Woodstock High Wins Inning
Game.

Woodstock High Wins 13-Inning
Game.
Woodstock High school closed its
season Saturday by winning l3-
inning battle with Windsor High,
the game starting about l0a. m. and
running into the early afternoon.
Spectators went dinnerless to watch
the proceedings, the contest being
one of the longest and closest pulled
off on Vail field.
Ransome was the big boy with the
stick for Woodstock, making four
hits in six times at bat.
Liberty and Taylor worked to-
gether well for the Encouragement
of the visiting batsmen, Buck and
Cabot doing Windsor's battery work
Woodstock got in one run in the
third and two more the fourth, but
couldn't seem to gain much further
Roadway.
The Windsors got one run at a
time, and at the end of the eighth
inning the score stood 3 to 3.
Neither side scored in the 10th.
In the 18th Woodstock got two
hits and base on balls, but double
play headed off a run. The suspense
began to tell on the spectators and
players, Taylor waving at three
widely pitched balls. Was he ex-
cited? He was. But he made good
Immediately, as the story will show.
In the 18th Windsor scored twice
on two singles and Tinkham's error.
Things looked threatening for Wood
stock. Spaulding went out. How
land hit safe, and stole second. Cope
land was out on fly. Tinkham hit,
scored Rowland, and stole two bases.
Taylor (here's where he made good)
drove the ball into the grass, sending
Tinkham home and tying the score.
Cleveland was out in trying for
home.
In the 18th, Windsor got a man as
far as second base.
Phelps, for Woodstock, got base
on balls. Ransome hit safe one to
right field and Mr.. Phelps beat it
home from first, which was going
some. The score;

Monday, June %, at 9 a. m. under
the direction of Mr.. L. w. Wahlstrom
of New York City.
The class for out-of-town pupils
will meet on Friday forenoons from
9-l2. This class proved so popular
last summer as to tax the capacity of
the school. 1t is probable that an
additional class will be formed this
year to accommodate those pupils.
A new feature to be added this
year will be special class for the
older boys, II to 10 years. This
class will be open only to the most
proficient boys and the products of
their work will be of a commercial
nature; that is, instead Of each boy
making individual articles for his
own use, the boys will work together,
producing in quantities useful ar
ticles for sale. In this way it is ex-
pected that some of the boys in the
village may turn their spare time
and skill into cash this summer.
Mr.. Wahlstrom will be at the
school on Saturday, June 20, to
register pupils for the summer, when
he will be glad to meet all pupils
both old and new, as well as parents
who wish to make arrangements for
their children. Out-of-town pupils
who may not find it convenient to
call may dreP him postal card.
FREE TUITION TO TEACHERS
The teachers of the state are
again offered the privileges of the
school this year, tuition free, and it is
hoped that many will accept the in
vitation to join the classes.

WASTING THE PEOPLES MONEY.
Republican Extravagance Shown In
Condition Of Treasury.


The fiscal year just closed makes a
disastrous showing for Republican
policies on financial and political eco
nomy. Last fall the secretary of the
treasury, in his estimates for congress,
said there would be a surplus revenue
for the yea of $42, 900, 900, but the fact
is there is a deficiency of nearly $780,
900, 900. The experts of the United
States treasury were evidently unable
to see, or refused for political reasons
to notice, that the tide had turned and
the taxpayers were no longer able to
pay, as they had been doing. High
tariff taxes had killed the goose that
had been laying golden eggs for the
trusts, and a panic resulted.
In spite of this falling of
in the evenue of the government, the
Republican party in congress persist
ed in trying to prove that Republican
policies produced prosperity by max
ing even more ~extravagant appropria-
tons than ever before, so that the
amount exceeded $1,OOS, OOO, 900. That
vast sum was appropriated for ex-
penses for one year, namely, from
July 1, 1908, to June 30, 1909.
1t is only a few years ago that the
whole country was startled when 1t
discovered that the taxpayers were
burdened by a billion-dollar congress,
whereas now when this present con-
gress adiourns on March A next it will
be called a two billion congress, for
the Republicans seem utterly unable
to reduce expenses.
How great the deficiency will be for
the fiscal year just begun cannot be
accurately estimated, but that it will
exceed the deficiency for the year just
closed is most probable, and may be
much greater.
Such great extravaganza and such a
falling off in revenue may result in
the secretary of the treasury refusing
to redeem the United States bonds
now due drawing three per cent, al
though the National banks now hole
over $3.50, 600, 900 Of government de
posits.
This strange financial policy of pay
ing interest, while at the same time
having the money on hand to pay thu
principal would be regarded as thu
act of a spendthrift, if a private indi
vidual. Yet that seems to be the Graz!
policy of this strenuous Republican
administration.

