TO I I PEOPLEOFThe time has come for me to an-

nounce that I am not a candidate forre-election to the honorable and high-est office within your gift—that ofMayor.

If ray efforts and services have beenbeneficial to you 1 am thankful.

I shall calmly continue my courseof advocating policies which, I believe,will benefit the interests of our Cityand opposing those which 1 believewould injure them or are unworthyof being urged in their behalf.

Respectfuly yours,THOMAS J. SCULLY.

FOR SEN. SILZERAnnual Outing of the Dem-

ocracy an Enthusiastic Unitfor County's Favorite Son.

The forty-throe delegates from thiscounty will go to the convention solid-ly for the nomination of SenatorGeorge S. Silzer for Governor. Thatmuch, if it was not certain before,•was demonstrated Tuesday in an un-mistakable manner at the annual out-ing of the Middlesex Democracy.

From the time the Senator boardedthe Glen at Perth Amboy until theparty arrived at New Hrunswlck, theday was merely one continuous ova-tion to the popular legislative. Therewas nothing to it but Governor Silzer.

The outing was the most successfuland enjoyable ever held by the Demo-crats. There were nearly a thousandof the faithful aboard the steamerwhen she left Perth Amboy at eleveno'clock.' It was about ten o'clock when thelocal delegation about 75 strong leftthe City Hall and marched to thePennsylvania Steamboat Dock pre-ceeded by Kerr's Band, which hadbeen secured for the occasion byMayor Scully.

Headed by Counsellor John A. Coan,Michael Welsh and Freeholder A. T.Kerr, they made a fine .showing asthey marched across Broadway to thesteamer. They were joined at thedock by Mayor Scully and shortlyafter the steamer "Glen" hove Insight bearing about 400 enthusiasticl>emys picked up at the county seat

• and Sayreville. Another stop wasmade at Perth Amboy, where about150 headed by Mayor Boschweillcr,marched aboard. After a stop atChrome, where Mayor Hermann andparty came aboard, no more stopswore made until the destination wasreached.

Most of the leading lights of thedemocratic party in Middlesex wereaboard. Of course some prominentfaces were conspicuous by their ab-sonce—some men's business will notallow them to get away on any lay—but they wero few and far between.Potltlons worn circulated for the nom-ination at the primaries of MayorBollschwollcr of Perth Amboy, LawyerII. I). Cook of Now Brunswick, for tlioAssembly; and the organization candi-dates 'for Members of the Assembly.,All received muny signatures.

POLD HOLD-UPf NEAR SEIDLERS: \JI Two masked men held up an auto-j mobile party near Seidier's Beach on| the road between South Amboy andj Keyport about midnight Saturday'night and secured .$12. The party wasI going toward the shore. After the| robbers got all the money they could' find in the party they disappearedinto the bushes by the side of the road.The auto party proceeded.

j Further down the road the partymet Willis Fisher of Sayrovllle, who

i was riding toward South Amboy. Theyj told Mr. Fisher of the hold up. They| said that the robbers swung a red| lantern in front of them as ther ap-j preached. When they stopped they[covered the party with a revolverJ and demanded money.] Fisher was on his guard as he ap-j proached the spot. As he drew nearhe too saw the red light. Beingwarned, however, he only put on themore speed and escaped the bnnil.

Upon reaching this city the matterwas reported to the police. An inves-igation Is being made, but there Islittle hope of catching the highway-men.

The party which was robbed of $12[did not leave any names. .

MAYOR REPLIES TOUNFAIR CRITIC!SI

Perth A in boy News Correspondent Pro-pounds u List of Questions and Incident-ally Mis-states a Few Facts—MayorScully Resents Attitude of the "Knockers"

SEPTEMBERPETTIT JURY

Mr. hMftor:In issue of the Perth Amboy News

under date of 24th, inst., our mutualfriend, the loeal correspondent forthat paper, asks the following ques-tions, viz:

1.—H'jw much money lias been ex-pended in counsel fees and courtcharges in connection with the "Hole-In-tlie-Wall" case?

Answer.—Thin IMIHP had been Inlitigation several years prior to thewriter being elected to olllce. 1 am,therefore, not prepared to utnte theamount "I1 money expended In thntdirection without first consulting thecity books for several years back.

Z.—How much money expended Inrepairing the city dock?

Answer.—Thirty-three hundred dol-lars, which has already been publish-ed In thii Perth Amboy News and thoCllizen.

8.—How much money expended Inthe changing the interior of city hall.Will It Involve a large sum of money?

Answer.—Amount thus far expendedIH one hundred and thirty-Sour dollars.It will not require any large sum tomake tho necessary alterations.

4.—Why not float the sewer bondsat i'A or i% per cent, rather thandiscount notes at 6 per cent?

Answer.—The bond market is atlow ebb, making it Impossible to lloatthem at rate of Interest regulated byan ordinance or as authorized by thelegal voters. We are not paying 6per cent on the money bor -owed fromour local bank to pay for the sewernow In process of construction. Therate fit interest Is 5 per cent, which Iunderstand to be the lowest rate everpaid by us for moneys borrowed onnotes/ Had we not raised the neces-sary money in this manner, we couldnot.^have proceeded with the work.Will enlighten you further on this im-portant matter In a few days.

5.—Will this administration be aneconomical one?

Answer.—Positively yes. One of the

best. ever. To substantiate this, com-pare.your tax bill for 1910, -which willsoon be handed you, with that ofprevious years. Public sentiment—that tremendous engine for good orvvil—is largely moulded by the news-papers, If It, sees and hears but oneside of a question, It naturally getsa one-sided view. No newspaper at-tack should be left unanswered, JS'omistaken notion should be allowedtake root in public mind.

