Only few days ago we were looking
forward to the comforts and pleasures
that Chriatmas would bring, and be-

and happiness to ALL" But as Christ

question naturally arises as to " mt ne

OF the father: "Get your books and off to
school," The question is yet easier set
tied with the industrious farmer, who,
when New Year morning comes, you
will find hustling about before daybreak,
ringing the farm bell or giving the war.

Cooley was Just as effective in the box
as oliver, each pitcher allowing IL
hits, but the poor support which the
former received was responsible in
large measure for the defeat of the
purple and white. In striking contrast
to the fielding of the Wheel club was
that of the Catholic Union. The wear
ers Of the green and white put up the
best Article in baseball which they
have exhibited this season and through
out the game played with snap and
vigor which is commendable in any
team.
The first two innings netted six runs
for the Union while the clubmen were
unable to score. BY good stick work
in the third, fourth and fifth the lat
ter scored seven times and at the be-
ginning of the eighth inning the score
was 81 in favor of the Union team
with the idea of cinching
the game the green and white men Sc
cured four runs before three men were
retired, and although the Wheel club
made desperate attempt to even mat
tiers in the ninth they could do no bet
ter than score twice.
Bean led the batting for his team
with two pretty doubles and one sin
gle. Fitzgerald put up an errorless
game at short and proved the best man
which the Union has had between sec
ond and third. Kaine continued his
clever work on third, accepting six
chances without an error Gibson, the
old Chester player who made his debut
on the Wheel club nine, proved him
self wonder with the stick. At bat
five times he knocked out three clean
singles, meeting the first ball pitched
On each occasion. Waite caught his

An ENJOYABLE Birthday Anniversary.

The home of +. P. Hopkinson on
Organ street was the scene of enjoy
ment Wednesday evening, the occasion
being the birthday anniversary of Mrs.
Hopkinson' s brother, John r. Dudley.
The house was tastefully decorated
with roses, Mr. Dudley's favorite
aower, sent in by neighbors and
friends, one bouquet alone containing
65 separate blossoms.
The evening was spent in music and
dancing, several fashioned figures
being introduced, S. F. Foster acting
as prompter. Musical selections were
rendered by Mrs. Cora Robinson, Miss
Lucia Foster and the Hamilton fam
lily. Mr.. and Mrs Chas. S. Dudley
of Whitetield, \. H., were present,
helping to complete the surprise and
celebrate the occasion. Refreshments
of cake and ice cream were served in
the evening. The gathering broke up
about midnight reporting an enioya-
BILE time and wishing Mr.. Dudley
many happy returns of the day.

Crowell's slow puzzling. balls. In spite
of this difference the shoemen had
enough men on bases to make the re-
suit much closer had one or two hits
been forthcoming when most needed.
1t was in the sixth inning when the
shoemen lost their best chance to keep
down the lead of the association. Two
of the association players went out
easily but before the third could be
caught, four runs had been scored.
Ferriter and johnson were tied for the
lead in batting with record Of three
singles and double each. March
found the right field bank for another
home run and his work on second was
as usual of high order, but his pro
pensty for conversing with the UNI
pire weakened the good effect of his
work in the minds of many of the spec
tators. Allen as usual was tower of
strength to the shoemen and gathered
in numerous high flies from his posi-
ton behind the bat. Carl Ellis ex-
celled in batting for the shoemen and
played exceedingly we'll on third.

