TOWNSHIP OFFICERS.
.TWO NEW CONSTABLES AND A
NEW OVERSEER OF THE POOR.
Albert L. 3/cQueen Elected Over-
• seer of the Poor ana Elwoad.Btinugh
aria James P. Brvee Elected
Vonstables-A Small Vote Cast.
The election in Shrewsbury township
yesterday WBB a very quiet one and not
much interest was taken in the election
^except by the candidates and their im-
« mediate friends. The Republican ticket
, was elected, the majorities of the candidates
on that ticket varying from 364 to
885. ' . , ' =
The Republican and Democratic par--
' ties had nominated the same ticket with
the exception of overseer of the poor
and constables, A. Holmes Borden bad
been nominated by the Republicans ad
a candidate for justice of the peace, but
he had declined to run and no one could
be found to fill the vaqancy. The'committee
on vacancies offered the nomination
to several Republicans, bat all of
them declined, and this office had to be
left blank. Charles H. Borden and Edmund
T. Woolley. bad been nominated
by the Democrats., Mr. Woolley is a
Republican and he was on both tickets,
but the failure to find anyone to take A.
Holmes Borden's place resulted -in
Charles H. Borden's election without
opposition. He was the only Democrat
who was elected yesterday in Shrewsbury
township.
- The great feature of the election in
Shrewsbury township was the large vote
received by Albert L. McQueen in the
West Red Bank district. This is Mr.
McQueen's home. Mr. McQueen is the
first nominee from that district for any
townBhip office of any importance, and
tbe whole district turned out to Bhow
what they could do when they had a
man of their own in the fight. Over 250
votes were polled in that district,
although it is the smallest district in the
township, and more votes were cast
there than in any other district except
in the western or town hall district. Mr.
McQueen gob 280 votes in his district
wtiilei AtndaiS. Borden,who wasrunning
against* him, got only 33, or less than one
out of ten. Mr. Borden had been overseer
of tbe poor for the past four years,
and it was thought tbat ho wae a very
strong candidate; but he carried only
one district in the township, that being
tbe southern district, in which the Macedonia
vote is located. He parried this
district by 8 majority, and he lost the
eastern district, which is the Democratic
stronghold of the township; by exactly
the same majority.
; The Republican candidates for constable
were El wood Minugh of Red Bank
and James P. Bruce of Oceanic. The
Democratic candidaies were J. Frank
Pattersrin of Red Bank and W. Nelson
Little of Fair Haven, Mr. Patterson is
night marshal at Red Bank and he got
the votes of a great many of the business
men of the town on thnt account. Elwood
Minugh is a new man in .politics.
He is a young man, and one of the most
popular men in the township. He is
employed by the state bottlers' association
and a position as constable would
be of advantage to him in bis work. It
was reported that he was running in the
interest of J. B. Rue, ond that he intended
to turn the office over to him.
No man can turn an elective office over
io another, but the story gained considerable
credence. Mr. Minugh, as
' soon a's he heard of the story, declared
that there was not a word of truth in it,
I but the story cost him a great many
votes. He was crossed off of a great
many tickets by Republicans who had
heard the story and who would vote
against anything that would tend to put
Rue in office; and tin's cut Mr. Minugh's
vote down a great deal, but he still had
a big majority. ••/ .
W. Nelson Littlo had a large number
' of Republican supporters, but he was
the lowest man among nil the candidates
for countable Republicans from tho
custom district had declared that Mr.
Little would boat Mr. Bruce ut least 200
in that district; but although the eastern
district io Democratic by about 75
majority, Mr. Littlo got only 20 majority
thoro. Mr, Bruco nnd Mr. Minugh
curried all the election districts in
tho township, oxcopt tho oastcrn dlstrlot.

Do You Smoke a Pipe?
If so, what kind of tobacco do you use ?
Have you for years been using Somebody's
"mixture" or a chemically flavored tobaccco
under another name ?
, A man who had been using such tobacco was
given a pipeful of Cullington's cigar clippings
and was asked to tell what kind of tobacco it
was. After he had taken a few puzzled puffs
he ventured the opinion that it was "mighty
good tobacco." He liked the tobacco but
thought it must bean expensive tobacco, too
high in price for him and he was then told that
it was Cullington's Clippings and that he could
get a large box of it for ten cents.

