McCook vs. Arapahoe.

Tho baso ball park contained more lovers of

) f tho compass , from town and country all
Dent on having a good time , whether victory
jorched on tho banner of Arapahoo or Mo-
3ook. The contest commenced promptly at 3
) 'clock , with tho homo team at the bat , and
ho boys scored 3 runs and shut tho visitors
> ut. Tho visitors returned the compliment in
ho next two innings and evened up tho score.
! u the fifth and sixth innings Arapahoo piled
lp eight big runs , and seemed In a fair way to
iomoouton top of the heap. Tho visitors and
heir backers looked blue. Arapahoo stock
lad an upward tendency and offers of two to
mo on tho favorites found no takers. It was
veil that they did not. however , for in tho
eventh and eighth McCook , by a series of
ortunato hits , and reckless playing by the
lomo boys , snatched victory from the jaws of

"If you want to be healthy you must eat
igularly , as meat to-day will not serve you
( -morrow. To be well aud hearty eat at
, 'ery meal time. To be prosperous in busi-
Bss advertise regularly. Stop one and you
arve and die. Stop the other and your busi-
2ss takes consumption and dies also. Spas-
odic advertising is like having a 'feast and
imine' more famine than feast as a general
lie and is never satisfactory. To take out
mr card iu dull times is like killing your
irse because he is a little lame. In dull
mes advertising is the most effective , as
