The outcome of the baseball meeting in
the Brooks House tomorrow evening is
likely to have an important bearing on the
success of the sport in Brattleboro the
coming summer, and for that reason all
who are interested in having the town
represented on the diamond ought to make
it a point to be present. In spite of the
action taken by the Twin State league in
adopting a salary limit and making other
plans for the approaching season the fact
remains that it has not been definitely
settled that Bratteboro will have any
baseball team this summer In the first
place there is that little matter of last
years Indebtedness that must be attended
to, say nothing of gathering a reserve fund
for this year and inducing tive sef-sacri-
ficing men to take places on the director
ate Of the local association.

But He Wouldn't Get Up.

There was not even standing room

more passenger. a young woman,
wedged her way along just inside the
doorway. Each time the car took a
sudden lurch forward she fell help
lessly back, and three times she land
ed in the arms of a large, comfortable
man. The third time it happened he
said, quietly: Hadn't you better stay
here?"-Exchange

Montpelier people want the right to find
out by telephone whether or not trains

The damage done hereabouts by spring
freshets dwindles to nothing when COM
pared to the awful devastion wrought in
the Middle West this week. Hills are some
times considered nuisance but they prove
to be pretty good locations in time of

And assuming that these problems are
solved, there is still left the more difficult
one of finding somebody who will under
take the job of collecting and maintain
ing team on 5000 week including his
own salary. The difficulty about this ioh
is that a man good enough to hold it
down is worth such big slice of the total
that the remainder is likely to be wholly
inadequate This may sound paradoxica,
but it is true nevertheless. In 1911, with
a manager of wide experience and an eN-
tremely economical turn of mind. the local
association found it difficult to keep inside
a 5000 limit which did not include the
managers salary. And there is some ques
ton whether local fans would be satisfied
with team no faster than the one O
two years ago,

Erwin McCoon Of Towanda, Pa, de-

following terms:
"Wanted-The woman who has been
doing my washing has gone back on
me. must have wife at once;
would like white woman between 26

has not given herself to any so-called
Christian society, or will forever re-
nounce the same and give herself up
entirely to love, respect, and will obey
me while | love, cherish and protect
her; my Judgment always to be final
and complete"

over whom the tides of time and
change sweep in vain, leaving him un-

the beaver hat and the tight breeches,
he looketh upon woman as the faith
ful drudge she was aforetime. To
mend the fire and drub the duds on
the washing board, to prepare his
grub ard patch his pantaloons- -sueh
