The Ideals last night hung up a new
team bowling record when they de-
feated the Royals by the score of
25O8 to 2319. The Royals defeated the
ideals in one OF the games of the series
of three and the ten-pin rolling that
was done by many of the men on the
two teams was brilliant.
The Royals rolled with one man on
their team what is known as "blind"
They had but four men and as a con-
sequence the 'blind" score was placed
at 125 and a handicap of - pins per
game was granted to them.

high man in the game last night. He
bowled over POI on the first game,

game and in the second game, Eddie

Employees of the Bell Telephone

broken by the ice. The weight of the
ice not only snapped wires, but it bore
many poles to the ground

the city was impaired, but by working
overtime the company was enabled to
get the city telephones working.
Telephone wires in various parts of

in contact with trolley and electric

by these crossed wires.
The street car company experienced
much difficulty in operating the line
yesterday morning, but the ice was re-

service was almost normal during the
afternoon.
Street cars encountered extreme
difficulty in making their last rounds

ment of a 100000 street railway note,

against Whitelaw.
The attorneys for Mr.. Whitelaw be-
lieve they have phases of the case to
bring before the Supreme Court that

NAV COOPER'S Tree
BORE s. $1-BILLS
Bankers Mouths Sag Open As
They Contemplate Xmas
Phenomenon.

Money grew on "Maw" Cooper's
Christmas tree!
Crisp, cracking, one dollar bills
money that never had been spent
budded from every limb, every twig!
For once in her life, "Maw" was
speeches.. But for Just 4 moment.
Then she fastened TO notify her
neighbors of the wonderful natural
phenomenon and invited all the bank
ers in town down to her table to wit
mess the spectacle. Some of the bank
crS refused to be separated from the
table.
They sat wide-eyed, staring at the
miracle placed before them. NAV"
eventually was compelled to lay the
little red raw-hide whip across their
shoulders to induce them to give up a
study of her kind of horticulture and
return to prozaic conformity with the
laws of ordinary banking.
The raw-hide whip was no less in
demand to convince some of "Maw'S"
boys that it was not their job to pluck
of the forbidden fruit.
The seed for CLAWS" doIlar-bill-
bearing Christmas tree was sown
throughout a year Of making a home
for her "boys" at the boarding house
on Themis street, and the boys
men in all walks of life, professional
men, doctors, bankers, capitalists,
statesmen, business men, all of them
undertook to see that the Christmas
tree bore heavy crop of fruit.
There lacked but two of being an
even sixty of the notes that burdened
the little dinner table tree.
After the idea of a tree decorated
with money had been carried into exc
cution, it required considerable ingen-
uity to usher the thing in place on the
table. A large birthday cake, baked
in honor Of Emil VOTERS with 40
candles, occupied the center of the
stage and the place to be pre-empted
by the tree.
The move was successfully made
when Celeste removed the cake, after
she had been given a secret view of
the phenomenon. "Maw" objected to
the disappearance of the cake, but her
cries We're quashed by the glittering
spectacle.
1t is needless to say that "Maw"
assumed control of the pine-tree's des-
TIMES and from that time on.
The tree was decorated with 81 bills,
donated by the men who take their
meals at "Maw's."

NORMAL FRESHMAN
IN A VENDETTA
School Class May Disband Be-
cause Party Proved
A Frost.

The Freshman class at the Normal
School is being ripped asunder and
an intraclass social strife is being en-
gendered as a result of the neglect and
inferred contempt with which about
half of its members treated a party
that the officers of the class staged at
the Normal gymnasium last Wednes-
day night.
The officers and a large number of
the leaders in the class are talking
of organizing i. social club within the
class whose membership shall be linn
tied only to those who meet with the
unanimous favor of all the adlninistra-
ton set.
Those who refused to attend the
class social given just before the
Christmas holidays, will be left out of
the proposed order and the functions
that the club proposes to have, will
be planned to have no equals in the
school.
The officers and members of the
committee that worked up the last af-
fair felt stung to the quick when but
less than score and half showed up
for the entertainment, whereas they
had expected an attendance of fully -
people.
The affair had been planned with
simplicity as its keynote and many
of the homely old amusements were
worked into the programme. After a
literary programme had been given,
many old-fashioned games We're staged
on the floor of the gymnasium.
"If they are not satisfied with that"
one of the officers remarked, 1--WE will
show what q real class function can
be like and our contcmptuous friends
will be closed out
At the last function, the young wOm-
en- members of the class were in
charge Of the eats, and those who
worked hard over sandwich prepare
tions, felt additionally sighted when
not enough of the boys in the class
were interested enough to attend to aid
in the consumption of The luncheon.
The committee in charge of the af-
fair was Ernest Funk. Alma Clippard,
and Minnie Ferris.
