There was roor house at Hoyt's ga
Temperance Town. Saturday evening,
but those who were there enjoyed the play
very much. The cast was strong one
and every person did their part true to
nature. The play is q sort of everyday
life In many towns in prohibition states
and seems to be written to deal fairly with
both the friends and opponents of the
prohibition laws. There is plenty Of good,
wholesome fun throughout, yet every now
and then it is shown up as may be- OBJ
served in everyday life, that there is quite
often warm, generous heart beneath the
ragged coat Of the man who Is trifle
rough in his ways. The play has good
moral lesson and deserved a better house.

Peter Cooper's Home.

Abram S. Hewitt's home is the old
house in which Peter Cooper lived, in
Lexington avenue, above Gramercy park
Mrs Cooper always thought Peter lazy
man. She did not appreciate his invent
i've genius. She was a famous bread
maker. When Peter was poor she made
bread for the neighborhood, and long
after he was a rich man, with an income
OF 100000 a year, she continued this oc-
cupation, employing from ten to a dozen
girls to assist her. The bakers near by
resented it, and earnest protests were
made to Peter. But he could do nothing.
His wife was boss, and she kept at bread
making till almost too bind to see. She
was blind, / believe, for the last five years
OF her life. In the babyhood days of I'd
ward she used to make Peter mind the
boy, so that she should not be disturbed
in her breaGmaking. Peter had a work
shop in the garnet, and there he would
take the boy. An old clock was one of his
treasures, and he converted the mechan-
ism into a motor for rocking the cradle.
Mrs. Cooper caught him at work one day,
with the cradle going by clockwork and
was very wroth. you are the LATEST
man I ever saw, Peter" she exclaimed,
snatching her darling baby out Of the
cradle. "You are too lazy, actually, to
rock the cradle, and have to make an old
clock do it. My poor little Edward!'-

Standino Retween Trains.

The death of the Toledo bicyclist who
was sucked under train as he was riding
between tracks reminds me Of the tests
of courage to which foolhardy boys used
to put each other on the New York Cen
trail road, above High Bridge. Trains
going in opposite directions often passed
at a certain spot, and the boy who could
stand the stillest between them was ac-
counted the bravest. 1t was a fearful
ordeal. The distance between the trains
was not more than four and a half feet,
if that much, and the whirlwind of dust
and cinders that was stirred up was
something terrible to encounter. | tried
it once, and retired satisfied and thank
full that | had escaped with my life. 1t
was almost impossible to keep the
body erect. The currents Of air sWayed
it to and fro, and it required all ones
strength to keep from being sucked under
one train or the other. Mind you. those
trains were going at high speed. It was
not possible to keep the eyes open be-
cause Of the binding dust, cinders and
gravel. and those who have tried it know
how difficult it is to stand erect with the
eyes shut. Ben Wallace could stand it
oftener than any boy of my acquaintance

Gals put a stop to the practice.-New
