Watertown, N.Y., Dee. county hay dealers, prosperous through the high prices that have prevailed during "the past two years when hay was scarce in the west and plentiful in Northern New York, are taking a chance this year on another advance in prices and are holding much of their crop. One hay dealer said that he was being forced to pay from $10 to $15 a ton at the present time in the local market, with no great amount offered for sale. There is an embargo on the New York market existing at the present time, so that no hay is being shipped from this section and consequently but few sales are being recorded. The hay as a rule is of excellent quality. . During the years when the hay crop in the western states fell far - short of the normal vield tae hay growers in Jefferson county profited thereby, and now feel less inclined to take several dollars less for their crop. There are some who predict that be- fore spring hay will show an ad- vance.

London Daily News. onristy Mathewson was persuaded in the spring by one of the editor) of Pearson's Magazime to write an article on pitching baseball, Christy's talent never lay along literary lines, and before the article was right for the printer, Christy had made it over several times. Evidently, the experience taught him something about the labors of composition. When the world's series was on last fall between the Athletics and the Grants, Christy had four seats for one of Che games, Hundreds of people besieged him for those pre- cious pasteboards, but Mathewson turned them all down and called up his editor friend on the telephone. "I've got four seats for Wednes- day's game," he sak, "and you can have them if you want them." The editor is a dyed-in-the-wool baseball fan, and he accepted. Soon he began to wonder why Mathewson had saved the tickets for him; mand the more he thought about it, the more puzzied he was. Finally he got hold of Christy and asked him why he had given him the preference over so many "Nothing strange about that," said Christy. "You know we literary fellows have to hang together."
