DUBS VS.. THE DUBBERS

The practice ball game seized
uled for last Sunday afternoon, be-
tween two Libby teams, was dis
appointment to some of the ball
players. Rumors of war had been
rife around town the middle of the
week; and the proposition was that
a pickup team of the town should
try to put one over on the regulars.
The pickup team, however, did
not materialize; so after waiting
for a time, the boys appointed
Shaurette and Tommy Christie as
captains and let them choose sides,
picking two teams from the players
and spectators present. Thus the
game was played; and, though not
much from a class standpoint, it
gave the boys good practice. Nor
did it end so bad at that, the score
being 6 to 8. But it might have
been a much better game if it had
not been for the rotten work of the
pitchers and the terrible sluggiug
of Bob Yates. The crowd seemed
to enjoy the tracas, and the advice
handed out to players was highly
inspiring.
Practice is what the boys need,
and they must get down and work
if they are to make a formidable
team. Some of them are in good
trim; and another week of practice
should produce a team in shape to
do battle.

The auditing committee reported
a number of bills; and, with the
exception of bill of A. L. Thomp-
son for building cross walks, these
were allowed and ordered to be paid.
The committee appointed to view
the walks turned in report that
they were not worth the money,
and the claim was not allowed.
City Engineer Thomas made
verbal report on the sewer con-
struction jod and informed the
council that he would make COM
plete report on Friday night.
Work on the sewer cannot be fn-
ished until the water gets lower,

sion of time. The council will
meet On Friday night to take up
this matter.
The question Of moving a water
hydrant was discussed; and the
Chief of police was instructed to see
that the hydrant be put in a place
where it will furnish the best fire
protection.
Plumber w. E. Reed made ap-
plication for a license to connect
sewer drains. This was granted.

Sewer Work Shut Down

The sewer contractors encount-
cred too much water on Fifth
street and were forced to close
down work for the present. 1t
will probably be about six weeks
before the water will be low enough
in the ground to permit of the
work being taken up again.

rooms removed from the necessary disturb
ance at the delivery desk. In 1908. when we
made an effort to obtain assistance from Mr.
Carnegie, his representative, after investiga-
ton of our endowment and amount of income
answered that Belfast was fortunate in having
already received SO generous gifts for library
purposes. and suggested that any additional
facilities be furnished by taxation or local
subscription. So, since there is no hope of
assistance from Mr.. Carnegie, and the prob
lem of shelfroom must be solved in some
way soon. If only an estimate of the cost #
building should be made this year. it might
prove the beginning. Then, when it is known
what sum. in addition to the Field Fund, is
necessary. possibly, by some means, the
amount might be raised, if public attention
were directed toward the Library.
In closing, wish to thank the Trustees and
Book Committee for their interest and SER
vices to the Library, and to commend Miss
Edna Crawford, who served efficiently as
assistant librarian during Miss Halls absence.
Respectfully submitted,

DAWSoN's PILGRIMAGE.


Jack Daw son lived way down in Maine,
Hoed corn, raised chickens and reaped grain
But said that Maine was moi designed
For men of mastery and mind;
And said no man of any soul
Should vegetate in such hole;
"Vermont's the State said he. Il want.
And I'll raise butter in Vermont"
At butter. then, Jack took turn,
But found it hard to work the churn.
1.-The air here in Vermont" says he,
SIS much too rarifed for me;
No man of enterprise and dash,
Who bankers after fame and cash,
Will browse around this barren peak
And grind his nose down to beak;
These hills may soak in snow and sleet-
I'll go to Kansas and raise wheat"
Jack found the weevils in his wheat
Would neither parley nor retreat;
Then said that Kansas was place
Unsuited to the human race;
But twas most delightful State
From which to skip and emigrate.
To California he escapes,
And settles down to raising grapes.
When half his yearly crop was lost
By hard, premature, quick frost.
Jack said, This country is failure,
! ship, next Monday. for Australia"
he IOunO AuSLrdIld was loo new,
Its risks too great, its gains too few.
He said. mo longer FL stay curled
In this back entry of the world;
And this time l propose to go
To where my goods will have show;
There is city of some size
Wherein a soul of enterprise
Can heap up piles of gold and gain,
And fnd d chance to use his brain,
And reach great affluence and renown''-
And SO Jack sailed to London town.
Jack landed confident and proud.
But soon was missing in the crowd;
He mingled in the general swim,
And Gladstone never called or him,
And still the Queen she sat alone,
Nor asked him up to share her throne:
He mingled in the million rout
And fate refused to sift him out.
Jack vanished; but the rolling world
Upon its axis still was whirled
The symptoms of the universe
Were not much better nor much worse;
And when friend Jack appeared again
Twas six months later down in Maine.
And Jack he settled down in Maine,
Hoed corn, raised chickens and reapad grain
He'd travelled round the world to find
A place just suited to his mind
And found it after years of doubt
The town from which he started out.
1.-THE way to get on fast" says he,
"Is just to stay right where you be-"

