Adams to Troy.

Charles Donnelly of Massachusetts

unusual feat of covering the distance

morning and arrived in the union sta
tion at Troy at 3:10. The distance is
40 miles over the route taken by Don
nelly and considering the heavy rain
and poor condition of the roads, the
performance Is remarkable. Donnelly

Not drum was heard, not a funeral

AS his corse to the back yard we hur-

Not printer but held his nose and
SWore
Ger the grave where our muskrat
We buried.
We buried him deeply at dead of night
The ashes with coal shovel turning,
BY the distant arc lamps misty light
And corn-cob fiercely burning.
Few and short were words we said
And not in tone of sorrow
AS we quickly inferred the stinking
thing
And wished for the sweet tomorrow.

places by the extreme and peculiar
hardships of laboring down under the

physically fit to fight off the rheuma-

avail themselves at will of the amuse-
ment chains terminating with Coney
island or West End.
Demands for a new seaside district
led to the removal of the Manhattan
beach hotel. Extension of that de-
mand brings on the doom of the ORR
entail. This reveals an interesting de-
velopment of life in the metropolitan
districts. Not less interesting and in
some ways more Important is the fact
that the old order has passed, leav-
ing no exact substitute. Coney island
still exists ut an extreme popularity.
For the people of different inclina-
