stein.s.

Messrs Bernstein 6 Co. have pro-

Of the little ones in their stores at Nos.
AZ, Al, so and 50 Newark avenue, which
will be of interest to the grown folk as
well. 1t viii be on exhibition for two
weeks In. the rear of the store a place
has been set apart where an automatic
is perfect in every detail and is the in
vention of Mr.. Henry Pallesen, who
worked for over seven years to complete
it. The scheme of the city is that of a
summer resort. People are seen dancing
on platform, merry go-rounds are in
operation, grist mills working, black
smiths shoeing horses, trains arriving
and departing from the railroad station,
boats being rowed on miniature lake,
people going into church, and in fact
every scene which would be seen in a
summer resort is depicted with he figures
moving in the most natural manner.
eThe children are 10th to leave the store
after they have once heep shown the au-
tomato city and remain by its side untii
forced to leayeA by mothers who have
other business tA attend te. There are
over one hundred and fifty figures in op-
Grafton, and to thoroughly view the en-
tire city it takes at least half an hour.
The smallest detail is complete even to
having flock of pigeons flying through
the air. Mr.. Pallesen is personally in
attendance, and ever ready to answer the
questions of the little ones, which are
numerous. They want to know all about
it. and more than one hoy has expressed
his intentions Of building city just like
it when he becomes a man. One even
went so far as to enquire the price. and
say that he would have his father buy it.

Banta's Glass Eye Causes
a Mix Up Worthy Shake

Boulevard Commissioner Daniel Y.
Lewis has a farm at HilIsdale, Bergen
County. and raises more feed than his
own horses can eat. Being well known
horseman, he has made it business TO-
winter the blooded stock Of his friends.
A few days ago John McAusland sent
three of his driving horses to the farm
in charge of William Kopf and Robert
Burns, and al went well with them until
they arrived at Mr.. Lewis's place.
Mr.. Lewis aid his family are now at
their city home for the winter and the
farm IS left in charge Of Eefer Banta
and his wife. When the horses arrived
Mrs. Banta had gone to visit neighbor
for the day, and Banta being rather.
lonesome ha dread his daily paper and
fallen asleep with his arm lying on the
table and his head resting upon it. Ban
ia has one glass one, and when he sleeps
of course that eye is open. 1t was the
only eye exposed to view.
Just at this time Kopf and Burns ar
rived, and, seeing no one about, went into
the house, having found the door epen.
Fhey spoke to Banta and though he
was apparently looking at them they
received no answer Thinking it strange
they went out, but re-entered the house
and spoke to him again, with the same
result. Kopf listened to his breathing,
and just then Banta began to snore.
kopf thought it was appopiexy, and that
the only thing to do was to send for
doctor. Burns was despatched for the
"sawbones," kopf staying with the pa-
tient
The house was perfectly still save for
Banta's 5 labored breathing and Kopf
was thoroughly alarmed He sat there
perhaps twenty minutes when Banta
who had been dreaming suddenly jumped
to his feet This so scared Kopf that
he ran for his life. and Banta, taking
the stranger for burglar, grabbed a gun
aud fired two shots at the terror stricken
fugative.
Soon after Burns and the doctor ar
rived and of course explanations fol-
lowed. but it cost Burns 81 just the
same for the doctor. Kopf never stop
ped running till he reached the depot,
mile and half away, and was just
in time to board q train for Jersey City.
When the conductor called for his ticket
Kopf found Burns had them both, 50 he
