ism all creeds are forgotten and we
receive into our hearts new inspir-

spirit and meaning. No more inn

who offered their lives in defence of
their country.
The worthy ebs ervance of our
Memorial day is duty every lover
of home and country owes to lofty
patriotism and heroic valor for
while our soldiers dead, are voiceless
the spirit of their sacrifice will live
and inspire all our nations future.
Memorial day should become a
lasting monument of unselfish, ser.

through which the men whom we
thus honor passed, as they laid in
tears and blood an unchangable
basis of a united and happy country.
There is no brighter day in the
calander than the Memorial day of
American people. This generation
has no sweeter duty than to increase
the love of the people for this day,
and to advance it to position of a
universally accepted national ami

bitterness shall be forgotten and a
great peace possess all hearts.
They whose services we honor
died to accomplish this result. Let
us therefore as the auxiliary of the
Grand Army of the Republic join
with that organization. gathering
where our heroes are sleeping and
strew their last couches with flowers
Throughout this department let
us with praise and prayer, with
suplication and solemn pride in all
their achievments and the great re-
suits of their sacrifices honor them
and bedeck them and tell the world
of their sacrifices and struggles for
the right. John Costigan,
Commander.

Inc DOSCOn DlOOineT girls gave al
exhibition of the national game here
Monday with the local team, and
won the game by score of 10 to 5.
There were six of them dressed in
boomers and three young men as
sisting. Whether all the bloomers
were girls or boys. was a mooted
question. Some of them were sure
girls, and clever ones, both IN ball
playing and coaching.
They travel in car of their own,
and carry canvas to enclose the
grounds, seats, canvas shade etc.,
and make a regular business of
travelling about the country playing
local teams, they of course receiving
the gate money. The party was
well behaved. and attended strictly
to their business.
Three hundred and thirty paid
admissions, and some twenty comps
made up very good audience for
the game Monday, and the Bloomer
management carried away $50 coin
of the realm.
Seats on the bald headed row were
all taken early, because every man
in town who told his wife he was
very busy was right their with a
clean shave and new nectie. Score
cards with the girls names on went
like hot cakes, and before two inn
ings the old boys and the young
boys knew the girls by their first
names-and told 'em so.
The game was lively exhibition
and every body appeared to get
their moneys worth of amusement.
Letters of regret were received
from Rob Wareing of Rec Heights,
Charley Halbig of Glendale, Pete
Geiver of Spring Lake, B. F. Mag
ness of st. Lawrence, and Patsy
Dunn of Miller stating that, owing
to circumstances over which they
had no control, they were compelled
to remain at home. Friends secur.
ed photos of the girls to send to
them.
Efforts were also made to get the
lawyers and court house people to
close up for the game, and comps
were sent to the editors, but they
couldn't tear themselves away from
business.
They say Walt Haefs umpired the
game, and did it well.
