campus Saturday afternoon, in which
the girls endeavored to put over
few points in favor of equal suffrage.
The local team, mindful of the

any stronger than the six points men

mentioned should start or possibly out
of sheer bravado.
At any event the six points mention
ed were all the points tailed by the
judges without regard to those that
might have been made.
The young women made their points
chiefly because the locals let them
slip by with no attempt at rebuttal.
Though it can be said they worked
hard for what they got and presented
a fine argument in their favor. But
ward and Ellard gave a poor impress
sion of their ability when they went
out on strikes without making swing
at the ball in the first session. Capt.
Dennison, who by the businesslike
way she played during the afternoon
made a great hit with the crowd, was
the next to bat and gained the good
side of the fans when she stepped into
the ball with a fast swing and lifted
a fly to center field for the last out.
The locals, hardly knowing just
what to expect, thought they would
make it safe anyway, so proceeded to
hit around. AS every ball went
through without being touched every
thing went for hit in the score book
and six runs came across. Hoernle
showed himself the only real gentle
man in the bunch by making three
desperate atmosphere destroying
blows at the ball for the first out.
Hoernle, by the way, displayed much
gallantry during the game by refrain
ing to hit, but was run a close second

The old English dances by the
shepherds and dairy maids and the

two of the prettiest scenes of the pag-

The success with which the pageant

the people of st. Johnsbury one of
the artistic treats of the year.

BRANTVIEW PAGEANT
''Ye ReveIs of Stratford Towne"
Splendidly Produced Under the.
Auspices of Local ID. A. r.

"Ye Revels of Stratford Towne," a
pageant, presented under the auspices
of the ST. John de Crevecoeur Chap
ter, D. A. r., was given before a large
and delighted audience at Brantview.
Wednesday evening and Thursday af-
ternoon and evening.
The exceptional scenic effects, to-
gether with the brilliant costumes and
the competent manner in which each
part was taken gave those who at
tended the treat of the year in that
line of entertainment.
The Stratford fair with the attend
ant shepherds and dairymaids, viii
layers and children, the peddlers,
cherry sellers and ale booth jewelers.,
Will Shakespeare himself and the
lords and ladies against the back
ground of natural scenery, brought
the sixteenth century back again in
fancy to st. Johnsbury for a time.
Much credit is due Miss Margaret
B. Merrill, under whose direction the
production was presented. for the ex-
cellent manner in which the pageant
was staged.
The prologue, Weave we now a
fairy spell, listen all, and mark it
WELL" was delightfully."- presented in
uduce Dy OISrIu EcklOn anu Acne
Gilman.
The singing by Mrs. Cosgrove and
by Agnes Hawkinson as the cherry
seller were finely rendered, as were
the solos by G. r. Bollinger of the
ale booth jewellers.
Malvolio Befooled, a scene from
Twelfth Night, was finely acted, each
character being exceptionally well
executed.
Miss Bertha Swift, as Sir Toby
Belch, gave a real Interpretation of
this humorous part, and the others
in the scene entered into the comedy
with spirit and gave it in such a man
ner as to make a decided hit with
the audience. Each part showed
much individual effort toward max
ing the whole a success.
Miss Gratia Balch took the part of
Sir Andrew Aguecheek; Malvolio was
Miss Alice Warden; Fabian, Mrs.
Philip Thompson; Olivia, Mrs. Frank

pulled off three brilliant errors in IA
vor Of the girls.
Then Berry was obligingly caught
at the plate for another out and
Faulkner bashfully retired on strikes
The Boston Girls scored in the
fourth and sixth stanzas.
In the fourth the Misses Denehy
and Ostler put over a bonafide hit a
piece when Keefe served them over
quite softly, and together with a cou-
pie of glaring errors by Walizer and
Maginnis, and some extremely polite
playing by the rest, the boomers gar
nered two runs.
The. three scores in the sixth were
also put over in about the same man
ner.
The infield displayed at this time
a combination pass in which the OBJ
ject was to see how many hands the
ball could pass through before the
young woman could reach first. If the
girl was caught after the ball was
hit to Shay. it passed from him to
Common to Maginnis, sometimes in
Guiding Faulkner, the play was sue
cess. This was pulled off a number
of times with varying degrees of sue
cess.
But altogether the girls from Bos-
ton gave a good exhibition and were
recognized as game" from start to
finish. They handled the ball we'll
and played in good form. NJ. Denehey
in the sixth stole second and third,
sliding in approved style, and featured
the game by making a pretty slide
home with the first score.
Key to the score:
Hits by the Boston Girls represent
slow balls thrown over by Keefe.
Hits by the locals are balls laid
down by the locals with the hope the
girls could get a put-out.
Errors by the locals represent little
bits of courtesy shown during the
game, ETC., etc.

BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING IF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
kSays glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.

If you wake up with bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; if your
head is dull or aching; if what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stom-
ach, or you are bilious, cOnstipated,
nervous, sallow and can't get feeling
just right, begin inside bathing. Drink
before breakfast, glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This will flush the
poisons and toxins from stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels and cleanse,
sweeten and purify the entire alimen-
tary tract. Do your inside bathing i'm
mediateIy upon arising in the morning
to wash out of the system all the pre-
vious days poisonous waste, gases and
sour bile before putting more food into
the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body I'M
purities, get from your pharmacist a
quarter pound of limestone phosphate
which is inexpensive and almost taste
less. except for a sourish twinge which
is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Men and women
who are usually cOnstipated, bilious,
headachy or have any stomach dis
order should begin this inside bathing
before breakfast. They are assured
they will become real cranks on the
subject shortly.

Amusements of Pioneer Wisconsin

The pioneers of Wisconsin were
not averse to varying the monotony
of their existence by an occasional
practical joke. During. the forties
and fifties they found an outlet for
such diversions i'm a burlasque Sc
cret society known as the Oriental
Evanic Order of 1901. The tricks of
this organization sometimes led to
strange revelations as may be judged
from the following story related of
an Fastener who once came to
GAINESVILLE to deliver a lecture on
astronomy. Induced to join the mys-
ferrous order upon the representation
an audience he permitted himself to
be taken for initiation to the hall of
the society. Here he heard a hol-
low voice, said by those present to
be the spirit of Confucius Spiritual
ism was then a new and widely-dis-
cussed phenomenon in the country,
and the frightened victim was COM
pletely taken in. The voice, upon
being questioned, proceeded to lay
bare the rather doubtful past of the
initiate. The unhappy dupe bore
it as long as he could, then frantic
ally imploring the spirit to desist,
offered to reveal all the rest OF his
life history himself. He thereupon
unburdened himself of a confession
so truthful and detailed that it be-
came necessary to stop him lest he
furnish evidence that would hang
him anywhere in the Union Need
less to say, after this initiation, the
lecture that had been advertised was
never delivered.
