WATERBURY WINS TWO GAMES.
Waterbury, Aug. 22.-George Prentiss
for Waterbury pitched twenty innings
| OF ball in two games with Meriden this
afternoon and allowed the visitors to
score but three runs. Waterbury play
ed an almost faultless game, having but
one excusable error In the two games,
while the work of the fielders at times
was brilliant, Meriden also put up a
hard game and fought stubbornly for
victory, but to no purpose. In the last
game Meriden led to the ninth inning,
when the home team tied the score and
then the game continued amid the Wild
est kind of excitement, which was re-
minder of the hard fought games Of a
few years ago between the two teams.
Crockett, who had been a puzzle to Wa
terbury all during the game, relaxed in
the eleventh inning and by good hitting
Waterbury managed to secure the VIM
ming run with no one out. The score:

to look so funny when she spelled words

So one day the teacher said: ''Suzie,

Just then they came to the old familiar
phrase in the regulation first reader: "up,
up, Jane. The sun is risen" 1t was lit

A THANKSGIVING WoolNG.

The frost was on the cottage pane,
The skies were gray and chill.
But with trembling hand she smoothed
Her kerchiefs dainty frill,
For then she saw the youthful squire -
Dismounting in the snow,
In velvet coat and buckled shoes, r .
Thanksgiving long ago. y.
While with her wrinkled sire he talked
OF weather and Of wheat
His ear was ever strained to catch
The music Of her feet.
Her dimpled arms were deep in flour,
Her rounded cheek aglow.
Her father slept-he stole kiss
Thanksgiving long ago.
His stately mother and her guests
We're waiting at the hall
Before the feast in silver served,
But he forgot them all,
And at the farmers humble board,
With curly head bent low,
He called courtly blessing down
Thanksgiving long ago.
Clear rose the moon above the woods,
And twilight yelled the farm,
But still he fingered at the gate,
The bride on his arm.
"0h, bake and brew for me alonsl
Be mine for veal and woe.
! love you. DEAR" he softly said
Thanksgiving long ago.
In yonder carven frame she stands,
In pearls and blue brocade,
And still tradition fondly keeps
The pumpkin pics she made
And tells again the story sweet.
When granaries overflow,
OF how the squire a-wooing went
Thanksgiving long ago.

The Dog ExDectcd 1t,

A New York society dame, who is an
ardent uphoder of the Society For the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, owns
n little fox terrier of which she is ex-
ceedingly fond. A man who called on her
the other day was admirng the dog and
asked its mistress how she, ":th 81 her
humane theories, could have allowed the
cruel dog fancicr to cut off Snaps tail
and ears to the fashionable degree Of
brcvity. The dame drew herself up and
replied with some hauteur:
"My dear sir, Snap expected it. Every
thoroughbred fox terrier expects to have
his tail and ears shortened" And that
hnmblcd man went away saying to him
self, THAT'S the first time ever thought
of 'noblessc oblige' as applying to fox
