The Braulcboro Academy and Leland a
Gray seminary cevCns played two fifteen min.
nte halyc', in the rain ami mud at Townshend
last saturday, neither side being able to score,
although the Academy boys had the ball the
greatest part of the time and played the fastest
game. The grass was slippery and the ball
was hard to hold, but few lumblcr were made.
The Il. As. surpriIcd their most ardent AL.
mres by putting up fine article OF foot. ball,
it being full of snap AT all stages of the game.
Their line much out weighted. Leland and
Gray and the backs easily gained on every line
play. The game WAS started by Leland 4
Gray with Kickoff, which was carried by
Stockwcll back To her Is ward line. Then Miller
and Babhitt slipped into the line rcncatedlv for
fine ten yard gains, which, with one by Il Clark
brought the bah to within ten yards of Leland
e Gray's goal line. Here the ball was lost on a
bad tumble. Leland II Gray then kicked down
the field TO her 2j.yard line. She then tried
some line plunges which lidn't work, so by
some end play the ball was worked to the centre
of the griiiron. where it was lost to the academy
by a bad tumble. Babhitt and CLARK were then
sent at the line and added short gains, until
Miller sent at right end where he was stop
ped by fine tackle by Carl Allen. The ball
was on Leland X Grav's 3jyard line when the
first half was up.
Rabbit started the second malt by Kick to
l. X G's 40yard line. Here after some line
play, Ford was sent at right end, where he
slipped b" the line in tine style and was headed
for the Acadcmy's goal, when he was ceycrly
tackled by Babbitt after Il run of forty yards
which put the ball az the centre of The Held,
u here l. 4 G. soon lost the bal on downs.
Then ri CLARK was sent at the line, which
opened SO finely that he was able to make ~
yards. Bahhitt then made a iinc hole for 40
yards which was one OF the prettiest dashcs of
the game. After some unsuccessful line plays
Miller slipped the gang and was found forty
yards away, ON l. 4 Us tcn-vard line. After
some scrimagcs the time was called with Meth
er side being able to score. The features were
for Leland Gray, Forts and Boutclle's
fine game. Carl Allen and Ford'S tackling.
Clark Miller, and Rabbit made most of the
Academy play, while Fisher never made 4 slip
in passing and also got into the interference
in fine form. These two teams VIII play game
at the Howard iClC. West Brattchoro. Satur-
day. october ~. and As the teams are wei!
matched line game may be expected.

Another of Brattlcboro's old time
business men and citizen deserycdly
held in the highest respect during his
residence among us for generation
past passed away Friday night in
David A. Abbott who died at the
Hotel Nina in Mortified where he had
been stopping for several weeks in
hopes of improvement to his health.
1t was consumption that carried him
off and he had been i'll with il for two
years, though able to be about his
home most of the time and on the
street occasionally during the interval.
Il Mr.. Abbott was a native of Glare
mont, \. H.. where he was born in
1928, so that at the time of his death
he was 81 years old. He learned the
trade in his youth and
continued at it until his removal to
Putney where he carried on a tailoring
business. He came to Brattleboro in
1867 and engaged with his brother
John Abbott in the manufacture of
small SO sewing machines which was
quite business here for several years
and in which many leading men were
engaged. and later with Dea. {. +.
and s. l.. Morris. He re
tired from this business having ac
quired a comfortable competence and
was associated in business
with his son-in-!aW in Herrick II
Wyman's block but for some 20 years
past he has been enjoying life of
leisure. He was an enthusiastic lover
of music and himself fine player on
both the cello and violin, and for
many years was a member of the Phil
harmonic orchestra. Personally he was
a man Of most attractive character,
high in his ideals Of life ana duty,
strictly honorable iii all life relations,
kindly. courteous and candid, with
those instincts and habits that consti
tute the real gentleman. None knew
Inn but to esteem and respect He
is survived by widow and one daugh
ter. the wife of Geo. \. Eels.
The funeral was held Monday after
loon from the Baptist church, Beau
'eant Commandery conducting and
he interment was in the family lot at
Putney.

