the great day of athletics the country over. Baseball games test the prowess of young America, and along the waters where boating is fad, aquatic sports and yach racing have added interest to local scenes.
 We of the inland hills, having few of these acquatic diversions, must needs turn to other sources in the making up of the programme for labor day. Here abouts, the principal celebration this year was in sharon. For months past the firem en of the village have been planning the event which made Mon- day nemorabls-the old time fireman's muster.
 From near and far there was 8 gather ing of those who take interest in events of this kind. It was given under the auspices of the Harlem Valley Fireman's Assoc iation.
 All the early morning fireman began to arrive in town and soon after 10:30 a. m. came the parade. The "boys" pre- sented a neat appearance in their uni forms and all along the line of march people were gathered to watch and cheer as they passed by.
 In the line were hose carts gaily decked fer the occasion, with here and there mascot, just for luck's sake. Bands of music played the latest airs and lent their enohantment to ths scene. It was a gorgeous parade and one we'll worth seeing.
 In the afternoon, after good dinner had been served to visiting fire-laddies and to all others who enjoyed the asso- ciation's hospitality, the athletic events came on. There were hose races, hook and ladder contests, and other events of interest
 Baseball teams from Philmont and Millerton contestt for the mastery and drew a large crowd of spectators.
 Concerts by the bands proved one of the enjoyable features of a mo 't delight ful gathering. The story at Sharon is elsewhere told.
 At Canaan the observance of Labor day was the direct opposite of the ob- servauce at Sharon. It was very quiet. There was a baseball game on the Ca- naan grounds between the local team and East Canaan and return game at East Canaan. Lakeville played a double header with Great Burlington, and these constituted the main feature of interest in these towns.

APPLE CROP A FAILURE.
Yield In the Mohawk Valley and Adia'
 cent Counties Smallest In Years.

One of the smallest apple crops in many years will be harvested in the Mohawk valley and adjacent counties this fall. In most cases the apple trees are barren of fruit, and where there has been partial yield the ap- ples are so small and worm eaten as to be hardly worth the picking. The crop in other years has given many hundreds of persons employment in the cider mills, but this fall very few of these mills will be in operation.

Story of Old Baseball Days

enough vigorous protests were made:
but without avail.
Again, in his proper order, the
youngster stood at the home plate.
But this time, instead Of holding the
club rigidly in front Of him, he
tossed it at the ball just before II
was over the plate. That swerved the
ball so that 1t rolled rather slowly to
wards third base. He Will get to
first base before the third baseman
can pick it up" announced Mr.. Bulke-
ley confidently. And the youngster
did.
looked at Mr.. Buckley in wonder;
in all my baseball days l had never
seer anything like the batting OF this
lad. Mr.. Buckley smiled enthusiasts
tically. They call hat a bunt," he
said. Some baseball players think
that 1t is all right. Some insist that
it isn't fair. 1t is an entirely new
freak in baseball and this boy has In
vented it. His name is Barlow"
In these days when the scientific
bunt Is one of the important features
of the national game. 1t Is probable
that Morgan G.. Buckley, senior sen.
ator from Connecticut, when things
grow a little dull in the senate cham
Der, recalls with a considerable de-
gree of satisfaction that 1t was with
his first Hartford baseball nine that
little William Barlow demonstrated
fully the value of the bunt in baseball
to the player who knows how to en-
ploy it skillfully. This Barlow did In
less thin one season, for a serious Ill
ness did not permit him to play long
with the Hartfords. Yet In the short
while that he was with the team he
taught the secret of the bunt to his
teammates, and 1t was one at the
tricks that speedily made the Hart
ford club one of the country's best for
a few years.

Perfumed Beds.

There is nothing very novel, the TN
Initiated may think, about perfumed
beds, for every one knows how good
housewives have for a generation
prided themselves on their napery and
that one of their special little fads
was to place lavender bags among the
sheets in order to add a little to the
luxury Of the sleeper. But when per-
TUNED beds are talked of nowadays
something Is contemplated which was
unknown to the old-time housewife.
Now between the mattress and the
sheet there Is laid a scented pad-a
thin quilted affair, which has one lay
er of cotton freely sprinkled with the
favorite sachet powder-which causes
the whole bed to smell deliciously Of
roses, violets, or whatever may be the
chosen perfume.
Pillows are also opened and sachet
powder Is sprinkled among the feath-
ers. Orris makes a perfume resem-
bling v%iolets, and there are some peo-
pie who like that of pine, which is cas-
lily obtained by gathering the needles
from the trees in summer and laying
them fiat in little sacks, which are
inserted In both pads and pillows.

No Love for the Turtle.

