Plaut,s Broad Policy.

Always the supreme event of mid
summer merchandising, will begin
Monday, July 9th. The policy Of this
concern as everyone knows is a broad
one. Merchandise is never carried
over from season to season--not if
price can help it. The Importance of
this years sale is absolutely incacula-
bic inasmuch as practically all of the
summer weather is yet to come. In
fact many have been able to convent
emily defer purchasing in anticipation
of the Bee Hives July bargains. The
offerings this season are greater and
better than ever before "a determined
effort being made to Guido the bust
ness of any previous July and that
they have succeeded admirably will be
forcibly demonstrated when you ac-
quaint yourself with the quality of
the values offered Not a Single de-
partment has escaped the mark-down
so in justice TO yourself no matter
what your needs may be, investigate
the economies of this great sale. If
interested in price details, write to l..
Plaut & Co., Newark, for their list.
We direct attention to the fact that
this store will be closed all day Satur-
day, July 4th and open Friday evening";
otherwise during July and August
will close at noon Saturdays; remain
ing open Friday evenings before.

Wasl1ington'S
Ragged Rebels .
Copyright, 1903, by W. L. Vail

- yTA Aged rebelsp' was the COM
av mon epithet applied by
III naughty British officers to
belittle the Revolutionary
soldiers. The sneer lost its point after
few battles, for in spite of an occasion
al flag of truce visible along the rear
of the line, their patched up and non
descript weapons and correspondence
discipline, they killed the redcoats man
for man and sometimes two to one in
battle. They were out for a killing
time and they had it, therefore they
were a success as soldiers.
But for the spirit which fired the man
behind the gun in 1776 the Continental
army would have been a beggarly
crowd indeed. The minutemen came
to the rendezvous armed with any old
thing, apparently believing, with Mrs.
Partington, that shooting iron is
dangerous even without lock, stock or
barrel" They bought powder and
lead, likewise old army muskets, sur
repttiously, for the market towns were
patrolled by Jealous British regulars,
and they nodded bullets by hand at
their secret camp fires, using lead clock
weights in many instances, for that
metal was very scarce in those days.
Regular soldiers were objects of ha-
tired to the Continentals, for the only
ones they had ever seen were minions
bf oppression. Some of the older "reb-
els" had fought the battles of the reg
hlars in the French and Indian wars.
They knew them and despised them,
for the backwoodsman and farmer was
the best man in a border fight Regu-
lars had lost Braddock's Field, and
Washington's ragged militia had pre-
vented the humiliation of Braddocl1's
army. Having touch Of vanity in
spired by election to Office the petty
leaders of the Revolutionary troops
tried to put on military style. Grand
fathers sword was taken from the wall
and strapped upon boys lacking the
inches to lift its point from the ground.
Uniform coats that didn't go half way
round and cooked hats much too large
gave little appearance of authority to
the wearer even though they excited
ridicule.
To the average fighting man of 1915
killing redcoats was a holiday. He
sowed and titled and harvested crops
between battles, leaving ''sogerin"
for off days on the farm. Ragged he
was and dirty, too, bedaubed with the
honest smut of the ground which nour-
ished and pillowed him. Wash your
hands and wash them with soap" was
"Old Puts" order to his Connecticut
militia when Washington took hold
and sent trained Inspector to Put

How to Make Peppermint sweets.

Children always delight in pink and
white ''pep'mint' candy. 1t is so harm
less and sometimes so beneficial that
the most careful ofimammas may give
it to their little ones. A simple and yet
good way to make 1t is to dissolve two
cupfuls of graduated sugar in half
cupful of water AS soon as the sugar
is melted remove the spoon and boil
the strip eight minutes; then remove
from the fire, add seven drops of oil Of
peppermint and beat vigorously until
the strip is thoroughly creamed. Drop
by teaspoonfuls on to waxed paper.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
Francis A. Vincent Hears from South
African Brother.

FRANCIS "A. vincent 1eafS from south
African Brother.
When Mr. Francis A. Vincent sailed
from South Africa some sixteen years
ago, he left behind him a younger
brother, Sydney Vincent; for some
time after Mr.. Vincent's arrival here
he heard regularly from Sydney, who
had meantime married, but after a
year all letters ceased, and although
Mr. Vincent tried in every way to
locate his brother he could not find
one single trace Of him, or his wife
and family.
On the publication, after the close
of the Boer war, of new general di-
rectory of South Africa, copy of it
came into Mr.. Vincent's possession,
and he made search for any record of
Vincents now living at the Cape of
Good Hope He noticed that at Wyn-
berg, small place in the vicinity of
Cape Town, the name Of Mrs. A. S.
Vincent, widow, and determined at
once to write and see if she was his
brothers wife, or if she knew any
thing of the family. BY a strange CO
incidence this Mrs. Vincent, although
a total stranger to Sydney Vincent,
by inquiring found some one who did
know him, and knew where he was
living This kind lady at once put
herself into communication with Sgd
ney, and also wrotea very nice letter
to Mr.. f. A. Vincent, informing him
that accidentally she had been able to
find his brothers address. In due
course letter came from Sydney, who
was overjoyed to be put once more in
touch with his relatives in this coun-
try. 1t appears he and his family had
moved up country and had lost most
of their personal belongings by fire,
and had no letters containing Mr..
Vincent's address and so could not
write; each thought the other was
dead, but Sydney has done well, has a
good business, and has added six Vim
cents TO the family stock during the
fifteen years that have elapsed since
the two brothers correspondent. War
