The Bangor High school team PLAYED a
practice game Wednesday afternoon with
the Maine State College freshmen team,
which included Bird, Gilman and French
of the Varsity team and substitutes
and mem bers Of the second eleven. Nc
score was kept and regular game was
not played, the two teams merely going
through various plays for practice. An
other similar game will be played today
but it will not be the regular freshman
team but picked eleven from Maine
State College.
Cutter, the nervy center, who wrenohed
his ankle in the Bowdoin second eleven
game, made his temperance yesterday
and will probably play in the Portland
game.
The supporters Of the Bangor team feel
anxious about the Portland game as
Bangor has light and weak line, which
Portland will undoubtedly attempt to
plough through and with undoubted
success, rs all the teams thus far played
have had rather easy time getting
through the line. Plays will probably be-
frequently sent against both Bangor
tackles, both guards and the center and
the Bangor line will not he able to stop
them.
Portland will also undoubtedly try
numerous end runs and there also Port
land will undoubtedly gain az the ends
are not up to the standard. Bangor to
gain will have to depend upon huoking
the line, mostly through the center, as
Portland is reported to have strong ends
and tackles. Punting will probably .be
resorted TO frequently, often on the nrst
down, as Bangor expects to run up
against snag i'll the Portland line.
Portland High School in the past few
weeks has been running into its team
several old players who had not been
going to school up to that time and they
secured the services of O'Brien,
the Deering High School guard. This
week George Allen, tackle on the '95
team, has joined the team. They evident
ly mean to do anything to down Bangor.

New Orleans could probably, to use q
slang phrase, give New York "cards and
spades on luxury and have points to
spare at the end of the game. Americans
as whole are luxury loving people, but

than those Of the south. The northern
people spend their savings, and the south
ern people spend their substance. This is

The present king of Greece is George
l., who assembled the throne in 1863.
Ohio l., prince of Bavaria, was elected
king by the Greek assembly May z, 1882.
From his accession to the present
Greece has had but two kings.
The present king of Servia, Alexander
1. was elevated to the throne in the place
of his disreputable father, in 1889. He
was born in 1876, and is now a sturdy
youth, who, it is said, gives promise OF
being quite as disreputable as ex-King
Milan ever was.
The present ameer of Afghanistan is
Abdur Rahman Khan, who assembled
the throne in 1880. It is a little known
fact that Afghanistan once had Greek
emperor, it being comprised within the
limits of the territory conquered by Al
exander the Great.
The present king of Belgium is Leo
pold IL, who assembled the throne De-
cember 10, 1868. The kings of Belgium
are successors of the princes of Orange
the first being Philibert who succeeded
to the throne in 1902; for long time
they were known asstadtholders.
The last elected president of Brazi
was DR.. Prudente de Moraes, whose tern
began November IS, 1894. The empire
of Brazil was a peaceable secession from
Portugal. Two emperors ruled ovel

Fron. ths Journal, olep.land, Tenn.


Six miles south of Cleveland, Tenn, live
the descendants of Daniel Boone, the pioneer
pathfinder of Tennessee and Kentucky.
Probably the oldest descendant of the i'm
mortal Daniel is Mr.. Jack Boone, of Black
Fox Station, who is now an old man, seven
ty-six years of age. He is held IN great
esteem in his vicinity, having held at various
he has filled with honor.
Two years ago Mr.. Boone was reported
vesy i'll, and his familiar figure was no
longer seen in our streets. To the surprise
of many, a few weeks ago Mr.. Boone came
to town looking as well as ever, and then 1t
became reported that he owed his recovery
to DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
To verify this reporter OF the journal
was sent to interview MIR. Boone, and after
ride of six miles the Journal man found
him sitting on his porch looking extremely
well for man of his years. With quick,
firm step the descendant OF the pioneer oe-
scendcd the step to greet his visitor, and
after few preliminary remarks the re-
porter came to the point by saying:
''Mr. Boone, was told by Druggist Phil
lips and also by Your brother, that you at
tribute your reco vered health ana strengiiaa
to DIR. Williams Pink Pills, and would
like to hear your version of the tale"
"Well, young man. said MIR. Boone, ~
don't usually have much to say about medl-
cines, but this is one that feel can't
praise too highly. II you could have seen
mo twelve months ago, and look at me now,
it would not be necessary for me to say any
thing. Just ask the neighbors about the
difference. And yet don't feel that have

am still taking them, and feel that am be-
