Witmeyer pitched for the locals in the first game. and was touch ed up for 12 hits. while four was all that tbe Orators could get off Hack SShaJnan- Hack almost scored a shut out. but Hits single and Iadd's triple scored the lone run in the ninth.

The present Eastern trip of the De- troits will have an important bearing on the teams ability to win another American League pennant. Manager Jennings says that if the Tigers can win more than two-thirds of their games in New York, Boston Philadel- phia and Washington, they will go home in excellent shape to make the final rush to the wire. But it is gem orally admitted that the Detroits are not so formidable as they were a year ago and that they will have to play phenomenal ball to come up to the ex- pectations of their hustling manager.

Hello Hollister.

Is it funny. queer or just. Some
time since we wrote to a gentleman
connected with the Free Lance,
HolIister, Calf, asking: DO you
know of any one near your town
that wants to employ good hand?
One that wants to be in a christian
family and close enough to Hollis
ter to attend church"
The man wanting work has had
no reply and we are at a loss to
know whether it is because there is
no work to do or no christian fami-
lies near Hollister, Calf.

A Sermon in Rhyme.

If you have friend worth loving,
Love him: Yes, and let him know
That you love him ere life's evening
Tinge his brow with sunset glow;
Why should good words ne'er be
said
OF a friend till he is dead?
Scatter thus your seeds of kindness
All enriching as you 60;
Leave them; trust the Harvest-giver
He will make each seed to grow.
So, until hfe's happy end,
You shall never lack a friend.

Against a Raise.

And now they propose to double
the Presidents salary. 1t used to
be $4,000, now it is $4,000 and if
some have their way it will be
100000 This seems a useless
waste of money as there seem to be
plenty of men willing to take it at
present salary. 1t is claimed the
big Corporations pay more than
100000 to their presidents and as
the government as bigger corpo-
ration it should do the same. No
man is worth 100000 a year in
any position. That is, men for half
the money could do the same and
the government should not encOur-
age any such precedent. The pres
ent salary with its perquisites is
ample for the President. - Moberly