and raping Tools.
For years and years and years our store has been known as a reliable place to
buy reliable farm and garden seeds; We try to get the very best seeds—the
seeds of greatest vitality, the seeds truest to name, the seeds of the best strains
of stock. Year after year and year after year the same old patrons return to us
for their seeds. Every year new customers come to our store for their seeds,
and these new customers, almost without.exception, remain with us year after
year and year after year, until they become old patrons. These customers stay
with us because they have learned that our seeds are the best that money can
buy anywhere, or that growers can raise anywhere. They know that it costs as
much to prepare the ground and to fertilize the soil for a half crop as for a whole
crop; and they know that to get a good crop the seeds must be of the best. If
you do not buy your seeds here, isn't it time fbr|rou to join the great procession
of satisfied people who do? , I / •
We keep all sorts of farm and garden tools. In our stock are South Bend
Plows, Wiard Plows, Boss Plows, Planet Jr. Cultivators and Drills, Iron Age

Private Ownership of Lakes.
(Prom the Newark News.)
The gradual Bequest rat ion. througl
private ownership of the many.ema!
fakes scattered through the counties 01
Sussex, Warren and Morris, resulting it
the. exclusion of the public, has led t(
the" introduction of a bill in the legisla
ture designed to preserve to the peoplf
' some of the privileges which they hav<
long enjoyed unchallenged. The bill
drawn by Judge Huston of Sussex and
introduced by Assemblyman Roe of that
county, provides for the appointment ol
three county lalie and park commission'
ers by the justice of the supreme- cour
in any county, who shall have power to
acquire and iniike available to the public
rights of flshiug common to all in fresh
water lakes, and to condemn landB for
parks adjoining not exceeding ten-acres
in extent. Authority is. alflo given the
con)nu6sioner8 to connect such lakes by
a suitable driveway and condemn land
for this purpose. The members of th
board are to serve without compensation.
It may be noted that from the
synopsis of the bill given in the reports
of legislative proceedings it does not
seem to be the intention to extinguish
the private title to. the lakes, but simply
to acquire and make available to the
public rights of fishing.
This is well, so far as it goes, and wil
help to allay the feeling that wealth is
given too great license in depriving the"
masses of privileges and pleasures which,
from their verynatur-, should be common
to all. But there is another side to
the question which is even more important.
T^hese lakes are the natural reservoirs
which, from time' to' time, are
tapped to furnish public water«supply.
Every year they increase in importance
and value as the large cities go farther
and farther afield to secure abundant
supplies of pure- water. Many o£ them
have already become the property of private
corporations, and it is only a question
of time when all will have thus
passed under corporate control, unless
the state shall take measures to preserve
- them for public use. These lakes should
. be the property of the state, held as a
sacred'trust for the benefit of the public

Another Week of Bargain Giving!
Our Annual Muslin Wear Sale will be continued for another week, when we expect to excel
the heavy business done last week in this department, if our prices and high grade muslinwear
can be made to do it. Every garment found in our stock has been carefully selected from samples
shown by the largest and best manufacturers, and we bought the best styles only from" each maker.
Every piece is made with felled seams, sizes cut full and shapely, no starchy muslins or cambrics,
but all soft finished, that will be the same after washing as before, consequently every purchase
proves satisfactory, whatever the price paid. ,
You no doubt ask yourself why we sell so cheap? Because it is customary to hold muslinwear
sales at this time of the year. We are determined at all costs to maintain our leadership and'
increase our fame as genuine bargain givers. r

i OVID TUZENBU AND JAMES
STEEN AGAIN DEFEATED.
The Supreme. Court Sustains the
night of the Bed Bank and Middletoum
Turnpike Company to
' Collect Toll-Ait Appeal Probable.
Ovid Tuzeneu of Headden's Corner
and his counsel, Jatttes Steen of Eatontown,
received another setback in court
last week. For two or three years past
they have been trying to knock out the
charter of the Red Bank and Middletown
turnpike. Mr. Tuzepeu's counsel is
James Steen, and while Mr. Tuzeneu and
Sir. Steen have succeeded in showing a
number of technical defects in the charter
or franchise of, the turnpike company,
they have not sp far succeeded in
doing anything more than to temporarily
embarrass tbe company.
The turnpike company was incorporated
in 1836 and in 1889 it was sold for
debt by the sheriff. At the sale the
turnpike -waV bought by William W.
Conover, Jr., Henry O. "Taylor, Charles
E. flonover, Charles H. Morford, John
West, John 8. Hendrickson and- James
H. Peters. After the sale tbe purchasers
paid off all the former debtB of tbe company
and they reorganized under a new
name and continued tlje turnpike. This
riew organization was bdntinued for ten
years, the company meanwhile carrying
out' all the provisions Jof the Jaw as to
keeping the road in order, malting reports
to the Btate officials, etc.
A little over two years ago Ovid
Tuzeneu set out determinedly to knock,
out the turnpike •company and to prevent
it from collecting toll. The people
who lived along the turnpike were,
growing restive.under the collection of
toll. They had had to pay toll for more
than a quarter of.a century, while at
the same time they had had to pay road
taxes in order that people living in other
parts of .Middletown township might
have free roads. They welcomed any
action looking to the abolition of toll-

