HOME NEWS.
STAFFORD SPRINGS.

Monday was about the most glorious Fourth ever experienced locally. The two ball games, which have been the topic of conversation for several weeks, were both won by the local team. The largest crowd of the season witnessed the morning game, some thing over 1000 people being present. Nearly 200 Monson rooters were down with their voices and their coin.
 When they went back their voices were husky and their pockets did not sag. The whole story is that the weak places on the home team were made strong and the goods were de- livered. The big crowd that gathered in the morning was repaid for the trouble by one of the best exhibitions of ball playing ever seen on the local grounds. It was anybody's game up to the 10th inning, when O'Neill made a home run and won the day. Monson played Hess of the Spring fields in the box, who held the boys down in pretty good shape. Stafford had for twirler a man named Filler who learned few things about the game in the California league. The visitors found much difficulty in To- eating MT. Filler for safe hits. The battery work for both teams was of the best Other features of the game was the work of Casin at 3d and of Sullivan at short The scora =

Service Promptly Accepted.

Many are the absurd tasks that the caadidates for initiation into certain College fraternities are compelled to 4;fosm before they are entitled to full m&mbership. Miss Nancy Shykes, an |e19 sFfy spfnster whose home was in Q college town, was surprised one morn ing by a visit from young man in fantastic garb.
 "Good morning. madam" he said, lifting his jaunty little straw hat-it was in the dead of winter. "This Is Miss Shykes, is it not"
 Yes, sir. What do you want of me"
 'I am sent here," he replied, with the utmost solemnity, "by the Eta Bit ia Pie society to sweep your kitchen, paint your house. attend to your stoves, milk your COW or do anything else you may want me to do. I await your orders. madam" ...... .
 Miss Nancy, who was a woman of rare self possession, reflected a mo- ment.
 All those things have been attended to, young man." she said, rubbing her nose, but you may pay off the mort gage on my house."
 "How much is it?'
 -Four hundred dollars"
 Ut shall be done. madam" he said, without the slightest change in the ex- pression of his face. 'I wish you good morning."
 He lifted his straw hat again, bowed profoundly and was gone.
 It only remains to add that the young man, who was the only son of rich parents and could well afford the sum out of his allowance, was as good as his word. Z.

The Maids Evasive Answer.

Strange as 1t may seem, there is Q public man in this city who Is blessed or cursed with a tender conscience that worries him in small matters as well as in great. Among the things that he cannot justify to himself is the bidding a servant to say that he is not at home when in reality he is in- side his house. At the same time he is not able to receive the many visitors who call upon him, and his only re- source was to give instructions that polite excuses should be given. Upon one occasion such instructions were given to a maid, an Irish girl gifted with the readiness and good wit of her nation.
 'sThen Pm to be saying, sir, that you're not at homer the maid in- quired.
 'No, Mary; noy' was the reply. That would not be true. If any one should ask for me you must just put him off-give him some evasive an- swer, you know"
 "Ill do it. sir. never fear" was the maids reply. Mary was as good as her word
 That afternoon a person of impOr- tance made his appearance and was duly sent away. The faithful maid reported the circumstance to her em- ployer.
 "What did you do, Maryr inquired the latter. with some trepidation.
 "Oh, just put him off. sir. as you told me. I gave him an evasive an- swer."
 "Yes. but what did you say to himT'
 "Oh, sure. he axed me if the boss was at home, and said to him, Was his grandmother a monkeyr "-Phila- delphia Telegraph. -.

Puzzled the Irishman.

The Rev. Robert Collyer was a black smith in Germantown. Pa, before he became a preacher, says Success. Once when there was little work at hand he asked a builder in his neighborhood for something to do. The latter re- piled that all he could give him would be job carrying hod.
 "I'm your man." replied the black smith promptly.
 Years afterward, while an imposing edifice was being erected in Chicago for Dr. Collyer. he was standing among the beams watching the prog ress of the work when an Irishman came along with bod of bricks. Dr. Collyer spoke to him, and he paused.
 'This is har-rd work, sor," said the Irishman.
 "I know that we'll" answered Dr. Collyer. "In my day I've carried the bod myself"
 '"The Irishman stared at me an in- stant," said Dr. Collyer in relating the incident, "and then went on his way mumbling something that sounded sus- piciously like, I wouldn't "a belaved tn parson was such a liar'"

