Fast Game.
In n game replete with thrills and
featured by the big league brand of
hull ylayeti by the Browns, Sherman
downed Fort Smith on the local lot
Wednesday by a score of 5 to (I. For
the Twins, it was a,' caae of tpo much
Hilt and too fine a brand, of defense
by the entire loyal aggregation.
The Twins played an inconsistent
game of good and ■ had hall, mixing
their plays almost incongruously. Be-
tween two votten throws to first base,
Third Ifaseman Karfhagen gave an
exhibition of how difficult chances
near his station are taken in the Mg
leagues, aud thrilled the spectators
with his performance. All told, six
errors were hung up by the visitors,
hut nevertheless some exceptional ball
was played times.
Hitt, the idg fight hander, was never
in any real danger except for one in-
ning. and then A "brilliant stab ■ of

followed by a throw to first, retiring
Williams off the hag. saved the day
for hint. tforey again demonstrated
his usefulness in the ninth, when with
two down Robinson aud Loureey
singled and Karfhagen crashed into
one that looked like u line drive fence
buster that fell prey to Sorey’s glove I
hand.
Ogle's pitching was as inconsistent
as the brand of supinnt tendered him
by his tea inmates. The hauls sewed
up die game in (lie fifth by bunching
three hits, including doubles by Patter-
son and Mackey, and counting four
runs with the assistance of two mis-
eues by the Twins. A single and two
errors netted another marker in the
seventh.
Today's game closes the Twin series
Tulsa comes tomorrow for three
games, followed by Denison on Mon-
day.

Tile following essay, oil “The Mos-
quito” was written by Marjorie Fearls,
of the high sixth grade. David Crock-
ett school, and entered in the recent
essay writing contest conducted among
tile school children of the city by the
Democrat:
, The Mosquito.
There are many different kinds
of mosquito, hut the most dan-
gerous of all is tilt malaria mos-
quito. The only way to tell a ma-
laria mosquito is the way it stands
on the wall; Instead of spreading
its Feet out and lying a little flat
on the wall it humps up mid stands
right, straight out. The female is
tile most dangerous as its pro-
biscus is stronger than the male's
tint tiie male makes the most
noise when it sings; the female
does not sing quite as loud as lie.
The mosquito sucks the blood
from the sick person and soon lie
is as sick as the one the mos-
quito sucked the Wood” from.
The mosquito lays its eggs in
old stagnant water near the sur-
face. They are something the
shape of a cigar.
Most mosquitoes stay in cool,
damp places ail day then they
come out at night and spread the
malaria germ. They live mostly
in old wells, in weeds and always
near water.
Everyone is now trying to get
rid of (lie mosquito, as they know
they are so dangerous. They are
putting oil in all the ditches tiiat
have water in them and all old
ruined wells and old tin cans, as
tiiat is a favorite breeding place of
the mosquito.

HOWTO MASTER THE MA-

The machinery of the body needs to

as the automobile or bicycle. Why
should tin* human neglect ills own ma-
chinery more than that of his horse
or his engine? Yet most people do
neglect themselves." Their tongue has
dark brown color, skin sallow,
breath laid, yet they fall to see that
their machinery needs attention. Ev-
erybody should take a mild laxative at
least once a week. A pleasant way to
dear tiie tongue and the highly colored
water noticed in the morning is to
take a laxative which will cure the
inactive liver and biliousness.
A pleasant vegetable pill is made up
of May-apple, leaves of aloe, an jalap
made into a tiny pellet and Coated
with sugar. First put up by Dr.
Pierce nearly 50 years ago. Druggists
sell these vegetable pellets in vials—
simply ask for Dr, Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets.
If backache, scalding urine or fre-
quent urination bother or distress
you, or if uric acid in the blood lias
caused rheumatism, gout or sciatica,
f you suspect that you have kidney
or Idadder trouble, write Dr. • Pierce,
it Invalids’ Hotel. Buffalo, S. Y’., send
i sample of urine, and describe symp-
toms. A physician and chemist will
*xaminc* it without charge and you
will Ik* under no obligation whatever.

Obtain a 50-cellt box of Anurie

druggist In town. From personal ob-
servation in large hospital practice,
Anurie will give you speedy relief.—
