An Old Books Quest.

Timestain'd and ragged, old and worn,
1 come to you, my friend. and ask
A coy spot in some warm nook
OF your dear home where night and
morn
You go TO rest from care or task,
And seek real comfort in book.
Here may you find in heart of me,
The silent comradeship you crave;
Instinct with life. though quaint o.
phrase,
And fill'd with CHEEKY sympathy
The cheer that will depression save,
And herald be of happy days
And should your hand but rest on me,
In recognition OF my WORTH
Or should your smiling eyes alight
On some odd antique fantasy.
/ shall be glad that I'm on earth
And have outlived decay and blight
Deny me not a haven, friend!
Scorn not my rusty dress and look!
Remember, have been quite true;
Such friendship should not have an end
Should live--as does this old. old book.
That claims place and home with you

BENNINGTON RAN
AWAY WITH ONE
SIDED GAME
Shut Out Columbia A. C. Team
of Schenectady
SCORED 10 IN 7 INNINGS
Visitors Outfield Was Good But
Men Close to Batter Made Costly
Errors.

Bennington saut out the Columbia
nectady at Morgan Park Saturday af-
ternoon in the most one-sided game
of the season. The visiting outfleld
was composed of three good players
in their positions who took ten of the
II chances that came their way, but
the in field put up some rather ragged
work
Corey pitched his last game for the
home team and did not give the Sche-
nectady boys a look" at the game.
In the first inning Conklin, the second
man up. hit single to right field
and stole two bases, but he was the
only Columbia to reach third base.
Curtin, the Schenectady pitcher, APP
peared to be serving up an easy ball
to hit but it was not until the fourth
inning that Bennington began to swat
his twisters. Cherry opened the in
ming with a hit to left field. Two
bunts by Carroll and Brown which
the pitcher and Businessman failed to
handle, Z ait by King, who stole two
bases, base on balls to Prindle and
a wild throw from behind the plate,
accounted for four runs.
In the sixth Brown singled to left.
King did likewise and Brown scored
on Prindles sacrifice fly to right field,
Corey hunted at the pitcher who muf-
fed the ball. Hickey hit to left field
and on Burrington's out pitcher to
first scored an a classy slide to the
plate.
In the seventh base on balls and
a nit put Cherry and Carroll on the
bases and Browns home run hit to
left field added three more to score
column. Prindle reached first on an
error and scored on a muff by the
third baseman of Hickey's grounder
The game was called at the end of
the seventh inning because of dark
ness.

Those Who Walk Alone.

Women there are on earth. most sweet
and high.
Who lose their own. and walk bereft
and lonely.
Loving that one lost heart until they die,
Loving 1t only.
And so they never see beside them grow
Children. whose coming is like breath
of flowers:
Consoled by subtler loves the angels
know
Through childless hours.
Good deeds they do; they comfort and
they bless
In duties others put of till the morrow;
Their look is balm. their touch is ten
derness
To all In sorrow.
Betimes the world smiles at them as
'twere shame,
This maiden guise, long after youths
departed:
But in Gods Book they bear another
name
THE faithful-hearted."
Faithful in life, and faithful unto death,
Such couls. in sooth, Hume with luster
splendid
That glimpsed. glad land wherein. the
Vision saith.
Earth's wrongs are ended.

FIND RELICS IN RIVER BED.
Finely Tempered Weapons Recovered
from Channel on the Canadian
Border.

While workmen we're removing rock
and debris from the old channel Of
the river between the second and
third chutes to make way for the big
power dam on the American side they
upearthed In one Of the pot holes in
the rock a remarkable collection of In
dian weapons and other articles, COM
prising tomahawks, spearheads, ar
rowheads. sturgeon fishhooks, ETC., all
made out OF pure copper and hard
ened to the consistency of steel.
The articles are bright in appear
ance and are Of superior workman
ship, being evidently the work OF the
prehistoric race which fashioned the
mounds, ornaments and utensils of the
early days. That these people pos
sessed the knowledge of tempering
copper is evident from the specimens
How they came there is a mystery,
but the general belief is that a party
OF Indians while endeavoring to land
or make portage lost control OF their
canoe and were swept over the falls,
the canoe being overturned, causing
the contents to go to the bottom of
the river or be carried down stream
That these articles were together is
proof that they must have been tied
in leather sack or some other such
receptacle. They were found packed
together in the hole. which had doubt

KEPT THE SABBATARIAN LAW
Records Of Two Noted Men Cited as a
Rebuke Of the Laxness Of the
Present Day.

