of their pelts in exchange for various articles the principal of w was firewater there lived in the town a young man named hleleger vaji tromp he was in love with anrwke van wlnklo a one specimen of s dutch girl who when wearing all the petticoats she possessed looked very much like a humming top some twenty iflsss from schenec tady the remains of a historical man scn that was occupied by sir william johnson promuveht in coloniah thmefe still stand aiur trader named aar- tin smith lived in that region and mode frecftient trips tojschenectady in the way of business on one of tus trips he caught sight of annette van win kle and fell violently in lave with her a neighbor of efielegers told bun that he had better look out for his sweet heart for the englishman was then at ir house begglns her xo go back with him to long house as the residence of sir william johnson was called this is ihe only record case of hleleger showing any animation tie get up from h5 chair dropping his pipe which was shattered and trian gulated to anetes house smith saw him coming his eyes afire and with discretion withdrew hleleger chased him out of town and when the fom- er returned his shirt was bloody it was supposed that the dutchman had given the englishman nothing mere than a good trouncing until a man came in from johnsons to lean what had become of smith for he had ccue to schenectady for a day only and though a week had passed he had net returned the fact that when hleleger had come back from chasing his would be rival blood was on his clothing was proof to the dutchmen that he had killed smith a search was made for tbe body but it was net found but ttals had little weight for it was suppose dthat the murderer had buried it hleleger was tried and convicted the fact that smith had disappeared after having been chased that blood was on the shirt of the man who had chased him was quite enough for those who tried van tromp without wasting words over any possible ex planation the dutchman of that per led was not imaginative of ingenious what was before his eyes he saw of of what might be behind his back ne took no note that hleleger had killed the man who sought to take his sweetheart from ban they did not doubt some were inclined to leniency on account of the provocation but these were overuled by the wise heads who declared that murder was murder and that was all there was about it so hleleger was condemned to be hanged one montri from the day on which he was convicted anneke received the verdict stolidly at least she appeared to do so though her face was so fat that it is not prob able any change of expression could appear in her lineaments neverthe less she loved hleleger and her love for him had been much enhanced on seeing him chase away the man who had thrust his attention upon her she went to her home sat down in the living room and talcing up her knittms began to think for anneke could never think unless her fingers were working the needles it would be a mistake to suppose that because annexes face was as round as an apple and her little eyes were set above a pair of exuberant cheeks she had no power of thought she had considerable thinking appara tus that is for those times m the stupid dutch own in which she lived and she was not so slow in ber thoughts as one would suppose while she was knitting a pair of stockings she thought out a plan by which she might possibly save her lover from the gallows it was not nlan that would lwork in any other age or among any other people but for them it was ad mirably adapted for the schenectady burgher was a man accustomed to moving m a single plane out of that plane he at once became befogged and could not move at all there was in those days one church in which all the people of sobenectedy worshiped in its steeple was a clock that furnished them the time the sun might rise and set irregularly but the clock went right on just the same in deed it would have been treason to doubt its accuracy for it was the only calendar in the town by the hour it marked all thmgs were decided if a man promised to pay a sum of money in thirty days the expiration of the pe riod was not marked by the fact that the sun had risen aid set thirty times but that the hour hand of the clock had noted the passage of thirty days i thepeopje in schenectady were used i in those days to gettag up at 6 m the morning one morning a large num- ber of people awakening at their usual time were surprised that they remaln- ed awake an hour before the clock george am blossom in person in the follies auspices canadian legion plan at idanns dfug store struck six but they were slow in com paring notes and even if they had done so they would not have suspect ed that there was anything wrong with the clock they would have at tributed the fact tliat so many of them had lain awake an hour in the morning to cotncideaice the next morning- when the people awoke they discovered that the clock instead of registering six or five as it had done the morning before register ed four this circuxnixanoe created a greater disturbance in the village than anything jadever oocured hi the vil lage since the great indian massacre it was evident that the clock had lost considerable time for two days before the sun had risen at ax oclock and now when tiiedocks struck that hour the sun was high in the heavens had the clock been a few minutes too alow or too fast even had the burghers known it tbwy would not have wondered as it was they did not know what to make of it so great was their faith in their rtneplece than in stead of thinking it wrong they hud the blame on the sun though many of them preferred to believe that the devil had got into tbe belfry and had lnterferred with the mechanism a committee of three was appointed to sit up and watch the hands to see when the change took place the dial was lighted by a full moon and they could see it dlsunctljr by ten oclock they had drunk so much schnapps that they saw a marvelous sight the hands spun round like the spokes of a rapidly moving wagon wheel first forward and then backward stopping at nine this settled the matter the devil was at work n the belfry when twelve days had passed the j i burghers began to notice that each niornlng the dockwms getting nearer their listng hour thougn it now seem ed to be gaining instead of losing and before four weeks had passed it bad come tight again then they con cluded that tfae devil bad ttrejte of sopun wrtdit and had left it alone for it went on steadily for twentyfour days after it had comenced its antics meanwhile the date of heueger uan tromps execution approached ufhe morning of the execution anneke van winkle went to the judge of the court and said your worship i have a confession to make what is it anneke asked the judge it is in eonnectlon with the hang ng of hetreger van tromp what day was he sentenced to be hanged friday that is today this is not friday your worship it is saturday what is the matter with you an neke has the loss of your lover made you mad no your worstdp i say it is satur day because we nave lost a day every night for twentyfour days i have climbed to the belfry of the church and turned lite hands of the clock back an hour did you db that anneke ltres the judge began topusxe his brain over the question as to whether a day had been lost or not by the setting back of the hands of the dock but nc reaching any conclusion he sent word to the sheriff not to execute the prisoner until further orders then he called in the most prominent ctlxens and stated the case to them asking their opinion whether annexe having set back