support. We were brought to real
ize that He alone give support, and form ad-
equate portion for the soul Thus are our earthly
props removed. that we may rest firmly and wholly
upon God.-Calendar.

Secrets of a Happy Life,

On the walls of an old ladies' home hangs the
photograph of a womanly face of rare sweetness
strength and serenity. The key to this life is
found in the following set of rules, tasefuy print
ed and enclosed in the same frame with the photo
graph;
You sometimes see woman whose old age is
exquisite as was the perfect bloom of her youth.
She seems condensed sweetness and grace. You
wonder how this has about; you wonder how
it is that her life has been long and happy one.
Here are some of the reasons:
She knew how to forget dsagreeable things.
She understood the art of enjoyment.
She kept her nerves well in hand and inflicted
them
She believed in the goodness of her own daugh-
tiers and in that of her neighbors
She cultivated good digestion.
She mastered the art of saying pleasant words.
She did not expect too much from her friends.
She made whatever work came to her congenal.
She retained her Illusions, and did not believe
that all the world was wicked and unkind
She relieved the miserable and sympathized with
the sorrowful
She retained an even disposition and made the
best of everything.
She did whatever came to her cheerfully and
we'll
She never forgot that kind words and smile
cost nothing but priceless treasures to the dis
couraged.
She did unto others as she would be done by:
and now that old age has come to her, and there
is halo of white hair about her head she IS loved
and considered.
These are the secrets of a long life and happy
one.
