pie In tho world who have every adj
vantage and accomplish nothing.
There are a few who have none and
accomplish a great deal Dick was
one OF the latter kind. With his jack
knife he whitfield out a model Of a
machine be had contriyed, and when
be had put 1t together, his face light
ing up with the enthusiasm OF genius,
he took 1t to his father.
It has been often said OF boy In
derision that he knows more than his
father This could be truly said Of
Dick. The poor fellow was crushed at
seeing bis parent give bis model kick
that reduced IT to fragments. saying:
I'm have no boy about me who will
spend his time at such foolish things"
In order to keep bis son from fool
ish things and enable him to earn an
honest living he appointed bis son to
Tom Hogan, blacksmith. Dick took
with him The remains Of the model hts
father had broken up and after his
days work was done spent bis time
putting It together, replacing those
parts that were beyond repair with
new ones. When be had it finished
be began to think what be should do
with It. He had seen 1t kicked 10
pieces once aud didn't fancy running
the risk Of having It destroyed again
However, Hogan was a kind master.
and Dick finally concluded to let him
have a look at II. He not only let him
see It, but showed him how It worked.
The little fellow demonstrated his
machine, absorbed IN its clumsy mo-
lions. for IT was but an imperfect af-
fair, occasionally looking up tfmidly,
remembering the last kicking It got
and fearing another now calling at
tention to some defect that needed
improvement now to one that, after
much thought and experiment, had
been overcome, at all times showing
that zeal necessary to the breaking
down Of obstacles which stand IN the
way Of the accomplishment OF great
results.
The blacksmith looked down on his
apprentice and his eontrivance. a sin
gular expression on his face as he
compared what he could do with his
siedge with the results to be achieved
by the boys ingenious invention, now
and again turning from the machine
to Dick, his eye resting on the young
face with curious wonder
The next chapter IN this simple story
is the boy experimenting the consruc-

model. the cost OF which was provided
BY his master, the blacksmith, who
had now become his friend and patron.

Agricultural Wonder d The west.

The agricultural wonder Of the West

grass yields several crops during the

for animals. Those who have not seen
alfalfa growing may have read The a-

the agricultural department Of Kansas,
Mr.. Coburn. It is now believed that al

had been invented and constructed.
Wealth was now within the grasp Of
the two, who became partners. The
blacksmith furnished the means fol-

him portion OF the profits. But this

We have pictured Dick looking up al

looking down on the young inventor.
There was third picture. the father

PAID BALL TEAM
PLANNED FOR
NEXT YEAR
Fans Believe That Scheme Is
Financially Feasible
MEETING CALLED TONIGHT
All Interested in Baseball Requested
to Be at Foresters' Hall at
O'Clock This Evening

The meeting to be held at Fores
ters' Hall this evening, 1t is hoped
will be attended by every one who
has the interest of the baseball asso-
citation at heart. The team has Just
closed the most successful season in
the history of baseball in Bennington
and If the association receives the
support this evening to which it is en-
titled, plans may be inaugurated for
an even more successful campaign
next year.
1t is the belief of many who have
watched the games during the recent
season that 1t would be possible TO
maintain a paid team in Bennington
next year on plans similar to those
used in Pittsfield and North Adams.
The attendance at the games during
the season just closed would seem to
warrant that belief During some
weeks of the past season more money
was paid to players on the individual
game plan than would have been re-
quired to maintain a paid team
On the plan of paying players for
each game the out-of-town trips have
always been made at a loss. while
with the salaried team, these games
would have all netted a profit
Advocates of a salaried team main
tain that a season of three, months
June July and August, can be carried
out in Bennington with as good sup
port as was given the association dur
ing the recent season. Just what ac-
ton will be taken depends largely on
the size of the attendance at the
meeting this evening and the amount

AL |E Ma TON SUIT
FOR DAMAGES
OF $4,000
Former Wife Charges Present
Mrs. J. w. Morrow
LIVING AT NORTH BENNINGTON
Parties Formerly Lived in Burlington
Where Plaintiff Obtained Divorce
in Sensational Trial

Suit has been brought. through the
legal firm of Bennett 4 Graves by
Mrs Almeda Morrow of Troy against
Mrs Grace Richards Morrow. the pre-
sent wife of DR.. j. w. Morrow of
North Bennington claiming $4,000 for
alienation of affections. There is al
so another suit brought by the plain
tiff against the doctor himself to re-
cover the face of a note which the
physician refuses to pay.
The defendant in the alienation
case was formerly a stenographer in
the Office of Dr. Morrow when he was
conducting business i'm Burlington.
Mrs. Almeda Morrow was granted
divorce from the doctor by Judge
George NJ. Powers. presiding at a term
of Chittenden county court in 1907.
The trial Of the case was marked by
some sensational testimony.
A few months ago Dr. Morrow pur-
chased the North Bennington hotel,
known as the Mccarthy place oppos-
lite the station and has since made eX-
tensive improvements in the building
