work out and they returned home

man can be nominated without great
expense and that the time viii come
"when the people win make their selec-

from man well qualified to fill the
position and one whom they feel that
they can fully trust" There are many

AN OLD CANE REVIVED.

The game of association football, the
kicking game largely, has taken hold
in the public high schools in Massachli-
sets and during the past season there
were many schools represented by or.
ganized teams, just as the majority OF
the schools were represented by the
American college game of football The
newly adopted game is not, as yet, as
popular as the college game, but it gives
more boys the chance to secure physical
exercise, and, therefore, the development
of interest in soccer is encourag ing.
We are likely to have less casualty
lists at the end of the season also.
Twenty years and more ago, game
which corresponded to the association
football game was played in Barre and

OF Boutwell, Milne 4 Varnum's ealen
dars that he sat right down and scrib
bled the following thanks:
To Boutwell,, Milne & Varnum;
Received your calendar, kind sirs,
And oh, IL is dandy.
Night grace John DIS or Morgans wall
Or walls of Skibo Andy.
The picture brought this thought to me
When life is in its cleaning,
The time when all must come to be
Unfit for work or roamingi
To sit beside that cottage door
would be in my glory.
Perusing some inspiring song
Or interesting story.
And read the news from day to day
With some congenial body,
Or sit and smoke and crack joke
And share with them my toddy.
But as 1t is just now, feel
As If someone had shot me.
I'm lying fiat upon my back,
Seiatica has got me.

Perhaps it is unfair to charge the pass
age of the Sherwood pension bill to the
Democrats in the national house, iras-
much as leaders of the party fought
against it. Nevertheless, it will go down
as having been passed by Democratic
House Since economy is the watch
word of the party in this Congress-, it
looks like locking the door after the
horse is stolen to oppose an omnibus bill
carrying from s2A000,OO0 to s3O,o00,O00,
when the Sherwood bill would take from
$4OO0OOO0 to S75,OO0,0O0 out of the
treasury.

In the course OF a remarkable speech
in Cleveland the other day, as reporte,
by reputable newspaper, William J
Burns, the great detective, who was in.
strumental in ferreting out the Los An.
geles crime, gave way to his feelings il
a most shocking manner. His animal
versions were directed against President
Gompers of the American Federation Of
Labor, and in the course Of his remarks
he used these words to characterize tbs
man: "blatherskite," mot fit to rule
organized labor drunk" "shot to
lieees with booze" "scoundrel," ''NNherC
the hell was his mind if he didn't know ??
crook" Not fit for anything, let alonf
to head organized labor" Those and
other remarks show that Burns has lost
his balance and just when he most needs

The nine western governors who cams

Although the overwhelming sentiment

rapidly for a matter of such really great

 The number ofs silos in Arkansas has probably more than doubled ti3s year, The summer just passing has brought a good many letterss to tie station asking for information4regard ing silos and silage and a few ask ing for barn plans and specifications These inquiries indicate that there is considerable interest being taken iEs the dairy business yer the state alid in sthei improvement of present meth. .ods < - Those who have built silos this year will doubtless find that the cost Of feeding their cows through the winter is greatly reduced and the , quantity of milk will generally De greater than when they depended olt dry feed' entirely s5s+
