sMetuchen people used to go to New
Brunswick, but not since the trolley
line to Perth Amboy has been com
pieted. They all come here now and
New Brunswick is not even thought

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Every Plainfielder who is interested
in the commercial progress and adj
vancement of this city would speed
the day when the extension of the
trolley system 10 connect with the
Metuchen line, is consumated. This
project has been under consideration
for several years by interests which
have been merged into the Public
Service Corporation. and since this
after combine has acquired CONTROL
of the street railways ~hereabouts there
have been numerous reports of in
tended action toward carrying out
the Improvement. Up 20 the present
time, however. nothing moro ad-
vanced tia the formulation of tenta-
tive plans have served to offer encour-
agement Of the demand for this ex.
| tension.
Though Matuchen trade naturally
g~ravitates to New Brunswick-per
force of easy and quick transit facili-
ties between the two towns-it is be-
~lievable that a fair proportion of Me-
~tuchenites would prefer Plainfield as a
shopping center wero this city has
easy of access as the Middlesex coun>
ty seat. The extension Of the trolley
system radiating from Plainfield so as
to connect with the Metuchen spur
that runs almost to Oak Tree, would
serve to invite constant visits of the
people Of Metuchen to this city for
trading purposes, whereas now the
bulk of this custom goes to New
1 Brunswick.
In merchandising, Plainfield offers
superior inducements over New
Brunswick. The extension of the
trolley system, under such conditions,
would naturally open up a profitable
field for local merchants. -Plainield

q The impression has been given out
in Trenton that an effort will be made
this winter to pas a law permitting
the shooting of robins by the farmers.
Il would seem that after the expert
moe OF last winter tie lawmakers
would be wise enough to keep their
hands off this wear.
It will be remembered that the
greatest argument in favor of killing
robins was that they eat the farm Or Is
cherries. 1t will also be recalled that
last spring, after the legislature had
adjourned will: the robins unmo.
Tested, the State had one of the great
est cherry crops in its history. In
fact, so numeropss were cherries that
the market yns flooded and many
were left to rot oil the trees yet robias
were gust as plentiful last year rs
ever. Thus the main argument of the
robin killers was knocked out com
pletely.
Not only does the report say tina
the agitation to kill robin redbreast il
to be revived, however, but it states
that the bill which will permit the
tt IN.
killing of the bird, will be put into
the hands of O Middlesex assembly
man, There are only three from thil
county, Messrs Henry, Fordyce and
Martin. Last year Assemblymar
Henry told the Evening News that he
was opposed to the bill and he voted
against 1t. Il is safe 10 say he ha'
not changed his mind and therefor
he can te counted out. That leave

There is no demand in Middlesex fol
killing of the robins. The fact is
Senator Jackson's sad experience wit
the pigeon bill last year should be a
a lesson to all Middlesex legislato
not to oppose a popular sentiment re
garding the killing Of birds in thi
State. II there is any 'tdirty work

A Teachers Testimony.

Hinton, KY, Nov. 2S (speciaD-It
has long been claimed that Diabetes is
incurable, but Mr.. E. j. Thompson,
teacher in the Hinton school, has pleas
ing evidence to the contrary. Mr.
Thompson had Diabetes. He took
Dodd's Kidney Pills and is cured. In
a statement he makes regarding his
cure Mr.. Thompson says:
81 was troubled with my kidneys for
more than two years and was treated
by two of the best doctors in this part
of the state. They claimed l had Dia-
betes and there was little to be done
for me. Then started to use Dodd g
Kidney Pills and what they did for me
was wonderful. 1t is entirely owing
to Dodd's Kidney Pills that an now
enjoying good health"
Many doctors still maintain that
Diabetes is incurable. But Diabetes is
kidney disease and the kidney disease
that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure
has yet to be discovered.

Samples of His Voice,

marvelousness was brought home to
me forcibly last week.
Il had written to a French tenor
and asked him what he would take

and two cylinders.
II will come for five hundred dol
lars a week. the letter said, and I
forward in another package samples
of my voice and of my acting

graphic record of one of the mans
solos. The smaller one was a moving
picture film of him singing the solo.
II took the two cylinders to a deal

the other in a moving picture ma
chine. Then we darkened the room,
and we started the machine and the
phonograph simultaneously. By Jove,
sir, the actor might have been present
personally. There he was on the
screen, walking up and down the
stage and gesticulating, and there was
his voice issuing in sonorous notes
from the big phonograph horn. l got
from it as satisfactory an idea Of the
mans talent as l could have got If
he had visited me-"

or a preacher2

want both, you know.

both. Do you want a minister who will
visit your homes, romp with the children,
joke with the boys, pay compliments to
the women folks, admire your pigs,
praise your cattle, inquire about crops,
and on Sundays put you to sleep; or do
you want a preacher who will shut him
self up with his books, burn the midnight

oratorical bursts that would thrill the
throngs at a cathedral? Take your
choice.

HOW 1T WAS EXPLAINED.
Hotel Guest Was a Hold-Up Man, but
Was Fooled.

do OllCus
"The queerest thing that ever hap
pened to me-" said the hotel clerk to a
Boston Budget writer, "came off when
was on the night desk of a small
hotel In a Connecticut town. 1t was
a secondrate establishment, frequent
ed mostly by drummers, and the situa-
ton was rather lonely at night. There
were stores all about, and they closed
early, so that after 10 O'clock ours was
the only place on the block open. For
that reason | kept a revolver in the
money drawer. One night about II 80
O'Clock pleasant-spoken, well-dreSsed
young fellow came in and asked for
room. We talked for a few minutes;
then l told him as tactfully as l could
that as he didn't have any baggage
he would have to pay in advance. "All
right he said. Take it out of that
HE handed me a $40 bill. l pulled
out the money drawer to change it.
There was my revolver in plain sight,
and another one with it. The second
gun had been left in his room by a de-
parting guest, and I'd tucked it into
the drawer with mine for want of a
better place to put it
"'What do you want with two re-
volvers? asked the stranger. Oh said
|, joshing, suppose some one should
come in and find me with the till out
and get one gun and start to hold me
up. I'd have another handy

stranger, and pointed to the window

looked. When l looked back there
was the stranger standing with the eX-
ira revolver, which he'd reached over
and got out Of the till. Suppose said
he, that l should grab a revolver while
you weren't looking and cover you-as
I'm doing now-and tell you to hand
over the till, and that If you made a
move to get your gun I'll scatter your
brains all over the place where would
your extra revolver be then? HeyT
"'And suppose, said 1, truthfully,
that l told you the gun you are hold
ing on me hasn't been loaded for a
month and has a broken firing pin
And while that was being telegraphed
through his brain l snatched my own
gun and covered him.
1T would show quick wit on your
part he said, and he laid down the
unloaded revolver. And now, If you
will give me my change, l guess III
quit the game Of suppose, and go to
bed
"'Well, I'll leave 1t to you If that
wasn't enough to puzzle any man. Had
he tried to hold me up, or was it just 9
! fool game of his? Somehow l couldn't
just make up my mind. So gave hin
his change and let him go to his room
and l figured on it all night withou
getting any nearer a conclusion. Bu-
next morning things happened which
cleared the matter up. About II O'Clock
the chambermaid reported that she
couldn't get any answer from the room
to which had assigned the stranger
They unlocked the door. His bed had
not been touched. There was an opeT
window to the fire escape in the hall
Furthermore, the boss asked me to eX
plain how I'd happened to turn over 6
counterfeit $40 bill with my cash."
