ball. a wild pitch and another passed ball,
and hit safe in the sixth, stole second and
scored on an error. He saw first five time-
and scored four runs, the strong bate
back of him helping him around.
In the game with Syracuse Friday, I. Y.
NJ. again won, ! to O, scoring its ninth
straight victory. remarkable feature OF
the game was that but one man on either
team saw third and that was Kibby.
Vermont won in the first inning, when
Kibby was dug in the ribs by almost the
first ball pitched. In the second game
with Syracuse Saturday, the great feature
Of the game was the batting OF ktbby,
who smashed out four clean ones, the best
good for four bags.
Another Randolph boy, who is winning
baseball laurels, is Henry Palmer Lewis IN
Porto Rico. Last year he happened TO be
in san Juan day when a game was due
and PLAYED on one OF the teams. This
year he IS teaching at Toa Bata, two and
half hours ride from San juan which ne
again visited and was hailed BY the man
ager OF the Red DIS as man much needed
IN that nine to turn the tide OF luck
which had been setting against them. III
seems that there are three principal clubs
in the island. the Interiors, the Iransits
and the Red DIS, the latter an aggregation
of less skillful players than composed the
other two, and to the winning team OF
this small league the governor OF Porto
Rico had offered the prize OF silver, gold
lined cup. After Mr.. Lewis joined the
Red DIS as pitcher, the prospects OF that
club began to brighten until now 1t IS the
champion. with cup already secured, even
should ii lose the last three games re-
naming to be played.
Evidently the governor Of Porto Rico
has a shrewd surmise that the national
game. introduced and carefully fosteredi
will be powerful factor in Americanizing
the island.

An Unslehtly Wreck.

A ruin. overgrown with ivy and con-
nected with a stored past, may be very
picturesque object in Europe, though a
tidy New England housekeeper would
probably prefer it thoroughly repaired
ana cleaned, but an old tumble-down
bandstand on the main street of neat,
we'll kept village awskens no historic as
sociations and certainly has no aesthetic
value.
lis rotten timbers, broken seats and
generally shattered air suggest TO
stranger that a community tolerating such
a wreck IN so conspicuous a place as the
High school yard cannot be one in which
musical talent is unduly fiattered by pub
lie attention or in which band concerts OF
a summer evening are extrayagantly en-
Nevertheless, We object to having our
musical culture or our civic pride in APP
pearances judged by that decaying monu-
ment to our carelessness. we are eN-
tremely fond Of music ana will listen to
the band most happily as long a. it can be
persuaded to play, standing up. We will
even follow il through the streets, and try
to keep il on its legs and footing harmo-
niously as long as possible by liberal APP
plause.
In applause we are always liberal; that,
like kind words and smiles, doesn't cost
ANYTHING, and we are perfectly willing 10
lavish 1t on organizations and individuals
that are able to stand up. Should they at
I tempt to sit down on US, enthusiastic en-
coring might cease abruptly.
As matter az fact this village ought to
/ have bandstand worthy of its excellent
/ band, with provision made for open-air
/ concerts on stated evenings during the
/ summer. We have a body OF musicians
capa bic of giving Us program OF instru-
mental selections. which It would be more
/ than a pleasure TO hear, but 1t hardly
/ seems probable that after hard day
work they can often feel like spending an
evening on their feet blowing horns for
our free amusement.
/ Randolph Center has a handsome new
/ bandstand that would be a credit to any
place and ought to be duplicated in incor-
porated Randolph. At least, let us plant
woodbIne to Irvine around the tipsy struc-
ture in the High school yard and partially
I conceal its ugIiness from view, or erase II

LAWYER Pays for Bad Advice.

Consul.General Gueunther says in a
report that German lawyers are liable
In damages to their clients for evil
results consequent upon misleading
advice. The Supreme Court OF Ger
many has recently rendered decis.'
ion that an attorney is liable to his
client to the full extent for carelessly
giving incorrect advice.
The court held that the attorney
who for pay gives his client in legal
matters advice as to certain conduct
and procedure is liable for the legal
consequences suffered by the client In
acting thereon, provided that such ad-
vice is not only faulty, but has been,
proved to have been given carelessly.,
An attorney tacitly assumes the po-''
sition of debtor Of the client, which
obliges him to be careSul in giving
advice, and he is therefore liable for
it's consequences if he has failed
through carelessness.-New York

To be such successful w11e, to rc

If woman finds that her energies

she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, whites, irreg-
Elarities or the blues, she should start
at once to build up her system by a

Value of an Emlarant.

Old DR.. Farr, the late SuperiHen.
dent of Statistics in the ofice of the
Registrar-General. made an estimate,
of the money value Of man on tho
bases of the capitalized value OF his
probable net future earnings. On the
basis of the agricultural laborer,s:
wages at that time, he calculated that
each individual-man, woman ana
child-was on an average worth about
e110 to the country. In the same
wav he calculated that the emigrants
of that time, because OF the larger
proportion Of adult males than In the
general population, was worth an
average of about s170 to the coun-
try.
Since the date when these calcula-
lions were made by Dr.. Farr wages
have risen, and the future earnings
have been increased by the greater
average length Of life. It Is probable.
therefore. that the average value q
an emigrant at the present time is not
less than s2oo and Of a family OF
four persons about S800.
The emigration Of 5000 families
would thus mean loss of about four
million sterling in the capital value
of the population of this country re-
garded merely as profit making ma
chines.-Saturday Review.

