The trouble did not go further. She

He had scarcely entered the house

She was hired by the year and had
no reason to hustle. The cats of the
neighborhood rose up with the moon.
Two or three of them had witnessed
Mr.. Bowsers planting as they skulked
along the top of the fences, and the
news that he had started several oys-

The felines assembled in knots and
groups and sections, and while they
spat and cuffed at each other they
likewise came to an understanding
on this subject of agriculture.
Mr.. Bowser sat reading and smoking
after his arduous labors when there
was a long drawn yowl from the
threats of fifty cats and a rush and a
scramble.

HOPATCONG LAKE NOTES.

1t is estimated that about a thou
sand excursionists visited the lake on
Decoration Day. The lowery skies in
the morning undoubtedly kept many
away. The steamboats, did good
business, however, both on Saturday
and Sunday.
The White Line is now running
four boats. viz: Hopatcong, Captain
John Todd; Alametcong, Captain
Austin King; Ada, Captain Isaac
Herdman Nariticong, Captain Man
ming Goble. The Black Line at pres
ent has two boats in commission, the
Mystic Shrine, Captain John Gordon,
and the Bryant, Captain Thomas
Gordon. Two boats will will be added
to this line on the 18th instant. Cap

Germans, and when they started
homeward they carried huge bouquets
of margareteS, boter-blumS and

flag lilies).
The Lake Pavilion at Nolan's Point
was full of transients over Sunday,
among them l.. r. Cadmus, Newark ;
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Steele, Orange
and William and Frank Steele, Pater-
son.
Professor Apgar, of Annandale,
claims to be the boss angler of the
lake, having caught within twenty
four hours 213 pickerel, perch and sun
tiSh-the latter showing to greatest
advantage.
Mrs. j. L. Allen, of the Lake Pavil-
ion, started Sunday afternoon fol
Huntington, Pa, having received
word that her brother in that place
was at the point of death.
The pulpit of the Lake Hopatcong
M. e. Church will be supplied this

ing received. Usually from twenty to
thirty camps occupy favorable sites
between the Point and Galatians.
Camp Six and Excelsior Camp will be
open by Sunday. These are the tenn
porary homes of Paterson people, who
come here in weekly relays.

The difficulties that dramatic au-

titles seem to be constantly increas-
ing. Frank Baum, the author of the
successful extravaganza, "The Wizard

city audiences at the new Majestic

Well, he said, have little cabi-

i was thinking and wondering about a
title for the extravaganza and had set
tied on Wizard as a part of it. My
gaze was caught by the gilt letters on
the three drawers of the cabinet. The
first was A-G; the next drawer was
labeled HIN; and on the last were the
letters or. My eye rested on this
last drawer and "Oz'' furnished the
missing link for the rest of my title.

To prevent snoring a small cap is Mt