If we ask to be fairly treated, to bgiven as much space, an the otherfollow had, and submit our facts in tilogical and dignified way, nine timesout of ton, wo will get the recognitioniind the opportunity we ask for. Wemay even be alile to domonslnito thatn man can be engaged in politicswithout becoming a menace' to thecommunity or something with whichtu frighten naughty children.

It in the tendency of the times that,jour citizens should recognize and hnr-j monlsic with each other; that pettyJealousies should be forgotten andnarrow methods r<>plao«d with broaderones. The man who refuses to acceptthe trend of things, who falls to udoptmodern systems, new machinery nndimproved ideas, will fight a losingbattle.

The possibilities of what our citymay accomplish are enormous, butas no chain Is stronger than its weak-est link, so upon each individual reststhe responsibility for the advance-ment of the city of which he Is a part.

The Indifferent citizen does the citya double wrong when he neglects toboost* ... • -^

Would it not be bette" to show thewarm, generous heart, the gay spirits,the quick sympathy, the sweet court-esy, which would always rather say akind thing than an unkind one, and

Remember, that we don't know howmuch we have to know in order toknow how little we know. "Boost,don't knock."

Yours truly,Thomas J. Scully, Mayor.

old military spirit that for centuriesgave first plate to the strongest andbravest respect for brute strength hasdwindled. SluTiiiiin had brains, andIhe pre-eminence of brains uver mus-cle i* fully recognized in the twentieth

lnry. Knt lie possessed a certainkind of pluck thai no oilier boy In theschool displayed. lie was the only boythere who was earning ills own edu-cation.

The day after tho light Tom lilakesaw llussell Sherman coining across(he campus toward him, but hSbcrmnuwhen lie reached n fork In the cementwalk turned aside, going in (motherdirection, l'.luke saw plainly that theboy be Inid fought fur shrunk fromluneiing him. At first he didn't like(his Mellon on llui part of his protege.He thiiuglit Hint (Sherman should havecome up to lilm frankly and Ihnnkcdhim fur stiimlinK by liini no fur us totight for him. Hut Itlnke was n think-ing sort of a boy, nnd it occurred loillm Unit If die tnblcs wore turned, ifHome boy bigger and stronger than hehail fought for him, how would hefeel toward that oilier boy? lie couldnot <|ullo pul him.sclf in Midi u posi-tion, for lie lind good strength for hisngo mill was not fearful. Neverthe-less be could excuse Shermnu on thoground Hint lie lind needed protectionfrom II blcger boy, had Kocured It nndwould naturally feel doiuenned by ac-ccpllng it.

Willie went on lo lilsrooinnnd,glauc-ing at Ills Kludy tnlile, snw somethingon It, Knl. nnd roiiud, wrapped in wliltopnper. Taking off Ihe cover, he cameto some oil paper, which coutnlnedsomething soft. Itemovlng this wrap-per, he uncovered u pie.

"By Jove!" he exclaimed. "I won-<ler how that en me here."

lie ate half the i>lo, then bethoughthimself who hail left it there. Nu-merous inquiries failed to elicit thedonor. l ie racked Ills brains to dis-cover what friend he lind that wouldthus favor him, but could not thinkof any one. One person occurred tohim as the possible giver—that wasI'usscll Sheriunn. But the pie hadbeen tied up with a very narrow bluesilk ribbon Instead of a string, tlmends boiug tied in a bow. Blake knewthat no boy would ever tie up any-thing with a bow. No; some of hisaunts, sisters or cousins must havesent It to him.

He thought that when he met Sher-man again he would say something tomake him feel easier about illstion. He found au opportunity oneday when coming out of recitation.

"Hello, Russell!" he said,"Hello, Blake!" was the reply."Going to win the valedictory?""I don't know.""I hope you will."''Why?"

"Oh, I think you're a pretty good sortof a fellow!"

"I don't believe you respect memuch."

"Yes, I $o. Why do you tbink 1don't?"

"Oh, I don't flgbt my own battles!""You would with boys of your size."I haven't had a chance before this

to thank you for that flght you badwith Potter. It wns mighty good ofyou."

Blake felt Russell's hand feeling forhis and suw a pair of grateful eyesturned upon him. Thinking the affairwas getting mawkish, be made pre-tense of wishing to catch up with another boy and ran away. When hewent to his room to prepare for supper he saw another gift on his tableThis time It was a cntte.

Again Blake questioned the maidsnnd others In tbe house, but no oue

could, or, rather, would, tell him whohad left the gift.

WheD Thomas Morgan of Kentuckymade up liis mind that the war of '01was coming on be concluded to takebis slaves into the hoart of the south.where he considered that they wouldbo safer than iu a border state. Theyconsisted of it man, liis wife and twochildren, a boy and a girl, lie hadreached Bowling Green, where lie wasobliged to wait for a train for Nash-ville, and was lounging with Ills hu-man chattels in tbo station when aman stepped up lo him and began tochat with him. ringing in questionsabout wheru bu was going and whatlie was going to do with the negroes.Having leu mod tlie facts, tho strangerski-d If be would like to sell them,organ said ho would prefer Hint toic trouble uf taking tiieni south.The stranger wont away, but soon

elurned wllli several men and said:"Wo dou't Illto to see tho niggers

:ol«(f sonlli; \v<; wiiut 'em bore. Theseentlemen mid I would Ilko to buyour slaves, but no otto of us hasnougb money to buy 'em nil, and•o're against ll'.J principle of separat-

ng families. What do you say toidling us chips to the amount ot youirirlco for 'em? Then we'll play II;amo ot poker, and tho man that even,unlly gels all tbo chips baa Iho nig-;ers."

