A CHlLD'S CONFIDENCE,
What Ii Means For the Children ia

Confidence implicit trust ~ what
beautiful words these are. ana how
much they mean. How pleased we are
when some one believes in us, and
when some one has implicit and
boundless confidence in us how deeply
flattered we are and how hard we
try not to spoil that persons opinion
Of our wisdom and goodness. Yet
some people don't care whether their
children believe in them or not.
There is nothing so beautiful as the
way little child looks up to its moth

wisdom and goodness. More's the pity
that impression doesn't last. oh, yes"

the mother especially. for She should
be the conlidant, the grown up chum
of her children. \ mother should al
ways find time to listen to the troubles
of her children: she should advise them
wisely, and never scold or laugh at
them when they come to her with their
little condolences. y mother should be
more than i creature who issues com

best friend. The fear of hurting the
gentle heart of this best friend VIII

last through life. The girl who cannot
make Il conidant of her mother will
find such Il bosom friend elsewhere.
and the boy who feels that his mother
does not understand him will find
some one who does; for it is human
nature to demand sym athy and to cX-
change condolences .tA another.
The woman wh> has no time 10 listen
to her children's troubles. who never
joins in their games and whose sole
interest in their studies consists in
finding out whether they have high
marks is no mother mt all. She may
be obeyed implicitly, her household
may be a well ordered one, but her
children after the first few rebufs
will never consult her when in diff
culties. They will decide things for
themselves, and in after years when
they come to the crisis in their lives t
will be the same. Mother doesn't

Carriage is one of the chief essen
tails" says a social authority. 81 have
seen women who simply by the way
they held themselves appeared several
inches taller and showed to greater adj
vantage than a companion to whom
nature alone had been far kinder
The next thing, of course is clothes;
not alone what they are, but the man
ner in which they are put ON. Every
one knows that some women look dow
dy in the most elaborate coifections
from the best French ateliers, while
others show style and grace in cotton
gowns that have been made by home
dressmaker. Such adaptability is gen
orally natural gift, but it can also
be acquired, and it behoOves every wo-
man to study her personal appearance
and how she can make the best of her
self Older women often score in this
way over their younger rivals. We
cannot look young, but at least we
may look new"

That mother never has understood
That she has stood on her high pedes-
tai and never condesccnded to come
down to the childs level and read the
secrets of Il child's heart. Mother does
not understand, but some one else does,
and guided by that somebody or per-
haps guided only by her lonely self,
the girl takes her course for good or
for worse and perhaps ruins her life
forever Then the mother wrings her

Foot Ball,

The boosted champions of Woodbury.,
namely, the Woodbury. Athletic Associa-
ton, are in deep mourning over their defeat
on Saturday.
Notwithstanding the rain crowd Of
about four hundred people assembled at
the North Woodbury. grounds to witness
the annual contest between the teams
representing the different sections of the
city. Nor were they disappointed, as it
was most interesting game from start to
finish. Both teams were confident of win
ming, but the superior team work of the
South Woodbury. boys was soon apparent
and the ball was twice carried beyond their
opponents goal line for touchdowns. These
with one goal ended the scoring for beth
teams; score IL to 0.
The South Woodbury. team kicked of,
the ball being downed on North Wood
bury's twenty yard line. After several
futile line rushes the ball came in possession
of the Southenders, who quickly carried it
to within few yards of their oppon-
ents' goal where the ball was lost on downs.
The ball was then kicked to the centre of
the field, but was soon carried to its former
position by the purple and orange by quick
line bucking, and a centre rush by Foster
carried the ball over the line for a touch
down. A goal was kicked making the score
to 0. Though long gains were made by
the South Woodburians at every rush, time
was called before they could make another
touchdown.
In the second half North Woodbury.
kicked the ball twice in succession over the
South Woodburians' goal line, which en-
titled them to the ball The ball was
then kicked well into the blue and yellow's
territory. Here the visiting team quickly
gained the ball on downs and rapidly push
ed their way toward their opponents goal.
w. Conover succeeded in carrying the ball
over the line for touchdown. This was
the end of the scoring.

Smallpox.

