Bi-State League.
The double header between Chico
pee Falls and Stafford at the fair
grounds were the only games played
in the Bi-State league last Saturday.
The other games we're prevented by
rain. Stafford won both. In the
first both teams hit the ball in the
first inning, each scoring two runs.
Monroe settled down to work in the
second and prevented the visitors from
scoring again until the sixth. The
Staffords had the game we'll in hand
after the first inning. Forbes was in
the box for Chicopee Falls and was
very wild, especially at critical times.
I'm the eighth, with three men on
bases, he passed run in ON balls.
1t was slow game and day of acct
dents. Smith, while at bat in the
third, received severe blow by the
ball on the cheek. He was obliged
to leave the game, but was able to
fill his position in the second game.
Several other players we're slightly
injured at different times during the
games. The features were the field
ing of Driscoll and the hitting by
Monroe. Driscou and Ferguson. A
threatening shower held off long
enough for the first game to be fin
ished, but broke soon after the second
game was started, making a delay Of
nearly half an hour. The grounds
were quite muddy, but President Hall
and Manager O'Connell did their best
to keep the players supplied with dry
balls, and with Stafford in the lead
the game was continued long enough
for Ohicopee Falls to finish it's half
of the Ave innings. Monroe pitched
both games for Stafford. Forbes start
ed to continue to stand up before the
Stafford batters, but after two runs
had been scored the storm came to his
assistance before the first inning was
finished When the clouds had rolled
away Crane, pitcher ON the local high
school team last season, was placed in
the box. It was hard place for a
young player and he was quite wild,
but the Staffords only made two hits
off from him. Scores = ri.

George f. Kenney. at one time ASST
stant teacher in the Hitchcock free
academy in Brimfield, has been en-
gagged to fill the office of principal
in that institution. Mr.. Kenney
came to Brimfeld for his first two
years of teaching on his graduation
from Boston university in 1890. He
gave excellent satisfaction, and re-
signed to take position as assistant
with larger work and responsibilities
in Norwich free academy in Norwich,
OF. There he remained three years,
when he obtained the principalship
of the high school in Rockland, Me.
From there he went to Amsterdam,
N. Y, as principal of the high
school, where he remained four years.
In 1900 he became principal of the
high school in Plymouth, resigning
last year to take year of rest with
the study of music. Mr.. Kenney has
always been deeply interested in
music, and throughout his student
life and school administration and
teaching he has been able to success
fully maintain that interest, together
with his regular work. While in COL
lege he was leader of the college glee
club and conducted a church choir.
When in Brimfield he contributed
much to the musical interests of the
academy and town. In Norwich and
Plymouth he was choir master, and
in the latter town combined with this
Office that of organist. He has con-
Quoted large choruses in Plymouth,
giving such productions as Trow-
BRIDGES oratoria, Emmanuel, :"
Gaul's "Holy City," Gounod's "Gal-
liza" and Haydn's "Creation. q" He
is also proficient cello player, hav-
ing begun the study of that instru-
ment under Wulf Fries some years
ago, and having continued it's study
especially during the past year Mr..
Kenney's work as an instructor in
Brimfield was characterized by
thoroughness as we'll as breadth, and
he added the teaching of elocution and
gymnastics to the regular curriculum.
In Norwich he had charge of the bust :
ness course in the academy, which de-
partment of study has been added to
the corriculum of the Hitchcock acad-
emy in the last few years. Mr..
Kenney's resignation from the Ply
mouth high school was much regret
ted, but considerations of health made
q years rest imperative. Fairly in
the summer he expected to go to Port
land, Or, as principal of the high
school, but was influenced in his de-
cision to remain east by his unwilling
ness to leave his mother, who is ad-
vanced in years. Mr.. Kenney is 80
years of age, and was born in Spring
field, VT, where he spends the sum.
mers in his old home. His father was
Francis H. Kenney of that town,
who was in Go. e of the 18th regi-
ment ofVerm0nt volunteers. He was
graduated from the Springfield (Vt.
high school in 1886, and received the
degree of A. B. from Boston univer-
sity in 1890. He was married during
his principalship in Rockland to Miss
Lillian Newhall, who had been a
fellow student in Boston university.

