THIS is THE WAY THAT "DEvIL-
CHILD" STORY Is RUMORED


ing rather weird Halloween game.
A story concerning the birth of a
deNl-child to an unbelieving mother
has made its appearance and has
found many who think that it is true.
A mother, so the story runs, lay
on her death bed. She denied the ex-
istence of the Almighty. The end
seemed near. Her husband had faith.
He didn't want to see her die railing
against the God he believed. So he
called in holy man to try and con-
vert her.
The good man came. He showed
her a picture of the Crucifxion. She
looked at it with a cold, cynical look.
Then she laughed bitterly.
Take it away" she cried, and her
voice arose higher, take it away. l
would sooner have a devil in my
house."
The room suddenly darkened. And
then a streak of red light stole in.
The good man and the husband
watched it with religious awe. An
expression of fear and horror came
over the race OF the woman on the
bed. She tried to close her eyes. She
couldn't. The strange red light fas-
cinated her. Then the light passed.
And To-! strange figure la on the
bed beside the woman. The three
turned to look at it. A cry of agony
escaped the woman. The object on
the bed seemed haf-devil, half-child.
The good man sank to his knees
and prayed. The husband turned his
face to the wall and moaned piteous-
ly. Then he began to cry Historically.
xiii that thing" he screamed.
Great God, why have you done this
to me. Kill it, l say"
But the good man merely prayed.
The husband, frantic with grief, pick
ed up club and rushed toward the
bed.
Then the strange little thino stood

sounded as old as the world.
Kill me, and you'll have seven
more like me-"
The husband tainted.
Several people believe this story. A
report was spread in that mysterious
underhand manner that the devil
child was taken to Hull House. Sew
eral hundred telephone inquiries have
been received there.
Il suppose some deformed baby
was born somewhere on the West
Side" said Miss Jane Adams, head
of the settlement house, ''but to see
the way otherwise intelligent people
let themselves be carried away by
the ridiculous story is simply aston
ishing. If l gave you the names of
some professional people-including
clergymen-who have asked me
about it, you simply wouldn't believe
me-"
The police of the Maxwell street
and the Desplaines street stations
have turned away several people who
come to the station looking for in
formation.
One old woman came into the Des-
PLANES street station and claimed
that she knew the story was true,
that the family lived on Waverly
court. An investigation was made
and nothing found.
Capt. Thomas F. Meagher of the
Desplaines street district said several
people said the baby was born in a
house near the north end of Douglas
Park.

BASEBALL GAMES
FOR TWO CITIES
MANAGER MURRAY's REQUEST FOR
ASSISTANCE FROM THE MOOR
HEAD BUSINESS MEN SEEMS TO
BE A REASONABLE ONE, AS CON-
TESTS WILL BE PLAYED THERE

The request of Manager J. Murray, of
the last season Athletics of Moorhead
that the business men of Moorhead
stand back of him in a financial way
in his efforts to secur a baseball team
for Fargo and Moorhead, seems to be
reasonable.
While the team would represent the
two cities II is understood that the
games will all be played across the
river, as 1t has been stated Oh this
side of the river that no Sunday pro-
fessionai games or games where ad-
mission is charged Will be tolerated in
Fargo during the coming summer.
Murray ropose to put In a hrst-
class semi-professional team in Moor
head, composed of as many home play
ers as will fill the bill and some pro-
fessionals of a high class. il is pro-
posed II a league composed of Red
river towns cannot be secured to play
independent ball and to bring in the
best teams that can be had from all
Of the surrounding towns and cities,
including Minneapolis, Winnipeg and
Grand Forks, as we'll as Valley City,
Devils Lake, etc.
The baseball business annot be put
underway without some financial as
siStance and II is this that Mr.. MUIR
ray desires. The fact that the team
will play across the river every Satur-
day should be the means of attracting
many people from the Fargo side and
in this way there would certainly be
some of them spend money there and
in this way the business men would
in a measure get part of their money
back again.
But that is not all. 1t would be fur
nishing the fans of both sides OF the
river clean, healthy sport and the eff
forts to secure the team should be en-
couraged. Mr.. Murray will likely make
a call on the business men of Moorhead

KOSSICK'S CASE
OF nose BLEED
HE WAS OBLIGED TO CANCEL ALL
DATES IN THE EAST, BUT HE
WILL BE ALL RIGHT AS SOON AS
HE GETS sTRoNGER-HAs A NEW
MANAGER.

