Between lodging the frequent show
ers and the good brand of spitters that
Reed was cooking up for them, the
locals let the Laona bunch sneak in one
more talley than they could possibly
make, and Laona romped away with

local diamond last Sunday.
Carter and Reed both pitched fine
ball considering the condition of the
ball, the former getting strike outs
and Reed 8. Each team was allowed
one hit.
The locals play the fast Bismark
bunch of Green Bay next Sunday, and
a very interesting game can be looked
for. The game will start early in order
to allow ample time for the boys to re-
turn on the o'clock train.

An Early SuffraQette.

There has just been wound up In
Edinburgh, Scotland, the trust made
by Miss Mary Dick, sister of Mr.. VIII
liam Dick, the founder and chief bene-
factor of the Royal Dick Veterinary
college. She was a strong personality,
kindly disposed, active and possessed
of business habits. She personally
managed the house property and feus,
and conducted large correspondence,
often on public questions. She was
born In Whitehouse Close In June,
1891. She used to relate that she had
been offered the perusal of several of
SCOTS novels while yet In manu-
script; but on political grounds de-
clined to read them both then and
afterward. She advocated female suf-
frage half century ago. At the age
of twelve she crossed the Forth in an
open boat, paying two shillings for her
passage, part of which sounted In her
being carried from the boat to the

MARES BEST FOR FARM WORK
Pure Bred Animals Are More Profit
able From Economic Standpoint
Than Mules or Geldings.

The percheron society Of America
has had the most rapid expansion iT
membership in the past sever
months that it has ever experienced
the gain in new members being 784
individual breeders. A very large
share of this growth in membership
has come from men who are but be
ginners in the breeding of Perchero1
horses and the list of new members
covers nearly all the states of the I'm
ion, ranging from Maine to California
and from Saskatchewan, Canada. tt
Texas.
The chief factor In the rapid dis
tribution of pure bred Percheron'
appears to be the rapidly growins
realization among farmers that pure
bred mares will do farm work more
effectively than even grade mares
and that they are vastly more profit
able from an economic standpoint
than geldings or mules employed IL
farm work, writes Wayne Dinsmore II
the Farm and Home. The latter re
turn only their labor, while mares dis
charge the work Of the farm as wei
as geldings or mules and produce IL
their colts an additional source OF
revenue.

Some Mosquitoes.

EYES," said the traveller who had
just returned from South Africa. Il
was one day so annoyed by mosquitoes
that l was compelled to take refuge in
an old iron safe which lay discarded
on the veldt
my first emotions Of JOY at my
happy deliverance were hardly over
when the mosquitoes, seeming me, be-
gan to drive their singers through
the safe. Fortunately, / had ham
mer in my pocket, and as fast as their
singers came through the iron |
clinched them, until at length such
a host of them was fastened down in
this way that, when they started to
fly away, they carried me and that
safe miles.
"Then, one by one, they died with
the exertion, and l was able to come
out with safety. Yes, wonderful
things happen in foreign parts."-

Strict School Rules.

John Wesley held that school chill

school in 1748 he announced that 1.-The
children of tender parents, so called,
have no business here, for the rules
will not be broken in favor Of any
person whatsoever Nor is any child
received unless his parents agree that
he shall observe all the rules of the
house; and that they will not take
him from school. no, not for day,
till they take him for good and all"
Further. no play days were permit

play, on the ground that he who plays
when he is a child will play when
he becomes man. Every Friday the
children had to work till three in
the afternoon without breaking their

Pedestrians Hopes, at First High,
Dashed When Explanation
Was Made.

A pedestrian In North Carolina one
morning came upon a mountain cabin
which gave unusual evidence of rural
industry. There was a flourishing patch
of wild mustard at the rear or the
premises. a bantam hen ON the front
doorstep. and something that resem-
bled a milking stool overturned on the
hard-packed, yellow clay of the yard.
Although 1t was but ten o'clock in the
morning, the traveller decided to stop
and ask for refreshments. since he
might not come upon anything SO
promising in many hours.
The tall, simply-clothed, and appar-
emily meagerly-fed woman who came
to the door looked at first amazed and
then resentful when her visitor made
known his request.
We've et," she drawled, in a re-
bukeful tone. "Jim's gone to taown to
fetch con meal"
Inferring from this that there was
no solid food in the larder. the man
cheerfully suggested glass Of milk
Again the woman shook her head
while her sallow vissage heightened
"Jim went an forgot to milk the caoW
He won't be back till evenin'."
This seemed to be the travellers
opportunity, both to exercise his gal
lantry and to obtain glass OF the
pure and unadulterated beverage
! which he coveted.
