An incident of the visit, whfih c-curred while the Friday evenings games were in progress, foroibly illustrated the wide divergence le-tweei the reputation among outsiders of the Carthage and Webb Fity players. During an interval between the halves of the boys' game an interview was sought by a representative of the Carthage teams with Manager MCotmuk for the purpose of arranging games between Carthage and Springfield. Th response was a very emphatic rufusal.

"We have no open dates," said Mr. McFormkk, "but if we had I would not under existing circumstances play our boys or girls against Carthage. There was a time not so very long ago when Carthage had a reputation for clean athletics, but that is not the case now and for that reason I would not care to enter Into any negotiations with the basket ball teams of that city."

W. Crank Drug Co. PYRETA. The MethodGt festival was the leading event of the holiday season in Cosgrove. This was generally conceded.

This year, however, the Baptists were exulting over the fact that their entertainment was occasioning more talk than all of the others combined. Miss Pyreta Morgan had been made the stellar attraction and for two reasons Miss Morgan of Interest to Co-groveite. In the first place it was whispered that she had recited in some of the best New York drawing rooms, and nwrf loudly It was declared tht she had succeeded in replacing Minerva Gaunt in the affections of Howard Hoskins. Minerva was generally called upon to route at all entertainments not strictly sectarian, and was the shining fight of the Baptists specials. She was to recite "Horattu at the Bridge," gne-ally conceded to be her best piece." and the dual rivalry was the subject of first importance in the postoffice lobby anl around the stove at Fort's grocery.

Considerable speculation was indulged in as to the nature of Mis Morgans selection. On the copy that had been sent to the Mercury office it simply road; Recitation, selected. Miss Pyretta Morgan of New York Fity. That, as Hiram Douglu pointed out, might mean anything from the Decalogue to the Doxology. Minerva was by far the most interesting.

She and Harold hud been recognized i "ts good engaged' for the past thiee veal's. Th'y were fond of eath other, and when Harold was won over by the suiciior attraction of novelty, shf' felt pity for him rather than anger. lyreta Morgan, was not one to mak captivity pleasant. She had decided to ensnare Harold, because he was the bet looking among the nwn mid because he owned the fastest mare in the town-hip. Her physician who rout het to the country had told her to keep in the nlr as much as possible, and eveiy afternoon she and Harold went driving, lie was neglecting hi business, as well as Minerva, and his mad passion for this city girl was be inning more than merely town talk.

By Occident or design Minerva was next on the program after Pyreta, and Mr. Gaunt loudly protested that the position was a most inauspicious one. There was no pineal from the program, however, and the cantata was rut through. The minister made bis address nnd there followed the usual bufihwy of song and pneh y. Finally Pyretu's mim-hr was reached nnd the audbuico thrilled with piensnvnble anlhipuHnu.

Fust came Harold Hoskins In hi be suit and flaming ted ncktie. Faro-fully he placed a chair (It was borrowed from the final photograph'll in the center of the plutfoim. Then came Mrs, Purdy's Japnuew screen, nnd over this was thrown a robe of dark blue velvet. Harrison, the express agent, audibly announced that it had been sent up from New Yotk. Then yum Iyrotaj herself gwkwuiU- was into but UJJilitved by variety ot 'I hole were no g-Hturee suv Wave of tile hand, nothin i fiom the monotony of Hi-r twleuioii was from the "ldis ot the King," the stoiy of Lancelot and Gu.neveu?.

FongrovF people were not Uf-d to blank Vets, and ih only Im pioMiuii made by the inns wag to th-effut that Miss Morgan had lx fn 11 mivirod to select for a i turn affair Go re.iial of ilii it love, no Jnatier platonic that lov might be. Fohgrove people did not split habs in love sffulis. Kuher love wus honest it was not. Decidedly Kiumelot was a person of no inoials, nor was ins queen an honest woman, The amusement caused by Tyieu wen idea of redling gave way to in digi uion, Bcfoie the long poem had been finished tliere were angry mui mur from uli over the hall. Hie left the platform in Silence, N'ot even Harold applauded.

Then came Minerva in a cheap whi-dioss, For here there was no one to lead her on the stage, for no artistic color themes or Urapeim. Hhe would never huv made a fi-ty entertainer. But when she struk into the well known lines; "To Borne a out came fling. the budieme sut up. Plie had a ftesh, dear vone, untrained but certain, and fi-e fiom affectation.

There was the ring of genuine enUiUFlionn and she Prod hr audience. The applause whuh greeted htr effort was enough for Pyreta. She hud been snubbed by all those whom she had encountered siiuw she left the platform. The hearty outburst of entnu'd-asm for her rival was the crowning Mow', Phe turned to Harold. "Take me home, please, Mr.

Hopkins, he mod wearily. My efforts have tired me. They left the hall with Minerva's ringing voice shouting orders to the Light Brigade." snd the memory of that voice lingered in Harold tars nil through the trip home. Pyreta was sullen and would not speak und he was glad enough when they reached her aunt and ehe ask'd to be excused froirf inviting him in on the plea of a headmhe. An hour later Minerva, coming home on foot was surprme do see a familiar cutter in front of her gate, while Harold was strolling up apd down the snow-covered walk.

He turned as they came up- I want to seg.Miiierva: Lem." he said to her escort. Do you mind if 1 cut in?" Dm did not mind. He hurried avav while Harold followed Minerva into the familiar sitting room-Minnie," he said using the old diminutive. "I've been an awful fool. 1 guess.

Somehow I thought I liked Pyreta Morgan and yet all the time 1 knew I loved you. "Funny way you took to show It. commented Mis Gaunt. She was sorry for Harold, but she would not give In too quickly. "You know I've always loved you." he pleaded, "we've been as good as engaged a long time now.

Cant you forgive me, dear? "I don't think it nice to go back on Pyreta Just because she wasn't a success tonight," said Miss Gaunt unkindly. "Im not that ort," he protested, warmly. "It was before she recited that I got tired. Bhe was so finical about the way things were to be put and then when she made me lead her on and 1 knew It was Just because she wanted to show me off and hurt your feelings, why wont you give me another trial, Mm?" "Well," said that young woman. If you dont think youll do it again we ll be friends again, and you can ask me to marry you next Christmas eve." Then she put up her fate to be kissed nor was she disappointed.
