THREE years seems long time to look
ahead to, but it soon rolls around. 1t NAV
be early to begin to talk about the next
election for Steward of the Almshouse,
but it is not at all out of place to consider
some matters in connection with the insti-
tuition. Taking the election just ended as
sample. we may be certain that the
Democrats will watch every point and
take every advantage in the matter of ex-
penditure TO throw discredit upon the
present management. 1t will be well,
therefore, for the people of Burlington
county to bear one point in mind. There
are improvements and repairs actually aud
badly needed at the almshouse and they
must be attended to. 1t would have made
no difference who was elected Steward,
the necessity would still have remained.
One end of the building is almost ready to
fall out. 1t would take very little effort
to push the entire side wall down. A
new ice house must be built, certain
drains must be repaired, and other things
must be considered. When everything is
considered this is not an alarming state of
affairs, it is merely the demands of time.
1t has been many years since any great
improvements or repairs have been made
and it is not reasonable to suppose that a
building as old as the almshouse can go
on much longer, in fact it is wonderful
how little it has taken to keep it in habi-
table shape We call attention to this
matter now that all cries of extravaganza
and recklessness may be discounted in ad-
vance.

first words following the usual salu-
tation. 81 said l required man of

"Well, has he proved otherwiseT
"Why, man, he is drunk all of the
time; In fact, l do not think he has
drawn a sober breath since he has
been with me-"
"Then what are you jumping on me

Just what l told you about him. l

Can woman give to another woman
the answering loyalty which an ideal
friendship should exact9 Will a woman
be faithful to her friend not merely while
she is her friend, but afterl If for any
reason, Jealousy or envy or the poison of
suspicion part the two, will each be loyal
to the past, keep its secrets and respect its
obligations? If ever two men who have
once been friends wear out their friendship
and perhaps exchange it for open enmity,
they still respect the tie that has been
broken. For the future, they will strike
as hard as they are able, but in doing so
they will not violate their old friendship,
nor use the opportunities which it gives
them for inflicting pain-but is this the
case with woman Does honor mean the
same to a man as to a woman? These are
some of the questions which Rafford Fyke
asks in the article he contributes to the
November Cosmopolitan ON what Wo-
men Like in Women" To bring a sketch
of John Milton within the compass on
single hour seems much like attempting
the feat, described by Jules Verne, of max
ing the journey round the world In eighty
days-and, indeed, there are very few au-
thors capable of adding anything new or
interesting to the story of Millions life
and work. The late professor Fiske. how
ever, brings to the task his characteristic
broadness of view and lucidity of express
sion, and the Cosmopolitan is fortunate in
being able to include in its Nov ember
number paper on the great poet, left un-
published at the time of Professor Fiske's
death.

Eta Dodging Comes From the Ances-
trail Method of Avoiding Foes.
The fight Of the snipe is swift, vigor-
Gus and usually for the first few yards
erratic. The bird gets under way
smartly, and as usual thing goes bor-
ing up wind In a style rather sug-
gestive Of a feathered corkscrew. A
series of electrical zigzags get him to
top speed, whereupon his progress
steadies a bit and he darts away in
something more like a Straight line AS
q general rule a flushed bird springs a
few feet into the air, hangs for the
fraction of a second, then begins to
twist and dodge as though the Old Boy
was at his tail 1t would be very in
teresting could we discover the original
cause Of the lodging. Possibly some
ancient foe, now long extinct, was best
baf1ed by that mode of flight, for
there usually is some such explanation
for peculiar actions by wild things.
Because the flight happens to be puz-
King to gunner is no guarantee that
the bird lodges for that purpose-such
an explanation would imply a deal
more intelligence than the entire tribe
Of snipe are possessed Of Snipe, of
course, lodged on the wing long prior
to the appearance of firearms, and it
is extremely unlikely that the erratic
flight has anything in the nature of
protective tactics against the devices of
human foes.-Edwyn Sandys in Out

ONE OF the worst defeats in last Tues
days election was that administered to
Carl Lentz, Republican candidate for
Sheriff in Essex county. The candidate
Tor State Senator was elected by 5000 ma
Jority, but Major Lentz was turned down
by nearly 1000. The Republicans of Es-
sex have nobody but themselves to blame
Tor this result. For years Carl Lentz has
been ruling the affairs of the party in that
county, and the men bers have quietly
submitted. His record. so unsavory as to
cause him to be brought before the court,
was well known, and the fact that he was
boss, for his own benefit mainly, was no
secret Yet he was tolerated and was al
lowed to push himself upon the ticket
only to be spurned by the good people at
the polls Lentz has been a despotic boss
and there will not be any sorrow anywhere
over the fact that he has been given a
wholesome drubbing. 1t is to be hoped
he will heed the warning and step down
and out of politics. If he does not the
leaders of the party should take hold and
see that he goes into retirement 1t is
said movement is already on foot to re-
elect him chairman of the county commit
tee. If the Republicans of Essex, with
the lesson of Tuesday before them, per-
NIT Lentz to continue in this important
position, they deserve to be again defeated
at the polls.

one who has met with the accident of
having a rusty nail thrust into his foot

the Democrats of Burlington county were
In so far as the office of Steward of the

Lnelr energies towards the defeatsx George
4. Harbert and SO earnestly did they
work and SO faithfully did they prophesy
success that they actually thought they
nad nothing to do but to wait for the
votes to be counted. With this idea i'm
Dedded in their brains they became bold
and somewhat reckless They issued an
anonymous circular replete with fictitious
ngures and bald misstatements. They
oVerdid the matter and the circular came
back with the force of boomerang. The
people showed their disapproval of such
methods as well as their confidence In
steward Harbert. who was reelected by
majority that substantially endorses his
administration of affairs at the county in

gratulations over his handsome victory.
