meager, consisting only of comfortable
seats at the ends and on both sides. As
the sides were not inclosed It was ex-
posed to the elements, and though kept
in repair during the ownership of the
builder 1t became a prey to the influ-
ence of time and the storms, which
found it good mark in its unprotected
position on the hilltop.
At one time it was a favorite resort
for the school children during the week
days, and on Sundays was the Mecca to
which boys and girls turned their steps
when out for a walk. If any boy had
a new jackknife whose qualities were
to be tried, the lark" was the best OBJ
ject to attack. AS result it was COW
cred with all sorts of poetic effusions,
both original and otherwise. Initials and
names were carved, cut, or scratched
In every nook and corner. These PEN
knife attacks helped along the destruc-
ton, and each year witnessed the de-
cay and demolition of the building.
The framework, which alone re-
NAMED, was destroyed about two years
ago by fire which started in the long
grass surrounding it. Mr.. Kissam, the
builder, long ago sold the property
upon which the lark" stood, and after
passing through various hands it is now
owned by James r. Pitcher Of Short
Hills 1t is safe to say that no object
in that portion of New Jersey was more
conspicuous than the old lark" and
nothing was more missed from the land.

Fifth. To Temperance.-1.T The null
titudes of people under the influence
of strong drink, in various degrees, are
the victims. 2. Liquor so&lers, saloon
keepers and all "who put the bottle to
their neighbor's lip" are the robbers.

are Q) All who take no interest in
temperance. (2) All who do not look
after those who are beginning down.
ward course. (3) All who vote wrong,
on the temperance question. (4) All
societies which encourage the use of
strong drink. (5) All churches which
do not use all their influence infavor of
temperance. (6) All who are too busy to
do any temperance work ~ All towns
which permit saloons or tempt their
citizens. 4. The temperance societies
of every kind, the churches, the law
and order leagues. temperance schools,
are all Good Samaritans. Every one of
us should do all we can, personally,
giving money, by joining societies, at
real cost to ourselves, that we may de-
stroy the bands of thieves and save
their victims.
Sixth. To Missions.-Christian mis-
sions are among the most notable ex-
amples of the spirit of the Good Sa-
maritan. This parable answers every
objection that can be brought against
them. So long as a single land re-
mains unenlightened by the Christian
religion, every church should have the
spirit of the missionary who would
leave even Heaven to preach the Cos
pei.

save us.
Second. Passing by on the other side
is seen in the avoidance of information
as to "how the other half lives" re-
fusal to put yourself in his place." in
neglectiug to right the wrongs that
come within our ability, neglecting to
invite others to the Gospel privileges
we enjoy.
Third. Personal Ministrations.-
Good Samaritan not only gave money,
but his own personal service. BY Civ
ing, we reach many whom otherwise
1t would be impossible for us to help.
But there is power for good and re-
fiex benefit to ourselves in personal
sympathy and ministrations, which no
money can buy. Note that Jesus rep
resents the ministrations as coming
from one whose professed belief was
greatly in error. Not that more good
is done by such, but to show that good
may be done by such, and that the
main emphasis is on the life and on the
heart-creed that produces q good life.
Most men have two creeds-one OF the
head, which they have reasoned out, a
theoretical creed; the other their regu-
lative creed, the creed of heart and
life. In the perfect man these are CO.
incident. But it is very possible to
have them quite at variance. The life
creed is the real creed, and II this is
right, and leads to good works, the
man has true faith, as well as works

NEW JERSEYS ARK.
It Rested Upon Mount Ararat
for Many Years.
The Queer Looking Structure Erected by
the Owner of the Eminence-Once
Favorite Resort of
the Children.

Mount Ararat is the first of series
of hills which end in the ridge upon
which Summit is located. With many
twists and turns the tracks of the Nor
ris & Essex division of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western railroad climb
up from the Orange valley to the top of
this ridge at Summit. Quite near to
the track-about half mile-is Mount
Ararat, upon which stood for many
years the queer-looking structure called
the ark"
This ark, says an eastern exchange,
would have been a mere cockleshell
upon the broad expanse of waters, and
If its builder built it for second deluge
he took care not to put too much of an
outlay on a useless object. 1t was
twenty-five years ago that b. f. Nissan
owned Mount Ararat and many broad
acres surrounding it. His fine resi-
ldence stood on the east side of the
Springfield turnpike, in Milburn town.
ship, about mile and half from the
villages of Milburn and Springfield.
; Not far from his house was the base
of Mount Ararat. This spot was the
highest point on his domain, from which
a fine view could be obtained of the
surrounding country. 1t was in the
year ls09-according to the people still
living in Milburn-that Mr.. Nissan
constructed the queer wooden building
which looked like an "ariS," and was
perched upon the crest of this emil
nence. The craft was about fifteen
feet long by five feet wide, pointed at
both ends, and surmounted by canopy
supported by fancy posts, much ON the
Swiss style. The boat stood about two
feet from the ground and was reached
by a short fight ofHooden steps.

