terday a rather funny incident occurred
in the home of well known resident
on the Heights. The gentleman referred
to is a relative of former Mayor of this
city. He was on a fishing trip on Sat
urday and was so fatigued Catching
fish that he decided to sleep late in the

the storm came up. As the heavens
grew darker and darker his wife. feeling
nervous, went to his room to wake
him.
"Come, dear, get up" she called.
There is terrible storm approaching"
The only response was grunt, fol-
lowed by such phrases as Get away
from my line" "Give me some more
bait,o and sI'll catch 'em this time or III
know the reason why
"Come, get up" repeated the wife.

Several years ago Corporation Coun-
sci George L. Record of Jersey City
visited Middlesex County and made a
profound impression as a speaker for
Democratic tariff reform. Last year he
again spoke at the place. but for the
Republican cause. In speaking of the
visits an old time resident of Cranbury
said to a News" reporter the other
day :--"When he came here first we lis
tened with respect to what we thought
were the honest convictions of an honest
Democrat, but when he came the second
time and tried to talk the other way, al
though what he said agreed with our con-
yictions, we had no use for the man and
were surprised when we learned that
Jersey City Republicans had seen fit to
honor him by appointment to high and
remunerative office. In Middlesex man
is a Republican or Democrat. and
can't straddle in day or year. If he
does. we know and mark him. Give me
country Republicans in preference to the
city article labeled by that name."

and great quantity Of milk also turned
sour.
