School Football Championship.

RoCKLAND, Me-, Nov. 26. The Rock
land High School football team so far
outclassed all its opponents this season
that its claims to the State school cham
pionship are receiving serious considera-
tion. After its decisive defeat of Water
vile High, which had not previously been
scored upon, E. Carl Moran, the Rock
land manager, promptly mailed chal-
lenge to Bangor High. which also had
been having phenomenally successful
season. No game was arranged, how
ever, and thus the season ends with Ban
gor High and Rockland High rival clai-
mants for the title. Rockland High play
ed seven games, scoring l25 points
against rs for its opponents. The only
defeat was at Bucksport, where the
team, suffering from the effects Of a
rough sea trip, was beaten by the E. M.
c. Seminary, 10 to 0. Following is Rock
land Highs record:
Rockland 80, Vinalhaven H. S. 6.
Rockland -, Morse H. S. .(Bath) 0.
Rockland 18, Vinalhaven H. S. o.
Rockland O, Bucksport Seminary 10.
Rockland IL, Waterville H. S. 0.
Rockland "a, Morse H. S. 3.
Rockland rs, Camden H. S. 8.
The Rockland lineup this season in
Guided three six-footers. Benjamin
Perry, weight POS, was the heaviest
player. The team had splendid defensive
qualities and a fast and aggressive back
field.

In Memory Of the late Hon. Lorenzo
Carcelon.

Hon. Lorenzo Garcelcn, "Troy's grand old
man" who passed away Oct. 2srh. at the age Of
80 years and ten months. We have known a. a
lifelong friend-one associated with our early
home and happy, care free childhood. and
whose memory brings only pleasant thoughts
of an unselfsh, noble life. His pure mind
was far above the average, and down to the
last years of his life one could not listen to
his pleasant, instructive conversation without
being benefited. He was always fayorite
teacher. who governed his pupils by kindness.
In his home life the same mild disposition was
ever manifested, forgetful of self, thinking
Only of the happiness of others. Children al
ways loved him, and he was never happier
than when entertaining merry company of
them. In memory we see him now, his sleigh
filled to overlooking with happy, laughing
school children, for he never passed one by
but could always make room for more. He
was well known in public life, having held all
the important town offices; was justice Of the
peace all the years until health failed; was
also member of both branches of the Maine
Legislature. A little more than year ago
his faithful. devoted wife passed away, and
since then he has been tenderly cared for by
his granddaughter and nephew, Mr.. and Mrs.
George Garcelon. He leaves two brothers;
William Garcelon Of Burnham and E. H. of
Troy; two sisters, Mrs. S. M. Peabody and Mrs.
Eliza Cotton. both of Lewiston; and four
grandchildren, who, with the many friends
who have known his life, will sacredly cherish
his memory. 1--WE cannot buy with gold the

A BELFAST MANS INVENTION.
A Spring Tire for Automobiles that is Ex-
pected to Revolutionize Things.

A Spring Tire for Automobiles that is Ex-
pected to Revolutionize Things.
Correspondence Bangor Commercial
BELFAST, Me-, Nov. 81. Thomas S.
Thompson of East Belfast has invented
a new automobile spring tire, which he
claims will revolutionize the tire business
both in this and foreign countries. Mr..
Thompson now has patents filed in Wash
ington. His invention is spring tire to
take the place of the rubber tire, and is
a combination of springs that are ar
ranged between the inner and outer rims.
These springs can be adjusted to any
size wheel and used on any f1ange, and
on any weight car or truck, by using
heavier springs and more of them in the
tire. Skid chains of horse hide cover
ing can be used in this tire as well as on
the pneumatic. They can also be ad-
justed to hard rubber tire fange. The
springs do not need any covering, as
they do not pick up dirt or stones, and
can be used on other vehicles, besides
automobiles, in which steel springs are
substituted for pneumatic pressure.
Mr.. Thompson claims he has noise
less, punctureless, elastic motion, dura-
BILE, practical and inexpensive spring
tire, and when tried out by him for the
first time on a $500 ID. car he was able
to run rs miles an hour, up hill on high
speed, and he is confident that he could
run 40 miles an hour with the tire as now
completed.
Mr.. Thompson is now having 30 sets of
tires made for him by Chicago firm,
md hIr 90, h IN&o
and touring car for his use in the spring
has already received an offer of $4,000
refused it, Practical automobile men
who have examined this tire, and seen it
in use, are most enthusiastic over it, and
predict that it will soon supersede all
other styles of tires. Mr.. Thompson is
kept busy receiving the congratulations
of his friends, and is himself very conf
dent of the success of the tire His in
Nention is all the more remarkable in
view of the fact that he never owned an
automobile, and never rode in one more
than rs times.
He is now in the ice business, being
one of the largest dealers in the city, and
was formerly prominent horse trainer,
coming to Belfast eight years ago from
Boston, where he was foreman for ]. B.
Packard & Son, high class horse dealers,
and before that, was in the horse market
in Buffalo. N. Y, and in Upper Canada
He was in the horse business all his life
until he came to Belfast, and has in his
time owned many fast ones.
Letters from many automobile manu-
featuring concerns are now pouring in to
Mr.. Thompson, in regard to the new tire
and great things are expected of it.