photographs can be transferred direct to

in first preparing the face of the
envelopes with chemicals, and then
printing the picture in the usual photographic,

envelopes during the past fortnight,
most of them being pictures of ice boat

One fine morning'Orid;,Tuzeneu put
his ax in bis wagoniand started for Red
Bank. On the.'.way he had to paBS
through the toll gate between Headden's
Corner and Cooper's bridge. He had
previously refused to pay.toll and when
the gate keeper saw him coming be
closed the toll gate. When Mr. Tuzeneu
reached the toll gate he pulled up his
horse, jumped out of the wagon, grabbed
his ax and chopped down the toll gate.
He was arrested for this, but the case
against him was never tried.
The chopping down of the toll gate
encouraged others in refusing to pay
toll, and for a time practically i|o toll at
all was 1 collected. Legal proceedings
had been begun against the turnpike
company and the courts have decided
that a turnpike franchise could not be
transferred at a sherifl's sale. Before
the court of errors and appeals had decided
the question as to whether or not
toll could be collected on the Middletown
turnpike the road was transferred
,back to the original company, which
under the law still retained the franchise.
When the court of errors and
appeals decided that the new turnpike
company had no right to collect toll the
original oompany wasyin possession 6f
the turnpike, with ample power under
its charter to maintain toll gatex. The
owners of the stock in the new company
nnd in the original company were tbe
same individuals, BO that the transfer of
the turnpike from ono company to tho
other did not affect the property rights
of any individual.
Then a suit was begun against the
oiiginul turnpike company^ which had
thus come in possession of the turnpike
property. Mr. Steen bnaod his suit on
the ground that the original company, by
tho transfer of the turnpike to tho new
company at th? sherirt's n'nlo, had abandoned
the turnpike nnd that tho franchise
or power to colleot toll had there 1
appeals. ' Many lawyers' are of the
opinion that the'dfecifiion of the supreme
court is sound law and sound common
seDse, and tbafc-tb§ court of errors and
appeals, if the" case should be carried to
that court, will decid^ the case the same
way. \
The people of Middletown township,
especially those who have to use the
turnpike, are very desirous that the
road shall be made free.,'.'As soon as
the Tuzeneu suit is definitely decided in
the courts, it is the intention tpf the
people who use the road to carry the
matter before the board of freeholders,
and to demand that the road be bought
by the county and converted into a free
road. .
The stockholders in the turnpike company
say that they realize that the day
of toll roads has gone by in New Jersey.
They say they are willing to sell the
turnpike at a reasonable figure, but
they think that for the public to take
the road without any compensation at
all, after they have spent/thousands of
dollars on it, would be neither just nor
legal. The stockholders of the turnpike
company, rind the people who use the
turnpike, would rather see the county
get the road than to see it abandoned
and placed in possession of Middletown
township; for they think that under
county supervision they would get a
stone road, or at all events, get a better
road than if it were under the control of
the township authorities.

A LOSS OP OVER 88,000.
Jjona Branch "Firemen Help to Save
,« Property at Eatontotvn. •
Bloonifleld D. Wolcott's house at Eatontown
was burned down last Wednesday,
causing a loss, of over $2,000. The
fire is supposed to have started from the
.chimney. The Wolcott house is in a
row of several houses about thirty feet
distant frota each other. t Professor Stephen
i Higginson's house and Charles
Bceese's house adjoin the Wolcott house
and they were slightly damaged.
Kobert Carpenter first saw the fire and
the fl.ameswere then breaking through
the roof. The fire had started in the
attic and when first* seen had probably
been burning half an hour. .The Eaton-
town fire company turned out, and seeing
that there was no hope of sayingthe
Wolcott house, they directed their efforts
toward saving tbe contents of the house
and toward keeping the fire from spreading
to adjoining houses. Robert Carpenter
got on the roof of Mr. Breese's
house, and with a liberal use of water
he kept that house from catching fire.
Fell on a Hot Stove.
The infant son of Charles H. Layton,
who lives on the Bronson Butler farm
at Marlhoro, was sitting in a high cbair
at a table last week while Mrs. Layton
\ was ironing at the same table. The
\ chair was close to the stove and while
Mrs, Layton's back was turned the child
fell over on the stove. One hand and
one side of the child's face were badly
Hburned. Thechild sufferfterrlbly but
it will recover. This is the second mishap
that has befallen the Layton family
recently. Mr.,Layton was thrown
from a wagon a few weeks ago while
carting marl and he has since been laid
up with a lame back.
Burned to Death.
Mrs. Margaret Levins of Sweetman's
Lane, near . Freehold, was burned to
death about a week ago. .She was 72
• years old and lived alone. A neighbor's
attention was attracted by a bright light'
in the house and on .entering the house
Mrs. Levins was found on the. floor,
badly burned from head to foot. She
died before a doctor could be summoned.
It is supposed that a curtain caught fire
from the lamp and that in trying to put
out the Bre Mrs. Levins's clothes caught
fire.

