A Parable.

A woman lost two little charms, the
joint gift of God and good man She
hunted long for them She searched
in parlor, in ballroom and in theater
She crowded men from the great,
gaunt buildings where they earned their
bread and hunted there for her lost
jewels She did things that made the
world take a quick little breath, and
then call her a good fellow But
she found them not Weary and worn
she went back to the beginning, and
there, in kitchen and nursery, she
found the two white stones" and

CHANGES MADE
Several Floats for Drinking 0ys
ters Have Been Taken from
the Railway River up the
Raritan to the Mouth of
RedrOOt Creek Ship
pers Fear Railway
River is Polluted.

Although some oysters have been
shipped to New York from this port
for some weeks past, the fall season
actually opened hero Saturday whom
tho opening and shipping Eof the BIZ
valves was resumed Mt the Booth Com
pany's house, foot of Smith street.
The oysters were supplied by D. O..
Noe q Son and were taken up in the
Great Kills. They were fine and tho
oystermen predict good season.
Owing to the recent activity on the
part OF the State Board of Health re-
garding the drinking of oysters in
fresh water before going to market,
some of the local dealers have changed
their place for drinking. Heretofore
tic Railway river has been used, but
as the town of Railway and other
places above drain into thnt stream,
the oystermen fear that tho health
authorities might condemn their
oysters. While there has never been
any complaint abour the Perth Amboy
oysters, and it is believed the Railway
river is all right, at the same time, to
be on the safe side, about half dozen
floats have been. towed to Redroot
creek, which empties into the Raritan
river about mile above Keasbey,
where they will go to drink. This
creek flows through the meadows
starting in springs and marshes several
milss inland. There is not habita-
tion nor source of pollution any
where near it. 1t is believed the
Railway river will eventually bo
abandoned as drinking place.