They'll raise pretty how ye-do,
Be very sure of that.

A cat is just an honored guest,
Who makes herself at home.
Obeying nobody's behest,
Contentedly she takes her rest

Besides, if you will tax the cat
She ought to have vote
The sutfragette insists on that.
And though you gag bit thereat,
She'll cram it down your throat.
Then you had better not forget
The cat is feminine
And if you get her in pet
She'll find a way to hand you, yet,

Rapid City, S. D., March 26.-ln
little cemetery out on the edge of
the Black Hills, where men hunt gold,
they have just dug the longest, wild
est, deepest grave in the great west.
The dirt is still fresh upon it and the
, flowers are not withered.
In that one grave lie a father,
mother and four children-the most
touching sacrifice offered up to the
great blizzard which has just swept
this bleak waste of the Middle West.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. F. Perry and their
nine children, a typical pioneer fam
fly, living at Big Bend, west in the
Hills, had started to move to the
Holcombe ranch, 10 miles east of
Rapid City. They had leased it from
April 1, and wanted to be there in
time to start their spring blowing
early. They left Big Bend on warm,
bright day, two wagon loads of fur
niture and machinery going ahead,
the two eldest sons on horseback, the
next three children in, one of the
wagons, and the father, mother and
four youngest in wagon behind.
They passed through Rapid City in
the afternoon. 1t was turning cold
and snow was beginning to fall.
you'd better STOP" the told Perry.
81 can't affor dto stay intown over
night" he answered. "I'm broke"
A stranger lent him $40 and he
bought feed and passed on with his
wife and children.
The wind strengthened from the
northeast, sweeping at will over the
wide prairie till it reached so miles
an hour The temperature went to
zero. The snow swept in binding
gusts. City folk scampered indoors.
The cattle of the ranges hunted cover
or turned and ran with the storm.
Railroad cuts filed with packed
drifts, trains stopped, wires fell and
poles snapped.
All night II roared and showed and
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1913-03-26

The second day team of horses,
with gdnny sacks over their heads,
and their harness dragging, fumbled
their way into Milton Frease's ranch
yard, II miles east of here. Frease
followed theirltrail back for a, mile
and found
A big snow drift, half hiding a r
wagon
A huddled mass in the wagon bot
tom.
A human figure under the wagon.
The huddled mass was Mrs. Perry
and Margaret, aged g.; Bessie, aged
6; Virgil, aged 4, and Baby Theresa,
IL months old. The mothers stiff
arms were around them. The baby
was pressed close to her icy, bare
breast. At the moment of death she
had tried to save her latest born by
giving it her own warmth.
The father, finding that the horses
would not face that bitter wind, had
b1ndfolded them. And at last, know
ing his own end was near, he had
freed them so they might save them
selves. Then, trying to climb back
into the wagon with his freezing
family, he slipped, fell under it and
died there.
And they had missed safety by a
quarter of a mile!
The two boys on horseback-Les-
lie, 10, and Evert, 15-had reached
the Holcomb ranch house and nut a
light in the window for their father.
The house stands on the Box Elder
divide. The trail runs just below.
And in that Nblinding snow their
father could not see the light.
1t was the biggest funeral Rapid
City had ever seen. Nearly all the
mourners were strangers-but in this
country a stranger is friend. Stran-
gers heaped the caskets with flowers,
strangers would have paid the sur
viving children's hotel bill a dozen