Leo Kossick, the pride OF Fargo and
Moorhead did not box Saturday night,
neither will he attempt the game next
Saturday night in Pittsburg, Pa.
Kossick has been under the weather.
The climate a affected him and he
got the nose bleed" and for several
days since going east he was afflicted
more or less every day.
To the sport department Of The
Forum he writes from Philadelphia:
Am under the weather at present
and had to cancel the two dates that
were secured for me. My eastern
would be better for me to cancel dates
until i got acclimatized. He is also
the manager of George Houck, an east

McClusky and he is certainly a good
to be with McCarty all the time. / get
to go on in the semi-final the first
time that Luck McCarty and any big
gun boxes out in California or else
where. and believe me, this will be a
big chance for me.

a little too much. so / will have to get
used to it first before I start anything.

of blood, but this will all be over. In

NORTH DAKOTA WASTE
Or. Frankforter Gave an interesting
Lecture at the Grand Theatre
Last Evening. T.. .

DR.. George F~rankforter, dean of the
University of Wisconsin, and profess
sor of chemistry in the same ihstitu-
ton was the speaker last evening
at the Grand theatre in the free lee
ture course. His subject was Utiliza-
ton of Waste Material, the lecture be-
ing illustrated by some splendid slides.
DR.. Frankforter talked for half an
hour ON the subject before the iliustra-
tons were used and he took the posi-
tion that there was almost as much
substance wasted rs there was used.
He talked of the waste in coal In the
state of Pennsylvania and of the
waste of wood in the state of Min
nesota, Wisconsin and in the far west
and showed pictures of Just what this
waste means. Then he took up the
subject of North Dakota and said that
perhaps this state vas freer from
waste than almost any other state
In the union, but he said that there
vas a great waste in straw. The lee
ture was a brilliant one and was at
tended by a large number of people.

In the World of Sport
BASKETBALL IN
GRADE LEAGUE
GREAT INTEREST STILL BEING
MAINTAINED IN THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS OF THE CITY IN WHICH
GIRL AND BOY STUDENTS TAKE
PART-sOME RESULTS.

In the eighth grade the Hawthorne
girls won from the Lincoln school,, and
the Roosevelt defeated the Bongfellow.
The exhibitions put up by the eighth
grade boys were rather tame this
week., Roosevelt scoring an easy vic
tory over Lincoln and Agassiz taking
another from Hawthorne. Hereafter
the eighth grade boys games will come
on Mondays at 4 o'clock instead of
Fridays as heretofore, this being done
to give the high school boys an OPP
portunity of practicing.
The best games OF the week occurred
in the sixth grade league Saturday
morning, when Lincoln let the Long
fellow boys taste defeat for the first
time this season. To average their
classmates the Longfellow girls anne
back n defeated the Lincoln girls,
pulling them out Of first place. This
puts Longfellow and Hawthorne ties
for first place In the girls league.
The sixth grade AgassiZ boys came
up a notch by defeating Roosevelt in
the third overture game of the morn
ing. All of these games In the little
peoples. league were close and very
fast. Oh Valentine day Superintendent
Hoover took the part of the good Sam
arttan and appeared at the Hawthorne
and Lincoln schools, presenting each
with a banner, due Hawthorne for good
craftsmanship in football and one to
Lincoln for winning the football cham
pionship.
In his speech Mr.. Hoover commended
the boys and girls for the spirit in
which they had entered into the new
department of the school work and told
them that he wanted them to play and
be happy. as a person could not be
happy and bad at the same time. He
also, spoke a few words on behalf of
fair play INT good craftsmanship. He
was received with a great deal of en-
thusiasm by all.
Principal Robinson of the high
school has been devoting a great deal
of attention and spare time for the
past few weeks in assisting in the
coaching Of the high school basketball
team. He a brought his great exc
p%erience in the game to bear with good
effect in developing the midget attack
and in boosting up the effect and a
great deal of credit is due him for the
success which the team has attained
in the last three games.
