Success Assured.

| A strange noise was heard out Madison
avenue early Wednesday morning, caus-
ing people to run out of the house fearing
that an earthquake was about to occur
A crowd collected at the residence OF
Francis Reed, who found that the dis
turbance emanated from a new hennery
that has just been erected in his yard,
where a number of chickens were break
ing through shells to get their first peep
of day. This meant success for the com
pany recently organized for the raising
of chickens.
Francis at once became exhilarated over
the outlook He attempted to call up his
partners on the telephone, but the ex-
change had not yet opened for business.
Messengers were sent out and presently
Charles r. Sinnickson, the secretary, ar
rived on the scene, wearing smile as
broad as the railroad track. Soon after
this Sidney Skillman, the treasurer, came
running up the avenue coatless and with
out any head gear. He was so excited
over the situation that in fit of tempo
rary alteration of mind he ran across the
street to the hospital after doctor. Ring
ing the door bell violently Skillman be-
gan to talk incoherently, but he was hu-
mored for few moments.
BRUSH onI brush onl" alphabetically
demanded Steward Price, after he found
what the trouble was.
"Sid" retraced his steps, and when he
entered the sitting room of the new build
ing he saw ten little orphan chicks hunt
ing for a guardian. The mother-that is,
the incubator-looked on in silence. "Sid"
rubbed his hands and said that the corpo :
ration would soon declare dividend, and
he Immediately purchased all the remain
ing stock, which he said was bound to
take jump.
The first chicken out happened to be
rooster. and he will be cock of the walk
for some time to come E. Plum Pitcher,
the artist, was sent for, and the little fell
low was branded with the initials &c. Il.
S. in hand painted letters.
About O'Clock an Italian with hand
organ came floating in from Lumberton-
While other chickens were mourning Tor
breath of fresh air, engineer Washing
ton W. Watts pressed the organ into ser
vice, and when he boarded his locomotive
at the station, the Italian was standing on
Reeds lawn playing I'm coming"
Some of the bystanders asked how the
Bryan eggs came out. This remark
caused Skillman to straighten up as though
an electric current had been unexpectedly
turned on. He wore sober look, winked
his eye and sadly remarked: dead issue,
no good"
Orders are now coming in, and the first
lot of springers will be shipped to New
York

The Stokes School Bill.

Undoubtedly the most important act o.
this years Legislature was what is known
as the Senator Stokes proposition to pay
out of the surplus in the Treasury thirty.
! five per cent. of the State school tax. The
exact scope and effects of the policy are
/ but vaguely understood by the citizens OF
| New Jersey, and interviews with Controll-
er Hancock, through whose department the
distribution is made, and Senator Stokes,
of Cumberland, the author of the plan,
gives an idea of the matter: Mr. Hancock
said:-
1.-THE last Legislature, in compliance
with a recommendation made by Governor
Voorhees, in his annual message, on the
distribution of the surplus in the Treasury
at the beginning of this fiscal year, appro
priated thirty-f1ve per cent. of the State
school tax, to be allotted to the different
municipalities. This amount approx
mates 1918, $50. The method of arriving
at the total amount of this tax has been the
enumeration of children of school age with
in the State, calculating them at S. per
child and distribution in the counties in
accordance with the ratables.
This is not by any means all that the
State has done to reduce the burdens of
taxation. Within the last few years laws
have been passed by which the following
amounts are annually paid:-State aid for
building of stone roads, $3.50, 900; railroad
tax allowed to municipalities, 100000
additional amount from income of school
fund, 100000; payment of salaries of
county superintendent of schools, former
ly paid by counties, $26, 900, and this year
the State relinquishes taxes to municipal
tiles formerly collected by it from gas,
electric, water and street railway COM
panies under the franchise act, amount
ing to 1925, 900.
''This is not all that will accrue to the
of the municipalities, but, in
addition, any further amount which the
State Board of Assessors may increase the
value of franchises under the law of 1900,
all taxes on this class of property hereafter
being payable to the municipality where
such property is located. The total of the
above amounts to about 81, 500, 900, which
the State formerly retained for its use and
which is now annually distributed to the
taxing districts, thus relieving the tax
payers to this extent"
This statement shows the exact amount
of relief from taxation that will be derived
from this act BY each county in the State

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease, re-
quires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building. up the
constitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have SO much
faith in it's curative powers that they offer