THE gang that induced Joe Mer-
rell to burglarize the clerks office
and purloin court records in a case
in which they were interested are
all fit subjects for the Jail and
work house. This is not the first
attempt some of them have made
to break into the penitentiary, and
this community had as well at one
time as another protect itself
against them. When men become
so desperate and abandoned as to
break into a public Office and des-
troy the records they should no
longer be permitted to run at large,
because they are a class of mid
night providers that would not
hesitate to take human lite if it
stood in the way of their schemes
to defeat justice and rob their
neighbors. THE CKIEFTAIN pro-
poses to turn the light on this
nest of sweet-scented vultures.

ISPARHECHER.
A Short Sketch Of the Life of the next
Chief of the MuskOgee Nation.

Isparhecher, the newly elected
chief of the Muskogee nation, was
born in the state of Alabama, while
his tribe occupied that state and
emigrated to this territory in 1886.
His age is probably about sew
enty years. He is a full blood In
dian and uneducated in the En-
glish, but understands and speaks
little English and can read and
write the Indian language quite
fiuently.
He is about six feet tall and
weighs $50 pounds and physically
presents dignified and command
ing appearance. He is man of
strong convictions and great force
of character-noted for his patriot
ism, honesty and personal courage.
In recognition of these worthy
qualities of character, his people
have shown their appreciation by
comforting upon him positions of
honor and trust from the office of
council member, district Judge, ma
tional delegate, associate judge of
the supreme court to that of the
chief executive of his nation.
He was the noted leader of what
is known as the Isparhecher war
which occurred in 1882 and 'S3.
This war was the result of personal
persecution of Isparhecher by po-
litical enemies who took excep-
tions to his vigorous enforcement
of law while he was district judge
ag inst some political friends of
those parties whom he appre-
hended and punished for horse
stealing in his district. He was
suspended from office but never
tried. This persecution was kept
up without intermission until he
was driven from his home and
country for the period of two
years. In the meantime several
thousand of his people espoused
his cause and followed him to Fort
Sill in the Comanche reserva-
ton.
During this time several good
men were killed on both sides and
much property destroyed. He and
his people were finally induced by |
the guarantee of the U. S. govern
ment of full amnesty and protec-
tion to return TO their homes and
submit to the constitution and
laws of his nation and an agree
ment was effected by the peace |
commissioners between Isparhech-
er and the Greek government at |
Muskogee in 1888.
This agreement has been faith
fully observed by him and his peo.
pie from that time to the present.
His faithful recognition OF the
of said agreement to
support the constitution and laws
of his nation has made him the |
chosen representative of good gov
ernment resulting in his over
whelming election to the chieftan-
cy in the late election. CORES

c. A. Bates Advertising Talk.

Do you advertise God save the
markl) on the back of restaurant
bills of fare? Do you put a card in
the book "for the benefit of the fire
department." Do you subscribe
to the industrial Progress" book
and have your picture in it as a
prominent business man? Does
the "society"-program catch you?
Are you susceptible to the bland
ishment of the gentleman who puts
beautiful charts in all the railway
stations?
Do you take "a space--the only
one left" in a thousand and one
schemes that come around every
year? Do you suppose that you
ever get cents worth of benefit
out of any SO you ever spent that
way?
If all the dollars that are divert
ed from the newspapers into these
and similar channels were used in
buying space in the best paper IN
town there would be fewer mer-
chants who would say that adver-
tising was a doubtful undertaking.
There is nothing doubtful about
it. 1t is as sure as any other bus
mess transaction. The funny
part of it is that it is generally
given less attention than any other
department of a business.
The contract once made and the
space decided upon, the average
advertisers interest seems to die.
Even a neglected ad in the local
paper will do some good in spite
of the advertisers apathy. A
good advertisement will always
bring profitable returns, if placed
in a paper whose price for space is
based on an honest circulation
statement.

THE REMEDY FOR INTRUSION.

There perhaps has never been a
time In the history of the Chero-
kee nation when some of its citi-
zens have not openly or covertly
advocated a division of the lands.
The average Cherokee citizen has
always looked upon the scheme as
being detrimental to the Indian
and only stepping stone to tribal
dissolution. In the earlier days
of the nation it was probably fact
that those who favored allotment
imply wanted to get individual
possession of land, in order that
they might sell it to outside parties
for cash, without any reference TO
the welfare of the trioe or the
rights of futare generations. Hence
the scheme has from time i'm
memorial been regarded with sus-
picinn and as an element of dan
ger to Indian autonomy. But the
recent widespread discussion of
of the subject throughout the five
tribes in this territory, and by citi-
zens whose patriotism and honesty
is beyond suspicion, is leading up
to a fuller and more compTehen-
sive knowledge of the subject, and
