Far Off in the north, where the winter winds
blow
With ferceness they never have here
Where Nature is clothed with perpetual snow
And tho sleighing is good all the year,
Travelled this season without any guide,
Which found was bad thing to do,
For, walking along where dared not to ride.
Why, l stepped in a hole and fell through.

Dangerous English Football.

During the season in which the game of
football is played in England the record of
accidents more or less serious is practically
conslnuous. During the football season of
1csl-s there died through accidents re-
served on the field no fewer than eleven
players, while more than seventy others
received injuries, mostly in the shape Of
acsures' which would entail on them
"esks On suffering and incapacity for work.

Fell through Into what?'' do hear You in
quire?
1t is lucky still live to tell,
For roasted I'd been had there been any fire
Down a chimney it was that fell.
And who owned the chimney you never could
guess,
Nor could find it though far you should
roam:
The place is a secret, but will confess
had dropped into Santa Claus home.
It's needless to say that made great noise
When to mbled down there in heap;
scattered lot of old Santa Claus toys
And awak sned him out of his sleep
He raised up his head and he rubbed his round
eyes,
Then he .gnzed while made low bow,
And you could not manifest greater surprise
Should he come down your chimney now.

sleds;
In the next they were making baseballs;
There were sheep, COWS and horses, with move
able heads.
And toy stables all fitted with stalls:
Balloons and expresses, and cars that will run,
Many puzzles and numberless games,
And things new and queer that would cause
endless fun
But promised I'd not tell their names
Through room and through hallway thus on
ward we passed,
Seeing toys Of all possible sorts
Some made and some making-arriving at last
Where old Santa receives his reports.
His messengers 60 to all parts of the land
To learn what the children desire;
The list OF the good ones he keeps safe at hand;
That of bad ones he throws In the fire.

POLITICS FROM TRENTON.
All Eyes Turned on James Smith,
Jr.-Congressional WOuld-bes.
Speciaz to the Jerseu Citu Ne1ca.

TRENTON, Feb. s, 1692:-All opinions
here agree now that James Smith, Jr.,
is to be the standard bearer of New Jer-
sey Democracy. Fortunately it is not
John Smith, but ''Jim" Smith, selected
because of plain unadulterated Democ-
racy. With James Smith as the magnet
to bring together all branches of the
party Democratic, it Is safe to predict one
of the greatest campaign that New Jersey
has had in twenty-five years. 1t is simply
a question Of whether it will a foul or
five figures to complete b majority.
Just where Adtain, who is called Sena-
tor in winter. Colonel in Summer and
"Mr. Prosecutor" in spring and autumn,
will land in this new deal is doubtful.
He will probably be sidetracked to Con-
gress. Up in his district it is generally
understood that Willard f. Ross, sousof
Miles Ross. is to be the mex Congress
sional nominee. He is, however, a young
man and could afford to wait until Soma :
tor Adrain illu miuates Congress, both
mentally and socially.
In this connection it would be we'll to
say that the Senate this y ear is a regular
nursery for tender plants that sooner or
later hope to bloom in Congress. There is
Senator Gardner, OF Atlantic, whose
chances are very good in the Second Dis
trict; George T. Craumer, of the same
territory, who wishes Gardner would
keep out of the way for at least two years
more; George II. Barker, of Gloucester,
who thinks he could go DR.. w. L. Newell
some figures better and succeed in the
First by the help of B. F. Lee, Allan L.
McDermott and his wi industry; Johns
ton Cornish, of Warren County. who
is slated to succeed Congressman Fowler
OF the Fourth. He is a protege of ex'
Congressman Pidcock, who owns the
district. Senator Michael Barrett Of
Essex is in a fair way to get the honor
whenever DR.. Dunn English is ready tc
resume his literary work. Robert Hud
speth Of Hudson is hopeful that he can
serve the party in some signal way. anc
may be recognized with q f~our-years' triI
to Washington. Senator Maurice Rogers
OF Camden, living in the Republican Ffrs1
District, Is keeping an eye on men ant
things, and he may some day turn all ht
knows to a good recount aud get to b.
Christopher Bergen's successor.

BOWLERS' SOCIAL SESSION
Jersey City A. C.'s Big Five-The
Bicycle Riders.

The bowling team of the Jersey City Y.
M. G. A. has had a successful season
Its stack of honors is a mammoth one
and in this respect it has excelled the ma
jority of the bowling teams ia this city.
1t has rarely suffered a defeat. Its envl,
able record IS due not alone to the XII
displayed by it's enthusiastic young bowl
ers, b~utsequally to the fact that It's games
have been played with teams in its class.
The success has not turned the heads OF
the bowIers. They have not sought con-
tests with crack teams, but
have limited their field to
the teams of the Young Mems
Christian Associations in this vicinity.
They have never hesitated to enter Int o
an engagement with any of the assocl a.
lions, and have convinced all that In
bowling the Jersey City organization Is
the peer of the very best of them. This
is remarkable, for bowling has been one
of the pastimes here for only two seasons +,
while some of the associations have a
membership many times larger than Tn ~
of Jersey City, and with an OF
experienced men to select from.
The last honor was plucked on Satur-
day night when they met the team OF the
Railway Y. NJ. G. A. The game was
bowled on the Jersey City alleys. 1t was
the second and last of the series as the
Jersey City boys defeated the Railways
on their own alleys several days ago. the
two teams did splendid work. The
home talent was only seventeen pins
short of sixteen hundred, and the visitors
reached an average OF Isl. The small
scores were, of course, few. Cornell, for
the home team, was only one pin below
two hundred. Wright contributed thirty
one over the average. Williams, Mabie
and Lindsay also bowled we'll and helped
increase the average. Freeman, Rollin-
son. Berry and Bliss supplied the offset
for the small totals, and Croweil and
Howard were at the average mark. The
Jersey City team took the lead at the
start and held it to the close. They won
by 6S pins. The score:-

THERE WOULD BE A DIFFERENCE.

From the Elizabeth Herald.
Two bold robberies of the United States
mail happening within such a short space
of time, under circumstances precisely
similar, and within a few yards of each
other, point to a very serious mismanage-
ment and very lax discipline on the part
of the Republican officials of the post
office, Such bold acts of robbery, per-
formed so to say under the very eyes Of
those on board the ferryboat, should
never have been possible. and we may
safely say that nae they happened under
a Democratic regime the al of the
q. o. Q. would have been the first to con-
denim the Democracy for a carelessness
that could make such deliberate acts of
robbery not only possible but actually
aaSV.
