The girls of the Skowhegan High
school played the return game OF
basket ball with the Wateryille High
girls last Friday evening in Engine
Hall. The teams were evenly match
ed and the gan@ was hard fought
strenuous one, but fortune favored
the visitors who carried off the hon
ors by as close a margin as possible.
The game was an interesting one to
watch, for the girls of both teams
went into it for business. The atten-
dance was unusually large, and ex-
citement prevailed throughout the
evening, for first one team and then
the other was ahead,
The lineup was as follows:

LITTLE ONES WOULD INVENT
Might Be Good Thing for Children
if No Toys Could Be Bought
for Them.

mo tOys!" exclaims the fond and
svmpathetic mother, tragically, at the
mere mention of the toy business be-
ing one of those in danger of being
abolished as unnecessary during war
time. Oh, yes, little mother, there
would be toys-but they would not De
store TOYS. In fact, the children would
invent and make a great many or
them themselves. Dame Nature would
lend a hand, and you could help DIT,
fool There Is no doubt that children
must have toys of some sort-it is
the very cry of their little souls. Ne
cessitv is the mother of invention" so
with dire necessity staring them IN
the face-a pressing demand with no
supply-they would begin to invent
Moreover. being the work of their own
little brains and hands, such toys
would more easily please. Simple
minded and contented types of chill
Cfren would once again be the rule. not
the exception. What has the nursery
piled high with the latest and most
expensive toys produced? Nothing
but that contradiction of nature-the
child with nothing left to wish for!
What is there to stimulate his brains
or his imagination? Everything has
been thought out and imagined for
him. No wonder at the age of seven
or eight he finds life stupid" But
with nothing to play with would come
the wonderful idea of making some
thing.-Chicago News.

PROOF THAT WORLD MOVES
Simple Little Experiment Will Con-
vince the SkepticaI of Fact Pretty
Generally Conceded.

Take a good-sized bowl, fill 1T nearly
full of water and place 1t upon the
floor of a room which is not exposed to
shaking or Earring from the street.
Sprinkle over the surface of the water,
a coating of lycOpodium powder. Then
upon the surface of this coating of
powder make, with powdered charcoal,
straight black line, say, an inch or
two in length.
Having made this little mark with
the charcoal powder on the surface
of the contents of the bowl lay upon
the floor close to the bowl a stick or
some other straight object, so that it
will be exactly parallel with the mark.
If the line-happens to be parallel with
a crack in the floor or with any sta
tionary object in the room, this will
serve as well.
Leave the bowl undisturbed for
few hours and then observe the po-
sitiOn of the black mark with reference
to the object with which it was
parallel twill be found to have moved
in the direction opposite to the move
ment of the earth on it's axis. The
earth in simply revolving has carried
the water and everything else in the
bowl around with it, but the powder
on the surface has been left behind
little.
The line will always be found to
have moved from east to west, which
is perfectly good proof that everything
else has moved the other way.

CHAPTER XII.
When the World Ran Backward.

Esteban went about his plan OF de-
stroying Pancho Cueto with youthful
energy and zest. First he secured, at
some pains, half-stick of dynamite, a
cap and fuse, and a gallon or more of
kerosene; then he assembled his fol-
lowers and led them once again into
the San Juan.
La Joya was still tenanted when
early in the evening its rightful owner
arrived the house and some of it's out
buildings showed lights. Esteban con-
cealed his men. While the horses
cropped and the negroes rested he fit
ted fuse and cap to his precious piece
of dynamite.
Now while Esteban was thus busted,
PanchO Cueto was entertaining an I'M
welcome guest. In the late afternoon
he had been surprised by the visit of a
dozen or more volunteers, and mas
much as his relations with their colo
mel had been none of the friendIiest
since that ill-starred expedition into
the Yumuri, he had felt chill of ap-
prehension on seeing the redoubtable
Cobo himself at their head.
The colonel had explained that he
was returning from a trip up the San
Juan, taken for the purpose of round
ing up those inhabitants who had been
dilatory in obeying the new orders
from Havana. That smoke to the south
ward was from fires of his kindling:
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1918-06-04

