ned in any season prior to September

The Cost of a Boy

Money values are of primary con-
sideration in the public eye. and es-
pecially are arguments in defense OF
the liquor traffic based on the fact
that money is invetsed IN the busi-
ness. In the presentation of this
phase of the question many lose sight
of the fact that the liquor traffic could
not continue in existence without
gaining constant recruits from the
youth of the country, and that boys
and girls have distinct money val
ue.
What does boy really cost? What
does he cost his mother? In the first
place she goes down almost to death
when he is born; she gives up social
life for him; she often gives up her
health for him-all this is worth
something. She cares for him when
he S a little fellow.
Then the boy gets older. and he is
out with the other boys, and the
mother worries about him, and he
goes away to school or college and
mother worries more about him.
If l were to place money value on
what that mother does for the boy
from the time he is born until he Is
twenty-one years of age. am not put
ting it too high when | assert IL Is
worth say two dollars a week-you
could not hire it done for that-which
means that the mother has invested
in the boy from the time he was born
until he is twenty-one years of age
more than twenty-one hundred dol
lars in hard work.
What Has Father Done for the Boy7
He has provided the home, the
food and lodging, paid the doctors
bills, paid for his books. his clothes
and this is no small item, for boys
are hard on their clothes-paid for
his schooling, and his b'lls when he
went to college, so that when I make
the average amount exnended by the
father one hundred dollars per year
my estimate is low. but this means
that when the boy has reachey TWEEN
ty-one years of age his father and
mother have expended upon him In
cash and hard labor more than four
thousand dollars.
If I had house valued at four
thousand dollars and some one were
to destroy it by fire, wcald have the
man arrested and sent to the peni-
tentiary, but if had boy, and a
house, l would thousand times rath-
er some one would set fire to my
house and burn it to the ground than
have the saloon get hold of my boy
and ruin him, body and soul. Wouldn't
you?
The greatest financial question be-
fore the American people is protec-
ton to the boys. Fortunes can be
made and lost, and other fortunes
made, but boys once destroyed can

DEVELOPMENTS EXPECTED SOON
INTHE MEXICAN SITUATION
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Sept. 4.-William Bay
ard Hale, who has spent the last three
months studying the political condi-
tions in Mexico, laid before President

visit with the administration officials.
Il is understood, however, that he
gave them an intimate description OF

THE UNIMPORTANcE OF THE
BRIDEGROOM

The editor of the Lake Region once
described in a column article a brill
liant Kentucky wedding without men
tioning the name of the groom al
| though he was and is one of the most
prominent citizens of Seattle, Wash
ington, Hon. Evan S. McCord. He re-
turned to Richmond to claim the
sweetheart of other days, Miss Eliza
beth Bennett, and the wedding was
brilliant social event. The editor
thought to produce the article of his
life in the report for his paper. He la
bored through a detailed description
of the whole affair, ceremony, recep-
tion and farewell, gowns, grooms-
men, going away and all, and such a
write-up you never saw. Next day,
when the paper appeared, the commu-
nifty en- masse asked for the name of
the groom! Alas, his name had not
been mentioned in the entire column
article. So dumbfounded was the ed
itor over his blunder he printed the
following poem in an extra edition of
the paper:
This is a proper recipe
For weddings in society;
Take care and pick with anxious care
A blushing bride, surprising fair,
Add friends and relatives galore,
Of showers" six of teas, a score;
Mix thoroughly with hats and gowns,
Dressmakers, WEAKNESS and frowns,
Drop in a few receptions, gay,
Stir with reporters night and day.
Then add lovely night in June,
A powered church, an organ tune;
Twelve pretty bridesmaids, all in blue,
A father, and six ushers, too;
A minister, vow, a ring;
Then in the mixture quickly fling
Congratulations, kisses, smiles,
Twelve clocks, six platters, twenty
styles
OF forks and spoons, some cut glass
ware,
A Turkish rug, an easy chair;
A check from father on plate,
A picture painted Dy Aunt hdLS.
Then stir again and add once more
A carriage waiting at the door.
A peck of rice, friendly brawl,
A mother weeping in the hall;
A shout, shoe, hurried rum
la click of hoofs-the thing is done
Let's see-there must be something
more
To add before the task is DER.
I A burst of joy, pinch of gloom?
IOh, yes, of course, throw in a groom.

DOUBLE DROWNING
IN RACfWAY At
WILLIAMSBURG
Child Fell In and Man Lost Life
In Attempted Rescue
BOTH BODIES WERE RESCUED
B0TH BODIES WERE RESCUED
Little Raymond Duboise Found
CIasped In the Arms of His
Great Uncle, Edward Riel.

