Little Ones Have an Inning.

All the tots were there Monday-at
the "Little Bearer" reception given at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. G. B. Phi
fer-and Oakes mothers were justified
in the belief that nowhere are there
prettier babies with laughing, dancing
eyes and roses in their cheeks, than
right here at home.
The Little Bearer" reception is an
innovation with the ladies of the Mis-.
sionary Society of the Methodist church
and annually they bring the babies to
this reception, paying fee of 25 cents
for each one, which goes into the mis-.
sion fund. Upon this occasion there
were forty babies and thirty-five ladies
present and the large array of go-carts,
baby buggies, carriages, cabs anc
miniature automobiles on the Phife,
lawn was pleasing and unusual sight
A jolly time was had, made more en-
joyable by the serving of delicious re
freshments.

TOWN BUILT ON TOP OF ROCK
Ancient Human Habitation Known to
Have Been Constructed Many
Centuries Ago.

It would undoubtedly be a peculiar
sensation to live on top Of mush'
room. If the mushroom were Of gi-
gantic proportions and were planted
so q to overhang the sea, the expert
ence would be very similar to that
Of living in the town of Acoma, which

which the town stands is splendid
specimen of fantastic erosion. having
overhanging sides nearly 400 feet
high. The top Of the rock is compare
lively level, and is about 70 acres in
extent. 1t is indented with numer-
Gus great bays, and is notched with
dizzy chasms. The greater portion of
1t overhangs the sea like an immense
mushroom. and the strangest part of
all is that 1t has town on top.

zation. 1t is one of the most perfect
specimens Of the prehistoric Pueblian
architecture. With inconceivable labor
this town In the air was built and
fortified for the safety of its inhabi-
tants.. 1t was reached by a mere trail
Of toe-holes up the stem Of the mush-
room. The age of the town is not
known, but 1t was already old in 1910,
when the first explorers visited 1t and
wrote an account of its wonders, its
people and their strange mode of liv.

Choral Society Meets.

The local Choral Society held its
regular monthly meeting Monday night
at the home of Miss Ina Denning, and
added new evidence that this society s
good work is appreciated and is being
given the credit it deserves; in that
about 40 members were present, and
several new members were enlisted.
The object of the society is to aid in
improvement of the musical culture of
the town, as we'll as to provide pleasant
social diversions.
Miss Denning carried out the Japa-
nese plan in decorating the lawn, and
it presented a pretty spectacle of tastily
arranged seats, lanterns and rugs.
Dainty refreshments were served.

The above tells only a part of the
story of the first of a three game
series of baseball which was
played on the local diamond Sun
day afternoon between the married
and single men. The gam, was as in
teresting as any played here this year,
and there were very few bad errors.
There was "a fair attendance.
The chen 'pecked" aggregation were
particularly strong with the fail, bav-
ing Just closed an active season of
spring carpet beating. They all slap
ped Mr.. 'Reach's spheroid in the face
and other parts of its anatomy with a
'persistency that deserved victory. Bot
too often there efforts went high into
the agitated atmosphere and the gale
that swept across the field juggled Will,
them until single fielder got beneath.
The single outfield did the more eff
|ffective work but the double harness an

fast clean work.
NOTES ON THE GAME.
'Herzog played his best game Of the
season at third.
Travellers Olcs and Resnert did good
|ljtbtof umpiring.
1t'was a rapid game, lasting 'onay an
hour and forty minutes.
Guy, Taber aud Jut Bush were the
star: wielders of the war clubs.
Ivan 'Maercklein got married just in
time to get into the game and did good
back stopping.
Gale and Anderson did dexeellentwork
at short and second, having many
chances and but one error each.
Taber had his old batting eye but
}could,not change gears quick enough to
negotiate those wind tossed flies in
lright.
Jut Bush looks like an old Lacquer
when he gets his uniform on, and glons
them out Of the air or cnt of the dirt
around sirst-its all the. same to him.
Attorney Guy proved that he knows
how todo other things than fire off
Blackstone; and delve after legas iprece-
dents. He, batted 1000, "a hit every
thine up.
Gus Anderson was about as lucky as
the;man who runs six blocks and miss
es the last train for home by fhree
seconds. Helhit the ball a good rap
every time and never made first.
The sporting editor has it doped ,out
that things will be different next Sun
|.daytwhen:the score keeper strikes q
balance. Unless these 'fussers" brace
up Acknowledgment lot there will
be boards to nail on the fence.
Doc..Gxle at short let the first one
|go through. Then he got mad aud never
in his life did he exercise more deter
mination in clinciiing a refractory
mdsar with . pair of forceps than he
did in taking clean the seven or eight
other chances he got. And he plugged
the ball accurately to first every time,
too.
In fact they all played so well that If
q big league scout had been present it
Is hard to tell which one he woul:: have
grabbed away from his happy home
with . 5000 salary offer. But joshing
aside these benedicts played the better
game but things did not break right for
them. The more youthful athletes
!played..a good game, a trifle sloppy
and overconfdent at times.
