The local high school bass ball team

quite an enviable reputation la the
baa* bail world hereabouts, but bad

of 8 to i in favor of Laurinborg.
The lecture of Hon. U M. Blue at
the Presbyterian church Sunday
morning on the American Bible 80
eiety, was rajbyed and thoroughly ap
preciated by a large congregation.
Mr. Blue is a gifted speaker and is in
love and la thoroughly familiar with
the subject he talked on, which made
his discourse all the more interesting.
‘
One prominent Frenchman named
About succeeded aa a novelist and po
litical writer; bat he Is far outnum
bered by the every-day horde of Inef
ficient "about*," all to evident on the
street* Tha stranger lemma, for ex
ample, after painful inquiry, that hie
destination fa "shout two blocks
away"; at the ball game tha young
man draped over a east replies to him
that It le "shoot tha third inning,"
and the boy with an extinct cigarette
hanging from hla lips yields the in
formation that the score is "shoot
four to throe," “about two” era oat,
and tha batter has "about two” strike*
recorded against bias. This is tha
type that grow up into men who ar
rive at tha daak about on time, at
about » o'clock. They leave, however,
with extreme precision, exactly on tha
point of 6. Slovenliness of thinking,
inaccurate information ami shiftlaas
nean are so near allied that the only
safe way is to strike at thme snakes
of aboatoesa ovary time their beads
appear.
In writing, the fear is so aver pres
ant that soma one will tsh+ state
meats ex mathematically precise that
everything la mentioned with qualifi
cations. ‘‘About a mile wide." how
ever, say* nothing more than "a
mile wide"; and it takas longer, ac
cording to the Invariable rale that
tha lew there la to say the longer It
takes to say it.
Contrast with thin the accuracy of
tha Westerner, fas replying to the
question of a momentary acquaint
ance on the train. "How far la Min
naapolis from St. Pool?"
"Sixteen points behind," earns the
answer in a flash.
One feels that he would have
known also the exact distance in
mlle*^—Columbia State.
In a violent combat which recently
