What Providence intended that our

brief and concise description OF last
Saturdays ball game between the
Saltwater "All Stars and the pris-
on ball team. The game was chuck
full of fukes from the very start
and the goddess Luck seemed to de-
light in teasing first one side and
then the other, for they both got
jolts to be remembered.
The game was slightly late in
starting, owing to the tardiness of
the visitors arrival; and then when
it was under way the All Stars
lineup sported four recruits of un-I
known merit: Baker, FitzGerald, :,
Dykeman and DR.. Ramaker. The
two former are on the clerical force
of the institution and put up a fair
game. Dykeman is a Saltwater.
find" and will undoubtedly devel-
ore into classy garden man ere
next season. Doc" Ramaker is
our local dentist and he demorstrat-
ed in a very able fashion that he is
more at home with the forceps
than the bat. The latter two play
ers were retired at the opening Of
the fifth, being replaced by Ander-
son and Goullette, two regular mem
bers of the team who seemed to
prove that the maxim better late
than never" had it's supporters.
The game as a whole was simply
a pitchers, battle and as well it was
evidently an off day for hitters as
there was only eight hits made in
the contest, four by each team. The
score was correspondingly small and.
strange to say, errors were respon-
sible for every tally made. Alvin
opened the game for the visitors
and struck out four and held the
locals down to one hit in four in
nings, but issued four passes and hit
one batter. Goullette pitched the
balance of the game and struck out
six, walked none, snd only gave
three hits. Errors by Stone and
Swanson were responsible for the
runs tailed by the home team.
Red occupied the box for the locals
and pitched most spectacular game,
striking out fourteen, issued only
two passes and four hits; and then,
after practically winning the game
by his own efforts, he made bone"
in the eight, that turned an assured
victory into a most complete route.
Sometime ago there appeared in
the sporting news piece of poetry
by John w. Hammond that fits the
case much better than can describe
it. The poem is entitled: The
Vanished Chance" and is reproduced
below-.but it does not apply to ball
games alone.
THE VANISHED CHANCE.
THE batter gets a base, and then he
tries to steal,
But as he dives for safety he'stagged
out on the heel.
The next man hits double that
would have scored the first,
And all the fans grow wrathy, be-
cause for runs they thirst.
It's just one of those cases where
Fate casts a feeting glance
And then looks somewhere else--it's
just Vsnished chance.
A runner by an error gets round to
second base,
Another reaches first at most terrific
pace.
Then comes double play that puts
both on the blink,
And the batter on first base is the
sole remaining link.
A long fly follows next, the fans
stand up and dance.
A runner might have scored before,
it's just vanished chance.

Mitchell Monument Entirely DESTROYED.

Asheville, Jan. 3.-Unknown par
ties dynamited and entirely de-
siroyed the monument to Prof
Elisha Mitchell, erected on the top
of Mt. Mitchell. the latter part of
last week, according to advices
reaching Asheville today. The mon
ument, which was composed of a
mixture of bronze and lead, was re-
duced to shapeless ruin. The out
rage is believed to have been the
work of foreigners employed by a
lumber company working on the
side of Mt. Mitchell, who objected
to the actions of one of the foremen
and, thinking the monument the
property of the company, destroyed
it,
Professor Mitchell, Yale profess
sor, but at the time associated with
the faculty of the University of
North Carolina, proved that Mount
Mitchell, GIL sect high, is the high
est point east of the Rockies. In
further exploration of the mountain
which bears his name, he lost his
life and was buried on the summit.
Twenty years ago, alumni of the
University of North Carolina had
the monument erected On the top of
the peak to mark the last resting
place of Professor Mitchell. The
monument will be replaced.

The Man That Laughs Last
Laughs the Best.

By w. HI. Dugdale.)
There are many conditions in every
mans life
Over which he may have no control;
There are men who imagine because
they're on top
That they own mans body and soul.
They think every man must submit to
\ their will,
And will laugh when applying the test;
But sooner or later they're sure to lind
That the man that laughs last laughs
the best.
Take man who has money he wants to
invest,
And ON others must often depend,
He finds people ready with schemes to
advance
If the man has the money to lend.
When he gives up his cash he will look
for results,
For this reason he wants to invest,
He should first have a care in whom he
confdes.
For the man who laughs last laughs
the best
If you're working for wages you only
count one,
And the man at the wheel plays his
part;
He may show you some favors in guild
ing the ship,
But 1t comes from some generous heart;
And watch for results for you will get
them in time,
And such things cost man much I'M
rest;
He laughs as he sees the results of his
work,
But the man who laughs last laughs
the best.
There people who laugh when you're
doing your best,
No matter how you may try;
They laugh if your Efforts don't meet
with success,
They laugh when it's your time to
sigh;
They seldom consider the lane has a
turn,
They'll discover the matters no jest;
1t is better by far to be honest and fair,
For the man that laughs last laughs the
best.
Don't laugh if a man has weakness or
fault,
His heart may be honest and true;
There many good men who have SOr-
rows to bear,
And don't open the old wound anew;
Tomorrow the sun may be shining out
bright,
Let the cares of today go to rest;
lust remember there's oIhesr who have
the same chance,
And the man that laughs last laughs
the best.
1t will pay you to use due precaution
and care,
For the laugh as a rule tells the tale;
IFS an index to what YOU are irving to do
If you watch it you seldom will fail.
There's the laugh of deceit and the
the laugh of contempt,
And the whole-hearty laugh of jest;
But there's always another who has not
laughed yet
And the man that laughs last laughs
the best.
