try TO keep Dick away long enough
for him (Dave) to take his place IN
the boat. But the plans of the
mightiest oft 90 astray and just as
the boys are going ont for final pun,
Dick enters and answers to his name
As for the race itself, nothing on
the stage at the present time can
equal il for mechanical perfection
The entire race Is shown. The two
boats, Harvard and Yale, are seen
nose aud nose. Harvard pulls ahead
Further and further she draws from
her rival. Her stern is ahead OF the
Yale boat. The race seems doomed.
II ~ happens that, as he was going
down into the Yale boat, Dick is pro
sented with a flower by the fair Dor
othy. As they are rowing away IN do
spair. Dick remembers the rose, Glanc
| ing ahead he sees how far they are
behind and makes an effort to lessen
the distance between the two boats.
They creep up little by little, until
the boats are almost side by side. Both
are ready for final squirt. Dick
flower burns into his flesh. Quicker
and quicker the stroke. Harder and
harder he pushes his men. II seems as
if they made no Roadway. With a SUI
perhuman effort he pushes the pace up,
up, up. The men seem to faint with
the strain. Great drops of water burst
from their foreheads, their thighs,
their arms, mouths twitch and eyes
bulge. Tongues Toll out and necks are
rigidly turned upward. There is bit
of gain Now the boats are side by
side. The strain is terrible to see.
Muscles swell to unnatural proper
tons. Arteries well-nigh burst. One
greater effort is necessary. Faster and
faster ply the oars. The two boats
seem glued together. Can il BET Yes,
the Yale boat gains. Once more the
BOYS strain with renewed effort and,
IS they creep up to the line the Yale
boat pushes ahead and wins the race.
No more exciting scene has ever been
presented on the American stage than
this race scene. 1t always receives
lalf n dozen curtain calls.

which appeared in the Globe theater,

MANAGER JIMMIE" DORIAN.
Holyoke Basketball Player to Have
Charge of Local Team.

James +. Doran of Holyoke, Mass,
who is well known in Brattleboro as
basketball player, has decided to take
the management of a local team for
this season and will start a subscrip'
ton paper within few days for the
purpose of raising funds enough to
warrant organizing a strictly first
class aggregation. Mr.. Doran feels
that in order to satisfy the Brattle-
boro basketball fans it will be neces-
sary to have as fast a quintet as there
is in New England and it is just such
a team that he intends to put on the
local floor. He already has signed
Sears, who played last season on the
Delphis of Bristol, Conn, and before
that was a member of the fast Hol-
yoke bunch, Boggio, who was the
star forward of the st. Jeromes and
Turner's Falls teams last year, Stat
ford, Cakes and Boutwell, or Ellis.
Doran himself will also be in the game
and ought to add much strength to
the team as he is in better condition
than ever this fall.
Manager -DOran plans to open the
season in Brattleboro with games
Thanksgiving afternoon and evening
but it is possible that he may start
the ball rolling week earlier. St.
Johnsbury is planning on having the
strongest basketball team in the state
this year and Doran will have to
hustle to get together a team strong
enough to keep the state championship
down here. Doyle, who helped Brat
tleboro win the championship last sea-
son and afterward was mobbed on
the local floor together with the re-
mainder of the Newport On. H.
bunch, will be with st. Johnsbury this
year. Alec Gion, another Newport
player, is going to manage team in
Springfield, Vt.

Should Be on Broader Basis.

The committee appointed by the direc-
tors of the Brattleboro Young Men S
Christian association to close the rooms
and sell or store the property, expects to
have the rooms vacated by the end of the
coming week. The woman's auxiliary,
which has decided to carry ON its work as
usual, has made an arrangement whereby
it will hold regular meetings in the rooms
occupied by the Woman's Christian tenn
pelance union in Emerson building on Ell
lot street, and the directors of the asso-
citation have decided to allow the women
to use such of the association property as
they wish and will move it to the Emer-
son building. An offer has been received
for the poo-table and some of the remain.
ing property, and practically all of it will
be sold except the 400 campchairs used
at the open-air meetings on the common.
These will be stored for the present. The
proprietor of the building has generously
promised to make no charge for rent alter
the rooms are actually vacated. The di-
rectors are not in position to make a
definite statement of the finances of the
association, but it seems probable that
there will be a debt of 5000 or more. No
decision has been reached relative to the
recommendation made at a recent public
meeting that subscriptions be solicited as
usual with a view to creating building
fund, but it is practically certain that
the organization will not resume active
work until it can be done in new build
ing. In other places in Vermont where
association work has been suspended there
is now public demand for its resump-
ton, and it is confidently expected that
the same need will be felt in Brattleboro
within a few years. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that when the work is resumed
it may be under modified test of active
membership. Such modification has
been requested of the international COM
mittee by the Vermont associations, and
it will be brought up at the international
convention in Washington next month,
but whether the petitions from one state
alone will prevail remains to be SEEM

