WHlPPANY

In order that the rising generation
in Whippany, who attend the public
school there, might become familiar
with the methods by which the Presi-
dent and President are elected,
Miss Mary Struble, the principal, and
her assistant, Miss Hawkins, changed
the regular exercises on Friday after
noon so that they could hold poll
tical convention. The exercises open
ed with singing Columbia, the Gem
of The Ocean. Pupils representing the
Republican and Democratic parties
then spoke for their respective candi-
dates. The speeches, when the ages
Of the pupils participating is consi-
dered, were remarkably good.
The first speaker, Horace Blocker.
aged IL, championed the cause of
Bryan. He thought that hard times
were the result Of Republican mis-
rule. He made many good points, al
though in closing he made an unfor-
tunate break, saying that Bryan
has laid the axe to the root of the
Democratic tree. - He was followed
by Howard Ball, II years of age, who
took up the arguments of his prede-
cessor in good shape, plainly show
ing that Master Blocker was entirely
right in his claim that Bryan had
taxed the Democratic tree at it's
root. He also discussed the 16 to | and
the Philippine question with a good
deal of force. His argument of
Mckinley against the Democratic
claim of the standing army was also a
bright one. In turn he was followed
by Eddie Fables, aged ID, who con-
tinued the argument for Mr.. Bryan.
He was of the opinion that Mr..
Mckinley was afraid to use his voice,
while Mr.. Bryan talked all the
time. y He argued that the Filipinos
were happier roaming through their
native wild-woods than when they
became civilized.
Robert Carroll, aged IL, answered
young Fables argument, and in refer
ence to the Philippine question said
that their wanting to be free was like
a child who could not have his own
way, so must be whipped by his mother
and made to go to school and acquire
wisdom to become great and wise
man, so the Filipinos should be whip
ped. He also referred to Mr.. Bryan s
47-cent dollar which he wanted TO
make worth 100 cents.
The speaking was closed by John
Ellis, a Democrat of 10, who was of

tions in design and decoration, says
the New York Sun. For outing pur-
poses and strictly morning wear, there
are the plain tailor-made waists of
madras and cheviot,> with French
back and box plat down the front,
but the dainty sheer lawns and soft
silks with their tucks and frills are so
much more attractive that the original
shirt waist is quite eclipsed by the
more feminine variety. All over en-
broideries are used for white waists,
and in small designs of dots and birds
eyes, embroidery forms two.lnch
bands with narrow lace finishing the
edges, on a plain white lawn waist,
stripping it in three rows up and down
the back and front. -
A silk bodice which has the effect OF
bolero is tucked around in waved
lines, and the lower part of it above
the belt is of diamond-tucked white
organdie, very fine and sheer. This
forms the lower sleeve, the, transpar.
ent chemisette and collar band and
the revers edged around with frill
of lace.
Another model with yoke of lace
is piped around the neck with black
velvet, and cravat of the same silk is
threaded through an opening below

Lake on Mountain Top.

n Farldown in Southwestern Arizona,
near Sonora, on the Mexican border,
thereis range of mountains which
appears to have but one face of hard,
smooth granite. The top of this bunch
of mountains is in the form of a gigan-
tic basin. Here the rainfall has been
gathering for ages, until quite an ex-
tensivetlake is the. result. -.
} The overthrow tumbles into rother
basin below, and SO on through a
series of nine, the last one being near
the ground and on the direct road
from Yuma to Sonora. The lower
tanks are easy of access and are often
drained by travellers and animals.
The great upper tank can only be
approached by circuitous and difficult
climbing. To stranger standing be-
low, the upper lake, of course, has no
existence. In that plain below are
over 200 graves. Scores of human
beings, famishing for water, have ex-
pended their last strength in reaching
this spot, only to find the lower tanks
dry; and, ignorant Of the great upper
lake, where thousands of gallons were
tobe had for little climbing, have
laid down in despair to die. Later
travellers passing have buried. the un-
knowns' remains. and always marked
the grave Mexican fashion. by cross
of stones. -
