Academy Notes

Opposed to the state champions
from Spaulding high school, St. j.
A. was forced to take defeat in the
first game of the se@son on the
campus Saturday afternoon, the Wis
itors winning 10 to 6. Rather than
being discouraged at this result the
locals were spurred on to greater en-
deavor and Coach Gould is confident
that their good showing Saturday
will make the team a force to be
reckoned with in scholastic football
before the snow flies.
Last Friday night the school gave
benefit for the Athletic association.
1t took the form of a social hour.
Sargent's orchestra furnished music,
and ice cream and cake were sold.
There was large attendance of
students and friends of the school.
The benefit closed at 1880 and all
pronounced the affair a success. Mr..
Gould. Mr.. Wood, Miss Johnson and
Miss Smiley acted as PATRONS and pat
ronesses.
On Friday morning the athletic
director, Mr.. Gould, instructed the
school in giving cheers. Horace
Masse and Highland Parker acted as
cheer leaders. Much enthusiasm was
displayed

AS the bird population is dimin-
ishing by the return of the summer
residents to their southern winter
homes, one notes with pleasure the
particular friendliness of those that
are later in leaving.

all in their fall suits of brown with
conspicuous yellow touches, are seen
In great numbers even in the trees

The juncos that have nestled on our
wooded hills are coming about our
houses now; the plumage Of both
adult and young is a more brownish
gray than in the spring, but the

a Scotch Preacher Who Proved Him

The magic power of eloquence to
hold an audience bound as by a spell
Is commonly credited to the political
stump speaker. But that some Of this
gift of fascination is to be found In
the pulpit the Rev. DR.. Currier makes
clear in his book, "Nine Great Preach
ers.' To show the Importance of the
voice and manner in delivering the
message he tells the following story
of the preaching of the Rev. DIR. Guth-
RE of Scotland:
Guthrie possessed to an eminent de-
gree the power of apt, impressive IL
lustration. Joined to the witchery of
his voice, it sometimes amounted to a
power of enchantment. His auditors
were then spellbound by it.
An amusing instance is presented in
the conduct of a Highland cattle
drover one day in Guthrie's cOngrega-
ton in Free st. Johns. The man
stood throughout the service in one of
the crowded aisles within a few yards
of the pulpit From the first he was
riveted. a pinch of snuff every now
and then evincing his satisfaction. To
ward the end of the sermon and just
as the preacher was commencing a
prolonged illustration. the stranger APP
piled to his horn null.
Arrested, however. he stood motion
less, his hand raised with the snuff
between his fingers, his head thrown
back, his eyes and mouth wide open.
The instant the passage was finished,
and before the audience had time to
recover their breath, the drover ap-
piled the snuff with gusto to his nos
trils, and, forgetting in his excitement
alike the place and the occasion he
turned his head to the crowd behind
and exclaimed. INA, sirs, never
heard the like of thatw
