The Man Who Looked,

Her shoestring needed fixing so she
placed low cut shoe
Upon the stone step of building tc
see what she could do.
The shoe contained a dainty foot below
an ankle trim
And openwork in part concealed mart
of shapely limb.
Some ten feet distant stood a man and
steadily he gazed
Upon the things made visible as her
walking skirt she raised.
She CHANGED to look up suddenly and
met that strangers stare;
She caught him in the act and then
wild language shook the air.
That stranger man was treated to a
dissertation rare
On men who could be gentlemen, on
the street or anywhere"
She roasted him and toasted him and
burned him to a turn,
Some men, she said, were born dumb
brutes and never seemed to learn.
For minutes five, or maybe more, she
told him what she thought.
But the man made her no answer. He
still gazed at the spot
Where she had tied her shoe and then
boy came up behind
And led the man away from her. The
man, she found, was blind.

sour New Minister"

All roads will lead to the Auditorium
tomorrow night when Denman
Thompson and George w. Ryer's Our
New Minister plays it's annual en-
gagement. That this is one of the
looked for events of the theatrical
year is evidenced by the large advance
sale which practically insures a pack
ed house. Our New Minister"
possesses the atmosphere of the home
and hearth of New England. The
play is pure in its dialogue. and inno-
cent in its fun and in all its sugges-
lions. There is no horse play; the
fun is not foolish and the pathos and
love story are not allowed to become
tedious. and the realism is not of the
horse. COW or chicken order; the
barnyard has not been robbed for
stage settings. When many of the
plays that are now being presented to
theater goers are forgotten Our New
Minister" will remain green in the
memory. 1t leaves an excellent rel
ish. MAY Our New Minister'S"
shadow never grow less, nor his in
fiuence pale.

Notes of the Diamond.

The next game between the COM
bined Brattleboro team and outside
high fiiers will probably be played
next week with Millers Falls.
Yesterday the West Brattleboro team
defeated a nine from the Retreat to the
tune of 144. 1t was a cold day" but
the game had many interesting feat
ures.
At the opening of the season Shea,
the shoeman, offered a pair of $3.50
Douglas shoes to the player having the
highest batting average. The winner
proves to be Louie Allen, captain of
the Wheel club team. who has an av-
erage of i5S. The next highest man
is Tucker with 355, and the next Waite
with 1852. But Allen is boss of the
willow hereabouts.

WHEEL CLUB vIcToRs.
Took Championship From Y. m. G. A.
Saturday.

The Wheel club team is the cham
pion nine of the Brattleboro base ball
league. That was settled Saturday af-
ternoon, when the Wheel club beat the
Y. M. C. A. s to in a contest full of
good hard play. without a tinge of
hippodroming or any suspicion OF
throwing the game. 1t was hard
fought and well earned and every
spectator realized that the players
were In for all there was to be had. 1t
is very creditable to the league man
agement that the season ended so
squarely and in such satisfactory style.
A record breaking crowd saw the
game; it was well-known that the
question of the championship had
reached crisis and the attendance
was much the largest Of the season.
The association boys started the
game by promptly making three runs.
and kept the Wheel club from scoring
until the third, when Ellis and Allen
broke the ice. They repeated the trick
in the sixth, and the Young Mems
Christian association tied the score in
their half of the inning. Ellis and AL
len kept company for two more in the
seventh, and 7. the association again
evened up in their turn. Both teams
We're blanked in the eighth. and In the
ninth Ellis and Allen went the rounds
for the fourth time and two more were
added to their credit.
In the last chance to square them
selves, w. Brooks led off with a clean
two Dagger, and scored on fielder's
choice. Thayer ended the suspense by
fly to Waite
The game was full Of features and
fast fielding Aliens one-hand stop of
a hot grounder and fuckers running
catch were principal features. Waite
played great game at first and
stopped many bad throws. March, at
second, accepted everything in his vi
cinity with the exception of a hard fly.
Aliens work at third was better than
any time this year. and he made sew
eral pretty stops w. Brooks and Frost
caught in grand stvle, and Ellis and
Monroe pitched in their usual good
form.
w. Brooks, Allen and L. Ellis led the
hitting each getting three, Brooks a
triple, double and single, and Allen a
triple and two singles. Ellis got in
three singles and scored every time he
came to bat. Stolte helped with time
ly hitting, getting double and single.
While the Brattleboro season is end
ed, there will be several games played
with outside teams by team picked
from the best players in the Brattle-
boro league. Allen, who has so sue
cessfully captained the winners the
past two seasons, will likely lead an
all Brattleboro team The score:

/ The board of license commissioners
of Rutland are much incensed at the
severe arraignment which they have
been receiving at the hands of the
Rutland Herald.
| The board has made the following
statement:
In view of the statements made in
the editorial columns of the Rutland
Herald the license commissioners Of
the city of Rutland deem it their duty
to say to the public that this editorial
was gross misStatement of certain
conditions, probably for the purpose of
misleading the public.
I'VE desire further to state that
there has been no complaint made In
form as provided by law. to the COM
mission, relative to the illegal sale of
Intoxicating liquors but what has been
properly disposed of; that the commits
sioners have instructed the police to
furnish them evidence of any violation
of the law that may come to their
knowledge at any and all times; that
the members of the sheriff's depart
ment have also received the same re-
quest and that even the editor of the
Rutland Herald has been inportuned
by the board for such evidence, which
he has failed to furnish in any way up
to the present time.
We desire no newspaper controver-
sy and make this statement simply to
inform the public OF our position in
the matter. We are very DESTROYS of
seeing the local option law enforced
and are asking the public for every
scrap of evidence in form which We
can use to convict any parties licensed
or unlicensed, within our jurisdiction.