Morgan, who was anxious to turnla negroes Into cash, consented, nudtio party adjourned to n hotel nearho station to carry out the plan,t'wenty-four hundred dollm's was o ° u ' ' ' i [ AMBOV,ijjrecd upon as the value of the prop,rty. The owner, inucli pleased to bitbio to get so high a price—for th»

coming slruggle bud lowered tintmarket value of negroes—agreed totake a sbnr« of the chips and ente;rhe game with the rest. As they wentirranglng themselves arouud the la-ile a gentleman wearing a white era- Joubmat stepped up and remonstrated '•2H

against tbe sin of gambling. Wheu itwas explained lo him that tlie objectof tbo party was to keep a family ofnegroes from being separated lie re-gretted that he knew notuiug abouttbe game or, clergyman that he was, hewould take a share and a hand.

"Oh, come in!" said one ot the party.We'll show you how lt'B done, andon will soon get used to It."AJI begged the clergyman to JOID

hem, and finally be agreed that sincehe object of the game was a noble onelime would be no sin In taking a

share, allowing some one else to playbig band, but they wished that hewould do that himself, and, dragginghim down Into a seat, they put thecards In his bands.

For awhile the numerous questionsasked by tbe clergyman about the val-ua of the cards or the rules of thegame delayed the play.

Nothing but an occasional case ofblind luck prevented his being frosenout. Several times when bis pile otchips was reduced to a minimum b*held the winning band in a large potand nayed himself. On this account,while one by one the other player*dropped out oC the game, the dominiekept his place. Morgan also kept arespectable pile before him, and -whenall but be and the clergyman bad beenfrozen out It began to look as If hewould still own the negroes and the$2,400 besides. In case this turned outto be so be could not even be preventedfrom selling them separately.

"It all depends upon you, parson,"Siild one of the party.

Gentlemen," said the clergyman,"I protest ngnlnst the fate of thesepoor negroes being left iu my bands.One of you play for me."

But Morgan protested, and the cleri-cal gentleman was obliged to play hisown hand. Despite the blunders homade he held hands that enabled himto keep oven. Morgan, seeing that hisadversary was having a run of luck,ceased to bet till that run seemed tohave ended, then made several appar-ent bluffs with the view of gettingconsiderable money lu tho pot and tak-ing It. Singularly enough, every timeho tried this expedient tho clergyman'shand laid over his own.

When several of these bauds hadboon played $2,000 of the $2,400 wasbefore tbo clergyman. Sforgau beganto look concerned. It seemed singularto him Unit a man who nt tho begin-ning of thu gumo didn't know the valueof tho curds should have reinnltiod Inthe game nnd lioltl more than fouv-flfUis of tbo whole sum Invested, liecast sovoral flcrutliihilug glances nt bisadversary's fact!, but It showed tioth-Ing other than pluly nnil liunevolonco.

Woman.Woman, the gentlest of all creatures,

Is apt to become masterful and eventyrannical, this because she is a crea^ture in whose composition emotiondominates, and emotion when highlystimulated becomes passion, and pas-sion spurns all reasonable limitationand becomes tyrannical.

HIS CHOCOLATEGIRL

By B. CRITTENDON LYTLE.

Copyright, 1910. by American PressAssociation.

nsteur Conjure^'

"That is.the most singular thing i•ver saw. Cun I believe my eyes?There is 'The Chocolate Girl," the pic-ture 1 bare seen a hundred times, car-rying the iray with a put of chocolateand cups and saucers on it. It lit in-stead of standing still, as 'iny respect-able figure in a picture should do undas all picture figures did until the inventiOE of the viatiscope. slie is walk-ing across the floor. There! Sue hasput her tray on u table, turned andwalked deliberately out of the room.

"Am 1 in a moving picture show?1 am not. 1 am in bed. a strange, bed.a strange room—everything strange.There is a picture on the wail, a pic-ture of a man stealing upon a doer toshoot him. I'll watch to see if the manmoves. No; he doesn't, lie continuesto croucl) with bis thumb on tbe ham-mer of his gun. his forefinger ou thetrigger. The deer Is nipping the grass.

rlmra if lie gets the man's wind he'lltoss his head and be off toward coverover in that wood. No; the deer stillnibbles, and [lie man still keeps watch-ing him. They are making me tired.I wish one or the other would showsigns of life, or, rather. I wish thechocolate pirl would come back.

1 wonder how I came to Lie In thisroom. 1 believe I'll get up and goout and tlnd out about It."

1 tried lo rise, but fell buck on mypillow.

"There must he something wrongabout me. II seems that the chimes offifty cathedrals are ringing at once IIImy head. If one would ring at n time1 fancy the sound would be very mu-sical. 1 fiee colors, too. as if (he lightwere broken by a prism.

"Here comes the chocolate girl."She cninc In softly, advanced to the

bed, looked down nt me, placed herhnnd on iny forehead—oh. how softand cool It felt!—then walked away.

"Now that slie Is nearer or there'smore light or I can see her better, orsomething. 1 presume that she wearsa white dress, a white apron with abib and straps over lier shoulders. Herenp isn't exactly like the picture afternil. 1 wonder If It Is really chocolateIn the pitcher. Those things on thetray are not ttic llttlo cups and saucersof the picture at all. There are one cupand saucer, a covered dish, a plate, aknife and fork."

"Come here," I said to the chocolategirl.

She turned quickly, as if surprised,and came to the bed, looking at me crit-ically.

"What I wish to know is whether ornot you are the chocolate girl."

She put her hand on my foreheadagain soothingly, but made no reply.Indeed, the question didn't seem to sur-prise her very much.

"Because If you are the chocolategirl I want to say to you that I haveloved you for years In the picture nndnow you have stepped out of It andinto the flesh I shall love you tbesame."

The door opened and a man with abald head and mutton chop whiskers,came In. The girl turned to meet him,and they conversed in low tones. Iheard her say, "He is still delirious."He stayed but a few moments, thenwent away.