DIED AWONG STRANGERS.
Blind James Prest Forsaken by
Family and Friends.
James Prest, a blind man who was
well known throughout the county, died
on Saturday a week ago at a house near
Matawan where he had been''taken in
when he became too ill to care for himself.
He was 72 years old and his death'
•was caused by pneumonia.
. Sir. Prest wns at one time in comfortable
circumstances. He bought a farm
at Henninger's mills, in the upper part
of the county, and placed, the title in his
- wife's, name. His wife and three children
ufterward became separated from
.him and they are said to be living in
comparative luxury at Now York. Mis-
fortune overtook Mr. Prest in his old ape
and be lost what little property he had retained
after, his separation from his wifr.
-As age increased his sight began to fail
him and for a good many years he had
been totally blind. He drove about"the
county buying and selling wood, corn
and other articles on which he could
"make a small profit. For several years
•he lived at Lincroft and Stephen Van-
.Winkle of Red Bank went around with
him on his wngon. A few weeks ago
he complained to a citizen of Matawan 1
that he was in need of food^ and clothes.
His wants were supplied and he was
given shelter in the home of a fnmily
named Euhe. He was taken sick there
and died.
Besides a wife and three children lie
leaves a sister at Colt's Neck and a
brother at English'town. They were all
communicated with after he died, but
no response ,waa received from any of
them and Prest received a pauper's burial.
The body was placed in a vault in-
Rose Hill cemetery. A day or so afterward
Mrs. Prest appeared at Matawan,
She ordered the body taken to the Baptist

on the "floor" "in" a stupor. He" put a
blanket over him and went in the barn
an hour later and found him dead. His
death was due to acute alcoholism.
Ballantine had worked for the farmers
near Freehold for many years. Not
much is known of him before he went to
Freehold but he is said to have been born
of good parentage in Ireland and to have
had a good education. So far as known
he had no relatives in this countryBufr
he often claimed that he was related to
Ballantine, the Newark brewer. He
•was 07 years old'.'and unmarried. He
had a good many friends at Freehold

A WIPE WINS A SUIT.
Ur s:\ltl a raaret E. Selover Gets Possenslon
of Property.
The court of errors and appeals has
rendered a decision in the case of Margaret
E. Selover against Francis S. Seloyer
to recover possession of property at
Ocean Grove valued at $10,000.
In 1892 Mr. Selover, with a view of
entering into business, put the property
in his wife's name. About a year or
two ago the husband and wife separated
and she filed a bill to secure possession
of the property under her deed. The decree
of the chancery court was that the
wife was the legal owner, but that the
husband was entitled to an equitable
lien to the extent of $2,000 for improvements
made by him.
Both parties appealed' to the court of
errors and appeals. That court decided
that the property belonged to Mrs. Selover
and that her husband had no right
or interest in it at all.

