Discovers Telegraph Equipment

Dear Aunt Laurie:
When l was at my grandmas for a
few days l asked my auntie if might
go up in the garret and hunt up some
things to make clothes for my doll.
While l was hunting around for the
clothes / saw some wires and batteries
stacked up on a shelf in one end of the
garret, and getting curious ] COM
menced to examine things more closely.
saw a table with rows of wires cor
nected with batteries and some little
round things, but didn't know what
they were, but knew they belonged to
my uncle, who has a wireless telegraph,
because he has a flagpole on the roof
of the house which is sixty-five feet
high above the roof with wires running
from it with hoops on them to the attic.
While l was wondering what to do with
all the wires and batteries my auntie
came up in the garret to see if l had
found some things suitable for doll
clothes, and explained to me what the
wires and batteries were for, and told
me never to touch such things again,
as ] would get very severe shock If
/ touched the wrong wires So that is
what found in the garet besides cloth

Interesting Gowns

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Lost year, when l was back in To-
ledo, Ohio, / visited my great-grand-
mother
One day it was very cold and rainy
and l was lonesome, so my aunt told
me to go up into the garret and try to
amuse myself When / got up there
saw a spinning wheel, old trunks full
of old letters and papers, old-fashioned
chairs and peculiar dresses of all sorts.
Among some of the articles was an
old blue china silk dress. 1t was very
full. There must have been thirteen
or fourteen yards in it. 1t had a bertha
on it and around the edge of it was
black silk lace which was five or six
inches wide. The waist part was made
very plain, and around the edge of the
sleeve was a ruffie; on the rutfies was
black silk lace.
/ wanted to know who wore it, and
when, so / asked my aunt, who said
that my grandmother wore it on
her golden wedding anniversary.

Dear Aunt Laurie:
1t was a rainy day and I went to my
granGma's for dinner. That afternoon
I thought 1 would take a look around
the house / went out to the barn and
from there to the cellar Now that L
was in the lowest part of the house, 1
thought / would go to the very high
est part of the house. 1t was a mon
sterous house. l climbed into the gar

two bayonets. One had U. S. and
was three-eornered, with brass tip.
The other was plain one with moth
ing on it. / got them down and asked

Many Faded Letters

Dear Aunt Laurie:
The garret I was in had very curl
Gus articles in it. My grandmother al
ways told me when it rained to go up
in the garret and amuse myself.
There were all kinds of old-fashioned
chairs. clocks, dresses and many other
things. Grandmother had an old spin
ming wheel. 1t was very interesting to
me. There were old trunks with old
bonnets and very funny dresses in
them. I saw the hoops that the ladies
used to wear long years ago. 1t was
very interesting to see such things.
When the rainy days came [ would
go up into the garret and spend nearly
all my time looking at things. MY
grandmother had two or three boxes
of old letters. l could hardly read
them, they were so dim.
There was one curious article. 1t was
an old dress that grandmother used to
wear 1t had a tucked waist. The
sleeves were a yard wide. The lace
that was on the sleeves and on the
neck was twenty-five inches wide. The
skirt was made full so that it would
go over the hoops. 1t was pink china
silk and was very beautiful.

Shakespeare Proves Interesting

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One day my chum and / went up into
my grandmother's garret. We started
to dig in an old chest. Pretty soon we
unearthed a lot of silverware with the
date of 1400 on them.
In another chest we unearthed box
of pearls and some silks. In another
box we found some old tools used by
my grandmother father. In another
chest we found piles of books and
poems.
We took out volume of Browning

Grandmother Displays Treasures

Dear Aunt Laurie:
One day I was up in the garret, and
wondered whatwas inside of it. l said
l will go downstairs and ask grandma
to open it.
When she opened it I saw the pret-
tiest books, and her doll that she had
when she was a little girl. There was
a pretty little tablecloth that her moth
er had given her. She told me about
the things that she had kept.
Her mother always taught her to
keep everything nice that she had, and
when she got old and had grandchildren
she could show them all the nice things
she had when she was a little girl

SEASON OPENS
WITH 2 GAMES
OF FOOTBALL
PENSACOLA HIGH SCHOOL WINS
FROM 5REWToN, WHILE MO-
BILE DEFEATS THE CLASSICAL
SCHOOL ELEVEN IN TWO WELL
PLAYED GAMES AT PALMETTO
BEACH.