"So I am delirious! That's all non-sense. I'm ill or have been. And thisperson whom I nt first mistook for tbegirl In the picture Is my nurse. I'mglad I told her what 1 did before Irealized the conditions. When a manis ill and is ministered to by a prettywoman he's bound to fall In love withher. I wonder if it wouldn't be a goodscheme to go on making love to heras tho chocolate girl. It doesn't scareher a bit. whereas If I were to giveher the real thing <t might spoil thegame. She's pretty enough to kiss.Delirious I might try it on; In mysenses It would bo a very differentmatter. I shall continue in delirium."

This was the beginning of my con-valescence. I talked to my nurse, call-ing her my chocolate girl, sweetheart,dear love—everything a mnn might ap-ply to his ladylove. Slie suspectednothing, HO she gave me free rein. Icould sec (lint this being called endear-ing names by a young man even indelirium was pleasant to her.

A couple of weeks passed In thisway, when the doctor called one mornlug and, coming up to my bod, felt mypulse, mm mod his thermometer intomy mouth, took it out, looked at Itand said:

"This is the strangest case I everlienrd of. This man's pulse nnd tem-perature aro both normnl, and yet youBay he la Btlll delirious."

1 burst Into n liuigb.The doctor looked Bomewhat sur-

prised, while tho nurse blushed a rosyred.

"Doctor," I said, "you'ro right. Ivol;o up this morning feeling all right,recognized Hint I'm In a hospital andIn nil roHpccts except ono have comoto tny senses."

"That ono?" asked (he doctor,"Is none of your business. All you

lit •"<) to do la to give tne a dlschargo.'THJS the doctor Old and withdrew,"Now," I unld lo my nurse, "I'll tol!

you tho one respect In which 1 urn Btllldelirious. I HtIII love my chocolategirl."

An AmiDuring a little pedestrian trip a gen-

tleman came unexpectedly t upon >country race course and on pvie por>iion of tlie ground found a llii/ublerigestablishment in full work. .Vttwith-slunding the remonstrance < f liis com-panion, tlie gentk'iJKiu, who was a )>itof a madi-ap, insisted on WII'I hing thegame.

"Now, would (lie gent like to wagera crown be could tind tbe pea?" re-marked tbe expert.

"Yes," was the reply.The money was mi both sides depos-

ited, and the pedestrian, lifting tip thehiinble, pointed <JUI tbe required pea

and took the stakes.A second lief, "<]otilil« or quits," end-

ed, to the surprise of the expert, ill thesame result.

Then a third wager, "a pound ornothing," steadied (lie nerves of theloser, and the trick was accomplishedwith great caution. Tlie gentlemanlifted up I be thimble and Klimved thepea. at the same lime pocketing thestakes.

"S'help inc." etc.. "I didn't put ithere!" exclaimed the licwildered art-Mt.

"No, but 1 always cany m.V own[tea," rejoined the imin who had come[jut right an be went mi hi.s way withbe spoils of war.- London Tit-Hlls.

In Modern Egypt.Douglas Slodcn's book on Hgypt

contains some curious anecdotes. Forimtance: "My doctor was railed lo see

an Kgyptiiin who WIIH in a very lowstate. 'What Is (In- innllerV lie asked.I titlnk II, In only depression. 1 have

been a fool anil lust n law e.'ltfc. Iwould not liac ksliccsh the other man 'snwyer, ami he backsliecKhed mine.'Later oil when niiulliiT Kgyplhui told•ny friend that be lunl won a law ensemy friend said, '1 suppose you bnck-

enlied the oilier man 's lawyer?"The Kjf.vpllan giive a beautiful smlloami said, 'How dhl ymi k n o w ? ' "

And again: "1 was at Luxor whenthey were recruiting fur lli<> army, Ifa young mini was foinul lo lie phys-ically (it his relalhiuH were plunged Ingrief. rrofcssional mourners werehired to Ri|iiat outxldu I he police s t a -Ion where the recruiting took place,

yelling and weeping, If, on the otherhand, be was rejected as undersizedor • weakling or diluted will) a Iwilh-SOIIIG disease, his relations and friendsflew to him rejoicing and kissed himand hung on his neck."

"Goea" of Whisky.Forty "goes" of whisky had been

consumed liy tlie licensed vlelualer,and Btlll he wasi sober—at least so hetold the city coroner. "Goes" Is a common term In this connection, hut Itlacks the full appropriateness to thesituation of Its Scottish equivalent Inthe story of another big drink told byDean Ramsay. It was at a party nearArbroath, held to celebrate the recon-ciliation of two farmers who had longbeen enemies. When the party at lastbroke up, at a morning hour, the pe-nurious lady of the house, who had notbeen able to sleep a wink for anxiety,called over the stairs to the servant:

"How many bottles of whisky havethey used, Betty?"

"I dlnna ken, mem," was the answer,"but they've drniielten six gang o' water."

To the poor girl, who had to "gang"to the well for the qualifying fluid,these were "goes" indeed.—LondonChronicle.

Expert Figuring.A well known actor tells a story ofne'er-do-well In a little New Eng-

land town where he has often spenthis summers. "I was walking downthe main street one day," said he,"when I saw old Silas grinning fromear to ear. 1 hardly thought that h»was that glad to see me. So afterspeaking to him I snid; 'Why the smilethat won't come off, Silas? What hashappened to make you so happy thismorning?' 'I've been a-glttln' marriedthis mornln',' was the unexpected re-ply. 'Harried! You?1 1 exclaimed.'Why, Silas, what on earth have youdone that for? You know you can'teven support yourself as it is.' 'Waal,1

said Silas, 'you see, It's this wny: Iken purty near support myself, an' Ikind of figured out that she could fin-ish up the job.' "—Argonaut.