Accent on the Operate Stage.


M Englishman with daughters
could do a rasher thing than permit
them to take lessons from eminent
professors with a view OF going on
the stage. The opera stage in Eng
land scarcely exists. At Covent ar
den a woman who can speak good
English can only get in by force OF So
cial influence, and abroad foreigner
has very great difficulty because she
cannot speak or sing with a perfect
accent. The foreign lady or gentle
man comes across here and on oc-
casion will venture to sing in English,
and their mistakes bring nothing more
than a smile to the faces Of the audi
ence. But let an English singer go to
France or Germany and something to-
tally different happens.
In 1897 Tamagno sang at Monte
Carlo before an audience which was
mainly French. He mispronounced
a word, and a peal OF derisive laugh
ter covered even his stentorlan notes.
In Brussels I heard an American
tenor laughed at because some OF his
vowels were not quite pure-Brussels,
where their French is the most vii
famous patois have ever neard. In
Germany I have heard both French
and English artists laughed at be-
cause their accent was not absolutely
correct. Saturday Review.

A PROCLAMATION
Issued by President Roosevelt Desig.
mating November Thirtieth as
Thanksgiving Day.

President Roosevelt, Thursday, is
sued his proclamation naming Novem-
Der 80 as a day for Thanksgiving. The
proclamation is as follows:
When nearly three centuries ago
the first settlers came to the country
which has now become. this republic,
they fronted not only hardship, but
terrible risk to their lives In those
grim years the custom grew OF set
ting apart one day in each year for
a special service of thanksgiving to
the Almighty for preserving the reo-
pie throughout the changing seasons.
The custom has now become ma
tional and hallowed by immemoriai
usage We live in easier and moro
plentiful times than Our forefathers,
the men who with rugged strength
faced the rugged days; and yet the
dangers to national life are quite as
great now as at any previous time
in our history. 1t is eminently fitting
that once a year our people should
set apart a day for praise and thanks
giving to the Giver of Good, and at
the same time that they express their
:hankfulness for the abundant mercies
received, should manfully acknowledge
their shortcomings and pledge them
selves solemnly and in good faith to
strive to overcome them.
During the past year we have been
blessed with bountiful crops. Our busi-
ness prosperity has been great. No
other people has ever stood on as high
i level Of material well being as ours
stands now. We are not threatened
by foes from without. The foes from
whom we should pray to be delivered
are our own passions, appetites and
follies; and against these there is al
ways need that we should war.
Therefore, I now set apart Thurs
day, the Goth day Of this November,
as a. day Of thanksgiving for the past
and of prayer for the future, and on
that day I ask that throughout the
land the people gather in their homes
and places of worship, and in render
ing thanks unto the Most High for
the manifold blessings of the past year
consecrate themselves to life Ut
cleanliness, honor and wisdom, so that
this nation may do its allotted work
on the earth, In g. manner worthy OF
those who founded it and OF those
who preserved it.
In witness thereof, I have hereun-
o set my hand and caused the seal
Of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city Of washington,
this second Of November, in the year
of our Lord one thousand nine hun
dred and five, and Of the independence
Of the United States, the one hundred
and thirtieth.

OLD FASHIONED FARE:
Hot Biscuits, Griddle Cakes, Pies and
Puddings.

The food that made the fathers
strong is sometimes unfit for the chill
1dren under the new conditions that our
changing civilization is constantly
bringing in. One Of Mr.. Bryan's neigh
bors in the great State Of Nebraska
writes:
"I was raised in the South, where
hot biscuits, griddle cakes. pies ana
puddings are eaten at almost every
meal. and by the time located In Ne
braska found myself sufferer from
indigestion and its attendant ills-dis-
tress and pains after meals. an almost
constant headache, dull, heavy sleepa-
ness by day and sleeplessness at night,
loss of flesh, impaired memory, etc., etc.,
Il was rapidly becoming incapaei-
tated for business when L valued friend
suggested O change in my diet, the
abandonment Of heavy. rich stuff and
the use of Grape-Nuts food. fol-
lowed the good advice and shall always
be thankful that did so.
"Whatever may be the experience
of others, the beneficial effects or the
change were apparent in my case al
most Immediately. Ny stomach. which
had rejected other food for so long, took
to Grape-Nuts most kindly; in day
or two my headache was gone. began
to sleep healthfully and before a week
was out the scales showed that my lost
weight was coming back. My memory
was restored with the renewed V1gor
that felt in body and mind. For three
years now Grape-Nuts food has Kept
me in prime condition, and propose it
shall for the rest Of my days.
"And, by the way, my 215 year old
baby is as fond of Grape-Nuts as am,
always insists on having it. 1t keeps
her as healthy and hearty as they make
them" Name given by Postum Co..
