The eagerly awaited clash between
the two local clubs was without
doubt the most exciting that has been
played this season by either team, and
not won until the last ball was pitch
ed. The game was clean and free
from any unpleasant feature as the
spectators were at no time unruly.
Even though the result was a big dis
appointment to the Gray followers,
every one admitted and agreed that
they had had their moneys worth and
that no kick was coming.
The weather for the first clash of
the series was ideal, although just n
trifle warm, and the attendance was
all that could be expected. There
were S43 paid admissions at the gate
and, as there was practically no ex-
pense to either club, both boosted their
finances in great shape.
The Hiawathas' first tally came In
the second inning. Grubb, the first
man up, clouted one with great force
and before the ball was returned he
had crossed the plate for home-run.
In the fourth inning Grubb fouled
to Pelton. Sullivan was safe at first
on F. Schmidt's error and stole
second. Darling tripled scoring Sulli.

and Donnell scored. Grubb came
home when Penhorwood pitched wild.
Sullivan struck out Darling doubled
to left and scored on Mondron's hit

There is giasticutis running a
paper in Valley City. He is usually
referred to as "Peewee,' the name
probably being derived from game
familiar to school-boys of the last
preceding generation. He is an
egotistic ass who is stuck on himself
in an inverse ration to the admira-
ton Of those who know him or of
him. He has the matter of the
Cowan impeachment all settled
against Judge Cowan. 1t is much
feared that Peewse will continue in
session even after the senator's quit.
This Peewee is the same 'reformer'
who went to Bismarck at the open
ing of the 1907 legislative session,
with his hungry nav yearning for
state pap; who secured petty
House clerkship of some kind or
other; who then sought to beat the
state by doing no labor. and who
was compelled by Speaker Burdick
to either 60 to work or get off the
payroll. Whenever Barnes coun.
ty member of the legislature or any
one else takes action that is not
agreeable to this journalistic wart,
said wart begins to abuse him.
However, the yelps of this newspa-
per coyote don't seem to be making
much impression on the impeach-
ment trial.

Hinduism,

Self remuneration is one of the
features of HINDUISM. A writer
says: The ascetic life is the natural
fruit of the pessimism of India. In
no other country is such transcend
ent merit attached to modification
of the flesh. Ascetics press their
martyrdom to almost incredible
limits. They WI pass their days
outstretched upon bed of spikes
They will hold up an arm till it
withers in the socket. Literally
they treat the body az though it
we're slave. The devotee is aalut-
ed everywhere as maharaja. Men
Of wealth and position constantly
in their declining years resign their
possessions to their heirs and wait
for death in nakedness and poverty
by the Ganges at Benares. Nay, it
is no uncommon thing that young
men, the products of our UNIVERSE
ties, should relinquish their inter
ests and their ambitions and join
the wandering army of deyotees
who, literally in sackcloth and
ashes, seek grace in an unending
round of pilgrimages."

TRAPPED THE TRAITOR.
Washiastsn's Glover Way Of Meeting
Case Of Trsaehsry.

Among the many anecdotes told
of Washington is one of how he
escaped capture at the hands of a
treacherous host, whom he after
ward pardoned at the earnest plead
ing Of the culprit's family.
The American army was en-
camped near West Point, when one
day their commander was invited
to visit nearby mansion and dine
with an old gentleman at precisely
2 o'clock. Having been accustomed
to visit the family, he at first trust
ed this old man, but whispers got
about questioning his fidelity to the
patriot cause, which at last Wash
ington resolved to put to a test.
The host had been insistent as to
the hour for dinner and intimated
that guard would not be necessary.
This somewhat aroused Washing
toms suspicion, SO he decided to ar
rive at least an hour earlier than
the appointed time. The host sug-
gestcd walk on the piazza and by
his nervousness soon made 1t evil
dent to his guest that something
was wrong. Washington brought
the conversation around to the sub
ject Of traitors, and he wondered at
the lack of principle that would
cause native born Americans to join
the enemy for a little glittering
gold. His fixed look as he made
these remarks made the traitor
quail, but now the sound of horses
hoofs was heard, and up rode a
company of dragons in scarlet
coats.
aWhat cavalry are these?" ez-
claimed Washington. "What does
this mean?"
"a party of British light horse
sent for my protection" answered
his host.