Wednesda. evening. a good sized
audience being present. The speaker
was introduced 10y Prin. Beverage
and took for his general topic The
work which is being done 10y our
schools in the state Under this head
he spoke of the advance in reading the
idea being that the pupil should get
the thought of what he is reading
rather than repeat the words. He also
spoke Of the improvements being made
in the school houses throughout the
state and the results achieved by the
town system and free text books. The
fact that the parents of the pupil
should cooperate with the teachers
was also dwelt upon and he spoke TO
the pupils as TO the manner in which
they should pursue their studies.
Yesterday morning he addressed the
pupils of the High school along this
same line. holding up the ideal. hon
sst, conscientious pupil, who does self
work instead of leaning ON the help
gained from others.

Lincoln and the mighwAyman.

The following is n story of Abraham
Lincoln which, if it is not true-as it
probably is not-is at least entitled to a
place i'll legendary literature: Lincoln
was once riding along lonely road
when an i'll looking man, who held a
cooked revolver, suddenly faced him.
What do you want, my friend?"
Lincoln asked.
Il ann going to shoot you, answered
the man.
well, " said Lincoln, 81 don't mind
being killed, but should like TO know
your reasons .
II once vowed " said the man, THAT
if ever met a man homelier than / am
| would shoot him
Lincoln looked critically at his assail-
ant for minute, and then said:

are, then for PHYS sake shoot! ~

The following anccdote Of n tame
monkey, TO whom was given a corked
bottle with lump of sugar inside, in
dicates that the animal, though unable
to invent, could initiate. A phrenologist
would say that the monkey had per
ccption, but not "causality." How 10
get 1T the sugar was Il problem that bade
fair to drive him crazy.
Sometimes in am impulse Of disgust
he would throw the bottle ont Of his
reach and then be distracted until il
was given back 70 him. AT other times
he would sit with countenance Of in.
tense detection, contemplating the bot.
tied sugar, and then, as if pulling him
self together for another effort at solu-
tiUn, would sternly take mp the problem
afresh and gaze into the bottle
He would tilt it one way and try 20
drink the sugar ont Of the neck, and
then suddenly reversing it, try to catch
it as il fell ont at the bottom.
Under the impression that he could
capture the sugar by surprise, he kept
rasping his teeth against the glass in fu-
tile bites, and warming to the pursuit Of
the revolving lump used to tie himself
into regular knots round the bottle.
Fits of the most ludicrous melancholy
would alternate with spasms Of delight
as u new idea seemed to suggest itself
followed by a fresh series Of expert
ments.
Nothing availed. however, until one
day light was shed upon the problem
by a jar containing bananas falling from
the table with a crash and the fruit roll.
ing about in all directions. His monkey
ship contemplated the catastrophe and
reasoned upon IT,
Lifting the bottle high in his paws, he
brought it down upon the floor with .
tremendous noise. smashing the glass
into fragments, after which he calmly
transferred the sugar TO his mouth and
munched it with much satisfaction. -

A HISTORICAL MYTH.
The Story of General JacksOn's Cotton Bale
BreastworISs A Pleasing Fiction

The Story of General JacksOn's Cotton Bale
BreastworIGs A Pleasing Fiction
There are few of the schoolboys Of
several generations preceding the pres
ent who do not remember being taught
that General jackson won the battle Of
New Orleans by throwing up breast
work of cotton bales and meeting the
British assault behind them.
A dramatic account of this was in all
the school histories and several others,
and the novelty of the affair appealed
vividly to the imagination. The cold
facts of later history prove this all TO
have been fiction. Henry Adams, III his
history of Madison administration, de-
scribcs the battle of New Orleans and
mentions no such feature. McMaster,
III his latest volume, refers to the story
in note only to say that there were two
or three cotton bales used in one place,
and they We're either set on fire OF
knocked out at once
Jackson's line of breastworks was of
earth irregularly thrown up and Of vary
ing height along its length. The trained
sharpsh0oters of the west did great work
as marksmen behind it and so CALLED
the heavily laden British troops that they
had no alternative but to be shot or re-
treat before the American line.
The schoolbook story used to be that
the Americans lost six killed and seven
wounded McMaster places the figures
of killed and wounded at 20. The Brit
ish, il seems, We're not all repulsed nc
cording to the popular story. The right
line Of the American troops was drive

New Orleans
He was really fianlled by this success,
but the terrific slaughter lie inflicted up
on the British i'll the center, involving
the death Of the first and second generals
i'll command completely dispirited them
and induced the return of that wing of
their army that was ON the way to the
city.-Boston Herald
