OUR BALL TOSSERS AGAIN VICTORIOUS: Great Northern Team From Superi- or Gets an Awful Trounc- ing on Sunday Our ball team will either have to slow up some or prospective op- ponents will have to be told to go and get a reputation before they | are taken on. The two games play- ed on Sunday against the Great Northern team of Superior, proved so easy that taking candy from aj baby would be an exciting experi-| ence in comparison. The first game resulted in a score of 13 to 8 in our favor, and although it was a shame to do it, we simply had to take! the second game also, and did it to the tune of 13 to 3. Lofberg | pitched the’ first session and Bentz was the mound ‘artist in the second, Hicks being the re- ceiver in both games. It was one continued slug fest, with our boys going out apparently because they were tired of running the _ bases. Shook started hurling for the vis- itors, but after allowing six of the unbeaten Itascans to be counted in the second, he was relieved by ‘A FLIGHT FOR LIFE The Story of a Rescue Trip In the Mountzins of Alaska. BRAVE MEN AND SPEEDY DOGS An Act of Heroism That Saved a Wo- man and Her Sick Husband From Death When Stranded on a Winter Night Amid the Snow Clad Peaks. The hardships to which people are exposed in the far north give frequent occasion for the display of heroism. In the pages of “Trailing and Camp- ing In Alaska” Mr. Addison M. Powell tells of the rescue of a woman and her husband who were stranded on the mountains in an Alaskan winter. A dog team ga!lioped up and stopped in front of the only pretense of a hotel in Valdez. The night was dark, as the northern winter nights always are when the moon is not shining. The dogs immediately lag down, almost ex- hausted from their long trip, and the two men were soon surrounded by in- quiring friends. One of the two said: “What do you think. fellows? We passed a women just this side of Saw- mill Camp. She pulling a sled, on which was her sick husband. We re- monstrated against her crossing the glacier, but she replied that they might as well die up there as any- where else, as it meant certain death to stop. Our dogs could pull only our outfit, and there wasn’t grub enough for all, so we were compelled to leave them. They will be at the last timber tonight. and if somebody doesn’t go to their rescue they will be dead by this time tomorrow.” A man stepped out from the crowd At the Gem. The week at the popular motion picture house starts out with Pathe Weekly No. 15, and a Vitagraph Western drama, “When the Desert Was Kind.” The two-reel feature on Wednesday and Thursday will be Vengeance of Durand, or The Two Portraits,” with Rogers Lytton in the lead. On Friday only, the strong Vitagraph play, “Final Jus- tice,” will head the bill, to be fol- lowed by the clever Biograph les- son, “Chance Deception.” Saturday and Sunday, a Vitagraph drama with a lesson, “Under the Makeup,” will be the headliner, to be follow- eded by the Lubin comedy, Aunty’s Affinity.” A special appropriate program has been arranged for Memorial Day. The two-reel Se- lig production, Pauline: Cushman,” | one of the best pictures treating of scenes of the civil war, will be the main attraction, to be followed by the Hughie Mack comedy: “It Made Him Mad.” There will be spe- cial music for this occasion, the High school quartette singing “Boys of the Old Brigade,” and Miss Mc- Busy Bee,” and “Dixie Daisy,” The Gem will be closed during University week in order not to divide at- tention with that event’. The | theatre will reopen again on Sun- day evening, the 15th, with some- | thing particularly good. 2 Che Stitch 2 2 in Time When the pattern on linol eum shows signs of wearin doorways or other much-used parts--give the worn sections a coat of Natural Chi-Namel Varnish and let that take the scuf- fing that would other- wise make an entine new floor covering necessary.

It was 3 o’clock in the morning be- fore they had made their selection of dogs and were ready to start on that aes trip. “We'll be on the first bench by day- light and have them here before mid- night,” said one us he straightened out the team for the sixty mile run. “Yea, boys! Stznd in there, Leader! Mush, mush on, mush!” And with a yelp the dogs galioped away as. if aware of the urgency of their mission. “Haw, Leader!" we heard as they turned the corner. and then they were gone. “There goes’ the best dog team in Alaska and driven by two of the best men on earth!” exclaimed a man as he re-entered the house. The trail was easily followed, and soon the nine miles of level bench were passed. The speed slackened only when they were ascending the ridge, which they crossed by. 11 that morning, and there it was seen that the sharp peaks were curling fine snow high in the air. “They are beginuing to smoke!” ex- claimed one of the men. “Yes; we must get back before night or it’s all off.” replied the other. “Down, down, the steep descent they plunged. and by 1 o’clock they were off the glacier and skipping over level ground. In a short time they discov- erel the unfortunzte couple whom they had started out to rescue, and when they came up to them it was a pitiable scene that presented itself. The poor woman had become com- pletely exhausted and had thrown her- self down beside her helpless husband. ‘She had evidently :bandoned all hope and was weeping bitterly when she suddenly heard the yell of a driver and the barking of dogs. In a mo- ment she passed from despair to hope.

The dogs lay down and with their lolling tongues lapped the snow, while the drivers ate some crackers and jok- ingly encouraged the sick man and the tired woman. They bade her seat her- self comfortably while they fastened the two sleds together. Soon they were bounding away again at the dogs’ first speed? . When they recrossed the summit the whole range was “smoking,” and the wind was sending the fine snow along the crust. It whipped their faces with a warning of what was coming, but the driver said: “Twenty miles to town, and it can never catch us!” In Valdez every one was anxiously watching the trail. Many exclaimed, “They can’t possibly be here before midnight!” but they were. As they rushed up to the crowd with a yell and a chorus of barks from the noble dogs they were met by eager, helping hands. The dogs acted as if they had understood why they were being pet- ted, and again the woman wept for Joy. The Contingent Fee. The following pointed note was writ- ten by Daniel Webster in answer to a request that he take a certain case for a contingent fee: “! do not desire em- ployment in professionai matters, al- though- | do sometimes engage in them.
