HAD TO CRITICIZE WRITING
Old Lady Was Grateful for Being En-
abied to Hear Sermon, but Truth
Was Truth.

A Killed regiment, while on the
march through a part of Scotland,
halted for a Sundays rest at one of
the remote villages in the Highlands,
where some of the Draw laddies were
billeted on the inhabitants
One old lady had to find a lodging
for two of the soldiers, Sandy and
Tam, and she was delighted to know
they were going to the kirk in the
evening, she herself being unable to
go. Her pleasure was increased when
one of her guests, who happened to
be an accomplished shorthand writer,
said in his sermon, though she had
her doubts as to how he would be
able to remember it all.
Sandy and Tam came back from
church, and the former read the SER
mon out from his notebook, to the
admiration and establishment of his
landlady, who had never heard of
shorthand, and had no idea how any
one could write as fast as the minis
ter spoke.
When Sandy had finished, and the
good lady had expressed her thanks
for the privilege of hearing the SER
mon, she asked him to let her look
at the book he had been reading from.
She seemed much disappointed, how
ever, because she could make nothing
of it.
At length, after a close inspection
of the mystic signs, she said to the
blushing warrior:
"Ye're grand laddie and a vera
! guide reader, but l must tell ye, and il
/ ] was your ain mither | wad haze to
admit it, ye're the vera wurrst writer
| | ever came across"

RICHMOND CAPTAIN
OF FOOTBALL TEAM
High School Junior Fastest Man of
Squad on His Feet-Likely to Be
Given BackfieId Position.

Abbott B. Richmond was elected
yesterday captain of the Brattleboro
high school football team for 1916. No
other elections were made yesterday.
Richmond, who is a Junior, has
played center ON the school team for
three years. He is the fastest man in
the squad on his feet, and as rowing
center on defense has had opportunity
to display his speed and his ability to
tackle.
Last fall, in one of the last games
of the season, he made the first touch
down of his football career, scooping
up the ball which had been blocked
and outsprinting his opponents.
There Is strong probability that as
captain he will be pulled from the
line and given a baekfeld position this
fall in order that full advantage may
be taken Of his weight, speed and
strength.

10000 ENOUGH, SAYS MILES.
Thinks People Would Repel Any Foe

WASHINGTON, Feb. l.-Major- Gen.

vocated a regular army of 100, 000 men,

Marketing Farm Products.

United States Senator Fletcher has
called a meeting of the national mar
keting committee to devise means to
aid the farmer in marketing his prod
ucts, and also to enable the consumer
to distinguish between the high cost
of food and the high cost of serv-
ice.
The farmers Of the country are pro-
ducing annually crops for which they
receive $4,000, 100000, and for which
the consumer pays, $27 100000"
said Representative W. S. Goodwin of
Arkansas, a member of the committee.
The farmer gets 80 cents and the
middleman gets 60 cents for each dol
lar the consumer pays for the farm
er's crops. There is an enormous
amount of waste, especially in perish
able products, because of the lack OF
some central directing intelligence"

600 a year to his widow.
George T. StaIlings has signed a
hve-ycars contract to manage the
Braves in spite Of the fact that his
first contract had two years to run.
1t is understood that the figures call

There is strong possibility that three
captains of Yale teams will resign
their positions because of scholastic
ineligibility. They are Black of the
football team, Schlaet of the swimming
team and Mcintyre of the wrestling
team.
Arthur Durgin. former Brown uni
versity baseball star and first baseman
for Keene in the Twin State league
in 1911 and 1912, has been signed by
Milwaukee as first baseman. He was
with Albany of the New York State
league last season, having been turned
over TO that team by Pittsburgh. He
batted 300.
1 If there is anyone in the wrestling
game who can give Stecher a hard rub

will be the young Westerner S next

take up wrestling again this summ9r
/ and If he finds that he still retains
his old strength and cunning a match
with Stecher will be arranged. Jack
Curley, the promoter, stands ready to
offer a big purse for the match in New
York.
The plan to appoint baseball play
er as an extra member of the National
commission next year would mean a
big boost for the game, according tc
the Judgment Of most baseball men
For one thing, it would bring the play
er and club owner into closer relation
ship and promote a more harmonious
state of affairs than exists in baseball
at the present time. The Baseball Play
ers fraternity has developed into +;
strong union, and club owners have
come to realize its power. As the play
er is the most important factor in th'
game there is no good reason why h'
) should not be represented in the high
) est tribunal in baseball.

