cure good reliable piano that could be
sold at low price. Although buying
for cash. direct from the manufacturers,
and having practically the whole Of
Americas manufacturers to negotiate
with, they found 1t o difficult thing to
do. because first. class goods cannot be
bought at low prices. However, they
have succeeded by making 8 contract

medium grade. in getting such price
as will enable them to sell at about
$780, 90 less than the same instruments

Mars Brownies from the eastern

their defeat to the fact that Cheesbro.

by batted ball by Rollins in the sec.
ond inning, which crippled him 80 that
ne could not pitch effective ball or run
the bases, but he remained in the box
until the visitors had scored eight runs
which won the game easily for them.
In the latter part of the fifth Coons was
substituted in his place, and pitched a
magnificent game; the only man that
reached the first bag was presented with
four bad balls.
Brandt pitched Q COOL hesdy game.
but vas little wild in the latter mart
OF the game. The support given him,
with the exception of q bad throw bv
Hall, was perfect.
Roanoke went to the bat first and
Cockman got his base on balls and
scored on Groves three Dagger In the
second Hill singled, followed by triple,s
oy keefer and Cheesbro, which Melted
two runs.
The locals were goose.euged then
until the sixth. Hill hit safely. Coons
was given base on balls and the former
scored. Cockmsn singled to centre field.
Inc last run was added in the ninth.
Williams went to first on four balls,
Hill hit safely, Keefer flied out to right

TO centre for hit on which williams
scored.
Then Wrigley made two horrible err
rors at critical stages of the game, and
TO him the visitors are largely indebted
for their victory.
Hill, the new centre fielder, PLAYED
his position in an up-to- date style, and
raped out q safe hit every time he
went to the bat except one.
Brandt twirled the horsehide for the
visitors, and with the exception of one
inning his delivery was an enigma to
the locals, who did not succeed In get.
ting many balls out Of the infield.
The visitors were BANKED In the first.
but by punching their hits In the sec

errors, and the fact that Cheesbro was

The state alien Investigating com
mittee, appointed by the last legislature,
is now travelling in various parts of the
state making an investigation of the
charitable institutions, and the results
OF the committees investigations so far
show that almost every one OF them is
overcrowded, so overcrowded that
hundreds OF inmates are obliged to sleep
on the floor. They have discovered
that ut least % per cent. OF the inmates
OF the charitable and penal institutions
are OF foreign birth, and most of them
have not been long in this country. 1t
Is due to this cause that the hospitals,
infirmaries and prisons are inadeq

there is no doubt that legislation will
have to be enacted to meet the needs OF
these places. b. X. Focht, of Union

Boys and girls, although your old
"uncle" is absent from you this week he
has not forgotten you. Tomorrow is
the day set apart by our chief executive
for returning thanks to the bountiful
Giver of all good for the many blessings
accorded us during the past year.
Don't neglect this. boys and girls. You
have hundreds of things to be thankful
for, but prominent among them are the
facts that you have health and strength
and the right use of your reasoning
faculties, that you are favored in having
fine school building and good instruc-
tors, and that you enjoy far superior
educational advantages to any ever be-
fore known in the history of our town.
BE thankful for these many blessings.
Don't think for moment that Thanks
giving Day was set apart and designed
for the sole purpose Of having good
time, eating turkey, cranberry sauce
and pumpkin pie. along with sundry
other lollepops and Syllabus. Don't
get this mistaken idea into your heads.
Enjoy yourselves, but don't forget the
prime object of Thanksgiving. Take
part of your spare time this week and
look up sundry points in your several
studies, so as TO be ready for cxamina-
| tion when it comes. Then will the
Christmas holidays be better enjoyed
by you. Enjoy yourselves hugely this
week and when school re-opens on Mon
day morning next you will be all the
better for your weeks rest and will be
ready to take up your work again and
pursue it with vigcr. Ever seek the
truth, and seeking know to follow it..
| Sydney Smith says: ut is noble to
seek the truth and il is beautiful to find
It. 1t is the ancient feeling Of the hu-
man heart, that knowledge is better
than riches; and it is deeply and sacred
ly true. To mark the course Of human
passions as they have flowed on in the
ages that are past: to see why nations
have risen and why they have fallen; to
speak of heat, light and the winds: to
know what man has discovered in the
heavens above and in the earth beneath;
to hear the chemist unfold the marvel
Gus properties that the Creator has
locked up in speck of earth: to be told
that there are worlds so distant from
our own that the quickness of light,
travelling from the worlds creation,
has never reached us. 1t is worth
while in the days of our youth to strive
hard for this great discipline; to pass
sleepless nights for it; to give up tor it
laborious days: to spurn for it present
pleasures: to endure for IL afflicting
poverty; to wade for it through dark
ness, sorrow and contempt, as the great
spirits of the world have done in all
ages and all times"
