| Play ball!
The fans are getting ready for big
bush league doings. Well say they
are. They are organizing baseball
corporation in Union City with
$4,000 capital stock and they have
$4,000 already pledged.
Capitalist Hugh Smith and King
Richard Rust head the list with FIVE
hundred each, and Ward Boss For
eoter is keeping the streets hot with
press agents, and you might as well
throw up your hands when they
make the attack.
1t is going to be baseball for I'm
ion City, and no sidekicks on the
team. There will be thirteen strong
men employed with speaking ac-
quaintance with the diamond. They
will be bound with bands of steel to
play square ball. First there will
be a park provided and gradstand
with bleachers and all the ball trim
mings to go with them.
Postmaster and Ump Bill Lancer
is going to see that the thing goes
over straight. He knows. Anybody
who knows politics knows the game,
and he can smell rotten piker any
where.
So you see what the lineup for
management is going to be. These
are sure things and you can spread
your wings for "a sail to the ball
park real soon.
Don't embarrass these men by
the stock. They are
very modest and it might give them
a jolt. But they are iron men, all
wool and yard wide, and it is a
sure thing.

again with the same question, and
the minister countered by asking il
he would rather dance than to have
the joy of meeting his mother in
heaven. This settled the question
and the young man became 2 chris
tian.
Another was selling Intoxicating
liquors at small salary and he
chose this life rather than to be a
christian and serve God. He made
the cowardly mistake that PLATE
did. He lost heaven and everlasting
peace for mess of pottage.
The spirit of education, as implied
by the speaker, is to make ourselves
useful that we may serve God with
all the heart and mind; it is that we
prepare our minds and bodies liv-
ing sacrifice holy and acceptable un-
to God.
The minister closed with the re-
vealed truth of God in all the bound

the creation of man and his work

TUESDAY NIGHT.

in the world as a witness OF the liV-
ing truth.
TUESDAY NIGHT.
A delightful little operetta, Gin
derella in Flowerland," was the first
part of the program for Tuesday
night. 1t was by the fourth, fifth
and sixth grades, and there were
some characters in the cast almost
as fine as grown-ups and equally as
interesting. Two or three gallant
young knights and the many beauti-
full little ladies made this an excep-
tionally enjoyable affair. 1t would
be an objectionable omission not to
mention the Cinderella of little
Louise Posey. 1t looked like old
times with Alice Nielsen leading a
metropolitan cast in one of the pop
ular musical comedies. The little
girls singing was genuine sur
prise, especially to those who had
never heard her. She bowed and
disported herself with apparently all
the sang-froid of genuine artist and
the big-little voice filled the hall
with a real charm.
The leading male characters in
the operetta were by Tom French
ELAN and Chas. Andrews, who sus-
tanned their roles with poise and
credit. The entire cast was drilled
by the teacher, Miss Allen.
Other very charming numbers were
by the pupils as follows: Miss Nancy
Temple, monologue on Twinkle,
Twinkle, Little STAR" introducing
various limitations. This was
fine. A beautiful song by little Miss
Martha Niles was rendered very
'weetly after the curtain.
A recitation by little Miss Sara
Chapel was also one of the interest
ng numbers.
Superintendent Ranck presented
