English reviewers have been quick tc
seize upon a curious agreement be-
tween Peter Dunno and Rudyard Kip
ling, in regard to the enervating eff
fects of athletic sports upon national
character.
This agreement is all the more GU
rious because Mr.. Dooley is usually a
rather severe critic of Mr.. Kipling's
wurrukin' - poems. Here, however,
is passage from MIR. Dooley's Opin-
ions'' whose moral is absolutely iden-
tical with that of "The Islanders''

Gold Excitement at Readsboro.

There is much excitement at Reads
boro and in che surrounding towns
over the gold mining operations which
are being conducted at Wilmington,
by the Brown gold mining plant at
Readsboro and by another plant at the
same place. A new deal has been con-
summated for the organization, under
Arizona laws, of big corporation,
capitalized at s., 800, 600, to be known
as the Readsboro Gold Mining com
pany. This company has secured min
ing leases of about 5000 acres in
Readsboro and Nottingham. The com
pany has some of the best water privl-
leges on the Deerfield river, and will
put up big crushing plant to extract
the ore, and dam to cost $50, 600. The
mill will be erected half mile above
Sherman on the Deerfield river. This
company will begin operations in May.
Boston and New York capitalists are
interested in this scheme, and the
board of directors is said to represent
s75, 600, GOO to 500, 600, 600 of capital
Some very favorable assays have been
gotten by all the people at work in
that section. Those of the Brown min.
ing company indicate that the ore will
average 50 ton, while the cost of ex-
tracing it is but So. The people in
terested in the new company have
assays on different veins averaging to
run from So to S33. Further upbuild-
ing for Readsboro is promised in the
news that Boston capitalists are to
start a shoe finding factory there. The
Deerfield river is to be damned half
mile below Sherman, and quite near
the state line. Electric power will be
three miles to Raadsboro.

NEARBY MASSACHUSETTS.

DR.. A. f. Davenport of North Adams,
president of the Catamount Hill asso-
citation, says that the national flag was
raised over a log schoolhouse in Col
rain in 1912. No other record has thus
far been found of the floating of the
stars and stripes over a schoolhouse
earlier than that in New Bedford in
May 1861 Colrain thus seems to be
about half century in advance of the
rest of the country in this matter. The
schoolhouse over which this early ban
ner was foated was destroyed by fire
about 1915, and time has removed
every trace of it. If, however, its
claim is not set aside, suitable me-
mortal will be placed on its site.

Ready to Change Bedfellows.

Little Tommie had been put to bee
alone. 1t was upstairs, and the thun-
der rolled and lightning flashed unmer-
cifully. He lay quietly until he could
no longer stand it and then his night
gowned figure appeared at the head of
the stairs.
Ma, he cried.
Yes my son, came the calm re-
joinder
I'm afraid, Ma. 1t thunders so and
I'm all alone. ~
Go back to bed, Tommie, - came his
mothers voice. Don t you know moth
ing can hurt you:''
Tommie went back to bed. but not
to stay.
MAJ he cried again, and this time
the little figure was half way down
stairs.
"Tommie,'' called his mother,
don't you know have told you moth
ing can hurt you, God is always with
you?"
Then, ma and this time there
came an audible sniff from the weep
ing Tommie, "you come up and sleep
with God and let me sleep with pa. .

It's curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret

it to the pale, anamic child,

chested child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big

In sweet and soothing tone

Must find responsive echoes
Far from earth's care and strife,
Calling us thro the shadows
To higher holier life.
You shall he fll'd
With the fullness of peace.

For your country, boy. and for that

as she bids you, though the service car
ry you through thousand bells. No
matter what happens to you, no matter
who fiatters you or who abuses you.
never look at another flag; never let a
night pass but you pray God to bless
that flag. Remember, boy, that behind
all these men you have to dowith, behind
officers and Government, the people,
even, there is the country herself, your
country, and that you belong to her,
as you belong to your own mother.
Stand by her, boy, as you would stand
by your mother, if those devils there
had got hold of her today. From "Man

Senator QuaY's Joke.

Senator Quay is telling joke at his
own expense, and as he is not given to
lightsomeness as a rule, the incident
which inspires his relation must have
tickled him amazingly. 1t occurred
during one of the senator s recent fish
ing trips down in Florida. He was
riding in an accommodation train and
one of his fellow passengers, an old
farmer, took seat beside him and be-
gan series of questions which, un-
answered, displayed the senator's hope
less knowledge of local affairs.
"Reckon ye don't belong to these
parts?' said Uncle Josh. Don t seem
to know Floridy very WELL. "

my wanderings, said Quay.
And what might be the reason We
air wanderin'?''

dition of mantle inner man, +" grave
ly replied Quay

marked to another passenger: "Talked

President Takes Action on the Case of the captor of Aguinaido. He Cannot Attend the
 Boston Banquet

Washington, April 23-By order of the President. General Funston has been directed to cease further discussion of public questions. The President has telegraphed General Funston not to speak at the Middlesex banquet in Boston.
 At banquet last Saturday night or the Colorado Sons of the Revolution, General Funston is reported to have said of Senator Hoar:
 Il have only sympathy for the senior Senator from Massachusetts who Is suf- fering from an overheated conscience.
 Probably what caused the issue Of this particular letter was an application from General Funston for leave of absence in order that he might attend the bail- auet to be given in Boston by the Mid dlesex Club. 1t was understood that he was to deliver another address there and as the President deprecates the dis cussion of public questions in this fashion by United States officials and officers this letter was sent The request for leave of absence was refused.
