Peter Noddy comes at night
Down the chimney, so they say
Sews our cyeliis fast aud tight
Till the break of day.
And never yet has anybody

BY the fire to watch for him,
Bat he took me unaware

And before my eyes would view him,
Heiai popped lisneeilr through them.
In his thread moonbcam white,
Stolen from til, sky, wonder?
Or perhaps he tears tho slight
Spid"rwebi asunder,
And from out their glossy shreds,

Shoes Made Of Leather Dust

It may have been noticed that nova.
days very few old shoes and scraps Of
leather are observable lying in our
streets or dust heaps. This is in a great
measure due to the collection of old
scraps of leather which are taken to
mills where they are cut up into fine
dust. To this is added about 10 per
cent. of India rubber, and the whole is
then subjected to pressure of 60, 900
or 100, 900 pounds per square foot. The
substance is then colorcd, and is sold al
prices some 50 per cent. below that of
natural leather. 1t is manifestly n very
poor substitute and it is wholly want
ing in fibre; in fact, if it were not for
the insane craze for cheap articles which
buyers vainly hope to substitute for
those, which, though the original cost
is greater, are yet in the end cheaper,
We Should never hear OF this compound,
which might almost rs we'll be made OF
saw dust as leather dust.

The Ballot Reformers ExpeI Two Mem
bsrs for Supporting Albeit.
There was q lively time at the meeting
of the Standard Single Tax Club. at the
Avenue House, last night. The subject
Of j. II. Abarbanell and J. T..
Altemus for having supported and
worked for the Democratic candidates for
Governor and Senator during the cam
paign, while all the other members OF
the club had voted and worked for the
election Of General Grubb and the fusion
kicker ticket.
Both Mr.. Abarbanell and Mr.. Altemus
were present at the meeting and argued
their side OF the case, claiming from the
outset that they were as much entitled to
their opinions rs the other members Of
the Standard Single Tax Club. From
the start the gentlemen had only two
members in their favor. 1t was claimed
from the outset of the debate that the
accused gentlemen had used the Ballot
Reform Association for partisan purposes;
that General Gruob having come out fiat
footed for the Kane electoral bill, Alte-
mus and Abarbanell should have fallen
into line with the other single taxerS and
worked for the Republican ticket.
At a previous meeting of the Stand
ard Club a resolution had passed de-
%nouncing an article Altemus had written
for the New York Standard upon the
ballot reform movement in New Jersey.
When the meeting opened last night a
motion was made to reconsider this re-
solution. On top of this q member moved
that Mr. Altemus and Mr.. Abarbaneu be
suspended for one year.
1t was found that under the bylaws
such a step could not be taken and that
the Board Of Trustees could only deal
with the matter. Then the motion to re-
consider was discussed and after a long
debate which lasted until midnight the
motion was lost. Mr.. Abarbanell and
Mr.. Altemus claimed that such action
was q direct insult to them and imme.
diately handed in their designations as
members of the Standard Single Tax
Club.
