The small boy is keeping in touch
with the advance of the spring season,
and regulating his sports accordingly.
The marble season which has been in
full swing for the past few weeks, is
now on the wane and new form of
amusement is now found in the bean
blower. The 1905 model of this instru-
ment of torture is provided with a
wooden mOuthpiece. which makes il
possible for the operator to project a
bean to considerable distance, and
while the craze is on, the chances are
good for the unsuspecting pedestrian
catching a sample of this toothsome
vegetable. which was intended for a
far more legitimate use, in the ear at
almost any time.

An example of some of the pranks
which electricity will play was shown
at the foot Of Winthrop hill. Satur-
day afternoon. One of the electric light
wires which had been put under
ground, crosses the street just east of
the railroad. and it is supposed that
the wire had been thrown upward by
the frost, so that it came near the sur
face. The ground being wet, it be-
came charged with electricity, so that
when a horse passed over it, he would
get shock enough to set him jumping,
and the sparks would fly from the
horses shoes in great shape. Nothing
serious occurred, however, until one
of the American Express Cos. teams
came across Commercial street, lad
ed with matter for train No. 102. Some
of the people at the crossing told the
driver that if he drove his team up be-
tween the stone walk at the foot of
the hill and the hydrant at the end of
the store room he could probably reach
the platform all right. When he did so.
the horse got shock that made him
tlpmble and he came near falling.
while 9 stream of sparks flew from his
shoes. The driver, ChaS. Dill, in trying
to escape, pulled the horse round SO
that he went on to the stones, which
freed him from his dangerous position.
The horse could not be moved from the
stones, however. until some one cut
the wire, and the express matter could
not be put aboard the train. 1t was
the first instance of the kind that oc-
Cured in the city.

The snow has gone very fast for the
past few days. The southerly wind Of
Friday, together with the rain of Sat-
urday. and the spring-like air Of yes
terday, ate it up to such an extent that
bare ground is visible in many places
around the city. In the country, how
ever, it is said that the snow is still
deep. The ice, too, is getting very
weak, so large open places have APP
peaTed along the water front, and with
the strong current that is running in
the river below the dam. one or two
warm days will make a decided
change in the appearance of the Ken
nebec in the vicinity of Augusta. Some
of the river men look for the ice to be-
gone from the river about April 10.

ZiDa Fl. Keene, who lives on the Cow
road, has something IN the line of a
freak of nature, which is attracting
great deal Of attention Just at present.
Mr.. Keene is a stone mason by trade.
but lives on n farm, and among the
stock which he keeps are several cows.
One Of them. Jersey. which Mr. Keene
secured at the Pope farm, in Manches-
ter, dropped 4 calf several DAVIS ago
and this calf is the something allud-
ed to. At casual glance the yOungster
might not be noticed from other calves
of that breed except that he is a lit
tie smaller, but on closer examination
points are noticed in which he differs
materially. Along the back. shoulders
and hips he DIVORCES in shape from the
well known outlines Of calfhood. and
when it comes to the tail, that useful
appcndage is decidedly. abbreviated
The tail, in fact. is noticeably like the
tail of Il deer. The legs. too. are very
slender and the hoofs unlike the
rounded hOofs of the COW, are perfect
deer hoofs sharp. pointed and black.
The head is the well shaped head of n
calf. with the exception of the ears,
W here the characteristics of the deer
are again apparent, the ears being long
ana pointed. and set upright. instead of
nearly horizontal, as in the case Of
calves. The calf also has the faculty of
turning one ear back and the other for
ward. while listening like the deer. As
to the cause of the conlbina ton of deer
and Jersey. Mr.. Keene is at present at
a loss FOR an explanation. and the only
possible reason that he can offer for the
peculiar appearance of the calf is the
fact that while the cattle were at pas
ture. last season a couple of deer ming
led with them all summer. He will raise
the calf just to see how it will turn
out.

Dolson this morning and found him sitting in his

at times is wandering and considerably childish.

very comfortable one. n n \ The Baptist

THE FOOTBALL GAME
Played Last Saturday Resulted as
Foiiows: Audubon S. Carroll o.

Last Saturday the Carroll high
illusions with the local warriors upon
indicated. The place and weather were
ideal for the sport and one of the best
games ever seen upon the local, was
played. Carroll's aggregationl looked
husky and the anvil chorus from the
knockers club at once predicted
grief and trouble in store for the local
high school boys. And the Carroll
boys can play football too as is shown
by their record and by the difficulty
the boys had in scoring upon them.
They were in the game at all times,
playing with snap and dash, and bar
ring an occasional looseness of in.
reference they put up a strong often
sive game. Audubon's playing showed
a marked Improvement over that Of
the early part of the season. The
plays were gotten off with speed and
the interference was all that could be
desired. The hurry up' and the
helping spirit was present at all times
and the result will show its merit
But then it was no walkaway and not
until within less than half minute
of the call of time in the first half were
the Audubon boys able to force the
ball across the goal line for the only
score of the game. While the teams
were very evenly matched, Audubon
showed its superiority by keeping the
ball in Carroll's territory all of the
first half and during part of the
last half. Audubon won the toss and
kicked off to Carroll at the south
goal. During the first Is minutes of
play the ball changed hands rapidly
on account of fumbles and losses on
downs. When within less than %
yards of their own goal line Carroll
was held for downs and lost the ball.
Here is where Carroll made mistake
in not punting the ball to the middle
of the field. BY series of mass and
tackle plays Audubon forced the ball
across the goal line and failed to kick
goal. During the second half the
play surged up and down the field
with little advantage on either side.
No further scoring resulted. Capt.
Kile put up star game for Audubon,
running the plays we'll and being a
whirlwind in breaking up interference.
| Ray Green seldom failed to make his
gain and was hard man to stop.
Law put up fine defensive game.
The high school girls we're out in
force and with their colors and yells
made inspiring and enthusiastic
rooters. The girls take the prize ia

we wendell our way from the field OF

echoing in our ears, we kept repeat.

the reflection that you are to risk your lives, or

time, for establishing upon lasting foundation
the liberties of one quarter Of the globe.

Should you desert the common at this

America, will reproach and blush to them

But there are other motives before your homes

You have noted the patriotic sentiment in which
the call for the convention was worded, and
notice with what trumpet call to arms the con-

those of Pennsylvania but to all the colonies and
to Great Britain herself
After the election of these officers it was then
