MADISON,SIOUX FALLS
MADISON BONLERS TRIM THE
EDES TANNING COMPANY
TEAM, 2.7t6 TO 2653.

In one of the most hotly contested
match games ever rolled on the Madi-
son alleys. the Madison bowlers took
two out of three games from the Edes
Tanning company team of Sioux Falls
last night. The Edes Tanning com
pany team is composed of a bunch of
real gentlemen and good bowlers.
and reputed TO be the fastest team
i'm Sioux Falls. but the Madison boys
trimmed them TO the tune of 2,716 to
1853. The score rolled up by the
Madison bowlers is one of the largest
ever rolled on the local alleys and
would look good i'm any of the nu-
merous tournaments held in this sec
ton. The second game. $50. is next
to the highest game rolled this year.
95S being rolled by the Smoke House
team in the local league on Novem-
Der 2S.
Mackay rolled the highest single
game of the series. getting five
straight strikes in his second game
for a total of 220. Potter. of Sioux
Falls. was next high, with 2G2 in his
first game. Hanson and Coutts tied
for high total. with $50. Coutts MISS
ing the spin in the first game. the
only error he had in the three games,
which beat him u OF high total.
All OF the Madison boys were in fine
form and all deserve praise for their
good work.
Three splits were picked up, Gold
en-. of Sioux Falls picking up the 81
and $40 and Coutts the 81.
One of the largest crowds ever as
sembled in the Madison alleys watch
ed the contest. conservative estimates
placing the number i'm attendance al
around 200. Some of the boys are
pretty hoarse this morning from con-
slant roofing" The cheering could
be heard all over the downtown dis
trict, even being heard within the I'm
perial theater.
A return match will be played at
Sioux Falls probably January 27, aft
er the Aberdeen tournament. An eff
fort is being made to raise money
enough TO send the boys TO the Aber-
dene tournament. which opens next
Wednesday. January It. This would
be a big advertisement for thescity OF
Madison and a profitable thing for the
Madison bowlers should they dupli-
cate their scores of last night.
Following are the scores and sum

and the very most patriotic Of them
all has no word Of praise for the ugly

Mount Mark Is anything but proud OF

So Ii happened that one sultry morn
ing, late in the month of August, there
was the usual flutter OF excitement and
confusion on the platform and In the
waiting room Of the station. The ha-
bitues were there i'm force. COnspicu-
Gus among them were four gayly
dressed young men, smoking cigarettes
and gazing with lack-luster eyes upon
the animated scene, which evidently
bored them.

But-well, when found this grand,
couldn't resist praying about It."
"But a barn!" calculated the per-
picked member" "Do you call that
a blessing"

dence. Then she explained patiently:
"Oh, it is on the chidren's account.
you know. They have always longed
for q big. romantic barn TO play in.
That's why l couldn't resist saying my
prayers-I was so happy l couldn't
hold in"
AS they walked slowly toward the
house, Mrs. Adams looked at this par
sonage girl in frank curiosity and some
dismay, which she strongly endeavored
to conceal from the bright-eyed Pru-
dence. The Ladies had said it would
be so nice to have grown girl in the
parsonage! Prudence was nineteen
from all account, but she looked like a
child, and-well, it was not exactly
grown-up to give thanks for barn,
to say the very least! Yet this girl
had full charge of four younger chill
dren. and was further burdened with
the entire care of a minister-father !!
Well, well! Mrs. Adams sighed a
little.
"You are tired" said Prudence SYM
pathetically. "It's so hot walking,
isn't 1t? Let's sit on the porch until
you are nicely rested"
"This is a fine chance for us to get
acquainted" said the good woman with
eagerness.
Now, If the truth must be told, there
had been some ill-feeling In the Ladies'
Aid society concerning the reception OF
Prudence. After the session Of con-
ference, when Rev. Mr.. Starr was as
signed to Mount Mark. the Ladies Of
the church had felt great interest In
the man and his family. They inquired
on every hand, and learned several in
teresting items. The mother had been
taken from the family five years be-
fore, after long illness, and Prudence,
the eldest daughter, had taken charge
OF the household. There were five chill

women. they looked forward with
eager curiosity TO the coming Of Pru-
dence, the young mistress of the par
sonage.
Mr.. Starr had arrived Mt Mount Mark
n week ahead Of his family. Prudence
and the other children had spent the
week visiting at the home Of their
aunt, and Prudence had come on n day
in advance OF the others TO wind ev-
erything up" as she had expressed II.

and hurriedly. and Prudence leaped
to her feet. Her fair hair clung about
her face in damp, babyish tendrils, and
her face was flushed and dusty. but
alight with friendly interest. She ran
forward eagerly, thrusting forth a slim
and grimy hand.
"You are Mrs. Adams, aren't you?
am Prudence Starr. 1t is so kind of
you TO come the very first day." she
cried. ut makes me love you right at
the start"
"Ye-yes, / am Mrs. Adams" Mrs.
Adams was embarrassed. She could
not Danish from her mental vision that

rogation was written all over her
ample face. and Prudence promptly
read it and fastened to reply.

EASTERN STAR

To Robert Morris belongs the honor
of being the author of the beautiful and
beneficient "Orier of the Eastern Star. !"
As early as 1850 he began his work on
the plans for a society. the object of
which would be, to introduce the female
relatives of Masons into closer rels-
tionship with the principles of Free
Masonry.
This was new and radical departure
from the time worn theory that the
sphere of woman is not in the lodge
room. The founder of this order receiv-
ed not only redicule. but harsh criticism.
going 90 far Is to imperil his Msson's
career. The first Grand Chapter was
organized in December 1868, and in the
next eight years over 600 chapters were
organized in thirty -four states. Today
there are chapters scattered oil over
the civilized world. The membership of
the order now numbers 7OO, 900, which
= divided among $500 chapters.

Of Robert Morris.
On December IL, 1907. in accordance

with view to securing chapter of the
