ANTON THORSON.


Colfax, Feb. %: It is our sad duty
this time to chronicle the death Of An
ton Thorson of Estevan, Canada,
which occurred at the home of his
brother, Albert Thorson Of this place
on Sunday evening, February 18th.
The cause of death was Brights dis
ease from which he had suffered since
last June. He sought medical aid at
various places and was. confined at
hospital in Minneapolis since last
fall but all medical aid was of no avail
to the sufferer. He gradually grew
worse until three weeks prior to his
death, he intended to leave for his
home in Canada but did not reach his
destination. He came to stay with
his brother and family.
Anton Thorson was born in this
township on May 20, 1871. His par
ents were Amin Thorson and Anna
Hanson. He was married to. Miss
Marie Hanson. They made their home
in this community and at Belgrade un-
til eleven years ago when they left

only three months old. He also
leaves to mourn three brothers, AL

+ Morris, Mimi, Mar. Pin one Of the
hardest fought games of basket ball
ever played on a Morris floor, the.
touring Seminary basket ball team
won the opening game Of their trip
from the Agricultural school quint Of
this city. The game was very rough,
especially in the last half, but few
fouls were called, as it was agreed
before the game started to let the
teams run fairly loose.
The floor of the "Armory" as it is
called is very slippery and the play
ers Of both teams were handicapped
on this account. ~
Why that building was ever called
an armory is more than we can see.
The playing field is not as large as
the Seminary gym, nor is the ceiling
as high. This fact and the slippery
floor nearly robbed the Seminary Of
the game.
A peculiar thing happened prior to
the game when after basket was
shot one of the baskets broke in two
places. This necessitated a delay Of
three quarters of an hour while a
basket was brought from the Farm
School, which is about a mile from
civilization.
The game finally started and it be-
gan to look as if the Seminary would
win hand down. At the last minute
the Aggies barred Harstad, and the
Seminary was forced to use a new
line up. Acting Captain Bill Cord
hamer made good with vengeance
in his filling of Nordstrom's shoes.
Five times in the first half he con-
nected with the net, and these ten
points, together with two baskets by
Oscar Johnson brought the Seminary
total up to fourteen points for the
half. All this time the Aggies were
trying hard to penetrate the stiff de-
Tense presented by Kannikeberg and
Oscar Johnson. The former was af-
ter his man all the time and he had
no chance of making a basket, while
the latter took the liberty OF connect
ing with two baskets and holding his
man to one basket. Christian and
Nelson were kept busy during this
period in breaking up the home
teams team play. The half ended
1913.
The second half was a different
story. Reinforced by a recruit cen
ter the Aggies fought hard and scor-
ed II points, holding Seminary to z.
The crowd went wild during the
closing minutes of the play and the
members of both teams were at it

PLENTY OF CHANCES
All That is Necessary is for a
Man to Show Worth
and Worthiness to
Win Success

the world is full of them. There's
just as big job waiting for you as
you are capable of filling. There
are just as many unsolved prob
lens awaiting the man who isn't
afraid to dig as there ever were.
There's just as much room at the
top Of the ladder of fame and knowl-
edge as any time in history.
It's true that you have to catch
your game in different way than
your grandfathers did. Opportun-
ity is little more expensive than
it used to be and you've got to be
made of pretty high grade clay to
fill the bill, but the world is willing
to pay as we'll for the goods as it
ever was.
The talk about opportunity only
knocking once at every mans door
is too pessimistic. | believe that a
fellow ought to fit himself for some
thing, then go and knock at Oppor-
tunity's door. This waiting for the
opportune time is all bosh. If you've
got the stuff in you, if you're burn
ing with some great truth for am
bition, step up and give the door of
Opportunity a rap that will make
her jump and say. Who's there?"
Stand back" you say. and let me
in; I've got the GOODS Pm from
Missouri. You've got to show me-"
says Opportunity, and she gives
you chance to show the world
what you can do. If you've got
the goods, or the pluck to go after
them, Opportunity never says, You
walt here till get ready to call on
YOU"
But say my boy, what is success
made of? I'll tell you. It's made of
a thousand and one little pieces of
common place labor well done.
When you slight a chore or any
work, yoa are putting a soft stone
In the foundation of success. Every
time you give way to bad habit.
you arc building with stuff that will
not stand. Success isn't made out
Of carelessness or vice. 1t isu't
built in a day or year.
| Success Like a Diamond
Success is of such infinite value
that it is counterfeited. Did you
ever stop to think that cheap things,
good for nothing things are not
counterfeited! OF course they're
not. The world has been watching
some fellows who apparently typi-
fled success. A little public inves-
tigation has revealed the fact that
they were mere limitations paper
mache frauds as it were. They sud-
denly deprecated in value. No,
my boy, success isn't to be meas
ured by the things man has out
side of him, but by what's in him.
True success is like the diamond;
you can tear it from it's setting and
throw it in the gutter, but still it
has its true value. Its bound to
shine. Tear social success from it's
fine setting of wealth, and the world
tramples over it and knows it not.
The chances for success are all
about you. Get ready to bag tn.
game. Learn TO shoot so you can
hit the mark. If you can't bag
small game look for the bulls and
BEARS"
Its dangerous to be hunting big
game when you have been too care
less in your practice. The secret of
success, the key to the door of op-
portunity is thoroughness in small
duties.
Perseverance always wins.-

Richard le Gallienne

April for me is everywhere thou art,
And tits December every time we part,
Yea! though for other folk the wild white
spring
Half heals, half breaks, the heart
With every lovely and rejoicing thing.
Before thy lightest football winter goes,
And turns to violets her shroud of snow,
The leafless desert when thy voice is heard
Fills with the budding rose,
And rings with song of the enra ptured bird.
God spare me from the coming of May
That can return, but thou be gone away,
Urgent with crowding leaf and cruel bloom!
Yet best for me to stay
Than thou in such a fearful empty room.
