An Appreciation of the Cow.

Since Robert LouisStevenson' s verse
on thefsubject, we have seen nothing
which SO thoroughly expresses our
opinion of the COW as the following
paragraph which we clip from the
monthly publication of the First Ma
tional Bank of Challis, Idaho:
Speaking of the "female of the
species" there is no greater eulogy
ever bestowed than that which Col.
F. w. Wood applies to the COW. She
is boon to mankind and almost a
mother to US all. Col. Wood said !:
"Of all the animal friends of man,
she is the greatest. To her we owe
the most. If Iwere to take from the
dinner table what the COW has placed
there / would take the cup of milk
waiting at babv's chair. I'd take the
cream, the cheese. the butter, the
custard pie, the cream biscuit, the
steak, the smoking roast of beef,
and leave you to make meal on pot
atoes, beets, pickles and toothpicks.
There is not a thing from her nose
to tail but that is utilized for the use
of man. We use her horns to comb
our hair, her skin upon our feet her
hair keeps the plaster on the wall,
her hoofs make glue, her tail make
soup. her bones are ground up and
fertilize our soil. Her blood is used
to whiten sugar and her paunch make
the finest kind of white cardboard
and false teeth. No other animals
works both night and day for man,
for she gathers her food in the day
time and when we are asleep at night
she brings it back to re.chew ard
convert into all the things above
named. 1t was her sons that turned
the first sod in the settlers clearing
it was her sons that drew the prairie
schooner for the sturdy pioneers who
fought their way, inch by inch. Who
can say that much of what we are we
owe to this noble animal, the COW.
Treat her we'll, for she is a queen. {"

Two entire business blocks of the
village of Tintah were entirely de-
stroyed by fire on Tuesday. The fire
started at II so a. m. and was caused
by explosion of a kerosene stove in

liki's drug store. Besides this
drug store. the buildings burned
were Cross general merchandise,

Tournam ment at Graceville.

GTaceville Enterprise The first
day Of the Fifth Annual Tournament
of the Western Minnesota Firemen's
TouI Inament Assn. Thursday, was one
of tie best and most successful field
days ever held here, to which result
the tne weather contributed not a
little. A very large crowd was in
attendance early and had something
to look at all the time. The per-
formance began with a fine rarade
with several floats, the fire companies
of Dumont, Wheaton, Morris and
Graceville in line, with the fire ap-
paratus and the Wheaton and Morris
bands. This parade ended shortly
after noon and after dinner the Asso-
citation Hose Race was kut on which
wasgwon Ey Dumont in thirty mine
and one-fifth seconds, Wheaton being
second with SO 2-3 and Morris third
with 4Oa. This events carries the
championship banner and this makes
two of these trophies won Ky the
et-footed boys from the North. The
baseball game was then played be-
tween Morris and Graceville with
was won by the visitors 2 to 0.
Lefty" Miller threw for Morris and
allowed no hits, striking out 19.
Painter, new man from Chicago,
threw FIR Graceville and allowed three
hits striking out nine men.
After supper the Firemen's foot
race was won by Doll, Of Dumont,
in very fast time, which unfortunate
ly, was not taken and the novelty race
was won by Wheaton in 494 seconds.
Morris second in so fiat and Dumont
disqualified.
The most striking and spe ctacular
feature was the fire run in the even
ing by the local company. The alarm
was sounded from the power station
and drawn by two splendid teams the
hook and ladder truck and the hose
cart and their crews came dashing
down Studdart Ave. and put out a
small contagration stared in the street
below the Forde residence.

GAMES WITH GRACEVILLE..
MONS Team Hits the Slide for
Two Games.

After administering defeat to the
fast Gracevilie team IN the fiIgt game
of the series, Morris fell shy of heir
good record by being given complete
reversal at the hands Of their oppon-
ents. The game wa, a direct an.
tithesis of the first one being very
much one-sided and loosely played.
Lee was sent in to face the heavy
hitting Gracevillers but could not get
to working right. Lee was a little
nervous and the home club made up
for their lack of hits in the hrst game.
Larry Sutton was selected to do the
heaving for Graceville and he per-
formed in very favorable way all
through the game, Larry struck out
nine of his opponents during the nine
innings and just allowed three hits.
He also had his club working for he
knocked out a single and a double.
Anderson, Vanstrum and Monahan are
also credited with two swats apiece
and Galloghy gets credit with three
bagger.
Graceville started their clouting in
the second inning and they did not stop
until they had run up six scores in
this inning. They showed up in the
third but came back again with two
more in the fourth. In just one in
ming after this did they score and
this was in the seventh when they
sent one man across the plate.
The nearest the Morris crowd came
to scoring was in the seventh. John
ston flied out to Collinder and McGov-
ern next up cracked out a stinging
line drive which was good for two
sacks. Seymour then advanced Johnny
to third on fielder's choice, but he
died there at the third station when
his brother Grover took three swings
and out. Besides McGovern's 8 two.
baggar Seymour and Grover McGovern
each have hit counted up in their
columns. The following is the box
score by innings

