NEWPORT AGAIN TOO FAST.

Points on the Home Floor While Ath-
Ietlcs Were Getting II.
Eleven points was all the Athletics
managed to make Tuesday night while
Pat Doyle's Newport quintet was rum
ming up a score OF 25. The visitors from
Newport were altogether too fast for the
home team and the exhibition of basket
ball put up by the Brattleboro boys was
way below their average. The game
started off as though both sides meant
to do business with the baskets but after
the first five minutes Newport took
lead and kept on increasing 1t until the
finish Stafford was the only one Of the
home team who seemed to get into the
game and he and Boutwell, each contrib
uted a goal by good long distance shots.
For the visitors Doyle showed that he was
in a class by himself as a basket ball
player, putting the ball in seven times
that were counted and once more that
Referee Howe said would not go. Barra-
clough also showed speed and con-
tributed three baskets to the sum total.
The curtain raiser game between the
Emeralds and the Independents resulted

Raw Meat as a Food for Hens

Those who are familiar with poultry
know with what eagerness they eat raw
meat of any kind This habit indicates
that raw meat is something their nature
demands. There is perhaps no material
better adapted to the needs of fowls
especially in winter-than Green Cut
Bone and Meat ground together. 1t is
not only invigorating but it contains in
form easily assimilated the very ele-
ments required for the making of eggs
1t will make hens lay when everything
else fails.
c. S. Page of Hyde Park VT, will send
a 00-pound barrel of Green Cut Bone and
Meat for $780, freight prepaid, to any
point in New England or Middle States.

BRATTLEBORO LOCAL
RAN AWAY FROM VISITORS.
Athletics Cut out the Fastest Pace Of the
Season and Finished 40 to 10 Ahead Of
Springfield.

Springfield.
The Athletics ran away from the
Springfield, VT, team last Friday night
and piled up a score OF 40 to 10. The
game was too sided to be interesting
as the home team had things their own
way from the start The team work of
the visiting players was no better than
their basket work and the Athletics were
in the best form thus far this year
Cakes was in the game in place OF
Boutwell, who is still unable to play owing
to his injury. Cakes was the biggest
point winner finding the basket seven
times. His shooting was clean and ac-
curate and II luck had been with him
several more baskets would have been
credited to him Davey was back in
dashing form and gave the best exhibition
of all round basket ball this season. He
landed six baskets, played a star passing
game, and Ned his head all the time.
His overhe throws kept his opponent
puzzled and we're the means of winning
several points.
After seeing Stafford play in the earlier
games this season everyone expects him
to do good work and none were dis
appointed. He contributed four baskets
to the home teams record and his inter-
ference was good to LOOK upon. Long was
full Of ginger and surprised the visitors
by the way he caught the ball on their
passes Riley was in the game only for
the first half ana gave place to Trendan
for the second. For the visitors Matthews
was the only one who played the real
game, although Lambert made one pretty
shot into the basket. The score in the
first half was 16 to 4.
The second half was hotter baF Iet
ball, but Cakes, Davey and Stafford
were dropping the ball in so fast that 1t
was merely question Of how high they
could run the score. In the closing three
minutes of the game they added eight
points.

station, but sufficient time has not yet
elapsed to determine what the result
will be. Interesting experiments are
being made with the native fruit
bushes, and new varieties of raspber-
ries, currants and gooseberries will
doubtless be the outcome Of the work
which Is now being successfully car
ried forward. All the hardy vegetables
are grown at the Sitka station, partlcu-
lar attention being paid to the potato
cabbage and caullhower. The people
of the vicinity cooperate with the gov
ernment experlmenters, and aid the
work by supplying reports of the beha-
vior of the seeds supplied by the sta
tion for the use Of residents.
At Copper Center station the work
Is devoted chiefly to grain growing,
though experiments In the production
of grasses and vegetables are also con-
Quoted. Wheat, rye and oats, clover,
peas, beans, turnips and rutabagas
comprise the list commented upon in
the report of Special Agent G. G. Geor-
geson who has charge of the work In
Alaska.
at the station located at Rampant,
one degree south of the arctic circle,
the principal experiments conducted
during last season were directed to-
ward the production of early varieties
of grains, those which mature before
the winter season sets In. The results
are being reached by selection. Seeds
are planted and those first maturing
are selected and planted the next year.
1t somtimes occurs that an unusually
early winter destroys the grains in pro-
cess Of selection and the work has to
be begun again. The hardy varieties of
Russia and England grain are used as
seed. Wheat from Karhoff, Russia and
Finnish black oats are crops which sell
dom fail, even so far north as Ram
part. String beans and peas have been
successfully raised at Rampant station
and all Of the hardy vegetables, par
ships, carrots, potatoes and rutabagas
have also matured there; thus far the
potatoes have shown the best results.
AS at Sltka seeds are distributed. the
people coming many miles to obtain
them.
The station at Kenai, where formerly
experiments in grain growing were con-
Quoted, is now given over to dairying
and the growing Of feed. A herd Of
Galloway cattle was introduced last
spring, and from this station interest
Ing reports may be expected concerning
the raising of cattle In Alaska, as the
Galloways are said to be particularly
adapted to the climate of the district.