1t is very seldom that a city or town
gets the chance OF seeing a double
header football game. II is also very
seldom that two such games OF foot
ball as were put up yesterday after
noon by the two teams OF the city
against foreign opponents are wit
messed. That Is, Of course. taking
into consideration the fact that every
member OF the four different squads
were high school men and all practi-
cally green at the game.
Notwithstanding these two facts, il
was a very small crowd that witnessed
the opening of the football season in
Pensacola. Although the people of
the city did not go out to lend their
help 10 their two representative high
school teams as they should have. yet
both squads did good battle for the
honor of their home town and for
their respective schools. The small
crowd that was present, however, kept
up q continual din of Classical and
High School yells. and some of the
lustiest cheers that were given for
the High School were from the Clas-
steal School side and vice versa.
There was no intermission between
the four halves that were played,

When Gray, the Quaker Health
Teacher, was seen yesterday at the
Drug Store of Hannah Bros, he stated
he was greatly pleased with the
praise that had been bestowed on the
Quaker preparation. People who
have had occasion to investigate are
surprised by the large number OF
suffering and affected citizens who
have called on me in this city. While
this may seem unusual to the ma
jority, it only bears out the old say
ing that one-half the world does not
know how the other half lives; so it
is with the healthy man and his sick
brother and when so many people
come TO me and tell me that the Quak-
er Remedies have helped them, II
gives me great pleasure, for l have Il
pretty good idea of the suffering that
there is in this country.

owing to the fact that as soon as the
first two teams finished their first
half, the other two teams ook pos
session OF the field. The same ar
rangement was carried out in respect
TO the second halves of both games.
Thus. one or the other OF the home
teams were In the field all the time.
Both games were interesting from
start to finish, and at times very ex-
citing.
Classical School Game.
The representatives from the CIas-
steal School and the squad from the
University Military School of Mobile
opened the double-headeT. Capt. Vim
son. of the Classicals, won the toss
and chose TO defend the west goal and
receive the kick-off. On the kickoff
the hall fell safely into his arms and
he advanced about twenty yards be
fore being dOwned. The game was
then on. The ball aIternated from
one end of the field to the other for
some minutes. Mobile at last got pos
session of the ball on their fOrty-five
yard line and by a series of hard line
plungeS succeeded in advancing Il to
the Classicals' ten yard line. Here
the Classical bunch made a stand and
held them for downs. Captain Vim
son was forced to kick The kick
was blocked and a Mobile man recov-
cred the ball on the vineyard line. He
measured his length and the first
touchdown was made. The try at
goal failed. Neither team was able
to score again during this half.
THE SECOND HALF.
The second half opened with Mobile
defending the west goal. Here il was
that Mobile made its second touch
down. Curry received the KICKOFF
and advanced the ball about fifteen
yards. Just as he was tackled he
succeeded in pulling off a nice back
ward pass to Capt. Hays, who ran
the rest of the length OF the field for
touchdown. The try at goal again
failed.
This ended the scoring. The CIas-
steal School fellows took 3 brace at
this time and for a few minutes it
looked as If they were going TO sue
coed in scoring. Time after time
they made the required distance.
After carrying the ball fifty yards
down the field by a series of end runs
and forward passes. they lost ii on a

HIGH SCHOOL GAME.
The members of the High School
squad were more successful than the
Classical School bunch. The first
half opened with Brewton receiving
the kick-off in the western half of the
field. They were forced to kick in a
few minutes, the High School receiv-
, ing the ball on their twenty-yard line.
| The ball was advanced steadily down
to the middle of the field. Here Cole
man got away with a beautiful run
around left for the remainder of the
| distance to the goal, making Pensa-
| cola's first touchdown. The try at
! goal failed. For the remainder of
/ the half there was no scoring, al
| though Coleman again got the ball
over the goal line but was called back
/ as he had gone ont of bounds when
! the play started. Not only the score
| but the playing in this half on the
! part Of the High School was far SUI
| perior to that Of the Brewton squad.
THE SECOND HALF.
| The escOnd half was very much like
| the first half. Both abounded in long
end runs which Melted long gains.
Brewton braced considerably in this
| half and made the required distance
| time after time. But their line could
not withstand the heavy line plunges
/ OF Shuttleworth when Pensacola had
! the ball. Shuttleworth made the
| second touchdown for the High
/ School after a series of nice gains
through the line and around the ends
! The goal was kicked. This last half
was quite slow, as the captains of
both teams were continually calling
