Ii has been reported in certain parts of
the state that the health of Senator John
+. Dryden is so poor that many think he
will consider his retirement from the
United States Senate. 1t seems almost
needless to say that this statement is with
out the slightest foundation. Nothwith
standing the stress of the campaign, Mr..
Dryden was in better health after his
election to the Senate than ever before.
After his election he Immediately went
into the Senate and has worked assiduous-
ly on the various committees to which he
was appointed. Owing to slight touch
of malaria and the severe illness of one of
the members of his family, Senator Dry
den considered it advisable to go to his
summer home at Bernardsville, N. j., for
short rest, and after recuperating for a
few days, he went to Newark to give some
attention to his personal affairs and to
visit the office of The Prudential Insur-
ance Company, of which he is the Presi-
dent. Senator Dryden is in splendid
health. He has certainly not the slight
est intention of retiring, and will soon re-
turn to his duties in Washington to stay
until the close of the session.

QuIrE a difference exists in the situati

QUITE adherence exists in the situation
In the First and Second Congressional
Districts In the latter we have harmony
and are united on a candidate. In the
former there is a spirited contest between
Congressman Loudenslager and J. A.
Vansant. There are many Republicans in
the First District who think the time has
arrived to retire Congressman Louden-
sla ger, feeling that is shared by num-
Der of persons in other districts, but there
is question whether Vansant is the man
to tie to for the purpose. His efforts to
disrupt the Republican party in Camden
have not been forgotten. 1t would be a
good thing if both of these aspirants
could be put on the shelf, and good,
straightforward Republican named As
matters now stand Vansant seems to be in
the lead. In the event of either of the
two being successful there will be much
guessing over the result at the polls.

ALFRED'S PLUCK.

II should like to meet tiger when he's
dashing through the street;
While to face a hippopotamus would truly
be a treat
I hunger for adventure, and long with all
my soul
For dangers in the Tropics or excitement
at the Pole"
So sang my nephew Alfred, when I met
him every day,
And in my ears the echo Of that dreadful
song would stay.
Till one fine morn in April, when the skies
were very blue,
I took my nephew Alfred on a visit to the
With buns and crispy biscuits, and, acidu-
lated drops,
We stood upon the pathway where the
dromedary stops.
But as the creature neared US, Alfred cried
in timid mood:
Il rather think the elephant is more in
clined for food"
So quickly we departed and we sought an
other road: e
And presently the elephant approached us
with his load.
I saw that Master Alfred was as pale as
pale could be-
And, when the trunk was rolling out, he
gave the buns to me.
80 GOMEZ said I, "such ways as this will
never, never do!
An elephant can't terrify so brave boy as
you?"
But Alfred kicked and, wriggled, and he
yelled with all his might
And vanished round a corner, where he
tremble6i with alright
YET:
This Is what he tells me every morning that
we meet:

down the street
I hunger for adventure, and I crave with

ELEPHANT AS A NURSE.
Zip Pushes a Baby's Carrisze More

The large and sagacious elephant

often frivolous nurse maid.
In India the elephant has long
been employed to take care of chill
dren. The experiment has now been
tried in this country with success.

The Eyes of a Lion.

One night when some troopers were
encamped in South Africa, it came the
turn of Rennie Stevenson to go for wa
ter to the spring, which was about a
thousand yards distant. He describes
the experiences in his booy, Through
Rhodesia." A comrade volunteered to
accompany him. When they were near
ing the spring, this man whispered to
Stevenson:
"There's a lion skulking in the un-
derbrush on the right bank"
Yes, there were it's eyes, gleamin g
through the dark.
"Shall I fre?" whispered the sol
der.
eyes, fire, but take good aim. II
you only wound it, We will be done
for"
The trooper knelt and took long,
steady aim.
Bang! The sound of the shot re-
verberated through the surrounding
trees and up the river. But there were
the eyes, still cleaning.
Stevenson asked for the rifle and
crawled nearer, trying to get better
shot. Closer and closer went the two
their hearts in their mouths. Sud
denly, when they thought they were al.
most in the face of the "lion," they
found the "eyes" to be two glowworms

beetles, and so are those splendid
golden fellows we call Junebugs.
Sometimes when you are walking
along beneath the trees perhaps you
will meet a stag beetle with his fine
large horns.
If you come across dead bird or
field mouse lying on the roadside, you
must turn it over and see the burying
beetles at work. They are very busy
creatures and very useful to us be-
cause as soon as any little animal
dies they gather round it in great
crowds and dig out the earth from un-
der it until there is hole deep enough
for it to sink down into. Then it is
carefully covered up, and when they
are hungry they go where there is a
hearty meal waiting for them.
There are beetles that live in the
ponds and brooks, too. They are
called whirligigs and boatmen, and
are fine divers and swimmers.
All the beetles have hard, shining
coats of mail. These are only the COW
erg to their wings, and when they
want to fly they open the wing covers
in the middle and spread out their
soft, gauzy wings that they keep fold

tual to the moment, only to find that
Hayle had not yet arrived. For a
minute I was tempted to wonder
whether he had given me the slip
again, but while the thought was
passing through my mind cab
drove up, and the gentleman himself
alighted.

ing you waiting" he said, apologet-
ically. GAS your host I should have
been here first. That would have
been the case had I not been de-
tanned at the last momehs by an
old friend. Pray forgive mel"
I consented to do SO, and we en-
tered the restaurant together.
I discovered that he had already
engaged a table, arranged the menu,
and bespoken the wines. We ac-
cordingly sat down, and the strangest
meal of which I had ever partaken
commenced. Less than week be-
fore the man sitting in front of me
had endeavored to bring about my
destruction; now he was my host,
and to all outward appearances my
friend as we'll. I found him a most
agreeable companion, a witty con-
versationalist, and born raconteur.
He seemed to have visited every part
Of the known globe; had been a
sailor, revolutionist in South
America, blackbirder in the Pacific,
had seen something of what he
called the "pig-tail trade to Borneo,
some very queer life in India, that is
to say, in the comparatively I'M
known native states, and had come
within an ace of having been shot by
the French during the war in NADIA

BUSINESS CONSCIENCE.
Queer Distinction Made by London
Clock Makers in Some of
Their Work.

The Sunday morals of many COM
munity are an improvement upon
those of ordinary work days. Some
how conscience seems to sleep when
the hand is busy, particularly if the
hand be employed upon some profit
able work. A London artist tells Of a
curious incident that came under his
notice some little while ago, says
Youths Companion.
81 had IN old English bracket clock
that took myself to wholesale firm
of clock-makers to be repaired. Whilst
in the shop 1 noticed peculiar piece
of mechanism, the purpose of which
puzzled me, SO I sought for informa-
ton.
"'Oh!' replied one Of the firm, that's
a special order for temple in China;
it is to work an idol and make him
move
presumably that clock-maker was
an excellent Christian in his own esti.
nation. I do not know whether there
was anything in my look that he con-
sidered called for an explanation, but
he added:
"'Business is business, you know.
You'd be astonished to learn what fun.
ny orders we have sometimes in our
trade. Only the other day firm asked
us if we would make some imitation
genuine" Elizabethan clocks; they
sent us one to copy. But we replied
declining, merely saying that we had
so far conducted our business honestly.
and intended always to do So
$50, according to the ethics of our
informant, it is not dishonest to make
clockwork intended secretly to make
an idol move, but it is dishonest to
make imitation medieval clocks!"