ROMANTIC ROCKS HOLD STORY.

UniOntown, with It's Beautiful COun-
try, Recalls Polly WiIliams' Fate.
Among the many romantic spots In
Western Pennsylvania none Is better
known, perhaps, than White Rocks,
near Uniontown. This particular spot
was made famous by Philip Rogers
willfully casting Polly Williams, to
whom he was engaged, down the face
of the rocks into the dark depths be-
low, causing her death. This event,
which occurred in August, 1910, has
been done up In song and story, but
the plain facts have never been related
more clearly than by Charles B. Pen
nington. of Carmichaels, Pa.
Polly Williams parents moved from
Fayette County, Pa, into Ohio" said
Mr.. Pennington, leaving Polly In the
care of nelghbor family, to be mar
ried to her betrayer, Philip Rogers.
The couple stole Off together one day,
she from where she was staying and
he from his work, believe, at an un-
cle's, and met at an appointed place.
She, 1t is supposed, was under the inn
preston that he was going to take her
to preacher to be married. Some
time afterwsrd couple of girls were
gathering huckleberries at the White
Rocks and noticed small piece Of
clothing on bush near the edge Of
rock. They looked over the preci-
pice and saw dead person lying be-
low, which, on investigation, proved to
be Polly Williams.
Rogers owed his freedom from JUS
tice to the efforts of his lawyer, but 1t
Is said that he lived very miserable
life, and some who knew him said he
scarcely ever slept, but would lie in
bed and chew tobacco all through the
night "-Pittsburg Gazette-Times.

The clock on MarJorie's bureau licked

talk with them about the dreadfulness
Of hiding things from mamma.

each other!

ISLANDS ovERRUN BY DEER.
Come to the Doors and Farmers Can
Only Shoe Them Away,

Come to the Doors and Farmers Can
Only Shoe Them Away.
Farmers on Orcas, WILDLY, Lopez
and Mercer islands have grown weary
shooing the deer away from their
crops, and are demanding the privilege
Of exterminating the deer on the ISL
ands. Either this action or they will
have to move back to town and give
over the islands to the wild game.
1t Is claimed by the farming inter-
ests that the bill making game pre-
serves Of the four islands was all very
well in the days when these spots were
not settled by an Industrious class that
Is now tilling the soil. Then 1t made no
difference whether they were drivn into
the water by hunters.
Now that Oscas, WILDLY, Lopez and
Mercer Islands have become thickly
settled the deer have become a nui-
sance. Mercer Island lies In Lake
Washington within stones throw of
the States metropolis, but the deer are
absolute in their control, as If the spot
was located near Mount Tacoma.
1t does not make any difference how
much money is spent by the settlers
and city farmers on the Improvement
Of their places, the deer drift In and eat
up whatever suits their fancy, and the
farmers are helpless. All they can do
Is to shoe away the invaders, and if
they will not shoe the farmer may, in
his desperation, take the deer by the
horns and lead him outside the in
closure. But he has no privilege in law
of using violence in dealing with the
deer pest
One or two residents on Mercer ISL
and tried to be rid of the deer. 1t is
related that one industrious citizen who
found the deer eating up his cabbage
patch killed one and the game warden
Immediately placed him under arrest.
That the courts subsequently freed
him Is no consolation. The farmers in
the deer-infested regions want the
privilege of fighting to preserve their
fireside from invasion by the voracious
deer.-Walla Walla Statesman.

Indian Cure for Neuralgia.

Here is simple method of curing
facial neuralgia. If the neuralgia is
in the right side Of the face the left
hand should be placed in a basin of
water as hot as can be borne. Or if
neuralgia Is in the left side of the face
then the right hand should be placed
in the hot water. 1t is asserted that in
this way relief may be obtained in less
than FIVE minutes. The explanation Is
that the two nerves which have the
greatest number of tactile nerve end
ings are the fifth and the median
nerves. AS the fibers Of these two
nerves cross any impulse conveyed to
the left hand will affect the right side
Of the face, or II applied to the right
hand will affect the left side of the
face. This is on account of the cross
ing of the cords.-East Indian Re

The experiments at the Sitka station
are now devoted chiefly to horticulture,
and the work carried on there may be
grouped into two classes: First, the
introduction. propagation and testing
of fruit trees and fruit bushes, with a
view to ascertaining which sorts can

and second, the testing OF varieties Of
vegetables best suited to the climate
and soil In various parts of the district.
Among the fruit trees the apple has
