The Brightest Gift.

One day, when the studies were over,
the schoolmaster took from his desk an
odd-looking box with pictures of birds
painted upon It, He called the boys to
his desk and told them that he had
brought each one of them little
present. Then, while they stood around,
he drew out of it some white and pink
shells and some pretty toys, which he
gave to them with kind and pleasant
words.
But the most lovely thing of all was
little statue of an angel. She stood with
her small white hands folded over her
breast, and her face uplifted, and ap-
peared SO fair and so pure that the
children gazed at her with eyes full of
joy. They had never. seen anything like
it. "This little angel is too lovely to be
gwen to any child who is not gooi and
true of heart. But the one who brings
me tomorrow the brightest thing on
earth shall have the angel for his own. p"
The children looked at each other, not
feeling sure that they understood the
master But he said no more, and
they went home.
The next day, after the lessons were
finished, the children gathered around
the master to show him what they had
brought. Some had picked up sparkling
stones by the roadside; one had polished
a small piece of silver until it shone like
a mirror; another had brought watch
crystal which his father had given him;
and Henry, the merchants son, had
brought breastpin, with stone set in its
centre that shone like diamond.
''Ah, mine is the brightest cried
Henry.
But where is little Carl?" asked Master
Lewis, looking around. eve cannot
decide until Carl brings his offering"
At that moment little Carl, the bakers
only son came running into the room.
In his hands, held up lovingly against
his neck, was a snow white dove. Some
red drops upon its downy breast showed
that it had been hurt.
90 MASTER cried Carl, Il was looking
for something bright when | came upon
this poor dove. Some cruel boys were
throwing stones at it, and caught it up
quickly and ran here. O, am afraid it
will diel'
Even as he spoke the dove closed its
soft eyes; it nestled closer to Carls neck,
dropped its little head and diedl'
Carl sank upon his knees beside the
masters desk, and from his eyes there
fell upon the doves broken wing two
tears, large and bright.
The master took the dead bird from
his hands and laid it tenderly upon his
desk. Then, turning to the school-boys,
he said . My children, there is no
brighter thing on earth than a tender,
plying tear"
'.Give the white angel to little Carll'
cried the boys. We know now what
you meant; and his offering is better
than any of ours" ANON.

That Harrison Street Accident

The recent accident at the Har-
rison street crossing wherein a
horse attached to grocery wagon
was killed and the driver thrown
a hundred feet furnishes good
ground for an argument in favor
of gates for that crossing; it should
also impress the many young men
who are employed on delivery
wagons in Passaic with the import
ance of keeping sharp lookout
when approaching crossings. 1t is
hard to understand why the driver
of Mr.. Kings horse failed to see
or hear the approaching train.

An Active Board of Trade.

The Board of Trade of Sing
Sing, N. Y, has just issued 10000
copies of a pamphlet entitled
Sing Sing as 1t Is wherein is
given a brief history of the village
together with a complete descrip-
ton of its churches, schools, halls,
banks, waterworks, light, hos
pitfalls and charitable homes, village
government and business indus
tries of every description. The
following in reference to " Its
Ne70sbabers we commend to Pas
saic's new Board of Trade:
"Not alone to the natural resour-
ces or the indomitable energy of
its citizens does Sing Sing owe it's
growth and condition. In a large
degree its newspapers are entit-
led to the credit. It's press :"
1.-THE Republican and Democratic
Register has maintained an un-
ceasing advocacy of it's best in
terests and advantages They
both enjoy large circulations and
give full pages of the current local
news of the village, while the
other pages cover the general news
of the world and interesting mis-
cellany They give more local
news every issue than any other
weekly newspaper published in the
county. The business men fill all
available columns with their busi-
ness advertisements. This fact
serves to demonstrate that Sing
Sing is not retrogressive, but de-
cidedly and eminently progress
i've"
The Sing Sing Board of Trade
had its work done in Sing Sing,
thereby encouraging home indus
tries. When the Citizens Associ-
alton (now Board of Trade) of
Passaic had pamphlets printed the
work was done in New York and
did not benefit the town one cent.
Another commendable feature of
the Sing Sing pamphlet is that it
does not boom any particular bus
mess to the injury of others, or
show real estate signs sixteen times
longer than they are.

