CAME BACK TO HIS OWN.
Reflections of a Busy City Man Who
Found Himself in Quietest
Part Of Maine.

The man who lives in a great
city becomes accustomed to its
noises. Then some day the man
goes out of town, to the mountains
or to the quietude Of rural life,
says the New York Sun.
THAT'S what | did," said a man

A BaIed Hay Diet

A Brooklyn man eats grass. Il has
cured him of indigestion, he says, and,
strange to say, has not given him hay
fever. Later he will probably move
into a barn and make grass his stable
food. ACKNOWLEDGMENT is said to have
eaten grass like an Ok, but he did it
not because of trouble in his digestive
apparatus, but on account Of a disorder
in his think works.
The Brooklyn nan has not yet begun
to chew his cud, but says he feels like
another being. He does not intimate
whether this new being he says he
feels like Is of the horse or goat per-
suasion. Possibly it is neither, as the
father of the mule is also a grass eat
ing animal. Seriously, however, we
recommend this diet to other dyspep-
tics. For n reason, the man who
chews hay would have no time to chew
the rag. Besides, it would be cheaper.
There Is nothing like getting close to
the soil, and If grazing will not bring
n there we know of nothing that
will. Under this sort of bill of fare
ones stomach would doubtless grow
SO strong and husky that he would de-
velop an appetite for tin cans, like the
billy goat. 1t would also give him a
feeling Of sympathy and comradeship
for the creatures of the fields until he
could say with the small boy, "If l
had to be a COW an couldn't be a boss,
wot l want to be, I'd be an OK"
Eating hay should give one a taste
for grass widows. Somebody ought to
recommend this diet to John D. Rookie
Teller and Russell Sage-to Rockefeller
because he has a bad stomach and to
Sage because it is cheap. There are
many ways in which the food could be
served. For breakfast let it be chop
ped fine and served with bran and salt.
The midday meal should be made to
consist of timothy and clover. In the
evening there might be a feed of al
falfa. Between times one could prance
out upon the hills and nibble blue
grass. This would be great food for
an army, as there would be no trouble
in living off the country. At n rate,
a grass menu should furnish food for
good horse sense, whether or not there
ls any evidence of it in the theory.

Incubation In the Desert,

Many a person who has watched a
mother robin nesting patiently on her
eggs in a ~blossoming apple tree has
wondered how the little creature of
her ancestors ever learned that that
long process would cause the eggs to
hatch. A greater puzzle is set for
them, says the author of 1.-THE Land
of Little RAIN" in the great desert,
where the same birds have learned to
cool their eggs instead of warming
them.
In the unsheltered nests on the sandy
plains 1T becomes necessary to keep the
eggs frcm cooking. One hot, sitting
spring in the Little Antelope a traveller
had occasion to pass and repass the
nest of a pair of meadow larks, located
unhappily in the shade of a very slen-
der weed. The birds were never sit
ting except at night, but at midday
they stood or dropped above the nest,
half fainting, with pitifully parted
bills, spreading their wings between
the sun and the eggs. Sometimes both
OF them together, with wings spread
and half lifted, maintained a spot of
shade in a terrific temperature.
Their patience was in this case re-
warded, for the compassionate traveller
at last spared them a bit of canvas.
which she mounted over the nest as n
permanent shelter.

A Strange Disappearance.

On Monday, Oct. 31st, Richard R.
Layton, who resided on Cedar avenue,
Wildwood disappeared and no one
knows his whereabouts. On leaving
the house he told his wife that he was
going to the sounds fishing. He failed
to return and nothing has since been
heard of him although repeated search
has been made. 1t is not believed
that he went fishing but instead board
ed a train for Philadelphia. AS far as
is known Layton's domestic life was
very smooth and no cause for his
strange disappearance can be offered.
Layton is a man twenty-six years of
age, a carpenter by trade, and has been
married nine years. He has one child
six years of age. He has resided in
Wildwood one year and in the county
eight years. A search has been insti-
tuted for him in nearby towns.

uting rollers covered with sticky,
greasy ink over 1000 times, besides re-

the silk was washed and ironed. 1t

Baker Brothers are selling their pre-
MUM contracts at a rapid rate, Owe
270 of them in two months time
Among the last purchasers of contract
lots has been Edwin A. Clark, of San
Diego, Cal, a well known extensive
owner of real estate, who purchased
five contracts. Mr.. Clark was among
the visitors to our island this summer
and was so favorably impressed that
he was induced to invest here.
This is only an instance of the wide
territory, in which Wildwood's fame is
gaining a foothold. A visit to Wild
wood instills confidence in the most
conservative investors.
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD IMPROVE
MENTS.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company
has seemingly awakened to the fact
that Five Mile Beach is deserving of
more attention. 1t is reported from
reliable sources hat a double track
made of 100 pound rails will be laid
from Holly Beach to Anglesea this
winter. This will make possible a
better train service. Besides the laying
of the heavy rails and double track
there will be many other Improvements
on this branch before another summer.
The trackmen are now connecting the
branch at Anglesea Junction with 100
pound rails and signal men are max
ing the switches to work automatically.
1t is officially stated that there was
as manv and 40 per cent. more people
carried over this branch this summer
by the West Jersey and Seashore rail
road than there was to all the seashore
resorts south of Atlantic City combined.
A conservative estimate places next
seasons traffic double that of last year.
The contemplated Improvements will
be in order with the increased traffic.
PREPARATIONS TO AMUsE SUMMER
CROWDS.
The Buckborn & Reynolds new ocean
pier now progressing so rapidly under
the direction of Brannan & Goslin is a
feature which will be a great force in
the amusement of the thousands of
people who will visit our resort next
summer. The weather has been most
favorable to the sinking of the piling
which have been placed in position as
fast as they are received. Over 300 pill
ing are now in position, presenting an
appearance not unlike a branchless for
est. Sixteen car loads of lumber and
The Casino hall and pier will have
added Improvements and additions by
next season. Parts of the pier will be
enlarged and remodeled. The Casino
will undoubtedly be as ever, a popular
terminal for the crowds, a reputation
which the pier has held ever since it's
careful management by Butcher & Co.
Bakers Auditorium will undergo
remarkable changes before next sum-
mer. The seating capacity will be III
creased several hundred, the stage en-
larged and modernized so that the lar
gest of scenery can be easily handled
and the whole interior of the audito-
rum will be made beautiful to the eve.
