He-has been led to take that course (by the long-continued depression in trade. When Mr. Crofut’s factory was de- stroyed by fire a few years ago, he was doing a large and prosperous business. When he rebuilt the season was over. The next succeeding season was a dull one, as every one has been since that time. . - No man has stood higher in the hat- ting trade, nor is there one who has more sincerely the affection and good will of the hundreds of Danbury men and women to whom he has given em- employment in the old days when hat- ting was at its best.

It was dif- ficult to guess whether the people in the wagon had escaped from a lunatic asylum or were harmless masqueraders out for a lark. They were rigged up to represent ruralities, but their costumes were so grotesque that the horses they - were driving stopped occasionally to glance over their manes and laugh. People whose curiosity led them to make inquiry in regard to the party learned that they were Norwalk Hay- makers. They came to Danbury to visit the local Haymakers’ Loft. Hay- makers are peculiar people and have peculiar ideas in regard to dress. The Norwalkers brought with them a wagon load of pumpkins and corn—stalks and other products of the suburban village in which they, live. They stared at the electric cars and marvelled at'many of ’ the sights here in the city. Later in the evening the party wandered about the streets, followed by a crowd of small boys. They were obj ects of mirth wherever they went. The Reubens were finally caged in Red Men’s hall and worked the Haymakers’ degree up- on a dozen or more Danbury tramps whom they found in their barn-yard.
