THE LAST STRAW

With look of extreme disgust on
his face, old Farmer Giles looked out
from the train on the outskirts of the
city, which he was visiting for the
first time
Neither did he approve of the ap-
pearance of a lady who had got into
the car a few stations back, and,
altogether, he was in very grumpy
state of mind.
AS the train neared the terminus it
passed a factory of some sort which
sent on appalling and altogether
overpower1ng odor in at the car
window.
The farmer who had been observ-
ing the crowded buildings on either
side of the line, turned sharply round
and beheld the lady holding a smell
ing bottle to her nose. This was too
much! With his face muffled in an
enormous red handkerchief, he leant
across to her:
Madam" he shouted, choking
with wrath and the smell from the
factory, for goodness sake put the
cork back in that bottle again.

Boys Start Off with Other Folks
Property.

Probably a desire to enlist in the
navy or army and fight the Mexicans,
has caused two young men at East
Albany to land in the jail at Newport
to await trial for grand larceny. Some
time Thursday night Harry Dingman
and Will Goss took from the pasture a
colt and pony belonging to Will Han
son, together with saddle and harness
which they found at the barn, the two
young men then went to West Glover
where they decided to exchange stock
with N. G.. Stevens, there they left
the Hanson colt and took two colts
from Stevens and with their bunch
now increased to the colts and pony
they proceeded to MorrisvilIe; on the
way they tried to sell the horses but
did not meet with success. At Morris
vile they tried to sell them to the
Smalley stable but not being able to
do SO, they left the two colts there and
becoming worried. started out with
the pony making back tracks. They
borrowed a wagon and made for East
Albany. the pony becoming vicious
kicked the wagon to bits, and the
young men deserted and made for
the swamp, where 1t appears that
they had hidden bicycles and pre-
pared for a quick getaway. Satur-
day afternoon, however, they were met
in the road by Sheriff E. G. Baldwin
of Barton, and were escorted little
later in an automobile to the Jail at
Newport. where they await trial. To
others of our young men. who may. feel
inclined to enlist in branch of our
army, let US say that this method has
never been known to work out success.

B. A. Plays Errorless Ball.

In the first home game of it's series.
B irton Academy defeated Orleans
H igh School by score of nine to one.
Our Academy boys are to be con-
graduated on the class of ball played
last Wednesday, there was not an error
or the semblance of one during the en-
tire game. and there was that snap and
confidence among the boys that in
spires US fans in the feeling that we
have another good Academy team. and
kindly note that we have had a good
many of them yet the writer has seen
no cleaner, faster game than this one.
Jewell in the box was master of the
situation from the start, and total of
only three hits in nine innings and six
teen strike-outs is enough said on the
defensive side. especially when you re-
m ember that he had perfect support
and that Johnson on the receiving end,
was pegging them down to second on
tn Il few chances given him. The stick
w )rk of the boys was on par with
the rest of the game and they had a
total of nine hits to their credit. In
the third with two on, Pike met the
ball sQuarely on the nose for a home
run and the game was safely tucked
away right there. but for the sake of
batting practice other members of the
team added to the interest by laying
down safe ones.
Orleans played .stubbornly and there
was not sign of handing B.. A. any
laurels until the game was over; that
they failed to connect with JEWELL
delivery except in one inning and that
they did not relieve the first pitcher
earlier in the game after B. A. had
fathomed his delivery. accounts fol-
the score running high. Orleans has
the making of good team aud we pre-
dict much closer score when next
they meet.
