9, Bath 5.
Some people would he found who

win every game and whitewash all
teams they came in contact with. The
home polo team has bean having hard
luck lately, but they know how TO play
polo for all that, as was demonstrated
last night. when they went up AGAINST
the leaders In the league, The work Of
Captain MoKay's men last night was be-
yond criticism. In passing and general
ship they were simply 30 far ahead Of
Bath that the latter team didn't seam to
know what was going on more than half
the time, On the defensive, they simply
outplayed the visitors In every particular,
and their success was due not to good
luck altogether, but TO fast playing and
head ork.
Portland is now seeing the fastest polo
ever played In this state, There can be
but little doubt of this, for the old timers
say So The home team might be Inn
proved by having a heavier man in
plaoe of whatmough, but judging from
this mans work last night they could
not find much bsttsr rusher, after ell,

night they made the first two periods
about as fast as any one would care 70 see.
Portland went In with a rush, and for
the first period simply PLAYED sll around
the visitors. Then, In the second period,
Bath braced M a bit, and played more
on the defensive. while In the third perl
cd Bath went In for all there WAS, and
Mckay and his men slmbly played horse
with them on the defensive. in order
to kill time. 1t was remarkably exciting
p9lp, fast, clean, and scientific. Port

rest there is to be had this season.

A Drummer.

Judge Clark, of the North Carolina
supreme court, had to open court at
Oxford one winter. When he got to
Henderson he found deep snow on
the ground, and the railroad from that
place to Oxford in those days did not
run in such weather. So the judge set
out in buggy, with a driver whose
customers had heretofore been COM
mercial tourists. He took the judge
for drummer, and tried to beguile
the tedium by talking over the hard
ware line. Not finding him exactly
well posted on that he took up the
dry goods business. Not doing much
better with that he successfully tried
him on notions, groceries, liquors and
others. Having exhausted all the
Zines he could think of, he finally
asked: ''You are a drummer, are ybu
not?' eyes" said the judge, II am
somewhat in that line" ''Well, what
is your ine?" said the driver. ''I am
a drummer for the state peniten-
tiary.' The driver, saying to himself,
half aloud: "You are the first one in
that line that ever came along here"
drove the rest of the way in silence.
When the conveyance drove up to the
hotel in Oxford the landlord ran out
to greet his guest. When the driver
heard his passenger called "judge" the
point dawned on him, and he dashed
around the house, scattering a cloud
of snow with his wheels.-N. Y, Trib.

A Diplomats Pue.

One almost forgets how long ago it
is since the muzzling order was first
issued, but shortly after the inception
of that order housemaid "attached"
to foreign legation took pug dog,
also "attached' to the same legation
out for walk. She was stopped by
constable who asked her why the dog
was not wearing muzzle. The house
maid replied that the dog did not pos
sess muzzle, because it was diplo-
matte dog. The constable responded
that the dog was dog, and that he was
not fool. The constable took the
name and address of the housemaid.
A few days later a summons arrived at
the legation. The housemaid did not
present herself at the court, and the
magistrate imposed fine on her. At
last the foreign minister went to the
marquis of Salisbury about the mat
ter. The result was that all the Off
cials connected with the case were
reprimanded and a ''note' was ad.
dressed from Lord Salisbury to all the
legations in London, in which note
Lord Salisbury said he had the honor
to call attention to certain order en-
titled the ''muzzling ORDER" by which
it was enacted that all dogs, when
taken into public places. should wear
a muzzle over their head.-Chambers

DEVOTION OF A DOG.
Runs After a Railroad Train so as to
Be Reunited with the Children
He Loved.

On incident occurred at Perry, Okla,
few days ago which illustrates the
devotion of dog to children. Mrs.
E. Butler, the wife of a groceryman,
who mysteriously disappeared from
Perry some weeks ago and who came
from Atchison, KAN, last year, was
leaving Perry for Ohio, a former home.
The family dog was given to a neigh
Dor. When the train arrived on which
the Butler family was to leave the
dog had broken a big rope with which
he was tied at the home of his new
master, and had appeared at the train.
His new master and another man held
the dog by leather collar, but when
the train started the dog bit both
men and got away. He took after the
train, barking at every jump, and for
more than mile he could be seen
running after the car with all his
might. The next morning when the
next northbound passenger train
rolled into Red Rock, a station 20 miles
north of Perry, the dog was there, and
made spirited attempt to get aboard.
he had TO De 1OugnC OH Dy the tram
crew. When the train started he ran
after it, and as far as the train could
be seen the dog was close behind it,
barking as he ran.
The dog had not been away from
the Butler children for any length of
time fer two years. He had followed
the children by day and kept watch
over the little beds by night.-St. Louis
Republic.

NOT GOOD FOR COWS.
The Feeding of Musty Hay Injuries
the Milk Flavor and Is the
Cause of Poor Butter,

Do not feed musty hay to dairy cows,
nor in fact any kind of fodder that is
musty. Some believe that this musti-
ness will not pass through into the
milk, and it may be so, but we are
suspicious of the truth of the asser-
ton. 1t is a fact that there is diff
ference in the flavor of butter made on
June grass and the butter made in
the winter when the COWS are fed on
dry hay. II this difference in feed
makes any difference in flavor, why
may it not make a good deal of diff
ference if the feed be particularly
bad. Moldy feed is bad thing to
have around in any case and should
be thrown out. Using it as COW bed
ding is likely to make the matter
worse, for the whole stable will be
scented with it, and in the morning
when the milk is drawn it will GER
tainly be tainted and this taint will!
grow as the cream ripens. 1t is not
advisable to use this for bedding and
depend on airing the barn enough in
the morning to get the smell out. This
would be seldom done at all, and where
done it would generally be done in a
very imperfect manner. The presence
of spoiled feed is very often the cause
of poor butter.-Farmers' Review.

Peacemaker Brothers are two beauti.

named Rickett, resident of Deal street:

his fowls as collies guard sheep.
Sheep, though, are amiable. They
never fight, and the collie has an easy
task with them. But chickens are
quarrelsome, particularly the male
birds, and in a fight they will quite
eat each other up if no one is around
to interfere. Peacemaker Brothers
have been trained by Mr.. Rickett to
do the interfering.
All day long they loiter with the

THE DAIRY UTENSILS.

In private. dairies it would be well
to emulate the methods in vogue in
milk shipping stations and creameries,
Never neglect the care of the churn.
Slight negligence in this direction may
cost you the price of many a pound OF
butter.
Nothing will penetrate the crevices
of churn like hot water, and it needs
to be at boiling temperature when
applied.
After churn has been some time out
of use it should be thoroughly secured
with salt and repeatedly scalded be-
fore being again employed.
If it is important to keep butter
tools scrupulously clean low much
more important is it to be rigorous in
the treatment of milk utensils.
Rigid drying of dairy utensils by
both an absorbent cloth and heat viii
prove satisfactory. I have known {
new S25 curd mill to be so eroded by
rust in one season as to be nearly
ruined, while by proper care it coulc
have been made to run ten years with
out repair.
There is nothing gained in patching
up old utensils about a home dairy OF
manufactory. Like farming tools, the
apparatus of a creamery or cheese fac
tory generally deteriorates more
quickly in value from neglect thar
from practical use in it's especial
sphere.-American Cultivator.