A Sensible Person.An old Scottish lady during her laot

Illness was assiduously attended bya physician, to whom she invariablygave a guinon when he enme to seeher. He told the friends with whomshe lived that her death would probn-bly he very sudden, and one dny whenshe seemed to tiqve become iineonscions the doctor wns linslily sont for.Ou his arrival he found that his pa-tient had ceased to exist, and, takinghold of her right hand, which wasclosed, but not rigid, ho calmlyI meted from it the customary fee, re-marking as he did no to Hie attendantfrlemlH.

Cousinly KissesBy MURIEL E. GRAY

Copyright, tyio. by American PressAssociation.

"I'm looking." said an elderly ladjn glasses and a couple of short curlsn either side of ber face, "for a stu-

dent of tbe name of Smith."She was in one of the college dortrji-

ories and h:id with her two reryiretty girls, her daughters. She \v;sspeaking to u young man ivr.o emergedrom a dour into ihe corridor and wasbout to descend the staircase."My name is Smith. There are sev-

ral Smiths In college. Which one are•ou looking for?"

"Edward B. Smiili""I'm Edward B. Smith. Vou can't

"Vour Aunt Elizabeth.""You dnn't menu It: And these girls

ire"—"Your cousins, Bess and Ethel.""Well, well! I'm delighted."The young mini pui his nrni'i around

he uld lady's Miouklurs In n :u;iKe em-brace and kissed her back betweeni hem. Then hf kissed Kllid —on Hie•heck. LiiHtly he kissed Hess—ou IlieI|»S.

"When did you come <ln\vu. AuntCMziibelli''" nsked Hit' Million!."We reai'lii'il liere tills mornhiK.

"IU'HH >iiid 1 wore playmates, I be-low."Al tlio leiiii'inbniiice he gave HOBH

11 not her kins."Oh, uo; you weren't," mild the old

iid.v. "YOU spent hut one Rummer withis, mid that Kiiuiincr liewt was obliged

to no Houth wit Ii her Uncle Ohiirles'rninlly for her hciiltli. You've neversei'ii her before."

"Nei'er seen her before! Well, If thiss I he Orel lime 1 hope It won't tje thelast."

And lie UISKIMI her ncnln.At that moment the real ICdward It.

Snilth came aloug. Seeing tils chuuiO'ardner Dale clintlluc with an oldtidy and two pretty sirls, he lookedwistfully at I lie latter. Dale excusedhimself for a moment and w e n loSmith and whispered:

"These are your aunt and cousins.I've passed myself oO for you. If yougive me away I'll murder you."

Then, leading Smith up tu tbe Indies,he said:

"This Is my chum Gardner Dule. Hewill be very glad to assist me In showIng you the college sights and makingyour stay pleasant."

"Delighted," said the false Dale, pull-ing off his cap.

"StDilh is a very good fellow," Daleannounced lo the party, then in astage whisper tu the annt. "lie leadshis class aud Is altogether the mostprominent man in college."

"See here. Hard—1 roenn Ned—youstop I bat. You can't bribe me thatwny. What 1 do 1 do in pure mercy."

"What is he talking about, EdwardV"nsked the old lady.

"Ob. he's got modesty on the brain.Besides, be studies so hard be doesn'tknow what he's talking about."

Tbe young men walked about withthe old lady and the two girls, takingthem into Hie different buildings andshowing them the sights generally.There was to be a "prom" in the even-ing, and the students invited the girlsto attend it with them. They askedthe old lady to go. too. but she obligedthem by declining.

"I've always beard." said Bess toDale—tbe real Dale—who had pairedoff with ber at the "prom." "that stu-dents are so full of pranks. Do youpractice them much at your college?"

'Pranks! Oh. uo! We have to studyso hard here that we have no time forpranks. What kind of pranks do youmean '!"

"•Well, I heard of a case ouce wheresome ladies went to a college to meeta relative they had never seen. Oneof the students palmed uimBelf off forthe one they had come to visit."

"That couldu't have been nt this col-lege. A ninD who would do thnt herowould' get the dead cut."

The girls enjoyed themselves duringthe evening und on returning to theirhotel bill goodby to tbe two young menwho had escorted them. After bolngduly thanked und when the youngmen wee about to withdraw Dalestepped forward, kissed Ethel on thecheek aud gave Bess a prolongedsmack on the lips. Snilth stood looklug on. much disgruntled.

"Where do I come In?" he naked ina tone that much disturbed thoequanimity of bis cliuin lest he shouldgive him away.

"Oh. you'll come in on the wayhome. I shall have something "Ice foiyou."

"No. you won't," prowled Smith. "don't sell my birthright for a meet opottage. Hoe here, girls; lhl» fellowDnlti linn been putting »'P <> J"'' 0 D

Eluding the Officers.Here Is a t amusing description of

ce of Balzac's periods of lmpecunio*-ty. Mery, the pcot. a great friend oflalzae, was an inveterate gamblernd rarely left the card table beforeajtireak. His way lay past the Cafee Parle, and for four consecutiveornings he had met Balzac strolling

eisurely up and down dressed in a(Rntalon a pieds (trousers not terml-wting below tbe ankle, but with feetn them like stockings) and frock coatith velvet facings. The second morn-

ng Mery felt surprised at tbe coinci-lence; the third he was puzzled; the'ourth he could hold out no longer andleked Bfllzr.i* the reason of these noc-urn."l perambulations roundabout tu*>anm spot.Balzac pnt his hand in l.ls pocket

ind produced an almanac showing tbathe sun did not rise before 3:50. "I amlelng tracked by the officers of therltmnal de commerce aud obliged tolide. myself during (he day, but at thislour I am free and can take a walk,or us long us the sun Is not up they•annot arrest me."