A Strong Savings Institu-
ton

The strength of a Savings Bank
depends not alone on the size of
it's deposits nor the number of it's
depositors. 1t depends rather
upon the kind of securities in
which the management invest
their funds aud the care with
which these securities are looked
after, The Dandy Mirror evil
IDENTIFY thinks these conditions
are well met in the Hyde Park
(Vt.) Savings Bank. 1t says:
Beginning July LIST, the Lamoille County
Savings Bank and Trust 90. of Hyde Park,
VT, will pay four per cent. interest on de-
posts remaining in its care for year or
more. This is a particularly strong savings
institution, and during its existence has in
vested the money of its depositors wholly
in the state and has never lost dollar.
Hon. Carroll s. Page, one Of the most able
business men in Vermont and the state s
honored Ex-Governor, is president of the
bank-the kind of a president who knows
at all times how the affairs Of the bank are
being conducted, and is ever active in pro-
noting its interests and protecting its de.
positors against possible loss.

The Best Food to Make Hens Lay.

The extremely high prices that have
prevailed for eggs during the past few
years have emphasized more than ever
the need of some food to make hens lay
IN cold weather. The best is none too
good, especially when it can be obtained
at moderate price. G. II. Whyland of
Valcour N. Y, expresses his ideas on
the subject in the following letter. He
says: 81 think Pages Perfected Poultry
Food is the best food to make hens lay
that is on the market"

By means of a steel-hned irrigation canal
engineers are preparing to give water to
a district in Egypt near Assuan which
has been dry and parched for 5000 or
1000 years. The soil is saline, and for this
reason it is necessary to wash the ground
fol from three to four weeks before any
crops can be grown upon it. When first
wet, the ground swells and rises about
six inches, afterward subsiding from one
foot to two feet.

HUNTER WAS WITHIN THE LAW
Springfield Man Visited by officers in
South Londonderry.

County Fish and Game Warden Ros-
well L. Frost and Deputy Sheriff M.
P. Davis proceeded in all possible
haste by automobile to South London
derry Monday to apprehend Homer l..
Bosworth of Springfield, Mass, for al
legged violation of the fish and game
laws. The charge against Mr.. Bos-
worth was hunting in this state under
a license bought of Harry Halves OF
Springfield, Mass. The officers arrived
in Londonderry at 3 O'Clock but were
obliged to wait until 6 o'clock before
their supposed victim came IN from
the hunt. When the officers demand
ed his license Mr.. Bosworth quickly
produced the desired document but to
the chagrin of the upholders of the
law the license was found to be regu-
lar in every respect. No apologies
would be accepted but like a true
sportsman the hunter declared that
the officers had done their duty and
done it well.
The facts of the case show that a
letter from State Commissioner G. IL.
Thomas was written Oct. II to War
den Frost saying that license had
been issued to Homer L. Bosworth by
William C. Newton of Brattleboro and
that it had been bought of Harry
Halves of Springfield, Mass. Mr.. Frost
was directed to apprehend and prose
cute Mr.. Bosworth for hunting under
a license not his own. On learning of
the whereabouts of Mr.. Bosworth and
thinking that the man might slip
through his fingers Mr.. Frost procured
a warrant for his arrest and lost no
time in having it served.
No doubt the error as to the sale OF
the license was on the part of Mr.
Newton. The coupon returned to the
state commissioner states the name of
the hunter, his occupation, height,
weight, color of eyes, hair, the caliber
of gun and its maker. Mr. Bosworth
told Mr.. Newton that the gun was
bought of Harry Halves but no doubt
the entry showed that it was the Ii
cense and not the gun that was bought
of Mr.. Halves. So far as keeping with
in the law, it might be stated that Mr..
Bosworth applied for a license in
Londonderry but was unable to get
one on account of the lack of blanks
on which to make one out. Thereupon
he was put to the trouble of coming
to Brattleboro in order to be able to
hunt legally.
No blame whatever rests on Mr..
Fro-aes., He did as he was ordered and

Some kind-hearted member of the Audubon Society ought to go out and tell the birds of Middle Alabama that Thanksgiying Dav Is coming. and they should get farther into the woods. They are handing out one hunters license after another at the Probate Office.
 Thanksgiving Day is the biggest hunting day of the year in Alabama The Frenchman says that when the Englishman wakes up and finds the sun shining, he says, 'It's a me day. Let's go out and kill something.
 The American. being a much busier man that the Englishman, has to watch his chances to kill something. He has to look for the time. when killing something will not interfere with ms business.
 It has come to pass that ThanksEiv- ing Day is the great American hunting day, especially in the South. Every dog and every gun will be put to work next Thursday. The evening trains on Wednesday and the morning trains on Thursday will be dotted with hunters. and the baggage coaches will be filled with bird dogs. The gun store people are already doing 8 big business.