How Ridgewood Got Its Name.

About thirty-hve years since
Ridgewood was known as Goodwin
vile. At that time there was an
eruption of New Workers into the
place. The new comers said that
Godwinville savored of profanity
and pretended that they did not
want to take Gods name in vain
when they spoke of the vile,
whereas upon other occasions they
had little antipathy to the most
diabolical exclamations After
drifting around for name they
settled upon Ridgewood; the Erie
Railroad Company had large lot
of wood delivered at Godwinville,
which made ridge as it was piled
up near the depot The new
comers got struck with the wood
pile complaint and settled upon
Ridgewood, and hence the name.

A Brisk Season.

Christmas and New Years have
come and gone, and we think our
merchants have no reason to COM
plain. For many days our business
streets were crowded with people
and our stores had as many GUS
toners as they could accommodate.
Men and women were travelling in
every direction with large bundles,
and from the amount of toys that
were sold by Mr. Jewett, Mr.. NAL
colin and the other dealers we do
not think the little ones were left.

Mills Oh the Wright Act.

In an interview by the San

Mills conce ming the Salt Lake
Convention, that gentleman said {:
1T was brought out very clear
ly that private capital in irrigation
systems Is not SO desirable by any
means as public CAPT al. In pri-
vate systems the water becomes a
perpetual mortgage on the land
One Utah syst-m requires every
land purchaser TO pay SIS IN acre
for water and So al acre rent
every year thereafter. Settlers

L is considerably different from

HE TOOK THE TOWELS.
The Boys Have Some Fun with

Although Mr. Ell. Reynolds ha:
lnn2 been regard d as one OF the
most honest men in the commun
lily, it WAS generelIy reported abou
town yesterday that he had beer
caught taking towels from Shaw
Hot Springs
1t appears that he went out on
Sunday to take bath and also
took bathing suit in a vaiisa.
| After cominl from the bath he
took his val Sc in the saloon few
moments to geL some beer, when
some wags got to the bag and
stuffed six or eight tnwe into it.
Then they came 10 town and post
ell me OF he boys who took
Mrs Reynolds into the conspiracy
and got out d search warrant.
charging that certain stolen prop
erty WAS in the house.
Yesterday morning Jack Fur
log went up with the warrant
and demanded t. ne allowed to
seal ch the premises.
Hate to do it, Ed, but I'm
only performing my duty"
Mrs. Reynolds, who was in the
joo, vowed that NJ man should
search her premises, but her nus
band coo.eG heI down, saying that
noChlug WAS there that ought
not to be there and the law
must he respected.
Finally FurIong got hold Of the

said, as he proceeded to yank out
the towels one by on. "Never

is out on the streets now ne gets
about a bushel of ch Fl on each
block and is around hunting for
the men who put those towels in

about town that while he was
about it he might have taken a
few cakes of soap also and made

The Way to Do 1t.

In an interesting letter by Wells
Drury in the Sacramento News
regarding his visit u Nevada, he
discusses on irritation as fol-
low
Right now the entire State OF
Nevada is being dosed wi h news
paper articles on irrigation, just
the same as I used to dose them
seven years ago, and not a word
has been SAID or written by Frank
Newl tnds. Senator Stewart or Bob
Fulton. The water is there. The
land is there. Everybody knows
that. The next thing is TO C llect
the mon Y for btinging the water
to the land. / came down on the
same train with d. L. Bis, and in
talkipg about irrigation he figured
out that the waters Of Lake Tahoe
yearly running to waste down the
ITuckee River, would more than
suffice t. irrigate the land in the
adjacent valleys, and then the an
null cost would be less than q
dollar an acre. The Humboldt
river, the Carson river. the Owy-
her river and the Colorado river
can all furnish more or less water
to Nevada. I believe the time
will come when they will all be
utilized to their entire capacity,
When that is done the sagebrush
State wi have such an era of
prosperity that the old timers will
be SURPRISED that something Of
the kind vas never attempted be-
fore.