Races in Which All Sortti of Antntals'are
Participants.
THE BJUBGLAR'ff BIBLE. ;
Vnromanttc Courtships are the
Rule in Germany.
In Bavaria every glvl Is expected to So touch Ingenuity has been expend-
pet married. Ask a Bavarian, and he ed hi devising
will tell you that it Is impossible for a
portionless maiden to find' a husband.
If a girl has no monej> for a dowry,
therefore, ate sets herself at work to
3aveone. .
Marriage In Germany is nearly entirely
a matter of business. The father
of the girl announces the sum which is
to go witU Lei; while the papa of the
prospective husband holds out for
more. That is the first stage of the
negotiations. Little by little each yields
to 'the other. • Finally, often after
mouths of delay, the contract Is drawn
up with minute specifications by a
notary,", and then the lovemaking may
begin.. .The courtship Is very circumscribed
and is probably not altogether
satisfactory, for "the German maiden is
a romantic creature, and the opportunities
she has for getting acquainted
with her husband before marriage are
very meager. '
The parental supervision is so Inbred
in the nation that even the government
takes a hand in It with its servants. A
German*army officer is a splendid creature
to the eye, but his' pay Is very
small, ranging from a matter of $5 a
week, for a lieutenant to $50 a week
for a full fledged general. In order to
prevent the possibility of seediness in
appearance or style of living the government
forbids an officer to marry unless
he deposits a certain sum—it Is
$20,000 for a lieutenant and becomes
gradually less for each higher grade—
with the authorities, the income of
which is doled out to him seniiannually.
This is in reality pjitting, a price on
the man, because the greater number
of German officers are very poor and
can get the money required only from
their brides.'
The money which a wife brings to
her husband, unless there is an express
notarial stipulation to the contrary, becomes
absolutely the husband's property.
Woman in the eye of the law has
practically no rights except such as her
husband may allow her. He treats her
very often as merely a piece of live
stock. If the woman rebels, which she
does very rarely, he displays a very
short temper and an aptness for wielding
a poker or a walking stick in a use
for which they were never meant.
In a German newspaper one may always
find a column devoted to matrimonial
announcements. There is no
romance in these advertisements. . The
man tellaJLow much money he has and
how much he wants. The woman
names her dowry to the very pfennig.
Very often the man has no money at
all and expresses his desire to marry
Into a business,'but the woman knows
that it is useless to advertise at all unless
she has some money, if it amounts
only to $100 or so, which may. be regarded
as the lowest sum -worthy of
consideration as a mltgift.
On the other hand, it is the woman's
privilege to name the calling which she
prefers the man should follow. She
" usually chooses an official clerk or por-
\ter, a policeman or a car conductor, all
• of whom have tenure of office and an
old age pension. She has moro of an
eye to stability than to ambition.
'It is in'tlie so called higher classes of
society that one finds the baldest and
most businesslike matrimonial transactions.
There are few young men of
this class who have either money or
any prospect of making any otherwise
than by a •wealthy marriage. When
they Inherit fortunes. It Is the fashion
to dissipate them, and when they don't
inherit It Is against the prejudices of
their education and training to seek
employment or to engage in any kind
of business.
Therefore most of them enter the army
while waiting for a rich bride.
Daughters of rich brewers and merchants
are acceptable to these gentlemen,
but their' great and persistent
dream is to capture an American heiress.
They confess the matter frankly
to any one and every one who will listen.
Traveling American heiresses are not
so plentiful In Germany as in Franco
and Italy; still, they are to bo found.
It would seem, however, that notwith-
< standing the fact that German titles
are at least n little more valuable than
those of the Latin countries they do
not possess the same glamour In feminine
eyes, because tlio German title
captures the American bnfj of gold
comparatively rarely. Perhaps It ia becauBe

: novel and humorous
races that it grows more difficult every
year to discover a new form of
competition.
An amusing if not ;very elevating
race was Witnessed recently in the department
of Lotl, in the south of
France. The good ladles of a certain
village were invited to compete In a
400 meter race, each wife trundling her
spouse ih a wheelbarrow. The spectacle
was highly exciting and diverting,
for the competitors who realized
that they^had no chance of winning relieved
their disappointment by tipping"
their respective husbands out 1 of the
barrows and leaving them to rub themselves
and bemoan their misplaced confidence.
. . .
There are few prettier and more surprising
races than the ladies' race, or
Luck Stakes, at Mliow, India. The
fair competitors., race to a line of baskets
resting on the ground; and each
one, as she reaches her basket, opens
the lid to see what prize awaits her.
From the three winning baskets spring
up tiny recruit boys, who present pretty
prizes to ,the fortunate winners,
while from the remaining baskets there
emerges a veritable menagerie. From
one a dove soars to the sky; from another
a scared cat bolts, and others release
geese, partridges, hens, dogs and
hares," which scurry away among the
crowd amid a babel of sound. ""
The hurry scurry race, which is a
feature of every Montreal regatta, is
in the highest degree exciting. The
competing canoes are anchored some
distance from the starting point, and
at the crack of the pistol the competi-.
tors dive into' the water, swim to their
canoes and paddle away for the turning
buoy as if for dear life.
Again the pistol cracks, and each
man throws his paddle overboard and
springs in after it, regaining his seat
as quickly as he can. When the pistol
fires again, each man must not only
tumble overboard, but before re-embarking
he must upset his canoe and
right it again, a process which a clever
canoeist will complete within four seconds.
—
Another feature Is to swamp the canoe,
fill it to the gunwale and then
empty it, a minute only being allowed
for the complete process. The man
who, after a dozen of so upsets, reaches
the goal first has amply earned his
prize. •
~-Ono ofthe most amusing of-races" is
very popular in certain departments
In the south of France. The race is.
between boys, each .mounted on a more
or less Intractable pig. With its well
known perversity, a pig will go in any
direction but the one-desired, and the
efforts of the riders to head the steeds
for the goal, the collisions, the grunts
and squeals, form a combination which
is excruciatingly funnj\
Almost equally amusing are the Noah's
ark races which are so popular in
military circles In India. In one very
exciting race at Bombay a goat passed
the tape first and was followed at a
long interval by an elephant, while, to
the amazement of the onlookers, a
horse only just managed to come in
third.
In certain parts of the country barrel
races are in great favor, a number of
men trundling beer barrels along the
streets. 1 There is" usually a special
competition for ladles, who are no whit
Inferior to their male rivals in the skillful
manipulation of the barrels.
At Nogent-sur-Marne not long, ago
therewas a grand international wooden
leg carnival, In which each competitor
must have lost one leg. It was here
that M. Roulin won the "one legged
championship of the world" by cover-
Ing a distance OT 220 yards In the ex.cellent
time ot 30 seconds.
A most amusing race was held some
time ago near Bordeaux. Each competitor
had a dozen bladders attached
to his neck by strings of different
lengths. There was a high wind, and
the course was full of obstacles. The
flying bladders buffeted the runners In
the face and all over the body, they
wound themselves like so many serpents
round their legs and arms, and
generally made things so unpleasant
that before half a uillo had been cov<
ered every competitor had been

