MIDI SCORES 5 POINTS IN n. {. |.
Ranks Flfth-Jones Stars With
Five Points

Middlebury scored eight points at the
New England Intercollegiates last Sat
urday and ranked fifth among the eight
colleges represented, Only three men
were sent down to represent the Col
lege; Lee, n, Darby, 10, and Jones,
10, Jones was the star point winner
for Middlebury, placing second in the
mile run and third in the two mile run
and scoring five points. He was the
favorite for the two'mile race but his
running Of the mile just previous with
rest of only 2S minutes between had
taken too much out of him and he could
only place third,
Lee made the other three points for
MIDI, took third in the pole vault and
fourth in the high hurdles, Darby ran
a hard race in the quarter but a bad
start defeated his chances Of placing
higher than fifth. The meet was won
by M. |. T., with Brown a close second.
Pollard, the great half-back Of Brown
was the individual star.
In view of the fact that MIDI had
only three men entered in the meet her
showing was very credtable and Coach
Holmes is to be congratulated on the
work of his men, Holy Cross, Trinity
and Boston College with more men
entered failed to score as many points
as did Middlebury,

Why Farmer Browns Boy Got
No Potatoes.

1t was the morning after Jimmy
Skunk's inquisitiveness had led him to
jump down from the window of Farm
er Browns cellar into the cellar to see
what 1t was like down there and II
there might not be something good to
eat there. Jimmy had been sadly dis
appointed. There was plenty to eat.
but not for Jimmy. Everything was
where Jimmy couldn't get at it, and he
But this was nothing compared to his
feelings when he discovered that.
though he had been able to get into
that cellar easily, he couldn't get out.
He couldn't climb to that window, and
that was the only way out that he
could see. Right then and there he
wished that he hadn't been so inquisi-
tive.
For a while Jimmy had prowled
around grumbling. Then he had curled
up in a corner behind a barrel and gone
to sleep. If he couldn't eat he could
sleep, and he had long before learned
that the easiest way to forget troubles
is to go to sleep. So Jimmy Skunk was
curled up behind a barrel fast asleep
when Mrs. Brown decided that she
went down cellar to get them.
Now, like most of the little people
of the Green Meadows and the Green
Forest. Jimmy Skunk is light sleeper.
Suddenly his eyes few wide open. There
was a queer noise inside that barrel be-
hind which he was curled up. 1t
sounded Interesting. Jimmy cooked up
one ear, then the other, and listened.
He wasn't sure whether those sounds
came from inside the barrel or from
the other side of the barrel or from

MACHINE GUNS ON AUTO.
Thousand May Be Added to Defenses
of New York,

NEW YORK. July IA thousand
machine guns. majority Of them to be
mounted on small automobiles. may be
added to the defenses Of New York II
recommendations contained in the re-
ports of a test made to army officials
are adopted. The plan calls for $50
small motor cars each mounting ma
chine gun. to be subject to call on
short notice, the other $50 machine
guns to be mounted on the roofs of tall
buildings. Tenants and employees of
the buildings would form the crews of
the guns on their roofs, while the own
ers of the automobiles would be expect
ed to volunteer their services as driv-
ers and gunners.
Army officials, 1t was said, at first
expressed doubt as to the accuracy of
guns so mounted. A test of a machine
gun mounted on an automobile near
here yesterday Is said to have proved
the value Of the plan.

both. He would Investigate and find
out. Slowly he got to his feet, for you
know he never hurries, yawned, and
then calmly walked around the
barrel.
Now. Mrs. Brown had nearly filled
her apron with potatoes and was just
reaching for last one when in the
half light of the cellar she saw some
thing white moving.
My land" she exclaimed. what can
that be?'
She stared for half minute and then
she saw clearly that that white thing
was the broad stripe on Jimmy Skunks
back That was all she waited to see.
Yes, sir, that was all she waited to see.
She screamed. Yes. sir. Mrs. Brown
screamed. At the same time she let go
of her apron and away went the po-
tatoes in every direction over the floor
of the cellar. One of them actually hit
Jimmy Skunk on the head. 1t almost
made him lose his temper. But it didn't
quite. which was fortunate for Mrs
Brown.
AS for the latter she scrambled up
those cellar stairs in way that wasn't
in the least dignified. In fact, she went
up those stairs faster than she ever
got to the top she slammed the door
and locked it. Yes, sir. she locked 1t
just as if she expected Jimmy Skunk
to open it if it wasn't locked.
FOR goodness sake, what IS the
natter" demanded Farmer Browns
boy. who happened to come into the
kitchen just then. rs there a bur-
glar down cellar?"
Moo" painted Mrs. Brown. but
there is skunk down there. He
walked right out from behind the po-
tato barrel, and 1 guess you'll go with
out potatoes for your dinner. How ever
we are going to get him out of there I
don't know. Isn't it terrible?"

