The Retired
Farmer

One of the sordid pages In the his
tory Of mankind is the tragic record
Of the farmer who leaves the soil to
come to town-to take life easy.
One of the first things he does 10 to
nay four times more than 1t 10 worth
for . house commodious enough 90
that he has room to turn around In 1t.
He soon discover that he can't run
around the house baretooted the way
he did on the farm, % It leaves grease
spots on the rugs. He can't smoke
IN the house because It darkens tho
curtains and mskes the tront room
smell "mousy." His wife pulls his ear
for splitting tobacco juice IN tho ht-
chen sink, and he gets tired sitting
around the house reading the news
papers and wearing good clothes.
He early fnds out that the hard
city pavements rebound on his ner-
yous system and he has rubber heels
nut on his shoes and adopts the slip
shod "mooch" like ham.fed politi-
clan looking for stray votes.
"All going out and nothing coming
in" soon wears hole in his trouser
pocket continually reaching for his
pocketbook, and "ere he Is aware" he
is eating substitute butter. cold stor-
age eggs and limburger "ersatz!"
Some one finds out he has a few
dozen or more thousand dollars, and
wildcat" "blue.sky" artists, fancy
stock promoters, oil men and gold
mine swindlers are lying awake
nights trying to get his money, and
he hands over his iron men" IDOL
lars) for something he will never real
ize red cent" on.
The free and easy life Of the fra
grant hills and meadows is In
strange contrast to the cramped and
foul smelling city with its thousands
Of brick chimneys belching forth
their demoralizing conglomeration of
coal, coke and anthracite smoke.
His liver becomes torpid, his eye
loses its lustre, and his appetite
goes on a strike. Gradually from the
free and easy tempered, guileless son
of the soil, he becomes "cold, care
fretted heartless man." who in a few
years has gained thirty pounds in
weight, lost five thousand bucks and
developed a cynical attitude toward
life and an appetite for cove oysters.
His wife and children chortle with
Joy as they step from their brown
stone front into the elegant flivver,
and paw sits in the bay window mus
ing on the whichness Of the whyfore.

Country Has
New Tennis
Star in Sight

This country has another tennis
able rer orts covering the recent
matches for the Massachusetts state
title, in which George c. Gamer. for
mer Harvard net star, defeated
Nathaniel w. Niles, many times
winner Of the Bay State silks. Gamer
is said to be regular tennis 'sensa-
ton and one that should capture
every honor of note here this sum-
men, with Johnston and Tilden out
of the country.
This attest net phenom is some
what of q puzzle to the tennis fra
ternity always on the look out for
a conner" Gamer plays brilliant ten
mis- in some departments, but he is
said to be downright awkward, and
not inf1equently spoils his own bril-
liant stroking when he is unable> to
move with speed or precision.
Gamer is not entirely new to the
tennis followers Of the east. He
broke into the limeligft back in 1913,
when he captured the singles at the
Harvard scholastic title. Gamer rep
resented st. Marks at that time. But
lost sight of, until he appeared in the
Bay State meet, only to astound the
tennis fraternity with his wonderful
game. Now the wise heads are won
dering where Gamer has been prac-
ticing his game since 1913.
Gamer towers slightly above the six
foot mark in height. He carries no
excess weight. seems fast, and has
an excellent repertoire Of strokes,
but he lacks the shifty quality SO
valuable in net champion, and has
the fault OF not timing his returns
accurately and In apparently being
unable to get set" for an effective
return. But Gamer Is the greatest
surprise this season has furnished
here sc far. Niles ranked twelfth
on the national list and for him to
succumb, to an almost unknown
proves the former Harvard star has
the fun damentals Of championship
form.
The most interesting feature OF
Gamers triumph over Niles is the
fact that Gamer won at Niles game.
Niles has always been a master at
the back court game, but Gamer
simply outplayed him on the back
court, and at that time displayed un-
usual knowledge Of that particular
form Of play. Niles is enthusiastic
over Gamers work and has -volun-
teered 10 assist him in every way
possible. They are expected to clash
again in the LongWood events, In
which both have been entered.

Sentiment in the local hog market to-
day was poor at the opening and the
prices of hogs were not materially
changed from those Of the Friday mar
ket
Prices held steady to 1oc lower, but
trading was slow, and 1t was thought
that unless some unforeseen move was
made that would give better sentiment
that there would be many of the 1000
fresh hogs on the market left over for
the opening of next weeks market.
Eastern shippers We're not as active as
they were on the Friday market. and the
local packers took that as good incen-
tive to hold prices to the level OF yes
terday.
Good mixed and heavy hogs were about
steady, but the Toe drop was noticeable
in the trading in light hogs
Both roughs and pigs lost a quarter IN
the shake-up of the market, Poughs
bringing SIS and pigs SIG.
The bulk of sales for the day ran close

GEMS AND ESCAPE
Two Men Rob jewelers. Agent
at Buffalo.

BUFFALO, N. Y. Oct. 1.-TWO hum
dred thousand dollars worth Of set dia-
monds were stolen from Max Lowenthal,
80, of Buffalo, agent for the Philip Pres
emit & Co, wholesale jewelers. of Roches-
ter, N. Y, by two men today.
Lowentha1 had just alighted from
street car on his way home with the
diamonds in two suit cases, when be
was attacked.
After knocking Lowenthal down with
revolvers, the robbers jumped into a
taxicab and drove away
Clarence Miller, driver. stopped the
taxicab in front Of a police station.
He jumped out and ran to notify thu
police, but the robbers escaped
Shortly afterwards it was reported to
police that two men had thrown a suit
case into a vacant lot
Police went to the lot and found the
suit case, which bore LowenthaTs initials.
1t contained two or three diamond
rings which had been overlooked.
After LoYenthaFs injuries had been
dressed, he told police he believed the
robbers had followed him from Chicago
where he obtained the diamonds
He said most of the diamonds were
set in platinum.
Neither LOWentha1 nor Miller could
give a good description of the bandits.
CHICAGO, Oct. 9-Two theories ara
being followed by the police today in
their search for a $4,000 pearl neck
lace which mysteriously disappeared
from the dressing table of Mrs. James
Simpson, wife of the vice president Of
Marshall Field & Company. in their,
summer home at Glencoe.
One theory is that a porch-cliT lber
entered the room and removed the neck
lace.
The other is that a servant in the
household is responsible for its disap-
pearance.
The necklace, string of 200 pink
pearls, vanished about three weeks ago.
but knowledge of its disappearance was
concealed until today
