LOOKING FOR WORK
Or How to Succeed-A Real Truly
Story Taken From Life.

They both got their diplomas from one
Of the grammar schools last Friday.
Willie had lot of reward Of merit cards
to 90 with his, while Pete had to be salts
fed with Q fictitious one, so his family
need not feel ashamed Of him.
They both wanted to work during the
vacation, or rather Willie wanted
that he would have to, but they took diff
ferent ways of getting their jobs. Willie
after carefully combing his hair Saturday
morning and assuming his brightest and
honestest look walked down street and
made . tour of the down street stores TO
see II any merchant had ladder of fame
with the bottom round vacant. Pete got
his hands on dollar In some way and went
down to Crescent Park, where he smoked
cigarettes, rode on flying horses and did q
great many other enjoyable things, but
In the midst OF his fun he got the right
idea by overhearing a conversation be-
tween Boyden and German. One had
said to the other that they wouldn't have
had such an immense crowd there IL Ii
had not been for their big "ad" in the
Providence NEWS. Now Pete might
have been slow on partial pay
ment and naming the islands
in the Pacific, but he knew a. good thing
when he heard IL, and advertising for a
job suggested itself to him as he was
gulpiuB uoWu Slh6e Ol Ice coiu MIX out
Of the wooden COW.
The next day was Sunday. Willie had
not got job but he didn't allow disap-
pointment to keep him away from Sab
bath School especially as it was his turn
TO pass the contribution box. Pete
played on sick and stayed 40 home to
work up his advertisement. He had q
cents loft from his trip down river, and
he knew he could get his wanted " in
THE NEWS for half cent word. This
was the result OF his afternoons study
of words: "Job wanted by boy who
amt too good, but don't steal nor chew
tobacco Fourteen words, just seven
cents. 1t went in Monday afternoon and
now getting "a per week for sitting In the
window of law Office and answering the
telephone, and asked for his first weeks
pay in advance to spend on the Fourth.
Willie Is still looking for the vacant round.

THE CARS SWEETS.
Soft, dark, dear hair.

So far as | know, NJ outsider had ever
been privileged to peep into the private
notebook of Strephon Demitritoff, the
''doyen" of the St. Petersburg secret po-
lice bureau, an Institution dedicated to
the service of the car Of all the Russias.
1t was therefore with a feeling Of intense
satisfaction net unmingled with awe that
l hung upon the utteranoes of my old
friend as he (the occasion being a cozy
dinner at my house in st. Petersburg)
c~aressingly' turned ever the closely written
pages of a little volume.
AS a trusted agent of the czar, his life
teemed with incidents much toe signii-
ant to be committed to any diary, SO that
the data carefully tabulated within the
covers of the little volume he held in his
hand, while of inthralling interest to a
mystery and plot loving public, were as
nothing compared to the astounding facts
stored up in his retentive memory.

countrymen that ho should confide in me,

Bits of food Nature.

"A thing which l learned by knocking
about the world is the enormous amount
of pure human good nature which is to be
found almost everywhere. 1 should weary
the reader to tell of all the little kind
nesses done to me by fellow passengers in
the railways and steamers and by the cap
tains of the vessels in which I sailed, and
of the trouble which strangers took to help
me out of my small difficulties. OF course
men do not receive because they do not
want such services, and women who trav-

BETWEEN THE CHALK LINES.

The controversy between the Democ-
raey and the G. O. P. of Hudson County
as to who was selected ~for-otfice at last
Tuesdays election is not worrying the
teams that have entered in the County
Republican Club bowling tournament.
To all appearances the member of the
various teams care but little whether
Stevens or McEwan is the elected can
didate. All tina they are interested in
just at present is bowling and woe be to
the man or party who attempts to d.
vert their attention in this respect. The
second game in the series last night be-
tween the teams of Jack Graham's Indi-
an Club and the Wanser Club
attracted over 800 spectators to
Bayliss' alleys last night and for over
two hours there was excitement such
as was never seen at IN Republican
gathering, and this is saying a good deal.
The ndian went up to the Hill with
their tomahawks sharpened to take the
scalps of the Wanserites and they
brought with them a large delegation
of ''rooters'' from "Rootersville." The
wansers, however, were also strong in
their line and each strike and spare was
the signal for maniacal yells that could
be heard as far away as the Junction.
Among the spectators were delegations
from every Republican Club in the city.
The Wanser team took the lead in the
first frame and held it throughout the
game winning by S47 pins. While the
Wanser boys were moving down the
pins Captain Jack danced a war dance,
but this only helped to rattle his team.
Constable Phil Kaiser was high man on
the Wansers Team with a score Of ia
pins. Robatsky captured first honors on
fhn Indian ten m with a score OF loS. Fol-
lowing is the score of last nights game:

JOKING WITH THE POLICE.
Hoboken Boys wild Tale of In
fanticIde.

Umbert Van Ostrand, a ffteen-year-old
boy of No. us Adams street, Hoboken,
ran breathless into the Twelfth street
police station last night about nine
O'Clock and gasped hat a mar had just
thrown a baby into the swamps, near
Jefferson street. between Eighth and
Ninth streets. The boy said the man
was about twenty-five years old, had
d light mustache, and was light COM
plexioned. He wore a light overcoat,
a dark soft hat and light striped trous-
erS
The boy was positive it was a small
baby the man threw into the water, be-
cause, he says, he heard the infants
cry. Instead of looking and making sure
he ran Immediately to the station.
Word was sent to Police Headquar-
tiers, and Captain Hayes detailed Ser
geant Marnell, Patrolman Detters and
Special officer Guinan to investigate;
They returned in about an hour, n
reported that they had thoroughly
searched the swamps, but had failed to
find either the baby or any clothing be-
longing to one.
The police are inclined to think the
boy was sent in to play a joke upon them.

last Tuesday has caused considerable
gossip among the residents of that section
OF Hoboken. Nora was we'll liked by
everybody who knew her and had many
white male admirers. How she ever
concluded to marry a son of Africa can
not be conceived by her friends.
To a News reporter she said thai
James came from Georgia several years
ago and that she met him at a ball in
Hoboken. He was very kind to her and
at her invitation called upon her. 1t
was she that proposed getting married
and not he. she said, and if the people
didn't like 1t they could do the other
thing"
She lived with her sister and brother-in-
law, who, when asked what they thought
of the marriage. refused to express their
feelings. Nora's sister merely said that
as the girl had made her choice she would
have to abide by it. She predicted that
her sister would soon grow tired of her
bargain. Mr.. and Mrs. johnson are liv-
ing together at No. 14 Adams street
apparently as happy as turtle doves.

Lead Fifty Cent Pieces.

George Meyers, sixty-four years old,
Captain of the Lighter Maggie Hines,
was arrested last night by Roundsman
Kilduff of the Twelfth street precinct,
H%oboken, for passing counterfeit fifty
cent pieces. Meyers went into Mrs.
Evans candy store at No. 2o5 Fourteenth
street and bought five cents worth of
tobacco and endered one of the counter
feits in payment. Mrs. Evans took the
spurious coin so easily that Meyers went
back in a few minutes n said that
while he was about it he would take an
other package of tobacco. Again he Of
fered another one of the lead coins, but
as soon as he did so he was nabbed by
tbs Roundsman who was in citizens at
tire.

coin she suspected something was wrong

away. Their the counterfeit vas detec-
ted and Kilduff accompanied her back to