 Nearly 500 people went to Monson for the afternoon game. Standing room was at premium on the special train after two box cars had been add ed to the five passenger coaches pro- vided for the occasion Encouraged by the success of the morning, and with sound financial basis to work on, the local speculators made bull market of the situation and secured good line of profits, as the afternoon proved easier than the morning, and resulted in a victory of Il to , for the home team. Cartmill, Monson E favorite pitcher, was batted out of the box and Hess, the imported article, was put in too late to help much. Wade of Holyoke was played in the box for Stafford and made a splendid showing, striking out 12 men. In the fourth inning the Staffords got six men arcess the plate and it was all over for Monson, as they were not allowed to score again. Just to make it little more binding Stafford added three more in the eighth inning. When the boat train arrived in the evening enthusiasms was at fever heat, and the blare of trumpets, report of fireworks and shouts of victory made q din which will not soon be for gotten.

WHEN YOU CAN'T SLEEP.
Just Pretend You Don't want ts ax<
 Youu soon Drop on.

"
 You'H soon DFop On.
 When we are kept awake from Ou fatigue the first thing to do is to say over and over to ourselves that we do not care whether we go to sleep or not, in order to Imbue ourselves with e healthy indifference about It. It will help toward gnining this wholesome indifference to say: ''I am too tired to sleep, and therefore the first thing for me to do is to get rested in order to prepare for sleep. When my brain is well rested 1t will go to sleep: ft can not help 1t. When 1t Is we'll rested it will sleep just as naturally as my lungs breathe or as my heart beats."
 Another thing to remember-and it is very important-is that an overtfred brain needs more than the usual nour- ishment. If you have been awake for an hour and 1t Is three hours after your last meal take half a cup or q cup of hot milk. If you are awake for another two hours take half a cup more. and so, at intervals of about two hours, so long as you are awake throughout the night. Hot milk is nOurishing and a se,Iative- It is not inconvenient to have milk by the side of ones bed. and little saucepan and a spirit lamp.-Leslie's Weekly.

Swimming Boards.

Sandwich swimming boards take their name from the fact that they are used in the Sandwich Islands, and not from their shape, as might be imag- ined. The contrivance Is simply a large coffin shaped board, usually about i've feet in length and from one to two feet in width. It is used especial ly for passing through the surf. In most cases the islands of the Sand wich group are of coral formation and surrounded by dangerous reefs, which make it extremely dangerous to land. By clinging to his swimming board. however, the native has the advantage of being able to use all his strength in propelling himself forward.

A cnIlar nf Rrawn

According to Dr. Johnson, brawn is of uncertain etymology and is term used for the "fleshy or musculous parts" of boar from two to five years old. This semitransparent substance, called sometimes lantern from it's sim ilarity to horn, is a natural shield which protects the sides of the boar and it's vital parts from the tusks of an adversary.
 In brawn making this is placed round the inside of a mold and filled in with prepared meat. After boiling for many hours it is turned out as '"col- lar of brawn."
 In Chaucer's 'Tales" the begging frere" says, "Give us of your brawn, if ye have any," and we read in old rec ords of "brawne royalr' for the kings table at coronation feasts. At the rev. els of the inns of courts 1t was a breakfast dish at Christmas, and it still holds it's own as an accepted dainty.
 Dr. King, the satirist, about 175O in- troduces in his "Art of Cook cry" a eel ebrated cook named Brawn as if to im- ply some connection between the man and the meat.-London Home Notea
 Cold Feet.
 When Dr. John A. Hartwell, better known as Josh" Hartwell, was at Yale he was asked by professor what would happen to patient if his tenn perature were to get as low as possi- ble. "Why, sir," Hartwell gravely re- piled. "he would have cold feet"

Words and Iaean-

Definite words are necessary for the expression of definite ideas; hence sci entific terms have to be employed. A term has one definite meaning which does not change with time. The rush of affairs drifts words from their orig inal meanings. as ships drag their am chors in a gale. but terms sheltered from common use hold to their moor ings forever. The word "Iet." for ex- ample. has drifted in POO years from meaning hinder" until now 1t means permit" but the term .bisect'' has re- mained unaltered in significance for centuries. Record