the hands or the clock twenty four hours the day on which heueger van tromp was to be executed bad passed the question struck those to whom it was pronounced as the most diffi cult they had ever been called upon to solve after an hours babel during which some inalntatned one side and seme another and frequent shifting frcm one side to the other it was decided that the matter was too im portant to be decided in a hurry and they all adjourned to a place where they could procure schnapps and tob acco when the hour of noon came the time the hanging bad been ordered the debate was still going on and had extended to every person in the vil lage never had there been such excite- menttn the sleepy old town since the day of the great tridlan fight in 190 a man would be of one oplnon while his wife took opposite views they quarreled fathers and sons mothers and daughters contended and before nightfall all the lovers in town were estranged the next mornlna- tbere being doubt whether the day was saturday of sun day the trouble liroae out afresh some cailed on tne domtne to hold service others declared that the church should not be opened this caused a riot at the door of the san- tuary those trying- to get in being attacked by those trying to keep the church shut during the- afternoon a man was seen crossing the mohawk river in a boat it was agreed that this person who doubtless came from long house be asked whether the day was sat urday or sunday when he came near enough for the people to distinguish his features he was seen to be the murdered man every man woman and child being more interested in the date than the legal aspects involved in smiths re turn met htm with the question what day is this he was so start led that he could not tell them till he examined mernorancla be had in his pocket then be declared that it was saturday the question of the hanging was set tled not only by the return of the supposed victim but from the fact thai the day set for the execution had passed the people were beside them selves with joy that they had not hanged hleleger and took annexe whose wit had saved htm on -theb- scoulders and carried her to the jail where her lover was set free land they insisted that a wedding service be performed immediately so the domlrw was called and the pair were married county council 1932 the county council will be compos ed of the followingrnrnners this year acton reeve george barber georgetown reeve harold cleave oakville reeve

national committee for mental hygiene division of edu cation says that the left handed child should be left alone the attempt to break a child off left handedness of ten causes stuttering and other evi dences of mental confusion the reason why the vast majority of people the world over civilised and uncivilised are right handed is not thoroughly understood and why an occasional p is lefthanded is likewise unknown in a world of right handed persons the lefthanded ones are sometimes at a disadvantage for nearly every- chixd and parent mothers are prone to be very self- sacrificing toward their children they deny themselves with joy because it gives them pleasure to see their child rens wants supplied bu wh the sacrifice is made ttwy often experi ence a pang of disappointment be cause the child made so little recogni tion of the selfdenial fathers seem to srjve less heed to the matter of appreciation- perhaps it is because they are such willing burden bearers that they simply do and dp arid do for tbe family with no thought of reward or perhaps society s expected it of them as being mans place to provide or perhaps they are so big in spirit and so busy that they do not have time to bother about such petty affairs a little gratitude jiowever is ap preciated by every body and even though father makes no whine when it is not forthcomlntf try lavishing a little on him sometime and see how he glows under it mother is sure to have a little heartache if none is coming to her and yet it is not tor thanks that parents serve their children it b really their job the children do not t the stork to dsposlte them in that household and if the parents put in a bid for these children it is up to them to care for them this howevesy does not excuse from appreciation those ctuldren who are getting tor and care and luxuries it would be the fair and polite thing to give gratitude to anyone who loves you enough to serve you even if he were so devoted to you that it is his dearest delight to do something for you dont be stingy with gratitude nor afraid it will spoil your fond par ent j parents will be disappointed if they exapect full appreciation from their children children are careless they do not realise the sacrifices which their parents make for them if a oeetlng thought of it cros thetr consclousness they dfamtas it with the thought this is dads job or mother is happiest when she ls do ing theeethings ttoere is happiness when she is doing these things there is another thing to kte said for the children sometimes we lavish upon them favors we would like for them to have rather thanjhe things they wish to have or we bestow our gifts before they have arrived at the stage to care for them and these live them no thrill of joy some- day these children will be parents and pouring their lives and energies out upon their children and wondering whats wrong that there is m little comeback of appreciation dorothy attending the episcopal church for the first time was sur prised to see the people about ber roeel suddenly she asked her rnotber why and was told hush they are going to say their prayers- what with all their clothes on said doro thy t thing is arranged fashioned and con structed with righthandedness in view nature tends toward standard- ixation and everything seems to be against those who tnsome particuuar differ from the common run perhaps it is for this reason that teachers and parents frequently make such an effort to break a child off lefthandedness sometimes with ious results for the child one com mon effect for such attempts is to cause the child lo stutter other ev idences of mental confusion may fol low psychiogists are not in merit as to the reason for this but a sufficient reason is that it is always poor practice in training children to work against rather than with them this applies to other things than left- handedness and suggests that the trouble does not lie entirely in the act of changing a child from the use of the left hand but rather in the way in which it ls done the mechanism involved are so complex ho that one may be safe in saying that it is much better to leave a lefthand ed child alone than without any more knowledge of the subject than the average person has to attempt a change there is no objection to a left handed childs being carefully taught to use his right hand in addition two hands are always better than one but there is no good reason why the child should not be allowed to continue the use of his left hand if he so prefers an eminent cana dian sculptor uses

partial success at home and at school though it never made him stutter he still throws with the left hand till well on in boyhood he used the knife and spoon at table m bis left hand at school he wanted to write with the lefthand but that was nipped in the bud for tunately on the whole though his handwriting was never good pcestbuy because of the natural pent that was broken however lefthanded writing is seldom good it does not confirm to the physical requirments of out script exchange teachers remuneration should be the last to suffer reduction the work of the teacher is of particular im
