HUMAN NATURE IN A HACK.

An Observant Policeman Gives an Exa mple
of How He Has Watched 1t.
"Yis," said the observant policeman,
SITS aisy enough to tell whether q
party in a hack is going away on
trep across the say or be just come
back from wan. They both of 'em hev
got their boondles, and their port
manteys. and their boxes, and faith,
you can't tell from them things, for
livery thing that we uses over here now
is more Englisher than the English
themselves. But they're jest as bad
over on the other side of the wather-
bad cess to it for being so broad and
SO dape!-for me brother Terrence that
wint across last Novimber, tould m e
that over in the ould country every
things American, from the hotels to
;he shoes.
''But as was saying, 'tisn't by thin
things 1 can tell whether a party's GO
ng away or coming back. It's by the
party themselves. If they're going
away they all sits with their faces
turned dead ahid, and with koind of
set look to their eyes and mouth, as
though they didn't dare smile or wink
les people should think they wasn't ac-
:ustomed to a big summer trip. Even
the little vans set up sober as jedges,
md they look ginerally as though they
10 be tied up in shplents.
But rest aisy, now, it's quite def
ferunt thing with a party that's just
riding home from the stamer. Ivry
window is that full of heads you can't
see into the inside of the hack. They
bob out their heads and look up this
strate and down that strate, screwing
their hicks round to look up at the tall
buildings wanst more, and wondering
why it is that New hewitt changed at
Eli while they've been away. The
shplents is all off, all the STIFFNESS has
wored away. They've found that
there was thousands and tens of thou
sands of other folks over there that
have been talxin' a big trep, and that
they're only plain people after all.
And, sor, to my mind, they're a hape
sight plisinter to LUX at bobbin' round
and actin like passed. of children in
the hack than they are whin struck up
like a lot of mummies.-N. Y. Sun.

JUDSON CREAMERY BUTTER.

We have mentioned on several oc-
casions the fact that a considerable
amount of dirt is taken from the
milk by seperatOrs at creameries, and
that therefore the butter is rendered
more pure and healthful. THE fact
that dirt is taken from the milk at
Judson or any other creamery does,
not indicate that less care is taken
there, but on the contrary that the
separator process is more thoroughly
and scientifically done, and that the
butter is therefore as pure as it is
possible to be made. This is why
creamery butter is so largely sought
after in the east and in cities. judi
son creamery butter is thoroughly
first-class in every particular, and
should meet with large demand in
this city, and what is true of the judi
son butter is true of the other cream
cries of the county.

BIXBY=THOMAS.

A very pleasant affair took place at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
t. Thomas, in Garden City, at 80
o'clock last evening, being the mar
riage of their daughter, Ella Leona,
to John G. Bixby. A large gathering
of friends of both families were pres
emit, and the bride was presented with
numerous useful and handsome gifts.
Both of the young people are well
and favorably known over the county,
and have hosts of friends. They have
grown up in the county, and are
among the best of its young people,
coming from old and highly respected
families. They go to housekeeping
at once. The FREE PRESS joins their
many other friends in wishing them a
long and happy future.

BOUND OVER.
The Grand Jury Will Consider ithe
Cases of Wall and Powers.

The criminal actions against Louis
Walz and VIM. Powers, on the charge
of selling liquor without licenses at
AmbOy, were argued before Judge
Shissler this forenoon, and he found
the evidence sufficient to hold them
until the grand jury meets the latter
part of the present month. He &C.
cordingly bound them over to the
grand jury, and placed their bonds at
800 each, which have been furnished
In each case two witnesses were put
on the stand who testified to having
purchased liquor of the two defend
ants. A bottle of whisky was also
produced in evidence. This will be
placed where it cannot be tempered
with, for it will be sealed and placed
in the city's box in the safety deposit
vault until needed in district court.
The officials do not propose that the
contents of the bottle shall be changed
this time. The two defendants testi-
fed in their own behalf that they had
sold no liquor.

liar charge, was postponed until May

At the silver medal Evolutionary
contest only four speakers reported as
being prepared, and as the new con-

require six speakers, the chairman de.
cided to change the entertainment tC
a musical and literary. After some
instrumental and vocal music, a hui
morous recitation entitled, Jimmy
Butler and the Owl" was given by
Robert Hynson, which, brought down
the house and gained hearty applause
1t was decided that there must be ten
disclaimers on the list hereafter before
a contest will be announced.
At the NJ. E. quarterly meeting
here there was some disappointment
