Nector of victory has not been tusted by the team this I- year, and their throats and lips H are parched for tho lack there of. If hard work, careful atten tion to instruction will brine: ! victory to the club with the con- J eluding game, then victory will 4 bo La Grande's.

A. won I the club's opening basketball game of I the year against the married men of tho same institution. Youth wouldn't be denied victory. Senility died hard and with copious groans, but strug gling gallantly, though ineffectively, l.ntil the whistle. The M. I. A. Amusement hall was used for the game and the audience lined the walls during the ferocious play. The unmarried men got a lead onrly and during the first half got a substantial lead which the old-timers tried vainly to cut down enough to win. They did whittle off some of the lead in the last period, the final score being 28-26. The married men s de partment included some of the fel lows who not so very long ago were rated as the M. I. A.'s best bets, but collectively they didn't accomplish do much last night as they once could. The first half was a phalanx attacK end defense but later both teams opened up and sped up until it became a very interesting and rather scien tific game for so early in the season. As the momentum accelerated, inter est grew and when the final whistle blew the atmosphere wus blue with enthusiasm. The score: Married M. I. A.

ESCAPE FROM A CRUEL FATE. How Luck 8avd a Fins Fat Gobblei From the Oven on Thanksgiving Day A Hungry Time In tho Wood Thlngi of Interest to Children. Thanksgiving was at band, and, ol course. Little Ned and Polly Ann wert very much Interested In It. I think aid Uncle Ben, I will have to tell you about A TURKEY'S THANK8QIVINQ. Gobble Gobble wns a bis fat turkey He lived on a farm where there were lots of chickens and ducks and geese. They had a good time, for Farmei Bluka, who owned the farm, gave them lots to eat and took good care of them Gobble Gobble was fond of eating, and he was one of the fattest turkeys of the flock. "He'll be line roasted," said Farmei Kinks to his wife. "I think we'll keep him for Thanksgiving." The day before Thanksgiving there was a good deal going on In tho house. Every one seemed busy and gay. When the farmer sent bis son Jim my ont to feed the poultry Gobble Goliblo asked him what was going on. Rut as Gobble Gobble used turkey talk lu speaking to Jimmy of course the lit tlo boy didn't understand. When Jimmy went whistling Into tho house he forgot to close the gate after him, and Gobble Gobble darted out. "If Thanksgiving means having a good time I'm Rolng off to have a good time myself," Gobble Gobble said, as he trotted off in the direction of the woods. "Guess I'll go off and be a wild turkey, as Grandfather Turkey Trotter sold our folks all were in the long ago." So he went through the woods look ing for wild turkeys to live with, but there were nono there or, of course, folks would have gone out to the woods and trot one whenever they wanted n turkey dinner. Toor Gobble Gobble couldn't find much to eat for supper. He slept In a tree, just ns Grandfather Turkey Trot tor said their folks had (lone In the long ago, but It wasn't so comfortablo as he had expected. Gobblo Gobble had a crick In his neck when he got up, and breakfast was most as scarce as supper had been. He wandered about in the woods for a day or two before Farmer Blnks' son found him. Thanksgiving was over, "lie would have been so much ten deier thou old Turkey Trotter," Blghed Jimmy's mother. "We'll have to keep Gobble Gobble for Christmas." t Fun on Roller Skateo.
