CHILDREN,s PICNIC.

One morning in May our teacher
suggested picnic, and our class
started in wagonette for Burns
woods, each having prepared some
lunch. Soon we came to a pleasant
spot where we decided to stop and eat
our lunch.
While the teacher was arranging the
table, she sent us off for romp in the
woods because she had some surprises
in store which she did not want us to
know about until luncheon.
We had not gone far when one Of
the girls exclaimed "Oh, look there
is hut. | believe some tramps live
in it, AS we approached the door,
we saw the ashes of a recently ex-
tinguiShed fire. Our curiosity had to
lie satisfied, and soon the door was
broken open. We found that the hut
had small dark room and in it was a
table, made out of a soap box, and a
mattress, covered with bedclothes. as
if some one had occupied it very lately.
We had become greatly interested
when we heard the teacher call us to
luncheon.
After luncheon we went to little
clearing to wait for the carriage.
While we were waiting, two little
boys came and we asked them who
lived in the little hut, and they said
a little friend of theirs built it and
played in it, but he had gone away
now for the summer.
When they went away black clouds
gathered over head and it began to
rain. None of US had an umbrella,
and we knew if it rained hard we
would all get very wet. Just then a
carriage passed and the teacher asked
the occupant if he would send the
wagonette for US and he said he would
Just as he had gotten around the
corner the wagonette came for us.
We all got in and just as we got home
it poured and began to thunder and
lightning. We had such a delight
full time that we decided to tell our
friends about it through the Chronicle.

The farmers in the Hudson Valley
are all complaining about the trouble
they are having to keep bees alive. 1t
is said that disease has spread
among them which has shown fatal
results. Thousands OF bees have
died from this cause and it is feared
that nearly all of them will be carried
away One farmer who kept 1926
colonies OF bees last summer has
but twenty now and he finds it dini-
cult to keep them.
Congressman Charles n. Fowler is
now the recognized head and front of
the currency reform movement in the
United States. His original researches
into data connected with financial
problems, his logical skill in heaping
up arguments from facts, and his
oratorical ability to make his ar
guments reach those who have ears
to hear, yet frequently hear not,
have given him the force and power
that will assuredly win ultimate
triumph for the cause for which he
so enthusiastically labors The

State Treasurer Franklin o. Briggs,
of New Jersey, has document which
is believed to be the original of an act
OF Congress passed on July 5, 1870,
while Congress was in session in New
York city. The document provides
for the buying of West Point as a
military station and school, and was
given to Mr.. Briggs by Park Commits
sioner Q. l., Trayer, who bought it a
number of years ago in an old Phila-
delphia book store. The paper bears
the signature of Thomas jefferson,
secretary of state; +. A. Mehlenberg,

ali, the Index is as aged as it pre-
tends to be, or if it hasn't reached
that stage of its career when sooth-
ing syrup must be administered for

really is sorry that the Index feels
50 badly that it must 60 beyond the
limits at which the hackmen, I'M

a Barbarous Practice.

The barbarous practice of rolling a
person over barrel to permit the es-
cape of water supposed to be in the
lungs has ceased to exist as a treat
ment for drowning; no water gets into
the lungs. In Accidents, one Of
the series of medical handbooks being
issued by The Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York, full directions
are given for reyiying persons supposed
to be drowned. The book will be sent

Five Elizabeth men who assailed a
fellow-workman last February, were
fined $50 and costs each. They had DO
money and would have gone to Jail,
but Judge Vail granted the applica-
tion Of their counsel and released them
under bail to give them a chance to
earn the money and pay their fines.
They have sixty days in which to do
this. 1t is apparent that Judge Walls
course must be satisfactory to all con-
cerned the men win be punished, the
county will get the penalties and will
not be obliged to support the men in
jail and the families Of the prisoners
will not be the chief sufferers. -Tren-

The Paterson Guardian takes pains
to make it plain that when Mayor
Hinchliffe said the other day, in an
interview in a republican newspaper,
that he was not candidate for the
democratic gubernatOrial nomination.
he merely meant that he is not seek
ing the office of governor. "The mayor
of Paterson is not read out of the race
by anything republican newspaper
may say" declares the Guardian. This
simply confirms what the News said
many days ago that if Mr.. Hinch-
life hears the call, his position regard
ing the publication of the Passaic
river will not hinder him from re-
spending to the appeal of his party,

In view of the prevalence of small

made by the physicians attending the
recent sessions here of the Medical
Society of New Jersey are worthy of
consideration. In a discussion upon
vaccination they agreed with perfect

absolute preventative of the disease
and even went so far as to suggest that
incubation should be compelled by
law Their perfect confidence in the
efficacy of vaccination, born of careful
study and long experience, should in

Indications seem to point to the ulti-
mate extinction of the disease. AS

The move of the Morris County

the scheme for proposed electric
road which will connect Paterson
and Philadelphia by use of trolley
lines, plans for which have been
completed This new road offers
passenger and freight service from
Singac to points in Morris county,
and close connection with the
Whippany road at the Passaic river.
1t is the intention, owing to lessened
cost, to build and operate the road
at first by steam power. Later the
line will be equipped for electricity.
The new road has been completed
from Jersey City through Newark
and Montclair to Caldwell. From
there it is proposed to take a route
through Whippany Morristown,
Mendham, Peapack, Somerville and
down to Princeton. OF course the
Dover line will be but branch of
the original plan, but it is possible
that at some future time it will be
a part of il.

Preparations on more or less
elaborate scale have been made tor
the proper observance of Indepen-

Patriotic citizens have worked with
town officials, who have much of the
same quality i'll their make ups,
and out of this have come a series
of plans which will make July 4th,
1908, one of red letter days in Nor
ristown's 1903 calendar. This IS
as it should be. The committee
has been wise in considering the in
fuence of early impressions on the
youth Of the present day and has
not failed to provide pleasures in
which he may take part He will
be allowed to do those things which
on other days are tabooed and the
blue coated officers of the law will
have no terrors for him. There are
many people who don't like the
noise of exploding giant crackers.
But they can stand it for one day
in the year, we guess. Fourth Of
July is the boys holiday and the
chronic fault-fnders at its perpetual
observance should take to the woods
that day and let the boys alone.
