THE departure of Quentin Roosevelt
on his southern trip solved the
mystery of the Force school, Through.
out the winter one of the boys in
the class of children about Quentin's s
age has been lavishing hothouse bios
SONS on his teacher.
Repeated inquiries brought out only
the fact that the flowers had been
given to the youthful donor. Quentin
left the city and simultaneously the
daily floral gift failed to make its ap-
pearance. Now it transpires that the
flowers came from the White House
conservatory.
Quentin and the boy had made a
bargain. The presidents son was to
furnish stipulated number of bios
SONS each day in return for lot of
milk tops" which is schoolboy YER
nacular for the disks of pasteboard
which milk dealers use In the tops OF
milk bottles.

Great was the astonishment of per-
sons who observed them to see that
they seemed to be on terms of good
acquaintance with the menu card
of the pale face. Little Wolf, the
aged chief Of the Arapahoes, who is
said to be well toward a hundred
years old, and whose countenance is
withered and weakened, wasn't a bit
abashed and went through his part of
the performance with as much ease
and grace as if he had been debu
tante fresh from finishing school at
pink tea. Yellow Dog was as suave
as a diplomat, and never once tried
to cut his lettuce with his knife. Sena-
tor Warren himself was surprised and
was obliged to call forth his best
Massachusetts avenue manners to
keep apace with his guests.
Some of those that saw what hap
pened wondered if the Arapahoes and
Shoshones all are as polished as the
party with Senator Warren. Just
think of one of Fenimore Cooper's In

for consomme and using napkin and

Base Ball DOings

Last Thursday night a part of
our regular baseball nine left for
Lemmen, S. D., to play ball with
the fast hired team of that city.
On account of extra work on
the road. Frank Phelan, our star
short stop could not get away.
We had no time to get anyone in
his place, because he had a mes
sage at l a.. 10. ,hat he had to stay
here and work. On account of
the recent cyclone at Clinton in
which Geo. Pnelan was hurt, Ed.
Phalen was obliged to take his
place in the depot at Clinton and
could not get away. 1t is a
recognized fact that these two
boys, Ed and Frank, are Two of
the best hitters, in fact, two OF
the best men on the team Mr..
Harlel our star first baseman
was absent on a trip TO The cities
aud his hitting ability vas also
missed at Lemmen, altho those
men who we're substituted did
very we'll indeed. but still the
hitting was lessend a good deal.
1t would have been no particular
advantage TO the boys to have
won only IN name. because they
we're hit ed for the day by the
entertainment committee of
Lemmen and all they we're sup
posed TO do Was to play oall and
they did it to the best Of their
ability and gave Lennon
ties a run for their money.
Lemmen lined up as follows
Borreson, 1st base and O'Conner,
short stop, both from the Ameri-
can Association; ZuIaski, center
field, from the Western league;
Burns, catcher, from 1907 Web.
ster team; Olson, pitcher. from
1907 Webster team: Hobson, left
fielder, from Iowa league; Muel-
Ter, third base. from 1907 Web
ster team; Wilco1. End base. from
Iowa league; and Haight, a semi
professional right fielder.
This made a Formidable aggre-
CATION and one that trimmed
He,tinger, N. D., Is to 0 in five
innings the day before the
fourth. 1t was the opinion of
everyone IN Lemmen that our
boys had no chance whatever.
and they were surprised and
also compelled to miss their din
ners in order to see the extra
inning exhibition settled. as our
boys gotta score IN the fourth
inning and maintained the lead
until the eighth, when with u
little help from the umpire, Lem
mon tied the score. The ninth,
tenth and eleventh went blank
to both and in the twelfth a hit,
a foul ball to right field and d
squeeze play decided the long,
interesting contest.
1t was no disgrace to loss
after such a noble battle, but
had the umpire been less afraid
Of the fans on the side lines, d
foul ball in the 12sh inning would
have been called a foul instead
of fair. The umpire seemed to
think that the COW boys ana
broncho busters would seriously
disable him if they didn't get
more than their share, and he
certainly handed the Lemmen
bunch everything he could. ex
