that the baby did not require a ticket.
Return the half fare ticket and
I'll cancel it and give you back $18,"
he said.
YOU'RE sure they won't put us
off the train" she asked, wistfully.
Reassured, the tired, anxious face
at the ticket window frightened up.
The lines of ears seemed to disappear
and for a moment there anne again
to the face the freshness and bloom
of long ago--a long ago when there
were no worries, no lines OF car and
no furrows-a long ago when hope
and JOY and youthful buoyancy Hum
ined the features.
AS the SIS were thrust into the
trembling palm, the rough. labor
Redeemed right hand pressed a cheap
handkerchief TO the faded eyes and

GAME POSTPONED


To avoid having three teachers
away from school on Friday, the high
school basket ball management sue
ceeded yesterday in postponing the
game with Flandreau high at Elan
dreau from Friday night to Saturday
night. The girls team will accom-
pany the boys TO Flandreau and joust
there with the high misses of that
city.
Injury and illness is spreading the
havoc of a machine gun in the high
school ranks. Powers Is laid up with
a sore leg, Harvey has a bad thumb
and Capt E.lfert is on the sick list.
Unless their recovery is complete by
Friday night, Acting Coach H.. G.
Hensley will proceed to ~Flandreau
with less than a corporal's guard.
Clair Cole, who starred as a men,
Der of the football team last fall,
Joined the basket ball squad this
week. He lacks experience, but
shows promise. In the workouts so
far this week his playing has been
remarkable for a candidate who has
been in the game so short a time.
Coach w. l.. Garges is still at his
home i'm Pittsburgh. where he was
called on account of the serious ill
ness of his father. He Is expected 10
return some time next week.
1t is understood that If the high
school-Normal series is arranged, ii
will not take place until after the
tournament at Huron in March. Both
games are sure to be hard ones and
the high school coaches do not care
to risk even slight injuries TO their
men prior to the big wind-up of the
regular schedule.
Whether the Normal management
will care to keep its team in prac-
tice until the middle of March is
doubtful, and the series may be
abandoned. But If both teams are
really anxious to play. they will be
content to meet in a post-season
series.

bronze medals will be provided for
winners in each of the events. In
addition the individual contestant
who captures the most points in the
meet will receive a silver cup. The
Davis trophy will be again offered
for the high school which wins the

terested the high schools in the state
and a friendly but none the less keen
rivalry between the various sections
of South Dakota has developed and
contributes to the interest of the an
nual athletic event.
The meet will be a standard one
insofar as the events are concerned.
Two events, however, will be omit
ted, the hammer throw and the two
mile run. A certain element of dan
ger attaches to the hammer throw
when a large number of high school
athletes compete and a two mile run
calls for a strength and stamina not
shown by high school boys. Other

those of standard track meets.
Plans are being made by the ath.
letic department and the student as

RAILROAD BOYS
BRING JOY TO A WEARY MOTH
FIR At MITCHELL.

Mitchell. Feb. 22.-Corporations
are not always soulless.
There is an overwhelming abund-
ance of charity and compassion in the
heart of the railroad corporation and
Its employees at times.
One of the cases which illustrates
the point occurred at the Milwaukee
station in Mitchell a day or so ago.
A tired looking woman in faded
garments and an old hat that may
have been in fashion once. stepped up
to the ticket window and asked for
three tickets to Richmond. Va, and
one half fare ticket" The full fare
tickets were for herself and two chill
dren. The half fare ticket was for a
bashful child that was clinging to her
skirts.
The woman had outside a mattress
and a few other little possessions she
wanted checked. When she applied
at the baggage office she found the
baggage could not be checked with
out being boxed. To send it by ex-
press and pay the charges would
have cost SIS. This is more than
the goods were worth.
After paying s126 for her tickets
the had two or three dollars
left, not enough to feed the three
hungry children and herself on the
way Il Richmond. Not enough to
pay for expressing the goods.
She returned to the ticket window
in the depot for advice. Her lips
~quivered and she tried to repress her
tears. The ticket man at the window
proved Immediately that he was not
a mere machine, but a human being
with a heart and reasoning power,
He looked at the wistful, tired face
in front of him, at the fretful baby
and the eager, expectant youngsters.
Excusing himself he visited the bag

ton and mapped out a plan by which
the few family possessions might be
boxed up and checked east on the
night train. The baggage man him.

the office, observed that the baby was
