GRADE LESSON ~
CAPT. JOHN SMITH.
PART l..

PART 1.
Every boy Who knows anything about
the history of this country has heard oil
John smith, who was the founder ef
jamestown in Virginia. We might al
most say that he was the founder OF the
United States, for jamestown, as you
know, was the first English settlement in
America. Everything about hum Is IN
terestlng He was 50 brave and so faith
ful to duty hat we cannot help learning
some good lessons from the story OF his
life.
Captain Smith was born at Wllloughby,
in England, in the month OF January,
1879. His parents died when he was
mere child, and he was left alone IN the
world without any one to take care Oh
him. Yet he was brave and indie
pendent bow, and he soon showed that he
was well able to make his own way in the
world. He was fond OF adventure, as
most boys are; and while he was still
youth he wandered away to Holland, and
spept some time with the English army
which was there.
When he came back to England, he
began to train himself for the life OF
soldier. Instead Of passing his time IN
idleness with other young men OF
Willoughby, he went out to the "oous
near by, and built sort OF house 1or
himself of the boughs of trees. Here ne
intended to stay; and as for 1000, ne
meant to shoot deer, and live on the
yenison. In this "Bower," as he called It,,
he got together as many books on war
like matters as he could find; and he
spent the greater part Of his time in
studying them.
By this means he taught himself the
art of war; but as he knew that soldier
must fight with his own hands, he also
set about learning how to use every SORT
of weapon. At that time 1t was very
common for men to fight on horseback
with a lance. This was a long wooden
spear, having a sharp iron ONT with
which its owner tried to strike ms enemy
while riding at full speed.
Young John Smith had horse ana
lance with which he practised every day,
riding swiftly and trying to strike ring
n. OF her object from the bough of tree
to which it had been hung. lie also
practised with his sword to make ms eye
len and his wrist tough; and he hred at
trees with his pistol, to become gooa
marksman. By such means as these he
fitted himself for the life of a soldier;
and then he set out in search OF al
ventures.
These adventures, he knew, would not
be wanting, if he only had brave heart
to seek them. War was going on III
eastern Europe against the Turks, ana all
rood soldiers were welcome there TO help
the Christians. So Smith went forth,
having made up his mind to fight bravery,
and, if he could, make name for HIM
self.
He crossed the English channel and
landed in France; but three Frenchmen
who had come over with him in the ship
treated him very badly. They saw that
he was but mere boy, ana stole the
trunk in which were all his clothing
and his money. This left him IN great
trouble, for he was in strange country
without friends. But he kept brave
heart, and soon showed that he could

the roosts where he started to fill his
bag with the choicest of the birds he

sEE-SAW POLITICS.

Specia( to the Jersey City Nclrs

SOMERVILLE, March II, 1895. -
strange condition of political affairs such
as has never been experienced in this or
anv other part of the State now cons
fronts the voters of Bridgewater Town
ship. The ball of political contention
which precipitated the present disafec-
ton in the ranks of both the Republican
and Democratic parties was starred roll
ing in the Republican caucus FRIDAY
when Lawyer James L.. Griggs named
Arthur p. Sutphen as a candidate Tor
the nomination of Justice of the 2eace-
Stuphenl is without party Affiliations.
He has been elected to office for the
past ten years by the combined vote OF
the Independents and Republicans His
nomination was repaised in the caucus
by a speech from Theodore HOFFMAN. an
aged Republican and a prominent lawyer,
who denounced the acton of Gr.gss as
an attempt 10 load down the ticket WITH
a man who had worked against ans sne he,
faction, however. was in the majority.
and he was nominated,
gested thai the remainder of the ticket
nominated Dr.. ". 7. F. Ayers. a prom.
i tesm Of Pe the late 5 j. hel W ansAo'Trfh s
anti-Sutpher faction became suddenly
imbued with the same spirit Of PEN
OCIdcy. o1Scl CASttSahSAt
Ex-senator C. .. Hoffman repeatedly
arose as the vote was being taken and
protested tina the caucus was being
packed by Democrats. DR.. Ayers mann
was placed on the ticket by an over
whelming majority. Then followed the
nomination of other Democrats to I'LL
minor offices in the township.
An equally surprising deviation from
the usual course of things took place
at the Democratic caucus on Saturday.
when Alexander H. Brokaw. a lifelong
Republican. was nominated for the of1ce
of Township Committeeman. County Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction John
w. Anderson made a speech in which
he warned the Democrats against COM
uniting the folly of the Republicans.
Brokaw's nomination was carried by a
incumbent Of the ONCE of Township
Committeeman. to which he was elected
for several terms by the Republicans
Up to the time of his nomination he
had no followers among the Democrats.
and his adoption by that party is as
startling as the recent action of the
Republican caucus.
The action of both .caucuses is gen
orally condemned. AT present all is
chaos. No political prophet can predict
the outcome of the existing muddle,
which affects the voters of the large
towns of Somerville and Raritan and. a
lumber of smaller towns in the 6htiy-
ing districts. ~