when a young man was attorney
for two men charged with stealing.
There had been taken from the men a
well worn Bible, and a small drawer.
On the fly leaf of the Bible was the inscription,
"To My Darling Boy, From

jury returned a verdict of "Not guilty."
After the trial the young men gave
the lawyer $50. -
"Boys," said Mr. Spooner as they
were about to separate, "1 am curious
to know why you (carry that Bible and
the empty drawer/' Then the- senator
listened with astonishment to the history
of his clients.
"We are professional safe blowers
and have been for five years. This Bible
has a double cover and opens like
this" (here the self confessed criminal
pressed a bidden spring in the thick
cover and disclosed a hollow in which'
there lay two steel files and a small
saw), "and this old drawer has a secret
bottom, where we keep our tools."
The future senator confiscated the
Bible and the drawer.
One of the thieves shouted angrily,
"We'll get those things back yet, you
mark my words!"
Several years passed, and then the
incident was brought back to Mr.
Spooner's-recollection In the following
manner: One evening he and his family
attended an entertainment, and no one
was left at the house. When they returned
at a' late hour, they found that
the house had been entered by burglars
and ransacked, but that nothing
apparently was missing,- The next
day's mall brought a letter which read:
Dear Sir—Please excuse the way we came In

outfit, and so wo came bacic after it and found

The Peculiar Red RibbonVofJhe
•'. French Legion of Honor.
The peculiar red ribbon which members
of the Legion of Honor of France
are entitled to wear is to be had in
New York at one establishment, which
is naturally sought out by Americans
honored with this decoration. But
they never have the satisfaction of get-'
ting the ribbon until the firm that has
the" exclusive~ sale' of it'has receive^
official notice that the persons applying
have the right to display It.
: " •
"I know it," said one.of ^eiclerks
the other day to a would be purchaser
of the ribbon. "I know th'atrou are a
member of the legion and have a right
to buy the ribbon, because I read your
name in the paper and know.who you
are. T3ut we have not received official
notification of your appointment and
you have not your diploma. So I could
not sell you any of it. * ,
"We had to make this rule first because
the French government required
It of us when we received the agency,
but we also realize the necessity of it.
AH kinds of persons who have no right
to this ribbon try to get hold of It. All
of them pretend when they find that
we sell it only to persons entitled to
wear It either that they are members
of tho legion' or that they are buying it
on behalf of persons who do belong to
the order. The ribbon Is not like any
other, and we know that if any of this
ribbon is bought hi New York that It
comes from us. For that reason we are
particular to the extent of requiring
documentary proof from every applicant
unless we have received official
nntlflontlnn of lifs rieht.to wear it. 11 '