contest closed last Saturday evening.
At nine O'Clock the ballot box was
taken in charge by the judges. T. ].
Mangan. W. F. Cooley, Jr., and
Sheridan Flaherty, and the final
counting began.
The race between Mrs. LeSage and
Mrs. Frick in the first district was
very close, for the friends of each had
put forth their best efforts on their
behalf. Mrs. LeSage, however. con-
tinued to hold the lead which she had
the previous week.
The winners in the first district
were Mrs. Robert LeSage, first !:
Mrs. Paul Frick, second; Miss Rosa
Hack, third and Miss Marie Hagen,
fourth.
In the second district, Mrs. J. W.
Smith, of Donnelly, was first; Miss
Amy Gau sman, of Pepperton. second !;
Miss Hazel Gulbrandson, of Alberta,
third, and Miss Anna Ehlen.
In each district the winner of first
place received Valley Gem piano,
the second diamond ring, while the
third and fourth prizes were a watch
and scholarship. All of the con-
testants have expressed themselves
as pleased with the way the contest
WAS conducted and with the >nriZes
received.
The editor is also we'll pleased with
the efforts put forth by the G. B.
Burke Co. and by Mr.. Stephen B.
Doyle, the local manager, to make
the contest success, and with the
results obtained in the collection of a
large number of old subscriptiapn and
the addition of nearly 3oo-283, to
be exact-of local paid-in-adyance
subscriptions to our already large list.

A Word from the Contest Man
.... ager.

1t is always custom in business
ethics that when a firm is. carrying
on legitimate business. that they
are at least given fair play even when
competition is in evidence by their
competitors. We have been in the.
contest business long enough to ac-
quire reputation for running fair and
square contests and are backed in this
by some of the leading country editors
of the State of Minnesota. We al.
ways expect to have an antagonist no
matter where we 60, for it is we'll
known that competition is the life
for trade. Now our expectations were
entirely fulfilled when we started in
Morris, but in all our business deal
ings we never had any editor--if l
use the name righ>-resort to such
tactics as was done in the contest just
closed by the Morris Tribune. 1t
seems that the owner of our. "Little
Sister" became somewhat peeved at
the growing success of our work and
tried to check the good work by trying
to persuade some of our contestants to
drop out of the race. But his would
be clever detective abilities were of
no avail as we closed our contest very
successfully and left the Morris Tri-
bune with the largest circulation in
Stevens county. ....,

ALEX. WINS.
Visitors Take First Game of the
Series.

Besides the game Wednesday, which
Alexandria won by the close margin
of 8 to 2. the Morris and Alexandria
teams were pitted against one another
on the Fourth for two games, but
this issue went to press too early to
give the result. They will play the
last game of the series Friday after
noon four o'clock.
Every preparation was made We'd
nesday to give the lovers of base ball
and other sports day of enjoyment
on the Fourth. The weather promised
fine, and besides the ball games.
there were small sports, street at
fractions and large bowery.
Before small sized crowd at the
fair grounds Morris dropped the first
game of the series to Alexandria in
hard fought struggle. The game
was well played throughout and one
of the best games from spectators
1view. that has been played on the To-
cal lot this year.
"Lefty" Needham a new man on
the Morris squad was chosen to mount
the rubber and the way he handled
himself during the entire contest, took
very we'll with the fans. Needham
should have gotten away with the
game by 3 to 1 score but the breaks
we're against him at the critical times.
Lefty struck out 8 of the opponents
and allowed them hits several Of
which were on the scratch order.
Kramer who had try out inAmerican
association, was sent in to face the
Morris stickers. Morris run up seven
bingles and 10 took the count on
strikes.
| The Alexandria team are considered
a fast bunch and have won a reputa-
tion ty just loosing four games this
sea- on. Morris plays two more on
the fourth and one on the fifth. These
games should get out good crowd
as the teams are pretty evenly
matched. The following is the box
score of the Wednesday game.

MONDAYS GAME.

The GracevilIe team journeyed here
Monday to begin a two game series
with our own and got good starting
by getting away with the first game.
The score stood nine to three at the
end with Graceville having the big
slice.
Painter the $175 beauty and Ex-
United States Lacquer who Morris
shut out at Graceville was given an
opportunity to redeem himself and
he made good. He was hit for seven
safeties but he kept these we'll scat
tered and after the second inning he
was in no danger. Morris started
the run getting IN the last of the
first. Trip got his usual walk and
was sacrinced to second, McGovern
flied out making two down with man
on second. Johnston hit hard one
at the third sacker and Trip scored
on his wild heave to first.
GraceviIle came back stong in the
third and ran up three counts before
they were retired. No more scoring
then until the fifth when the visitors
got three n ore. Morris got another
in the sixth and one in the seventh
while Graceville ran across with two
in the seventh and two in the eighth.
Seamore was hit for ten, bingles but
was given poor support by his team
mates. The score should have been
kept down much smaller and if the
boys played good behind him it would
have been different result. The
following is the box score by innings.
