Griffith Can Own Plankinton.

Plankinton Mail: When Rube Fur
elmer left Plankinton Thursday to
join the Cincinnati ball team at At
lanta, Ca, his condition was a mat
ter of concern to his friends, as he
needs all his old-time strength and
health in order to make good his
berth with the national leaguers. It
is plain that he is greatly handicap
ped to start with, as it will take him
some weeks to get into condition be-
fore he starts training. But the fol-
lowing from the Kansas City sporting
news indicates that Manager Griffith
of the Reds is going to give him
every opportunity to make good, and
will keep him until he is fit. if he
doesn't get into the game until late
in the season. He considers Rube
a m and will hang onto him:
Present indications are that Pitch
er AL Furchner, the husky giant Sc
cured from Sioux City, will be late in
reporting. Pat Raglan, who spent the
winter in Omaha brought the inform
alton that the carving done on Fur
chner's wish-bone in Sandy Girls
wold's town has reduced the twirler
to something resembling an invalid,
and while he is convalescing, it prob
ably will be some weeks before he is
able to do strenuous work. How
ever, that will not bar him from a
real trial with the Reds. Everybody
speaks SO highly of Furchner,' de-
clared Manager Griffith, before he de-
parted for the south, chat I'll give
him every opportunity to make good
even though he doesn't report until
the season is on. He's too promising
a. nan to be turned down Just be-
cause he's had a little trouble at this
particular stage of the game"
That man Griffith can own this
little old town anytime he wants to
call for the deed.

DoBsoN WON THE CONTEST
Second Son of the Dobson Family of
Orators Won the Contest 10 so
to Huron i'll May.

James NJ. Dobson, With his SPLEEN
did Grafton on Our Pacific Outlook
| will be the representative of Dakota
| Wesleyan University at the Inter
Collegiate Oratorical contest to be
held at Huron May 2O-21. Second
place was accorded Samuel Marble
with his Grafton, Benedict Arnold"
The twenty-second annual local
contest was held in the city hall aud
itorium Friday night before an aud
fence composed of enthusiastic stu
dents and interested townspeople.
The hall was appropriately decorated
with the colors of the two rival Soc
ieties of the institution, the Kappas
and Daedalians.
After a few selections by the Uni
versity band the program was open
ed by Prof. Fullinwider in a violin
solo. His playing as usual mel with
hearty appreciation and he respond
ed to an encore. Miss Georgia Scott
was the accompanies.
The program of orations was open
ed by Miss Ethel Shepherd with her
grafton Triumph Supreme" This
was a delineation of the character of
Jean val Jean from Hugo's novel
Lies Miserables." A keen analysis
was presented on this strong fiction
character. Val Jeans ability to rise
above the carnal was eloquently por-
trayed. The whole grafton was a
glowing tribute to the mar of the
world typifed by Jean val Jean.
Fred James vas the second speaker
with his Grafton on The Challenge"
This Grafton was a strong character
ization of the two mighty opposing
forces that are now clashed in con
met in this country, capital and la
Dor. James presented a strong state
ment of the qualities that made up
the modern captain of industry and
also the dangers and temptations that
beset the way of the laboring class.
Adpol was SHo"h W oS .HS pai"iec
of society which it was the duty of
the rising American to make stable
and permanent. His whole Grafton
was an appeal for the men of Amer
lea to devote themselves to the work
ing out of their country's social and
economic questions.

ure of American history. Mr.. Sun

expected. Col. F. M. Woods, Of Lin

derlin grouped his thoughts in fine
diction and his delivery was excel
lent. He had a fine conception of
the character of Lincoln. The whole
life of Lincoln was reviewed from
the early days in Kentucky, as g
rail splitter and boatman, as a law
yer, and as a guiding hand in the
dark hours of the rebellion. The
ethics of Lincoln and the seeming
hand of providence in all his acts
were strongly emphasized. The
speaker characterized Lincoln as the
first American.
Following Sunderlin came the
winner of the contest, James Dob
son. His grafton on THE Pacific Out
look" was a study of the political
changes that are liable to be con
sumated on the Pacific and the part
that America may have in it. A
strong comparison was made of the
nations that may have a hand in
the conflict. Dobson's Grafton was
clear cut and forceful throughout.
1t showed a deep study of the poll
tical conditions affecting world gov
ernments and policies. The grafton
was delivered in a direct ard con-
vincing n and Dobson should
be close in it at the finish at the
state contest.
Following Dobson came his closest
opponent, Samuel w. Marble, who
spoke on Benedict Arnold" Mr..
Marbles Grafton showed a deep
study of the man and his character
istics. His comparison of Arnold
and Judas Iscariot was especially
good. The stormy and emotional
career Of Arnold was reviewed and
the motive shown for many Of his
actions. His pathetic. end. deserted
by friend and foe alike. was por-
trayed In a burst Of true eloquence.

BUSINESS MEN WINNERS
The High School Lads Fell Beneath
the I'rowess of the Business
Men in Basketball.

The high school basket ball games
at Re city hall Wednesday evening
resulted in the business men Win
ni9s over the high school by a score
of 80 to 21 and the freshman de-
feating the sophomores 90 to IA.
I'oth games we're good and exciting
from start to finish.
The business mems team was COM
posed OF Branson, Dix, Hardy, Kim
ball and Atkinson and the high
school team of Aspinwall, Storer,
Wiltse, Belts and vassar. This game
was exceedingly good, as both teams
were out for blood. Branson did some
clever work as forward, although he
had considerable advantage in heigth
over his high school guard. Aspin-
wall and Wiltse were in the game all
the time, both in helping out their
w men M watching their OPP
ponents.
The lineup of the sophomore team
was Collins, Lester, Harbert, Shipton,
and Berry and the freshman WEIGH,
Derr, Leo Rowley, Cook and Nicolin.
This game was rather rough and
some Intellectual plays made but on
the whole it was exciting enough to
keep the spectators on edge. Both
teams encouraged by roofing
from their respective classes. Prof.
Warfeld of the University, acted as
referee.