BROTHERS,

Catholic Union Wins From the Wheel Club
by Superior Fielding Work-First Victory
Easy for the Association the Score Being
l6 2-Shoemen Prove Themselves Game Un-
til the End and Lose Only After Hard
Struggle.
1t was the fatal fifth inning that
overwhelmingly defeated the High
school baseball team in its game with
the Y. NJ. C. A. on the morning of the
Fourth. The situation stood two men
out, a man on first and no runs cred
tied to the association in that inning.
johnson knocked an easy grounder to
MuzZy who attempted to nail the man
on second instead of being sure of the
batsman. The result was that neither
was out and the association scored 10
runs before the third victim was final
ly secured. In spite of the difference
in the scores of the two teams the game
was not one sided with the exception
of the above mentioned inning. The
Y. NJ. G. A. secured three runs in the
first inning with the help of two passes
to first given by Brasor but was unable
in any of the other innings except the
fifth to secure more than one score.
The Y. M. G. A.. s victory was due
in large measure to the effectiveness
of Monroe who held the school boys
down to two rather scratchy hits, one
in the first and the other in the ninth.
Brasor's curves were troublesome to the
men when the ball came
over the plate but the former High
school twirler showed a lack of regular
practice and did not have the control
that formerly was his. Frost as usual
played clean game although he was
obliged to retire from the catcher's po-
sition to second base in the fifth in
ming on account of an injury to bis arm
from the spikes of a base runner. Only
one error was credited to the Y. NJ. c. |
a. team.

article in the Outlook by Professor
Scott, curator of ornithology in Prince
ton university. Professor Scott has
made birds his life study and has 800
live healthy specimens at his home. In
some theories, however, he differs so
widely from the Audubonites that his
ideas may perhaps be quoted with ben
eft. Professor Scott is decidedly averse
to those pilgrimages known as bird
walks" He says that no more than
two people should ever go together to OBJ
serve the habits of birds because moth
ing frightens them more than a crowd.
Professor Scott also holds that the
birds with camera is worse
than hunting them with IA gun in that
former method does not simply destroy
the life of one but frightens whole
tribes. These are points worth consid
ering in view of the numerous juvenile
iunkets which are being advertised.

The spell which has seemed to make
the Durham Brothers team invincible
was broken Saturday by the Y. NJ. c.
A. which defeated the shoemen to the
tune of l2-7 in game which was base
ball from start to finish. 1t was no
discredit to a team to lose such a con
test and the fact that it was the asso-
citation players did the trick only
makes the shoemen more anxious for
the next game with the victors. 1t
was in reality a pitchers battle in
which Crowell bad the advantage.

THE MEDBpER.
"U tie coat hts put it on"

If any Brattleboro people have the
desire to go into the skunk raising
business now is a good time to secure
nucleus of stock. Although poor
crop has been predicted for this year
there seems to be no trouble with the
skunk yield for more young "essence
peddlers' have been seen this season
than ever. 1t was only a few evenings
ago that young skunk about the size
of a gray squirrel followed a group of
young people the whole length of Ter
race street and it was only the appear
ance of the mater that could induce it
to part company with it's human ac
quaintances The youngsters of a
skunk family making its home near the
golf course have become so we'll ac-
quainted with the caddies that they
follow the boys all over the links and
allow themselves to be fondled like so
many kittens. In reality young poleca
are very pretty and .atfectionate crea-
lures and it is said that when domes-
ticated they forget the method of de-
fence which they practice when in a
wild state.
The Meddler is not believer in
trusts of any kind but he does think
that it would be benefit all around if
the coupe drivers would enter some
sort of combine so that all would not
60 to dinner at the same time. Dur
ing the noon and supper hours it is al
most impossible to secure transporta
tion and these are the very times when
it is most wanted. 1t almost seems as
if some arrangement could be made
whereby the coupe men could take
turns in feeding themselves and their
horses. Another thing for which the
coupe men are indirectly responsible is
the work which their patrons heap upon
some of the store keepers. Some peo
pie act as if the clerks on Main street
were retained servants of the coupe |
drivers. Whenever they wish car
riage these people telephone to any
store that happens to enter their mind |
and ask the clerk, or the proprietor if |
he happens to answer the call, if he
will please send up coupe. 1t makes |
no difference whether there are any
coupes on the street at the time. If
not the clerk must keep his eye open
and send one as soon as possible
Here's tip to the New England tele
phone company: Rent a telephone to
the coupe drivers trust.

Whatever may have been the feeling
of some of the Audubonites concerning
the iab which the Meddler put forth
last week at the hermit thrush concert
one of the members took the joke in
good part. In fact out of the goodness

of the birds song from an ornitholog-
