Captain Whittemore, OF the Harvard
baseball team, thinks he has struck upon
a novel way to induce more Phillips
Andover boys to attend Harvard. Most
of the graduates Of that school go to Yale,
and most OF Yale's famous athletes came
from Andover. .Whittemore has arranged to
send two old varsity players, who are not
now eligible, as they have played four
consecutive years,to Andover, TO assist in
coaching candidates for the bali nine. 1
sincerely hope that his plan succeeds,
for it may be the means OF equalizing the
annual contests between Yale and Har-
ward. Unless something Of this sort is
done, Yale will continue to win indefi-
nitely and this may tend to break up in
tercollegiate sports.

The trouble with some men amounting
to anything, is that they spend too much
time watching the trains come In. Every
loafer in the country knows the time
tables by heart and seems to spend his
idle time at the depot to see il the trains
come in all right.
Did you ever notice how some men re-
semble some others?
BY the way, colored gentleman ac-
costed me on the street recently. He said
he would like to have enough money to
take him to Worcester. I" How came you
to be broke ?" queried. You know,
Mr.. -, Pse been bittin' the numbers

was not the man he was looking for.
don't know of two men in the city who
look more alike, however, than
friend Slater, of the gas company,
and Morton, the photographer, 81 West
minister street. The latter gentleman has
a wsy of making you look like yourself In
those cabinets he Is having such q run on
for $1.50 dozen.
To those who are employed and busy,
time flies with great rapidity. Life is
tedious only to the idle. Nothing is more
monotonous than the ticking of the clock
to him who has nothing to do but to
listen to 1t.
The following statement is easily veri-
fed and investigationi is solicited. 1t can
be backed up to the letter. Here 1T is:
Wood g. Watson, 80 Westminster street,
have the finest line of hats of foreign and
domestic manufactures, including the
Knox, Of which they are sole agents, that
is In the city. This seems like a pretty
broad statement, but il goes. All the
are included, soft, felt and silk.
The prices are also to be considered, and
an innovation is the 6 per cent. reduction
from the regular price. In other words
you obtain first quality goods and receive
the per cent. discount which spot cash
commands. 1t will be to the interest OF
intending purchasers to inspect the dis
play of hats made by the gentlemen re-
ferred to.
That was distressing as well as hu-
initiating incident on Westminster street
yesterday where the lady, while waiting
for an Elmwood car, was seized with
coug hing fit and nearly lost set OF teeth.
Luckily the horse did not step on them
while passing. The method in vogue at
DIR. Tilling hast's, 200 Westminster street,
precludes the possibility OF the teeth fall
ing out when once they are fitted. The
crowd in his rooms is evidence that a
good many people are aware OF this fact.

1t was source OF qualification to the
baseball enthusiasts around Boston when

No, i don't think that Baltimore

especially in the pitchers box, where it is
most needed. Did we try to win the
pennsnt last season? Well! well! What a
question TO put" Taking puff from his
cigar he turned and vanished from sight.

slightly different. He is much younger

probably do his best, unless by some