Two remarkable instances of fidel.
ity to the letter of Sabbatarian law
were given at the annual breakfast OF
the Lords Day Observance society.
81 am afraid Scotland is leading in
the van of Sabbath breaking" said
Rev. Lord Blythswood, who presided
"One would think that people would
notice and profit by the constantly IL
Illustrated fact that the man who. OBJ
serves the Lords day prospers.
Il have worked for nearly so years,
and such is my conscience that
would never put foot in a train on
the Lords day, neither would | use a
public conveyance.
"One might say 1t has prevented me
from preaching in many places, but
cannot help that; have had to drag
myself along with the bag that con
tanned my gown"
The other instance was contained
in the speech of Prof. Beresford Pite.
THE late Sir George Livesey told
me-" he said, that he had never
spent Sunday away from his wife.
Travelling from Glasgow on Satur-
day. he found that he could only ar
rive home at Tumbridge Wells by
travelling on Sunday, SO when he ar
rived al st. Pancras in the early hours
of Sunday morning he walked the re-

VISITORS BY THE.
THOUSAND FILL
NORTH ADAMS
Largest Crowd in History OF
Tunnel City
FlREMEN IN CELEBRATION
Fire Department and Hundreds Of
Bennington People Attend Opening
Of No. Adams Old Home Week

The largest crowd ever within the
limits of North Adams, was present
Monday to witness the Labor Day
celebration in connection with Old
Home Week Double headers" run
ming every half hour on the trolley
road accommodated the hundreds
from this town who visited the Tun-
ell city yesterday. The day was an
ideal one and from the lonely appear
ance of the village, it seemed that
every one who could possibly get out
of town, was absent.
Early in the morning the fire de-
partment left. The department took
part in the parade in the morning.
but did not enter any of the contests.
The principal event In the days
celebration was the f1remen's tourna-
ment. Companies from all the cities
within a radious of so miles were
present and marched in the parade.
1t was undoubtedly the finest showing
of firemen ever seen In this section.
over 1000 men were in line.
In the afternoons contests the
Chicopee Falls, Mass, company won
the first prize for throwing the farta-
est stream with hand engines. The
Durkee team of Fort Edwards, N. Y,
made the best time among the run
ming hose teams.
Today is Veterans Day and num-
Der of old soldiers from the Soldiers
home and local veterans are in at
tendance. Tonight Hoosac lodge n.
E. o. r. of North Adams will enter
tain delegations from lodges In this
vicinity. Several members of the To-
cal lodge are planning to attend.
Among the attractions at tae North
Adams theatres this week, are "Grau-
stark" Human Hearts" and Dead
wood Dicks Last Shot"
An estimate of the crowd In North
Adams yesterday may be gained from
a remark made by a member of Co.
X, who declared today, that the num-
Der of people in the city was larger
than the crowd which attended the
tercentennial celebration in BurliDg
ton on the day President Taft was In
the city.

FOR RIFLINe CASH REGISTER
Two Boys Arrested for Breaking Into
corsIglla's Fruit Store.

Two young boys Galen Miller and
James Ellsworth, were arrested Mon
day morning by Officers Brazel and
Hurley for breaking and entering the
fruit store of Dominique Corsiglia on
Main street Sunday evening. During
the forenoon bail was furnished in
the case of the Ellsworth boy and he
was released from Jail.
Between $24 and $25 was obtained
from the store, the money being TAX
en- from the cash register. Entrance
to the store was made by way OF the
rear door by breaking the wire screen
and unlocking the door from the IN
side. There was light of glass gone
from the door so that once the screen
was disposed of it was an easy mat
ter to reach through and work the
lock by means of the key which hung
on short string from a nail in the
casing.
Mr. Corsigila about $3.50 o'clock
Sunday evening locked up the store
and went to the rooms of local lodge
of Elks, of which he is a member, and
there remained for about half an
hour. He returned to the store, but
did not have occasion to go to tne
cash register until about to lock up
for the night When he opened the
registered for the purpose of taking
his money home with him he saw
that some one had been ahead of
aim. Thinking that perhaps Mrs.
Corsiglia had been in the store during
his absence and had taken the money
out of the register he at once went
home and told her of the loss, She
\ had not been in the store during the
evening and knew nothing of the
money.
Mr. and Mrs. Corsiglia taen return
ed to thestore and made an inyestiga-
ton. They found that a hole large
enough to admit persons arm had
been broken in the screen door and
that the key. which usually hung on
the nail was In the lock.
The method used to obtain entrance
to tne store was thus easily explain
ed. The two hooks on the screen
door had been caught in the loops
after the door had been closed, show
ing an attempt to cover up the theft.
Suspicion was directed to the Mil
Ter and Ellsworth boys because the
two were sitting on a box in front OF
the store when Mr.. Corsiglia locked
the front door and started for the
Elks rooms The Miller boy asked
him II he were going to lock up and
leave the front light burning.
Between s and o'clock the Miller
boy went into Gokay's drug store and
exchanged two half dollars for a dol
lar bill.
When arrested Monday morning
the boys finally acknowledged the
theft. Some of the money was re-
covered from the Ellsworth boy. but
the Miller boy said That he had
thrown what he had into the sewer.

rect as below without anything furth-

Why will you lock the garden door
That long swung wide for met

But do not turn the key.

And through the doorway see
That roses. as of old, abide
Where once you walked with me,
To see the happy lilies grow
All! happy once were well
And watch the joyous hawthorne blow
Upon our trystingtree.
So do not lock the door that is
The gate of heaven to me;
But leave a little space for bliss.
And throw away the key.
