Valley Farm.

The play of VALLEY Farm" last week
Thursday evening deserves especial
mention. Without exception the parts
we're we'll taken, and much credit IS due
the club for their finished performance.
g. L. Dyer as the bluff old owner Of the
farm was the particularly bright l1mi-
nary around which shone the other stars.
W. A. Gleeson was truly loyeable
lover. and he had a fine incentive in the
work of his vis-a-yis, Mrs. Thos. Mason.
Tom Farrell as the genial man about
town showed off to splendid advantage,
as did Mrs. j. +. Paquette as the austere
and proud mother OF all only son. Miss
Marguerite Hobson as the woman
spurned, was as cunningly vindictive as
the part would allow. Miss Lemore and
Miss Wells handled their parts with
telling effect. Mrs. Winnifred Finegan,
as the sister of Holcomb, the farmer,
was one OF the strongest features of the
cast, her scenes with her brother being
especially realistic Leslie Skinner as
the disappointed lover showed to good
advantage both in voice aud gesture,
while II. S. Bishop as the deaf and badly
in love old clock tinker, ably acted the
part without over doing, and Samuel
payeur was as stiff and lordly butler
az even the newest new rich could wish,
The specialties between the acts were
of a high order and pleased the audience
rsry much

Being Good at Church.

A little east side girl went to
church the other Sunday, having
promised her mother that she would
be good and not talk. She listened
to the music and seemed very well
satisfied with the sermon for some
time. She then began to get rest
less, but she did not say anything.
The minister was preaching a ser
mon to his congregation in which
he was admonishing them to always
be on the alert to be good. All at
once he. emphasized the words
''Sleep not!' The little girl no
ticed it and at the same time saw a
man asleep. She could restrain her
self no longer and said to her moth
er: ''The preacher is scolding that
fat man over there for sleeping.

of teaching she received little les

In the middle of a term one of
her pupils was obliged to leave

move out Of town. When the teach

had been an intelligent and well be-

was Sir John Davie, the first town
clerk of Groton, Conn.,, who was grad.
uated at Harvard in 1851. The story
of his reception of the news Of his
succession to baronetcy is told in the
pages of I'm Old Connecticut"
One day Davie was hoeing corn on
the plains in company with John Pack

and barefooted, with their sleeves roll
up to their knees, when a stranger
clad in the latest London fashion ap-

"Then salute you, Sir John Davie

Tradition says that the new baronet
finished his row-he was hoeing on a
wager with his fellow work ker-then he
accompanied his visitor to the brown
homestead, treated him to cake and
wine and learned the whole story
how his uncle, Sir John Davie, Bart,
had died without male issue, leaving
his nephew sole heir.
In short time the Poquonock farm

an English estate. He never forgot
his native land, however, and always
retained his interest in Groton. He
aided the settlers to build their new
church and when it was finished pre-
sented it with a silver communion set.
He also made gifts to his relatives and
was one of the early benefactors of
