A pirate and skin.
But that belize, is just his fad
You mustn't rub it in
Though fraud and treason both combine
To make his record sable.

To sit with him at table
Reproof or rude demeanor would
But add to his distress,
A friendly smile will make him good

The farmer, in other words, received
2 cents each for his thirty-six bas-
kets. The labor and packing alone cost
him Is cents a basket. Here is an
economic situation in which the farmer
saves money by leaving a crop of
splendid peaches to rot on the trees.
Meanwhile there were a good many
million of people in the city who we're
not able to get as many peaches this
season as they would have liked. 1t is
safe to say that there is not a stock
holder in the American Express com
pany who did not have enough peaches
TO waste good many. and most of
them have more cooks, automobiles
and Wallets than are good for them

A PARCELS POST.
Grange Demands 1t and Some
Day viii Surely Have 1t.

A Story That Points the Moral if It
Does Not Adorn the Tale--This Man
Wants Parcels Post, and He is Not
the Only One Whose Profits Are
Lost on the Way.
If there is one thing more than an
other which the grange has set its
hand to obtain it is a parcels post sys-
tenn whereby packages of limited
weight may be transferred through the
mails. That such system is bound to
be inaugurated in the near future is
just as certain as that the grange will
never give up until it is. 1t recognizes
the fact that the express companies
are chiefest opponents and that these
companies have able helpers in con
gress. But parcels post is demanded
by the farmers everywhere, and par
cells post they win some day have
Here is single instance quoted
from Golfers of Oct. 70, showing why
the farmer needs something besides
the express companies to convey his
produce, not that he will ship peaches
by the basket through the mails so
much as that if he cared. to ship them
by express he wouldn't in the face of
the parcels post competition have to
pay the express companies all his
produce brings Here is the little
story: A fruit farmer Of Albion, N. Y,
lives near the shores of Lake Ontario,
where the keen autumn air about this
time of the year puts the finest favor
in the world into those good old
fashioned apples Kings and Northern
Spies. He raises peaches, too and
carefully took them to the railroad
station and delivered them to the or
der and commission department of the
American Express company. A few
days later the farmer, whose name is
Mare w. Cole, got formal account
of the transaction, which read thus:
Thirty-six baskets Of peaches at 80
cents each. .........,.................S 1OS0

1T WAS A GOOD BASKET BALL GAME.
Wlth a Lively Tllt on the sIde

]
We unfortunates living in this very
prosaic age, scarcely, II ever, nave'the
privilege of witnessing the angry gods
swoop down from their lofty seats and
engage in a combat, fixed up between
mere ordinary mortals for their own
amusement. Ever since that old heart
breaker, Aneas, went philauderng around
the shores of the Mediterranean, leaving
a fractured cardiac in every port where
he stopped to take on coal, the gods have
seemed rather 10th to mix il up among
themselves. The other evening, how
ever, as sequel to the basket ball game
between Hardwick and Peoples Acad-
envy the gods kindly consented to per-
form. Truly, as you say, those were
merely gallery-gods with little resem-
bauce to Zeus and his gang that used to
inhabit high Olympus, yet, although
these gallery-gods wear more clothes and
fewer boards than the Olympian gods,
there is a strong resemblance psychology
cally In either case, whenever they see
their favorites worsted in the fray, they
are only too willing to take upon them
selves to have revenge, whether it be for
defeat in basket ball or dispute con-
corning an obscure hamlet in Asia, called |
| Troy-from the thriving New York town |
of the same name.
Friday evenings game was intensely |
interesting from start to finish. The |
teams were evenly matched, although !
the Hardwick team clearly outweighed
the local five. The game was clean
features except for the ominous signs of
impending disaster in the rather wild en-
thusiasm of the aforementioned gallery
gods. Although the visiting rooters may
have been partly responsible for the af-
fair after the game, it was a decidedly
unfortunate occurrence, not only in that
it will put the team to decided disad-
vantage in their out oftown games, but
it cannot but create the impression that
we cannot take a defeat in a sportsman
like manner. Hardwicks were winners
by score of 81 to 10.
The local team is fast and with little
more experience will surely uphold the
excellent record which Peoples Academy
has in basket ball Following is the line
