MlNOT WINS GAME
FROM RUGBY

The Minot high school football team
won an interesting game from Rugby
on the local gridiron Saturday after
noon, 2l to 0. The Rugby team had
been winning everything prior to this
game, and the local boys did not know
just what they were up against. Prot.
Anderson, who has been training the
boys, has been doing thoro job. The
team this year Is almost entirely new,
but it is believed that with week
or two practice, it will be as good
as any team We have ever had. Henry
Murphy, captain and full back made
some good line gains. Chas. Geist
was the star punter and is considered
very fast. Justin Vandnoever and
Bert Smallwood were tried out at
quarterback and did satisfactory work.
The feature Of the game was q for
ward pass received by Joe Frank, who
made sensational 25 yard run for .
touchdown.
The Minot football team has lost
but one game in four years, that game
going to Fargo in 1908.

PRESIDENT LOVES INNOCENT JEST

Life is jest, and all things show it:
i thought so once, and now | know it, ,
sang the poet Gay; and although the
president appreciates the necessity of
upholding the dignity of the chief eX-
ecutive, still, like Oliver Cromwell, he
loves an innocent jest"
He was to attend a fashionable ba-
zaar held at the New Willard for
sweet charitys sake, and started out
accompanied by Captain Butt and two
secret service guards, Messrs. Sloan
and Wheeler, writes ole Mitchell
Chapple in the National.
The party was cordially welcomed
by the reception committee, and were
about to be permitted to enter the hall
when the president whimsically de-
cided to pay his way in like the other
patrons of the charity. Walking up to
a desk where the tickets were on sale,
he inquired; How much are the
tickets?"
1.-TWO dollars" replied the young
lady in charge sweetly.
Plunging into his spacious trousers
pocket the presidential right hand
brought forth two dollar bills, which
he passed to the ticket seller, and
nodding to his trio of companions, he
entered the hall.
Lend me two dollars, Jack" wills
pered Captain Butt to Wheeler left
my moneysat home"
so did T. mourned Wheeler. (The
party were attired in dress suits.)
Never mind, I'll take care OF you
BOTH hastily offered Jimmie Sloan,
with becoming magnanimity. The
others breathed sigh of relief as he
approached the desk. Three tickets,
please" he announced calmly, produc-
ing a crisp five-dollar bill.
