Base Ball.
Our town was aroused one day from quietude ,
By poster bills in grand array ,
Of some eastern girls , who had formed a club ,
Of base ball , the local clubs to play.
Now this fair club had a name quite up-to-date.
By the big printed words in their "ad"
You'd think they knew all about playing base ball
And their name had proven not bad.
The time rolled around when the game was begun ;
Spectators all straining their eyes ,
To get a good look at a girl on the run
Or see how they managed the "flies. "
With breathless amazement each one viewed the
sight
Of Bloomer Girls all dressed in red ;
Some dark in complexion but most of them light ,
All faun browned , but looking well fed.
The Valentine boys took their "ins" and went out
After making three tallies plain ,
The Bloomers were out in first inning about
Three seconds from time they went in. * *
The game was a graft for the Bloomers , that's all ;
Though they play a good game at ease ,
They're not in our class in playing base ball ,
But play for the cash and to please.
They joshed our dear umpire John Tucker so hard ,
"We fear that he'll not grow no more ,
His smoking and running they joshed and they jarred ,
His joshers were fully a score.
Their sayings were new to our boys of the bat ,
Their joshes and phrases were cute ,
They called them such name's and had it down pat ,
That finally our b03Ts were mute.
They simply play'd ball or saw'd wood if you choose
And beat them nine tallies to four ,
The Bloomer gals do not shed tears when they lose.
But keep right on making their tour.

Arabia Screenings.
Francis Higgin ? s spending the
summer with M. J. Jordan.
Oren Grooms , of Valentine , is
working in the hay field for A. Ben
son.
Carl Keeley has returned from

she had been under medical treat
ment. She looks much improved
and we hope she may soon rejoice
in a complete recovery.
Clinton E. Collett , w : o taught
school here last winter , is working
for M. Jordan this summer. Clinton
is a good boy and deserving of great
success which is sure tn be his if he
continues in the right path.
Abe Bunn , our genial merchant ,
says there is only one thing woise
than stealing sheep and that is
storekeeping. Of course he can't
mean it for he certainly enjoys
great advantages over merchants in
. other towns. .
M. Jordan lost two verj fine cat
tle during one of the past electric
storms. All ranchmen should in
sure their stock as their buildings ,
for even if they have no losses the
premium money is not wasted for
a part of it will go toward paying
the losses of the unfortunate.
The well filled columns of THE
I DEMOCRAT have not contained any
Screenings fur many weeks but we
will now try to fill the long felt
want. As usual the citizens of
Arabia are prospering , but then
what else could they do , enjoying
the present republican prosperity ,
a full dinner pail and an overflow
ing purse ?
MAUDE.
The Eev. Robert E. Lee Craig ,
Episcopal minister of Omaha ,
while in central Nebraska holding
past Lenten services and baptizing
some babies was arrested for shoot
ing 21 meadow larks. He was
fined § 110.00.
He stole a summer song , dear ,
This godly man ot mark ,
He made the spring day silent ,
He killed a meadow lark.
The plow-man in the morn , dear ,
Will miss the dawntippedinjjs ,
That soaring upward taught him ,
To think of nobler things.
And the children off to school , dear ,
Across the fresh turned sod ,
Will seek in vain the songster ,
That kept them close to God.
And all the summer long , dear ,
Each day when it is done ,
We'll wonder who to-inorrow ,
Will welcome up the sun.
For he is dead and cold , dear ,
Our httle meadow lark ,
And he san r a son f of love to
Thatjiodly man of mark.
