although still holding his legal resi-
denee IN New Hope. He conducted II
restaurant in New Hope for over fifty
years. While resident of that borough
he had been member of council, school
trustee, etc, and was Mt one time state
fish warden.
Mr.. Stockton WAS greatly interested
in fire company affairs and was at the
time Of his death and had been from
the time TINT officer was created by
conncil (some years since) chief engi-
neer of the New Hope fire department.
He had been member of the Eagle
Fire Co. for fifty three years, and re-
manned an active member until his
death.
During the civil war, upon the in

Emergency" company WAS raised in

FROM THE FIRST WARD.

The Emerald Society has rented the
vacant lot on South Main street from
the Water Power Company and is
levellng and grading it for baseba
ground, where they intend to practice
their athletic ability during the spring
and summer, and no doubt we may
witness some good sporty games ere
the summer is over.
Geo. w. Akers met with painful
accident last Thursday morning while
attending to his duties as foreman at
the rubber mill A heavy bar or pipe
slipped from its place and fell upon his
foot, injuring the great toe and other
wise doing considerable damage to his
foot, causing him to remain home for
few days.
The gang of hoodlums has been tax
ing their usual drunk the past week,
to the disgust of all law abiding citi-
zens. If ever there was any need of
day policeman, now il the accepted
time. This gang should be run in, to
keep them off the streets. Thirty days
in Pennington would be thirty days of
relief and they deserve every hour of
1T. The sooner the better. They are
past any manner of reform and the
sooner the town is rid Of them the
better.
Real life is found in all its realities
out in the country, in May, June and
July. In the cities it is generally
covered up under a coating of artificial
veneering and ia left bare only in the
SUNNY districts and in the privacy of
many better homes, after the visitors
have all left and the family is sum
ming mp the financial resources and
laying plans to stop up the many
domestic leaks where the money oozes
away. The ideal life for which we all
sigh, is as evanescent as our dreams.
1t is but the shadow of what we'd like
to be; the intangible substance of the
hope that may never be realized. In
the ideal life we have always plenty of
all the good things, and are not obliged
to practice economy until the trousers
bottom of our hope is worn through
and all the Injuries leak ont like it
does while living the real old thing,if |
dare use such an expression. Ideal life
is all II delusion. yet we all humble
ourselves with the ideal in order to
make the real little smoother and
softer aud warmer and sweeter aud
lighter and happier. The real thing is
raw and rough and cold and bitter and
hard and heavy and cheerless, unless
we can work our dream mill and grind
out ideal flour to mix with the coarse
meal of stern realities and make n
sugar coating for the corn-pone of
everyday life.
