Back in the days in Cass county
when Charley Graves, now a staid
and dignified attorney, Sam, Jim and
Tom Patterson and other of the real
ball players cf forty years ago were
making the sandlots hum with the
national pastime, and the daj's of the
small rcores was unknown, D. It.
Churchill was one of the players and
an enthusiast. He is now living at
Twin Falls. Idaho, and as the spring
reason came on he had the inspir
ation of the old days and lapsed into
the muse as to the game as it used to
be and this tribute to the old time
baseball game was as follows:

I just got ill and found a seattraignt

The pitcher started to unwind, and 1
didn't have to wait
But just about ;s. minute; then I gave
that scoffing yell.
For when that pitcher pitched that

At all where it was goin' to go I
never saw the like;
And if I had been strikin'. I'll

that can be found in any of the

Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Brant ner, who
have charge of the hotel and who
have made a number of other much
needed improvements in. the hotel to
make it one of the best that can be
found, have turiud their attention to

into one of attractiveness and which
will be appreciated by the patrons of