DRIVER OF "BLACK MARIA"
HAS HAD JOB AZ YEARS
Dick Anderson Tells of His Expert
ences With Police Court Prisoners.
Knew Guiteau.

Dick Anderson, as the colored driver
OF the. Police Court van, commonly
called the "black MARIA" is so famil-
iarly known. has completed his forty
second year in the service.
''I don't know" said the veteran Dis
trlct employe today, but I guess I've
hauled as many as ten thousand pris-
oners in all that time; that's whole
lot of people"
Dicks guess was far from hitting the
mark. The number he has actually
hauled. II is stated, is much nearer one
quarter of a million than 1t is ten
thousand. and some of the court at
taches who are familiar with his work
say the number will go far beyond the
larger figure.
1t was back in Judge SHELLS time that
Richard Anderson received his appoint
ment. He had come here from Caroline
county. Va, presented good appear
ance and had friends enough to land
the job for him. Hundreds Of the old
TIMERS who appeared in court at regu-
lar intervals knew and respected the
driver of the "black maria"
Many OF the prisoners seemed to have
had an idea that Dick Anderson could
say a good word for them at the jail or
workhouse. II Is stated, and for that rea-
son they always wanted to remain on
friendly terms with him. Then, too. the
have treated them had they been pay
Ing passengers and the vehicle had be-
longed to him.
Conveying only Police Court prisoners.
it seldom happened that a person charged
with a capital offense rode with him. He
came IN contact with most of them In Jail,
however. and always showed a willing
ness to help them, and many men who
were in the shadow Of the gallows had
Dick look after some of their worldly
affairs.
While he was perfectly willing to assist
them up to the day OF their execution,
DICK seldom expressed a desire to wit
ness their ending. He did consent to wit
ness the execution of James Madison Wy
att stone, colored, for wife murder, how
ever. but stones decapitation dispelled
that desire from him forever afterward.
Did / know Charles j. Guiteau, the
assassin? he repeated. when asked
about the slayer Of President GARFIELD.
II got to know him very WELL" he
added.
When at the jail with Police Court
prisoners the driver would visit the as
sassin while waiting for his papers. On
the occasion Of one such visit, Guiteau
heard DICK ask one of the guards II he
would purchase ticket
For what?' shouted Guiteau from
his cell, having heard what he said.
For an entertainment" he answered,
explaining that he was participating in
contest for a sword and belt to wear
on the occasion of parades of the In
dependent Order of Moses
"Guiteau told me he was always will
ing to help the poor" said Anderson,
handing over a 25-cent piece and
remember the coin was made in 1876,
the year of the centennial celebration
in Philadelphia"

TAK0MA PARK CITIZENS
ASK BETTER CAR SERVICE
File Protest Against Half-Hour
Schedule Of the Washington and
Maryland Railroad.

A hundred passengers on the car, with
one car every half hour. is the service
given patrons Of the Washington and
Maryland Railroad Company, according to
a protest filed with the public utilities
commission by more than 500 residents of
Takoma Park. Md. urging that adequate
service be ordered.
In the petition filed with the commits
sion the Marylanders ask that the Capital
Traction Company and the Washington
and Maryland Railroad Company be COM
PEELED at once to give reasonably adequate
service between Takoma Park and this
city.
1t is declared that at present the service
is limited to one small car every half
hour, and as a result, the morning and
evening cars frequently carry as many as
100 passengers at a trip. This results, it
Is declared. in a condition that Is we'll
nigh intolerable. They say 1t is claimed
by the Washington and Maryland com
pany that the new line will not be COM
pleted until late in the summer, and no
relief is promised before that time.
The petitioners say they see no reason
why the company could not run at least
one car every fifteen minutes during the
rush hours.
The utilities commission has asked the
railway companies for reply to the com
plant.
