BY leisure TO quan lies perfume
And cooking tends itself, the while
Toothsome, hyglenic dinners
Are cooked without fire or tending
In freless stoves that are winners"
In rest and economy blending.

Wishes every home-lovor true

Another interesting old house In
Hadley Is the Ben Smith tavern. so
called. on the old post road between
Boston and Albany, at this point
known as the Bay road.
II stands at the corner Of this road
and East street.
Here in the stage coaching days of
the eighteenth and early nineteenth
centuries the coaches drew up for re.
freshment to man and beast.
That the house afforded means for
such refreshment is without question.
II has about 20 rooms, including
double parlors. ten bedrooms and.
across the south end in the second
story, dance hall. This room is now
used by the Allen family, which has
occupied the house about twenty
years, as storage place. The house
has not been used as tavern for
more than sixty years. It is one of
the best preserved of the old.time hos.
telries in New England.
There are two other houses in Had
ley now used as private residences
the Crane and the Reynolds places, in
which the ancient dance hall reminder
of social life departed is still pre-
served.

SA WING WILD BIRDS

In the Connecticut river for the same
purpose. The work of the league is
being carried on by Mrs. @. X. Holmes
OF Summit, N. j., as memorial for
her son. a young naturalist who be-
gan this labor OF love, and whose
name members of the league con.
ferred upon the association.
The league by means of lectures
and leaflets and the individual infiu.
ence of its members is teaching heed.
less flower lovers, big and little. not
to gather the last fair blossom upon
a stem nor take TO classrooms more
than single specimen. of each flower.
The unselflsh person who enjoys
blossom and leaves it to cast its seed
for richer lowering in the future best
loves the wild blossoms and his fel.
low man.
The task Of saving the birds and
flowers OF our land for future gen
Grafton to enjoy is being largely in.
trusted TO the energies of the com.
ing generation. More than 1000 of the
1900 members of the La Rue Holmes
league are children, who. with adult
members, make up the 25 league chap
tiers between Morristown and Orange.
Young as Is this organization, legisla-
tors have found it powerful in formu.
lating and backing measures for the
protection of birds. in which work the
efforts OF the Audubon society alone
were insufficient in New Jersey.
All ducks, snipe and game and many
song birds are scarce in New Jersey,
and were they not soon to be shell.
tered In home of their own many of
them would cease to be known in their
accustomed haunts. Birds and ami.
mails quickly learn to know where
they are undisturbed, and show little
fear OF man within the bounds of
their reservations.
