: vass.
The railroad shops were shut down
election day This looks rather rldicu-
! lous that II corporation should close
| its shops for little insignificant
county election. But this is nothing
out of the ordinary, as they some
times shut down for circus OF some
thing fully as ridiculous.
Miss Ella Smith is having erected a
fine new porch in front of her resi-
dence ON Main street.
The superintendent and several
employees of the Lnmbertville Rubber
Company started out for rabbits ON
Friday, the opening day of the season.
Thanksgiving Day will no doubt be
holiday for all the employees of the
Lambertyille Rubber Company.
Election day passed off very quietly
i'll the ward. There was no disturbance
or misconduct noticeable. Tho vote
polled was very small, being but 236.
This was l0l short of the canvass.
The Republicans moro than got thoir
percentage. although no effort was
made on their part to get out the vote
An outsider would hardly have known
an election was in progress.
The boys have been prncticing upon
that seasonable game of foot ball for
the past week, and have worked them
selves up i'll good shape to meet the
Pennington boys with something like
an even chance. When they went to
Pennington recently they were not
prepared to "buck' against the team
there, and are now better prepared to
give the Pennington boys little sur
prise.
The average man hates aud dospises
charity. Not because he is prejudicod
against charity but because he knows
so we'll that ii casts stigma upon
everyone who accepts its gifts. 1t
lowers his manhood and that necos=
sary self-estcem which keeps the fire
of ambition ever burning i'll the human
soul. | respect the mans opinion
who despises charity, for he can give
good and substantial reason for the
filth within him. So long as the
public is willing To buy my work and
pay me living wages, 40 long will |
remain happy and contented to grind
out my thought dreams, but let the
public demand that my contributions
he cnst into tho waste basket, and the
people then double my salary for re
manning silent, that salary and TINT
silencc would drown all the pride and
manhood within me- and would feel
like going into some far off cavern
and nurse at the hind spigot of the
tactical fountain attached to n female
goat rather than accept such coudi-
tons and live amongst mon.
The jew won't eat pork because he
is controlled by his religious preju-
dice, but he will eat duck or n goose
raised in the same barnyard, and
known to devour filth Mt which n hog
would turn mp his nose in disgust.
Give Il hog chance and he will try to
be II gentlemen, but give II duck OPP
portunity aud he will devour any sort
of filth outside of II divorce court.
The American won't eat horse flesh on
dog in raw and undisguised state,
but make them up into bologna sau-
sage or canned beef and he'll grow
fat and full of patriotism on it.