A TRIANGULAR GAME.
The Reports of the. Three Spotters
' Disgusted the RaUrolad Official,
"Under the old, loosersystem/that
prevailed on most of the Wratljetn and
•western roads," said a voteran passen-,
ger conductor of this city, "the 'spot-
ter' was virtually a necessity, but the-
trouble about him was that he" never
could he relied upon with absolute c'er-
tainty to tell the truth. He Inew his
popularity and prestige with his em-
ployers depended on the number of
'cases' he worked up, and if he couldn't
c{jj$h %> conductor 'knocking down' he
wd$ !; dniy too apt to manufacture a lit-
tle circumstantial evidence and report
the poor fellow anyhow.
"Of course I am speaking of the
average spotter, aud no.doubt there
were plenty of exceptions to the rule,
but that was the great defect of the
system and, incidentally, it reminds me
of .a curious little story. •
""Back In the eighties,^, continued
the veteran, "a tip was one day given
to a well known and very popular con-
ductor on a certain line leading out of
New Orleans that a spotter of consid-
erable note In the north had been put
on his train, with instructions to inves-
tigate him thoroughly.
"This conductor was a big, jovial fel-
low, fond of good clothes, good sport
and good living, and, while there was
no evidence of anything wrong, he had
fallen under- suspicion on general prin-
ciples. The company officials were
persuaded he was living far beyond his
means and inferred that he must be
helping himself to the cash, but all
prior efforts to get a line on him' had
failed ignominlously, and for that rea-
son the expert sleuth had been import-
ed from the north and told to go to the
bottom of the case, If it. took six
months.
"When the conductor himself heard
that a spy bad been put on his trail, he
was highly indignant and also consid-
erably alarmed. He reasoned that the
fellow, would be especially anxious to
sustain 1 his reputation asti thief catch-
er and was.Jn all probability fully pre-
pared to 'fake up' a case in the event
that he discovered no evidence. To
protect himself against such a maneu-
ver he quietly telegraphed to a big de-
tective agency in Chicago and engaged
a first class operative to spot the spot-
ter.
"Both men went on duty at about the
same time, the spotter taking the role
of a commercial traveler who had fre-
quent business up and down the road.
He watched the conductor, the Chicago
detective watched him, and the con-
ductor sized them both up and chuc-
kled in his sleeve.
"Now comes tbe funny part of the
yarn. Tfeejlouble watch, had been in
progress only a few days when a
treacherous brakeman went to the gen-
eral superintendent and told him the
whole story. The superintendent was
a pretty wise person himself, so he said
nothing, but simply engaged an entire-
ly new man and set him watching the
two spies.
. "The triangular game went on for
several weeks; then the conductor was
summoned to headquarters. He car-
ried his detective's report with him and
was staggered when the superintend-
ent showed him two others.
"The original spotter's report exoner-
ated the conductor, the Chicago man's
report agreed exactly with the spot-
ter's, and the last spy asserted flatly
that the two other men had 'stood In'
together, so as to please all hands and
save trouble. Tliat disgusted one road
with spotters, and the superintendent
swore he would never employ another.
The conductor, by the way, retained
his job."

Dread of Drudgery.
Many people fall to get on In the
world because they will not do the
things that are disagreeable to them.
They gladly pick the flowers in their
vocation, but will not touch the weeds
or thorns. They like to do the things
that arc easy and agreeable, but shirk
from the disagreeable or laborious.
They go round the hills of difficulty In-
stead of over them; they leave the en-
emy half conquered, and he is always
coming up to attack them unexpected-
ly from tho rear.
The best way to overcome this dread
of drudgery is to determine resolutely
to do the disagreeable things first.
Take hold of them with vigor, as you
would grasp a nettle if you would
avoid tho sting, and after awhile you
will find what seemed so difficult In
conception is really easy in execution.
The most disagreeable tasks In life,
when viewed in their proper propor-
tions, reveal a poetic and attractive
sldo hitherto undreamed of. Turn on
tho sunlight of good cheer, tho deter-
mination to sco tho bright as well as
tho dark side, and you will flnd some-
thing pleasant in tbo most dreaded
task,'

