Where "Dun" Came From.

Dun" is a word now whose mean
ing is known to everyone who under
stands the English language. Early in
the nineteenth century, constable
named John Dun became celebrated
as a first-class collector of bad ac-
counts. When others you'd fail to
collect bad debt, Dun would be sure
to get it out of the deAtor. 1t soon
passed into current phrase that wneH a
person owed money AMI did not pay
when asked, he would have to be
"dunned." Hence it soon became
common in such cases 10 say: You
will have to dun So.andSo ii you wish
to collect your money"

Something in Your Eye?

When you get something in your
eye do the best you can to suppress
the instinct to rub the eye. Then pull
the lower lid up and the upper lid out
and the particle in the eye will be dis
lodged by the tears which flow across
the eyeball in torrent; they will be
washed out and will appear in the cor
ner of the eye. If any chemical is
thrown into the eye, do not wait to
look in a book for an antidote; the
best thing is plain water; or if you
have time and it is handy, use a plain
salt solution, a teaspoonful in a pint
Of water, either hot or cold. This will
wash 1t out quicker than you can wait
to neutralize it in some other way

COLBY DEFEATED
IN GREAT CAME
WITH MAINETEA
Colby Fails to Maintain Burst of
Speed Gained in the Eight and
Is Humbled in the Twelfth

Waterville, Me, April 19.-(SpeciaD.
defeated Colby on Alumni heic
Wednesday. the score being s to in
- innings. The unexpected was that
the Colby team with very little prac-
tice and playing the first game OF the
season was able to do SO well. There
was much of encouragement in the
work Of the Colby men. During the
first few innings they acted as though
they did not know just what to do
with the ball when they got it In their
hands and there was number OF er-
rors Of omission and commission. Al
ter the fifth they steadied down ana
played a great deal better ball, tlelnS
up the score in the eighth on some
good baseball and a couple OF solid
hits. The team in spite or the large
rumber Of strikeotlts looks like hit
ting team and the work OF Mathews
in the box was encouraging. AshWorth
and Driscoll look like the two best
finds in the Freshman class and their
all-around playing was first class in
every particular. The game was very
slow, lasting for three and one-half
hours. Part Of this was due to the
slowness of play and of course the l.
innings carried it out to an unreason-
able hour. Up until the eighth inning
there was very little to stir the blood
but in that inning the Colby team
seemed to strike a real gait and before
the side was retired, they had batted
Stewart from the rubber and had tied
up the score. They lad a chance to
win in the 11th when with a man on
third and two out, Mathews, the pitch
er, came up but he was unable to de-
liver. Maine won out in the 18th on
somewhat Of a f1uke. Lawry, the first
man up, hit one we'll over Deaseys
head In right field. which was good for
three bases, but he cut first base by
several feet. The attention Of the um-
pire was called to 1t but he had failed
to see 1t and the hit went for three
bases. A long drive to the outfield and
some errors sent four runs across be-
fore the side was retired and settled
the question Of who would be returned
the winner. For the first game it was
very satisfactory from a Colby point
Of view. The score:
