Old papers are often amusing and some
times very instructive. In the Anertcdn
Da1g AdceYtis6I for May 23d, 1918, there is
an article on "Expedition i'll Travelling.
which is of curious interest in these days
Of forty miles an hour express trains and
of telegraphs. The article boasts that the
Journey between Philadelphia and New
York can be accomplished in about eleven
hours. and that between Philadelphia and
Baltimore in fourteen hours The article
continues "A short time since the fol-
lowing remarkable instance of expedition
occurred. 4 gentleman in Baltimore wish
ing information on a subject, left that city
at five in the afternoon (two hours after
the closing of the Northern mail), arrived
in Philadelphia the next morning i'll time
to receive his instructions and to set off on
his return by noon. He arrived in Balti-
more carly on the following morning,
twenty-four hours before he could have
received an answer by mail. That was
remarkable expedition at the time no
doubt. but this use of the words show how
relative our notions are, even when eX-
pressed in positive terms. That which was
remarkable for expedition in 1918 would be
remarkable for intolcrable tardincss in
1854. To-day the gentleman in Baltimore
could by the use of the telegraph, obtained
his instructions in say thirty minutes; or,
by mail. allowing time for delivery and
delay in answering, i'll less than ten hours.
Finally, if he was compelled to make the
journey in person, he could come to Phila-
delphia by train leaving Baltimore at 3,
reach Philadelphia at 80, devote the
evening to business. and still reach home
before five O'Clock the next morning. The
New York trip of eleven hours i'll 1918 can
easily be done in two i'll 1994.-PhiladeL

DO Y0u Hear That.

A New Orleans paper tells of printer
who, when his fellow workmcn went out
to drink beer, put in the bank the exact
amount he would have spent if he had
gone with them to drink.
He did this for five years.
He then looked up his bank account,
and found that he had laid up five hun
dred and twcnty-one dollars and eighty-six
cents. Think about the afflicted
In five years he had not lost a day be
cause of sickness Three out Of five of his
fcllow-workmen had, in the meantime, be-
come drunkards.
The water-drnkcr then bought out the
printng-office; and III twenty years from
the time he began to put by his money, he
had aside good many thousands of dol
lars. The story teaches lesson which
every little boy should lay to heart. -

On Monday, the people of Roslyn, L. l.,
celebrated the birth of the late William
Cullen Bryant by setting out trees as monu-
ments to his memory. The idea is a capi-
tai one. 1t will bear adoption by every
farmer in the United States. If every
owner of land would plant a tree once a
year, millions Of dollars would be added to
the value Of the country resources. Fifty
years hence, if trees thus planted were per
mittcd to grow. not only would timber be
much more plentiful, but our climate and
SOIL, both of which have been changed for
the worse, would be mcaSurably restored
to their former condition. Plant a tree
not only for every birthday of your own,
but Of your children and wife also, and you
will find it cheaper and more profitable
than life nsurance.-Eeeniag star.

That intemperance is greatly on the i'll
crease, and has been for many years, is
shown by governmental statistics, In forty
years the consumption of liquor has increas-
ed over 800 per cent, while the population
has increased but 223 per cent. The
amount Of liquor consumed per capita of
population in 1910 was .to1r gallons. Now
it is tcelce gollons. an increase HreJ0ld
more ropjd than tint Of the pop4latjoa.
In the last five years the increase has been:
Malt liquors, 60 per cent; spirituous liquors,
Al per cent; population, but II per cent,
an increase again thrcefold greater than
the population. Who can read these start
ling figures without a sense of sut1ocation

We clip the above from the ReaHSJyoge
Record of last week. AS the editor Of that

To, it is fair to presume that the remarks
of A. II. Shape, Esq, are correctly report
ed. What can be the occasion for tins un-
called for and venomous attack on Sheriff
Coles, we are at loss to understand. We
do Mr.. Slape the justice to suppose that by
this time he is heartily ashamed Of himself
for having thus cast an aspersion on tile
record of his brother official. At any rate
the people of Salem county, whose servant
Mr.. Coles has been for thelast three years
seem TO have been well enough satisfied with
him to elect him county clerk by more than
double the majority given any other eandi-
date on the county ticket. If Mr.. Shape
really thinks Sheriff Coles failed to do his
