season four clubs still had a chance for
the championship-Detro Philadelphia
Athletics, Chicago and Cleveland In
the middle of September the Philadelphia
papers were congratulating the Athletics
on having won the championship The
Athletics at that time were in the
lead and had a schedule of games at
home. But Detroit showed great STAN
ina, and the last eastern trip of the
Tigers was the crowning feat Of
splendid season. Detroit invaded the
enemy's country and returned with a
record of 10 victories one defeat and a
tic. There have been other league races
not decided until the last game. Three
years ago Chesboro's wild pitch gave Bos-

Three Accidents at cIaremont Fair.

Three accidents, two of them serious,
occurred at the Sullivan county fair in
Claremont yesterday Prof" Bonnette,
the balloonist whose home was formerly
in st. Johnsbury, was badly injured and
narrowly escaped death. His balloon
burst at a height of 200 feet and he was
unable to cut away his parachute until
within 100 feet of the ground and then the
parachute failed to open. He fell into the
crowd on Fakirs' row. He was picked
up unconscious and taken to the hospital,
where 1t was found that his back was
badly injured.
In heat of the 2.25 race H. o. Page
of Bennington, N. H., was thrown by his
horse Scoot and dragged a long distance,
sustaining a fractured skull and other
injuries which are likely to result fatally.
David Bentley driver of Blue Ribbon,
was thrown when his horse shied at
piece of paper. He turned a complete
somersault over the sulky wheel, but
escaped with a sprained ankle and
bruises.

This announcement apparently comes at
about the right time. for in the Randolph
Herald and News at hand this morning,
Editor L. B. Johnson presents the name
of Hale *. Darling of Chelsea for the
attorney -generalship-on the understand
ing that Mr.. Fits, the present efficient
attorney general of Vermont, would not
again be a candidate for the office" And
this gives us an opportunity to remark
that there is not apt to be anything slow
or so very wrong-headed about Luther
Johnson when it comes to matters Of
state or local politics.

The Cunarder Lusitania, with practi-

rock. to the Sandy Hook light the official
course over which speed trials are made,
was four days and 20 hours. The last

the trip, the giant liner hitting up her
speed to 25 knots an hour over a smooth

her. The Lusitania beats her time for
her maiden trip by approximately five
hours, her time on that trip being five
days and 81 minutes.

The Greatest JOY.

But lastly, ! remark that one Of the
greatest joys of the Christian Is the
comfort We have in dcdicating our
dear children and our loved ones to
his service. Every true parent knows
that whoa he attempts to- raise fam
fly there comes time when he realizes
he must have supernatural aid. We
feel our children gradually and yet
surely slipping out of our hands. They
are going forth into the great wide
world, with all its manifold tempta
lions. We lit up our hands at times
In agony and cry, 20 God, If We could
only keep them by our Sides But
we cannot. 1t is an overwhelming
thought, but surely and swiftly the
children are moving away from our
side Now comes the question: How
can keep my children in the path Of
virtue and of truth? The Bible tells
me. My God Is "A covenant keeping
God. My God says. II will save thee,
and through thee will save thy chill
dren." He speaks to me exactly as he
spake TO Abraham OF old. lie prom
ises that II we will teach our children
about him, II we set them good ex-
ample and commit them In prayer to
his keeping he will take care of them
and make them his children.
The chief trouble with our spiritual
experience is that We do not come near
enough TO Jesus Christ. We do not

give ourselves up In our entirety to his
service. The reason that we find the
spiritual life burden, an irritnnt and
n troublous duty Is because we are not
developed high enough in the gospel
graccs. My brother, the great trouble
with your religious life is that you are
like timid bather on the beach--afraid
to make one big plunge and go chin
deep and heart deep and brain deep
into the depths of Gods mercy. You
want to love him by inches and not
with your entire being You are like
the rich young rrler-you are not Will
Ing to give all for your Master Friend,
II you would rejoice in the Lord Away.
come closer to the mercy seat. Friend,
II you would have the Pauline rapture,
then leave your sinful self Mt Damas-
Gus and start for yout martyrdcm at
Rome. Unless You and I are willing to
consecrate ourselves to the higher spir
itual life then will the Joy OF the Cos
pei appeal to us in vain. IRE .ioice in
the Lord Away. and again ] say. Re

love to Jesus Christ in order that thou
