CARRIERS MISERY
PICTURED BY
c. K S.
POETIC NEWSBoY DESCRIBES HIS
HARD LOT IN SL.EDGE-
HAMMER VERSE.

The Pinch Hitter
I enclose a bit of rough work in
spired by the last two mornings and
hammered out in Tubalkane's smithy.
THE PAPER CARRIER.
You may think that your lot is the
hardest
That ever made man forlorn,
But yours is a snap compared to the
chap
So hearken to my hero.
The paper carrier bold:
And if you listen closely
Soon will his tale be told.
Each day at five a. M. I rise
Up from my bed of ease,
My body cold with wraps enfold
And step out in the breeze.
But it is with two pairs of pants,
MackinaW, cap and sweater,
That | fare forth to fight the north
For 'worser' or for better.
For Plu has opened up Hell Gate,
Thru it the wind lets run
Like steel blades narrow, right to the
marrow,
The icy chill does come.
Il gasp for breath. but struggle on
From south side to Main street;
Fighting, aye fighting Boreas so bit
ing:
TIL also sing, like Richard. the king,
My kingdom for some HEATH
AT last l gain the office room,
And stay there hours, I think
CTis the usual thing, both winter and
spring
The press is on the blink
"The able pressman finally gets
n blame machine to working;
Then thru the sleet this mornings
sheet
| carry without Sinking.
Around my route I work my way;
Subscribers-When they see me,
With charity sweet, they thus repeat,
All you're late again, T see
Such is the gay old life I lead:
Long may it last, I Say
For the pay is double the worth Of
the trouble
'Tis forty cents per day"
on! yes. You may feel that your lot
is bard,
But whenever you're feeling blue,
Think of the capers Of CARRYING paper
When the Frost is used for dew:
Think of the joys that will come to
to the boys
In taking this poem to you.

THOMPSON
TO FIGHT BOYD
ONCE MORE
BUTTE ScRAPPER WILL MEET
LOCAL MAN AT ROCHESTER
GYM THIS MONTH.

Maurice Thompson will meet Jimmie
Boyd here on some date between Feb
ruary IL and II. Jimmie Piquett has
been corresponding with the Butte
fighter with the idea of arranging a
match, and has everything except the
date definitely settled. 1t is probable
that the match will be staged at the
Rochester gymnasium on Monday,
February II. The men are anxious for
a second meeting. Some time ago
they fought to a draw in Missoula.
The outcome vas somewhat of a sur
prise, for Thompson was expected to
make short work of his opponent,
though Boyd weighed about 100
pounds. The big fellow fought the
Butte man to a ~standstill, and gave
more punishment h he took. It is
the opinion of many who saw the
fight that Boyd was entitled to the
decision. Thompson was not in con-
dition, though, having just recovered
from a beating administered by Dick
Hyland, and he insisted that a second
match be agreed to. Boyd vas more
than willing, and the articles were
signed. Now the two men are to meet
again, both in fine condition n both
sure of victory. A dispatch from
Butte says:
Maurice Thompson. the local light
weight. expects a busy month during
February, and already has two i'm
portant battles arranged. He goes to
Missoula for a match with Jimmie
Boyd, who weighs close to 100 pounds,
about February II or IA. February
% will find him at Sheridan, Wyo.,
where he will have another set-to
with the Battling Dane. Thompson
starts work tomorrow for his Mis-
soula engagement. and expects to be
in good trim when he meets Boyd.

MANAGER kLE1E is OFFERED A
GAME BY J. /. MARKHAM OF
THE TRIPLE BIS.
|FOR GEORGES BIRTHDAY
Game Will Be Played on February 22
II Offer Is. Accepted-Third Battle
Will Be With the Carroll Club Of
Helena on Monday Following.

The Montana basketball five may
meet the crack Triple B team OF Bill
lings on Washington's birthday.
Manager George Klebe received a let
ter yesterday from J.. L. Markham,
manager and player and, incidentally,
sports editor of the Billings Evening
Journal, offering the varsity a guar
antee of SIS for a game in Billings
the night after the Montana Aggie
battle. Whether or not the offer
would be accepted Mr.. Klebe is not
ready to say. He will consult Ath-
letic Director MUSTANG and the exec
utive committee of the A. S. U, NJ,
before deciding.
The varsity will probably play a
game with the Carroll club of Helena
in order to break the trip to Boze-
man. If the. Triple B offer Is taken
he team will play it's first game in
Bozeman on February p against the
Aggies. The five will then go west
to meet the Triple BIS and will meet
the Helena five. on the home trip.
This will place the most important
game first and will insure good con-
dition when the quintet meets the
Aggies. With the Triple B team the
varsity would have no chance. The
fast professionals in Billings have
been playing together a good many
years and have a team that ranks
with the very best in the country.
They beat the Aggies by a one-sided
score and would do the same to the
varsity. They are o in college
class at all. The experience that
would be gained from a meeting with
this crack team would be worth
while, though, and the offer Of Mr..
Markham may be accepted.
The final game against the Carroll
club will be IN cas- battle. Last
twice, but this year the tables will
surely be reversed. The Aggies beat
the five from the capital by a one
sided score right after the game with
the varsity.
Practice will be resumed at the var
sity his week. Paul Gervais, star
guard, who a been practicing with
the team, is eligible to play this
semester n will probably win a
place on the five. Coach Mustaine
and Captain Whistler are going to
keep the team hard at work for the
next two weeks. There is no sign
of over-confidence. The men realize
that they beat the Aggies by a mighty
margin and are determined to
fight for another victory when the
return game is played on the Far
mers' floor.

resulting. Early in the day John
Schramm offered the board a 4O-acre
tract at the mouth of Grant creek for
$50 per acre but this was not consid-

the commissioners believe should be
purchased at this time. Many others

"InduStrial work in the schools Of
Gary, Indiana, made money instead Of
costing money during the past year.
SAYS DR.. p. T. ClaXton, United States
commissioner Of education. when
the school authorities in Gary came to
sum up the results of the work in the
trade courses, they found that the
three departments Of printing, cabinet
work, and painting had to their credit
a profit of $S75.4S. This is real value,
too; the pupils made articles that
were needed in the school; if they had
not made them in the school shops the
authorities would have had to pur-
chase them in the open market at a
total price of seven or eight thousand
dollars"
The commissioner then gives the
figures for ach of the trade classes in
the Gary schools, as reported by G..
e. Wulfing, in charge of the industrial
instruction. In the printing depart
ment the value of the work produced
was $1,972.92. The salary expense was
$1,4S3.49 and supplies cost 1914, leav-
ing a net balance in favor of the shop
of $175.43. There were 35 in the
printing class, so Instead of figuring
the per capita cost of the industrial
training of these pupils, it vas pos
sible to figure a definite contribution
by each pupil to the wealth of the
community.
