VIRTUE IN

open air Is what they require, and next
to this is the development of the mus
cles which are relaxed all day. Find
out what sets of muscles are employed
in the daily work, and then try to
make all the others in the body come
up to the same standard OF develop
ment. 1t is this all round muscular
development that makes person
strong and vigorous. Outdoor games
and recreations come the nearest to-
ward accomplishing this than any 9TH
er form OF exercise, and for that reason
they are counted the best health-pro-
ducers OF the age, surprising drugs and
medicines of the apothecary or physi-
clan. Some games, OF course, have
their one-sided tendency, and IL not
supplemented by others, they may
cause injury in this way. Thus tennis
played to the exclusion of all other
games strengthens the right arm and
side, while the left side fails to re-
spond. Wheeling gives less exercise
to the chest and arms. but develops the
muscles in the lower half OF the body.
The same is true of nearly all other
sports. Now. the true athlete passes
from one form of exercise to another.
He punches the bag for time, vaults
with pole. runs a mile. jumps into
the tanks and swims around, tries the
horizontal bar. throws the hammer and
Jumps and runs until there is hardly
a muscle In the body left undeveloped.
That in a sense should be the ideal
standard for the woman. who plays
games or takes other forms of recrea-
ton for the health. Let the attention
be confined to no form to the exclusion
of all others.

Fakir Gathered Up $500 in Short

Daned by girl of the strawberry
blonde type, drove up and down the
principal streets, telling the people
they had wonderful entertainment
in store for all who would assemble
at the corner of High and Main streets
the principal thoroughfare of the city.
In few minutes an immense crowd
had gathered, and after the girl sang
several songs the fakir introduced
himself, with dramatic gestures, as
the "Crazy Doctor or Liberal Bill,
who never lied nor never will" He
began giving away So for 81, and soon
his scheme was working to perfection,
and the people began throwing from
one to $40 bills to him, and in return
they. were to either get double their
money or an electric belt. When the
swindler got about 5000 in his pockets
he bade the crowd ''good night and

not been seen since.

PICKPOCKET AT WORK.
Sherman Pierce Once More Be-
hind the Bars.

Sherman Pierce is once more behind
the big iron bars of the Cumberland
county jail on Broad street hill. Per-
haps the following story will reveal
the reason why Sherman is in this
perdicament.
Last Saturday night, Philip Johns,
also colored, was sitting in house
on Elizabeth street. Presently Pierce
came into the house and sat down
along side of Johns. Before Pierce
sat down Johns knew he had SO. 25
in his pocket, but when Pierce got
up Johns had just S1.15.
He Immediately came to the Office
of Justice of the Peace, Appelgate,
where he made complaint charging
Pierce with picking his pocket.
Pierce was arrested yesterday after
noon by Constable Harry r. Dare and
landed in the county Jail where he
awaits a hearing.
Sherman Pierce has just finished
serving six year term in State prison
and returned home a few days ago.
If it is proven that he did pick Mr..
Johns pocket it will probably go
hard with him.

In addition to the figures as indi-

There will be social in the church

LANDIS WILL

The Sons Are Not Satisfied With
Distribution of Estate.

Vineland, June 25.-The legatees
and disinherited sons Of the late
Charles X. Landis have not, after all,
effected peaceful settlement, and
the Courts will now have to decide
what promises to be the most excit-
ing will contest in the history of
Cumberland county. The will was
admitted to probate last Saturday.
Several days ago it was given out
by member of the Landis family
that an agreement had been reached
between the two disinherited sons,
Richard and Montevert, and the
beneficiarieS of the will. but to-day
Montevert,. the third and youngest
son, announced that he had begun
suit to break his fathers will.
Young Landis' lawyers are former
Judge Howard Carrow, of Camden.
and III. q. Barteltt, of Vineland.
Interest has been added to the case
by the fact that all the legatees have
retained as their attorney Charles X.
Lands. Jr., Mr.. Lands eldest and
favored son, who was remembered by
bequest. Owing to the refusal of
Judge ]. M. Moore, of Clayton. and
Judge J. H. Nixon, of Millville, to
serve as executors of the will, Miss
Matilda T. Landis, the testator' S
sisters, will now be it's sole execu-
tor.
