Mackey is a much older man than
Phillips and was wrestling when the
soldier was making his proud mother
happy by saying goo geo. but despite
his years, he claims that he is better
now than he has been for a long time.

and he at one time thought he could
throw Tom Jenkins if allowed 10 use
that brutal device. This delusion haunt
ed him for many months and he made
good with his claim against a number
of middleweights until he met Ernest

was allowed and Mackey backed him

Basketball Season Ended.

Wednesdays game was the last of
the season for the Athletics. The trip
which Manager Riley had planned for
next week has been given up for the
reason that the Newport, N. H., team
was anxious to cancel its game. Davey
will join the All American team Mon
day for trip of two weeks through
New England, beginning with game
against the Portsmouth, N. H., profes-
SIGNALS Monday evening. He will then
go to Bradford, Pa, to pitch for the
Bradford team in the Interstate base
ball league. Long will go soon to
Olean, N. Y, to play first base for the
Clean team of the same league. Both
players have done much for basketball
in Brattleboro during the past season,
and all local followers of the game
wish them the best of luck Their
conduct on and off the floor has been
of the best, and they have taken as
much interest in the success of the
team as if their homes were here.

Making Life Worth While.

But one life to live. And we all
want to do our best with it. We all
want to make it strike twelve. The
older we grow the more we are con-
vineed that it is harder to handle than
we thought But we find this is true:
We are unique. There are no two souls
alike. There has never been one like
me. / have no double There are no
two with the same work. What / can
do my neighbor cannot. This puts a
different value on life-my life-your
life. That we are here now is positive
duty. We must not shut our eyes and
fail to see it. From now on we shall
never be too young, too old, or too fee.
BILE to work That we are here is positive
that God has something for us to do
now. Tomorrow morning let us ask
ourselves, What is my work today?
Each new, fresh morning is another
opening for loving service. This is
what makes life worth while. Happy
the one who has found it out for him

Notes Of the Game.

The music of the St. Johnsbury
band was very good-what there was
of it,
Nearly 80 people from Springfield
boarded the Brattleboro special at
Charlestown, n. H., and supported the
Athletics manfully.
II was evident that the st. Johns
bury people expected to win, for they
wagered about $500 of their good mon
ey on the resultant lost, of course.
Among the Dartmouth students who
saw the game was George Schildmiller,
n former Brattleboro boy, who is now
a freshman in the Hanover institution
Howard and Arthur Hough, who for
merly lived in this town, were among
the White River Junction rooters who
wanted TO see victory perch ON the
Brattleboro banner.
Without doubt the most satisfied
man of the st. .Johnsbury delegation
was +. C.. ellison, whose residence IN
that town has not been long enough
TO prevent him from hollering for
Brattleboro.
Manager Riley deserves more than
ordinary credit for taking winning
team TO White River Junction. His
first suggestion was that both sides
play strictly local men, but the 81.
.1ohnsbury management was opposed to
this method, planning, of course, to
win with the help of Dartmouth. How
ever, that college has not yet succeed
ed in cornering the basketball market
1t was certainly amusing to hear a
st. ,Iohnsbury supporter at the close OF
the game make the claim that Company
d was an amateur team. No one has
ever denied that McGovern is sal
aried player, while it is assumed that
Messrs. Beeman- Rix, Johnson-Russ, and
Bankhart did not take part solely for
the benefit which would result to their
constitutions.
Sheriff Angus McCauley, "the man
who hung Mary Rogers, has cause to
think that this end of the state does
not believe in capital punishment. In
attempting to get the crowd of the
| floor Angus became over-excited and
grabbed a youngster with such force
that the boy resented it. Angus certain
lily did not look the part of a minion of
the law and many thought he was
simply an individual who had never
heard that motto, "take someone OF
your size In the middle of the scuf'
file that followed Mr.. McCauley re-
ceived a black eye and badly mutt
lated cheek before he had time to make
the crowd understand what he was
there for. Even then the persons who
did the punching forgot to make
known their identities.

On the Mount.

The newest batch of recruits from
the infant class in Sunday school in
Michigan town seemed hopelessly in
capable of remembering the simplest
question in the quarterly Among
other theological problems about which
they were extremely hazy was the
question of the personnel of the dis
ciples accompanying the Savior when
He assembled the mountain. In order
to sharpen their wits, the teacher tried
the laid to memory" game. A we'll
known and highly respected local citi-
zen had three stalwart sons bearing the
requisite apostolic names. So the teach
err said brightly: CHOW, boys, if you
lust think of the names of the three
older Danhof boys-remember, now,
the three older ones-you can't forget
the names of the disciples.
On "review" day, the urbane super
intendent quizzed each class in turn.
At last came the query: "Can Miss
Lewis IS class tell us what disciples
were with Christ on the mountainP'
The answer was a unanimous response
