HONEYMOON
AFTER Is YEARS
Delayed by Accident, Years
Ago, Couple at Last Carry
Out Wedding Plan
GET AS GLAD SEND-OFF
AS REAL -WEDS

When a honeymoon is delayed 10
years it is far more interesting and
romantic than the ordinary honey
moon.
Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Augustus
Dickerson, Of No. 917 Pine street.
think so, at least, and they attested
their interest by serenading Mr.. and
Mrs. Dickerson as they departed on
a honeymoon trip from French street
station for Niagara Falls this morn
ing.
When Mr.. and Mrs Dickerson we're
married Is years ago, they were un-
able to go upon a honeymoon trip be-
cause Mr.. Dickerson, who is a rail-
road conductor, was injured. Now
that 10 years have passed, tho couple
have planned the honeymoon with
even more interest than it would have
been planned directly after their mar
riage.
And, even more curious. is the fact
that this honey-mooning couple have
three children Surely never before
was there such honeymoon.
Down at the Stain this morning
the couples friends sent them off on
the 40 o'clock train with many good
wishes. There were all kinds Of high
jinks. Of course, and Mr. Dickerson
and Mrs. Dickerson might very easily
have imagined that they had been
married only last night.

In that territory the ielder's eyes

He must look up into the glaring
face of a hot sun day after day during
the baseball season, and pick out from
the fiery BACKGROUND the ball that
must be clutched in willing fingers
and clung to.
And that a task il must be! Those
who sit and watch a game, with ever
ready criticism, whether Il be from
a cushioned seat in the grandstand or
from the sun-baked area in the
bleachers, fail TO realize the strain on
the players eyes. on his brain, on his
