The Playground
WON IN LAST INNING

Pitcher Phillips Tired Out and Pro
fessional Men Batted Out
Four Runs.

The season at the Bennington
playground closed Saturday with an
athletic tournament for the boys
and girls and a baseball game be-
tween the business and the profess
sional men. In teh forenoon the chill
dren who have been taking part in
the training and instruction under
Miss Combs were given an automo-
bile ride over the North Bennington
road.
People began to gather at the
grounds early in the afternoon for
the athletic tournament and at o.
clock, the hour SET for the clash be
tween the business and professional
men. the crowd was probably the lar
gest, counting the children, that eve,
attended a ball game in Bennington.
While there were some burlesque
features connected with the game,
there was far more real baseball than
many of the spectators expected.
Several of the players retired from
active service on the diamond but a
few years ago and others who have
begun TO acquire grey hair showed
that they could come back when
occasion required.
Phillips, who used TO be the star
bcXman for the North Bennington
team, pitched the entire game for
the business men and was not hit
to any extent untll the ninth inning
when three two-base hits and two err
rors gave the game to the profess
sional men by n score of Is to -.
Physician l.. II. Ross pitched the first
three innings for the professionals
and then gave way to Dentist X. ID.
Jenney When the physician retired
the score was tied at to 3 and the
dentist went through five innings
without being hit at all hard. In
the ninth he LOST his control and
passed three batters and hit one.
Both teams scored four runs in this
inning but the profess" had mar
gin of one when the inning began
and accordingly won out. The score:

THE BABY SHOW
One of the Greatest Successes of the
Season

The baby contest which was held
Friday afternoon on the Soldiers
Home grounds proved a success far
beyond the expectations of the com
mittee, who had no idea it would be
so popular and therefore had not
made preparations on a large enough
scale a very large group of inter
ested friends and relatives came TO
see the display of baby-hood. and
stayed to hear the results of the
health tests
AT three o'clock the program for
the mothers and friends was opened
by a talk on Babies by DR.. Daley.
Mrs. Terrill sang two groups of lull-
abys, Mrs. w T. Putnam gave an
amusing monologue by Carolyn
Wells, Miss Jeanette Perkins recited
two French Canadian poems and
Mrs. Wilcox sang to the accompani-
ment of the graphophone the sweet
and familiar old folk song, Robin
Adair," and for her second selection
negro lullaby. Up i'm the band

ing in no uncertain manner against
the liberties being taken with their
small bodies. They really didn't like
1t a bit. and if the tests had hung
solely on "lung-power." most of them
would have come off with percen-
tage of 100.
There was some confusion. of
course, as there always is in a first
attempt at anything of this kind.
and owing to the lack of facilities.
the uncertainty of the weather. and
the scarcity of doctors. the tests
were not nearly so thorough as the
committee. the mothers and the doc
tors themselves had hoped. (They
were quite thorough enough to suit
the babies) For a general test. how

the space OF two hours, the results

Saturday morning the little folks
had their share in the closing
events of the playground season.
Every regular attendant of the play

received tickets the day before for
the much coveted automobile ride
and every one was on hand long be-
fore the appointed time. At 1890
the automobiles arrived and the line
stretched from County street down
and into the soldiers home. In a
short time each one of the 10 was
filed TO its utmost capacity and hay-
ing been duly photographed moved
off amid wild cheers and waving OF
hankerchiefs. The procession pro
ceeded up Gage over Stafford down
Main and then to North Bennington

by all who saw. them and all owners
OF cars may feel themselves well re
paid for any personal inconvenience

Success in Medicine

Good doctors succeed. and among
the more the worlds greatest bene-
factors; poor doctors drop out. as
they should. Good proprietary medi-
eines succeed. and the homes Of the
masses are blessed by them. Poor
medicines drop out. as they should.
The American women are neither
guiiable or foolish. they recognize
the value Of such standard remedies
as Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable
compound. which for more than thir-
" years has been the standard rem
coy TOT female Ills and complies with
~ conditions Of the Pure Food and

Poor Blood
is Responsible

for much sickness and suffer-
ing because its quality deter
mines our rcsistive power.
With poor blood we are lam
guild, susceptible to colds, lack
natural energy and ambition,
and the gradual d cline of
strength makes prompt and
careful treatment necessary.
Drugs or alcohol cannot make
blood and must be avoided.
ScoTT's EMULSION is natures
grandest biood-maker because
of it's wholesome medical nourishment,
so carefully predigested that it assimi-
lates without taxing digestion and
quickly increases the red corpuscles
of the blood, strengthens the organs
and tissues and upbuilds the whole
system.
Absolutely nothing compares with
Scorr's EMULSION to purify and en-
rich the blood to overcome or avoid

AS DIES THE YEAR.

The old year knocks at the farmhouse door.
October, come with your matron gaze
From the fruit you are storing for VIM
ter days.
And prop him up on the granary floor,
Where the straw lies thrashed and the
corn stands heaped.
Let him eat of the bread he reaped.
He is feeble and faint and can work no
more.
Weaker lie waneth and weaker yet
November, shower your harvest down.
Chestnut and mast and acorn brown.
For you he labored. so pay the debt.
Make him a pallet-he cannot speak
And pillow of moss for his pale pinched
cheek,
He is numb to touch; he Is deaf to call
December. hither with muttleG tread
And gaze on the year for the year 10
dead.
And over him lay wan white pail.
Take down the mattock and ply the
spade.
And deep in the clay let.his clay be laid
And snowflakes fall at his funeral
Thus may die. since it must he,
NV wage well earned and my Workdays
done.
To the slow. sweet end that the wise fore
see.
Fed from the store Of my ripened
sheaveS,
Laid to rest on my fallen leaves
And with snow white souls to weep for
me. Alfred Austin.
