Puddlers Win Silver Cup.

The Iron Moulders' Picnic on Satur-
day was a fine success The weather
conditions were all that could be de-
sired and large crowd visited the
park.
During the afternoon interest MAIN
ly centered in the tug of war between
the Iron Moulders and the PuddleTs OF
the Reading Iron Works, which was
to decide the custodianship of the sill
yer cup. The contest was pulled off
on the Fair ground. Thomas Trainor
and W. A. Shepperson were selected
as Judges. W. A. Sechler. general man
ager OF the stove works, was made ref
cree.
The rope used was about thirty feet
long. Nine men were placed on each
side and then the tug began. 1t was
a splendid test OF strength and well
worth witnessing. The fight WAS a
long and hard one before the puddlers
succeeded in pulling the Iron Mould
ers over the line.
The decision was rendered in favor
of the puddlers. who consequently re-
ceiye the silver CUP, which the Iron
Moulders have held for ten years past.

1t needed only the services of a
faithful Chinamah, the man who for
years had assisted her father in his

hand at frog marketing.
The experiment. was a success. The
Siege Station frog farm is now one of
the best known and best paying in
stitutions in the whole bay coun-
try.
There were frogs almost at her
elbow. The music of their shrill
voices was unheard, their value UNI
thought of. Her mind was engaged
in searching for remote possibilities
when her fortune lay within her
hand.
So it is with many of us. We
look too far for our bread and but
ter. There may be little jam to
make the bread and butter more
palatable if we consider the immed-
late surroundings. 1t pays to study
the mysteries of our homely frog
