Dillon Nine Comes Back.

1t was only a kid game and there
are grown-ups who will say that a
Kid game is not of much conse-
quence, but the man who never
played ball when he was a kid has
missed something that will never
come to him again. There is no
kind OF loyalty, town State and
country, that will measure up TO kid
loyalty when rival teams are match
ed in a ball game. The kid will
niakE any kiLC of secrifice, ne
it an arm, leg or his life, to in
sure victory for his home town in
a hotly contested ball game. De-
fea: at the hands of a rival team is
worse than DEATH the sun goes into
eclipse and pail of gloom over
spreads the entire earth. Life is
simply not worth living. That is
the reason the fate of Detroit,
Albany or Columbia is forgotten for
the time being when the kid teams
OF rival towns Cross bats. And so
1t was in Dillon when the juveniles
OF Latta and Dillon fought out an
old score on the Dillon diamond
last Thursday. 1t was a fierce bat
tie, but when the Dillon kids emerg-
ed from the dust of the diamond
there dangled from their belts 16
only nine. They say it was not due
to Latta's inferior playing but to
the superior batting of the two
Smiths, A. and M. The Latta pitch
er could not lose the two Smiths
Every time, so local baseball his
tory goes, they went to the bat the
pitcher gave them bases to keep
them from batting home runs. And
then there was r. Evans pitching,
80 the little Dillon fans say, which
was so rafting to the visitors that
every time they did happen to
reach a ball they would run to
third base. The Juveniles, or Lit
tie Giants" as they are styled came
back in great style and evened up
an old score with their Latta enc
mics. The two Smiths-now fam
Gus in baseball history-and r.
Evans are heroes whose names
will live on every lip, not through
countless ages, but until the text
books are opened next month.

Push, Push!

If there was more push in the
world there would be fewer hun
cry, halfclothed, homeless suffer
ing children; fewer broken-down
dissipated men and women; less
need of almshouses of correction
and homes for friendless.
Push means life for neigh
Dor in trouble. Push means a
life for yourself out of the slough
of dependency and shiftless,
out of trouble, real and fancled.
Push never hurts anybody. The
harder the Sash the better, if 1T
is given in the right direction.
Always push uphill-few people
need a push down hill. Don't
be afraid OF your muscles and
sinews; they were given you to
use. Don't be afraid of your
hands; they were meant for
service. Don't be afraid of
what your companion may say.
Don't be afraid of your con-
science; it will never reproach
you for a good deed-but push
with all your heart, might and
soul, whenever you see anything
or nybody that will be better
for a good, long strong, deter
mined push.
Push! 1t is just the word for
the grand, clear morning of life;
it is just the word for strong
arms and young hearts; it is just
the word for world that is as
full of work as this is. If any,
thing is in trouble, and you see
it, don't stand back, push!
If there is anything good being
done in any place where you hap
pen to be Push!

Contest Closes June Id, I0u.
If we Can't, You Shan't.

When the members of the leg
islature first ran away it was
given out by them and adjntators
as an excuse for such conduct,
that there was apprehension that
the present laws were to be tam
pered with, and rather than see
that done they were ready to
place the State in an exceedingly
ema barassing situation by leav.
ing the State aud thus prevent
ing the enactment of much need
ed legislation, They were soon
aoeured that no such attempt
would be made if they would re-
turn and attend to the duties for
which thew had been elected by
| thel" continents. But they
said "No" If we come back YOU
will pass your new election law
over the Governors veto, and by
that means the democracy gains
too much power and influence in
selecting the election machinery
OF the State. They were then as
sured that if they would come
back and attend TO their duties,
that no further effort would be
m 4de to pass the law then enact
ed over the Governors veto, but
that a new election law bill, now
known as the Cox bill would b.
prepared and offered by which
each county would be allowed to
select its own Election Oommis-
sioners, but the runaways again
said "NO." Their conduct is not
in accord with the duties of a
legislator, as it is looked at by
the common people, They are
simply obstructionists, and would
prefer % see the State humiliat-
ed in the estiT alton Of her sister
states rather than allow the re-
gular democrats a chance to
amend the present election law.
Simmered down it is simply a
determination on the part of the
republicans aud their democrat
ic allies, to prevent all legisI2-
tion unless it is such as they
wish enacted. 1t is the cry in
the manger over again--lf we

Historic Town Vanishing.

