hours Wednesday was unconscious most
of the time until her death. She was one
of the most charming women in St. ohns-
bury. a home maker of the old fashioned
type. Her unsel6sh spirit and never tail
ing thoughtfulness of Others made her

nature was an inspiration to all who
knew her.

Basket Ball Notes.

Gus Kruger, the sturdy guard signed
by Manager Gray, is the only man in the
lineup OF this years team, who comes as
an entire stranger TO St. Johnsbury.
But if the reports from towns where he
has played can be depended upon he
won't be very long getting in right with
the local fans.
The new team, as given out by the
management, certainly looks good on
paper. With three six footers to do the
rushing and three guards like Swenson,
Callahan and Kruger to keep the other
fellows of, it doesn't look as though we
need to worry great deal
In Mr. Gray's letter last week we read
considerable about what some of the
new team had done elsewhere, but we
