THE MODERN SELLERS.
HOW HE STILL "SELLS" THE
C0NFIDING PUBLIC.

Those people who are deceived by ex-
traVagant statements, and are. led to
spend their money 'for that which is not
bread and their labor for that which sat
isfieth not" have usually only them
selves to blame. The tenderfoot, for in
stance, listens to the syren song of some
Colonel Mulberry Sellers until the refrain
of the song There's millions In it, there 5
millions in it, echoes and re-echoes In
his brain, deadening all whispers of rea-
son and common sense. He fairly Tails
over himself in his haste to clinch the
bargin and buy a "hole in the ground
out of which not an ounce Of gold has
been taken and where the existence of a
true vein remains to be proved.
The rarer man is he who awaits devel-
opments who sees the vein uncovered,
and insists upon being able to measure it
on three sides. He is willing to let the
other fellow experiment and take out
million so long as the mine he buys has
a record of a rich, developed vein.
The difference between DR., Pierce
Golden Medical Discovery and so-called
patent medicines is the difference be-
tween an assured gold mine and a hole
in the ground" The difference between
the claims made for Golden Medical Dis
cOvery and the claims ordinarily made
for every common cure-au is the differ
ence between the cry of a Colonel Sellers

Webster. May 3O.-This town is base
ball mad tonight and everyman. woman
and child in town has money to lend
to the victors in the two games against
the strong East Douglas aggregation
Not only did Webster retrieve its lau-
rels lost last Saturday but it went
one better in administering two
straight and sound thrashings to the
men from the axe town. Fifteen large
goose eggs in the afternoon was the
sum total on the reporters score books
for the East Douglas nine.
Horton was mighty, and the tame
work of Dad Clark last Saturday is re-
membered by local fans with a degree
of sourness. The men from the axe
town did not have on their glasses
and as a result the balls which he
threw over the rubber We're about the
size of bird shot as they few over the
plate. East Douglas bats came in con-
tact with the sphere at times, but it
was either deposited in the hands IF a
fielder or shot into the hands of
baseman, and the heavy hitters from
the axe town retired with but three
hits to their credit.
Viau pitched a part of the game for
East Douglas. but the mill town balls

piled up runs until it became absolute
ly monotonous. Summersgill was bat
ted all around the lot and looked tired.
Kelley played a star game for the
home team, making five hits. Shelter
and Stafford also played great pail.
Putnam, the old reliable, was here, TOO,
and covered himself all over with
glory. Put" sent the crowd wild by
batting the ball over the tops Of the
trees into the lake for two home runs.
Cannon, Shea and Wheeler also came
in for a share of the hOnOrs of the
home team, and the grim dismay Of the
East Douglas. Verify. Webster has a
great ball team. The score:

News was received here this after
noon of the death of Mrs. Hannah
Walsh in Leominister, this afternoon.
Mrs. Walsh formerly lived in Clinton.
She is survived by her husband, her
son, Dr. John Walsh, and her daugh-
tiers Miss Nellie and Miss Annie Walsh.
Few persons have been better known in
this town. Hon. John w. Corcoran
was her nephew, as was attorney "a
vid l. Walsh. She was sister 10 MT
John Walsh of this place. Mrs. Walsh
has been i'll for several months. her
relatives have known for some liihe
that the end was approaching.
II was a hard luck game the Clinton
base ball champions met today, when
the gentle aggregation from South
birmingham tied the score with Two
runs in the last half Of the nlnth, ana
in the tenth completed the operation OF
wrestling victory from defeat. Austy
Rail must be credited with the error
that lost the game in so far as the win
ming run is concerned. He fumbied the
hall TO begin with, which was an error
in itself, and then made bad matter
worse with a disastrous throw to third.
The ball sailed high over the base
mans head and Paul from South
birmingham scoOted across the home
plate like a comet trying to get under
cover.
Nevertheless the loss of the game
NAV be attributed to all around loose
Dlaving in the last half of the ninth,
which was palpably the result Of over
confidence. The home players con-
ceived the fancy that two runs in the
last half We're a little beyond the visit
ors. The crowd thought 50 too. Two
hundred people rushed in toward the
diamond. in a way that should have
demoralized the visitors, but did as
matter Of fact demoralize the home
team. Small boys tore up the foul flags
and waved them like mad. South Fra

East Douglas, May SO.-The mighty
axe makers fell beneath the Webster
axes, which were a trife sharper, on
the local grounds this forenoon. The
score was IA to 10. The mill town boys
redeemed themselves creditably.
The game abounded in frequent
kicks, and it was a slow one, being
nearly three hours in duration. The
features of the game were the heavy
batting by both teams.
Merritt and Sholta, of the Webster
team. got spiked during the game.
Merritt has played ball for IA years, and
today was his first experience in the
spiking line. He pluckily played the
game to a finish, as did Sholta. Heager

What BefdlIs The Spendthrift.

BY most men the rosy dreams OF
youth are never realized The work
men mnst always far outnumber the
employers, more than onehandred to
one. The man who puts off the prac-
tice of economy, waiting for time
when it will be easier for him to de-
prive himself of certain pet Injuries
learns when it is too late that he has
passed the point where he can demand
of the present that it shall help pro-
vide for his future. Among all the
acquaintance | have had in the past
forty years, not one among them has
retired from business a successful man.
Possibly you may look upon that
word .spendthrift" as one that can
not be applied to you You may
think it applies only TO one who fool
ishly throws away fortune. Ii you
will turn to your dictionary you will
read that he is spendthrft who is
improyident or wasteful. The word
applies with equal force to the man
earning ten dollars week and to him
who has thousands
There are no miracles in business
career The man who wins success
has toiled early and late with all his
powers of body and mind He has been
subservient to his ambition. He has
pushed aside, because it was the first
step toward success, every habit and
desire that stood between him and
his goal No man was ever nun bered
