LIGHTS AND SHADES.

Monday was great day in the COM
posing room of the Chroni lie office !;
great in more ways than one, for it
witnessed the passing of an old friend of
a years standing, and the introduction
of a new one, whose presence may oft
serve to wipe away the hardening effects
of unpleasant duties.
The office towel of 1902 is no more.
1t crumbled and fell not like droopiug
flower that no man noticeth, but like the
straight branch of some moss covered
tree, thick with black evidence of honest
toll. 1t was a friend of many months
standing and there was not spot on it
that had not been carefully coddled and
tenderly pressed by the loving and dirty
hands of those who had come to regard
it with an affection and esteem that may
only be begotten of intimate companion
ship. Its passing was peculiarly pathetic
The office force had so treated it of late
that it had learned to stand alone; stiff
on its dignity and weighted with bu,d-
ems laid upon it by the hands of its
| friends. 1t WAS sight for visitors to
watch the wrinkled old veteran, up
right on the floor heath the nail whc h
once gave it support, stand on it's digni-
ty, calmly, quietly, uncomplsiningly
day after day performing its duties
toward mankind without shrinking from
any of them. IT'S true that its latter
days were marked by the peevishness
which is but to be expected with advance
ing years. The tower of 1902 had from
association with the office cat - an
animal that many time had used it
tor a mattress-acquired some of the
characteristics of that quadruped When
it first came into the office it yielded a
velvety response to those who caressed
it, while later in life, perhaps because
of the hardenin influences of contact
with men, it gave forth a scratch to
those whose tenderness of treatment was
not up to the standard of its approval
But in all its varying moods it was a
joy {, Its modest little circle of acquaint-
ances. 1t ceased to be- thing of use
fulness Monday when the office cat in a
desperate dash for an avowed enemy
crashed against it, The companion of q
year crumbled to the fl Ior, broken into
a thousand pieces before the eyes of it's
best friends The remains were tenderly
scraped together, carefully wrapped
about the latest issue of the paper and
placed in the office morgue. Then the
nat was passed around and new towel
of the same specie, but of greater degree
of cleanliness was hung on the old nail
The king is dead. Long live the king.

signal for the Good Night song and
started on run for the depot. The Glee
Club took along with them the famed
Tapkaow bowling team. and while this
fact was billed as feature it proved
only an incident of the trip.
The boys were in good voice and had a
high grade assortment of songs on tap
guaranteed to suit any and all con-
ditions. They were guests of the New
ark Athletic Club and intimated
above the ostensible object of their visit
was to witness their bowling team defeat

THOUGHTS0N THINGS

Now that that the District Attorney
of New York and DR.. Parkhurst have
told the public what they think of each
other, perhaps matters of real impor
lance may be taken up.
At Biddeford, Maine, it is neccessai y
occasionally for the police to handcuff
the wild deer that rush through the
town and break through the windows
of prominent citizens. Some things
would be very hard to believe if one did
not hear about them in the New York
papers.
Kaiser Wilhelm is always looking for
trouble, now he wants to be an editor.
The intimation that the coal trust had
subsidized the ground hog is probably
not to be relied upon.
The Dover Index has writer with a
keen sense of humor. He is seriously
advocating the change of the county
seat to Dover.

Hague in the first place as the president
advised them to.
The local news factories are turning
out quantity of its product for New
York dailies. The quality of the article
furnished is of the imitation brand and
might with profit be subjected to the
same test of analysis recently applied to
Morristown brandy drops.
The attention The CHRONICLE is re.
ceiving from its exchanges is fiattering
1t is doubtless a source of regret to the
friends of the paper that exchanges were
not consulted before daring to enter
upon business venture.
Another great discovery has been
made in New York Last Sunday Gen.
Green took his devil wagon out on an
expedition and found that the excise
laws were enforced in the Waldorf
Astoria. Won lerful.

Before each number was rendered
Prof. Damrosh lectured at length on

an encore.
Over thirty students from Miss Danas
