iocKen up-put away in cup
board-and rarely seen. Only the
d people inside the house know of its
S existence. But the skeleton, new
f ertheless, cannot long be concealed
. 1t comes to light someway or an
: other. The most common skeleton
is poverty. Poverty is great Sc
cret, kept at any pains by one-half
OF the world from the other half.
When there is nothing laid by
nothing saved to relieve sickness
when it comes-nothing to alleviate
the wants of old age, then is the
skeleton hidden away in many a
cupboard. We do not value money
for it's own sake, and we should be
the last to encourage miserly de-
sire to hoard among any class, but
we cannot help recognizing in mon
ey the means of life, the means of
life, the means of comfort, the
means of maintaining an honest in
dependence. We would, therefore,
recommend every young man and
woman who read this paper to be-
gin life by learning to save; to Law
up for the future certain portion
of every weeks earnings, be it
little or much; to avoid consuming
every week or every year the earn
ings of that week or year; and we
counsel them to do this, as they
would avoid the horrors of depend
ence, destitution and beggary. It
is true saying that a penny in the
purse is better than friend at
court. The first penny saved is a
step in the world. The fact of it's
being saved and laid up indicates
self-denial, forethought, prudence
and wisdom. 1t may be the gem of
future happiness, the beginning of

Old Adam is still alive, and as

ROYAL ARCH HAS
DURKINDOCTRINE

The Royal Arch, the saloon
mems organization, elected state
officers and adjourned last night
after adopting a series of resolu-
tions designed to reform the liquor
business to great extent if car
ried out. Strict obedience to all
legal regulations and restrictions
against allowing women in sa-
looms, or men who can't afford it
to spend all their money for drink,
are among the things recommend
ed. The organization appears to
have borrowed largely from Jimmy
Durkin's celebrated doctrine. Aid
ing in the abolition of dives is an
other good resolve the Royal Arch
made, and there is to be a general
effort to elevate the social posi-
ton of the liquor traffic.

hut its owner is the hero of Hi
nois lust now. If President Taft
and Burns were introduced in
Decatur, the latter would get the
noisest reception, for he's the lad
who pitched and won the &c in
ming game for Decatur against
Bloomington. breaking the worlds
long distance record.
Opposed on the mound by Pitch
er Clark, one of the best in the
Three-I league, Burns held up
his end and was fresher at the fin
ish than his more experienced op-
ponent.
What makes Burns feat the
more noteworthy is the fact that
1t was his first game this season.
Found pitching independent ball
at Greenville, O., last year, he was
signed by Decatur as an outfielder
because he could hit. Then he was
used in the infield, and when the
team needed a pitcher he volun-
teered. Having shown something

Two shady decisions by Flynn
took the game away from Spo-
kane and landed it inside the
Black Cats corral after IL in
nings. Things were first doing in
the bowling line for the Indians
in the seventh, when with the
bases full Flynn called foul that
bounded outside of third base a
fair ball, letting in score for
Aberdeen. Flying hair and echoes
of naughty language was just set
thing again when Flynn got anoth-
er bee in his bonnet and called
Pernoll's foul tip strike, giving
Bower, who had just scrambled in,
legitimate run. This was all far
too much for "Daddie"' Brown and
he went right up on his ear. Ev-
erything ended up by Brown being
shooed off the grounds and the
game went on.
From that seventh inning on 1t
was a matter of nip and tuck-a
run. on either side meaning that
the game was won. In the 18th
Swain pounded the ball over the
right field fence for home run
to get that one more score.
James was called to Seattle,
where one of his little baby boys
is dead. Weed filled his place at
second. Jensen's pitching is EASILY
explained in the fact that Aber-
deem got but five hits off of him
in IL innings. Pernoll pitched for
Aberdeen. 1ec

LYNCH GANG GETS
GREEDY AGAIN

That game between Seattle and
Vancouver looked awfully punk to
those Canadian fans. Seattle put
1t on Vancouver for a victory of
5 to 3, and just for that the whole
infield on the champion team is
blamed for the loss. Seaton pitch
ed for Seattle and was in a pinch
three or four times during the
game but was fortunate enough to
get out of them. Hall twirled for
the Champs.

THE BOX STORY OF THE GREAT GAME

in practice, he was picked to pitch
Decoration day.
1t was the intention to play a
double-header, and 1900 Blooming
ton fans turned out for the bar
gain. At o'clock the game be-
gan, and at 1905 it ended, when
Purtell smashed a three-base hit
against the fence in right, scoring
Fisher.
Bloomington scored a run in
the first inning on an error, a steal
and a hit. Decatur tied the score
in the third, and from this point
to the twenty-sixth not a glimmer
of a run was to be seen.
Burns is not pulled up over his
performance and the attention
paid to him. He is modest and
rarely speaks unless spoken to.
Tall and well built, he is but %.
and apparently has bright base
ball future.
