THE ROAD OF LIFE.

There are beautiful things on the road
of life.
Awaiting our seeing eyes.
The tiniest plant that nature bestows,
The fleeciest cloud on the skies;
An innocent child and a gray old age
And the long glad days between.
But when the end of the road is reach
ed,
Can we say that we have seen?
There are wonderful paths on the road
of life,
Awaiting our restless feet.
They lead DER mountain and valley
and plain;
They lead through the busy street.
And all of them hold such marvellous
things;
A path for us each along
And when the end of the road Is reach.
ed,
Can we say we have found our own?
There are beautiful sounds by the
road of life.
Awaiting our listening ear.
The ripple of brook and the oceans
roar;
A laugh and word Of cheer;
whisper of love, message OF hope,
Or a simple song of bird.
But when the end of the road is reach
ed,
Can we say that we have heard
There are noble deeds on the road OF
life.
Awaiting our helpful hand,
A hopeless brother, hayward son;
A sister too weak to stand;
A discouraged man or weeping child
Are near as our course we run,
And when the end of the road is reach
ed,
Can we say the deeds are done?
There are sorrows and tears on the
road Of life,
Awaiting the voice of love.
The moan of the sick; the cry of the
lone
Are with US wherever We rove,
And should some sorrow remain UNI
soothed.
And some tears be undried;
All will be when the end is reached,
II we can say, I'VE have tried"

Heard From orsborn.

1t is surprising that long letter
was received yesterday from H. T.
Orsborn, physical director, who Is at
Lake Geneva In an endeavor to enjoy
MS vacation, but in his letter he an
nounces an accident which he had
Just suffered. which news will be re-
csived with regrets by his many Keo-
kuk friends. He was practicing on .
high bar and by some means dislocat-
ed the elbow Of his left arm, resulting
In painful wound. The surprise Is
that man 10 afflicted could write q
lengthy letter Of much length, abound
ing in every evidence of humor and
high spirits. It was an interesting
and nervy letter and shows that
he was bearing up nobly. His
canoe, a pretty little craft which
swims the water like a thing
Of life." was shipped to him the
other day to be used for JOY rides
on the gentle waters of the beautiful
lake. and It arrived there about the
time he met with his serious mishap.
But how can man row canoe with
one arm? He will have to call on
his athletic friends to do the rowing,
and that will take half the enjoyment
Of the ride. He is spirited and am
bilious, fond of all kinds of athletic
sports and enjoys to participate In the
pulling or the acting in every stun.
that's undertaken on the sport field.
The doctors give little announcement
for speedy relief from the serious in
Jury. But wound or no wound, he
will try his best to row that boat and
will sing with courageous vim Pull

CUB BUYERS HAVE
STARTLING E

Cincinnati, Feb. 27.-The conditions
required by the Chicago syndicate.
represented by Louis J. Behan. ne
%gotiating with Charles r. Taft for the
Cubs. IN a basis of $750,o00 for 81
per cent. were startling.
They demanded that Mr.. Taft elm
mate himself from any other Nation
al league club he might be connected
with to avoid any chance for the pub
lie to "holler" about syndicate base
ball.
They demanded thai the National
league players contract be submitted
to a court of last resort to determine
the validity of the reserve clause o:
else hat the Federal league Of base
ball clubs be taken into organized
baseball. thus assuring their hold OIL
the west side players. and lastly they
demanded that John J. Evers be re-
turned to the Chicago ball club or
Perdue and Sweeney be compelIea
to join the Cubs in exchange for the
former west side pilot. The Bchan
syndicate stood ready to buy if All
these conditions should he acccded to.

Baseball is a business proposition pure

contrary is bunk. The president OF 4

STRAIGHT FALLS
Defeats Martin Johnson,
Duluth Fireman uter to
Sign Another Wrestler

L. G. Curtis, who recently decided
to make Grand Forks his headquar-
tiers, last night defeated Martin John
son., the Duluth fireman, in straight
falls. The first fall was secured in
twenty-seven minutes with a head
and arm scissors, and the second in
t~Wenty-siX minutes with a double arm
hold.
The wrestling match was staged at
the auditorium and was attended by
a large. number of enthusiastic fans.
a number of women also witnessed
the match.
Curtis never was in danger. Only
twice in the first fall did johnson
have him on the defensive, and he
had little difficulty getting the upper
hand again. . In the second bolt,
johnson showed more agg~ressiveness
and got behind Curtis three times.
The latter was not worried, however,
and soOn had Johnson's shoulders
pinned to the mat.
The preliminaries were interesting.
James n Whitney, two university
boys. wrestled one fall. the latter Sc
curing it in fifteen minutes. McDon-
aid and Suter then gave a thirty min
ute exhibition, the latter getting the
fall. James and whitney then re-
turned for the second fall. James win
ming with a half Nelson in five min
utes.

Suter left this morning for the
twin cities, where, he will attempt to
sign up Carr or Francis for a match

ager should run his ball club. That's
why baseball is the national game.
I've stood II there at the park after
the Cubs had lost a game and heard
the fans-particularly those who had
come in on passes-shouting and
swearing that they'd never step inside
the park again. But / noticed that
the fellow who hollered the loudest
was about third in line at the window
the next day.
Baseball is Il business prop osition
and not "a game of sentiment. When
a player begins to slow up he's got to
be supplanted with new material. A
club owner has got to have a good
ball team. and all this 1ubbub about
keeping the old players is rot. Evers
and Tinker stole only about ten or
eleven bases a season before I let 'em
go. A man has got to be able to steal
thirty Or forty. Look At Comiskey.
He let Fielder Jones go after he had
won a. worlds series. Was there a
holler then? Was there a holler when
Jake Stahl was let out by the Red
SoS after coping the pennant? No.
But when Murphy does anything
there's a great hullabaloo. l tell you