Where the Rich Red Roses Bloom

There's quaint old fashioned garden,
Miles and miles and miles away,
Where the clouds drop gentle showers
And the sunbeams love to stay;
There the daffodils come early,
Seeking out some sheltered spot,
And close by, all through the sum-
mer,
Blooms the forget-me-not
There the hollyhocks in season,
Tall and stiff and stately grow,
And the heart ease raise their faces
From the modest hooks below;
But pass each subtle charmer,
Heeding not the sweet perfume,
Hast ming till my footsteps lead me
Where the rich red roses bloom.
How love their velvet petals
How love their hearts of gold,
And the plump round buds nigh burst
With the promises they hold!
n
Years ago 1 left that garden
Left those blossoms that loved,
And with slow, reluctant footsteps,
West, and westward still, have
moved
Seen the places where wild roses
Many tinted, crowd the ground,
Filling with a flood of fragrance
All the atmosphere around;- =
Seen them wildly reaching upward
Like tall trees toward the sky,
With a million fair -hued blossoms
Haunting charms to tempt the
eye;-
Seen the places where they Chamber
High to drape the rocky wall,
And with softly swaying tendrills
Beat the time the zephrys call; -
Seen them where the Frost King never
Lays on them his blighting hand,
Where their prodigal profusion
Glorifies the Sunset Land
I have seen this regal beauty;
I have felt the magic spell,
Yet, the while, my spirit wandered
Back to where I used to dwell,
And I'd gladly give these millions
Rioting in rare perfume,
For one blossom from that garden
Where the rich red roses bloom.

SUNDAY MAGAZINE for JANUARY 7. 1906

Now that you begin to understand,
you see that it doesn't matter whether
l am guessing the name of the child
Only the names vary with the times. We
expect to find boys now named Ed and
Clarence, but for revolutionary ancestor
we look for a more dignihed name
though of course this is not an infallible
rule. But when Ben tapped six times
for his ancestors name, | knew | had to
ask for the first letter, for there are more
names of six letters than any other num-
Der Then he told me A, and | was
baffled again; for among six-letter names
are Arthur, Albert Arnold Andrew,
Alfred, Archie, Austin and many others.
But they are best got at by knowing the
third letter. So when he said the third
letter was D, l knew it was Andrew,
for l can't think of any other name that
fulf11s the conditions.
So you see it is sometimes easy to
guess a name, and sometimes difficult.
But if you make some failures, they are
always forgiven, because you are sure
to make more successes. Long names
are the easiest. If girl taps nine letters,
and you find out that the first letter is
E, you can safely say Elizabeth at once.
But if it is five letters, beginning with E,
you are at sea among Elsie, Ellie, Edith,
Ethel, Eliza, Effie, Ellen and many more.
In such a case pretend that you can't
clearly see the third letter When you
get this, it will generally indicate the
whole name. If not, you must ask for
another letter.
" But usually, if you know the number
of letters, the initial and one other letter,
you can be sure of the name"

take part in the opening of the

Behind the King, clad in his best, but
looking drab and sorry amid the brilliant
costumes round him, Nigel himself, re-
gardless of an aching body and a twisted
knee, waited upon his royal guests, who
threw many merry jest at him over
their shoulders as they still chuckled at
the adventure of the bridge.

is founded on a good knowledge of all
names. And the first point is the num-
Der of letters in a name. That is of course
told to me by the number of taps on my
palm. The next thing is to get the first
letter. For beginners, it is better to
ask the first letter right out, as that is
great help"
But you told Marguerite's name at
once, without knowing the first letter. ]"
That was a lucky chance. When she
tapped ten times | felt pretty sure her
name was Marguerite, for that is the most
popular of the few names that contain
ten letters. Indeed, the others are such
as Christabe1 and Wilhelmina, and are
uncommon. But to be sure, | asked her
if the fourth letter was not G., and when
she said yes, l knew the name. Then
Ben tapped eight times. Now there are
a good many boys names of eight letters,
so | had to ask the first letter When he
said B, | thought it must be Benjamin,
but in order to make no mistake | went
along slowly, found there were two Ms
in his name, and then was ready to
announce it"
Il begin to see through it," said Lucy;
but nobody could learn all the names
in the world"
You don't have to, my child You'd
be surprised to know how few names are
in general use. And the long or short
names are easy to guess. For instance,
when l received only two taps from
boy, knew it was Ed or Al, as there are
no other usual names of two letters. So
l asked if it began with A, and when
he said no, | announced it as Ed. OF
course l might have been mistaken, but
| was more than likely to be right.
