At End of Second Half Score
Mas 15-15--Five Minutes
More Played.
BASKET FOR PURlTANS

The basketball contest between the
Puritan A. c.. and Dexter A. C. ives
last night proved beyond q doubt that
they will be among the leading teams
IN the City Basketball League to start
soon. They played a tie game in Koz-
usko's hall at the weekly dance of the
Puritan A. G. last night and the per-
formance was one of the fastest yet
seen here this season. The tally was
ID to Is after the second half. Five
minutes more were played, but neither
side was able to score. Arrangements
to the effect that the first side to score
would win were then made, and John
Sulfyan made a basket for the Puri-
tans in four minutes, giving them the
game at 8 score of II to- IS.
The game was fast throughout and
rather rough at times. J. Canton, one
of the star players on the Puritan side,
was injured by being jammed against
q wall in the first half. He resumed
play a short time later. The tally stood
8 to 3 in favor of the Puritan team at
the conclusion of the first half.
Durham, who helped the Dexters at
guarding in the second half, played q
great game. 1t was largely due to his
able assistance that the Dexters were
enabled to crawl up and tie the score.
The hall was well filed with specta-
tors who kept things warm. There was
the widest kind of excitement ever
seen at a basketball contest here when,
at the conclusion of the second half,
the score became tied Is to Is. Cheer
ing was kept up throughout the remain
ing nine minutes of play up to the time
when the winning goal was scored. The

q cry he staggered backward, but the
next blade bit him a crack across the
ribs, and he fell back In a heap. Mary
heard the engine exhaust and then the
cry. She turned quickly and saw VII

Although he appeared to be badly hurt,
she was able, with his help, to drag
him to the house. She phoned for the
doctor and in the meantime gave him
first aid.
The kindly old doctor come clatter-

horse which was painting hard from its

man.

The next morning there was a knock
at the door. and a stranger inquired,

man in a disappointed voice. "My

The United States senate has direct

ployed by the United States Steel cor

At hearing before the senate COM

charged by an agent of the American

heard of case of a steel worker who
was suffered to die in Pennsylvania

for the company to have a dead man

A Tariff Poem.

Some years ago when the tariff
question was under consideration in
the United States senate, the late Sen
ator Zebulon Vance of North Carolina
delivered an interesting and effective
speech on the subject, during the
course Of which he read an original
poem, which will be of interest now In
view Of the fact that the Payne bill
imposes such high taxes on woman's
apparel. The poem created considera-
BILE laughter in the senate. 1t read:
Our Mary had a little lamb
Her heart was most intent
To make it's wool beyond its worth,
Bring Sc per cent.
"A pauper girl across the sea
Had one small lamb also.
whose wool for less than half that sum
Shed willingly let go.
Another girl who had no sheep,
No stockings-wool nor flax
Sut money enough for to buy
pair without the tax.
Went to the pauper girl to get
Some wool to shield her feet
And make her stockings, not Of fax,
But of wool complete.
When Mary saw the girls design,
She straightway began to swear
She'd make her buy both wool and tax
Or let one leg go bare.
And so she cried. Protect, REFORM
Let pauper wool in free,
1t will keep her legs both warm;
What will encourage me?
so it was done. and people said.
Where'er that poor girl went,
One leg was warm with wool and one
With Sc per cent.
NOW praise to Mary and the lamb,
Who did the scheme invent,
To clothe one-half girl in wool
And one-half in per cent.
"All honor, too. to Mary's friend,
And all protective acts,
That clothe the rich in real wool
And warp the poor in tax

A Pressing Obligation.

Putting off advertising, says a
writer in Printers Ink, is putting OF
a debt that you owe 70 your business.
Every day. the interest mounts. Ev-
cry day, because of added COMPETE
hon, the debt becomes harder to
meet. Many non-advertisers no doubt
postpone the settlement of this obi
cation because they do not realize
how easy it is to discharge it in small
installments. The little lad in the
daily newspaper leads by gradual and
convenient stages to the half page
and the full page spread, paying it's
own way as it grows.
The big advertisers of today sang
small at the beginning. The success
they have achieved is open to mer-
chants of very moderate capital who
back up brains and energy with reg
ular advertising.
