Dainty Rolling Mill.

Dainty Rolling mIn.
l was just entering upon my thirty
fourth year when. owing TO the failure
of my wife's father, ] found myself
obliged to make living.
l had often wondered where all the
steel rails came from, and now L de-
termined to go into the business of
supplying them toNrailroad companies
Having learned through careful inqui-
~ that nearly all of them were made
in rolling mills. persuaded the owner
of a bankrupt iron foundry to convert
it into Il rolling mill. Then l went to
a good reliable machinery man on the
next block and told him to send me
some Of the very best rolling mill ma
chinery that he had in his store.
Meanwhile my noble wife had not
been idle. and by the time 1 was
ready to begin operations she had in
duced several of the most brilliant wO-
meD in society to agree TO buy all
their steel rails of us. Touched by
her unselfish devotion. 1 clasped her
in my arms. while the tears cOursed
down my checks.
Then I called on a railroad presi-
come self supporting and asked him TO
buy some Of nay rails. He told me TO
deliver a basketful 70 his place o.
business every Saturday night.
Greatly elated over my prospects.
called together number Of working
men whom ! found idle on the streets
and directed them 10 make some nice
steel rails without delay and take
them around to the kind railroad pres
ident.
Rejoicing at the prospect Of steady
employment. the workinGmen FASTENED
TO obey. and the rails that they made
under my direction proved so durable
that in a very short time / had all the
orders that l could fill
I attribute much Of my success to
the fact that each rail is delivered to
the customer tastefully wrapped in
tissue paper fastened with pink rib

had a tag day together with the Asso-
ciated Charities which was a great
success.
The circle has also been doing the
work of the Babies Friendly society.
The members have made the differ
ent articles and the boxes are dis

needed.
At Christmas 5 baskets were sent
to deserving poor families. Twenty

Of the Cherry sufferers. The circle

In May we furnished a room at the

ISOLATED Charities of the city. Be
sides these specific things we have
done other charity work which has
come to our attention. A donation
of S245O was sent to a tuberculosis
sufferer in Syria. At Christmas time
we always send a box of gifts to the
two old ladies whom we sent to the
Proctor home in Peoria. In January
Miss Sharpe was called to the home

evident that his disease is contagious,
especially among the members of the
other division. The young lady whom
TINS disease has affected most, was
happy and jovial her first two years

90 Champs 3-==
TO- Varsity |.

Before the largest crowd ever gath
cred on the Alumni field to witness
game, the championship team of 1906
defeated this seasons Varsity team by
a score Of 3 to l. Although the cham
pionship team was a little out of prac-
tice vt was 4 fine game to watch. The
battery, Coombs and Dwyer, was in
practice all right and the Varsity men
were retired at will by Coombs except
in one place. Sturtevant met one of
Coombs' swift ones for a two base hit
and was followed by Ralph Good who
planked out a similar one, scoring the
| only man of the 1910 team that crossed
the plate The 1906 team hit Good in
places and in the sixth inning hit him
hard enough for two earned runs, with
third made on errors.
Alumni field certainly presented
gala day appearance with the rows
of autos with their display of silk UNI
brellas and gay attires and the grand
stand and bleachers filled to overflow
ing with friends and supporters of the
college. Tho two teams marched onto
the field together, led by the band and
were greeted by cheer after cheer. The
teams stopped in front of the grand
stand and Capt. Coombs left the ranks
and hoisted the championship banner
on the fiagpole
The game started by the '06 team
| taking the field. Roy Good, the first
! man up, was passed on balls and while
| Sturtevant was striking out stole sec
ond. Ralph Good struck out and Roy
Good was caught while trying to steal
third, ending the inning for Colby.
| Sanders was the first man up for the
| 'O6 team and met the first ball sent
| over for nice clean hit into left field.
He was sent to second on a sacrifice
by Dwyer. Pugsley flied out to Fro
hook and Capt. Coorhbs came to the
bat.
The game was then stopped and DR..
J. +. Hill stepped forward and pre-
| sented Coombs with handsome cop
per etching of the campus and college
buildings, saying;