THE only living thing in this place
that nobody yer tries to pet Is the
turtle said the animal dealer.
There are certain tones Of the voice,
certain pats and punches that all anil
mails are especially responsive to. Par
rots like to be rubbed at a certain
spot on the top of the head, a maybe
is happiest when somebody is scratch
ing him under the wings, and certain
other birds have a preference for tick
ling under the chin. The dogs, the
cats, the mice and the snakes are par
tial to a particular kind Of love ma
king, and every day WI have visitors
who know enough about natural his
tory to pet each bird and beast &C
cording to its likes-everything, that
Is, but the turtle. Nary a pat nor q
punch nor a tickle. does anybody be-
stow upon him. Sometimes 1 feel sor-
ry for the poor old chap loundering
In his pool in solemn loneliness.
Touched to compassion by the af-
fecting picture. the visitor extended a
hesitating hand.
How do you pet a turtle, anyhow"
was asked.
"Give 1t up" said the dealer. Il
never got very intimate with 'em my
self"

small amount asked on such short no
tice, but that he would do the best he
could, adding that he did not feel JUS
titled in encouraging any hope In Gen.
eral Washington's breast that the
money could be secured.
General Washington's reply was
simple. Il know that you will do all
you can-as you have done already"
he said. Then he took Mr.. Morris
hand, held it for a moment, and went
away without again speaking.
"T never knew whether Mr.. Morris
secured the money or not Mr.. Brown
added. I do know that he went out OF
the office Immediately after General
Washington had departed. Two days
later, l think 1t was, the Battle OF
Brandywine was fought. General
Washington was defeated, and the
British occupied Philadelphia. Maybe
1t was all because Mr.. Morris a not
able to get for General Washington
the little money that he needed so
badly for his soldiers. But I cannot
say for a certainty"

snsuIted by a Judge, the Man Who
May Become a Supreme Court
Justice Nearly Abandoned the
Practise of Law.

Nov that Lloyd w. Bowers, the So
ucitor general Of the United States. is
being talked Of AS a probable Taft
nomination for the Supreme court, l
am reminded of an incident In Mr..
Bowers career which furnished the
crisis Of his life, and Of that incident
I have personal knowledge" remarked
a lawyer of national fame who once
was very close himself to becoming
q Supreme court justice.
81 think I am safe in saying" con-
tinued my informant. that there Is
not at the bar Of the United States,
and never has been, a man of greater
delicacy of sentiment or OF more con-
slant and perfect recognition of the
rights and feelings Of others than MI.
Bowers. He also has a high sense OF
personal honor, and 1t was due to the
combination of these characteristics
that there arose the crisis In his life
of which l speak.
Following his graduation from the
Columbia law school, he had been Tor
some time managing clerk OF a lead
ing law Office in New York city.
There he was highly esteemed and a
great career was predicted at the a
for him. And there he appeared n
day, displaying every evidence OF a
sense of humiliation, the mi OF a
man who had met with a g%rievous per-
sonal insult.
"His friends hocked around him
what was the matter, they asked
Then, in effect, Mr.. Bowers told them
that he had that day had such an I'M
happy experience in court he had de-
cided to abandon forever the profess
sion of the law. He had appeared In
court, he said, to ask that a long
pending matter be decided by The
court, stating that 1t was of no real
how the matter was de-
cided. but that It was imperative that
the decision should be made, that the
accounts in question might be settled
and money necessary for the living e
penses of his client be released. But
no sooner had he made his statement,
MI. Bowers went on to say than the
court visited its anger upon him,
shocking and humiliating him so that
he had decided to abandon the law,
because he did not wish ever again
to be placed in such a position where
he could be insulted, while at the
same time it would be impossible for
him to resent the insult.
Mr.. Bowers was perfectly sincere
in his expressed purpose to give up
his career as a lawyer, despite the
bright future that was before him, and

1.-TWO Incidents that come under my
observation in the zoo seemed TO snow
that birds and animals have a keen
sense of humor which comes to the
surface when they are not worrying
about the next meal" said an observ-
ing woman.
.aThere were several m n
mon in front of the bear den. The big
grizzly looked at them for a while n
then went to the pool and rolled about
until his shaggy coat got full OF water.
He then sided up to the bars untn
within q few feet of the visitors. Then
he shook himself. a a dog does, n
drenched the raiment Of the women.
Naturally they screamed and the year
apneared to chuckle over his joke and
repeated the performance on a new
crowd half an hour later.
"A flamingo in the big flying cage

feat Of walking or rather running on
the surface of the water. The water
in the pool is about three feet deep.
starting from the bank he would run
across the pool, his long legs going

his legs only, you would think he was

Senator BuIkeIey's Discovery Of Little
William Barlow, Who First DEM
onstrated for tho Hartfords
the Value Of Blunt.

One day, In the early spring OF 1874,
when Morgan G.. Bulkeley, now sem
ator from Connecticut, was backing
almost single-handed the Hartford
Comm baseball nine, which two
years later just missed winning the
championship, being only two games
behind the Chicagos, he took me to
see a game between the Hartfords
and a semi-professional club. We sat
in the scorers box.
81 have brought you here" said
Buckley, the most enthusiastic fan
have ever known, that you might see
at work the new youngster l found
playing with the old Atlantics OF
Brooklyn. He's out there at short
stop now; and l want you to keep
your eye on him. l don't mean that
you should keep your eyes glued on
him while he is playing shortstop. al
though he Is very good in that posi-
ton. But when he comes to bat don't
take your eyes of of him."
Pretty soon the %yOungster in ques-
ton, slight of build and only a few
inches over five feet, came to bat.
Now" cautioned Mr.. Buckley,
you will see something that you
have never seen before. don't know
whether it's right or not, according
| to baseball rules, but he does it-and
there you are"
The boy stod at the plate, with the
bat oustretched directly in front OF
him, like a musket at present arms
Thus holding the bat, he let the ball
hit it squarely after n or two balls
had been pitched. Immediately the
ball dropped. jumped in front of the
home plate, and Barlow was within
safe striking distance of first base
before the pitcher could recover the
ball
MI. Buckley beamed all over.
Now" he shouted above the uproar'
you will see the captain of the other
nine making vigorous objection" Sure