The Illusion of Night.MomotlmcH fancy that every great

city must-.have been built by night.At lenst It Is only at night .Unit everypart <if n greut city Is great. All archi-ecture in great architecture after sun-

set. Perhaps architecture Is renlly aocturnal art, like the art of fireworks.

At least I think many people of thosenobler trades (hut wurk by night (jour-nalists, policemen, burglars, codec stallkeepers and such mistaken enthusiastsas refuse to go home till morning)must often have stood admiring somelnck bulk of building with a crown of

battlements or a crest of spires andhen burst Into tears at daybreak to

discover that it was only a haberdash-T's shop with hugegold letters acrosshe face of it.—G.' A. Chesterton In

been subject to taxation, but have evenbeen made the subject of special laws.Thus In Henry VII.'s reign none wasallowed to sell hats at n larger pricethan 20 pence or caps for more than2s. Sd.

Snubbing a Snot).Jasmin, the Gascon poet and barber,

once treated a rlcli suob to tlie snub-bing be deserved. Jasmin had beenreciting bis poems for t lie beueflt ofthe poor and had afterward been es-corted in triumphal procession, to hishotel. Next morning while lie was stillIn bed some one knocked at the door,and a rulgar nabob filtered and in-stalled himself without invitation in aibair.

"My dear Jasmin," said lie patron-izingly, "I am a banker, a millionaire,as you know. I wish you to sliave mewith your own hum]. Please set towork at once, for I am pressed fortime. You can aslc what you liUe foryour trouble."

"Pardon me, sir," said Jasmin, withpride. "I shave for pay at Lomeonly."

"What do you say?""It is true, sir. I sliave for pay only

at home.""Come, come! You are jesting. I

cannot be put oft*. Make your chargewhat you like, but sliave me."

"Again I say, sir, it Is impossible.""How impossible? Isn't It your

trade?""It is, but at tliis moment I am not

disposed to exorcise II."In spite of renewed briboa and en-

treaties Jasmin remained firm, and tilemillionaire went away uuslmved.

Cricket Fighting.Cricket fighting, a national sport in

tbc Celestial Kiiifjiioiu. is odd to see.Crickets are (ruined. They are exer-cised and dieted, and dully, before amatch, smaller, weaker crickets are op-posed to them that they may work outfor themselves good iiylitin^ systems.In matches the beltliif? is very high.The Chinese, who are tremendous gam-.blers, often lose fortunes ovor crickets,Jis American millionaires lose fortuneajovcr race horses. A good cricket IlKht(will last half an hour. The opposingcrickets, each in a lube like u box stall,are dropped into a rlnn with a wallaround It about six inches high. Acombatant to win must throw Ills rl-yal over this wall clean out of the ring.Tiny bells are rung by the seconds.These bells have a peculiar timbre andexcite the crickets to a very frenzy offighting. A cricket with a good recordwill sell for $5 or $10. while champions

. often fetch $50.—New Orleans Times-Democrat.

A Gentle Hint.A lady who suffered from a neigh-

bor's fowls that overran and spoiledher garden politely asked her neighborseveral times to keep his pets athome, but no attention was paid toher grievance. Fiunly she hit upon anIngenious method of protecting her-self. She prepared grains of corn bytying to them witu a strong threadsmall carda bearing the words, "Pleasekeep your chickens at home," and dis-tributed the grains about her flowerbeds. The chickens came to feast asusual and greedily swallowed the corn,not ^receiving the thread until the•qua was against their beaks. Then{hty could neither svallow the cardnor rid themselves of the »wal)o~edcorn. Twenty or thirty of the maraud-er* ran borne, bearing the polite re-quest to their culpable owner, who,•truck with the method of the hint,promptly cut the threads and coopedtip bis fowls.—Bombay Times.

Drinktri' Logic."Men drink," said a temperance lee

turer,. "because they are happy, be-cause they are sad, because they a ntoo warm, because they are too cold.Is there any logic in that?

"When I see men drinking I think ofa llttlo boy at the seashore.

"This little boy, at play with hisbucket and shovel In the snnd, Buddenly rnu to the edge of nu advancingwave and, scooping up n handful ofsalt water and foam, drank It greedlly.

A Put Up JobBy SADIE OLCOTT

Copyright, 1330, by American PressAssociation

"I understand. Wilkius," said Jones.' that Thompson is engaged to Mis*Watrlss."

"Funny, Isn't it? The idea of a manlawyer marrying a wointia lawyer."

So it is. How would they behaveon opposite sides of ihe same case?"

"I'd like to try thorn. By Ihe bye,Thompson lias my case against yourcompany, Suppose you put your castsIn ihe hands of Miss Watrlss."

"I'll do it."When Mr. Thompson came into court

and saw big fiancee lined against himhe knit his brows. But she gave hima sweet smile, na much as to say,"Isn't It nice for you and me to trya case on opposite sides?"

Thompson recovered himself, return-ed the smile and declared that It wouldbe delightful. As the attorney for tnoplaintiff he opened the case.

Now, Mr. Thompson was an able at-torney. In the first place, lie enteredheart nnd soul Info every enso lie con-ducted nnd had ihe rcpulatlou amonghis professional nKsoiMntra of gettingmore out of his witnesses to injure tlieopposite s)(lo and iriore out of theirwitnesses to help lib own side thanany man at tho bar. In <lie presentcase lie coaxed tils witnesses, helpingthem by lending questions so that thoywere n lower of strength for his case.Miss Wntrlss, seclns the advantage howns gninliiR, bernme resilve. Sho be-gan to object to nearly every question.Hut the JUIIKO did not sustain her ob-jections, and this Irritated her. Thoconsequence was that when her owuwitnesses took Hie stand sho was In avery bad humor.

