LOT OF FUN PROMISED

Not one, but two games will be
played tomorrow afternoon between
Keokuk and Muscatine at the ball lot,
and the joy that lies in the announce
ment is this: Only one admission Is
to be charged for the double show.
It will be a real bargain day.
On the first swing around the cir
cult when Muscatine was here in May,
only three games were played when
four should have been staged. This
was discovered last night when Sec
Rotary Louis Sterne sought the rec
ords of The Gate City's score book
and the unplayed game was discover
ed.
Instead Of marching up to the
ticket window and laying down fifty
cents, the bug will plank only a quar-
ter to get through the gate and see
a brace of games that should be
among the best in the seasons his
tory. AS this is the last time around
the circuit for all of the clubs, the
rules and regulations of the c. A.,
strictly adhered to under the watchful
| eve of President M. e. Justice, will
permit the playing of double for
only one price. Burlington had a
game thrown out the other day be-
cause two games were stuck before
the view of the delighted insect ele-
ment for quarter. But that was be-
cause the time for charging single
had not arrived. Today Burlington
and Ottumwa are playing two games
/ for one fee

The foam on the crest of a billow,
The head on a trimming glass,
The south winds kiss, and its

The throb of a heart, the flash of

Mans love-and it's sure to pass.

T I has been said that the wapiti is
4 the largest of the red deer tribe
in the world. You had better
look at the specimens in the Zoo, and
see what you think about it, though,
They are certainly very big, and their
antlers are huge in proportion, Wild
ones are often even bigger. This wild
one of which l write was. He
weighed close on to half a ton, and
his vast horns spread out like the
branches of a tree.
He was feeding along the pine
patched slope of a mountain side, not
leading his herd. as master stag
should, but following on behind-let-
ting the others face the danger first.
The nerd was "a strong, mostly
kinds (females), but comprising too,
three or four stays, who hung about
the TANKS of the party-with them,
indeed, but hardly Of them. The chief
concern of these gentry was to avoid
the lord of the herd, for he was
very jealous and bad-tempered lord.
They had just come through the
divide" from the other side Of the
mountain, because the master stag
mad there suddenly given a plunge as
if the bullet had struck him. This
was not so really, but he had crossed
the fresh trail of a man, and the
shock of it caused the plunge. They
were ten miles away from that place
now, feeding peacefully among the
great still, ranked pines in deep 81
lence-the silence that comes with
light fall of snow.
If he had known anything at all,
that lordly stag would have KEEP
away from that place forever, for
the pines were mostly nutpines, and
there is a saying among the Red In
dams in those parts which means:
"Nutpines and grizzlies go together"
And this must have been true, be-
cause suddenly. in the oppressive 81
lence of the mountain forest, twig
snapped-snapped like a pistol shot.
The effect upon the deer was
strange. Il was just as If they had
all instantly been transformed into

MAIDEN NEGOTIATIONS.

Fortune does us neither good nor
harm. She presents us with the mat
ter and the seed, and we make JOY
or sorrow for ourselves, just as chill
dren build houses they choose with
their blocks.
Clothes warm us-not with their
heat but with our own, which they
are adapted TO cover and keep in!
If you have sufficient selfreliance
to take care of yourself, out of your
surplus energy you will be able to
do much for others.
The best way to secure good friends
is to be one.

you as the beginning of life and ev-

a Wonderful Town.

Lecturing at the London Salon OF
Photography recently, James Shaw
Eaid that the town of Rothenbury, in
Bavaria was a model in the way of
municipalities. Should a business be
on the point of leaving the town, the
town itself would guarantee the nee
eSsary money in order that the dis
aster to local industry might be
averted. Recently the town had IN
this manner financed baby car man

about, which he had done every min
ute or so.
The sudden frantic, terrified snort
of a young hind about thirty PAGES
in front of him was the first the stag
knew of the danger. That was fol-
lowed by an almost simultaneous
spring by the whole herd. in which
he, too, Joined; but even as he did so
he was aware of a great shape rear
ing up suddenly at his very side. He
sprang, therefore, to one side, and
realized in flash that there was no
time for a second bound. An enOr-
nous grizzly bear was practically up
on him.
Swiftly he dropped his horns, but
he was too late. He could not get
them quite low enough in time.
Wh-r-r-rri came the great bears
paw, with its siX-inch claws, in a
fearful raking, "round-arm stroke
and struck the antlers on the side
instead of on the point. The grand
stag reeled at the terrific impact of
the blow, his head being forced round
in spite of the enormous muscles Of
his own neck and shoulders.
Then, quick as flash. like boxer
delivering a hard attack, the bear
drove his second blow, from the other
as he did so. Bat! bat! sounded the
strokes-all as quickly as that-the
second blow landing clean on the
wapiti's neck. 1t was terrific
smash. The mighty stag dropped in
stantly in his tracks without a sound,
and Just as If he had been pole-aXed.
The grizzly had just broken his neck
with a single blow.
All Still.
Then the everlasting silence OF the
mountains, broken only by the crash
ing OF the wapiti herd, now far away,
settled down over the scene, and all
was still. The bear stood quite mo-
tionlesa over his splendid prey lis
tening suspicious as always.
He was grand figure of a beast
there in the red light of the setting
sun-a monster some ten feet long
and of a vaster bulk and weight even
than his victim; massive and hairy,
hump shoudered, almost bow-leggcd
by reason Of the enormous depth Of
his great cheSt-a rugged king Of the
mountain.
So still did he stand that a great
white-tailed eagle swept down on
rushing pinions, to see II there was
a chance of snatching a bit of venison
for herself l suppose. But the bear
took no notice. He was listening
hard.
Presently, very far behind him, he
heard q twig snap. That was enough.
Something besides himself was fol-
lowing the deer over the divide. He
had suspected it before by the actions
