FOOTBALL.
The Old Fashioned School Game
 Wherein EyerYhodx Played

The Old Fashioned School Game Wherein Everybody Played.
 There is no such spirit in the school today as in old times. They have q football eleven, it is true, and 1t holds its head well up among it's mates: lit tie above 'em, too, most of the time the old schools the old school yet, ! tell 'em-but, after all, 1t isn't the old game nor the old spirit I go out some times to watch them and think, Well,
 it's a queer game they play now and
 call footballr' They trot out in such
 astonishing toggery-padded and guard
 cd from shin to crown, welted, beIted-
 strapped and buckled beyond recogni-
 ton. And there's no independence In
 the play; every move has to be told
 lem. It's as if they weren't big enough
 to run alone, and so they hire a big
 stepmother of a university coach" who stands round in a red sweater and yells and berates them. Not man an-
 swers back; he doesn't dare to. They
 don't dare eat plain Christian food, but
 have a training table" and diet like
 invalids. I've seen lem at a game not
 dare take plain drink of water. When
 they got thirsty they sucked at a wet sponge, like babes at the bottlel
 It was not so in our day. No apron strings of a university coach were tied to us. We were free born men. When we wanted to play we got together and went down to the old pasture, to the big oak tree that stood near the middle
 of 1t, and there we would choose up" and take off our coats and vests and neckgear and pile them round the oak and walk out on the field and go at it. rybody-not a pitiful dozen or so. while the rest stood with their hands in their pockets and looked on, but ev- erybody! And 1t was football; no play
 ing half an hour without seeing the
 ball in the air once. We kicked 1t all the time except when we missed 1t, and then we kicked the other fellows
 shins. And when we got thirsty we
 went down to the spring and took an
 honest drink out of an honest tin cup.--

CHANGING ONES NAME.
The Method Is a Rather Costly One
 Tm Great Rritafm f-....--


 Many people change their names without asking permission from any one or paying any fees whatever This is certainly the simplest way of get dng rid of name you do not appre- c1ate, but it is apt to prove expensive. For instance, such a course is strictly Illegal, and the government could step In at any time and demand the pay ment of heavy fine; and, further more, if the individual who changed his name without consulting anybody happened to come in for large sum of money unexpectedly the authorities would decline to recognize his claim If he had failed to pay the fees due to the heralds' college for assuming 9 name not given in baptism.
 / There are two ways of changing your name, and they are both rather costly. One method is to have a pri- yate act of parliament passed for your benefit. This course is generally fol- lowed only by peers and people to whom money is no object, for it costs 275O. This nearly all goes in fees to minor officials for bringing your case before the legislature, inasmuch as the actual passing of the bill costs prac- tically nothing. And the only advan- tage you will gain from this expensive way of going to work is that inquiries will not be made into your past history, which by the other alternative are un- avoidable.
 The usual method adopted for legally changing the name is somewhat te- dious, if less costly, and you must have very substantial reasons for so doing or your claim will not be allowed. If, for instance, you inherit property which makes it conditional that you change your name you can do so on payment of about $50 in fees.
 In the first place you must com municate with the home secretary, who, if he considers your claim valid, will refer you to the heralds' college and the king of arms. These officials will make full inquiries into your his- tory and satisfy themselves beyond question that your reason for wishing to make the change is ill every way legitimate. This done, they will again communicate with the home secretary, who will lay your claim before the king, for he alone has power to au- thorize the change being made. Even tually, after some months of waiting, you will be informed by the heralds' college that his majesty has approved of your claim and the change of name is published in a remote corner of the London Gazette. ts
 Finally it is worthy of mention that no one can hold a public appointment under government who h;S' changed his name without the consent of the king, however brilliant may have been his services to the country. The reason for this is rather curious. The name given you at your baptism is in theory ratified by the sovereign as head of the church. and by assuming another on your own responsibility you are delib- frately breaking a law of the land London Tit-Bits.

 mHassom e0 ahe n@r.

mission e0 ahe Bar.
 When John Sherman was quite young he was taken into the law oftice of his brothaE Charles at Mansfield. O.. to help about the office and make him self generally useful One day when he was in his twenty-first year he took Charles one aide and quietly asked him for a loan of so.
 "WhatT Charles exclaimed. "what do you intend doing with so much moneyT
 'I am going to Columbus to be ad- mitted to the bar" John replied.
 Charles was greatly surprised, as John had never asked him for any ad- vice regarding the profession nor had he ever appeared to be interested to any extent in the study Of law.
 You can't be admitted to the bar without some knowledge of the law" said Charles.
 John maintained that he knew more about law than some others and as sured his brother that he would try tG raise the money somewhere.
 You know" he added. ''it will be
  clothes and enough money to pay my travelling and hotel expenses"
 Charles finally ordered the clothes and provided him with the necessary money. At Columbus on the day he became of age John was admitted to the bar. On his return he said to Charles:
 "I am going to Iowa to practice law Charles remonstrated with him.
 'There Is room for both of us to prac- tice law here in MansfeId.~ Charles told him.
 They then and there became partners and continued to practice together un- til the formation of the Republican party. when John was sent from tho Mansfield district as a representative in congress
 Later be was elected to the United States senate. and the balance of his life became a very important and in. teresting part of the history of his country.-Washingto Star.

 The Athletic ball team wish to state relative to their recent game with the West Willingtons, that while they may have expressed them selves with rather more heat than the occasion required, still they feel that the umpire roasted them, and it was almost impossible not to make some comment
 The storm of June was accompa- nied by a hurricane at Mashapaug, which did considerable damage. Sev- eral large trees were blown down on land of Alvarado Howard and one or two on the island of Louis Helm. On J. M. Leach's island there were about Is trees down, including several large ones.

 The last musical service of the season will be held Sunday evening at the Congregational church, when the cantata, 'tThe Holy City," by Alfred R. Gaul, will be rendered by the choir. Several voices will be added to the regular choir, making 8 chorus of good volume. At the morn ing service Rev. E. A. Burnham will preach sermon appropriate to the commencement season on the general subject of the relation of knowledge to progress.
 At meeting of the school commit tee, held last Friday, Messrs. Suender- hauf, O'Connell and Black were ap- pointed committee to purchase coal for the schools. The building and repairs committee was instructed to finish off and fit up room in the high school building for the new commer- cial course to be installed this fall.

It was voted to raise Principal Maynard's salary $1OO for the coming year, making it $11OO.
 It was an of day for the Stafford baseball team last Saturday, and they were defeated for the first time this year. The Somersvilles were the victors by a score of 16 to 10 in an eleven inning game. Both teams fielded poorly, as the number of errors will show. The first part of the game was close, but the Somersvilles soon increased their score until it looked as if they were sure of the game, but the Staffords gradually add ed to their runs until the score was tied in the ninth inning, but in the eleventh they lost all chances of the game. The attendance was over 500.
