% awarded the wheel on Christmas
day. Isn't it worth working for?
BY paid subscriptions is meant those
subscriptions which are accompanied
by the money. A subscription for one
month, accompanied by 80 cents, will
entitle the contestant to one vote for
the wheel; three.months, with $1.25, to
three votes; six months, with $3.50, to
six votes; one year, with So, to twelve
votes; and so on. That is the contest
in nutshell.
The rapid growth of the circulation
OF The TIMES, its great Improvement
as news medium, its general excel
lence as a local paper, and its thor
ough telegraph service, make it a COM
paratively easy matter to secure SUBJ
scriptions. Times are getting better,
and people will have money this fall
and winter to pay their subscriptions.
BY keepiag at it and doing good, hard
work in idle hours, somebody will be
able TO mount fine new bicycle on
next Christmas day, and own it ever
'afterward as reward of earnest exer-
ton.
The second and THIRD prizes will be
announced later. They will be worth
working for.
Remember, the contest starts on
September l. Those intending to
compete can secure all the informa-
ton they desire and sample copies of
the paper by applying at the office.
Get ready to do your best for the
handsome and costly prize. The most
persistent worker will win.

HOW THE RESERVES
....-. ELECTED A SPONSOR.

Nearly every military company has
as its sponsor some fair maid whose
very presence tends to fire the patriot
ism Of the hardy Sons of Mars and
who inspires them to heroic deeds.
During the encampment of the "a
val reserves the lack of sponsor was
quite apparent and it was decided to
appoint one. A committee was APP
polnted to select one, but they could
not agree and the matter was referred
back to the company.
Nominations were called for and one
stalwart blue eyed and blonde haired
soldier addressed the company.
"Boys," he said. eve want a brave,
heroic girl, one who amid the din OF
battle should be courageous enough to
grasp the banner and bearing 1t aloft
regardless of bullets and shells, head
the company to glory and victory and
as such l propose"
ga la Maid of Orleans, eh?' sneered
one.
mo" said another one, "that is not
the kind Of girl we want; we want a
gentle, thoroughly feminine girl, one
who will sympathize with us, one who
will soothe us when we are wounded,
one which will make each Of us feel
personally responsible for her safety
and make US fight for her with cOur-
age born of desperation"
"a sort of milk and water b beauty
remarked the irrepressible cynic.
This sort of talk did not bring the
matter to close, and one proposed to
prepare ballots and let each man vote
for the one he thought most suitable
for the enviabe position as sponsor
for the naval reserves.
This motion was unanimously car
RED and the ballots were prepared and
filed on bayOnet.
When the voting was over the result
was found to be one which probably
had never been known INT an election
There were notwO ballots alike. Every
one of the forty. six men present ha6
his own idea as to what girl wouIt
make an ideal sponsor and each on'
had voted for his own particular girl
And therefore the election was de-
clared off.
And that is The reason why tn,
Brunswick naval reserves have t
worry along without sponsor.

Some Queer Signs.

An editor with an eye for the curious
notes the following queer signs, seen in
various'parts of the world;
In England: Quart measures of all
shapes and sizes sold here.
In Georgia, on house occupied by q
doctor and shoemaker: We repair both
sold and body
In New York: Pies open all night,
In France: Only the dead who live in
this parish are buried here.

SPEAKING of nuIsances, what is the
matter with that overflowing drink
ing fountain at the Oglethorpe hotel
corner, which makes Newcastle street
disgracefully sloppy for the length of
a block or Mores Attention was called
to this nuisance by THE TIMES months
ago, but the fountain seems to, have a
sort of TennysOn's brook mcVemeut

The Psalm OF Life

"a serious address to the old MAIDS Oh
Brunswick by one of them. Contributed 10
HE TlMEs.)
Tell us not in idle jingle
Marriage is an empty dream :.
For the girl is dead that's single
And things are not what they seem
Life is real, life is earnest,
Single blessedness fib.
Man thou art to man returnest,
Has been spoken of the rib.
Not enjoyment and not sorrow
Is our destined end or way,
But to live, that each tomorrow
Brings us nearer marriage day.
Life is long and youth is heeting
And our hearts are light and gay
Still like pleasant drums are beating
Wedding marches all the day.
In the worlds broad field OF battle,
In the bivouac of life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle,
Be heroine-a wife
Trust no future, howe'er pleasant;
Let the dead past bury its dead;
Act, act, in the living present
Hoping for the spouse and head
Lives of married folks remind us
We can live our lives as well
And, departing, leave behind us,
Such examples as will tell.
Such examples that another,
Wasting time in idle sport,
A forlorn, unmarried brother,
Seeing, shall take heart and court.
Let us then be up and doing,
With heart on triumph set;
Still continuing, still pursuing,
Till each one husband get.

ANNOUNCING EMIT.

THE TINES intends giving away a
standard high grade bicycle worth
500. The bicycle is to go to the per-
son, man, woman or child, who shows
the greatest energy aud success in a
competition which THE TIMES has de-
cided to inaugurate.
There will also be other prizes for
those who come nearest to the first
place in the contest.
Everybody wants good bicycle,
and nearly everybody is willing to do
some good work to get it. THE TIMES
realizes tins fact and is going to give
everybody the chance they are after.
A little earnest effort, put in after
regular work hours during the next
four months, will win the bicycle.
In saying bicycle, The TIMES does
not mean any ordinary, cheap, rattle
trap device that is honored with the
name of wheel. The bicycle that this
paper VIII give away will be as good
as the best of them-strictly high
grade, one of the standard makes. In
short while after the beginning of
the contest, the bicycle will be placed
prominently on exhibition, SO that
those who contest for it can see just
what they are working for.
Now, to the plan. The person who
brings III, between September ! and

The Passaic.

Alert and alight with the rage of war,
Challenging fate with the sullen roar
OF her heavy guns, like thing of life,
She stormed her way through the battles str fe.
Onward she swept past the lurid days,
Into her haven through charmed ways;
Now safe she swings to the tides soft flow,
In the light of peaceful afterglow.