As u speaker Marble had a firm
hold on his audience.

uolQ on MS auGlence.
The final Grafton was by Ernest
Mashburn on ''The Grand Old Man.
This was a study of one of the pre-
dominant figures of English history
and politics, Vim. l.wert Gladstone.
This is the man to whom England
points with pride and to whom she
is indebted for some of the guiding
principles of government. Washburn
paid a deep tribute to Gladstone as
a man and as a leader of the unpop-
| ular in politics. The Grafton was pre-
sentel forcefully and with a good
effect upon the audience.
While the judges were making
their decision the band PLAYED sew
eral pieces to keep the audience in
good humor. When Miss Gregusoa
president of the association appear
ed upon the platform a hush fell up
on the audience, and all we're expect
ant to hear the name of their favor

was announced as having Won sec

The orators stood as follows in
rank: Dobson, Marble, Shepherd,

The Kappas and Daedalians We'd
with each other in their demonstra-
lions after the decision had been an
nounced. Dobson belongs to the
Kappas and some of the members Of
society went to a great deal of work
to arrange a scheme whereby they
could work off the surplus energy in
cas- their representative won. They
arranged and rugged up a whistle
chime, having three large whistles.
These were attached to the boiler in
the basement and connected with a
pipe which permitted the whistles to
be placed in the auditorium behind
a curtain. A register was removed
from the floor to get the whistles
through. When the time came to
blow the whistles something was
wrong with one of them and had to
be removed to discover the cause. 1t
was fixed, however, in time to give
the winner a good sendoff. The Dae-
dalians got a little the start of the
kappas with the iron disc cymbals,
which created enough racket to
drown out the sound of the whistles
at first, but when the whistles got
to working we'll there was nothing
doing for the Daedalians.
After the excitement had abated
somewhat the two societies adjourn
ed to cafes where their representa-
tives were banqueted.

AIDS TO APPETITE
DAINTY TOUCHES ON TABLE
MEAN MUCH.
Effective Garnishing Of Dishes More q
Matter of Taste Than Money
Flowers or Leaf for Finger
Bowl.


Have you ever stopped to wonder
how tomatoes would taste il they
were not such a pretty red; or if
French creams would tempt US If
served in the form of hash? It takes
a little more trouble to serve a meal
in dainty form, but how much better
the plainest food tastes? The shin
ing linen and silver. the sprlg of green
on shining meat platter and the neat
rice mold with tomato sauce, all serve
to transform the pickup wash-day
meal.
GaTnishing is more a question of
taste and time than money Through
most of the year a few leaves picked
from shrubs or trees and tucked in on
the edges of platter of meat or fruit
enhance the appearance of the dish,
while for the other months parsley
can easily be raised in window box.
Most people win garnish their meats
with a few sprigs of green and neg
lect all other dishes. Fruit looks
much more inviting II it is set in a
bed of green or has clusters of foliage
put among it. AS far as possible use
the natural foliage. Grape leaves are
excellent for large fruits as canta-
loupes, and the nasturtium leaves and
tendrils are effective on salad that is
not set on lettuce hearts.
A touch of color always looks well
combined with the green; thus the
small sweet peppers or cherry toma-
tees should be raised in every garden,
even if one has but a small vegetable
patch in a city yard.
Carrots. beets. cucumbers, lemons
in slices or sections, hard-boiled eggs
and the tiny yellow tomatoes all lend
themselves to garnishing. Candied
fruit is equally effective, but costs
more than the average housewife can
afford.
Oysters are improved by sections Of
lemon and sprigs of mint through the
ice. Indeed, cracked ice may be used
artistically instead of merely as a
chiller. Raw oysters or grape fruit
may be just as cold to the palate if
they have been set in the refrigerator
for hours and served without ice, but
it certainly will not be so attractive
to the eye as when passed in a bed
OF shaved ice.
A finger bowl should always have a
few flowers or leaf fioatInS on the
ss,rface of the water. Rose geranium
I leaves and lemon yerbena are deli
cious; while a few nasturtium bios
SONS give a charming touch of color.
Do not think such garnishing is I'M
! necessary Tor the simple family meal;
i it adds "a refining touch that goes a
long way toward rIIaisiz1s up scanty

A Bald Remark.

supper. and every table IN a certain
well-known Broadway restaurant was.
occupied.
A man who had partaken OF far
more liquid than solid refreshment
arose from one of the front tables and
steered a devious course between the
tables toward the cigar counter. His
course was so erratic that he attract
ed the attention of every one.
Seated at one Of the tables was a
young man whose hair had reached
that state of defamation in which II
must be combed with mathematical
precfsion-every hair being carefully
laid where it will cover the most
scalp.
The center-of-attracdon halted at
this table and. fixing his gaze upon
the young mans scanty thatch, spake
thus:
Excuse me. stranger. Ny wife
says I'm getting bald; but I'll be
hanged II I'm near as bald as you
are"
And then he continued on his way
to the cigar counter But he was no
longer the center of attraction; the
young man of the scanty thatch had
succeeded to that distinction.
