No matter what we say, if we do not

The life Of good man is a motor that

The love of earthly things is only ex-

A man without good character has only
one thing worth living for, and that is The

It is aspretty sure sign that we have fail

True work in life can only be done by

THE HOUSEHOLD
The Honest Man.
n. W. RAND.

Honor the honest man. Earth rears but few
Only at Gods white forge are such souls wrought
Rare honest man! His mind perchance sees
truth
In different forms from thine, yet honor him.
Perchance his vision thy dim sight transcends,
And what to thee appears sublime and sure
AS the eternal hills, to him is but
bubble in the air. PerChance when thou
Hast found the crystal spring whereof he drinks,
Thou, too, wilt quaff, and bless the light divine.
Honor the man who brooks no evil art,
No sham. counterfeit; whose soul is pure
Within as fair without; who humbly stands
Before the searching gaze of earth and heaven
For what he is; whom angels guard and wait
With eager eye the signal to convey
In safety to the skies; who calm can face
The awful front OF death, but will not break
His piighted troth with truth; ay, honor him,
And thus ennobe thine own struggling soul

Question: How is the outlet kept
open.
Answer: Just let it run; it will
not freeze in the winter.
Question: Suppose rats get in the
tiling till they can't turn around?
Answer: Let them back out.
Secretary Chubbuck: There is a
plan on foot to get state drainage

through another mans land. Some
of the states have such laws.

We have allowed things to go on in
this way until we take it as mat
ter Of course that they must go that
way. We are now pulling through
mud thrown up for US by the road
overseers. Every winter the rains
are carrying away the soil of which
the roads should be made.
1--WE must have competent road
overseers. We should have State
Commission to lay out and super
intend the construction. The State
Commission should utilize penal
labor in construction OF roads and
bridges. County courts should be
allowed to appoint a county road
overseer, civil engineer if possible,
to devote his whole time to the i'm
provement of roads. He should di-
vide the county into road districts,
and the contractor should be paid
only when so many measured miles
of road had been placed in good
condition.

FOOTBALL TALK
No Triple League. Say the Princeton
Prophets.

No Triple League, Say h Princeton
Prophets.
Princeton men, particularly those
prominently connected with football, are
somewhat difident in expressing their
opinions on the present football situation,
especially so regarding the Thanksgiving
Day game for next year. Any positive
expression on that subject would
come with a bad grace from a defeated
team, whose position Is the one in
question. Yet there seems to be a pretty
confident expectation that the game next
year will be played as usual in New York
between Yale and Princeton. There is
nothing in the constitution of the Inter
collegiate Association which Edemands
that that game shall be between the two
leading teams on that date. Within two
years both Yale and Princeton nave con-
sidered the ACCESSIBILITY of playing Rar-
ward, who was out of the Association, on
Thanksgiving Day. and in reaching their
decision were influenced by other
motives than the n in question,
There is also a pretty strong feeling
that the association will remain In its
present shape. The reports which come
from Middletown that Wesleyan will
voluntarily withdraw from the associa-
tion are not given much credence in
princeton. That Cornell will be
admitted to the association this
year seems improbable. A
triple league, between Yale, Harvard
aud Princeton is also an ~improbability,
as is the chance of Harvard's application
for admission to the present association.
Harvard has taken the stand that she
would join no leagues. Princeton hopes
that Harvard will rejoin the association,
aud in default of that, expects to see the
association retain its present shape for
another year at least.

Bergen Improyers Indignant Because

The Bergen Improvement Association
held a meeting at No. 675 Montgomery
street last night with President Ro-
maine in the chair. The
report of the treasurer showed
a balance on hand of $685.. so. The fol-

dent, John H. Hopkins aud +. J. Weiss;
Recording Secretary, William j. Nelson;
Corresponding Secretary, Theodore Fry:
Treasurer, Daniel Van W1nke. Presi-
dent Romano said he would appoint the
Executive Committee later.
There was considerable discussion over
the best manner to cur q sewer in
West Side venue. 1t appeafs that soma
of the property owners are averse to pay
lug the assessment, although the sewer
would prove of inestImable benefit to the
residents on Sip and Duncan venues.
AT the last meeting of the I'm prove-
ment Association Mr.. Campbell offered Il
resolution, which was adopted, appoint
ing q committee to wait upon the men,
bers of the Legislature urging a bill
empowering the city to build sewers
wherever it deemed fit. Presi-
dent Romaine appointed Meagrs.
Campbell. Hamlin and Jones on the COM
mittee. Mr.. Knight said the resolution
was a very dangerous one, as it would
give the city authorities great powers.
Mr.. Jones said the resolution was en-
tirely out OF place and refused to serve on
he committee.
The resolu ton was reconsidered and
killed.
The members then discussed the best
plan OF securing a sewer OH the west side
OF the hill connecting with SIP and
Duncan auenues. Some believed that IL
a majority of the residents OF Sip and
Duncan avenues signed a petition the
residents of West Side ayen ne would be
forced to do SO, too, and said there was
some legislation to that effect. A COM
mittee was ordered to investigate the
status or the law.
