Byron, n. Y, July 30.-The little
company Of New York Tribune Fresh
Air children who have been guests Of
people of Byron, South Byron, Bergen
and North Bergen for the past two
weeks will leave this evening on the
1920 o'clock West Shore train for their
homes in New York. They have had a
happy time and the majority are re-
luctant to leave, wishing they might
remain at least two weeks longer. They
have been very we'll behaved and their
hosts and nostesses have become much
attached to them and have been glad
to give them the pleasure of the two
weeks outing.
The weather has been almost perfect,
so that the children have spent most of
the time out Of doors always on the
lookout for something new. Not much
has escaped them. Some Of them had
been in the country before, but many
of them had not.
They have played and romped about
with the other children of the com
munity, who have very good-naturedly
received them into their circles.
Two little fellows wanted. first OF
all, to see an apple tree. One in
formed the hostess late that he had
eaten twenty-six; of course, they were
green. He did not brag after that
about what he ate.
One little girl seemed to think that
all things in the country grew, for
after eating a pound of crackers one
afternoon she inquired where they
grew
Two chaps had never seen lawn
mower. They thought it great fun to
NOW the lawn. Later, when told they
might 90 to see the wheat cut, they
asked if the lawn mower was used for
that, too. Binders were a source of
great curiosity. Watching the men set
up the bundles of wheat one boy said;
ooh, look at them picking up the pack
ages of wheat"
Two Spanish boys who have been in
this country only two years were enter
tanned on g farm where there is a
large berry patch. They had never
seen berries before. and called them
cherries. The first day they came in
with their waists and pockets full OF
black raspberries with juice dropping
everywhere. These same boys nae
never before see corn popped. They
enjoyed the country eggs, not having
had any the twos years they had been
in New York. They had been told at
home not to go near cows, because
they would hook them, but on seeing
some cows one said he was not afraid
of them because they had no hooks.
A little Polish girl. picking a bur
dock leaf. told some other children
that at the house where she was they
first had those leaves 10 eat on plate
with something on them and another
time had them cooked.

Imagine, if we can, the time
When George, in velvet coat,
Sent perfumed notes to Marthas bower
Or lovelorn verses wrote,
When Cupid sent his piercing rays
In George and Martha's courting days.
And when, perchance, he went to WOO
Mayhap his snowy lace
At wrist and throat just brushed across
His bIushing lsdy's face
And eyes met eyes in fondest gaze
In George and Martha's courting days.
So picture to yourself her smile
As there on bended knee
The lover knet by Martha's side
And vow'd his constancy.
For theirs were lovers old, sweet
ways
In George and Martha's courtins days.
