BASE BALL GAME.
SkOwhegan 10; Colby Freshmen 2.

The Skowhegan baseball team agaiu
won a game from Colby Freshmen.
The game was exciting during the
first four innings, and it looked for a
time as if the final score would be
close. But Skowhegan showed great
er ability and Dore as pitcher cou,d
not be equalled, and when the men on
his team did not play well he PLAYED
the whole game. No pitcher on the
diamond here, this year, has shown
such speed. Pooler made some good
runs by fairly darting around the
bases. Cayanaugh proved one of the
reliable men on the team and a work
er. Colby's pitcher started out well
and was a hard one on the home
team, but he soon played out and the
whole team slowed up after the fourth
inning, so that it was easy for Show
hogan. The final score was 10 to ,.

There are several very unsightly
dumping places in our town. but at
least one of them if not the worst, is
being carefully cleaned up That is
the one on Alder St Much credit is
due to the property holders for their
interest in making Skowhegan a mod
el town.
The dump on Pine ST is indeed
bad place and sometime in the near
future it is hoped that this same dis
ease breeding hole may be covered mp.
or course people living near such
places are in constant danger of such
plaques as typhoid fever and uber-
culosis The dump on the river bank
at the Eddy is most unattractiye, es-
pecially since the new State road has
been built. and it is desirable that
land owners should take care of such
uuisances and have the offenders
prosecuted to the full extent OF the

Bill boards are blot to the beauty

cities they are trying to do away with
them, let us copy their good example.
especially such as advertisements

In a Diary
By DOROTHY sLAckMoRE


A March wind was busy In Wash.

paper and made kites OF them, II
tangled the garments Of pedestrians;
II made whirlpools OF dust on the
street corners.
Suddenly, a window was raised 10

and a housemah shook gayly at her
custer. A gust OF wind startled her
and she knocked q small book from
the sill The leaves were tapping IN
the wind and the book lying, covers
down. on the pavement below before
she recovered her Irish wits and
slammed the window.
At that moment q man and a dog

the volume.
The terrier promptly seized the
leather in his teeth and, preceding
his master along the street, stopped
at the entrance to an apartment

carry mail and parcels and this task
was only slightly different, He
wagged his abbreviated tail TO and

Before the chair OF his master he
dropped the book and was duly
petted.

He looked for a name, but there

PLENTY OF STAMPS.
Economy as Really Practiced Becomes
Apparent Also When a Carpenter
is Ordered.

Further samples of the kind Of
economy which induced the State to
engaged Sonny" Mahon, Jr., and
others at So day to pose in the House
chamber have been exhibited in the
junior branch, and the Committee on
Claims today received a little consign-
ment q of these goods. BY this near
w 1000 2-cent stamps will be distribu-
ted to a few committees, with many
more committees to be heard from.
The package was handed to the
House by Floor Leader Marbury, who,
with Speaker Trippe, led the fight
against the now famous Osborn econ
omy measure, and came in the form of
an order to allow $40 in stamps to the
Ways and Means Committee, Judiciary,
Corporations and sundry other bodies.
Whereat arose Chairman Farmer. of
the city delegation. and also asked
aims that is, stamps followed by
ICY" Cummings, who wanted the same
allowance for the Committee on Public
Buildings.
BY tins time the derisive laughter
had become so pronounced that Speak
CIR Trippe cut Off other applicants by
sending the order to. the Claims Com
mittee.
Still, an order went through for the
employment of carpenter for the
House and the Senate, the eXpense-at

tween the two chambers. Just which
professional politician should name the
carpenter was not specified.

The Progressive Farmers Associa-
tion of Anne Arundel County held its
weekly meeting on Wednesday, Janu-
airy "a at the home Of the president,
j. l.. Meade, near Brownsville. Quite
a number were in attendance at his
meeting, twenty-one in all. new and
old members, and that did not include
| the full membership.
Business was transacted and dues
/ collected. The different co committees
made their reports. The great
change in the weather was the cause
of so many men being present, and If
| this kind of weather should continue
the next meeting should bring out
twice as many. A great surprise to
all was seeing lady at the meeting.
Of course, all are invited. Ladies
are as welcome as men, but they can
not have anything to say in regard to
the business part.
The ladies can only sit and listen,
but they can make suggestions to any
member near and the ladies are just
as likely to have some views that q
man would not think Of. A farmers
wife or daughter should be just as In
terested in the farm and its doings as
the farmer, If she wishes to help.
The next meeting will be held or
Wednesday, January 81. All are
welcome, even the wives and daugh
tiers. More farmers are invited.

Archibald thought. but there was
something IN the manner OF heir
writing that appealed to him. The
viewpoint was fresh and the every

author was O woman--had many odd
turns OF language that made the SIM
pie jottings surprisingly interesting.
AS he read no began TO wish he
knew the author. He would like to
return the diary. And yet he had no
tangible scent to follow. The mere
fact that she dined--or had dined IN
the course Of the year in which the
diary had been kept-in a small Bo-
hemian restaurant in Washington
square, was small evidence OF her
identity.
Nevertheless, Tom Archibald made
It a point to dine frequently in that
place. He felt reasonably sure that
II he could overhear the girls con-
versaton he would recognize her. Ac-
cordingly, TO his shame, be It added,
be often listened intently to the re.
marks OF persons sitting near him.
Also, he ate larger dinners than was
his custom so as to prolong his stay
In the restaurant
After three weeks OF intermittent
searching, he was dining again in the
small restaurant, his hope Of finding
the author by this means was at low
ehb. Suddenly, from q table behind
him, man asked Of his companion:
Did you ever find your diary?"
