VisiUmi Take vSlow But Inter
esting Game From Locals
The game Wedncsdav between I.a
HUMP and dlllgfltOf legal somewhat of a
d> .appointment 10 the local fgntl us
Ihcy had hoped that the new team
would he fthle to lake revenge on the
Lfl.mar team for the had defeat they
suffered at their hand some time
ago.^
A good crowd was out to sec the
game, hut It lacked the usual pep and
th?> pla.vns let their pep die down too,
so the game drifted along for the first
let innings with nothing especially
thrilling. In the lifth inning, with a
i unncr on second. Hatchclor threw
wild to tust. Harnes ^??t the hall and
threw th?" in in out at home, hut Murin;
in an effort to catch the man going to
second, threw the hall Into center field
and the runner scored from second. In
the last half of the fifth, though, it
looked as though the tide had turned
when Humter got three .men on 00000
and none out. Perritt succeeded in
striking two men arid Burns const up
and laid down a pretty single Which
netted a run. Th* next man fanned
and the flooring was over for that in?
ning. In the sixth. Swan for Darling'
ion singled and was followed by Per
ritt. who brought him in with a three
Mgjger. Wo further aooroi w'ere made
and the game ended. 2 to 1. Both
Barnes and Perritt pitched pretty
gggagg hut the rest of the team for
some reason could not get their pep
up nml get enough drive into then
playing.
letter from Mr. Bothea
A while ugo 1 hOOgat a preacher af
tlnn thai peoph could serve th*- devil
so faithfully that finally they come
to look like him and 1 half bolicvo it.
Years ago I took occasion to remark
ahoill |aOla] expressions. Some exprej
iu s *c art born with buMh'Te a'*'
Others 'hid ?irr acquired. All children
have Innocegioe in their eyes and can
stare you steadily in the face hut Komc
roWn ups have un unsteady, stealthy
gase, the look of the sneaking log.
Others a Itsrce. high, self-Important
browbeating nt ire and others an hon?
est -open whole hearted look, full of
the miik of human kindness and good
cheer.
There afe various expressions of the
mouth, the most contemptible of
which are the sag down at tire corners
as though a bad dose hud just been
taken. And the turned up at the cor?
ners, as though about to disgorge. Ev?
eryone can abide the mouth like a
poor man's wages from "year to year,"
because it never snaps and bites, but
if nece?j-?ary swallows you whole, the
almost Infallible index of the wit.
Another mouth we love, 'tis, a
dangerous one particularly if the lips
art a bit thtck, is that whose lips.are
cupfd's bows. Thin lips, nervous ex?
citable temperaments, fevery, pathetic,
eloquent.
The jowl of a monkey indicates fool
bmneas, levity, littleness; the jowl of a
bull dog always Indicates tenacity, es?
pecially when the lips arc compressed
All sorts of pec.de* make up the
world but it would be better off. hap?
pier in every way could we be rid of
some of them.
One is impressed, as he moves
around that men and Women arc
grown up Children. All have their ?Imi?
tations which with the wlwst are ?pule

Come to think of it. the really saivc.
coo), level-headed are vastly in the
minority. We grown ups laugh at the
antieH and pranks of the simple and
of children, but do the same thing* on
a bigejer scale. Tew people/inow they
make the world they live in. ami won?
der why It is so hard ami cruel.
Our actions are boomerangs that al?
ways come back to us. if thrown with
foul intent they hit the thrower foul
who wonder why "I am so unhappv "
I asked a woman for a simple flower,
much as a geuttOV of courtesy as
iOti?erwise but she enarled bark,'do yon
