 "Now just few words regarding the struggles in New England. The British had determined to separate New Eng land from the middle and Southern col onies by line of forts and guards.
 "IJ was vital to check this if possible General Stark with his little army of Green Mountain Boys had gathered at Bennington to give them battle when pass through that valley and establish a guard there, but Stark had prepared his fresh men for the task. The battle ground was selected on the summit of a sloping hillside with a broad open field before It. A crude stone wall. capped with rails, they selected as fortress Up the valley the British Army ap- preached. AS they approached the slope, Stark sprang over the wall, running out a few feet With a tall stoke in hand and with his giant strength drove it into the ground shouting to his command: The first man that fires a gun before they reach that stake, I'll knock him down. His order was obeyed, they had conf dence in their generation came the Brit ish troops firing as they came but no re- sponse from Stark's men until they reached the stake.

HARD LIFE OF BACHELOR SEAL.
Has Nothing Like So Good q Time
 as Human Counterpart.

This skin," said the furrier. "came from a young seal bachelor, a youth ignorant of love and of life.'
 How do you know?" the lady asked.
 By its fineness, its perfection" he replied. The pile, you will note, is like closecut velvet. Only bachelor sealskins have such a pile.
 The bachelor seal" he vent on, "has a rather sad life. The big bull seals in the seal islands have each a household of 15 or 20 wives, but the young bachelors must herd by themselves. Let one of them attempt to marry, and straightway bull stays him. Not till he is big enough to fight and conquer a bull-not till he is IA or 15 years old-can he know the de- light of settling down in home of his own.
 He is not like the human bachelor, the favorite of the chorus girls, the reveler in all sorts of club luxuries; but he leads a hard, ascetic, celibate life, only in the end, as like as not, to make lady very fine coat. All the very fine coats, repeat, are made from the unhappy bachelor seals"

SMALL BOY oBEYED ORDERS.
But Perhaps Ills Methods of Play Were Too Strenuous.

He is a very small boy. but he has very much smaller sister, wee baby, who arrived only few weeks ago. The small boy was delighted. Never had he seen anything so little or so interesting.
 Could the baby see, could she hear. could she eat, did she have teeth, and why didn't she talk and walk? Those were a few of the questions he asked. Answers not being altogether satisfac. tory, he began personal investiga. ton. He opened the baby's eyes when she was asleep to see where her eyes had gone te, anyway; he opened her mouth in search of teeth, and it was here that the family came to the res. cue, and the small boy was told that he could never visit his baby sister without clasping his hands closely be- hind him.
 He loves the baby so that he stands by the half hour just looking at her." said the proud mother of both youngsters to visitor. And he is so honorable that he never thinks of taking his hands from behind his back. Just come and see him now" But as the two entered the nursery mamma gave a wild scream as she rushed for her baby.
 There was the small boy, his hands clasped tightly behind his back, to be sure, but the baby not having respond ed to his challenge to play, he had taken her silence for consent, and was pumping heads with her.

til the last man was out. Schmid's pitch ing was the feature of the game. Lake vile got but seven hits three of which were made in that first inning and he struck out II men. In the eighth inning Schleiffarth spoiled E. Shocks two base hit by pulling down his long drive to deep left field. It was a beauty and saved the game for Lakeville as B. Shook, Kirby and Brewer followed it up with singles, but poor base running lost the game here and also in the ninth. Here is to better coaching next time and if you don't beleive me look at this.

Why Snow lR Mhlte-

The reason that snow is white ts that all the elementary colors are blended together in the radiance that is thrown off from the surface of the crystals, which may be examined in such way as to detect these colors before they are rNingled together to give the eye the impression ot wilderness.
 The wilderness of the snow is also in some degree referabIe to the quan- tity of air which is left among the frozen particles. Considerably more than a thousand distinct forms of snow crystals have been enumerated. These minute crystals and prisms re- fleet all the compound rays of which white light consists.-Chicago Trib- une.
