former proprietor of Fryeburg Academy
delivered lecture last evening at the

"How to Study Literature" He said
1.-The study of literature is the study OF
man. Literature belongs to the interior
sphere or ideal realms Of his nature. Ap-
roach an author to find the best that Is in
him. No one is at his best at all times.
Even Shakespeare sometimes falls below
the lsvel of his contemporaries. Estimate
the author as man. Find the central
principle of his work. Use your own
eyes and ears and mediate upon all that
is read. Set aside ali the opinions of
others until you have some OF your own.
At the close Of the evening rising vote
Of thanks was given to the lecturer.

Manager Gus Scbmelz has few more
irons in the league fire and there Is deal
afoot looking toward another one for two
transfer. The Senators have offered TO
exchange Charley Abbey, the outfielder,
and Catcher McAuley for Colonel Nc
Creery, ETC." Now, here is where the
management will make another big mis-
take. Charley Abbey is as good an out
fielder as there is in the league aud Nc
Auley is u promising young catcher. Why
do they want to weaken the team? Why
don't they strengthen it? They will surely
weaken 1t il this deal goes through.
None OF the men on the reorganized team
should be sold or exchanged, and IL the
above deal is consummated the faus will be
down on the management more than ever
By exchanging Joyce they have weakened
the team and il this other deal goes
through they might as well Sell all the
players and close the park.
