Maud Mu||or Sets a Hen.

Maud Muller on a summers day
Set a hen in the brand-new way,
MAUD, you see, was a city girl
She covered the box with tinsel gay,
Lined it snugly with new-mown hay,
Filled it nicely with eggs, and then
Started to look for a likely hen.
Out of the flock she selected one
And then she thought her work was
done;
1t would have been, but the stubborn
hen
Stood up and cackled "Ka-doot," and
then
Maud Muller came and with panied
surprise
Looked coldly into the creatures eyes.
She tied it's legs to the box. "You
bet"
She said, 81 know how to make you
set!'
But still it stood, and worse and worse
Shrieked forth its wrongs to the uni

persistent opportunities to re-
turn to his home at Hastings,

Register of Deeds of his home
county, Dakota county, Min

that place. Mr.. Then liked Hope
and his position here, but with
assurance of good prospects for
election to the position, which is
a lucrative one, finally decided to
enter the race. Mr.. Then is a

was very popular here and his

leave, but wish him success in
his candidacy.

REAL BALL

The prettiest game ever played on
the local diamond was the game Tues
day forenoon between the locals and
Mayyille nine. The only score made
in the entire game was made in the
first inning by Knoblauch and from
that time on the enthusiasts had the
pleasure of feasting their eyes on one
OF the best games ever played in the
state barring none. Hoar was in
the box for the locals and Lynch for
Mayville. The following is the score:
1234 E 7 80
Mayville, 000O000OO o. 0
Hope, 100000 -1
Hits-Mayville, 6, Hope, 3; 3 base
hits-Knoblach; errors-Mayyille 2,
Hope L.; Stolen bases-Mayville, l,
Hope, 5; Struck out by Hoar IL;
Lynch 10. Umpire Burner.
SECOND GAME.
The game at 4 o'clock was not up
to the standard of the forenoon game
by many odds. Barring the aerial
navigation trip the locals were taking
during the first three innings they
played a shut out game. but before
they got back on earth again May
vile succeeded in running in 8 cores
During this little balloon ascension,
however, Mayvile was not satisfied to
play ball all the time but wanted to
join the Hope boys in the trip SO let
in two scores in the first, two in the
second and one in the sixth which left
the score up to the eighth inning 5 to
8 in favor of Mayville. Mayville boys
again went off on another aerial trip,
and so started out on a little sight-see-
ing expedition Of their own during the
eighth inning and during their flight
the Hope boys chased themselves
around the diamond four times which
gave the locals one score to the good
at the end of the eighth inning. In the
ninth inning Mayville added another
cipherto theirlist which ended the game.
One main feature of the game was the
home run of Cap. Knoblauch in the
third inning. The score by innings:
123456 7 8 8

Hope wins five straight games the
past week. Seven games out of eight
so far this season, not a bad record.
Four out OF eight being shut out games.
The first, of the five games played
the past week were the two Hannaford
games last Friday on the local dia-
mond.
The first game was called at 200 p.
M. with Hoar in the box and dad"
Law behind the bat for the locals
Scheuncht and Greitt were at the points
for the visitors. From what could be
learned the Hannaford aggregation
came over expecting to show Hope the
game, but the locals had the visitors
outclassed at every point. The game,
however was a snappy one n full OF
interest. The following is the score
by innings:
1234567s9

HANNAFORD-HOPE
Second Game.
In the second game Hannaford did
not show up any stronger than in the
forenoon and as a result the game was
'seasy money" for the Hope bunch,
as it proved to be nothing but
a big zero SO far as scores for
Hannaford were concerned.
Lane was in the box for the locals
and did some nice work having nine
~strike-outs to his credit. Leiser
was at the hub for Hannaford and
pitched a good game, striking out sever
men. The following is the score:

HANNAFORD-HOPE, BIRD GA ME
At Hannaford.
The Hope boys drove over to Han
naford last Monday to play the return
games. The first game was called a
300 O'Clock. The game was of tn
real article variety, and the Hannafor'
bunch was playing better ball thai
they put up on the local diamond las
Friday and managed to run in fou
scores, while Hope pounded the leathe
for six runs. This gave Hope thre
straight games.

given up and the umpire thought he
would try his hand and would show
the Hope boys that if they would but
stay by him he would hand them a
bunch, but before the game was we'll
started, his intentions in the matter
became SO evident that the Hope ag-
gregation quietly picked up their be-
longings and drove home. The crowd
from here say that it was about the
,rankest piece of work from a base ball
standpoint ever attempted. Such work
will never bring a town o ball team
