STARTED OFF WELL.

Alma opened the foot ball season at
Elsie Saturday, and won an easy victory
over the Giants" 20toO. The day
was not the pleasantest but the field
was IN good condition in spite Of the
hard rain the night before Elsie was
not so strong as last year with but four
of her veterans in the line up, but gave
the varsity good practice. The entire
game was played in Elsie's territory
and Alma's goal was in danger at no
time Of the game.
Alma kicked of to Elsie at the start
off, Elsie lost the ball and Helmer ran
thirty yards for touchdown, in less than
three minutes after the game started.
Captain Schenck kicked goal which was
a difficult one, from the corner of the
field. Alma kicked of again and
added another touchdown to their
talley in five minutes play. The
rest Of the game was simply a repe-
tition of steady gains for the college
team and time was called when the
ball was within two feet Of Elsie's goal
line.
Alma's team was weakened by the
absence Of Angel, who hurt his foot in
kicking during practice the night be-
fore. His place was filled at center by
Horst who played good game. Hell
mer at half and Wilson. left tackle,
both played an excellent game for new
men. AS a whole the team showed up
well and the untiring efforts of Captain
and Coach Wilson are beginning
to bear fruit.
Alma lineup was as follows:
Woodlock, left end; Wilson, left
tackle; Johnson, left guard; Horst,
center; McCollum, right guard Fletcher,
right tackle; Schultz, right end Carr,
quarter; Helmer, left half; Claire, left
half; Schenck, full back Gaunt and
Oasterlin, subs.

And lauds the 'loveliness of line
And color blend in it's design:

Before the spirits secret springs
Were touch'd by that which makes us

Whereby the woodland fiow'rs have life,

And winds, and waters. never dumb.

A Sure Protection.

Barton, N. Oak, May 9th.-Many
cases are being published of how dis
eases have been cured and lives saved
by Dodd's Kidney Pills, but there is
a family in this place who use this
remedy as a protection against the
coming on of diseases and with excel
lent results.
Mr.. w. A. Moffet says: 1--WE have
no very serious illness or complaint
for we always use Dodds Kidney Pills
the very moment we feel the least
symptom of sickness and they soon
put us right. If we have touch of
lame back or think the kidneys are
not right, we take few Dodd's Kid
ney Pills and the symptoms are soon
all gone.
MY brother had diabetes and the
doctor told him he could not live until
spring. | got some Dodd's Kidney
Pills for him, and although that was
several years ago, he has lived

Prescott Was a "Mother's Bow.

Prescott was not only well born
but happily born: His heredity was
nicely fitted to his problem of life.
From his mother Governor Wolcott
thought he derived his "unfailing

there is record of a conversation
at dinner, where Webster, Ticknor,
Sumner and Prescott were present,
among others. The talk turned on the
question, what most vitally shaped
mep's character and activities. Some
said one thing, some another. ''Mr.
Prescott declared that mothers in
fuence was the most potent" He
was a living witness. All the ac
counts which, Ticknor piously gather
ed from Salem contemporaries agree
that the boy William had his bright
vivicity from his mother-Rollo Og-

An "Angry Tree"

There has just been discovered in
the far east a species of the acacia
tree, which closes its leaves together
in coils each day at sunset and curls
its twigs to the shape of pigtails.
After the tree has settled itself thus
for a nights sleep, if touched the
whole thing will flutter as if agitated
or impatient at being disturbed. The
oftener the foliage is molested the
more violent becomes the shaking of
the branches, and at length the tree
emits a nauseating odor, which, if
inhaled for a few moments, causes a
violent dizzy headache. 1t has been
named the angry tree"

Causing Iron to Swim.

Elisha required a stick to make the
ak of iron swim. We have never
learned the properties of that stick.
But there is a pretty trick of causing
pice of iron to swim of it's own
accord. Let it be half inch thick,
say, and two inches square, or have
it round, and perfectly smooth on one
side at least. Place the smooth side
against the perfectly smooth, square
end of an open glass tube, say an inch
and half in diameter, and hold it
there until it and tie tube are low
cred into vessel of water to
depth greater than about eight times
the thickness of the iron. Remove
the hand and the iron will remain
in its place, the upward pressure of
the water preventing its sinking. This
is the principle of the iron ship.
