of Life, Mr.. Williams told his audit
ors that play" as the word is COM
monty understood was nothing more
or less than work with joy added to
it. Whenever work of any kind was
undertaken OF ones own free viii JOY
was derived from the effort, He spoke
further of games as being initiative
of warfare. but said that in the play
ing of games. whether or not of the
more strenuous kind that required
strength as well as skill it was mere
ly a training for preparation of lifes
work. In conclusion Rev. MIR. Will
Jams said that the one lovely thought
about The Game of Life was that

is perhaps labor. but joy. added to il,

the noblest sort of play that would
be entirely spelled had the JOY been

and liking penalty for soliciting that
form of insurance after that date came
up before the legal affairs committee
for hearing Wednesday afternoon.
Representative Pattangall appeared
in favor of the bill. He believed this
form of insurance to be contrary to
public policy. Physicians he said were
insured against their own wrongful
acts. The Maine law does not impose
severe burdens on physicians who are
not liable for damages in case ordinary
Skill and care is used. This form of
insurance differs materially from en-
ployers liability, he told the commit
tee. Employers might frequently have
accidents for which they We're in no

he objects. InconSciouSly, he said,
doctors would be more or less neSl

honest man might be he Is never So
careful of fire when his buildings are

defend suits and doctors even if they

cases out side of court even if they

! the tendency was to make doctors treat
patients with less care than they
otherwise would, although he intend

Philip Schlief. who lives in the val

met with shocking and extremely
painful accident Saturday afternoon
that will lay him up for a long time,
and he will De fortunate if he es apes
without permanent lameness He was
working with a crew of men baling
hay on the Kimball ranch, in the val
ley and while engaged in feeding the
baler loose hay was pushing the hay
into place with his foot In some man
ner he slipped and his foot was caught
in the baler. When the unfortunate
man was eAtricated it was found that
the tremendous pressure had crashed
the bones of the left leg between the
knee and ankle. causing a compound
fracture of both bones, splinters pro-
truding through the flesh Mr.. Schlief
was taken to his home and Dr.. Peale
was rushed to the relief of the insured
mar in an automobile. The case has
since been placed in the hands 0. Dr..
Schwabland who was not in town
when the accident occurred. The
bones were set. and at last accounts
the patient was doing even better than
could have been expected, considering
the nature Of his hurts. No one is to
blame for the accident. unless it be
Mr.. Schlief himself for taking such
chances as he did However it is 4
common practice so it is stated for
feeders Of halers to push hay in with
their feet although all know that they
were taking desperate chances at all
times when doing so.

IN RICH ORE.

S. A. DeMerchant was down from
the Kimberly mine, on Wannicut lake
Saturday. He reports having fine ore
and lots of it on the lower workings
of the Kimberly. A general assay of
this ore runs over $40 to the ton, and
that would be considered mighty good
ore in any mans country. The COM
pany behind the Kimberly is slow act
ing as though the mineral was yet to
be found after extensive and expensive
development. They have the ore now
pay ore in large quantities, and the
stockholders should take some steps
to secure returns from the money that
has already been invested. 1t is only
a question of extracting the values
and some arrangement ought 10 be
made for doing that.

Oroville over Sunday. One of the du-

is a son of the we'll known Minnesota
congressman of that name, is to make
periodical excursions over the state
wherever attaches of the department
are stationed and check UP the ac-
counts and books There was quite a
flock of revenue officers in Oroville
Sunday in consultation with the higher
officer in the service. Among them
were Oscar Dam. from Ferry, and
don't you think he does not care a
dam. for you will find different if you
try to sneak through anything dutiable
over his beat; W. A. CRUDE, who keeps
his eagle eye on travellers passing

at Nelson. In addition to those visit
