The directors OF the Bellows Falls base
ball team dissipated all doubt that the
team would continue to the end of the
league season at a meeting here Saturday
night, when it was voted to finish the
season, For some days it had been doubt
fuI whether the team would be able to
finish, as men who had been aiding tinan-
cially in the conduct of the team had
positively refused to delve deep again
The treasury is empty and the team Is
probably some 5000 in the hole, but loyal
fans have agreed to pay the bills now
due. Ii the team does not pay expenses
for the last two weeks of the season the
directors have agreed to meet the deficit,
and in turn will be reimbursed by the
general public.
This decision lifts load from the drec-

whether some Of the other teams would

so if good productive dairy cows are
expected the calf needs to be kept
strong and thrifty from the start.
Sunshine is very necessary to the
vigor of all young growing animals.
1t is an excellent germicide and for
that reason serves to purify the sur
roundings and to keep the young calf
healthy. 1t is always we'll to place the
calf pens in a part Of the stable where
plenty of direct sunshine may enter.
The advantages of raising fall calves
are that dairy products are much high
er priced in the winter. the average
farmer has more time t properly are
for the cows. besides the average COW
will maintain her milk flow longer by
coming on to grass in the springtime.
With the calves coming in the fall.
they are ready to be weaned in the
spring and can be put out to pasture.
where they will continue to grow. On
the other hand, when calves are drop
ped in the spring they are ready to
wean In the fall about the time winter
sets in. SO are liable to go through the
winter without making very much
growth. In the fall is by all means
the best time for dairy calves to come
both from the standpoint of the calf
and profits of the owner.

Street Etiquette.

1t is not considered good form for a
man to take hold of a lady's arm In
walking at any time except to assist
her in alighting from a vehicle or over
a crossing or in some place where as
sistance is absolutely necessary.
In walking on the street during the
day a man should walk beside the
lady, preferably on the right hand.
which will prevent her being jostled
in meeting those going in the opposite
direction, but always on the outside
of the walk. He does not take her
arm nor does she take his. unless. as
said, for the purpose of assisting her
In some way.
In the evening a lady may take the
arm of the man she is walking with
that he may be a support and that they
may the better keep step. but he
should not take hers. The exceptions
are where a woman is feeble or aged.
when any support and assistance that
can be rendered should be done in the
easiest. and most inconspicuous fash
ion.

chattering companions who radiated
Joy and sparkle on every side Of her.
Deft fingers few with chattering
tongues, confusing her by the bewilder-
ing creations called into being with
breathless haste.
When night came the loneliness she
dreaded did not come. so filled was her
solitude by thoughts of all she had
seen and heard. and so hard did her
brain work to digest all the wonders.
Would she, could she. in two months
grasp the something" and take it
home to America. and in so doing
reach another stepping stone in her
career? The following morning found
her seated upon her assigned bench.
She had been told to come ut 3 o'clock.
and every clock and watch said g.
but she was alone. In half an hour
her companions of yesterday began
to stray in casually. Dull of eye and
~listlessly they came. No bubbling
laugh. no gay chatter filed the room.
and what was more surprising. no
work was attempted. Some great
calamity must have occurred! The
whole nation must be suffering death
and facing calamity. Questions failed
to bring forth answers. and the puzzle
grew. Were all her dreams to vanish
with the night? The 'house" must
have failed was her final thought.
Around 10 or II o'clock the party
broke up for dejeuner. and with their
return came a breath Of the spirit of
the afternoon before. Increasing gay

hours, and the wonder of it was more
and more inexplicable. The mornings
were one long torture, the afternoons
a JOY. One day all was revealed. A

MAKING STEEL RAILS.
How the Glowing ln9ots Are Rolled
Into Shape and Cut.

How the Glowing lnsots Are Rol!sd
Into Shape and Cut.
That rail mill was certainly u won
derful sight: The enormous glowing
ingots were carried on Il transfer car
to q sort of trough. Tn door of the
trough, or table" as the call It. con-
sisted of q series Of roller. that were
turning rapidly. Riding ON them. the
bug, clumsy ingot sailed along until 1T
bumped against a pair of large steel
rolls. Immediately the rolls seized 1t
and hauled it through, like clothes
through a clothes wringer. We could
not see that it had been 1attened down
very much, but we noticed that deep
corrugations had been cut into its up
per surface.
As it moved on the rollers turned 1t
over on its side before 1t was caught
by the next pair or ''stand" Of rolls. 1t
went through four stands in success
sion, turning over between each stand
until it had made a complete turn.
Then it came to what is called a three
high" mill, which has three rolls, n
above the other. First the bloom as
it was now called, went between the
middle and bottom rolls. but no sooner
bad it emerged than it was raised bod
lily, the supporting roller tables" on
both sides of the mill being raised up
simultaneously.
The rollers of the tables were then
reversed, causing the bloom to start
back between the middle and top rolls.
The tables were now lowered, their
rollers reversed and the bloom sent
through between the middle and bot
tom rolls, as before, but this time it
was switched to n side. where the
rolls were a little larger in diameter.
and it was a tighter squeeze getting
through them.
And so the bloom went back and
forth, being switched over to a tighter
pass each time until it was squeezed
down to about eight inches square and
over forty feet long. Then it was cut
in two, and each bloom went through
another set Of rolls that gradually
worked it down to the size and shape

AS it came back for its last sally
through the rolls a whistle was blown
as a warning that the rolling was fin

way to the saws. There were five cir
cular saws that dropped down upon
the glowing metal and amid a shower
of sparks sawed it into four ten-yard
