WOODSMEN WOULD
FIGHT AT THE STATION

A bunch of woodsmen arrived from
Bangor Tuesday morning and as
usual they were all drunk. Just after
they left the train one of them sud
denly dropped his roll of clothing and
making a run jumped and grabbed
hold of a man who was some distance
ahead of him. The victim promptly
swung around and the scene was set
for a real battle but Patrolman Weiss
was on the job and was between the
combatants before any blows were
struck. He took the aggressor by the
collar and walked him across to his
train and saw that he was safely
aboard. The other fellow who was
also one of the crew got on the train
at the other end and the excitement
was all over. although there would
doubtless have been a real contest If
the officer had not been so promptly
on hand.

players were out Tuesday afternoon un-

planning on making up in speed what
the team lacks in weight. The squad

scrimmage work with two elevens lined
up against each other in some fast
work. The team will have one or two
good punters and some good men for
getting away and for handling the for
ward pass and appears to be strong In
these departments. 1t will also have
some backs who are fast on their feet
and will be able to take advantage of
openings in the line or around the end.
Coach Bagnall is bringing the team

there is plenty of time to work the boys

toward Combles, was swept from either

Prof. Brown prefaced his discourse
with his usual witty and captivating
strain of humor. He then laid stress on
the gradation of all living things, the
mission of each and of man as an in
dividual. He then applied his thoughts
to the power of mental forces, their ev-
olution and relation to modern educa-
tional work. He then laid down some

the school system. teachers. pupils and

Brown said in part:
THE evolution of our race was a
slow, hard process before man became
endowed with the power to take part
in directing his own progress. But
since that endowment, humanity has
advanced by leaps and bounds. The
processes Of education began when the
instructive will of the brute gave place
to the power Of free echoice-movement
in the direction Of least resistance to
that, often, Of greatest effort.
"The demand for education may thus

nature of the new man-mind. The
brute can be trained bu, he cannot be
