 Hung at Half Mast.
 Have you noticed that the summer young man who dresses according to the very latest dictates of fashion, wears at half mast his dainty turned up around the-bottom trousers? Many is the time he has poked fun at the high water pants worn by the boy from the rural districts and now he's doing the same thing himself only more so. But how are folks going to admire the speckled and gorgeous half hose if trouser- looms hang so low that they are covered up?
 Offer ofS25Oo Refused.
 A. H. Herriman's promising colt 'Thurst," now at Oopake in charge of Fred Holsapple, attracted the attention of a well known horseman the other day and he offered to exchange his check for S2500 for the horse but the offer was re- fused. "Thurst" will be started in a number of races this fall, including White Plains, Bridgeport, Danbury, Hartford, Cambridge, N. Y., Sandy Hill N. Y., and other places. If no accident befalls this horse, it is expected it will mak a notable record. All horsemen say that the outlook for very successful future for this horse is most promising. Canaan and Cannon.
 The confusion of the names of Canaan and Cannon continues to cause no end of in all probability the merchants of Ca- non are equally bothered. Freight in- tended for one place continues to go to the other party because of errors in writ ing the tags or labels and partly because of careless or nasty reading of the ad- dresses by the railroad employees. A Canaan business man informed us the other day that goods intended for him, goods of which he was in great need, had been in Cannon for 27 days and that he had not succeeded in getting them headed in the right direction although he had written several letters
 More Anent the Trolley.
 The Pittsfeld Eagles Great Barring ton correspondent says: "There is every indication that the proposed trolley ex- tensions to Canaan and Egremont will be built in the near future and one of the most encouraging features is that the company is to ask for bids this week The surveyors specifications are now in the hands of the officials at Boston and and within few days they will be turned over to the contractors for bids. There are only few contracting firms in the state who can take the contract and go ahead with it and therefore the company will not advertise for bids. After the contract is once awarded there will be little delay experienced in the construction and it is sad that the road to Canaan can be put in operation in eight months The land owners in the town of Sheffield, where the proposed road is to cross their premises, have been requested to look up their titles and have them ready"

Vigorous pun ishment should be meted out to people who ring false alarms of fire on the night of July 3d or at any other time, regardless of who they are or where the act is committed. In the first place it is a violation of the law and in the second place it puts property in jeopardy. In support of the latter state- ment we cite an instance in Connecticut where residence on the suburbs of a village caught fire in the night, the owner rushed to the fire bell and rang it vigorously but the firemen did not re- spond, believing the alarm to be false one as such alarms had been rung on the night of July 3d for two or three years. The result was, of course, that the buildings were consumed when they might have been saved had the firemen known that the alarm was genuine.

The annual Fourth of July battle with it's sad sequelae of killed and wounded is past, and we are reasonably assured of a year of peace with the dread certainty, however, that the noisy carnage will be repeated on July the fourth, 1908, and son successive Fourths for years to come. There appears to be no cure for the murderous folly of this method of cele. bration. Millions of dollars are wasted, the fatalities are equal to those on some battle fields, while the annoyances, in some instances, fatal to the sick, the weak and the nervous. add greatly tc the general suffering.

THE VACATION SEASON.
It is the time of year when thoughts turn to the summer relaxation.

It is the time of year when thoughts turn to the summer relaxation.
 If it were not for this respite, what would some of us do? What did the ear Her generations do, for whom there was no stated season of relief and play known as the summer vacation? They got along very well with work the year around, taking their outings as occasion offered, here and there, and they surely produced boys and girls, men and women, in as good condition as we see to-day.
 But the conditions of this later time are more strenuous. Our lives are lived at faster pace. The strain is greater, and to prevent break it must be less continuous. So we have the invention of the vacation season, now prescribed and accepted as necessity in all occu- pations except that of days labor.
 Fortunate is the man who can adapt his domestic and social obligations to meet the requirements of the vacation season. If he cannot do this, however he might as we'll give it up altogether for the first necessity is that the vaca, tion shall be free from worry and from the demands of the work-a-day period.
 It does not matter so much that the vacation shall include great things. Ii your means provide only for visit tc the old home in the country, where you can wear out your old clothes, take that with rejoicing.
 The one thing essential is the shaking off of care, the change of environment and the relaxation from the stress o1 daily struggle. This will build you up inspire mind and body and fit you to welcome the return to labor.

Some doctor with nothing else to do has been making census of lovers for the purpose of finding out what maidens and youth prefer most as physical at tributes of their adored ones. He finds out that women are most insistent on good teeth and broad shoulders for their lovers.
