North Platte people, from reports
received, woro led to bellovo that
Grand Island had a fast ball team,
but these reports wore greatly exag

team played In this city Sunday after

the weakest teams of Lincoln county
villages, and the game afforded' but
Ulttle Interest to the flpectatdrs. 'North ,
Platte won by a score of fourteen to
three, nnd the locals might have
doubled the score with a little more'

ADMIRATION NOT CALLED FOR
Aviator Vould Very Wllllnoly Have
Forejjone Gushino Tribute Paid
Him by Fair Admirer.
The hardest part of flying Is land
ing, and It Is In landing that most
would-be aviators come to grief. An
experienced pilot who makes a had
landing and goes bouncing across a
field Is disgraced and usually feels the
humiliation to the utmost.
Early In the war a "Indies' day" was
held at an airdrome In England.
Among the guests who thronged the
field were mnny Indies In gala attire.
Lato In the afternoon n pilot who wns
a captain gave nn exhibition perform
ance. He left the ground in perfect
style, did a succession of vertical
turns nnd n few "ucrobntlcs," then
shut off his motor to land and receive
the applause that he knew. was await
ing him from the nlr sex.
As the machine neared the ground
the captain misjudged his distance,
with the result that he hit the ground
hard, made a scries of high jumps all
the way ncross the field, and enme at
last to rest Just In time to nvold crash
ing Into n fence. He turned his ma
chine, "taxied" to the hangnr and some
what sheepishly rejoined the guer.ts.
Ills fellow pilots were having a hard
time to restrain themselves from
laughter, and Just as it appeared that
they had succeeded n very fat, gush
ing sort of woman approached the cap
tain nnd suld In accents loud and
clear:
"My dear captain, on behalf of the
ladles presehtf I wish to thank ym for
the wonderful exhibition of flyfng you
have given us. It wns truly marvel
ous. It was - positively a beautiful
thing to see; and that landing of yours
It wns superb I Just like a dear lfttle
bird hop, hop, hop, hop I" Youth's

About the Weather.
In Fairfax county, near the old homo
of George Washington, a woodcutter
without friends died the other day. At
the funeral services there wns no one
to mnke an address. Volunteers were
asked for, nnd when, after n few min
utes, no one responded, a newcomer,
who hnlled from the Pacific coast, rose
and said:
"Well, If nobody else has anything
to say, 1'd 'llke to drop a few remnrks
on the remhrknble health-giving prop
erties of California weather."
Not a Handicap.
The Americans were not handi
capped on the western front by their
slight knowledge of the French Inn
gunge. As a mntter of fnct It wns defi
nitely proved to the Germnn discom
fort that the Americnn soldiers could
shoot In any old language. London
