Uefed the straps to be at least
years old, and to have lain where they ;
ware found probably for that length of
time or longer {
It was In 1809 that Isaac Sherwood
gf Skaneatles became a partner of
Jasoa Barker of Utica In conducting
the stage line which passed through
this county, carrying the United States
mall. It la recorded that in 1816 a
Una of coaches, among the proprietors
of which was the Brm of Isaac 8her- !
wood A Co. of Auburn, was operated j
between Canandaigua and Utica
These coaches passed over what was
known ns the Seneca turnpike, con- |
Structed between the two points
named. It was designed to build this
mad six rods wide, the middle 25 feet
01 It to be covered with gravel or
broken stone to a depth of 16 inches. j
The Seneca Turnpike company was
authorised to erect a toll gate every
ten miles and exact 12>4 cents toll
for two-horse teams and 25 cents for
four horses.
From Utica east a tri weekly stage
line was operated to Albany and thlg
likewise was controlled by Sherwood
A Co. and others.
The comer of State and 1)111 streets
was a great center for stage coaches
Is the early days. Various other line*
besides the turnpike stages converged
fag Auburn, there being stages to Ho-
mer, Ithaca, Oswego, Aurora and other
places It was In that day that the
fight broke out between the Pioneer
Line, as a new competing com [sen t
was called, and the Sherwood combina-
tion.
The Pioneer Une gained control of
the principal hotel In the village,
known as the Western Exchange bop-
teg thus to embarrass its rivals But
tike Sherwood interests fitted up the
Bank of Auburn as it was known, for
their headquarters An issue of this
campaign was the question of running
stage coaches on Sunday
There ie an echo of the past called
up by the falling of the walls of an
abandoned distillery on South street.
These walls once inclosed the first
theater that was erected in the United
States It was burned out some years,
later, but the walls have remained to
this day
If surprise be noted over the loca-
t>e_ ! tlon of tue theater, it is only neces-
sary to point out that in the middle of1
the eighteenth century the moral and;
civic spirit of the day prevented the;
profanation of the city by any such<
institution, so it was erected outside
the boundaries and was In what was
known as Southwark. Of the troub-
lous history of this artistic enterprise
much has been written. It Is unfortu-1
nate tbst records of the dramas given,
are not complete and that we have
few contemporary criticisms from un-
biased pens upon the artistic worth !
of the thesplan representations. It ts
of record that the city authorities j ■
were much shocked, that much of 8o-; ,
clety (with a large 8) frowned on the i
Institution, and that rogues and vaga-
bonds were under the ban for a long} j
time
But even In that day there were; ,
those who found pleasure and profit: j
In attending the theater. A few years!
later George Washington was of those; ;
who patronized the enterprise At
that day the name of Washington
might have stood against the world,
and many young men at least consid-
ered that It would do them no harm to
follow their leader to the theater
If we can believe what evidence t«
available, dramatic managers in those
days had some Illumination and in-
spiration, as well as being mere pur-
veyors of entertainment The supply
of plays was meager and not of high
class, according to modern standards
The theater was ill appointed and
poorly lighted But the actors and ac-
tresses seemed to have had some
spark of divine afTlatus. for they re-
ceived commendations from foreign
ristors who had seen the best the
world afforded
The dawn of the American drama
cast a feeble light, but we may now
c atch a few gltntlngs of It as Its first

