PIPPIN'S TOO
MclVOK CETS AWAY WITH SIXTH
VICTORY.
Famous Smithpaw Lets Boise Down
Willi Scattering .Hits Again.
(L'olse Statesman.)
Cbielly through the efforts of one
Kelly, parading In the box score un
der the misnomer of second baseman,
Boise lost the last game of the series
to Barry's bunch, 4 to 1. Kelly wal
lowed around at second like a derelict
In a storm. He had more boots than
a regiment of cavalry, and his errors
of omission were much worse rhan
those he committed. If he had been
trying to throw the game he coiild
not have done worse.
Except for the odd exhibition given
by Kelly, the game was. the best of
the series. Mays and Mclvor pitched
grand hall. The La Grande routhpaw
allowed but five hits, and three of the
even swats credited to the visitors
are scratches, two of them due to
Kelly's miserable fielding.
Again pausing to except Kelly, the
fielding throughout the contest was
superb. The game was fast and snap
py and until the seventh Inning the
core was close enough to make the
excitement Intense. The gong did not
ring at all until the .sixth, and there
was not a base bit until the third.

Yesterday's; victory makes six for

Trl-8tate league. The ex-Seattleite Is
certainly going some.
The days of army post on' the west
ern frontier, a garrison mImiI up by It
self with no outsider to see or talk
wltb or even hear about, are over.
Then, too. In those days-tbey are not
so fur distant- umiKloimlly Indian

days and nights of agony would pass
In expectation of melr making a break
In tile walls uild iimrderln even mie
Inside the lndosure,. Including women
and children
Vet there was a pleasant side to tbe
life. The garrison shut off from the
world constituted a family consisting
?f two divisions, the one being com

Hetweenjjfflcyrs nncjiiicn was n. dlvid
fug line as to nssoclutlon on familiar
terms, but there was a union of beart
The enlisted men understood that tbl
line bad from time Immemorial been
Considered uecessory to tbe discipline
and efflcleucy of an army.
Years ago there was one of tbes
army posts lu what Is now a sovereign
state in the American Union. One duj
wben a supply truln arrived it brought
something to stir tbe tiresome life o!
the officers' division a young lady. She
came to visit Mrs."? Mo Jor j Bert rand,
wife cj th ctmjmnndautL whose nlec
he was. Her i-omuiglind been talkel
about, btH ber appearnuce was dlsaj
poiuiing. She was not especially pfei
ty. though she possessed a soft dark
eye which was very expressive, thougti
of what no one could exnetly deter
mine.
Within four hours after her arriv
al she bad divided tbe garrison Into
two sections, consisting of those who
lilted and those who distrusted her
However. It was not long before net
friends wore converted to the opposite
side by the fact that she was ernrhl
talking with a private in the ranks
named Conover. A few of those who
had fancied her remonstrated with ber.
telllnn her that perlinps she didn't
know that nssocliitlou with an enlisted
man by the families of the officers was
prohibited. She listened to them le
niurely with those singular eyes of hen1
fixed on them, but said uothlng. Nov
ertheless only a few days bud passed
wben she was ngain seen talking with
the snme man.
Tbe matter now came to the ears cf
Mrs. nertmnd. who gave ber niece
lecture and told her that If she was
spnlnst caught noticing any one of tte
enlisted men as an equal she Bhould
he sent home. Then Evelyn-Evelyn
Pierre was her name nuked with real
or feigned Innocence her aunt could
not tell which w hy she could not treat
one lu the ranks Ji'si us she would
treat an officer Mrs. Cert rand coiilO
ouly say that It wasn't the custom and
has been an unwritten law Iniheurniv
And so Miss Pierce was In disfavor
Those who showed their coudeuiniiliw
most openly were the women of the
garrison Tbe ofticers. whatever the
thought of the young lady's action
though they refrained from showlv!

not long before several of the unuiur-

tor she bad spoken to him but once
and then to warn blra not to trouble

For tonight and Tuesday the Arcade
theatre offers an exceptionally strong

picture in very complete in two reels
and shows us the suffrage movement

The picture ends with the enormous
