''The Blues had put in new finger in the eighth-a scrawny college kid from New Haven I sized him up for a glass arm, and went in to kill tn first one I damned at it with plenty of steam, but it skidded in close to my slats and 1 felt tn wind of it in my shirt. The next thing I heard was the thump of it in the catcher's glove and the Umps callin' 'Strlkey
 q was surprised, and so was tn bleachers But I knew 1t only took one to kill it, and I waited for tn next one. It came sailing along as big as a football, and I figured on drivin it through tn scoreboard and knockin' down somebody on tn street with it. But just as l swung at it it blew out to one side about yard and dropped in the catcher's glove with thud. An then somebody in the bleach CTS hollered: Take him out-hes sold tn game
 Madame, that made me a desperate man. All of my future hung on that next ball. It came lobbin' up like bunch of bananas on string an I aimed for it's nose an let go!'
 He wiped his eye with the back of his hand, overcome by the recollection. T figured on hittin it on tn trade mark, Ma am, as honest as Pm tellin' you this sad story. But it shot up about two inches like a boy sittin on a hornet and I just popped up a little foul that the catcher gobbled like an elephant swallowin' a peanut, Madame. I was out of the battle, an tn Utica Blues had us trimmed to a sowsle.''
 Another big tear rolled down his cheek and he sobbed convulsively.
 Something broke loose In tn bleachers then like a den of Hons smellin fresh meat" he continued "They came down through tn wire nettin' and fell on me in punches of 20 or 30. They thought I had sold 'em out, those mullygrubs I'd helped to fly three battle flags for and they thirsted for my blood. Somebody whis- tied for the police, but before they came a pop bottle got me on the head and went down for the count. It was a crime, Ma am, tn things they did to me.
 "The police pried 40 or 50 of them off my scalp, laid me on door and six of em carried me to the hospital. They sewed me up In couple of hours and was six weeks on a bed. When l got out was canned!'
 "Canned!' she exclaimed
 "Yes, m, canned!" he repeated. "Canned Extinguished! Bushleagued. Chased! Firedl And all because a col- lege kid from New Haven sent em up crooked from tn firm line. We never used crooked ones in tn old days, Mad ame They was new to me. Up to that time I was hero, but just because I fell down that once and didn't deliver tn goods they shot me down tn chutes |"
 He strode thoughtfully down the road and the sweet-faced old lady watched him sympathetically.
 "The poor old veteran!" she exclaimed T wonder what battle it was.

What Kind of an "office 2"

 Once upon a time a child who was asked on an examination paper to define a mountain range, replied, "A large-sized cook stove.'' The same method of reas- oning seems to go with older growth. A recent scientific paper at the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale contained the question: What is the office of the gas- trio juice?' And the answer in one paper read: "The stomach"

BLAISDELL FOR CONGRESS
Minot Optic Has the Dope and Hands
1t Out Freely - Mccumber and
Hanna for the Senate and Other
Things Which Are Promised BY the
Minot Paper.

Minot Optic: That Secretary of
State Alfred Blaisdell of Minot will
| announce himself as a candidate for
congressional honors appears certain.
| Mr.. Blaisdell himself has been trifie
reticent on the subject, but friends
who are in close touch with him be-
lieve that an announcement may be
forthcoming any day. Regarding the
secretary of states future plans a
close friend said to an Optic represent
tative today: II look for Mr.. Blais-
dell to announce himself as q candi-
date for congressional honors almost
any day. It is true that Mr.. Blais-
dell has time and time said that he
was out of politics, but his friends
have been after him strong to recon
slider. We who have watched Mr.,
Blaisdells work as secretary of state
know his ability and there Is no ques-
ton but what he would receive the
strongest kind of support should he
run for congress. I believe we can
look for an announcement from the
secretary within the very near. fu-
ture." H.
James Johnson of Minot and Judge
Lauder of Wahpeton for congress;
Porter J. McCumber and Louis B.
Hanna for the senate, and Talcott for
governor is the latest in the political
situation, according to a prominent
statesman, who is said to have his
ear to the ground. 1T. is getting
pretty close to time for the making
OF tickets, and from what have been
able to gather believe that the stall;
wart slate will contain the name of
Johnson and Lauder for congress,
McCumber and Hanna for the senate
and Talcott for governor. The differ
emit political wings are but waiting
for Gov. John Burke to make the
senatorial appointment, and as soon
as that is done you may look for
something doing in all branches Of
politics." "....,,.> $500. -

With the closing of entries Novem-
Der I'd, and the announcement Thurs.
| day evening of the names of the
prize winners, another highly sue
cessful grain contest, open to all the
farmers of the state, has been
brought to satisfactory conclusion.
The contest was inaugurated by
Commissioner w. c. Gilbreath of the
department of agriculture and labor,
for the purpose of securing repre-
sentative samples of the grain pro-
ducts of NNorth Dakota, and resulted
! in the entry of over $50 different
varieties of grains and grass seeds.
The prizes offered were liberal ones
| and we'll worthy the attention of all
| who are interested in agricultural
pursuits In addition to the contest
| just closed, the samples will be again
| offered in competition at the Nation
al Corn Exposition which will be open
at Omaha from December 9Th to 18th
of this year. The entries will be

who will thus have had double OPP
portunity of landing substantial
prize and of securing the opinions of
two sets of grain experts On their
product
A detailed discussion Of the differ
ent entries is not necessary at this
time, but when it is remembered that
they are selections from perhaps the
largest and most prolific crop ever
harvested in the state, some idea can
be formed of the quality of the grains
and grasses offered in competition.
The corn exhibit especially was a
revelation to all who saw it, and will
most assuredly be an eye-opener to
any visitors at the Omaha exposition
who are inclined to doubt the corn
producing capabilities of the state of
North Dakota. With those who have
been watching the development of
this grain in the state the conclusion
is certain that the seal of successful
accomplishment has at last been plac-
ed on quarter of century's sus-
tanned effort on the part of our perse-
vering farmers, and that North Da-
kota is now firmly established in the
great corn belt of the United States.
In other cereals the state fully
maintains her established supremacy,
and no finer examples of fife, durum,
and other wheats have ever been Of
fered for public inspection and COM
petition. The same may be said with
equal force of the oats, fax, millet,
and timothy exhibits, all of which are
practically perfect in their class and
we'll worthy to maintain the reputa-
ton of North Dakota in open COM
petition with the rest of the grain
growing world.
The judges, upon whom devolved
the onerous duty of, selecting winners
of the state prizes, were selected for
their intimate and practical knowl
edge of the subject. Their task was
an exceptionally difficult one, such
was the uniform excellence of the in
dividual entries, and their concIus-
ions were reached and the awards |
made only after the most painstak- !
ing scrutiny of each sample.
Below is appended a list of the
prize-winners, followed by a COM
plete list of all the entries as they !
will be re-entered in the Omaha seed |
grain contest.

n Even after the conclusion of the
governor, fortified by the opinion OF
the attorney general, that there is no
constitutional bar against the ap-
pointment by the governor as United
States senator, a member Of the legis-
lature, the. situation does not seem
to be sintpliied to an alarming ex-
tent, and the list of candidates is in
creasing with each incoming mail.
The government recently pulled off
a pretty good sized land lottery. It's
a pity that some of the principles or
mediums attendant ON that enterprise
cannot be applied in the present po-
1itical situation.
