Basket Ball;

Norway High lost both their games Of
basket ball played away from homo tht
past week. On Thursday evening they
" emit to Bridgton and met defeat at the
hands Of Bridgton High in hard fought
game by the score OF IS to II. Saturday
afternoon they played Gould Academy
at Bethel, aud like all teams that visit
Bethel found the small playing surface
with the four posts that are on the floor
severe handicap to their team play
The score of this game was Gould Acad.
envy 16, Norway High 8.
Because OF the fact that the Opera
House has been let for another attrac-
ton for Friday evening of this week.
Norway High was forced to call off its
game which was scheduled with Deering
High and ask them to accept later
date. Norway will attempt to arrange a
game out of town for Friday enening.
There Is movement on foot to get
the members Of last years fast team to-
gether for game to be played during
the holiday season at Christmas time.
Sanderson, Shepard, Klain and Has
kell were all in Norway at Thanksgiving
and gave assurances that they would be
here for Christmas and would be glad to
take part In such game. There is
some doubt about being able to get
Smith here for the game, but the fans
are In hopes that be can be persuaded to
come. As all of these men are playing
the game again this year either in COL
lege or on Independent teams, they
should be in shape for fast contest and
there is no question that large crowd
would turn out to see them again In &C
ton, as they are all big favorites. The
team that will oppose them will be the
Portland Independents, if 1t is possible
to make arrangements for them to come
at that time. This team Is also we'll
liked here and would make strong at
traction,

Saturday night Sheriff VIM. o. Froth'
ingham and Deputy Sheriffs E. c. Libby
and D. A. Cole made an unannounced
call on poker game at which four men
were sitting in, at the stable of j. l. Mil
lett on Danforth Street, Norway. From
the cordial manner in which they were
greeted before it was seen who they
were, it was evident that more company
was expected.
Two packs OF cards and quantity OF
checkers which were being used as chips
were seized, aud the four men were or.
dered to appear in the Norway Municipal
Court at 8 o'clock Monday forenoon.
At the hearing Monday the four men
all testified that they had not been play
ing for money, and all we're discharged.

Season of PLAYS OPENS.

Belle, the Typewriter Girl" drama
in five acts, was presented in Grange
Hall TO a fair-sized audience Thursday
evening, and on Friday evening there
was better house. Other attractions,
present and in prospect, doubtless al
fected the size of the houses.
While the play is rather melodramatic
in its situations, it does not please so
well as many others, largely because
there is little chance TO laugh in it, prac'
,ically all the comedy element being sup
piled by the secret service man in the
guise of Hebrew trying TO sell gold
mine.
A. l.. Holmes as John Randall, a re-
turned miner with fortune in dia-
monds, made his only appearance in the
first act, and closed the act by falling
and succumbing TO a heart attack. The
fortune thus suddenly left by him fell
into the hands of Simon Morgan, the
banker, played by Ernest j. Record.
This made it incumbent upon Mr.. Rec
ord 10 portray a character as ruthless
and INSCRIPTIONS as Is ever seen IN
modern times even on the stage, and
he did it well 1t was in fact on his viii
lainies that all the action of the play
was based.
A villain of little different shade
was Edward Blake, chief clerk of Nor
gan, for underneath all his crimes which
grew out of his own weaknesses, he had
a little spark of manhood which prompt
ed him to the endeayor TO make restitu-
ton. This part was played by Francis
Shaw.
As Ralph Morgan, the bankers son,
Harry Shaw had the role of the son dis
owned by his father, who remains faith
full through good days and evil days
but mostly the latter-to the girl he
loves.
In the part of the putative Jew, Abe
Cohen, Harold Merrill had a makeup
and a dialect which did full justice to
the part, and with the readiness and
adaptability which he has so many times
shown, relieved the general somberness
of the atmosphere and made things
"come out all right" at last.
Mrs. Harold Fletcher as Belle Randall,
the special target of most of the vlllainy
of the piece, maintained winsome per-
sonality and an unvarying courage
throughout all her trials, and Miss Lena
Franck as Mrs. Randall well portrayed
the we'll to-do head of a household re-
duced to poverty and persecution,
Music for the play and dance follow
ing each evening was by Mrs. Carl 5.
Briggs at the piano, DIR. Briggs violin,
Philip 5. Jones cornet, Howard w.
Shaw clarionet.

about Mollie's beaux and how
hard 1t was for Mollie to stay on

stances.

of something overheard Dick
tell Jim Edie the other night.
They were talking of a. mutual
friend who had fallen in love or,
perhaps, it would be better to say,
was having an AFFAIR with his
stenographer.
Dick" said Jim. 81 may be
many kinds of fool, but l thank
my stars | am not the kind that

works for me-"

for some of my other friends.

chance. A man just cant behave

must accept q lover or lose her

Look at the mixup. II the
girl really cares for him, he loses
good stenographer and oftimes
on the other hand, If the girl is
not in love with him he will lose
her anyway, for no woman can
put up with the usual grouchs
dictation of the average business
man after he has once told her
she is the one wonderful girl
and she has refused to believe
him.
IF the girl accepts, there will
certainly come time when the
affair is off and she loses her
lover as we'll as her job"
"I'll tell you what, Jim," said
Dick, with laugh, when either
of us gets to a point where ne
feels that he must make love to
a stenographer, you come over
and make love to mine and I'll
go over and make love to yours"
1t was all joke, know, but
l hated to have Dick and Jim
make jokes of that kind about
women. How in the world could
Jim EGie think he was in love
with Mollie and make such re-
marks about being in love with
other women?
Little book, 1t is always a
source of wonder and disgust to
me to hear man boast of his
success with women. | have
never known a man who has not
at some time joked about his love
affairs with some women. They
seem to think 1t reflects on their
masculinity to profess to be per-
fectly devoted and satisfied with
one woman.
/ sometimes think we have
long ways to go before men snd
women can come to a distinct un-
derstanding of their true reIa-
lions to each other.

This may all be talk, but It dis
gusts and hurts a good woman.

to me In SO many words, IL have
never yet seen woman who ap-
pealed to me that could not

could not help remarking "the
woman who appeals to you must
be a queer kind of creature"
He was cad, of course, but,

Up behind Pyramid peak we
went, across Pyramid park and
along the end of the fan-shaped
Pyramid glacier.
In the late forenoon we reach
ed the Kautz. and SAVIOR Just
a moment-an impressive panor-
anna of dizzy-high canyon walls
and far-reaching valley and foot
hills, with the Tatoosh range
ahead.
For just a moment, I said.
Because almost simultaneously
with our arrival there rolled up
the canyon, with that speed IA
miliar to mountain frequenters,
a pleasant-looking white cloud.
While we were abstractedly re-
connoitering out a possible means
of climbing down the canyon
wall, crossing the glacier and
ascending on the other side, this
cloud filled the entire canyon
and all surrounding landscape.
To proceed we knew would be
folly for anyone not familiar
with the course, so there, was
nothing to do but sit and wait.
.
Occasionally the cloud leased
us. 1t would rise enough to dis
close Van Trump's park on the
