she directed briskly, indicating the
bold little creature with wave of her
hand.
OH" He came back to earth with
a start. Then he moved slowly and
carefully toward the mouse, which
lost it's head and retreated to the 9TH
er bookcase, which had no exit under
it. Down on his hands and knees
dropped the youth, lost in the chase
For few moments confusion reigned
underneath the bookcase. Then the
awkward young man rose, holding the
wriggling mouse in one hand.
What are you going to do with it,"
inquired Nora in a tone which implied
that he was stealing her little pet.
"Inoculate it with tuberculosis" he
said, dreamily.
You shan't," Nora's tone was firm.
He raised his eyebrows and looked
at her for the first time. you wish
me to put it back there?" he asked,
politely, pointing to the bookcase.
Indeed not!" said Nora, disgusted
by such stupidity. Take it out and
lose it, please"
The youth bowed. Very WELL" he
said, and backed out, gently rubbing
the mouse with a crooked forefinger.

AMBULANCE FOR CITY.

An article many times greatly need.
ed in Manchester has been seen on
the streets since Monday and has
awakened much favorable comment.
It is a beautiful new ambulance and
is the property of Theodore Shelley,
undertaken and embalmer. Having
realized the need for such a vehicle
when patients are to be removed to
ana from Parkview hospital, and al
SO in the furtherance Of his own
business, Mr.. Shelley last week pur-
chased an up-to-date outfit and it
was shipped to him on Monday. There
is no question but that it will be
found of inestimable value by the
physicians Of the city in the trans
portation Of patients and Mr.. Shell
ley is being highly commended for
his timely purchase.

& SHALL WE PLAY BALL?.

The question suggested by the cap
tion above is called to mind by the.
fact that on Friday evening of last
week an enthusiastic meeting of fans
was held at Strawberry Point and.
it was decided to put fast team in
the field in 1914, a subscription pap
er being literally signed and enthus-
iasm running high. The matter of
a team for Manchester has been dis
cussed in certain circles, but no ac-
ton has yet been taken: All who
remember the great games played
between The Point and Manches-
ter in past seasons, earnestly hope.
the Dairy City will be represented in
1914 by club, Of calibre sufficient
to make it interesting for the Clay
ton county fellows. Cascade, Mon
sicello, Independence, Dyersville and
Volga City are already talking base
ball for next season. Shall we play?
