Fire at Bar nepat.

The business portion of Barnegat vii
lage was nearly wiped out by fire Sunday
afternoon. The burned portion of the
town is on the south side of Bay avenue,
the principal business street. During a
heavy shower lightning struck telephone
wire and ran off on the ground wire at
Benjamin Predmore's store, setting on fire
an oil tank in the cellar. The village has
no fire apparatus and nothing with which
to fight fire, except buckets and water
from wells and cisterns.
The fire burned Benjamin Predmore's
store and dwelling, Inman's bakery,
owned by II. c. Gulick, W. G. Conrad's
lumber yard, J. Horace Sprague's general
store and Benjamin Predmore's dwelling
house, besides Predmore's and Sprague's
barns and the barns belonging to Abram
Fort and ]. F. Stevenson
William Cox owned the store occupied
by Sprague, and also the buildings OF
Conrad's lumber yard and hardware store.
The lumber yard and buildings were in
sured for about $4,000.

Vincentown.

Last Wednesday afternoon our Lum
berton friends came over to the ''old camp
woods to hold picnic and have a good
time generally. They brought with them
their base ball team, whose program in
cluded among other good things, the de
feat of our local team as part OF the
days sport. When our boys sized up the
visitors and found they had imported two
of Mount Holly's best players and one
from Pemberton, they were not over-san-
guine of success, but it is characteristic of
the Vincentown boys to tackle anything
they see, so they shed all surplus clothing
and went in. Darwoods pitching, Cline's
catching, and the hard batting of the
home team began to tell from the start,
and soon the visitors began to scent a
peculiar and unpleasant odor which be-
came more and more pronounced as the
game progressed, until at the close OF the
last inning it was unanimously pronounced
a skunk" The score stood 10 to 0 in
favor of the home team. The Lumber
ton boys had their picnic" in the woods,
but met their 'fWaterloo" in the field.
When they have recovered from their
surprise and have picked up few points
in the game our boys will meet them on
their own grounds and give them an OPP
portunitv to redeem their good name.

Keith,s Continuous Variety.

Mcintyre and Heath, who are credited
with having drawn the largest audiences
of the summer season, will remain at
Keith's for another dozen performances.
Certainly no IS minutes of any comedy
produced here in year has more laugh
able matter than has any of the sketches
in the repertoire of this team. 'sThe
Georgia Minstrels." which will be revived
this week, is regarded by many as their
| best piece. But they are not lone laugh
makers, for the comedy department pro-
misses to be as strong as in any summer
bills. Jess Dandy promises several new
parodies that have been highly successful
in the other Keith houses. Bush and
Gordon, the Casino comedy four and
Claude Thardo are others whose work is
highly amusing There will be doubtless
an ovation for Chevalior Albert L. Guile,
one of the foremost male vocalists in
vaudeville The marvellous Hoopers are
said to make one believe that hoops are
alive. BERTHE Fowler is an expert come
dienne and story teller; the De Muths and
O'Rourke and Burnett will delight lovers
of dancing; while the biograph's pictures
will include the Penn-I. eander race. open
ing of the Glasgow Exhibition and yacht
Shamrock's disaster. Mansfield and Will
bur will be seen in their clever little play,
ga Bird and Bottle" in which they
have heretofore scored strongly wi tn
Keithites. and Collins and Madell will be
seen in new farce which is said to be
highly entertaining.

pie believed that candy was harmful.
but that notion was set aside; and 1t
is declared really benefcial-of course,
when eaten at the proper time, In

materials. Homemade candies are al
ways pure, the best materials are used
and the cost is much less than is paid
for the same grade in the stores. 1t
is nice plan to make your own
Christmas candies, and you can send
boxes away to your friends who Will
prize things made for them much more
than anything bought
To send candies away they should
be made to look as dainty and pretty
as possible. Fancy baskets can be
cheaply bought that will be pretty
after the candy is used, and lined with
waxed paper over fringed inner lin
ing or some delicate colored tis-
sue paper. In packing place waxed

the basket is filled wrap the edges OF
the lining paper over the top SO that
the candies are covered, then gather
the fringed tissue paper into rosette.

half pint of shelled and blanched pea

Pour into buttered pans and mark off

To blanch nuts is to remove the fine
skin which covers the nut under the
shell. This will easily rub off in pea

cover the nuts with boiling water, and
let them stand until the dark skin
will easily rub off. then put them into

THE DAY OF DAYS.

A thousand years have come and gone.
And near n thousand more,
Since happier light from heaven shone
Than ever shone before;
And in the hearts of old and young
A joy most joyful stirred,
That sent such news from tongue to
tongue
AS ears had never heard.
And we are glad, and we will sing,
AS in the days of yore;
Come ALL and hearts made ready bring,
To welcome back once more
The day when first on wintry earth
A summer change began.
And dawning on n lonely birth,
Uprose the Light of man.

TALKS ON ADVERTISING.

The best way to advertise Is just tc
advertise. Get at it with a view to hav.
ing the people know what you most
desire to SELL and incidentally letting
them know that the specified Items dc
not represent your full stock. Say in.
teresting things about interesting goods
and have the goods to talk.
Men talk of the secret of successful
advertising, but it is all very plain.Tht
essentials are to offer what people
want. at fair prices, and to offer 1t IL
a way that will make readers know
they want it. The art in writing ar
advertisement is to speak as the inter.
ested and wcll-informed merchant
would speak to a prospective customer
The mere appearance of business
mans name and address in every issue
of leading newspaper will do work to
increase his trade. Every business man,
however, is able to give facts about his
establishment which will encourage
people to deal with him. To state such
facts clearly in a newspaper is the prin-
cipal secret of successful advertising.
The idea that it takes a number of
Impressions to make the average ad-
yertisement effective is not new. Forty
years ago an English advertiser said
to the publisher of the Cornhill Maga-
zine: 1--WE don't consider that an ad-
yertisement seen for the first time by
a reader is worth much. The second
time it counts for something. The third
time the readers attention is arrested;
the fourth time he reads it through and
thinks about it; the fifth makes pur-
chaser Of him. 1t takes time to soak
in."

very confined and necessarily
strict and severe. There is the
suggestion of prison in the steel

On Christmas, for once in the year at
least, all rules, of which there are SO
many on board battleship, are
thrown to the winds and the jackies
are given the entire freedom of the

en- them is that they can spend the day
exactly as they like. and take any lib
critics they choose short of blowing up
the ship.
1t sometimes happens when the ship
is in some attractive port that the
sailors prefer to spend the day on
land, and they are of course always
granted leave of absence. 1t is sell
dom, however, that the ship Is SO de-
serted that the cabins are not for the
time converted into a veritable pande-
monium. There is no formal celebra-
ton of the day ordered by the gov