By this time the attorney for thoplnintlff hnd become absorbed in hiscase to the exclusion of every otherconsideration. The first witness calledfor the defense was a mild Kentlcmnn,who was never sure about nnytliing.

"Do you remember," sneered the at-torney, "what you ate for breakfastthis morning?"

"I object!" shouted Miss VVatrisa.springing to her feet.

The objection was sustained.Mr. Thompson then showed the wit-

ness a paper nnd asked him if hewrote It

"It looks like my handwriting," wasthe reply, "and that seems to be mysignature, but 1 couldn't swear to It."

"How old nre you?""Sixty.""Do you consider yourself In your

second childhood?""I object!" again shouted Miss Wa-

triss, this time with redhot cheeks."Your honor," said Mr. Thompson,

with exasperating coolness, "perhapsthe attorney for tbs defendant wouldlike to conduct my case for me. Iwould prefer to have her do so ratherthan prevent my proring that her wit-ness Is either incompetent from loss ofmemory or Is withholding evidence."

Mr. Thompson by this time had far-gotten that he had a fiancee and thatfiancee was bis opposing counsel. Per-haps force of habit got the better ofhim. Miss Watrlss gare htm an angryglance, but made DO reply. Mr.Thompson either did not notice hercholer or was used to exciting thewrats of his opponents. Indeed, thiswas a faTorite method with him.

Having browbeaten a dozen wit-nesses for the defense until they werenot sure of anything except what bewished them to be sure of, Mr. Thomp-son summed np the case as one of themoat arrant swindles against his clientthat had over been perpetrated upon along suffering person. Mlsa Watrlss,who knew that his client was a rascalwho was trying to ruin her own client,could scarcely contain herself throughanger. Mr. Thompson's artful methodof distorting facts, his smooth butcutting Irony, were llko rubbing a Dloon a rheumatic member. Mlaa Watriss1

condition was not improved, either, bythe loss of he.r case and costs for hermuch Injured defendant. When thoylo/t the courtroom Mr. Thompson,who had suddenly dropped tho attor-ney aud returned to tlie condition oflover, joined his tlanceo nnd said:

"Sweetheurt, I congratulate you onhaving done splendidly!"

"Don't Bweetheart mo!""Why, my dear, you don't tneau to

tmy that you hnvo been affected layour feelings toward mo by this lnwsuit?"

"I have been BO far affected that Iwish you to consider our ongHBomotitat nti end!"

"Great henvous! What is the mean-ing of this? Wo Inwyers—tlint Is, menlawyers, no matter how wo hnvo wrunBled over it case—always leave thecourtroom frlutids,"

"I will hnvo nothing further to dowith it ninn who would tront a poorold gunilvnuui IIH you did tuy principalwltuefls, nnil, IIH for your references toma, tliey woru Inliuimui Insults!"

Shortly after Unit Miss WatrlBS ntcolvuil ii cull from llio two tnua whohud "put up the Jnli" mi her iiml herlover.

Tbe warm weather Is very conduciveto headaches.

With regard lo tin's most lm]iorl;iutmiller, most people ivlio suffer with

sick headache are really sutTerin;;'rom liver r t taeks. Meal. fish, soup;ti)ck, all become quickly lainled at

this season, and tainted food is likelyto be tho oniiKi; of illness at any lime>f year.

The ivomaii who cares for Ihe healthif the family will see thai she duesnot use vt'ill, pork or tinned goods IDany extent, and of euiirsi: the lastmentioned must not In; kept after (lielin has once been opened.

It Is important to reduce Ihe amountif meat and sliirchy foods during this.ve:illier. Tin; niMhi fund inn of Ihespis ID supply bodily heal, HO MM lessheal, is necessary now Ihe style ofliving should he changed. Take (lie

THE WHOLE ORCHESTRA.

Man Not Even the Second Fiddle NorDrummer.

Professor Emit Reich In his work on"Wonian Through All the Ages" deli-cately Insinuates that In American lifeshe is "the whole orchestra." He says:

"These women—the American maidand wife—are fundamentally differentfrom their sisters In Europe, whetherin the past or present. Far from tab-ing the slightest Interest In man, theylook down upon him. Man in Americaplays neither first nor second addle.He does not even beat the drum. He isthe mere lamplighter of the orchestraof life in the United States.

"Nothing Is more common In theStates than to be asked by one of their'bright* women: 'How do you do this orthnt thing? What trick have you fordoing It?' In their minds, in their In-nermost minds, they are firmly cou-vlneed that • • * all the great artistshave tuelr 'tricks' with which theywork upon tho audience, lu nativeelemental talent they do not believe atall. How could they? They havethemselves not the trace of such talent.

There are over 12,000,000 pianos InAmerican houses, used mostly bywomen, yet tUere is not a single Amer-lciiii planlsto of even the third order.There nre thousands of schools forAmerican women, yet there Is not asingle American woman of note as ascholar.

I calmly state that the Americanwouiim is not nud cannot be anythinglike the typo of womanhood that, fromthe Hellenes downward, all Europeannations have considered us tho rightmodel. Women, then, In America can-not develop and hnvo never developedthat peculiar charm of either henutyor grace thnt in Ktirope hns nhvaysbeen hold to be tho greutest power ofwomen,

"Come, pet; let's go out in the gardenand see how your rosebush is gettingalong."

Morton Jenkins spoke those wordso his little daughter, seven years old.f ever a man worshiped anything mor-al Jenkins worshiped this child. The

place on which the family lived con-sisted of ample grounds, and, Mrs.Jenkins having a natural taste forflowers, there were many beautiful va-rieties about the bouse. The. daughter,Jracle, tiad inherited her mother's

taste, and her lather the clay beforehad planted for her a rosebush of avery choice variety.

