wealth and beauty to the country.

School Notes
BY CLAUDE WOODWARD.

The debating team was chosen
Monday to meet the Lewiston
high school at that place in Febru
airy. Some dissatisfaction is being
shown in the school on account of
the choise Of both the professors
and the debaters. The professors
chose two and those two chose
third. Otto Nail, Fred Suren and
Ralph Sco6eld were chosen. 1t
was generally understood in the
school, that Ralph Williams would
be chosen as one but in choosing
it seems as though he was com
pletely overlooked, which should
not have been, for he has, by far,
the strongest voice of the four,
and can argue with the best of
them. If there had been a general
try out as it was announced there
would be he would, with little
doubt, have been the first chosen,
but as it is they have left their best
debater out and will have a much
weaker team than they otherwise
would. One who was chosen, as
the third, was recommended by
the professors for the reason that
they thought it would. stimulate a
desire for study. The team is a
very good one however and viii
make good showing when they
meet the Lewiston team, though if
thep had chosen their team in the
usual way they would had a much
better show of winning Mr.. Will

There was a good deal of excite

} count of the foot ball game today
in which all Of the pupils are more
or less interested. About eight
O'Clock Monday night some of the
, Ironclads hoisted their flag over
} the school house and cut the rope.
1t was soon discovered and the
Invincibles, in some mysterious
way, pulled it down and put theirs
up in such way that it was very
hard to get it down. The Iron
clads let it fly till Tuesday after
noon when they got the school
boards permission to pull it down
when the black and yellow sup
porters were in school and could
not help it. The Ironclads were
greatly surprised when they saw
the yellow and black Tuesday
morning for they put their colors
up after dark and didn't think
they would be discovered.
At least two thirds of the high
school pupils will be ont today,
and nearly all of them will veal
black and yellow.
The Ironclad supporters gave
the team reception in the literary
hall Tuesday night. A good time
is reported.
There will be no school tomor'
row.

Stamps In Slot Machines.

Slot machines for the selling of stamps
and postal cards have been placed in the
postoffice of several cities for exhibition
purposes, and to demonstrate their uses
to the officials of the department. The
machines are after the pattern of the
chewing gum and chocolate machines,
worked by putting in coin and receiv-
ing stamp or postal card in return. 1t
place stamp clerk.
These machines are now in pratical
use by the postal authorities in Germany
and France, where they have met with
great success, and FROM the favorable i'm
preston they have so far made upon the
postal authorities of this country il is
likely that in few months they will be
adopted, and then, at the various post
Offices in the larger cities throughout the
country, two or more such machines will
be placed for the selling of stamps and
postal cards.
The machines are for the selling of one
aud two-cent stamps and postal cards.
A separate machine is used for each
article. A powerful magnet plays an
important part in the passing of the coin
through the machine.
The inventor says the magnets aud
other mechanism make II impossible to
use counterfeit coin in the machine.
One point about the new machines
which, as explained by the official, is
likely to prove unpopular. is that it is
impossible to buy less than 10 cents
worth of the the stamps. as tae machine
will only work by the insertion of dime.