Gift of Col. Alden ]. Blethen.

The University of Washington at Seattle has
an unusual feature for an institution of learn
ing in chime of bells presented by Col. Alden
]. Blethen of Seattle. On these bells are
played elaborate secular and religious music,
and music even from the simplest of peals
cannot be surpassed by that of the most intri-
cate instrument devised by man. The bells
are doubly attuned. so that the same fitness,
tone-richness and brilliancy obtains through
out the entire set of IL. The total net weight
of the bells is $4,000 pounds, and with the
frame. mountings and complete appliances,
aggregate about $4,000 pounds. Their sweet
toned music is heard for miles,

Alas, there can be no surprise concealed
in cobweb stocking; it was never in
tended to conceal anything.
In the stocking-hanging age mother
had leisure to indulge in such light and
frivolous accomplishments as darning
and mending. Now she may have, say,
a Greek drama club, Mothers Con-
gress, suffragette parade, and the
writing of a paper on THE Effect of
Schopenhauer upon the Mind of the
Igorote," all in one week. With every
week equally full of vitality important
work, can she be blamed for tucking
Tommy's heelless, toeless stockings
under his Glib where Santa Claus can't
see them?
The time honored custom of hanging
up the Christmas stocking will eventually
cease to be observed for lack of stock
ing to hang up-nearly everybody wears
hose, these days. -Lippincott's

RECIPES FOR A LONG LIFE,

The late John Bigelow, the patriarch
of diplomats and authors, and the no less
distinguished physician and author, DR.
S. Weir Mitchell, were together, severa
years ago, at West Point. DR.. Bigelov
was then ninety-two. and DR.. Mitchell
eighty.
The conversation turned to the subject
of age. 81 attribute my many years., .
said DR.. Bigelow, "to the fact that have
been most abstemious. l have eater
sparingly, and have not used tobacco,
and have taken little exercise"
ut is just the reverse in my case,
explained Dr. Mitchell 81 have eaten
just as much as l wished, if could get
it; have always used tobacco, immoder-
ately at times; and l have always taken
great deal of exercise"
With that, Ninety Two Years shook
his head at Eighty Years and said,
"Well, you will never live to be an old
man!"-Lippincott's.
THE PASSING OF THE CHRISTMAS STOCK
ING.
For the passing of the Christmas
stocking the steam-heated house has
been unduly blamed. True, the lack of
chimney facilities increased the difficult
Ties OF SantaS work, out so long as a
stocking hung there to be filled he gen.
orally managed somehow, even though
he had to sneak in disguised as Father,
with the presents under his coat. The
fact is, the stocking, for Christmas pur-
poses, has become inadequate. Only a
Taftian trouser-leg would hold what the
modern expects to receive.
Pink-striped stick candy, nuts,
oranges, tin horn, or very young doll
baby could be slipped into stocking
without straining it. But, if forced to
ter wants, Sons motor-boat, or Mother
grand piano, the best guaranteed stock
ing is apt to spring leak.
When stockings were made of woollen
or cotton, even Mother found delving in
the slim, dark depths fascinating. Each
package was fingered and speculated
over before being brought to the light.
