.repare
To swear
on.
Don't scoff
At the efforts men make
To shake
Their bad habits and to say
To them, ION your wayi"
Join the throng
And push the good work along.
Tried 1t before
And didn't scorer
What of that?
To the bat
Again, old sport,
And prove you are the right sortI
You know how Robert Bruce
Cut loose
And raised another row
When the spider showed him how
Went back to win
After he was all in
And ready to say goodby
To his own
Two by six throne,
Made another try
And came out high.
And you may do the same
II you will be as game.
Suppose that in the past
Your resolutions didn't last
Until the ink was dry
And you had cash to buy
The things you had forsworu
On New Years morn.
Don't let that Jar
You or be a bar
To entry in the list.
Grab a pen in your fist,
Engage
A fresh page
In your little old book
And land a left hook
On your meanness and
Resolve to beat the band.

w. H. Jackson, Story Goes, Offers
To Furnish Wherewithal
For Campaign.

Pendin the meeting of the State
Central Committee on Wednesday

By men best posted on inside af-

was expressed that the Gubernator-

Lee Goldsborough, and that without
the necessity for a primary election
This point was regarded as practi-
cally settled, and Chairman John B.
Hanna, of the committee, is not ex-
pected to be a candidate.
Behind Mr.. Goldsborough, it is
said, is William H. Jackson, who is
described as willing to furnish the
campaign fund, without reference or
consideration of any limit.
You'll have to resign as Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue, if you want

siastic for Mr.. Goldsborough this
time.

MARRIED MEN WALLOPED,
Single Men Do The Trick Easily
At The New Athletic Park Dia-
mond Yesterday Afternoon.

The much talked about game of
base ball between the married men
and the single men took place yes
terday afternoon at the diamond at
the new Athletic Park, starting
promptly at $50 o'clock 1t was
full of ginger for the three first
| innings, but after that the married
men seemed to get tagged and did
not put the same aggressiveness in
to the game that distinguished their
playing during the first part of the
contest. The single mems team
was strengthened by portion of
the others who played were in good
shape, as they had had considera bic
| practice this season. Wall, the
High School twirler, pitched a good
game for the single men, doing so
under difficulties, as he was not
feeling very we'll. Practically all
of the single mems team put up
good game, although the majority OF
their runs were secured as the re-
suit of the errors, as at times, err
rors were thicker than the blades of
! grass in the outfield.
The married men, however, de-
serve much credit for holding their
opponents down as we'll as they did,
and with a little practice it did
seem as if they would be able to
defeat them, for when it is taken
into consideration that some Of
them had not played ball for from
four to ten years, it is easy to un-
derstand how long the innings seem
ed and how hard the work was.
Some of the married men seemed
they went to stoop for the balls,
while others seemed inclined tol
balk whenever fly balls were knock
ed in their direction. Some of
them, too, seemed to think that
Manager Sherman was fielding all
the infield as we'll as the outfield.
Despite these little slip-ups, the
game was thoroughly enjoyed by|
those who were present, and the
married men put up a strong game.
At the end of the game the score
stood IL to 3, in favor of the sim
gle men. Some of the married men
state that they would like to play
them again, but that they want a
little more notice, so that they can
get in shape. 1t is reported that
the drug stores did a rushing busi-
ness last night in witch hazel, ar
