"a Knight of the Highway" Clinton
Scollard's romantic idyl of the hop-felds,
is published complete in the September
New LiPpimcoH Magazine This is
sweet-yet strong-story of mans re-
generation through girls love and faith
in him, and makes special appeal at this
balmy hop harvest season, when hundreds
of me n, women and children in the upper
part of New York state are making their
living picking hops and revealing in the
pure, free air of the hills Mr.. Scollard's
knight" is 'vagabond gentleman"
who has made rather a mess of his life so
far, but at the time the tale opens he has
drifted back to the familiar neighborhood
of old college days. With this environ
ment yearning to do better seizes him.
Here fate lends hand in turning his face
toward the hop-felds and to the girl who
proves his salvati on. Mrs. Burton Har
rison, whose d distinguished name assures
eager reading, contributes a touching
story of the Civil War. It is entitled
"Winwood's Luck" 'What Happened
After Mary Macarthur Cut Her Finger, is
very good story by S. R. Crockett, in
which Scotch humor and pathos abound.
A lovely little sketch by young English
writer. E. Ayrton, is entitled "The Bar
barous Babe Paul Laurence Dunbar's
story. "The independence of Silas Bollen-
der.'' is the second "Ohio PASTORAL The
first was published in August NeW LlPPan-
colt, but they are in no sense continued. !"
Each story deals with some phase of rural
Ohio life, and the one this month is about
county fair and is both seasonable and
amusing. MRS. North" is written by
high official at Washington, and is scath-
ing arraignment of recent novel which
deals with Washington social and official
life. The pen name, M. B: James, bali
conceals half reveals the authors identity.
Dr.. Charles c. Abbott's Sin a Second
Hand Shop is delightful bit of human
nature out shopping
Not many Americans know that Hiram
u. Grant was the eighteenth President OF
the limited States. Yet 1t is true, for
eUlysses Simpson" was never legally the
name Of our greatest General. This in
teresting fact is brought out by Franklin
R Wiley in The Ladies' Home Journal
for September, i'll Famous People as We
DO Not Know Them" The story of how
If came about was told by member Of
Cougre ,s-Thomas L. Hamer-who re-
commended young Grant as candidate
for West Point in 1889. Mr.. Hamer had
long been friend of the Grants, but when
he Came to make out the application papers
for Ulysses he could not recall the boys
full name. So, deciding that he was
doubtless named for his mothers family,
he wrote it "Ulysses Simpson Grant Z"
Thus was it recorded at West Point, and
though the attention of the officials was
several times called to the error they did
not feel authorized to correct it. This
name was gradually adopted, and by 1t
Grant was, and always will be, known
But as for any record of the birth OF
ulysses Simpson Grant" that does not
exist.

1t is now generally known and under
stood that Drunkenness is disease and
not weakness. A body filled with poi

Peculiar Actions.

On the night of Thursday, August 8,
an occurrence took place at the railroad
station which led some citizens to believe
that there was a mystery which should be
investigated by the authorities. The case
was reported to THE News by one of the
onlookers at the time, but nothing wrong
could be discovered, and this paper re-
Trained from publishing a sensational
article merely to satisfy morbid curiosity
Suspicion was aroused by the removal of
young lady in cot on the 1880 train to
Philadelphia, and the facts in the case are
as follows: The invalid was Miss Anna
Taylor, 10 years old, who lives on Colum-
bia avenue, Philadelphia, with her brother
Albert She had come to Mount Holly to
spend a month with her brother, James
TAYLOR, on Garden street. Miss Taylor
was taken suddenly Ill the first night after
her arrival with asthma, from which dis
ease she had been suffering for a long
time. Her physician, Dr. Yale of Phila
delphia, who conducts sanitarium there,
was sent for, and he advised her removal
to the city at once. In order to avoid the
publicity of woman being carried on
cot in daytime she was taken away at
night, in company with her three brothers
and DR.. Yale
| The actions of the party at the station
led some bystanders to comment on the
affair. A reporter called on Mr.. Taylor
who gave the facts as above, and said
that DIR. Fl. R. Faringer had attended the
girl. A member of this firm called the
doctor on the telephone, and received a re-
ply that s'he knew nothing about the
case" Last evening Mr.. Taylor was met
on The street and was asked about the
matter. He reported the statement above
and said DR.. Faringer was in attendance
here Mr. Taylor was told that DR.. Far
niger said he knew nothing of the case
ssHe will not say that to me, said Taylor,
che was there four or five times. .
AS soon as Taylor had gone Dr. Far
niger was called on the phone, and
was again asked if he attended Miss Tay-
lor. This time he answered in the affirm
alive. He was then asked what was the
nature of her complaint. He replied that
he would not tell, and when asked why
he took this stand, he said it was because
he was not called in to attend to the case
Last evening Dr. Faringer called at
THE News office and informed one of the
firm that If we inserted his DIR. Faringer's)
!, name in connection with this case we
would do it at our peril.
