FOR CHRISTMAS

Now Chrisimastide is drawing near
And each one whom your heart holds dea
Is planning for you some surprise,
In shape of gift; if you are wise
You'll do the same. True love begets
The love OF him on whom it sets
It's fond regard; and you should do
BY them as they will do by you.
Don't send bulky Christmas gift,
Something which they can scarcely lift;
An opal set into pin,
Or diamond rings, their hearts will win;
And there are silver sugar shells
For married ones; the strongest spells
Are woven by such things as these,
And one selects such things with ease.
If YOU have not decided yet
The kind Of present you will get,
Whether OF brooch, or pin, Or ring,
Let Lechenger suggest the thing

RIOT on THE BEACH
Campers Attacked by TOughs and a Fierce
Conflict RDsned

The members Of the Fifth Ward
Social Club. Of Chester. who were
camping down at Woodland Beach for
about one week, were set upon by a
gang of toughs from Philadelphia ON
Saturday. and for a time a small sized
riot was in progress. When an inven-
tory was taken, after the clouds had
rolled by. There were a number OF
blackened eyes, bruised arms and dam
aged wardrobes. One man. said to be
Kelly" a well-known pugilist from
the Quaker City. had an eve knocked
out with a billiard cue, in the hands
Of some one unknown. The Fifth
warders. who numbered about fifteen
came out with colors flying, not a man
being seriously hurt.
The trouble was precipitated, It is
said, while some of the Chester men
we're having their pictures taken at a
local photograph gallery. John Fildes
of Eighth and Potter streets. Chester
1t is stated, looked at the finished work
and remarked that they were "cross.
eyed. There happened to be an in.
dividual Of the Philadelphia gang who
unfortunately was endowed by nature
with a pair of optics answering thi.
description, and thinking Fildes' re
mark was intended as a reflection OF
him, he got mad. Fildes apologizet
and the matter was fixed up.
Later the Chester man was watkins
with young woman. when thl
stranger and several others strucl
Fildes. A little later the matter wal
renewed in a barroOm. where a crow,
of Philadelphians congregated. Thing
looked serious for a time. but coole
heads prevailed and the turmoil ceased
Among those in the party beside

WASHED FROM THEIR GRAVES
AWiaI Result Of CIOudburSt at Madison,
New Jersey

Madison. N. j., Aug. 12.-With
scarcely a warning a cloudburst broke
over Madison Sunday night, and with
in a short time had spread ruin on
every side. Roads became rivers,
bridges were swept away, and, most
terrible OF all, the Presbyterian ceme-
terry, on the west of the town, was
flooded and hundreds of bodies were
washed from the graves. News Of
the calamity spread, and soon nearly
thousand men were at work trying
to secure the cofins with the bodies
in them from the rush of waters.
In many cases the rescuers were
prevented by the flood from doing
anything. but about a hundred
corpses were taken from the water
and carried to dry land. Undertak-
ers from all over the county were
summoned, and disinfectants were
freely used to prevent any pestilence.
In many cases there was no way of
Identifying the bodies which were
washed out of the collins, and they
will have to be inferred again as
nameless persons.
The country for miles around is
all excitement, and thousands Of peo-
pie are on the scene looking for
traces of their dead
Besides the destruction of the Gene
terry the tracks of the Lackawanna
Road west of Madison was destroyed
by a washout and one train was
wrecked as a result The engine over
turned and the brakeman was killed
and the conductor and engineer per-
haps fatally injured. The roads are
impossible to vehicles for miles in ev-
cry direction.
