BOUGHT THREE LAKES.
Summer Resort Colony to Be Founded
Near st. Cloud.

st. Cloud.-The Northern Lakes I'M
provement Company of Madison, Wis.
has purchased 800 acres of shore prop
erty on the southeast shore of Briggs
Lake, the entire shore line of Rush
Lake and the south hore of Lake
Julia, the three sister lakes five miles
east OF Clear Lake and eleven miles
south of this city. The improvement
company is financed by wealthy Madi
son men, and the purpose is to make
summer colony for a number of the
prominent people of that city, st. Paul
and Minneapolis.
Engineer S. S. Chute, of this city, is
now making plans for extensive boule
wards, bridges and landscape improve
ments. A winding drive is proposed
along Briggs and Julia lakes, circling
Rush Lake, and a bridge across the
connecting stream between Briggs and
Rush lakes. The improvements will
cost from $4,000 to $4,000. The land
will be plated and sold to individual
owners for summer homes.
These three lakes, with Elk lake, a
little south, are connected, so either
or all can be used for rowing or fish
ing without tedious portages. They
are we'll stocked with game fish. The
land was formerly owned by Jesse
Varley, a pioneer of Sherburne coun-
ty. The price paid was $125 an acre,
total of $4,000.

BREN is OUT AGAIN.
Former University Treasurer is Now
Held by Sureties for $4,000.

Minneapolis. - Joseph d. Bren,
former acting treasurer of the uni
versity, who is charged with en-
bezzling $4,000, which he claims was
stolen and whose bail was increased
in district court from $4,000 to $1O,-
900 was released from the county Jail
here after a second bond had been ap-
proved by the court.
The $4,000 bond is signed by Bren
himself, his father, Sam A. Bren, his
brother, Frank Bren, and Lazarus Til
leny, a farmer who lives near st. Louis
park. Judge E. F. Waite last night
approved the bond and Bren's attor-
ney presented it to Peter s. Nelson,
clerk of the district court, who ap-
proved the bond and ordered Bren re-
leased
Bren's rearrest followed the state
ment of the public examiner that a
preliminary examination of Bren's
books showed a $4,000 shortage and
the statement of Frank S. Lyon, en-
ployed by a Chamber of Commerce
grain firm, who says that he acted as
Bren's agent in speculation on the
wheat market. Lyons story is denied
by Bren.

POSTMASTERS SEcEDE.
Minnesota Members Leave Tri-State
Association.

ST. Paul. - Believing that their
best iaterest. have not been con-
served but rather neglected in the
custom of holding their annual meet
ings Jointly with those of the Tri-
State Pcst2iasters' association, the
members of the Minnesota State
League cf Postmasters, in session at
ST. Paul, including largely the third
and fourth-class postmasters of the
state. after heated indignation meet
ing, decided to cut loose from the Tri-
State association, not to go to Fargo
next summer where the ASSOCIATION
will meet, but to return to Minneapo-
lis and hold their convention in Sep
tember, on the Friday of fair week of
1912.
The decision taken follows several
years OF nflict between the state
league and the Tri-State association
and growing belief upon the part
of the members of the state league
that they were not receiving at the
hands of the association all that was
coming to them.
Renewing the resolutions adopted
last year, favoring the placing of class
es of the postal service, and especial
ly the third and fourth, including the
postmasters, under the civil service,
the members of the state league also
incorporated in them clause asking
that they be paid fixed yearly COM
pensation. This was especially in
tended for the fourth-class men, as
the third-class postmasters now work
under that system.
} All the officers of the league were
reelected. They are: w. S. Barthole-
NEW, Avon, president; A. F. Arndt,
Prior Lake, vice president; o. J..
Kuntz, Waconia, secretary; w. H.
Wright, Montrose, treasurer.

CARLETON GRADUATES Ga
LARGEST CLASS NSTITU1ION

Rev. Newell Dwight Hills Delivers
Grafton On American Pos
sibilities.

