A youth entered a Rockland store
and sought the proprietor. "T'n bet
you" he said, that l can stand on
two corners of a handkerchief, and
while you stand upon the other two
you cannot hit me-"
This was new one and looked in
teresting to the genial proprietor,
who is always ripe for new stunts,
to add to his category of practical
jokes.
IT'S a bet of So" The transact
ion was duly recorded by the head
clerk and a neighbor from the cor
ner.
Then the youth proceeded. Taking
his handkerchief he spread it on the
threshold, and closing the door took
his stand on the two corners outside,
while he ordered the proprietor to
take his position on the corners on
the interior. AS the Myrtle street
Roy grinned at the proprietor thru
the glass the latter blushed at his
gullibility. But he was game sport
and was out to win.
Bring me the AK" he ordered and
holding his position on the handker-
chief he smashed the panel of the
door with lusty blows Then reachad
through the opening he exercised
himself to touch the lad outside. The
boy outside squirmed and twisted,
bowed his legs and bent his back
but the storekeeper insisted and won
the bet. what matter If a new
door. cost money? When a mans
reputation is at stake, never LET
trivial details enter into a bargain"

ROTTENEST BALL
TEAM IN WORLD
Played New Hampton Sunday, Aug.
30 and Lost 40 to 1.

A game Of ball was played at New
Hampton on Aug. 20, and New
Hampton run in 40 scores. 1t does
mt seem possible. but the following
from the New Hampton Gazette is
worth reading:
"A team calling themselves the
Des Moines Moose, inflicted their
presence on New Hampton Sunday.
They were the worst that could be
imagined. A man could blindfold
himself and go on the streets of our
city and touch nine men at random
and pick better ball club than the
Des Moines Moose.
The score was 40 to in favor Of
New Hampton, and the one was
made for them by our pitcher,
"Mackie" Long. Along toward the
last of the game the visiting left
fielder became exhausted from run
ming after balls hit to his field, so
"Mackie" was loaned to them. He
got hit and our fellows let him go
on around.
The worst Of it was the Des Moines
outfit didn't seem to be ashamed
just stood around and looked dumb.
The awfulness of it may be i'm
agined when it is stated that New
Hampton made eleven hits and
twelve runs in the sixth inning. That
will serve as a sample of the game
Capt. Jake" Kline provided some
comedy when he went in to pitch in
the sixth, relieving Joe Campbell.
Up to that time only one man reach
ed first and that was by a walk.
After Kline got through on the
rubber Johnny Cavanaugh went in
and pitched a while.
Such game of ball transcends the
power of any sports writer to de-
scribe. The best thing to do is to
forget it,"

morning on their way to Meeker where
they participated in the big celebra,
tion pulled off by the White River
three lnkers assisted in initiating Il
class of fifty or sixty candidates, and
then dong ample justice to the fish
fry served by the Isaac Waltons OF
our neighbOring burg.
They called the Post editor out of
bed and asked him to pass the straw
berries, but were told to call again at
twelve clock when dishes filled with
luscious berries and cream would be
ready for them. They failed to keep
the engagement, and were the losers
thereby.
IS they passed through here SUNDAY
afternoon ca the way to their homes
IN Denver 1t was the pleasure of the
editor to meet them and enjoy ii brief
visit with these splendid fellows with
whom he has associated in grand lodge
sessions and other fratcrnal gatherings
for almos: q quarter of a century.
1t is 100 bad that the lodge doings
at Meeker were not held day sooner
so that The Meokeritcs and many Rife

az well as these jolly Denvcritcs might
have attended our annual STRAWBERRY

events always bring with them.
