Wearequite sure that the y eopl«
oi this town and those that are
interested outside, for the pros
perity of McCarthy, will sincerely
regret and sympathize with Mrs

with an accident in the races on

The accident occurred in the
hundred yard dash, when he trip
ped and fell, and the fellow di

ply the brakes in time stepped
on his leg and broke his ankle.
Mr. Roy Snyder, is not only the
best 2nd. baseman, in the Cop
per River Valley, but we can sa
fely claim in the whole of Alaska
He is quick to see the slightest
opening in the game to the ad
vantage of his side, he is level
headed in the tightest of coi tiers
he knows exactly what to do
with the ball when he gets it, he
is very «p«edy and a darn’d good
batsman.
Every moove that is made by
any of the players, is long ago
thought out before hand in Mr.
Snyders head so when thee! rince
comes he is always there to take
advantage of it.
Good old Roy, he has helped to
win many a game for us through
his wonderfull cooperation, and
knowledge of the game.
With all due regards to him,
and Mrs. Snyder, the whole own
of McCarthy extends,their thanks
to him, and for a speedy return
to health.

TODAY
Today’s the biggest thing thats
Living;
The days gone by no passions
Stir;
It,s to days we should be giving
Gifts of frankincense and myrrh
Yesterday we had to borrow
From the sunshine stored away
It may rain again tomorrow
Or be gray —but say
It’sfine today!

JOHNNY AND THE COMPANY
Company was coming. The atmos
phere of Johnny's home was ten
se: the very shininess of wood
work and furniture, the forbid
ding spick spanness of e\ory
room, even to the nursery, made
the tired eyes of Johnny’s mother
glow with satisfaction and the
to round orbs of Johnny to over
cloud with gloom.
Two busy days of preparation
had brought the heavy droop to
the shoulders of the mother, who
little realized how many ir itable
words had been thoughtlessly,
impatiently directed to the de
fenseless laddie. And now when
all was ready and the guests
were due, the fresh, crisp linens
that gave Johnny such a smartly
starched appearance merely
heightened the uneasiness that
filled the boys heart.
The company arrived and there
was a flood of warm embraces;
the strain, alas! was very hard
on Johnny.
Then the long anticipated visiting
began, and who could wonder
that after being exhibited and
examined like so much jewelry
that Johnny burst forth angryly
like the pent up steam in a boiler
when he was asked the following
questions? Johnny one of them
askel who do you like best?
after thinking a minute,he said
Mother.
Who next? Sister, then auntie
by this time Johnny was fairly
bubbling over with rage, so his
father who just coming in, over
hearing his last answer, asked
him; and when do I come in to
the family? So poor John»y tear
ing himself away from the em
brace of one of the visitors wit
a last desperate effort he yell’
At two o’clock in the morning.
Bruise not the finestsem of tl •
flower, O Mother! lest it lift hs
face less frankly to the light.
