The Rlchey Game

Circle beat Richey by one point
Friday night in hard fought and
snappy game. The final score was
23 to a. The game started about
nine o'clock following game be-
tween the two Richey girls teams
which took the place of a girls game
that should have been played be-
tween Richey and Savage.
The score at the end of the first
half was 16 to 16. At the end of
the third quarter the score was 20
to 20. Czoernig's basket in the last
minute of the game won the game
for Circle.
After the game the players were
given a supper at Scott's restaurant
and the visitors were entertained
with dance and lunch at the High
School
The team left Circle about $3.50 p.
M. but did not arrive in Richey till
about 500 o'clock They went with
Messrs. Baldwin, Taylor and Hafdahl.
No serious accident occurred, although
Mr.. Tayior's Ford was little indis-
posed They returned to Circle about
1870 in the morning.

The Terry Game

The Terry Basketball team played
our boys last Saturday night, and
came out at the long end of 30
to 9 score. The game was fast from
start to finish. The Terry boys seem
ed to have it over ons our boys by
their accurate passing and team
work. Due to insufficient practice
our boys were not SO adept in this line
and it was chiefly the cause of our
defeat. The game the night before
seemed to have taken some of the
pep out of the boys too, as they
showed much more pep at the Richey
game. We expect to reverse the
score when we play Terry next seme-
ster After the game the home team
had supper at Payne's restaurant,
the visitors were entertained at the
school house.

Some Things You Can't Buy.

Mr.. D. H. Rathbone, of Fullerton Cal, whose business
Is locating in oil and gas wells has plan for
keeping the President of the United States the job or
his toes as the modern expression has it.
Mr. Rahbone thinks second term necessary because
makes the hard and do his best to please the
people during the first But while he is serving the
second term he has got that incentive says Rathbone
Mr. Rahbone would have the people set aside fund OF
million dollars be voted to each President at the end OF
his second term he has second term voted away from
him. whichever way the people chose, by popular vote
In other words the President would know that the people
LIKED him throughout his second that liking would be
worth million dollars to him in cash. and they DIDN
like him, their dislike would COST him million dollars
Mr. Rahbone points that the million dollars would cost
the people average cent apiece for hundred mil
lion Americans Everybody ought gladly pay cent for
the satisfaction of knowing that President worrying about
public opinion to the extent of million dollars for four years
The people could afford dollar apiece which would be
hundred million dollars to make the President eager and
earnest in the last four years.

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

It is hope which maintains
most of mankind.
Wish rather to be well spoken
of than to be rich.
Science is the great antidote
to the poison OF superstition.
True patriotism is of no party.
In politics experiments often
mean revolutions.
All men who have rambled
after happiness have failed
neither learning. nor fame, nor
wealth, nor pleasure, taken sep
arately or jointly could ever give
It, without acting up to tile
height and dignity of human ma
ture and getting a right set of
principles for thought and prac-
ttce.
1t is dangerous to let man see
his greatness without his mean
ness. 1t is more dangerous yet
to leave him ignorant of either,
but very beneficial that he should
be made sensible OF both.
Comparison, more than reality,
makes men happy, and can make
them miserable.
Every man who rises above the
common level receives two edu-
cations, the first from his in-
structors, the second, the most
personal and important, from
himself.
The true art of being agree.
able is to appear well-pleased
with all the company and rather
to seem well entertained with
them than to bring entertain
n1ent to them.
That which is built upon es-
TEEN can never decay.
Reading is to the mind what
exercise is to the body.
Let any man speak long
enough he will get believers.
To give is easier than to love-
to be praised more sweet than
praising.

Editor. Washington Times:

Editor, Washington Times:
r CANNOT thank you suffi-
GENTLY for the splendid edi-
u torial of Bill Price in your
issue of September s. The recon
struction of Fort Stevens as an
enduring monument to the great
Abraham Lincoln is a national
work Of the highest importance.
Mr.. Price not only shows his
acute comprehension Of the mat
ter but makes a forcible state
ment Of most of its salient points.
The battle at Fort Stevens on
July IL, 1864, was the gravest
crisis of the great war for the
nations existence. 1t was
psychological crisis of the war as
Gettysburg was the physical
crisis.
The general feeling in the coun-
try was represented by the fall of
the greenback to less than 35
cents on the dollar on the day
that the COnfederates appeared in
front of Fort Stevens. This
meant a general opinion that the
chances Of the Government saving
itself were as one in three and
whether the war should be con-
tinued with the appalling sacri-
fices that had been made In the
Wilderness, at Spotsylvania and
elsewhere. The decision was to
carry on"
This is the historical side Of
the matter. The other side is
that nothing can add more to the
attractiveness of the city to all
tourists than the careful mark
ing of all the places connected
with that crisis.
It is contemplated to not only
restore the fort to its wartime
condition but to also mark all