Northfield. - Commencement week
closed at Carleton college with the final
graduation exercises at the Congre-
gational church Sixty-four graduates
received their degrees. This is the
largest class that has ever been grad
uated from the institution in one year.
Two M. A. degrees were also conferred,
one to Miss Jessie May Short, B. A.
Beloit, 1900, in mathematics and as
tronomy, the other to Henry E. Baker,
B. A., 1902, in English literature Miss
Short wrote her masters thesis on
"The Variable Star Algol." Mr..
Baker chose as his subject ''The Spir.
it of Liberty in Nineteenth Century
Literature"
Two doctors degrees were confer
red, the degree of doctor of divinity
being given to the Rev. Charles E..
Burton, 1895, and Lift d. to George
E. Huntington, for q years a profess
or at Carleton. Only six other doc
tors degrees have been granted by
Carleton in the 55 years of it's exist
ence.
The Rev. Newell Dwight Hills.
D. D., Of Brooklyn, N. Y, delivered the
commencement grafton on "The Amer
lea of Today and of Tomorrow" He
spoke of the present greatness of the
United States, of it's undeveloped pos
sibilities and it's future when the pos
sibilities become fully realized The
entire tone of the Grafton was opti-
mistic. The accumulation of wealth
was not to be deplored, he said, but
to be encouraged. Foreign emigration
should be encouraged he said rather
than discouraged for we are fully able
to assimilate the incoming stream
Above all the force that is to lead
the country to economic and social
success is the education mind and the
college graduate must be the leader in
this advancement.

ly $4,000 was pledged for the en-

Dad Clarke, the inimitable veteran
pitcher, who for many years was one
of the best known characters in the
game, always was popular, no matter
where he played-except in one city
and there was reason for that.
Dad had been pitching for New,
York and was sold, receiving verbal
orders and money to pay for tickets,
berths and meals to join his new club.
Three days later he walked into a
newspaper Office in Cincinnati, called
the sporting editor to one side, and
said: Say, old man, what team do
belong to-"
The astonished sporting editor plead
ed ignorance, not having heard Of the
DEAL
'Why, Dad, don't you know" he de-
manded.
Il know it's Nashville, or Louisville,
or some of those Southern league
towns" he said, seriously, "but I've for
gotten which one. Will you wire on
for me and find out?''
And when that story reached Louis
vile shortly after Dad reported for
duty, he found himself the object of
much dislike.

HERO MAKES A BASE KNOCK"
Uncle Ben Shibe Tells Good Story on

Lost-Jim DeIehanty's
Batting Streak.
BY HUGH s. FULLERTON.

Baseball is the great American game.
Which statement is bromidian enough
for anyone fused to think that every
one knew the basic rules and princi-
pies Of the game-but no longer. I've
been reading baseball fiction. The two
exceptions to universal knowledge of
baseball are magazine editors and mag
azine writers, to judge from some of
the stories printed In the last year.
The most exciting yarn OF all, print
ed seriously by one of the second class
first class magazines had wonderful
climax. The score was to 8 In the
last half of the ninth inning. The
bases were filled and the hero was at
bat with two out. Now what do you
suppose he did? The writer had him
hit home run, and ended up the game
with the score Of to 8, and the hero
being carried around by wildly ex-
cited crowd of admirers.
Immediately after reading another
story I released the hero uncondition-
ally. 1t is rather odd, but the hero al
ways comes to bat in the ninth inning,
and I've never known him either to
strike out or hit a fly. Indeed, in
seven baseball stories have analyzed
within the last week the hero has bat
ted 1000 and mostly home runs and,
as far as I can learn, no one has even
drafted him. But this hero was a
wonder. He was captain of the team.
HE 0roof mol opd occicfont horo lod
of the ninth with two bagger and
was sacrificed to third. With one out
and a run needed to win the game the
next batter hit the ball mile to CEN
ter field. The fielder went clear back
to the fence, leaped, caught the ball,
hit the fence and was Unconscious.
Now, what do you suppose that runner
on third did? Why, he calmly stuck
around third base until the center field
er recovered consciousness and re-
fused to score until the hero made a
base knock" Chats what the
writer called it,
The third hero was a pitcher and a
wonder. In the ninth inning his team
was in lots of trouble. The opposing
team had the bases full with one out
and his rival was at bat with three
balls and no strikes. The hero "pitch
ed him three sweeping outcurves SO
far from the plate he missed them, and
struck him out" Good waiter, that
rival. The writer even fails to record
the sayings of the manager when the
rival took his swings at those balls
One of the best bits of judgment in
any of the stories was that of the cap
tain who, in the eighth inning, with
the score to against his team
got runner to first base, then sacri
feed, ito save the disgrace of shut
out" The opposing pitcher fumbled
the bunt (no wonder, if he knew the
game he'd be surprised too much to
pick it up), and turned the tide, and
the hero's team won. Just how he
managed it I haven't figured out, for
according to the story, he bunted in