"Never heerd how I got the best of
ole Simmons, did you?" queried tbe
farmed from the upper part,of the
state, who is visiting- his son. "You
knowed what a skinflint he was?
Worst I ever see or r/fead about.
'Well, you been floppin round a good
bit 'bout ole widderers glttln married
ag"in, so I'll tell you how it was. Sim-
mons held a mortgage on that south
forty. He beat me outen the money
on a sharp dicker, and I been ready
ter put the scalpln knife enter him
ever sence, but I calkerlated, thet I'd
have ter settle or give him the land.
While I was savin up ter clear off the
mor'gage I. got a lntermashing frum
Si Duke that ole Simmons "was payin
'tention ter Hanner Watslng. Si gl'me
the hint and same time toie me he was
lettln on ter be Hanner/s stlddy jest so
as ter devil Simmons.
"When I went ter see the ole skin-
flint 'bout g'ivln me a leetle more time
on the mor'gage, he kinder giggles
round and looks like he'd been stealin
sheep and ast me what the talk was
'bout Si and Hanner. Now, I ain't no
college perfesser, but I see right off
what way the wind was blowin, and I
spun a yarn 'bout It beln common re-
port as.jhow Hanner and SI was goin
ter hitch.
"I thought .ole Simmons would have
a spell, but I braced him up, all the
time a-tellin him thet SI and Hanner
would be a good match. Well, the up-
Bhoot was thet he said ef I'd git Si ter
move to Indianey and stay t^ere 1
could have the mor'gage cleared with-
out payin. a cent. Si was blamed glad
ter go for ?50, and it cleared me 'bout
$1,500; But ole Simmons was so tar-
nel mean In talkin 'bout it thet he got
my mad up, and I sailed in and mar-
ried Hanner myself. Thet's the way
you got yer new mother-in-law, and
ef you ever hear of me bein knocked

He Met HIB Match.
. "Never cross question an Irishman
from tbe old sod," advises one of the
foremost railroad attorneys of the age.
"Even if he does not think of au an-
swer he will stumble into some' bull
that will demoralize the court and ju-
ry, and whenever a witness tickles a
jury his testimony gains vastly in its
influence.
"Yes, I'm speaking from experience.
The only witness who ever made me
throw up my hands and leave the
courtroom was a green. Irishman. A
section hand had been killed by an ex-
press train, and his widow was suing
focdamages. _I_had_a_ good case, - but
made tlie mistake of trying to turn the
main witness inside out.
"la his quaint way he had given a
graphic description of the fatality, oc-
casionally shedding tears and calling
on the saints. Among other things, he
swore positively that the locomotive
whistle was not sounded until after
the whole train had passed over his de-
parted friend. Then I thought I had
him.
'"See here, McGInnls,' said I; 'you
admit that the whistle blew?' •
" 'Yes, sor; It blewed, sor.'
"'NoW, If that whistle sounded in
time to give Michael warning the fact
would be In favor of the company;
wouldn't It?'
" 'Yls, sor, and Mike would be tlstl-
fyln here this day.' The jury giggled.
" 'Never mind that. You were Mike's
friend, and you would like to help his
widow out, but just tell me now what
earthly purpose there could be for the
engineer to blow that whistle after
Mike had been struck?'
" 'I presume thot the whistle wore
for the nixt man on the thrack, sor.*
"I left, and the widow got all she
asked." "
Eating and Colds.
Drinking at meals induces a person
to eat more than he'otherwise would,
and excess in eating Is one of the great
causes for sickness. In fact, the two
great dietary failings seem to be over-
eating and drinking of too little water
at the proper times. Many colds are
from overeating or from eating gross
food.' Persona with abundant • lung
power who exercise a greal deal and
breathe much can dispose of a large
quantity of food, but the more deli-
cate and sedentary should eat moder-
ately. A cold once taken wllifrun its
course In spite of what may be done
for It unless it 1B attended to within
48 hours after Its Inception. Tim treat-
ments vary. The 'cutting off of sup-
plies by skipping a few meals Is one
of the principal tilings, for tho old say-
Ing about Btufliug a cold and Btarvlng
a fever should be literally arnplifled In-
to the condition and conclusion that if
yon stuff a cold you will havo a fever
to starve, Sotno persons nsscri that
any cold, If taken In time, may bo cur-
ed without any medicine whatever by
following the simple precautions of
keeping warm, going without eating
for 24 lioui'H and drinking largely of
Bomo sort of worm ton. Another plan
Is that of drinking cold water freely
and going without eating.'

A Railroad Man's. Prayer.
An old railroad man, having been
converted, was asked to lead in prayer.
The following was the response: "O
Lord, now that I have flagged thee.lift
up my feet from the rough road of life
and plant them safely on the deck of
the train of salvation. Let me use the
safety lamp known as prudence, make
all the couplings in the train with the
strong link of thy love and let my
hand lamp be the Bible, and, heavenly
Pother, keep all switches closed that
lead off the sidings, especially those
with a blind end. O Lord, If it be thy
pleasure, have every semaphore block
along the line show the white line of
hope that I may make the run of life
without stopping. . And, Lord, give us
the Ten Commandments for a sched-
ule, and when I have finished the run
on' schedule time and pulled into the
great dark station j>t death may thou,
th.e Superintendent of, the universe,
say, 'Well done, thou good* ami faithful
servant; com* and sign the pay roll and
receive your cheek for eternal happi-
ness.' "