behind the fellows tireless persecu-
tons of the valley dwellers; for, in
spite of their Isolation, stories of Cobo
had reached the refugees that
had rendered both the boy and the girl
sick with apprehension. The colonel,
it seemed, had nearly died of his
machete wound, and on recovering he
had sworn to exterminate the wasps
that had stung him. He had sworn
other oaths, too, oaths that robbed Es-
teban of his sleep.
Esteban idolized his sister; her 10y
atty to him was the most precious thing
of his life. Therefore, the thought of
that swarthy ruffian hunting her down
as hound hangs to the trail of a doe
awoke in him terrible anger. Sec
ond only to his hatred for the guerrilla
chief was his bitterness against the
traitor, Pancho Cueto, who had capped
his villainy by setting this new peril
upon them; and since Rosa's safety
and his own honor called for the death
of both men, he had sworn that some
how he would effect 1t. 1t was, Of
course, difficult matter to get at the
colonel of volunteers, but Cueto still
lived In the midst of his blackened
boy was now planning to launch his
| first blow.
The thought of the hated Cobo had
mOmentarily distracted Esteban's
thoughts. Now he collected them and
said:
wait! / am forgetting something.
See what Lacret's men handed me !;
| they are posted from one end Of the
island to the other" He displayed a
printed bando, or proclamation, signed
by the new captain general, and read
as follows:
Gan inhabitants of the country dis
tricts, or those who reside outside the
| lines of Notifications of the towns,
shall, within period of eight days, en-
ter the towns which are occupied by
the troops. Any individual found out
side the lines in the country at the ex-
piration of this period shall be consid-
cred rebel anG shall be dealt with as
SUCH"
1t was that lnhuman order of con-
centration, the result of which proved
to be without parallel in military his
tory-an order which gave its savage
author the name of being the arch
| fiend of a nation reputed peculiarly
cruel. Four hundred thousand Cubans
| driven from their homes into shelter
less prison camps; more than two hum
dred thousand dead from hunger and
| disease; fruitful land laid bare of all
| that could serve as food, and changed
to an ash-gray desolation; gaunt fam
inc from Oriente to Pinar del Rio
that was the sequel to those printed
words of "Weyler the Butcher" which
Esteban read.
Eight days! When is the time up?"
Rosa inquired.
''Bless you, this is already two weeks
DID," her brother told her.
''Why, then, it means that We'll be
shot if we're caught"
Exactly But we sha'n't be caught,
! Ell? Let the timid ones take fright at
the squeaks of this old blackbird Let
them go into the cities: we shall have
| the more to eat!" Esteban crumpled
the paper in his hand and dropped it.
Meanwhile 1 shall proceed toward my
settlement with Pancho Cueto." His
very careless confidence gave Rosa
courage.

Another "scrap of Paper.n

IWenty-seven years ago settlers at
Olympia, Wash, made a treaty with
the Indians allowing them to fish any
where and at any time says Commerce
and Finance. Now the state game
laws prohibit them from the sport dur
ing the closed season.
Saluskin, big chief of the Yakimas.
with number of other Indians. after
protesting in vain to the local game
wardens, went to the city to protest
against the violation of their rights.
Imagine a chieftain, 90 years old.
straight as an arrow, yet half blind
and enfeebled, entering a court room
in a modern city. This man had seen
the victory of civilization in its strug-
gle against the wilderness. He had
seen his race pass control of the land
to the white race. Still believing in
the honor of the white man, he came
to protest against the Infringement of
treaty made a quarter of a century
before.
Saluskin was informed by an inter-
prefer that the district attorney could
not change the state game laws.
Hob y was his only comment.

"Why do you tell me this-you? Is

bowed, turned to the door, and was
gone.
On the stroke of midnight O'Reilly
was arrested. After a thorough search
of his person and his premises he was
escorted TO government headquarters,
where he found Leslie Branch.
The invalid looked taller, thinner,
more bloodless than ever, and his air
of settled gloom admirably became the
situation.
"Hello. What luck" Johnnie flashed
at him.
"Goodw
An officer sharply commanded him
to be silent.
The prisoners were ordered to stand
side by side, facing their accus<rs.
Then each in turn was subjected to
rigorous examination. Owing to his
acquaintance with Spanish, O'ReilIy
was able to defend himself without the
aid of an interpreter.
1t was evident from the first that
Branch's case was hopeless He read
lily acknowledged hLpself to be a news
paper writer, and admitted having sent
articles for publication through the
mails. This was quite enough; from
the attitude of the military men it
promised TO go hard with him. Judg-
ment for the moment was suspended,
and the two prisoners were led away.
At last O'Reilly was recalled; but
when he re-entered the big room he
found General Antuna awaiting him,

Cveto had welcomed his visitor in

which he ransacked the house for food

When Cobo finally took himself of
to bed Cueto followed in better spirits
than he had enjoyed for some time.
For one thing, it was agreeable to look
forward TO night of undissurbed re-

been sufficient to change the rotation
Of the earth. Yes, that was it; the
earth was running backward upon its
axis; he could actually feel it whirllng
under his feet. No wonder his journey
seemed so long. He was laboring over
a gigantic treadmill, balancing like an
equilibrist upon a revolving sphere.
Well, it was a simple matter to stop
walking, sit down, and allow himself
to be spun backward around to the
place where Rosa was waiting. He
pondered this idea for some time, I'M
til it's absurdity became apparent. IN
doubtedly he must be going out of his
head; he saw that it was necessary to
keep walking until the back-spin Of
that treadmill brought Rosa to him.
