EDITORIAL

According to the correspondents in
Trenton of the New York and Phila-
delphia papers every incident in the
political life of this state has an i'm
portant and decisive effect upon the
campaign for governor and United
States Senator. The election OF a
poundkeeper at Podunk and the
appointment of a game warden in
Molasses Chunk will decide the sue
cessor of Governor Murphy and Sena-
tor Kean if, and that little word is
what keeps the stories from being
read by ~Jerseymen. No doubt they
are interesting and even exciting to
the farmers of New York and the
miners of Pennsylvania. Elizabeth

MILESToNEs OF SENTIMENT.
Thoughtful Little Acts Of Everyday
Life which Make Every

Women adore thoughtfulness in their
lovers. Some simple. kindly act. the
outcome of q thoughtful moment, Is
often of greater import when love sits
in judgment.
When those who have once loved are
separated by death or otherwise, the
saddest reflection comes when the
memory can recall no thoughtful favor,
no act, unrequested or unsousht, that
has been simply the tribute Of love.
and love alone.
Husbands are often sadly negligent
in this regard, and, even as lovers, fail
to attach any importance to the dainty
attentions that carry 80 much weight
of meaning as messengers OF love.
A sweetheart who never thinks to

EARLY Squirrel Scnurnaa

Accounts of early writer's show that
squirrels must formerly have been
amazingly numerous. Golman says that
the gray coat was a fearful scourge to
the colonial farmers and that Penn
sylvania paid $4,000 In bounties for
their scalps in 1749 alone. This meant
the destruction Of $40, 900 within a
comparatively small district. In the
early days Of western settlement resu-

8, The need of a pavement on Wash
ington street was again demonstrated
Tuesday night when a great gulch
was washed out of the roadway, carry
ing great quantities of the street bed
into the sound. With a good pave
ment this would not have happened.
The water would have rushed over
the pavement and swept on into the
sound without damage. Not only will
the pavement be an excellent thing
for the property owners, but it will
save money for the city, for, with the
street simply filed in again, the
washout is liable to occur every time
there is a heavy rain. Pave the
street. Get the benefit on the pro-
perty and, at the same time, benefit
the city.

The good work being done by the
street committee in Water street where
the new bulkhead Is being built, is
appreciated by all who have any pride
in making at least one section of the
city as beautiful as possible. AS the
News has remarked before, Perth
Amboy is a place of manufactures
and is filled with the modest homes
of the laboring man and therefore WI
make no boasts of the beauties of the
place. 1t is safe to say, however,
that in the old colonial days, before
the commercial advantages of the
place were made use of, there was no
prettier spot in New Jersey than
Ambo Point, with its high bluff over
looking the Raritan and the highlands
beyond.
In spite of our ever increasing
number of factories and busy harbor,
some trace of this beauty remains and
it is due to the entire population that
this small portion be preserved and
nurtured by the city fathers as much
as possih6e. A step in this direction
wal, tai when it was decided to
place the new bulkhead ten feet
Hrther out, thus widening the street
and improving the drive. With the
exception of two small places, a bulk
head now extepds along our entire
water front on the sound. With these
connecting/links built and the land
filed in, it would be possible to give
Front street an outlet into Water
street on the bluff. This would give
Perth Amboy an excellent water front
/thoroughfare. With the exception of

present terminus of Front street south,
has never been opened to the public.
Already along the bluff, where the
steps lead down to the path, there IS
a terrace, we'll sodded, but lack of
care hides it's beauty. When the time
comes, if Front street is ever extend
ed into Water street, where the two
streets join will form a point where
as charming a little resting place as
any city could desire might be fitted
out with a few benches at a very little
cost. !
The new bulkhead is a step toward
the accomplishment of this idea. 1t
is not long before public sentiment
will demand a sewer and a pavement
in Water street and that will go a
long way toward accomplishing the
ultimate result.

to decoy birds has been observed q
number of times by correspondent
of the Scientific American, who says:
"The snake hides himself in the tall

the phoebe and kingbird, are attract

Deed of Insane Man Hundred Feet

Minneapolis, Oct 15-In frenzy Of
terror, with the superhuman strength
of madness, Joseph Brown, confined
in the insane ward OF the Hennepin
county Jail, tore away the bars of his
cell and window and, reaching the out
side window ledge, craWled around on
an eight-inch ledge distance OF
eight feet, over 100 feet from the
ground.
1t is regarded as one Of the most
remarkable feats ever accomplished
by human being.
People who witnessed the daring
act say that the mans strength and
nerve were phenomenal.
When the guards discovered the
mans absence they rushed to the
window expecting to see his dead body
on the ground below. But he was dis
covered trying to crawl in at another
window and was dragged to safety.
