{. H. S. VICTORIOUS
Won Yesterdays Game at Montpelier
by Close Margin.

Montpelier, Oct. THE Edmunds high
school foot ball team from Burlington
defeated the Montpelier Seminary team
by score of to 5 on the seminary
grounds this afternoon in one of the
hardest contested and closest games
which have been seen on the grounds.
The seminary had the heavier team and
was composed of older and more expert
enced players, but Edmunds by their fast
play and team work made good their OPP
ponents' advantages inthese respects.
At the beginning of the first half. end
runs by Watkins and Kendalrs furious
line bucking put the ball over Montpel-
iers goal line. McCuen made difficult
goal.
Near the first of the second half Mont
pelier got possession of the ball by hold
ing kdmunds for downs and rushed the
ball half the length of the field and over
the line for a touchdown. McIver failed
to kick goal. At the kick off Montpelier
got the ball and by a series of rushes
carried the ball down to the three yard
line. where Edmunds by a great effort
held them for downs. Edmunds punted
and time was called with the ball in
the centre of the field.
The lineup was as follows:

clergyman warded OF, with one ex-

"Talked About"

The neighbors talked about her nearly
everywhere they met:
They talked about her till she died; they
talk about her yet.
The high and low all spoke Of her, as
did the old and young.
And every gossip tossed her name upon
her ninble tongue.
Twas she who kissed the baby first and
blest it's happy birth;
Twas she who helped to guide its feet
through all the paths Of earth;
twas sne who watched beside the bed
whereon the dying lay.
Twas she who soothed the stricken
friends when one was called away.
The neighbors talked about her nearly
everywhere they met;
They talked about her till she died; they
talk about her yet.
They talked about her ,wondrous hands
her heart 80 full OF love.
And now the angels talk of her who
dwells with them above.

Colorado Celery for the Eas,

Colorado Celery for the East.
Colorado celery is this year for the
first time being shipped East. From
an insignificant business of few
years ago it has developed to an enor-
nous industry Three years ago such
q thing as shipping celery to the
eastern markets was unheard Of. But
q few enterprising spirits decided to
make the experiment and were amply
rewarded for their efforts. The re-
turns were SO large that the next year
they shipped nearly their entire crop
East. Since then the business has
developed rapidly. and this year will
be the banner season of them all
Nearly twenty-five cars have been
shipped, and conservative estimate
for the season would be that not less
than forty cars will be shipped alto
gether. AS each carload will easily
average $4,000 pounds in weight, i,
means that fully 100000 pounds Of
celery will be used for export trade

Evolves New Theory
OF the Human Soul

There is somewhat remarkable
theory of mans soul and earthly ex-
istence that is set forth in Orlando
Smiths book, "Eternalism." His
argument may be briefly indicated by
the following quotations:
''It is usually assumed that the in
dividual is created at his birth by q
divine power. or by the processes OF
nature Now, we cannot deny that
some individuals are born good and
others bad, and 1t seems to be i'm
possible to reconcile with infinite jus.

noble character and another individ.

annihilation are really transforma.

At an informal clergymen's dinner
given the other night some excellent
stories current among the local clergy
were related.
One of the most enjoyed was told Of
the late esteemed Bishop Latane,
who was sufficiently broad-minded to
enjoy joke even at his own expense.
The bishop was once making a
series of visits to the then scattered
parishes of Canada. 1t was summer,
and the clergyman, worn down from
the winters work, resolved to take
advantage of this opportunity for
mental relaxation and to preach the
same sermon at each of the several
churches visited. So he wrote one
sermon-a good. strong stirring ser
mon. and without another line OF
manuscript started on his journey. 1t
was preached at first at St. John, N.
B.. and received the appreciation 1t
deserved; but its very excellence soon
became a source of embarrassment

thought the sermon too good to be

TYPE OF REAL CHRISTIAN.
How Bishop Nicholson Revealed His
Laraeness Of Heart.

How 6lSnop NSCnOiSON nevSd'So Ss's
Largeness Of Heart.
Rt. Rev. Isaac Lea Nicholson was IN
the lumber region of northern Wiscon-
sin. The little church was crowded to
the doors, many people standing.
A woman, holding little child. he
came uneasy as the latter began to
whimper. Those near her began to
scowl.
The bishop spoke louder. The baby
followed his example and developed
lusty scream. Men and women nearby
whispered to the woman to remove the
child. The poor mother tried In every
way to quiet the child. but without
success.
The bishop, proceeding with his
sermon, recalled that his trousers
pocket had contained some gum drops
that had been stored there as q pre-
caution in case of irritation OF his
throat. which had been causing him
some Inconvenience. He felt for his
pocket while continuing to speak. now
at a fortissimo scale; there were still
a half dozen gum drops remaining.
Pausing in his remarks, the bishop
walked quietly to the pew where the
embarrassed woman held her child
and, patting the latter ON the head
nut one of the candies in its mouth
The effect was Instantaneous. The
sugar coating quieted the child.
The bishop handed the remaining
gum drops to the mother.
Don't 60 out" he said; "these vii
keep the little one still" Then he re
turned to the pulpit and resumed hi'
