BIG GAME SUNDAY, BIACkFOOT
VS.. IDAHO FALLS

Blackfoot will have three or four
new men in the lineup next Sunday
when they meet Idaho Falls and will
endeavor to win If there is possible
chance, if our team wins, this will
give us second place and if We lose
We will be in the cellar. They say
bad start makes good ending, sc
losing the first game to Pocatello
should not make much difference.
Our boys have been out practicing
every evening this week and report
that they are getting in good shape
and that the error column for next
Sunday will have a surprise from
what it was last Sunday.
Idaho Falls lost their game to
American Falls last Sunday on their
home grounds and we lost our game
on our home grounds to Pocatello,
so next Sunday the tail end teams
will see which one can win.
1t is hoped that next Sunday is a
nice day SO that each player can
show what he can do, as last Sunday
the game was played in a dust storm
and the Blackfoot boys were generally
in the field when the wind and dust
was blowing the hardest.
Idaho Falls will arrive on the
1910 p. m. accompanied by at least
two hundred base ball fans from their
city to help boost their town and help
their team win.
The game VII be called promptly
at 3 p. M, and the Blackfoot band
will march to the base ball grounds
at $3.50 p. m. from the corner of
Bridge and Main streets.
The Blackfoot tigers will journey
to Ashton, Sunday and take on the
Ashton team. Any players in town
Wanting a chance to play ball and
not being in the first club kindly call
on Max Smith and you will be given
a try out.
Everybody is invited to attend the
game next Sunday and help Blackfoot
have winning team. Come out
and be booster. 1t will do you
good d-Contributed.

MRS. HAYES GOES HOME

Mrs. C. C. Hayes, who has been
visiting friends and relatives at Black
foot and Idaho Falls, leaves for home
Saturday morning. Mrs. Hayes grew
up in Blackfoot and for a long time
was Unidentified with most of the
musical and other public entertain
ments given by the home folks. AT
the time of the Musical Festival at
Blackfoot in June 1910, when "The
Messiah" was rendered. Mrs. Hayes
had just passed a critical point in
an illness in which her life was des-
paired of for a time, and this was
one of the first musical entertain
ments she had failed to participate in.
Leading spirits in, the movement con-
suited with her physician and the
nurse to see If music by wire" would
be safe for her, and by their permis-
sion they connected telephone at
her bedside in Idaho Falls with the
Auditorium in Blackfoot, and the
telephone company kept all other
matter off of the line while the big
company sang for her, II know that
my Redeemer liveth."
It was happy event for her and
aided in her recovery, and was one
of the unusually successful attempts
at shipping music" from one town
to another. The incident has been
widely published by the press of the
country.

p ended upon the individual and the
bunch he or she hob-nobs with. Many
Of the men who snubbed him were
those who owed small accounts at
the office-too small to sue a man
for. Many of the women who snub-
bed Mr.. Trego or his wife were of
the very gossiping kind. Mr.. Trego
observed that practically all of those
who had ever been the objects of
unsavory reports and especially those
whom the man on the street regards
as of doubtful moral worth, ceased
to greet him when they met. The
workingmen and women and work.
ing girls who pay their debts, were
the kindest and most loyal. The
woman with past who is trying for
a position in society, is the one who
elevated her nose as she met him and
sometimes hummed a little tune as
she did so.
There is one instance that is diff
ferent from all others. A young lady
teacher with an excellent reputation,
good looking, possessing a fine dis
position and every appearance of high
birth or at least good family, one who
had accepted favors and courtesies
at the hands of the editor, favors that
were fully repaid in her appreciative
thanks and in her friendship, had
done something that revealed an al
most unbelievable freak in her
character, and we mention the cir
cumstances to illustrate the amused
charity in which Mr.. Trego always
held her when she met or passed him
without speaking, after the fight
started.
In one room at school there was a
boy who was seeing some of life's
other side and was not popular with
his classmates or teacher. When they
decided to have a Christmas enter
tainment they wanted tree, and that
matter was giving the teacher trouble.
Finally she appealed to this unpop-
ular boy to know if he couldn't get
her a tree. He was impressed with
the request and went out and stole
one. Before the time arrived for
them to dress the tree, the teacher
was informed as to the stealing and
was told to whom it belonged. But
they went on and used it, and after
they were through with it she sent
word to the owner to Ocome and get
her tree. The woman was furious.
This teacher we have described was
unable to pacify her with the tender
of second hand tree, used with full
knowledge that it had been stolen,
used to commemorate the coming of
the Savior with the laws of love, of
peace and honesty and unselfishness,
and she then turned against the boy
who had helped her out of her dilem-
ma, and blamed him for stealing it,
After pressing that argument and
finding that it impressed the woman,
she said the boy ought to be prose-
cuted for stealing the tree, and told
the woman that if she wanted proof
of the theft she herself would 60 into
court and give testimony against him.
There is a certain type of charac-
ter, broad, clean, honest and selfre-
specting, that gives even an accused
man friendly glance and greeting
and it doesn't hurt either one, but
there are characters of lesser magni-
tude that look down at the paving,
and still lesser lights that tip their
heads back and still look at the paw
ing. This lady teacher takes the mid
die rank.
