The Last Game of Season Re-

From Everywhere.

Chicago. Oct. An the tightest
league race ever staged, the Chicago
Federals Sunday nosed out Pittsburg
in the second game of a double
header, after having dropped the first
game, and thereby won the penrant.
Darkness held off just long enough
to permit the Chicago team to take
the title. Three runs in the sixth in
ming of the second game settled the
ownership of the emblem.
The league race was in doubt until
the final game was played, as for
weeks past there had been constant
shifting of positions on the part of
Pittsburg. Chicago and st. Louis. the
Missouri city not being eliminated un-
til when a defeat by Kansas City put
her out of the running.
The three teams finished with only
little over three points separating
them. The final unofficial stand
ing is:
Clubs Won. Lost Pet.

while the second was called after the
visitors half of the seventh inning.
In the first game Chicago seemingly
had the game and pennant won.
leading by three runs up to the ninth
inning, when, with two out, the visit
ors showed three tallies across. tying
the score Pittsburg won in the
eleventh with another tally
In the second game. darkness began
to settle over the fild in the fourth in
ming, while KnetZer and Bailey were
both going in good form, neither side
having been able to score. With this
game needed by Chicago to win the
pennant the locals went to bat in the
sixth inning determined to put at least
one major league pennant in Chicago
Three runs resulted and the game was
of darkness
The crowd was variously estimated
at from $4,000 to $4,000.

Edison F. Kinney Still Remembered.

The Curtis Publishing Company still
seem to be interested in Edison F. Kin
ney, who competed for a pony through
the Bigelow Pharm acy Agency for the
Curtis publication, last year, and won
against 1000 other hoys. The Curtis
Publishing Company have now appoint
ed him expert salesman, in the League
of Curtis salesman, which is a sig
nal honor. He is also considered for
promotion to master salesman in De-
cem6er. If he wins this appointment,
the Curtis Publishing Company agree to
secure him good salaried position with
some reputable employer in his home
town. When one stops to consider the
mammoth undertaking of boy in a
country town winning out against 1900
competitors throughout the country in
the sale of magazine, it not only
speaks well for the boy, but for the
enterprise of the Bigelow Pharmacy
which conducted the sale.

the opinion of clergy men who visited
the town and observed impartially,
as may be supposed, the situation of
the population as regarding their
religious interests, was generally ex-
pressed in favor of the Falls as the

seemed to have been a growing con-
viction that sooner or later our
meetings would have to become set

BEST WIDTH OF GOOD ROADS
Ways, Were Not Wide-BuiIt for
Service and Profit.

One of the best roads | have ever
driven over was just wide enough for
two vehicles to pass without scraping
the paint off each others hubs. | am
not sure that sometimes the hubs did
not touch. But it was road that
was always in good condition and the
men who kept it up seemed to do so
with comparative ease, writes w. E.
Rose of Iowa in Farm Progress.
Some of the old turnpikes, still our
best roadways, were not a rod m
width. When these roads were built
they were built for both service and
profit, and in figuring the future prof
its the builders saw that the wider the
roadway and the wheel track the more
maintenance cost and, therefore, the
less profits.
1t Is pity that the men who laid
out the first 60-foot and 66-foot high
ways hadn't taken a leaf from the
book Of the turnpike builders. If they
had we would not have millions of
acres of land lying worse than idle
along our public highway right of ways.
Say that the road runs 20 miles from
county seat to county seat. Along its
length there will be anywhere from 80
to 100 acres of land growing up in
weeds, road grass, brush and thickets
where it is not being washed into deep
roadside gullies. Why, in some states
there is full half million acres OF
land that is being wasted in Just
that way and land in these states is
selling anywhere from $50 to 5000
an acre!
Many of the best and most famous
roads of Europe are but 1872 feet in
width and they handle some of the
very heaviest highway traffic. Right
now in those counties and townships
in this country where hard roads, per-
manent highways, are being construct
cd, few of them are being built more
than Is feet wide and a good many
of them are even narrower.
The railroads, wasteful as they are
in some things, are beginning to real
ize the waste of useless right of way

Gen. F. G. Butterfeld, Oscar C. Mil
Ter, Myron A. Adams, Elk. Gov. Josiah
Grout and Principal Geo. j. Trueman,
made brief addresses on pertinent edu-
eational topics and related many inter-
esting incidents of the days of the log
and red school house.
Principal Trueman's talk was more
particularly to the children, and he rath-
er excelled himself. He wrote the name
of the hamlet in which the school build
ing is located, Glen Derby, and said the
letters involved in the makeup of these
words were suggestive: i. e., might
stand for gladness, for loyalty, for
earnestness, n for noble, d for daring,
e for efficiency, for reasonableness, b
for beautiful, and y for yourself. The
ingenuity of this address alone would
have left deep impression upon the
young people, but the speakers practi-
cal application of each quality of school
life, or the life work of all within the
hearing of his voice, evidently gripped
all for their good. 1t was pleasure to
watch the faces of the children as he
led them to higher aspirations. When
a reference was made to shoe backing,
during his period on neatness in appear
ance, nearly every boy and some of the
girls examined their boots out of the
"tail of their eyes" Mr.. Trueman
knows the heart of the average bow and
girl beautifully, and this word carries
just the meaning the writer wishes to
imply, he loves them; and the savings
and doings that spring from the heart
of man or woman in expressing their
love for children, is the most wonderful
thing in the world, and the very best
thing of all, it works wonders in both.
No greater blessing can come to a man
or woman than the love and confidence
of child.
Mrs. Margaret Kelley's address of
appreciation revealed to her auditors
that the chief motive of her work for
the children in the schools of Derby, as
superintendent. possesses the ring of
sincerity and intelligence; she wants
them right, true and efficient, and evil
IDENTIFY is well equipped for her task. it
is splendid change in the school law of
the state, that makes it possible for her
to give her whole time to the schools of
the town.
The West Derby orchestra of seven
pieces furnished the music; nearly all
of it's members were boys in knicker-
bockers, and did very creditable work
under the direction of young McCauley.
This portion of the town now possesses
the requisite plant and tools for an ag-
gressiye educational, uplifting work
This school is in charge of a daughter
of Loren F. Kay, and her appearance
created a favorable impression with
those interested in the school work of

are favorable. She certainly has big

cooperation, there is splendid material

Dedication of Glen Derby's New
School Building.

There was large gathering of Glen
Derby citizens and others from various
parts of the town of Derby, at the new
school building, Friday afternoon, to
dedicate, by appropriate exercises, the
building erected this season for new
school home. In former issue of the
EXPRESS AND STANDARD a full descrip-
tion of the structure was given and the
proper credit given to those who partici-
pated in its inception and construction.
The afternoons program fully occu-
pied the time from 200 to 500 o'clock.
F. 7. Caswell of Derby Line did
the honors as chairman most fittingly,
and the portion of the program given
by the school children was very com
mendable, showing the large amount of
work the teachers must have done that
such results should obtain; it was all
very enjoyable.
Rev. George Pomfrey, pastor of the
Baptist church, West Derby, made the
opening prayer. The contractor and
builder, Arthur o. Norris, was in
troduced by the chairman, very briefly
replying and in turn presented the keys
of the building to Loren f. Kay,
the representative of the board of Sc
lectnen; Mr.. Kay on behalf of the board
and town turned over the keys to Geo.
Lockhart Of the board of education, and
the school plant, by far the best in
town, became an important unit of the
school plant of Derby.
