Our dear old friend Mr.. Nugent was

over the vets. Some declare he rob-

counter. If he did not. it was no fault
of his Close plays on the bags were
numerous and came in every inning,
but the scorers failed to record any
one of them that so much as slightly
favored the home club This is not,
however. criticism of Nugent and
his work, for the many brilliant fea-
lures of the game so overshadow his
shortcomings that it is unnecessary to
dwell upon them especially as the
battles have passed into history
That Blue Jacket was denied
victory in the opening assault was
really no fault of his own. for the
verdict should have gone 10 the In.
dian without a struggle 1t was his

! second may partially be attributed to
his team mates. The big chief allow
ed only four hits and struck out ten

eight safties and but two of them

the plate by Quincy in Keokuk's big
5fnning-the sixth-and it was here
that the best chance was lost. In
that single round Jerger was found
for just half the hits Keokuk made.
l Quincy's first chance to score came
in the second round when Donahue

BY Helen r. Douglas, Aged II Years, 1881
G Street, Lincoln, Neb. Blue Side,
Teddy is the name OF a spaniel dog, His
hair is long and shaggy He Is all black
except his four legs, and they are brown.
He is about year old and he isn't very
large.
Teddy will sit up and beg for things to
eat He will also sit up and hold pipe
his mouth II you tell him to watch you
and not let anybody touch you, he will. II
anybody does try to touch you he will snap
at them.
This dog likes candy awfulyy well, so one
day left some on the porch and went into
the house. When l came out saw that
Teddy had taken the candy and was eating
It, made him give It to me and / said to
him, bad dog" Pretty soon he came and
put his head down at my feet and barked
as II he said, I'm sorry" l petted him
and gave him the candy back. He eats as
much candy as anybody else In the family.
Teddy used to run out and bark at the
street cars, One day he ran In under the
street car and came out between the two
side wheels He then ran as fast as he
could around in the back yard. 1t did not
hurt him, but scared him so bad that he
does not run out to bark at the street cars
any more.

Come little one come with me-"

A lovely fairy with gauzy wings;
With lots OF jewels and other things
She had beautiful smile on her face;
Her slippers were made OF the finest

And she wore a golden crown on her

And to the hill she gently led
But when she came 10 the hillside
She said some low, low words,
And instantly the hili opened
And ] saw some shining swords;
! saw some big wax dolies.
She said they were ali my own.
And she showed me a beautiful palace
Standing all alone
Some fairies with smiling faces,
And beautiful dresses and laces
And as a fairy gave me a ring,
Some beautiful voices began 20 stag
But just then everything melted

opened my eyes and knew 1t was
For through the window the sun was

And all the flowers in the meadow were

Then her companions. seeing that advice
and friendly council made no impression
on her, turned their attention TO other
things and left her to her own thoughts.
The ants and bees and other Insects were
coming to make short calls, and, although
the lily had always loved them, she ignored
them on this morning and stood head erect
and face froWning while the others ahout
her chatted in friendly way with the
visitors.

friends you will hold your heads down in

their way"
All save the lily took the warning and
bent themselves low into the heavy green
meadow grass entirely hiding themselves
from the eve OF a chance passer-by. Rut
lily stood more erect than ever, trying
TO catch the attention OF the children.
