ny THE OFT EASTER

BY THE OUT EASTER
 Fred Lailier died Q week or SO ago.
 You may not have known him, but If you lived in the Brooklyn district many years ago, you must have known of tho IAllier family, boys and girls, all well known among the good people over that way.
 We knew Freddie; we saw him in the days when he was an ace tive amateur baseball player with the Brooklyn A. c. Club, Our memory is he was Q second base- man, Q hard and trying player, fast on the move, and graceful In his manner of picking Up hard hit balls in his territory.
 Freddie like oil of the young men, of his time, entered the factory. But he didn't finger on e plane or machine as an ordinary worker, but started in with the Waterbury FarTel Foundry 10 learn. the trade of machinist and tool.maker. And In time he graduated with high honors, eventually to become and recognized aa an expert workman in his line, with his services in de-
 nand in various of the important machine companies of the city, For years, If we are right, he was connected with the E. J. Manville Machine company aS Q foreman. Skilled in the art of his trade, and far-seeing in the possibilities of machinery, his mind developed numerous ideas of improvement in the work assigned him, and there- fore, he became, and was recog. niZed as one of the most valuable of the high-class attaches of this great old concern.
 With changes brought about by the financial condition of the country, Freddie retired from the Manville company, and finally moved himself away to Indiana polls, where he worked and made his home for Q number of years. But he had the love of the old home town, just like the rest of Us, born and brought up here. There was no place just like Wa terbury to him, and new friends just couldn't take the place of old time aequaintances. We know this by reason of the hearty hand shake he gave us the last time he was in Waterbury on vacation.
 Gee, but it's great to meet an old time friend" he assured us, as he greeted us at Bauby's famous corner, in time to observe the well known Joe Garbarino shining up some of the choice apples at Bauby's favorite fruit stand.
 Joe, outside of yourself, seems to be about the only one we have recognized in the passing throng of the present day. Is 1t true most of the people I once knew have been taken away?"
 "Yes, Freddie, we answered: that 1t the fact; the boys of yes- terday grew up, ran into advanced age before they realized 1t, be- came i'll, and then passed out, some without even a struggle. And many of them were not much be- yond 50, too young to die."
 Our conversation ran into an hour or so. He could hardly bee heve the many who had died, dur ing his absence. He had not been in Waterbury in ten years or SO. had no papers, and really knew nothing about the city or its peo- pie during his absence.
 And that was not so long ago. Freddie looked the picture of health, was iovial and contented an we thought, and good for c number og years to come. But ten days or 90 ago. his good sisters and brothers received word 0f his

A hundred MacabeheS, deSeendants of Aztec Indians brought to the Philippines from Mexico by the SpanlardS, were hired as "QuartermNSter Scouts, This force grew, and gradually assumed more and more military characteristics,
 Tagalogs, ViSayans, 1locanos, Gag ayaros, Blools, MoroS and Tgorotes were incorporated Into the Scouts, As tho prestige of the service in- creased after the final collapse oi Philippine resistance in ie02, many of the former inSurreotoS joined up, and were received without pFei- udiee.

 Freddie Lallier was wonderful company in c party he was never without Q smile; he enjoyed Q joke with Q sincere laugh; he was serious when the occasion des manded; he loved friends he liked life; he was devoted to his sisters and brothers, and all of kin: he was 6 good taiker when he had to be, but never talked out of place: he was c clean conversationallst upon all occasions, e steady york; man, sound in thought and action, and Q high grade citizen.
 We liked him for the man he was, and his outstanding fr1end.. llness to Us. Of course we saw him in death: lt was the only respect we could accord him, and that we wished to do. And we think, # h0 could, he would have arisen and greeted us just as he did the last time we saw him in life, And we would have again talked over old times, old deeds, and the people we once knew when he and the rest of us galloped about the ball fields of the city, and got 30 much fun out of it.
 Freddie, aS they say in base boil, came to bat and struck out. Other friends before him did the same thing. And VIC are fearful, 1t won't be long now before we our. selves will "strike out". Already, there are two strikes on us, and the next one will mean the end.
