in the morning. His brother remembered
that during the night William arose from
his bed where they were sleeping togeth-

At about 6 o'clock his parents arose.
and noticing that the boy was not in bed
searched for him. He was discovered
hanging from the rafters in the barn. His
father ran at once for physician. The
doctor found that the body was still limp
and warm, and cut it down at once, but
all his efforts to resuscitate the lad were
in vain.
The boy had evidently fastened the rope
to the rafters, and then around his neck,
and swung off the floor into space. His
feet were below the loose poles which
formed the floor of the now
The boy was 16 years old and was the
Oldest son. He had always been of stu

genius Last winter while skating, he

in annoying him in every way. Frying

The pecember Lippincort.

Miss Maude Roosevelt, a cousin of the
President and an actress as well of eonsid-
cradle vogue, contributes the monthly
complete novel to the Christmas number
of LtppI1lc0tt'S Magazine. ''The Price of
Fame" proves that fiction is by no means
the least of Miss Roosevelt's accomplish
ments. She turns a brilliant searchlight
on New York society life which reveals
the good and the bad with infinite skill.
The evolution of Helen Mortimer country
bred girl with an imaginative tempera-
ment-into an actress of the first rank,
through the most treacherous act man
may commit, is the pivotal point in this
novel of exciting episodes that end de-
lightfully.
In addition to the complete novel in the
Christmas number of LippincOtt's Magazine
there are many short stories, several
papers suited to the glad season, much
good verse. and the usual diverting wal
nuts and Wine"
Thomas Cobb's long-short story entitled
Lady Della" shows what risks a pretty
girl takes when she masquerades as a
housemaid. Thomas Cobb is the author
of 1.-The Dissemblers, which so much di-
verified Lippinc0tt's readers as a complete
novel.
The Attack on the Chaise," by II. B.
Marriott Watson, is a romance of fine
ladies and brave men, duel, and HUI
morous ending. This is told in manner
which has made the author famous both
in this country and abroad "a Volun-
tary Exile" by Jennette Lee, is story of
country woman who had the time of
her life in the possession of an automo-
bile, and incidentally almost the time of
her death. E. Ayrton writes from Lon
don story called "Cinderella's Sisters, y
in which the taread resembles the dearly
loved fairy tale, in that while two sisters
are quarrelling over a desirable man the
third carries off the prize. In Miss Ayr
tons story there is a fourth girl in the
race to whom the climax is somewhat try
ing.
A Christmas story from the pen of Ed
win L. Sabin is that called THE Littlest
Boy and Santa Claus" This is not ex-
clusively juvenile, for the grown ups
cannot fail to enjoy knowing how Santa
was caught by boy" in the very act.

Union street, announce the engagement of
their daughter, Edna Elizabeth, to David
Spangler, of Philadelphia, Pa.
The Court of Errors and Appeals has

D'Olier bought land and erected dwell
ing on some of this property. The Saw.
ings Institution held mortgage upon the
entire Silver Lake property, but released
the land sold to Mrs. D'Olier. She after.
wards bought three acres which ran back
to one of the lakes. This purchase in
cluded the right to fish and cut ice. At {

Tuckerton Terrapin.

1t may not be generally known that
while they are not as plentiful as they
once were, some of the finest terrapin to
be found in the country still crawl through
the marsh grasses and along the ocean bay
shores of Atlantic and Ocean counties
In Atlantic the men who grow and sell
the terrapin have the local market to
themselves, and along the Barnegat and
Tuckerton coasts the natives find the pro-
duct none too large for their own CON
sumption as rule, so that Jersey terrapin
seldom gets into the markets of the big
cities.
But that Jersey still grows terrapin nd
that they equal the diamond backs of
Maryland or any other terrapin country,
Governor Murphy is ready to affirm and
defend at all times.
An occasional visitor to the state house
is Captain John t. Burton, of Tuckerton.
former member of the Ocean county
oyster commission, and an authority on
sea food, politics and matters appertaining
to shore life and pursuits. There is moth
ing the captain likes better than to dilate
On the resources of Ocean county. and
prominent men of the state for years have
often had their table enriched by contribu-
lions shipped from the captains oyster
house on Tuckerton creek.
There was suspicious bullying in the
captains pockets when he walked into the
state house one day recently, and without
hesitation proceeded to the door of the
governors private office.
Governor, called the captain from the
door, in low voice, and with twinkle
in his eye, do you like terrapin?"
Certainly l do. " responded the execu-
tive, 'Did you ever know Jerseyman
who didn't
well. thought maybe you did," re-
marked Captain Burton, as he advanced
into the room, fumbled in his pockets for
moment and produced from each peck
ct small crawler, which he deposited
on the governors polished cherry desk.
The operation was repeated until six
lively terrapin were scrambling about
among the official documents and CORES
pondence, and the governor and his visitor
had their hands full keeping the creatures
within bounds until Sam Gordon, sum-
moned by the push button under the desk, |
came with a basket and gathered them up. |
Governor Murphy said that the terrapin
which he had sent home TO have cooked,
were the finest he had ever seen.