It was a beautiful summer morningwhen the two went out to where therosebush had been planted. Ihe child

rattling wlrfi expectation."Will It have any roses on It, papa?""Oil, no, my darling. It was plant-

ed only yesterday. Possibly we mayfind It a trlllo wilted, but that will notmatter. A little water sprinkled on Itwill bring it up. We'll go get the wa-tering pot— Hello!"

The exclamation was caused by BCC-ng a hole where llm rosebush bad

stood, with loose earth scattered about.Tho father's brow gathered ominou.sly.

If I can find'out who did that I'll—Don't cry. pet. 'L'hcru are moro whorothut enme from. Some one has takenthe butfh up by tho roots. What anoutrage!"

lie took his darling In Ills arms andkissed nvvny her team. At the samomoment lie, HIIW or thought ho sawsome one dodging behind tlio glass otit-bouse thnt covered the plantn In win-ter. Going there, ho confronted u Htllourchin about tho size of his own child.Tho boy was ragged, unkempt, andhungry looking. In IIIH dirty hand hograsped the missing rosebush.

"You young .rascal!" cried .Jenkinsfiercely. "What do you nioiin by tear-Ing up my plants?" ,

"I wanted It for somotbln'.""I suppose you did wnut It or you

wouldn't have taken It. There. Takethat." He cuffed the boy. "Now getalong1, and if 1 cateh you stealing myplants again I'll turn you over to thopolice." The boy was slinking awaywhen Grade said to her father, "Papa,don't you think that since he's beenstruck for taking the bush ho ought tohave it?"

"Certainly not Ke would gladlytako a cuffing tor each plant we haveon the place."

"Give him the bush, papa.""Sweetheart," said the father, "It's

your bush. If you prefer to give it tohim do so."

Tbe child picked up the rosebush theboy had thrown down and handed Itto him.

"Do you live down In the rookery?"she asked.

"Yes.""The part w tier* the funeral wta

yesterday?'"Tea.""Was It your mamma they carried

out?""Tea.""Did you want the rosebush to phut

st her grave?""Tei."Jenkins stood listening to this Itcoa-

1c dialogue, looking from his child tothe boy who had robbed her of herrosebush. When the last "Yea" wasapoken, remembering the cuff be badglren the thief, a blush of shamespread over his features. Taking uphis idol, he hid bis face so far as hemcould cover It and rained kisses on hercheeks. Then, still holding her In hisarms, he said:

"Ask htm what else he wishes be-sides tbe bush."

"1 know, papa.""What?""That is, I know what I'd like to do

for him. I'd like to tako him and thebush to tho cemetery in my pony cartand help him plant it near his mother'sgrave."

"That you ahull do, sweetheart. ButJames must go with you."

She rnu to the stable to tell Jamegto get out the cart, and while she wasgone tho fnth»r said to the boy:

"Hereafter when you wish anythingfrom my place come and nsk mo forIt and you'll get It. Never tako any-thing without first asking, and If youreally need It you'll usually find someway to get it without stealing- It."

Ho drew from big pocket souio sliverand gave it to the boy, and boforo tlioday was ended ho had visited tho deso-lnto nnd squalid home, provided forthe wants of tho motherless childrenand arranged for their moro pcrniaiiontcomfort nt his own expense.

Meanwhile Ornclo had taken the boyInto her curt mill under Hid care of thecoachman had driven him to the coinu-tery. Jmnus dug the hole In which toput tho plant, nnd Gt'iiclo nut It In withlior own hands, while thu bny ntuud by,wondering wlinl, nil this Interest, lljiiklmliicHH, nii.Minl.

An Awful Rebuks.Once upon a time a certain commu-

nity planned to give a dinner to aJudge tbere. When the judge came toscan the list of those Invited he raisedvigorous protest uir;il:;p>t one name,that of a man who bad been the mostbrilliant lawyer in tov\n. but who wasnow the town drunkard. They finallyovercame bis opposition, but the towndrunkard had beard of it. He was thelast speaker called upon. He aroseand said: "Mr. Toustmaster—Fifteenyears ago I had a practice In this townthat amounted to $1'J,000 a year. Ihad a wife and family whom I sup-ported in comfort. I hail my ownhorse and carriage. At that lime theguest of the evening was on his waynest in an emigrant wagon. He land-ed in this town and started in to mtikehis living. Since (lieu. Mr. Toustmas-ter," he cried, with a pathetic break inhis voice—"since that time I have beengoing steadily down, down, down, andour guest has been going up, up, up,until now we are just about on alevel."

"WARNING AKD ADVICEDon't you think it quite jolly, we can

now go by trolleyAcross the big river to far famed

Perth Am boy.We can there buy our meat, where

they don't rob and cheatAnd the trade of our merchants we

soon will destroy.

Thus by actions confessing, whatmight prove a blessing

Unto all of the people of botb theAmboys; •

Brings a curse on our town, our mer--.., 'chants turn down,

Thus proving the maxim: effect fol-lows cause.

If our people once found, those prin-ciples sound.

And their duty of trading at homeplainly saw.

Then trade would expand, supply anddemand

Would become self-adjusting ac-cording to law.

Then contentment and peace, wouldever increase,

If all in their own town would takea just pride,

Then for our own pleasure, withnickels and leisure

Across the big water we can takeour Joy ride.

From cause and effect, we can alwaysdetect

There can be no effect without afirst cause.

Then open your eyes, to the grandenterprise

Of advancing your City throughnatural laws.

Let us all buy at home, o'er the riverdon't roam.

Encourage our merchants to buybetter goods,

Show by sound information, and goodeducation,

That we live in a city and not in thewoods.

These principles grand, now I hopewill expand,

Political economy let us all studyhard.

Then when you're alert, to ride overto Perth,

Remember the warning pf theSecond street bard.
