Partisanship and Right. (Ridgefisld Press.)

As town meeting time approaches the buzz of the political maloontents ii heard. Like angry bees they dar about Low is their droning. still we are aware they are prepared to sting-if they get the chance.
 Some men are like droning bees. while they should be about their own busi- ness. they are around spreading discon- tent. wounding the good names of others who would not favor some little pet scheme of theirs.
 The citizens that collect at the com ing town meeting should think of one thing-the town.
 It is their town; whatever they do for it's goo is for their good. The im- provemsnts they vote for, shey benefit by; the money they vote to be spent for these improvements should be we'll spent-honestly spent.
 Let the droning of the political trick sters go in one ear and out of the other.
 He alone is good citizen and an hon. est man who can rise above partisanship and vote for the right men and right measures.
 All imaginary lines. factions, classes, cliques-and other nonsensical classiH- cations' fictionally coDiured up to fright on the simid-should be set aside.
 Let one thought and one desire ami mate your actions TowN's WE'LL FARE

not give the hospital to the Brothers, but placed it under the control of John Wesiey's followers. The hospital was built in 1895 in pine grove. and is constructed of brick with grey stone trimmings. I should judge the build ing cost s25, 900. It is known as the Watts de Peyster Hospital and Home for Invalid Children. and is managed by the New York Conference Board of Deaconess Work of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It has been run only since April 1898 and during its first year had 46 patients, none of whom died. At the time of our visit there were only half a dozen children there as others had been sent home for a Sunday visit. The half dozen we saw are little waifs who have no home to go to. The benefits of the Home are open to all children. eligible to admis- sion, regardless of religious belief. Children with any physical silment that is not contagious or infectious are received. Ten dollars month sup ports child. Several rooms have been furnished by Churches. Sunday schools and young peoples societies. Cash contributions and supplies have been received from large number of indi- viduals. The work has no endowment and is dependent upon voluntary offer ings. Contributions will be received by Sarah Louise Smith. superintendent, post office address Verbank. N. Y, who will furnish any desired information about the institution.

An Old, New Game.

Another season may possibly witnes q a revival of the "desr, fussy old game of croquet." The National Croquet asso citation hes "resolved" in respect to sev : sral things. The game is to have . new name-''roque. Balls must be of solid rubber three and quarter riches in diameter, wickets but three and three eights inches wide. A new stroke has been introduced called the ''iump stroke" which is cross between golf strike and mauling fence post. The ball must jump, not graze the suspicious earth, as croquet balls sometimes do and sometimes do not do, and strike the op- posing ball, if ones luck be better than his skill. No more will any old pasture field do for this game but it must be 6 hsrd-rolled, well-sanded bit of earth surrounded by wooden frame or bor- der four inches high We speak of this thus early that roque players may lay out roqus links" on the parlor floor or winter practice.
