THE SHAM BATTLE.

The sham battle between Co. D OF
Minot and CO. E of Wilhston, which
occurred in the coulees and hills in
southwestern part of the city during
the forenoon Tuesday was witnessed
by an immense crowd. The hills sur
rounding were black with people and
it is estimated that fully ten thous
and witnessed the very realistic en-
counter.
Williston was here with about thirty
members while the Minot company
consisted of about twice that number.
A very interesting problem was work
ed out; Co. D was supposed to be the
advance OF regiment on it's way from
Bismarck to Minot to intercept q
train load Of supplies that were to be
sent out to the enemy, and the VIII
liston Co, represented the defense. MI
not charged the enemy several times
with fixed bayonets, and were re-
pulsed several times, retreating in ex-
cellent order. Several volleys we're
fired by both sides. Minot succeeded
in accomplishing it's purpose. The Boy
Scouts were out in uniform and acted
as a scouting party The exhibition
was interesting in the extreme and
time and again there were lusty
cheers from tn crowds

the Lieutenant mounted another i'm

A base ball team consisting Of some
of the best players from Bowbslla.
Estaven, Can. and seevral other
towns defeated Minot in an exciting
nine inning game Wednesday evening.
Bowbells scored in the second and
thir innidgs, and Minot secured three
scores in the third. Bowbel!s in the
seventh scored four times, and the
best Minot could do was to come
within one Of tying them. In the
ninth Minot had the game practically
won. Vandenoever went to first and
Joyce sent him to third on clean
hit. Had he rem aimed on third, he
undoubtedly would have scored. Joyce
was put out in a similar manner, there
being no excuse for either put out.
An immense crowd attended and the
visiting team had many rooters from
all Of the surrounding towns. BowbeHs
has a good team, all right, the two
teams playing very evenly.

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

Socrates thought that if all our
nisfortunes were laid in one common
heap whence everyone must take an
equal portion most persons would be
content to take their own and depart
=Plutarch.
ITS beautiful day for driving"
I commented to the stable man the
other morning.
He looked up from the traces he
was fastening and out of the dingy
stable into the world of sunshine and
almost blinked.
''It is that, MAN, he said wistfully,
"and we've had a lot of them lately"
do you go out much 90 I asked.
The usefulness suddenly changed
into bitterness as he answered. DO I
go out much? No, not at all, from
half past five in the morning when I
have to get here to feed the horses
until seven at night when 1 take the
car home. All I see oe the beautiful
day is the dawning. The most of the
time I'm down there'-pointing with
his thumb to the basement of the sta

and then. maybe, up here for a few
minutes to harness or to eat my lunch.
Beautiful days and bad ones, they're
all the same to me.
"Why, ma'am I've five children and
the two youngest I've scarcely ever
seen. Of course, they aren't up before
1 go and before I get home they're
abed. Holidays? I don't have any.
Horses have to eat and be cleaned
Sundays and holidays just the same as
any other time. No, ma am, it's three
hundred and sixty-five DAYS in the year
for me-"
The bitterness died out of his tone
as suddenly as it came. A sense of
the futility of revolt seemed to have
taken its place.
Eyes, ma'am.'' he said. as he handed
me the reins at is a wonderfully fine
day for driving
The stable man was very pale with
the pallor of those who do not have
enough sunlight panor that sug
gested the sickness of cellar-raised
plants. His shoulders stopped. A
heavy stubble of neglected beard COW
cred his face. His eyes were sunk.
He sent me out into the beautiful day
with a shadow on my heart that the
sunshine could not chase away.
For the times when you are blue
For the times when you are inclined
to be disconnected with your share of

For the days when you think that

When these days come. please think
of this man and be ashamed of your
discomfort.
Just think what his life is-or rath-

Why does he endure such a condi-
