Old ProVerb Justified.

Once upon a time an inquisitive man,
who acted regardless Of the ancient
proverbs that contain good advice, was
given a horse that had a streak Of
viciousness in it's character.
When the giyer had departed, after
having received the thanks usually
given on such occasions, the receiver,
having deep curiosity as to the horses
age, raised his great upper lips with
his two thumbs and proceeded to IN.

He found taat the horse had suH-
cient teeth for biting purposes, for
the animal, resenting the Intrusion Of
the two thumbs in its mouth. closed

result that the man found himself
with only eight fingers on his two
hands.

WHALE WORTH A FORTUNE.
t Carried Chun., q Ambergris That
Sold for About 100000.

More than $4,000 is what Capt.
James Earle, a New Bedford whaler
now visiting in Honolulu. realized in
1889 from one sperm whale. In fact,
the whale was one of the most valu-
able ever caught in any ocean. 1t
was not the ninety barrels of oil which
gave the leviathan it's extraordinary
value, for that was sold for something
like $4,000. but within the whales
vast interior there was found a solid
piece of ambergris weighing 780
pounds. This was the largest single
piece of ambergris ever found, accord
ing to the records. and that it came
from one lone whale made the rich
discovery the more interesting to the
scientific world.
This 7S0-pound piece of ambergris
was sold in chunks in all markets of
the world for about 925,0Oo sterling,
and it laid the foundation of wealth
for almost every man interested in the
whaling expedition, which originated
in New Zealand

1t often happens that deposit boxes
rented in bank vaults are opened on
account of arrears in payment on the
part of the renters, who cannot be

Philadelphia Record.
A young woman had a box in a
downtown bank and failed to pay its
second years rent AS she had dis

the box was opened last week All
it contained was pair Of baby shoes.

NEW USE FOR sNOWBALLS.
Farmer Put Them Into Well and OBJ

Speaking Of drinking water" said
one OF a group Of men waiting for the
shower to pass over. the best ever
drank was on my unCless farm, down
in Brown county.
We lived on top of a clay hill and
had we'll very deep, sixty feet,
reckon; bu it never had any water in
1t until ten years ago. A heavy snow
fell that winter and he filled the we'll
with snowballs. He rolled up balls
until they were large enough to go
into the we'll cleverly and then dump
ed them in until it was packed to the
top. They were packed SO closely
that they did not melt until late the
following summer, but when they did
they produced a supply of water
never saw surpassed for purity, soft
ness Or GOODNESS. 1t was delicious.
Strange to say. this we'll, always

supply since. The water, while not
as good as that from the snowballs,
is still excellent and celebrated

VICTORY AND DEFEAT.
FOR THE VERMONT WHEEL CLUB BASE
BALL TEAM

Wearers of the Purple and White Lose Game
to the Durham Brothers Nine Saturday and
Take One From the High School Wednesday
Afternoon Games Characterized by
Smuggling on the Part of the Batsmen.
The Durham Brothers ball team
kept up its winning streak last Satur-
day afternoon by defeating the Wheel
club team 15-1l, although the result
narrowly escaped being different in
the eighth inning when the clubmen
succeeded in scoring eight times dur
/ ing heavy shower. The game was
one of the most interesting which has
yet been played, especially after the
Wheel club began to put on the Yale
finish in the above mentioned inning.
Up to that time the game seemed to be
a cinch for the shoemen, the score
standing 15-2 at the end of the seventh.
Tasker, the new third baseman of
the Wheel club team, headed the bat
ting list and found the first ball
pitched for difficult fly to centerfeld
Tucker didn't get under it sufficiently
to nail the batsman and Tasker got his
base. Turner, the accredited heavy
hitter Of the team, next came to bat
and famed the air three times, as did
likewise Williamson although the lat
ter had chance to make nrst base on
IA mutf by the catcher. lie was not
speedy enough to do this but Tasker
succeeded in reaching home. Cooley
flied out to second. Allen and Stolte,
the first two men up for the shoemen,
were allowed to walk to first and each
in turn stole second. Stowell struck
out but reached first on mutf and IA
wild throw and allowed Allen to score.
Reed went out on grounder but scored
Stolte. Butterfield and L. Ellis each
hammered out a single but the former
was caught trying to steal second. G.
Ellis received pass to first and his
brother scored the fourth run before
Tucker retired the side by a grounder
over first base.
In the second inning the clubmen
went out in order and were alsl pre-
vented from scoring in the third after
a single and double by Tasker and
Turner. Stowell and Reed each scored
for their team in the third although
not hit was made. In the sixth viii !
Hanson weakened somewhat and was
touched for three Dagger and a double I
which helped the shoe clerks score five |
times. Cooley started in the seventh
but four runs were made in this in |
ming.
1t was at the beginning of the eighth /
after the rain had made good pitching /
an impossibility that the Wheel club .
started on its scoring career. Cooley. (
Allen, Perry and Williamson each Sc
cured clean singles and there were
enough errors on the part of the shoe
clerks to allow eight men to circle the
diamond. Af'er shutting out the Dun
ham men in the latter part of this in.
ling the club players made another
desperate attempt to win but the best
hey could do was to get two of the six
.uns needle /,

Three Cinnamon were captured

Three Cinnamon were captured in
a sensational manner early Tuesday
morning by United States District At
torney J. l.. Martin on the night eN-
press between Brattleboro and South
Vernon. He boarded the Springfield
car to go to Greenfield and noticed
three Cinnamon curled up on the seats.
Not recognizing their faces Mr. Mar
tin suspected that the celestials were
in this country in violation of the Chi
nese exclusion laws aud asked for
their Identification papers. They were
unable to produce them but had tick
cts from Waterbury to New York city.
Mr.. Martin took the three into custo-
dy and sent them to Brattleboro by
team. They remained in Brattleboro
until Tuesday afternoon when they
were taken to Montpelier TO await tri-
al. They gave their names as Leung

While the Richardson Market
has passed into new hands, our
main object will be to maintain
the high standard which this

one of the features of the game. Mon

The High school ball players were
hardly a match for the Wheel club
team in the game Wednesday afternoon
the clubmen winning 22S after secur-
ing 81 hits off Eames. The game was
not an interesting contest as the
schoolboys were left behind after the
first few innings and were unable to
make more than one attempt to even
matters. The fielding on both sides
was cratic and in spite of the large
number of lists the score might have
been much smaller if the men had done
better work in the diamond.
The score:
