CIVIL WAR CHRISTMAS STORY.

The American Magazine has been
offering prizes for the best letters en-
titled MY Best Christmas" In the
December number the prize-winning
letters are published. The following
true Christmas story won second
prize:
MY best Christmas was in the year
of 1863, during the Civil War. My
father had enlisted at the beginning
Of the war and l, a young girl of ff-
teen, together with a brother of thir-
teen, lived with our mother in a small
cottage in the outskirts of a little vii
lage in Illinois.
1--WE had been taught from infancy
to ask God to help us in all things, so
in our dear fathers absence we called
upon God each day to watch over him
and bring him home to US.
"The days followed one another very
slowly but at last Christmas Eve came.
We had became discouraged and had
net made many preparations to cele-
brate, for we felt we could not endure
life much longer without some word
from our loved one.
AT last evening came and we gath
cred for evening prayer. Our mother,
who always conducted these services
in our fathers absence, could hardly
read the chapter selected. Then we
knelt and took turns in praying for
our loved one, though we were all
W eeping so We could scarce under
stand one another.
cat last the prayers were finished
and tears dried and we arose to our
feet-to see, our father rising from his
accustomed place near mother. He
had stolen in unobserved and taken
the place he loved so we'll in our even
ing worship.
words cannot express our joy and
happiness over his return. He told us
he had been severely wounded and
lad lain in a hospital for three months
and although he had sent us word
when he could of his whereabouts, the
letters had never reached us.
although this was fifty years ago
il seems but yesterday, and though
have seen many happy Christmases
since that time I am sure that was
My Best Christmas"

Locals Are at Winnipeg To-
day For the Last Leg of
Disastrous Trip.

The last series of the trip abroad
of the Grand Forks club will he
opened today at Winnipeg. when the
Flickertails meet the Maroons.
Up to the present time the tour has
been anything but profitable. Starting
out we'll with four wins out of five
games played, the locals have failed to
connect with the win column in seven
successive games: three to Mime
apolis, and two each to Winona and
Superior.
With three more games on the bill
before returning TO the city, these all
against Winnipeg, the locals expect to
return home Saturday close to the
mark held by them when they depart
ed, two out of three being Carney's
hope against the Maroons.
Grand Forks always has been able
to beat the Canadians, and on this
trip, with the locals having only four
out of eleven games played to their
credit, they will make an exception
ally hard bid for honors at the Mani
toha metropolis.
New Men in Lineup.
Two new men will be seen in the
lineup when the team again appears
at Dacotah park. They are Dougherty
at third, n Longstaff in the field.
Dougherty has only played in three
games, but has been successful in get
ting o u hits during that time, two
In il game and one each in the

Longstaff, in right field. Joined the
club yesterday. and got n of the six
hits thai were made off Dahlgren.'
Minneapolis is Here.
TO open the local series, Mime
apoiis Will be the opposing club. The
MIXERS nave been able to trim the
locals quite successfully on their own
grounds, not a single game having
been won by Grand Forks out Of ne
six played on Cantillon's park.
Comstock, the pitching phenom of
the Miller crew, probably will be sent
against Grand Forks next Sunday, and
that fact ought to mean a big crowd.
Comstock is leading the league in he
pitching department. and his work is
terest.
