what Is Taste?

The dictionary says it is the partlc-
ular sensation excited when a soluble
substance is brought into contact with
certain parts of the mouth. That
doesn't read very much like a de-
scription of the sensation excited by
the first taste of Pillsbury's Vitos. The
only way to know that particular taste
is to buy a package at your grocerss,
and try it for breakfast.

The new school law provides that
"the Board of Education of any school
district may establish and maintain
public evening schools for the instruc-
tion of persons over twelve years of
age, residents of the districts" and
further provides that if these evening
sessions are two hours in length and
held at least sixteen times a month,
the district maintaining them shall be
entitled to an apportlonate on the
basis of the number of teachers en-

The State owes this privilege to the
young who are compelled to fight
their own battles Of life, more than
to those of parents who are able to
provide for them. Every American

.Sbecial TO The Evening Meas.

SbsciaI TO tAe Evening Meas.
South Amboy, Jan. 4:-The office OF
the Westmoreland Coal Company at
the coal docks was partly destroyed
by fire shortly before noon yesterday
How the flames started is not known.
1t required stubborn fight to save
the main offices of the Pennsylvania
company and a portion of the coal
docks. Besides the South Amboy fire
department, streams were playing on
burning buildings from three tug
boats.
\ The P. r. r. company's fire whistle
was first to sound the alarm. 1t WAS
soon followed by the borough fire
alarms and q number of boat whistles.
Protection engine and hose carriage
soon arrived on the spot, pulled by
the borough team.
The three tugboats, Newport, Mar
ian and Overlook, pulled in close
and had their fire hose playing to
good effect. By the time they had
started in with their work the firemen
arrived and tried to get to work, but
found the hvdrant frozen, SO it was
some time before they got a stream
on the building.
The fire proved to be very stubborn
and it was some time before they
could extinquish it, although the
building was small, being only about
twenty feet square and three stories
III height
The cause of the fire is not known
as there was no one in the building,
as far as is known, when it started.
The building was completely Quilted
and the roof gone. Several attempts
we're made to pull the building down
for fear it would set ilre to the docks
and D. Q. Chase's office, but they
were Intellectual as every time the
engine would pull, the ropes broke.
A number OF the men who were
fighting the fire had their ears and
fingers frozen. Street Commissioner
Quinlan had the tips of the fingers OF
his left hand frozen. Some of the
men looked like walking icebergs, be-
ing so completely covered with ice
from their head to their feet, so they
could not be recognized.
All of the bosses were out and d.
O. Chase with them. helping fight the
fire. 1t was after O'Clock before the
fire was fully under control. The tug
Marian was left there with line OF
hose stretched ready to start the
pumps going if it should break out
again.

in frolic ventured TO purioin the great
seal from the chancellors bedroom.
Trembling with anxiety, the great
man came downstairs TO proclaim his
loss, but 10 his relief they told him OF
their joke and challenged him TO FIND
his treasure. Entering into the spirit
of their fun. he at last dragged the
emblem OF his authority triumphantly
from the coal box.
Still I'm merry mood, he led the party
TO the kitchen, where each lady mad,
a pancake. with the great seal for d
pan, pouring the batter between its
disks.
This mad prank created so mucl
amusement that Lord Brougham re
