Concerning the wages question under
protection the Toledo Blade (Rep. makes
this careful distinction about campaign
promises; "There is nothing moro GER
tain than that the adoption of the free
trade policy in this country would be fol-
lowed by heavy cut in wages all along
the line, among all men working for hire
or salary. No one claimed last year, or,
claims now, that the retention OF the pro-
tectivc system would increase wages
but the claim was made, and truthfully,-
that this cut Of one-third to one-half
would be avoided by II. The event has
proved it true, for though there are labor
troubles now, as there are in England,
the average of wages is kept up, and our
industrial interests are all In a fairly pros
porous condition.

out the different parts OF a coffin and fit
them together with o nicely that would
mako skillful undertaken open bis eyes.
He will spend much time In this work
and turn out beautiful collins considering
the materials with which he has TO work.
He handles the tools with remarkable
skill though he has never had any training
with them. He has number OF collins
stored away of all sizes, and IL Is said that
he has made one to fit himself and has 10

destroyer shall appear.
James Is o remarkable character about
the village and Is the cause OF much
amusement to the young ladies', Of whom
he Is quite fond. He drives fine turn

Look Out For Him.

One or two sharpers are travelling
through the lower part Sof this county
trying to work their scheme OF confidence
and card game upon the unwary farmers
or men Of means, by one or the other
representing himself as nephew of John
l.. Jones, and thereby endeavoring 10
show that they are not strangers In this
locality, and in that way induce the un-
suspecting to listen to his sophistry. We
have heard OF the maneuvers of this ras-
cally scapegracc before. He is no doubt
the same individual who has been plying
them in other localities, notably in New
York city, aud many have been his at
tempts TO practice his dishonest calling
upon good citizens OF this county, aud he
has occasionally succeeded In victimizing
his man. He frequently fails, however,
but never more signally than he did few
days ago when he tried it on our friend
Jonathan Higgins, In Ringoes vicinity.
''Johnty" is too old bird to be caught
with chaff. When asked his name by
Mr.. Higgins he replied, my name Is
Jones; | reside in Burlington. Am q
nephew of John L. Jones, President OF
the Pennington National Bank" This
was enough for "Johnty" who knows
that John L. Jones has no nephew by the
name OF Jones, or any other relative OF
that name, except his own immediate
family. This precious scoundrel on one
occasion victimized Reaville man to the
sum OF fifty dollars, and another, now
deceased, near Allentown, in Clinton
township, to the sum OF two hundred
dollars, and several others whose names
we cannot now recall, and has approached
numerous others who reside in Fleming
ton. Democrat Advertiser.

Aaron Pidcock, residing on Clinton
street, reached his Ssth year the first day
OF last April He paid visit to friends
on the bank of the river near Titusyille,
6miles below here, in his accustomed way,
on the Goth ult. He ate hearty dinner
that day, went to the river and seated
himself alone in a bateau, moved out to
the middle of the stream and passed
through Wells Falls as nicely as he did
In the days of yore. On reaching the vi
cinity OF his friends, he rowed his boat
ashore and walked up the hill like man
OF 40 years.
Mr.. Pidcock says he cannot remember
the time he learned to swim, or even the
first time he went through Wells Falls,
as his father was engaged in running Dur
ham boats on the Delaware river and took
him with him as a matter of course, to be-
come accustomed to the business. Be-
fore he was fully grown up, his father
had two Durham boats, and Mr.. p. took
charge of one of these boats as captain.
He remembers the rendezvous on the
banks of the Delaware, OF the foot of
Coryell street, (now 10 the city OF LAM
bertville), in 1918 and 1914, and the en-
listment of Captain Lambert Hoppock's
Company OF soldiers, which went out in