Monroe Street Is to become a social and literary center. Stop that laugh ing. Honest it is.
 Hasn't the Monroe Street Social and Literary Club been formed? It makes no difference if a bar keeper is pres- ident of the club and, another bar keeper is its secretary. The club plainly specifies that it's purpose is the 'social and literary advancement of it's members Doesn't that sound nicer Some people would intimate that 2 new club was being formed in view of the approach of State wide prohibition. but the clubs petition for charter filed with the Probate Judge of Mont gomery County scorns such srbase in- situation.
 The club has secured It's incorpora- tion papers all right. The club and it's petition complied with all the nec- essary laws and the papers were granted yesterday. It has ten mem. bers, a president, a vice-president and secretary.
 The application for the charter de cIares that the club has no pecunfary aspirations, and therefore no stock il l issued. It's purposes are purely in- tellectual. when 1t has advanced ths | social and literary interests" of iti members, it's work will have been ac.

ON CONSTITUTIONAL GROUNDS

legal attack on the constitutional- ,9y of the local option act was prevent ed by the passage of the statutory pro hibition act.
 1t is not known from exactly what source the attack would have come but 1t is certain that a number of law yers believed that the bill was consti- tutionally defective because of some omission in It's passage. It was charged that in the various stages of It's pas sages. the bill failed to meet all the requirements laid down by the consti- tuition.
 This was frequently charged in coun- ties in which local option elections were held between the passage or the act and it's displacement by the state prohibition bill. The Advertiser was Tn receipt of one or more letters. due to such statements. in which requests were made to follow the passage of the bill as recorded In the legislative jour nals. Letters of the same sort were received by the Secretary of State.
 One or two lawyers looked into the matter. Those who investigated the Saffairs of the bill were inclined to think there was enough doubt about the mat ter to hang law suit on, but 1t could not be said with any certainty that the bill failed in any of its details or being constitutional.
 But the anti-prohibifionists would undoubtedly have tested 1t had not the prohibition bill come along and made alch action futile.
 It is even said that preparations to that end were being made when the : Legislature reconvened and adopted the iron-clad prohibition act.

Monroe Street Planning on N
 Acquiring Literary Honors

Still the suspicion will finger in some breasts that Monroe Street. vul- garIy called .swhiskey Avenue" is get ting ready for prohibition. Monroe Street in the past has not been given much to books. Most of the literary arguments have taken place over pool table. although rumor has 1t that paste- boards passing over green cloths are not entirely unknown on that thor ou ghfare, where literature Is to be the chief study of the future. In the past literary arguments have become fso heated that points, were made with billiard cues or keen knives.
 The fancy drink never had much
 vogue on Monroe Street. A slug of the straight stun or . glass of nigger gin
 were favorites along the bar studded avenue. It Is supposed that Monroe Streets literary tastes will also run to the substantials--the classics and strong mental food rather than to ero-
 tic literature of the xbsen or Materlinci type. No intimatfon was given in the In corporation papers as to the time ol the program of the first literary enter | tainment of the Monroe Street Socia and Literary Club.
 The officers of the club are: H. Al | len, President; George K. Jackson Vice President, and Willie Thomas Secretary.

 and Goes Over.

Wade Hampton Hunter. lwho killed T. J. Sumrall, was to have been tried yesterday in the City Court of Mont- gomery, but owing to the absence of important witnesses the case went over until Friday.
 The tragedy occurred in . saloon in North Montgomery. Both men were boilermakers. The work of the two mechanics in the Montgomery railroad shops here bore indirectly upon the tragedy. The two men while in the saloon renewed .sa old quarrel and Sumra1l was shot.
 Hunter was held for trial after q preliminary hearing for murder and his case was set down for the capital week of the fail term of ths Montgom- cry City Court. Capital week began yesterday and Hunters case was the first on the docket. The case will be called again Friday with every pros pect that 1t will go to trial.