A double drowning occurred in
Wiltiamstown late yesterday after
noon when Raymond Duboise the
three-years-old son of James Duboise
fell into the raceway of Greylock
mill and in attempting to rescue
him, Edward Riel, As, fell in after
him. Riel was unable to swim and
both were drowned. George Bird
was near the scene of the accident
and rushed to the assistance of the
two but it was fully half hour
before he recovered the bodies. He
dived several times and finally
brought them up out of 20 feet of
water. The child was locked in
Rieps arms and for time it was
thought that the child might be re-
vived. Physicians worked for fully
an hour on both bodies but without
avail.
The parents of the Duboise child
were in Pittsfeld for the day and
left the three children in the care
of Riel who lives at the Duboise
home. Late in the afternoon Riel
took the boy, Raymond, to spring
on the bank OF the raceway tc get
some spring water While the child
was trying to drink from the spring
he fell into the raceway and Riel
attempted to pull him out by reach
ing from the bank. In doing so he
lost his balance and fell in head fore
most. Selling the child at the same
time and carrying 1t down with him.
Riel came to Williamstown from
Canada a little more than year
ago and had lived with the Dubois
family. Mrs. Duboise being his
niece. He was employed in the
mill of the John Boyd manufacture
ing company. The Duboise family
has resided at the station for many
years. The parents of the boy knew
nothing of the accident until their
arrival at home after O'Clock last
night. The bodies, in the meantime
had been taken to the undertaking
rooms of George NJ. Hopkins.

HoosIcks oIssANpEo
Manager Phelan Discouraged by Lack
of Support

After vain attempt to arouse suf-
ficient enthusiasm in Hoosick Falls
to support a team in the Four-Town
baseball league, Manager Marty Phe-
Ian threw up the sponge Tuesday
night and disbanded his team. The
men left town Wednesday. Ever
since he started his team here Mr..
Phelan has experienced hard luck
He was well aware that his team waA
weak in spots and that a first-class
showing could not be made until the
weak places were strengthened, by
the substitution of better players. He
thought that everyone understood
that he was risking lot of money to
keep the team going until such a
time as he could afford to secure bet
ter players for some of the posi-
tons.
Had the games received anywhere
near the patronage that had been ex-
pected would be given, Mr.. Phalen
would soon have been in a position
to make the changes which he desir-
ed to. but with a continued lack of
support, and but a small degree of
interest shown in the matter he felt
that while a comparatively few ar
dent baseball fans wanted to have
league team here the great majority
did not.
Manager Phelan, after a careful
consideration of the situation from
all points concluded that league ball
could not be supported in Hoosick
Falls and therefore as stated above
decided to disband his team.-Hoos-

MISS SCHUYLER WEEDS
Former Bennington Girl Married at
Portland, Me.

The Portland, Me-, Express gives
the following account of the marri-
age of Miss Phyllis Schuyler former
ly of Bennington:
The Cathedral Church of st. Luke
was the scene of one of the most
brilliant and important society we'd
dings which have taken place In this
city in several years when at high
noon today Miss Phyllis Schuyler,
daughter of Canon and Mrs. Philip
Schuyler, State street, became the
bride of Sidney st. Felix Thaxter,
son of Mrs. Sidney w. Thaxter of
Spring street. The prominence OF
the families made the wedding one
of more than usual interest, and long
before the hour appointed for the
ceremony, State St, with its broad
esplanades and its magnificent elms,
presented handsome scene, for 1t
was lined nearly the entire length
with carriages and autos, while the
beautifully gowned women and the
general air OF expectancy added to
the effect. The interior of the
church with its dignified yet simple
architecture was never more beauti.
full than on this occasion.
Giant white peonies tinted pale
pink lent their fragrance to the at
mosphere, and made an effective dec
grafton against background of
palms. Great boxes of iris and Shas
ia daisies we're placed at the win
dows, and masses of the daisies
we're tied at the ends of the pews
with white gauze, making an aisle of
daisies through which the bridal
party passed. Alfred Brinkler was
at the organ and played the pastor
al suite by Demarest, swinging a few
moments before high noon into the
triumphal strains of the Lohengrin
Bridal Chorus, to which the bridal
party entered the church. The ush-
ers were the Messrs. Langdon Thax-
ter, Allen Thaxter, Donald Runciman,
Harold Payson, Ralph Hinkley, Rob-
ert Payson and Frederick Tabor of
