Golden Days.


"a reverie in the park
The golden glory of autumn days
Rests softly on paths, and winding
ways,
And each leafy glade
Where the children played,
In mellow, dreamy haze.
The river silently floweth by,
Rejecting clouds in the far blue sky,
And the murm ring breeze,
In the waving trees,
Sing a sweet, sad melody.
Summer is gone with her days SO
bright,
Days that were filled with a sweet de-
light,
And gay Autumn too,
With radiant hue,
Full quickly will take her fight.
Yet think not sadly of pleasures past,
Of winter winds with their chilling
blast,
There are always more
Glad summers in store,
Each happier than the last.
Bright faces still greet US everywhere,
Sweet music floats on the cool, clear air,
And yet may be heard
The song of the bird.
And all is serene and fair.
So think not sadly of loss or pain,
But merrily join the glad refrain,
Bright Autumn.is here
With her gay good cheer,
And Summer will come again.

A woman's back has many aches and

Most times it's the kidneys fault.
Backache is really kidney ache;
That's why Doan's Kidney Pills cure it.
Many Middlebury women know this.

Mrs. John Signor, Seymour St., Mid

first learned the value of Doan's Kidney
Pills. l suffered intensely from kidney
complaint and at that time l received
splendid relief from Doan's Kidney
Pills, in fact they entirely rid me of the
attack. A short time ago again had
symptoms of kidney trouble and getting
a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills at Shell,

my back and strengthened my kidneys.

This is practically general admission
that the undulatory theories, which
have been endulged in for now some 80
years, by the leaders of science, and
taught in all schools and colleges, after
Newton's corpuscular theory of Light
was abandoned, are not tenable.
Ellen" first published in 1901, and
very largely advertised in England,
and fairly so in this country, with $4,000
offered to the first person who could
prove the undulatory theories true, or
the corpuscular untrue, has won out.
The common sense of the world is
triumphing, and a lot of stuff that
is too weak to stand discussion, is spite
of the great strength of organization
which has hitherto supported it, is
slowly but surely disappearing.
Truth crushed to earth has risen
again, and soon the great law by
which all material things are made,
i. e. the combination of matter in
its different conditions and proper
lions. which is just as responsible
for light or sound or any other material
thing, as it is for the food we eat, or the
clothes we wear, or the houses we live
in, will be recognized by everybody.
And conversely the thinking part of
man, the soul or mind, for whose bene-
fit all material things are made, is some
thing entirely different, and changes
not. In its nature it is immortal, what
ever may be the laws of God that gov
ern its action.

everyone connected with the automobile

degree responsible for the death of the
eleven persons who were killed when

Theories of Light.

The transformations that scientific
theories undergo are well illustrated in
the case of light Opening the new
Britannica at the subject we read at the
very beginning of the long and elabor-
ate article on light: " Emission theories
based on the supposition that light was
a stream of corpuscles, were at first &C
cepted. These gave place during the
opening decades of the 10th century to
the undulatory or wavs theory, which
may be regarded as eliminating in the
elastic solid theory so named from
the lines along which the mathematical
investigation proceeded and according
to which light is a transverse vibra-
tory motion propagated longtudinally
through the ether.
1.-THE mathematical researches of
James Clerk Maxwell have led to the
rejection of this theory, land it is now
held that light is identical with electro
magnetic disturbances, such as are
generated by oscillating electric currents
or moving magnets. Beyond this point
we cannot go at present. So long as
the character of the displacements
which constitute the waves remains I'M
defined we cannot pretend to have es-
tablished theory of light.N
A recent text book on optics also
speaks of the luminiferous ether as
being now abandoned and of light as
being projected across pure space,
which seems to imply return towards
the corpuscular theory After centuries
of investigation scientific speculation
has run the entire circle and ends in
uncertainty in which it "cannot pretend
to have established a theory of light. y
1t is thus again shown thar science
no less than philosophy and religion
begins with and ends in mystery and
must walk by faith. 1t believes the
world is rational, but it cannot find the
clue to its nature and operations at
many points. The science articles in the
Britannica in general impress US as
being less dogmatic and sure in the tone
and substance of their teaching than in
former editions. Science grows more
cautious and modest as it advances in
knowledge. 1t knows in part, and has
some of the spirits of little child. This
is the true scientific spirit and it is close
to the spirit of faith. - Presbyterian

ly defeated Sammy Keller, the English
bantam. in their ten round bout here
last night.
The Chicago lad made marvellous
showing, pushing the fight all the way
through and keeping the Briton con-
tinually on the defensive Only con-
slant covering up under fire saved
Keller from Knockout.
The situation looked pretty dismal
for the man from over across the pond
as he wobbled to his corner In the first
round. Forbes had staggered him
twice and once Keller jpst managed
to stay on his feet by a superhuman
effort. In the middle of the opening
session Forbes tore in one OF his
famous heart punches and also bent
one into Keller,s stomach. He took
many on the jaw, but the body shocks
were what weakened the Hebrew.
At the starting gong in the second
spasm Forbes dashed out and tore in
a couple Of left jabs to get his proper
distance sense.
Then he let the right go. Keller was
under it. Keller stabbed In weak left
and Forbes retaliated with a right
handler which landed on >the cheek

but could not catch the YaRht SPOT

CHAMPIONS WILL
Be IN Great TRIM
GIANTS AND ATHLETICS EXPECT
TO PLACE REGULAR LINE
UPS IN FIELD.

New York, Oct. managers have
their troubles but the physical condi,
ton of the players probably will be
the least of them in the worlds series
of 1911" remarked John McGraW
manager of the New York Nationals
today.
In this respect, at least the coming
games between the Giants and Phila-
delphia Athletics will be unusual, for
both teams expect to take the field
with their regular line-ups in fine fet-
tie.
If the weather clears, the Giants
will play Brooklyn double header to-
day, and the games will be nothing
more than exercise for those whom
McGraw wants to keep on edge.
The New York club has no players
who will be incapacitated from cross
ing bats with the Athletics.
Fred Merkle, first baseman, sprang
that dread of all ball players, a char
ley horse last week, but it has about
worked off.
The Indian Meyers, grew stale to-
ward the close Of the National league
season and McGraw gave his catcher
rest. Meyers says he Is fit now.
McGraw probably will announce the
following batting order for the Giants
on Saturday:
Devore, If; Doyle, 2b; Snodgrass, Ct !;
Murray, IF; Merkle, Id; Herzog. BIB;
Fletcher, SIS; Meyers, C; Mathewson, p.
Reports from the Athletics camp
indicate that First Baseman McInnes
will be back on the bag when the team
meets the Giants McInnes received a
severe welt on the wrist from a pitch
ed ball in one of the recent Dertoit
games. Manager Mack's batting order
probably will be as follows:
Lord, If; Oldring, CT; Collins, 2b;
Baker, 3b; Murphy, IF; McInnes, 1b;
Barry, IS; Thomas, c; Bender, p.
All the Giants are hoping to win,
but. as Herzog remarked, this series
is an even money chance and the
third baseman's opinion is said to be
the feeling OF most of the Giants.
