| To THE EDITOR. Dear Sir:
The Spauldipg basket ball team wishes
to correct the impression that must have
been gained by those who read the ac-
count of the Peoples Academy-Spaulding
game at Morrisville, Jan. 13. Thereport-
er of the Barre Times was evidently misin-
formed regarding the attitude of the Peo-
pies players and their supporters.
The game was not rough. neither did the
official show any partiality. The Acad-
envy team and the spectators showed ex-
c-lent sportsmanship. Both teams played
clean basket ball, with the very best of
good feeling existing between the teams
and the individuals.
No school has better reputation for
good craftsmanship and clean athletics
than Peoples Academy. In our game at
Morrisville they lived up to their reputa-
tion in every way. We regret the injustice
done them and trust that this letter will
help to correct it.
Signed: Spaulding Basket Ball Team.
By The Manager.

Liner DELAYED to Save LIZ.

The value that we set on human
life today has been dramatically IL
Illustrated by an incident on the Allan
tic ocean.
An explosion in the engine-room
of freight ship caused terrible in
juries to the second engineer, a young
man named O'Neal. There was no doc
tor on board, so the captain sent out
wireless calls for assistance.
Seven ships replied. In six cases
doctors told the captain what treat
ment would be likely to give the best
results.
But one passenger liner did more
than this; 1t put $50 miles out of its
course and sent lifeboat with the
ships doctor in it, who attended to
the patient and then had him trans
ferred to his ship. When the liner
reached England he was comfortable
and on the way to recovery.

LOSE INTEREST IN SERENADE
Masculine Spaniards Said to Have
Turned From Romance to the
More Prosaic Football Game.

Sad, indeed, to lovers of the pictur-
esque is the news which comes from
Seville, Spain. The serenade, from
time immemorial the quintessence
of romance, is passing away and will
soon be known no more. Worst Of
all. 1t is being destroyed by
nothing else than modern and unro-
mantle football. This game is at pres
ent In full vogue in Spain. Every
where young men are passionately adj
dicted to 1t, in Seville as elsewhere,
80 that the young Sevillians have no
longer time as formerly to cultivate
the song, the guitar and the mandolin.
Football engrosses them.
Soon one will not find single lover
capable Of playing a serenade under
the balcony of his Dulcinea. If Rosina
opens her window Almaviva will not
be there to declare to her his passion.
But lately, on Saturdays, the young
Sevillians assembled and wandered
through the streets of the town sing
Ing to the stars. Today they go to bed
early so as to he the next morning in
good form for their favOrite game.

John and Joe McGinnis, twenty and

good deal of their time in the woods

noticed that there were four frogs in
the creek which stuck pretty close
together and that their voices we're

awake at night listening to these frogs.
The boys started singing Garry Me

They sang a couple of times just to

They were astonished an hour later |
when they heard the bullfrogs croak- |

The next night the boys sang the
same song three or four times, at In
