Mr. Gibbs opposed the motion, on the
ground that this particular appropriation
is governed by special law, passed ex-
: pressly to govern townships of the size of
Northampton, and to appropriate more
W. uld be illegal, and would open the way
for somebody to upset the entire tax levy.
Joseph H. Gaskill opposed the amend
meDt He claimed that it would be I'M
wise to spend several hundred dollars in
litigation over the tax duplicate, which
would surely ensue If $1,000 were appro-
priated, as he knew gentlemen who would
certiorari the matter. AS to living on
go cents day, it would be no difficulty
to get good officers at the present price,
as he knew men ready at any time to
take the positions.
Captain Barrows had examined all the
laws. and was satisfied that the Township
Committee could appoint the officers and
fix the compensation. He had gwen
written opinion to that effect, the spe-
cial law to the contrary notwithstanding.
PUBLIC opinion had been strong enough
to down the tramp nuisance, and it
should be strong enough to keep it down.

with all this talk about cutting down the
tax duplicate nobody seemed to consider
possibility that the so called special law
might be set aside.
Mr.. Lewis thought Capt. Barrows was
correct in his statement that the commit
tee could act to a certain extent, but it
could not expend money that was not
appropriated by the town meeting.
The sum of 81 900 was voted.
Street lighting was the next subject
for discussion.
A motion to appropriate $500 was
offered.
few arc lights would cost, and was told
that each light would cost 800 per year.
There was the usual fault finding about
poor service, and the question was asked
whether the town was receiving twenty
candle power on the streets.
James L. Jamison said that there are no
lights less than 20 candle power. Some
of them are "a and some 80 candle power.
Richard Slack wanted proviso put in
the motion requiring lights to be of uni
form size all over the town.
This was lost, as it was not thought wise
to compel the electric light company to
remove the lights of extra capacity that
they are in reality giving to the town
ship.
For the poor $1,000 was appropriated;
$500 ofwhich is for immediate use.
The other appropriations were physi
clans, $500; salaries and rents. So,
printing, $500.
The dog tax was fixed at so cents, the
back taxes were ordered to be used for
debt and interest, and it was decided to
hold the next town meeting in the Opera
House, after which the meeting ad-
journed.

HOW TO FORCE BUSINESS.

There is but one way of getting
/ business, and that is by advertis-
ing. No matter what you have
to sell-even if it is an article
that everyone wants-you cannot
expect to do much business with
out letting the people know it.
A merchant may have marked his
stock down to prices that should
compel their sale, and still not be
able to dispose of much of it.
The reason is that buyers are ig-
norant of the fact.
The best possible manner of
forcing business is by newspaper
advertising. A properly worded,
catchy adv. will repay its cost
many times over. If this was not
the case, SO many successful mer-
chants would not spend thousands
of dollars annually in the news
papers.
Take a space in THE News for
several months and give the mat
ter proper attention. You will
never regret having made the in
vestment.
If you do not think you are
competent to prepare an adver-
tisement properly, bring us the
facts and we will give you our as
sistance.
oh they are wise who advertise
In winter, spring and fall
But wiser yet are they, you bet,
Who never let up at all

Rev. George S. Sykes, a member of the
New Jersey Methodist Conference, has
surrendered his parchment and with
drawn from the ministry to escape trial on
charges seriously affecting his own char
acter. Mr. Sykes was suspended for one
year at the last session of the conference
pending an investigation by committee
of his alleged elopement with a we'll
known young lady and former parishion-

Sykes, it is charged, left his wife and fam.
lily and accompanied the young woman

of their escapade and returned home.
The report of the investigation committee,
it is stated, would have resulted in the ex-
pulslon of the minister had he not been
allowed to withdraw.

THE VIKING AGE.

1t was long the belief that the
fierce and hardy Northmen---
progenitors OF the English
speaking race---who overran
Britain and North Germany
and France, just as the Roman
Empire was going to pieces,
were little better than wild bar
barians.
Hostile or prejudiced histori-
ans set such ideas ahoat, care
less or ignorant writer's copied
them until almost every reader
thought Of the Vikings and
their leaders as savage creatures
whose supreme delight was in
butchery and rapine.
1t was left for Mr.. Paul B.
Du Chaillu to set the matter
right. In a work of surprising
amplitude and research---2 vols.

The showed that our North
men ancestors were as pre-emi-
nent in the arts of peace as in
the science of war.
All that mounds and cairns
could tell, as well as the testi-
mony Of the Sagas and Eddas,
were drawn upon for the early
history manners and customs Of
