BASKET BALL.

The Montpelier and Goddard girls
met at basket ball in the gymnasium
at they. M. @. A. Thursday evening. 1t
has always been hard for the girls to
stand on the side lines in the base
ball and football matches between the
two schools and only take part in the
contests to the extent of yelling the
boys on to victory. In this game the
girls manifested the same spirit of
rivalry in the game that has charac-
terized the athletic matches between
the two schools for years.
The whistle blew at about eight
O'Clock and the girls sailed in. Then
there was fifteen minutes of pretty,
snappy work, both sides being lively
on their feet and never letting up for
minute There were good many
wrestling matches for the bail nd the
sweat on Referee Bolles' face gave
evidence that the girls were giving
him pretty lively chase around the
hall. The Montpelier girls showed a
great improvement over their last
game, being especially good at guard
ing. At the end of the first half the
score was 6 to in favor of Montpelier.
In the second half the Goddard
team seemed to be taking brace and
did some pretty lively work. Miss
Buell. of Goddard showed her strength
at one time in this half, making sew
eral close tries for baskets when it
looked as if the whole Montpelier
team were guarding her.
Miss Marvin of Montpelier did some
star work for the seminaries landing
several difficult baskets The final
score was 10 to in favor of Goddard
The line up was as follows:
M. S., forwards, Marvin and Brad
ford; center, B. Drennan; guards,
Donoghue and Hopkins. G. S., for
wards, Robinson and Deane; center,
Buell.; guards, Short and Chapman
Baskets from field: Marvin, 4, Rob-
inson, /, Buell., 3. Baskets from foul
line: Robinson, 2. Referee, Bolles.
Umpire, Bovce.

MR. IND MRS. CANNING

Mr.. and Mrs. James @. Canning,
who were united i'll marriage last
Tuesday, returned on Saturday from
their bridal tour to Boston and vicin-
ity.
Mr. and Mrs. Canning went at once to
their residence at % North street
where they found awaiting them a
large number of beautiful and useful
tokens in silver, cut glass, ETC., left there
during their absence by their many
friends.
In honor of their return, the hun
dred or more employ ees of the Lane
Manufacturing Company, of which
Mr.. Canning has been trusted en-
ployee for more than three decades,
and of which he is now popular and
efficient foreman, knocked off, an
hour earlier than usual ON Saturday
afternoon and went to the Canning
home to pay their respects to Mr. and
Mrs. Canning.
"Jim' received his "boys' with
the royal hospitality of which he is
famous and gave Their the freedom of
the house.
During the social hour that ensued
Joseph Wood, acting for the employees,
led Mr.. Canning into their midst and
gravely informed him he would have
to be blindfolded for time. He sub
mitted laughingly but with curiosity
stamped upon his features He was
then arrayed in tasty dressing gown
and seated upon IA handsome couch
both gifts from his men-after which
his eyes were uncovered and formal
presentation of the gifts made by Mr.
Wood.
Mr.. Canning acknowledged the gifts
in his characteristic hearty manner
and expressed his heartfelt thanks.
The occasion was entirely informal
and most enjoyable one. The party
broke up with hearty Godspeed from
each guest for Mr. and Mrs. Canning
in their new life begun here.
Up to a late hour in the evening the
house was filled with friends and
neighbors, who called to express their
best wishes to Mr.. and Mrs. Canning,
and MI. Canning said that his only
regret was that he could not meet all
his friends personally and thank them
for it would require whole newspaper
to do it in manner which he thou yht
would be adequate for their gener-
osity.

FOR SCHOOL EXHIBITS.

II. b. Cowan, representing the New
England Homestead of Springfield,
Mass, who is visiting managers of
Vermont fairs with a view to arouse
an interest in the matter of school ex-
hibts at county fairs and like exhi-
billions. he was in this city Friday
and laid the plan before Superinten-
dent OF Education Ranger. Mr..
Ranger gives his opinion of the scheme
as follows.
The proposition for managers of
county fairs to make provisions for
exhibits prepared by school children,
especially in connection with nature
study and faithful study of farm and
home life, is most commendable, and
may easily become a movement of
much educational promise and in
fiuence. If the school is to provide
useful training and thereby enrich the
industrial as we'll as the intellectual
and moral life. of our people. it must
keep in close touch with that life in
large sense, and constantly draw
from such great sources the knowledge
and inspiration that alone can enrich
its own life and make it real factor
in social, civic and industrial life.
To turn the pupils of our rural schools
to q better study and higher apprecia-
tion of farm life is to make our
OF fn w ~
training for the duties and conduct of
such life. One of the needs of the
time is that the school teach more
fully and effectively the industrial life
of our people, and thereby contribute
more effectively to a right training
for industrial success. which is the
very foundation of social and civil
life.
If county fairs can succeed in
enlisting the interest and cooperation
of teachers and pupils in preparing
exhibits that reflect the life of the
home and farm as we'll a. the work of
the schools, right impulse will have
been given to school work and the re
suit will indicate important education
al progress.
We're the county fair to present
exhibits of school work of every kind,
without doubt very important results
would ensue in acquainting the public
with a better knowledge of our
schools and giving an impetus to
better industrial training for the
school.

LIVELY RUNA WAY,

A runaway occurred on State street
Friday night, a little after six O. clock.
Ivan Sparrow, son of l.. L. Sparrow
was driving up State street toward
Main, and when nearly in front of the
Montpelier House he turned out to
pass truck team hut, unfortunately,
miscalculated and the side of the
sleigh struck the team. His horse
became frightened and began to kick
and run. The animal slipped and fell
once but recovered her footing pulling
the shafts free from the sleigh, at the
same time pulling young Sparrow
over the dasher and landing him in
the middle of the street where he was
obliged to let go of the reins. The
horse then started up Elm street at a
pretty lively clip, tho shafts dangling
On the gfound
Officer Durkee of the police force
was standing on the corner by the
police station and, as the horse went
by. rushed out after her. After a
pretty exhibition of sprinting he sue
ceeded in stopping the horse near
Lewis Wood store on Elm street.
Mr.. Sparrow was not seriously hurt
The fact that no damage was done,
with the exception of the smashing of
the sleigh, is due to the timely assis-
stance of Officer Durkee.

The Easy Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not
grippe nor weaken the system. They
cure biliousness, jaundice, constipa-
tom and inactive livers, by arousing
the secretions, moving the bowels
gently, yet effectually, and giving
such tone and strength to the glands
of the stomach, liver and bowels, that
the cause of the trouble is removed en-
tirely. These famous little pills exert
decided tonic effect upon the or
gans involved, and if their use is con-
tinued for few days there will be no
return of the trouble. Rivers Bros