“Father of boasts and of mob!" so
spake the horse, approaching tbs
throne of Zeus—“1 am said to be one
of the most beautiful animals with
which thou has adorned the world;
and my self-love leads toe to believe
It. Nevertheleaa, might not eome things
tn me still be improved?”
“And what in thee, thlnkest thou,
admits of improvement? Speak! I
am open to instruction," said the In-
dulgent god with a smile.
"Perhaps," returned , the horse, ”1
should be fleeter If my legs were taller
and thinner. A long swan neck would
not disfigure me. A broader breast
would add to my strength. And, since
thou hast once for all destined me to
bear thy favorite, man—the saddle
which the well meaning rider puts up-
on me might be created a part of me.”
“Good," replied Zeus, “wait a mo-
ment!"
Zeus, with earnest countenance, pro-
nounced the creative word. Then
flowed life iDto the dust; then organ-
lied matter combined; and there stood
before the throne the ugly camel.
The horse saw. shuddered snd trem-
bled with fear and abhorrence.
“Here," said Zeus, "are taller and
thinner legs, here Is a long swan-
neck; here Is a broader breast; here
Is the created saddle! Wilt thou,
horse! that I should transform thee
after this fashion’"
j j The horse still trembled.
"Go!" continued Zeus "Be Instruct-
ed. for this once, without being pun-
ished But to remind thee, with oc-
casional compunction, of thy presump
tlon—do thou, new creation, continue!"
Zeus cast a preserving glance on the
camel "And never shall the horse
behold thee without trembling."—From

THE TAFT MYTH IN ____
f> P. Dunne contributes to the Aug-
ust American Magazine, In the de-
partment called "The Interpreter’s
House," an amaiingly Interesting
characterization of Taft and Roose-
velt, a brief ext rant from whioh fol-
lows:
“Several years before the conven-
tion of 1908 Mr. Roosevelt organized
the Taft boom and for the purpose of
advancing it he created the Taft myth
of almost superhuman sagacity, coup
age, learning, loyalty and patriotism.
No doubt he believed everything he
said at the time.
"He pressed everyone he met into
this service, and no president has ever
i made it a point to meet so many men
jof various achievements. We do not
j hesitate to discuss his personality.
(Nobody does. Although he is still one
of the liveliest of living men. the
| world Insists on treating him as If he
j had been dead ten thousand years, de-
I bating hla probable habitat, his ways
of acquiring food, hie ‘mental dispo-
sitions, his means of providing for his
young,, and »o forth. Thousands of
persons are trying to 'reassemble'
him and show us the ‘real Theodore
Roosevelt.' That none of the repro-
ductions Is complete ie no fault of
these paleontologists but |s due to the
fact seldom encountered by Investi-
gators that the subject Is still alive
and changing. But certain things we
know about him and one of them la
that no man of our time ha* enjoyed
a wilder or more thoughtful range of
interests, no one has found out more
accurately wh«t other men know, and
of no one could It he more truthfully
said that nothing human is foreign
to him.

AN UNHAPPY MOTHER
IN MIDST OF LUXURY
In an article in the August Wo-
man’s Home Companion. .Marion Har-
land writes about the care of old peo-
ple She makes tbe point that it is
unwise to relieve old people of all
responsibility, especially If they have
led active lives.
Following Is a story illustrating her
contention:
"Another prosperous man took his
sixty-five-year-old mother to hie home
and was mightily applauded for the
deed. 'She had bad a pretty tough
time bringing up a family of six chil-
dren and nursing an invalid husband
for five or six years before he died.
She was a good, energetic woman,
"capable” In the best Yankee sense
of the word and deserved the best her
rich son could do for her '
"Thus her little world of observers
and advisers.
"No direct attempt was made in the
new home to Interfere with her ideas
and habits. Her amiable daughter-
in-law and affectionate son lined the
nert with satin, and fed her upon the
finest of the wheat and upon honey
from the rock. ‘Grandama's will was
law In all that concerned herself
"I spent a few days in the house
when she had 'made her home' with
her son and hi* family ten years. She
was a querulous, suspicious, unile
wreck of her ouce bonny and blithe
self She almost literally rusted in
the armchair, from which she seldom
stirred all day long. The sharp eyes
retained something of the old fire, but
It was a baleful gleam, forever follow-
lowing the movements of the compan-
iang she detested and distrusted. From
the outset she had had no sympathy
with their feelings and pursuits. She
reminded me now of a spider crouch-
ed in a corner of her web, ready to
dart at any heedless fly that chanced
to cross the field of vision.
"One whine especially, which waa
uttered at every meal, ring* In my
ears even to this day:
“ Oh, I wisht 1 could eat soroeUBn’
taste* like it us'terl’
"It was not the cry of hunger, but
tbe cry of satiety."
