Dartmouth had the kickoff, send
ing it well towards Woodstock's goal
and soon recovered it on four downs.
They rushed it steadily towards the
goal, Woodstock appearing some
what dazed and rot getting together.
But, within few yards of the goal,
Woodstock seemed to get into the
game and after spelling a couple OF
good end plays held the NEEDLES for
four downs. Smith sent the ball far
down the field by beautiful punt.
The ball passed from one side to the
other, neither making much gain
Dartmouth back getting around
the end once in manner to make
the spectators shiver, but he was
suppressed without much damage.
Mass made good gain on an end
play, but lost the ball by a careless
decision of the referee The half
ended with the ball in Woodstock's
territory.
The second half was much like
the frs, the plays being mainly di-
rected to the centre and guards.
Woodstock's goal was once in dan
ger, but the line held and Smith
again made fine punt.
The game throughout was hard
and fast, Woodstock making It's
gains by sheer muscle on the part of
the line and desperate bucking BY
the backs
No one was seriously injured, but
one Dartmouth player was carried
from the field as the result of the
opening of an old injury.

The High School leather-kickers
lined up against Lebanon for the
second time last Saturday, the game
being played on the home field. 1t
was IL holly contested game and the
result was Il tie, neither side scoring.
The game was called at $3.50.
Lebanon had the kickoff and Pecor
brought the ball mp the field a little
way. 1t was then forced up to Lob
anon's 1o-yard line, where it was
lost, but Lebanon was unable to adj
vance the ball. For the rest of the
half the ball was in Lebanon's terri
tory. Score, O toe
Lebanon came within an inch of
scoring in the second half and the
High Schools goal was in danger
most of the time. The ball was
once within yard of the goal, but
Capt. Chambers appeals to his men

was secured on three downs and
Pecor made fine punt against the
wind, sending the ball away from
the goal. Score, too.
For the visitors G. Buck and
Keddie played fine game, Buck
making some good runs around the
end.
For the home team Pecor and
Gob,e played hard and steady
game, and in the line Sampson,
Woods, Balch and Pember played
very snappy, but no fault can be
found with any of the men.

| The large apple crop this season is
giving employment to great many
idle men in the country, notes the
American Cultivator. 1t always makes
good times in fruit-growing region
when the apple crop is good ono.
As an old farmer who had made most
of his money by growing grain once
said: "When get good apple cror
and sell it the money it brings always
seems as if ] had been made present
of it." This is hardly SO now, for be.
sides the cost of gathering the fruit
and marketing it, there ere few places
where fine apples can now be grown
without spraying to destroy insects
and fungus diseases on leaf and fruit.
But even with this extra expense the
apple crop costs less to produce it
than any other, and the profit On it
in year when the crop is good is
greater than on any other crop,
There will be good many farm mort
cages reduced this year. from apples,
besides which the apple money will
generally pay the store and black
smiths bills and the hired help. II
farmers more generally used their
apple-made profits 10 grow more
apples, they would make money faster
than they usually do. It is good
rule to put money III the business
that makes most money for you.

not sell at any price. He took out
several thousand dollars that month,
and now-well, now every one knows
that the Independence mine is worth
millions"
AS I have said, Stratton offered to
sell out number of times during the
earlier days OF the Independence, but
at this time there were none who had
enough faith to buy. Now it is said
that he is making such improvements
that he will in time be able to take o
million dollars worth of gold out of
the mine in single day, and that one
OF his boasts is that he will soon ship
a carload of ore which will be worth
al least 500. 600. He has already
shipped $50.000 worth of ore In q
day, and he is doing all he can to
keep from allowing the mine to pay
more than $12O, 900 month:
The Portland mine was once offered
to New York parties for $500, 900. But
the experts who were sent there re.
ported that there was only S37, 900
worth Of ore in sight, and the New
Workers refused the offer. The next
month the owners Of the Portland
took out $40, 900, and since then it has
produced more than $2,OO0,0O0. It
now pays 100000 o month in divi-

periments in that line have long been
conducted under the auspices Of the
French Army, and with such success
that an airship OF this class can be
made to travel at rate Of fifteen or
twenty miles an hour for short time.
A new use Of the balloon Is now sug-
Rested in tho country where it had its
origin and hos reached its greatest
development. II. Pesce thinks that it
might be employed for horbor defence
in cooperation with submarine boat.
The latter could tow the balloon about
easily, he thinks, if no attempts were
made to secure speed, and, conse.
Guently, there would be no necessity
for equipping the airship with pro-
pelling machinery or with rudder.
Moreover, the occupants Of the two
vessels could be placed in telephone
communication with each other. The
Frenchman proposes to use the bal
loon as an observatory. whence the
position and strength of the enemy
could be more readily perceived (he
imagines) than from the coming tower
of o submarine boat, ard he would
have the operations of the other twin
directed from his aerial post. Only
enough men to manage the boat and
its torpedoes would be put inside Of
the submerged craft. If the balloon
kept OF sufficient elevation to pre-
vent its being hit by any of the guns
of the enemy's feet, aud did not come
within range of the marines rifles, it
might prove q useful adjunct of its
marine consort in offensive as we'll as
defensive warfare.

One of the greatest works accom-
piished by the late Gail Hamilton was
thst of beginning the present era of
child literature. Until she started the
magazine called Our Young Folks,
children had nothing to read that rep
resented their own day and genera
tion. The magazines Of that day con-
tanned nothing interesting to the
small boy or girl, and their reading
world was confined to books like
Mother Goose and the Arabisn Nights.
