Club Last Night 10 to 6.
The Independents were crimped at
Bellows Falls last night 10 to g. The game
was very rough and had few redeeming
features The explanation of the Inde-
pendents' defeat is that the hall was so
small that they had hardly elbow room
as compared with what they are ac-
customed to- making it impossible to do
team work, and they were further handi-
capped by board screens instead of wire
screens. A deciding game probably will
be played in Keene. The summary:

Whimsical Curats.

Much discussion has been caused in

subject of Sunday observance:
'There are many and varied reasons
which keep men away from the house
Of God on Sundays. will tell you a

zone man is counting his pipe, I'M
conscious of the fact that unless there
is a decided change for the better he
will see more smoke one day than he
will care for.
another is counting his paper. fill
ing his mind with all the spicy details
of divorce trials, leaving no room for
thoughts of God.
Another brother is counting his
sweetheart-a pleasant occupation, as
experience has taught me. so perhaps
the less l say on that point the bet
ter. Still, there is time for every
thing. even time to love, so lest you
weary the lass with too much atten-
ton, come to the class on Sunday for a
change.
1T Is remarkable how much men
care for their bodies, and starve their
souls. If this applies to you, my
brother, come and give your soul a

cHINA's EMPRESS DoWAaeR.

Miss Carl Found Her a Woman of I'm
usual Physical and Mental Charm.
As we arrived at 1915, we were in
the throne room few moments before
their majesties appeared. Their en-
trance was so simply made, so unob-
trusive, that the first l knew of it, no
ticing a sudden lull, looked around
and saw a charming little lady, with
brilliant smile, greeting Mrs. Conger
very cordially. One of the ladies', Yu-
Keng. whispered, cher Majesty" but
even after this 1t seemed almost i'm
possible for me TO realize that this
kindly-looking lady, so remarkably
youthful In appearance, with so win
ming a smile, could be the so-called
cruel, implacable tyrant, the redoubt-
able "old" Empress Dowager whose
name had been on the lips OF the
world since 1900. A young man, al
most boyish In appearance, entered
the throne room with her; this was the
Son of Heaven, the Emperor Of China,
After greeting Mrs. Conger, the EN-
press Dowager looked toward me, and
l advanced with a reverence. She met
me halfway and extended her hand
with another brilliant smile, which
quite won me, and l spontaneously
raised her dainty fingers to my lips.
This was not in the protocol program
1t was an involuntary and surprised
tribute on my part to her unexpected
charm. She then turned and, with
graceful gesture, extended her hand
toward the Emperor and murmured,
1.-The Emperor" and watched me
closely while l made his Majesty the
formal reverence. He Acknowledged
the salutation by a slight bow and a
stereotyped smile. but | felt that he.
too. was closely scrutinizing me as his
shrewd glance swept my person. - .
AS this second sitting l looked at
the Empress Dowager critically. 1
feared that the agreeable impression
Of her and OF her personal appearance
that had formed the day before had
probably been too hasty, the result Of
the unusual glamour In which l had
begun the portrait I thought perhaps
the Oriental environment had dazzled
me and prevented my seeing the EN-
press Dowager as she really way, and
l looked forward to a disilluslon. As
she sat there upon the throne, before
abe had transhxed me with her pene-

1 don't know Of anything more con
ductive to comfort on a farm than q
real old grandfather. A farmer who Is
blessed with an old father or father-in,

nothing is forgotten. 1t is he who re-
pairs the old fences, CRAFTS and trims
the trees, pets the animals and is
ready to give good advice whenever
needed.
No family circle is complete with
out a grandfather to poke the fires, to
sit in a corner and tell delightful
stories Of the times when he was a
boy. 1 consider old people so essential
to the comfort of farm life that In case
there are no old fathers and mothers
to live with sons and daughters 1t
would be good Idea to hunt up some
childless old folks and make grand