Within a few months more the
last traces of old "Kaskaskja,"
first capital of Illinois, and one
of the first settlements of the
white man in the valley, will
have disappeared. The yellow
Mississippi is steadily pulling
down the remaining land that
was once a part of the town site.
All that now remains is an old
building that was once used as a
smokehouse by some of the citi-
zens. Houses, stores, forts,
church, the remains of powder
magazines, stockades and fortifi
cations have all slid into the
river.
Kaskaskia is still on the maps
of Illinois, but the town of Tonty,
CARVER. Marest, and of the
George Rogers Clarke expedition
is at the bottom of the river.
The best efforts of the Illinois
Historic Society failed to check
the rivers steady advance into
the abandoned streets of the old
French town. -.
There is a curious lack of ex-
act knowledge as to who settled
this old town. Some say that it
was established as early as 1852
by men who were still with
Chevalier de la Sale. By others
it is asserted that Chevalier de
Tonty planted the town there
four years later. "Black gowns"
as the Indians called the priests,
were the first recollection that
the savages@ad of the white
men.
A few years ago the Kaskaskia
usually known as the "Okaw riv-
err began to cut into its west
ern bank q mile or so above
where it flows into the Mississip-
pi. AT high water the flood from
the big river began leaping across
the narrow neck of land that
divided the two currents. Final
ly the big river cut entirely
across the split of sand and rock
that had separated the two, and
old Kaskaskia became an island.
One hundred and fifty years
ago the site where the smoke
house still fingers was the seat
of the largest city west of the
Allegheny mountains. In few
months more the last of the old
town will have slipped into the
river, and the island that was
cut off from the mainland will
itself disappear.

A Mummy'S Toy.

There is a doll in the British
museum that is more than three
thousand years old. When some
archaeologists were exploring an
ancient Egyptian royal tomb
they came upon sarcophagus
containing the mummy If a little
princess seven years old. She
was dressed and inferred in a
manner befitting her rank, and
in her arms was found little
wooden doll.
The inscription gave the name,
rank and age of the little girl
and the date of her death, but it
said nothing about the quaint
little wooden Egyptian doll.
This, however, told it's own story.
1t was so tightly clasped in the
arms of the mummy that it was
evident that the child had died
with her beloved doll in her
arms.
The occupies a place in a glass
case in the museum, and there a
great many English children go
to gaze upon it.

Working the Shadow Game.

The station was deserted but
for one man who seemed absorb
ed in a newspaper, The ticket
agent was apparently thinking
of things far away as he deftly
juggled coins on the glass plate
under the bars of his cage.
The next morning the man
with the newspaper was seeming
to read it in another station, and
the ticket agent of the day be-
fore was hunting job. He had
been summarily dismissed.
The man with the newspaper
was detective. The ticket
agent had been practicing to win
facility in working the shadow
game, hence his dismissal.
What's the shadow game? A
new trick said to have originated
in the brain of a Boston subway
ticket seller and to have been
taught to the other ticket sellers
over the country, and this is how
it is worked:
The ticket agent arranges a
strip of cardboard or black paper
so that it will seem to be a shade
to keep the bright light out of
his eyes. In reality he 50 ar
ranges it that it leaves the space
directly under the change slot
brightly illuminated, but casts a
deep shadow upon the plate just
to the left. Then he. practices
till he acquires sufficient dexter
ity to pass out half dozen coins,
make one of them stop we'll over
under the shadow, and bunch
the others under the bright
light.
About one person in four will
fail to see the nickel or dime in
the shadow, and in his haste tc
get a train will not miss it till il
is too late to return. If he does
come back the coin is there fol
him to pick up, and he sees nc
cause to complain. If he does
not return the ticket seller adds
one more coin to his income.
Some men are said to be sc
adept at putting coins into the
dark that the sharpest eyes fai
to detect the trick. A ticket
seller at busy station who was
caught by a detective recently
confessed that he had been steal
ing an average of So day under
the shadow.
