As they swam qulekly la and out.
And the red squirrels chattered from the

As I drank from tbe wooden spout.

And the cream was so rich and cold.
And the butter patted by Mary's hand
Was yellower than gold. .

HOW ONE TOWN SOLVED
ITS AMUSEMENT PROBLEM
Plttsfield, Mess* New Has Qoed Plays
•f Educational Value.
Two years ago tbe citizens of Pitts
field. Mass., decided that it would bt
well to try to make tbelr local tbeatet
an Institution of some value to tb
community lustead of bavlug It con
ducted after tbe manner of theaters ID
Bout of tbe tmaller cities and towns
of the United States. Their experi
ence may be of value to other places
suffering from similar evils. * ■
Tbe theater was la- a rundown con
ditlon and under management which
had let It go from bad to wore*. The
Plttsfield men got together and chip
ped in enough to buy It out and out
and put it in good condition In every
way. They did not confine tbelr ef
forts to the front of the bouse, but
even went so far as to put In decent
dressing rooms with modern conveni
ences. They made tempting terms
and tried to secure attractions which
would give Plttsfield something be
sides a constant succession of cbesp
musical sbows and fiy by night enter
tainments. In this they were fslrly
successful, but found that tbey were,
like other places, tbe victims of the
erratic booking system which controls
theatricals In America, in addition
tbey found that conducting the enter
prise was taklug more of their time
and energy than they cared to devote
to It Therefore they turned tbe house
over to William Parke, who had bad
a considerable experience at tbe Castle
Square In Boston,* and aided him In tbe
establishment of a stock company.
Mr. Parke was so encouraged by bis
early experiences with tbe Plttsfield
public that he took the theater over at
a rental which Is satisfactory to Its
owners, snd Plttsfield now hss an at
tractive. well conducted theater, at
which are regularly presented by a
well trained company the standard
plays and the more recent successes as
fast as tbey are released for stock com
pany use.
With the knowledge that their thea
ter could he relied upon a new theater
going publl" has developed not only In
Pittsfleld Itself, but In the territory
which Is icraMlbh by trolley. Finan
cially It hii/,nut been a great aucceaa
10 far. but ban been self supporting to
an extent flint makes every one con
cerned willing to go on with the enter
prise. The exiwriineiit la of value to
other communities Ibiit And themselves
in the an me position aa Pittsfleld.
In N'orthiiiiipton, Muss., they have
tried out the ex|iertment of a municipal
theater with considerable aucceaa, but
this Idea IN uot ao likely to commend
Itself to American communities. There
la a reasonable existing prejudice
among most Americana agalnat using
public tnoueys for purposes of amuse
ment, even In the form of an educa
tional tbenter. T.here can, of courae,
be no aacb objection to such an enter
prise aa that In Pittsfleld, and the of
teuer It la copied the better for dra
matic art In America. The stock com
pany la about the only practical school'
for the stage that we have In this coun
try and today la 'supplying the best
new material that comes to the metro

When the board of health of Corn
wall; a village near the city of New
borg, N. Y„ after re|ieuted appeal*,
failed to clean np the Moodna creek,
a stream which bad long been made
the dumping gfound of all kliula of
refuse and constituted a constant men
ace to health, the women of the town
took the matter into their own hands.
Wealthy women organised an improve
ment society, which waa nicknn met!
"the tin nan committee," and set about
the cleaniug np of tlie creek and ad
jacent properties.
Planked by a squad of boy scouts,
many of the most prominent women of
the towu marched to the Moodna with
hoes snd rakes and began a cleanup
of tbe bunks of the creek. On the llrut
day their labors, which had progressed
finely, were Interrupted by rain, but
the following week tjMlr work was
finished. Hans are now being perfect
ed to keep the creak and Its environs
In a condition where It will lie neither
an eyesore nor a menace to tbe health
of tbe community.
At tbe conclusion of their labors the
women as id that the Moodna bud
been made the dumping ground for all
aorta of garbage and what they did
waa "by way of protest against this
custom. which Is calculated to make
the beautiful country tfnhealthy and to
give an unfavorable impression of the
artistic nature of Ita Inhabitants to tbe