There is nothing gained in closing our
eyes to the fact that Woodbury. is an up
tO-date town, bound to have everything
going, even to smallpox. 1t may be an
actual gain to know that we've got it and
must keep it from spreading.
There are some peculiarities about the
disease this year, as reported by the State
health authorities to the local authorities
The type is exceedingly mild, and persons
have been known to have it and recover
without the care Of physician; again, the
disease in such form may communicate a
malignant type which science and every
human precaution cannot stay.
Hence it behooves everybody to be ex-
ceedingly careful. On the first appearance
of illness the physician should be con-
suited; especially should this course be pur-
sued with children
There are several hundred cases of this
disease in Philadelphia. Avoid that town
as much as you can; buy your Christmas
goods at home to q greater extent than you
ever did before, thereby avoiding possibility
Of contact with the disease. If you are
not subscriber to your local paper become
one at once; cooperate and help the Board
OF Health in every way you can. They
can do good deal without your aid, but
they can't do it all. They expect much
censure, but their burden will be more
easily borne il they get little help.
Above all, don't get frightened; go to
church, to Sunday school, attend the
bazaars, suppers and vendues, and arrange
with Santa Claus to visit your house at the
appointed time.

A fire broke out over the lehrs of the
lower factory last Saturday afternoon,
shortly after the men had started from
work. 1t looked at one time as though
there would be confagration, as the entire
shed covering the lehrs, seemed to be a
fire. But fortunately the wind and rain
coming from the east, together with the
force of wOrkmen, who soon gathered, got
it under control. 1t is said the fire started
from one of the cupboards, where the
blowers keep their pipes, the pipes having
been put away before they were properly
cooled.

small-Pox Adjacent to Woodbury..

Last Monday Dr. Campbell reported to
the Board of Health that Gertrude, the
seven-year-old daughter of Frederick
Schultz, on Hessian Ave, in West Dept
ford township, was ill with smallpox, and
that he had also notified the Board of
Health of that township of the fact. The
Woodbury. Board of Health was interested
because the child, and two older sisters had,
up to Thursday evening last, been pupils
in the First Ward School.
A joint meeting of the City Boards OF
Health and Education was held in the
Academy Monday evening. Warner Under
wood of the Board of Health, was elected
chairman, and J. E. Estell, of the Board
of Education, secretary. Mr.. Underwood
stated the facts as he had learned them
from the physician, who was called to see
picions were aroused by the symptoms on
Saturday, but the disease was not suffi-
GENTLY developed to risk an opinion until
Monday. AS early as Saturday he had iso-
lated mother and child from the rest of the
family, and taken all precautions against
the disease spreading.
The West Deptford Board of Health met
Monday afternoon and took prompt action.
Two special O1ceTS were employed 10
guard the house and prevent persons going
out or coming in, and the physician was
given instructions to procure all family
necessaries. Mr.. Schultz has had small
pox, while the mother and three children
were vaccinated in Newark about three
years ago.
The joint meeting of the two Boards adj
iourned, and each held separate sessions.
The Board of Health recommended to the
Board of Education that the First Ward
school be closed for thirty-s hours from 8
O'Clock a. m. Tuesday to permit fumiga-
ton The Board of Education acted
promptly on this recommendation, and in
asmuch as the thirty-six hours required for
fumigation would extend to the closing
hour on Wednesday, and Thursday and
Friday are holidays, the Board resolved to
close the school the balance of the week.
1t is believed that the disease was COM
municated to the Schultz child by man
who came from the city two weeks ago to
get chrysanthemums at the Schultz place.
AS it was cold, he was invited in the house
to eat his lunch, and the girl recalls that a
strange odor pervaded him.

Thos L. Welsh made written complaint
that by reason of sewer construction, his
well had been rendered useless. He asked
for relief. On motion of Mr.. Best the
same was referred to the Solicitor for his
opinion as to the city's liability in the
matter.
The Solicitor advised that Council had
nothing to do in the matter Of the Lupton-
Trolley controversy.
Mr.. NJ. F. Cattell was given privilege OF
addressing Council, and after an explanation
of the request which brought the Solicitors
opinion, asked Council to give the curb and
grade lines at the point of the Lupton
property on North Broad street. On
motion of Mr.. Sithens, the Surveyor was
authorized to give the grade and curb lines
as requested by Mr.. Cattell.
Mr.. Best said that some time last sum-
mer, Council made increases in assessments
and sent bills of increase. For some rea-
son, some persons did not do things they
ought to have done and the increases were
not legal Some tax payers had paid these
bills, aud some had not. 1t was not fair to
retain the excess in these cases. and on his
motion the several amounts, aggregating
$36. II, were ordered returned.
