Waterviile high school foot ball team
claims, and it is believed claims justly,
the honor of being the first team. the
champions, of the Kcnnebec valley.
The average weight of the men is only
1856 pounds, and this fact considered. the
team closed the season of '95 with three
defeats, one tie, four victories, thorough
actual playing and four thorough games
being forfeited
The Waterville high school foot ball
squad began practice on August 26. ten
days before the beginning Of the fall
term, though only about half of the
members of the seasons team were abba
to commence practice till the opening of
the term. The men were coached from
the first by Frank W. Alden, left half

an all rounG thorough player and in

is further proof of his ability and train

to train the new men and substitutes.

The good wife is always good. Moth

cry at the same time, but she never
looks cross or speaks hastily, and she al
ways sees that dinner is ready at the
proper moment. The children may have
mumps, chicken pox and measles, and
the plumbers may have stopped the Gro

man may present their little bills with

all ready in the refrigerator
She never mentions disagreeable bills
to the partner of her soul and never
asks for money, but she is always nicely
dressed in cool, futed muslins, or good,
rich cashmere, or something like that.
No dowdy calico wrappers on her. She
makes everything herself-out of moth

She is charming. All the men envy

so glad to have his ma live with them,

But, most Of all, when he comes home
at o'clock in the morning, walking
very fcebly and with exceedingly weak
knees, she never casts doubt upon his
statement that They've been taking

be the season of the year, and she al
ways pities him for having TO work so
