head were terribly cut and bruised. He
was tenderly gathered up by his COM

Refused to Ride.

About 20 or % union workmen at the
Crystal glass works, at Bridgeport, re-
fused to ride on a car run by non
union employees. There was no Vio-
lence shown, they just simply stated
that they would not ride, and waited
for the next car. There are but very
few non-union men on this division

Floyd Kempte and John Bayles, who
started for the pines in canoe for brief
vacation, returned home on Wednesday.
Their trip was cut short by the heavy
rain.
Both young men are druggists of un-
questionable reputation for truthfulness,
and what they say ought to be believed by
their friends and the public generally, and
no doubt it will be, because Kempte in
particular has an aversion for anything
that is not true in telling fish story,
Here is what he says concerning their ex-
perience:
1--WE started from Hacks boat house
with the sun shining brightly. The sky
was unmarked by even a single cloud,
and we found ourselves in a high state OF
excitement over the anticipated pleasure
which we expected when we reached the
border of civilization.
"By the time we arrived at New Lisbon
the rain was coming down in torrents.
1t poured so hard that the water washed
all the freckles off my arms. We were
drenched to the skin, but this did not de-
ter us from carrying out our programme.
We kept padding on, stopping occasion
ally to empty the water out of our canoe.
Our food became water-soaked and we
had to content ourselves for day with
chewing gum, as we had nothing else to
eat.
''The further up we proceeded the mar
rover the stream became, and finally our
progress was impeded by what appeared
to be corduroy road, so thick were the
logs and stumps of fallen trees, and we
were compelled to cut a passage through
John was up in the bow slashing with an
axe, while I was aft trying to catch some
fish. Suddenly something grabbed my
line and off it went, pole and all.
While grieving over the loss of my pole,
which belonged to Pop, John screamed
which caused peculiar sensation to pass
over me. Presently / saw huge black
snake about six inches in diameter and
ten feet long pass close by the boat. That
made me feel glad that / wasn't married
because l thought my time had come, and
l wouldn't like to leave pretty young
widow for some other fellow to look after.
The serpent splashed around in the water,
darting its ponderous head in defiance to-
ward the canoe and making faces just as
though its medicine was bitter. / didn't
know what to make of this until John ex-
planned that he had been chopping the
sDake under the impression that it was
the limb of tree.
''The removal of this obstruction enabled
us to proceed, and we started off at
lively gait. While turning to go up
very narrow stream we struck and cut in
half sun fish as large as your hat. The
speed of the boat sent one half of the fish
up on the bank, the other flew into the air
and landed in John'slap. That's no joke,
either.
In the cranberry boys we saw pike as
large as young sturgeon. They would
look at us with sort of cynical grin and
then shoot out into deeper water. Mos
quitoes were numerous and unusually
large. We caught six of them trying to
carry the flag pole away from Joseph ].
Whites cranberry store house. The rain
compelled us to return home, which we
did with a determination to give the
weather man some knockout drops in his
next prescription"

Mrs. Ai1ien Speaks.

Mrs. Lillian B. Allen signalized her re
turn to Rancocas stock farm, the gift tt
her of Pierre Lorillard, by making Wed
nesday the first statement which has conn
from her in answer to the bitter accusation
of the Lorillard family.
Il have kept silence under the viles
calumny, but now shall speak for thu
first and last time.
During my acquaintance with Mr.
Lorillard, / acted as his secretary II,
treated me more as man friend than as
woman. 1t was pure companionship.
'In my capacity as secretary, suffered
of course, the deepest social humiliation
woman could endure. Even Mr.. Lori
lard's great influence could not prevent
that
''Those who know the true basis of Mr.
Lorillard's trust in me have not ceased tt
give their unaltered respect to his memory
or to me"
rs it true. she was asked, that you
have sold the Rancocas estate back to the
family of the late Mr.. Lorillard 2"
Absolutely, no, was Mrs ALIENS
prompt reply.
Shall you retain the property and de-
velop the resources of the Lorillard racing
stable p
II have not yet sufficiently recovered
from my amazement over Mr.. Lorillard's
gift to have any definite ideas of what !
shall do regarding the Rancocas property.
Personally, I should be glad to have it re-
main in the hands of the Lorillard family,
but Mr.. Lorillard's will-that clause of it
which disposed of the farm-indicates that
he had other views"
Mrs. ALLEN spoke the name of the dead
millionaire with indescribable gentleness
of tone, and she pronounced it in two
syllables as If it were spelled 'Lollard."
why do you think Mr.. Lorillard made
you the legatee of Rancocas ~
During my acquaintance with Mr..
Lorillard | acted as his secretary. Of late
years he entrusted me with the transac-
ton of the greater part of the business
relating to his farm and stables here and
abroad.
1T has been said that Mr.. Lorillard be-
queathed me Rancocas from desire to
humiliate his family by bringing them to
my feet to supplicate the purchase of the
farm and stables.
Nothing could be more untrue. Mr..
Lorillards nature was too generous to per-
NIT him to visit humiliation on his own
flesh and blood. Furthermore, no one is
better aware than his family of the inno-
cence of the comradeship between Mr.
Lorillard and myself"