OBJECTED TO THE BOOSTERS
Philadelphia Man Unable TO Appre-
ciate Chandeliers Greeting to
the Rosy Morn.

BOOSTERS that are described as hav-
ing "shrill and penetrating crows" and
hens that cackle increasingly are re-
sponsible for William Brounsworth
getting a summons to court to answer
to a charge of maintaining a nuis-
ance, the Philadelphia North Ameri
can says.
Complainant in the action, begun in
court No. l, is Andrew Heldrich, AIS
Lindley avenue, who lives next door to
Brounsworth. He alleges that the noise
of the roosters and chickens is de-
stroying the peace and quiet of his
home and making early morning sleep
impossible.
For some months past" the state
ment says, the defendant has been
keeping in his yard number of loud
voiced growing roosters and a large
number of hens, which have become
an intolerable nuisance, because the
ROSTERS have shriIl, penetrating crows
and they crow during all hours of the
night and early morning.
The Growing of the roosters and
the cackling of the hens have affected
the nerves of the complainant, his
wife and children, and their health is
threatened. The complainant's wife
has suffered complete nervous break
/ down and is under the care of a physi
| clan"
The court is asked to declare the
| chickens a nuisance

DREW RETURNS TO FORM.
Great Colored Splinter Performs in
Way to Give Satisfaction.

The return to form of Howard P
Drew, the great eolored sprinter, is
pleasing news for athletic enthusiasts,
says the New York Times. For some
time it was generally believed that
the former Springfield fiier had lost
his speed, but his splendid showing in
the Millrose A. A. games against
Loomis, Morse and Stephenson dispell-
ed this opinion. Drew on Wednesday
was apparently the same Drew of the
spring of 1914, when he stood alone in
his class, quick as a flash off his mark,
and even faster down the board lane
to the beckoning tape. There was no
sign of the lameness which probably
prevented the world 5 record holder
for 100 yards from winning the OIym-
pic championship in 1912, and handi-
capped him severely in the champion
ships at San Francisco last year. His
/ legs seemed as sound as ever. and his
performance of 2-5 seconds in the
| 70-yard special apparently verified aP,
pearances.
Much credit is due the sturdy col
ored runner, who, in order to gain
! academic and athletic knowledge, has
! had to forego many of the pleasures
of youth. To pay his way through col
/ lege. Drew worked as q baggage
smasher; he worked his way across
/ the country as Pullman porter tc
attend the University of Southern
/ California, and in order to prove his
superiority as a Splinter he worked hi,
way back East to participate in tn,
Millrose sports.
More will be seen Of Drew befor,
he returns to Caifornia-if he ever
does return-and fine performanc,
can be expected every time he starts
for he is out TO win in each race.

CUT SPEAKERS BIG SALARY.
Star outfieIder First to Feel Effects OF
Peace In Baseball.

Iris Speakers salary is to be re-
duced 1t was said that iris drew
nearly $4,000 per season, according to
his old contract, which expired last
fan. and there is no reason why he
should continue to draw that much
money. Speaker, of course, is a good
ball player, but he is not drawing
card as is Ty Cobb or Walter Johnson.
Furthermore, that Boston club needs
to cut down its salary list, which was
$135,000 last season. 1t cannot make
a respectable interest OH its investment
at such salaries, and Joe Lannin is
sure to cut most of the champions so
as to make it possible to make some
real money if his team should repeat
Just what effect this proposed cut
ting will have on the players who won
for Carrigan last season remains to be
seen, but usually a team which has
won a world championship can never
understand why it should not get in-
creases instead Of cuts.

KEEP AN EYE ON BROWNS.
Merger of Two st. Louis Teams Means
BIG THINGS For Mound City Fans.

The merger Of the Feds and Browns
in St. Louis undoubtedly win bring
about a revival Of intrest in the Mound
City. Fielder Jones is very apt to pick
a formidable team out of the com
bination of the two squads, and there
are reasons for believing he will be in
charge of a winner, in which event
large crowds would be assured. 1t has
been some time since the Missouri city
has had the kind of baseball the pa
irons of the game there would sub
stantially support, but a change seems
TO be in sight
Miller Higgins will have to get a
move on him in order to have a team
in the National league which will COM
pare with the Browns, and if he can
accomplish this st. Louis is in fair
way of having the greatest year in
its history, for two winners in town