Marduerites.

In the drawing room of a New York
hostess a very dainty nutty wafer
was served, which was so much en-
joyed with the five o'clock tea that the
hostess was led to explain the history
of her marguerites. These were SIM
ply thin crackers spread thickly with
the following mixture: Take a cupful
OF finely chopped nuts-pecans, Eng
lish walnuts and a~lmonds-and put
them into the well-beaten white of an
egg, to which enough sugar has been
ADDED to make a thick icing. Spread
on the crackers and brown Slightly in
the oven. The story was that these
dainties were made after an old navy
rule, valued because the waters kept
well, being ever fresh and ready for
use during long voyages.

Well Groomed Hands.

A we'll groomed hand is a rarity,
even though many people are careful
about the nails. The hands show age
much quicker than the face, for few
people spend as much time on the
hands as they do on the face, and
then the hands are in water more than
the face, with the result that they are
drier and more apt to wrinkle. Soft
and white hands are best acquired by
night treatment. Use a toilet cream
that agrees with the skin, and rub 1t in
thoroughly before retiring, being espe-
cially careful to rub and massage the
knuckles well. Then slip on a loose
pair of gloves to keep the cream on
the hands. Red hands are caused by
poor circulation and often by tight
cuffs or bracelets. Small gloves often
make the hands red and leave marks
on them from the seams in the gloves.
The only way to effect a cure is to
remove the cause.

Hot Weather Politics.

Congressman Littlefield, whom the
Republican leaders had such great
work to elect against the onslaught of
the labor leaders, has now determined
to resign in September. He does not
appear to get along any more com
fortably with President Roosevelt and
his policies than he did with organ
lied labor. He declares the Repub-
lican platform and the boasts of the
president on the enforcement of the
antitrust law to be but proclamation
and not performance" for Gut seven
minor convictions have been secured
since President Roosevelt succeeded
to the presidency, September IA, 1901.
With Littlefield and Foraker, the two
most forcible Republican speakers,
pouring in hot shot on the tanks of
the Republicans and the labor legions
fighting them in front, neither the
president mol Candidate Taft can feel
very comfortable this hot weather.
There Is a fair chance that the Re-
publicans will be disorganized before
V e the Democrats are ready to at
tack them.

China That Pleases.

To select from ones stock of china
and pottery the pieces which are truly
decorative and suitable for placing on
plate rails and racks requires some
discrimination. A dainty little Ores
den piece will fail entirely in this
sort of mission, while a plate may be
picked up occasionally at the ten
cent stores that is a gem in a deco
rative sense. The Brittany peasant
ware is inexpensive, and some of the
blue and white 50-cent souvenir
Wedgewood and Staffordshire plates
make a satisfactory show for the
money. In fact, they car hardly be
equaled in decorative quality. Blue
and white Dedham plates against a
mustard yellow wall paper and bright
red and green cocktail plates, as we'll
as the peasant pottery, are well placed
against a pale sage green ground, Heir,
loom plates of the period from 1900
to 1910 will not fail to please, and the
best of all is the rare old blue Canton,

Associations Formed to Preserve the
Little Timber Remaining.

Fire insurance for forests is a nov
clty. In the Pacific northwest the
Washington Forest Fire association
has elected officers and begun work
with 1900, 900 acres under it's charge.
The plans include a system OF patrol
by rangers resembling the work done
by the United States forest service
in warding off and putting out hres'
Oregon and Idaho have similar or
SANITATION for like work. In Idaho
the state treasury pays out that part
Of the expense, which is borne by tax
alton. A western railroad company
has large holdings in timber land and
is carrying out successfully plans for
guarding them against fire. At the
other end Of the continent Maine owns
ers of forests have undertaken similar
plans to protect the trees from their
great adversary, fire. In other parts
Of the country similar need Is feit
for protecting the forests from fire, as
Il evidenced by the establishment OF
like organizations in different sections
