LAUGH AND BE HEALTHY.

Look at the laugh in whatsoever
light you will, whether you see it as
the deliverer from bondage to out
grown notions. a schoolmaster with
the sharp switch of ridicule to teach us
manners: all apostle of democracy,
prOclaiming that we are all of the
same clay, made of it and to return
to it, but every lump of it holding
some sparkle Of the Divine fire, and
woe hetide the man that tries to make
us think that he is of different stunt
Look at the laugh, say, In any light
you choose, and you will see that it is
not so much the downfall and confu-
sion Of the laughed at that makes US
happy, that ioggles our wristbands
and sends the ha-ha spouting out. that
pumps the blood along the sluggish
veins, massaging the interior works
and replacing the shopworn stock Of
air with new consignment, as 1t is
the sudden. sharp, intense realization
of our personal well being.-Eugene
Wood in Success Magazine

BOWd0in VS.. Colby
This Afternoon,

The influx of people to Waterville on
account of the big football battle to be
played on Alumni field at 2.3O this af-
ternoon between Colby and Eowdoin,
has already been large, and all trains
to this city this morning will bring del
egations from all the cities in the
State, for the game is looked upon to
be the best game of the season. AL
though all Colby supporters are hope
full and somewhat confident, they real
iZc the uncertainty of the game and
results of the past, under like condi-
tons. For the past two days the man.
agement has been at work making
preparations for the large crowd that
is expected this afternoon. The field
has been wired off and the crowd will
be kept at a suitable distance from the
scene of play. The police force will be
efficient to cope with the conditions.
Nothing would be given out Friday
evening by any of the Colby officials
concerning the team. but it is under
stood that the players are in the best
of condition and will be practically
the same lineup as in the Bates game
one week ago. Secret practice has been
held for the past week and no one
has been allowed on the field, except
those in charge. Manager Swan when
asked regarding the officials for the
game. would say little and to the eff
feet that the ones published in several
of Friday morning papers would be
challenged. He would say nothing in
regard to today's lineup,
The game Saturday will be the gath
game to be played between the two
colleges. OF the past % games three
have been ties, Is have been won by
Bowdoin and five by Colby. Two games
were played annually until 1899
The game this afternoon will start at
go o'clock and it is understood that
the regulation 35-minute halves will
be played.
