visiting in town,
With his ancient carpet satchel and his
dusty suit of brown,
You had better look out lively or you'll
run against a trick.
Sharpers here watch out for strangers,
and sometimes they're might slick"
Uncle slowly pulled his whiskers, setting
down his bag the while,
AS he looked the copper over, then he
answered, with a smile,
Like as not I'd better ask you just what
might your meanin' be,
Cause I'd like to be a-larnin' anything
that's good fer me"
"Oh," the copper answered briskly as he
deftly swung his stick,
Just look out they don't sell to you while
you're here a big gold brick"
Said the farmer: IF they ask you, you
can say I'm in the game.
l am here to do some business, and Tn
mighty glad l came"
What's your business?" asked the cop
per, smiling at the farmer gray,
AS he turned to take his bearings ere he
shufiled on his way.

A Cricket Ball

hard ball, like a baseball, with which a
game called cricket is played-but Mrs.

Grated with flags, the clerks waving
flags and cheering as they a~lighted

the wagon and driven home where
supper awaited them. The people at
the depot were much amused and a

sit must be a newly married couple"
but it had happened some time ago.
Cashier Samuel Mcknight, and assis-
tant Clarence Eldredge were among the
crowd to welcome them, and Frederick
e. Meyer brought up in the rear with
his bread wagon decorated with flags.

The great Interstate Fair will be
held on September 26, q, %, 20, and 80,
on the Fair Grounds, near Trenton, N.
j., on the New York Division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will sell excursion tickets to the Fair
Grounds, including coupon of admis-
sion, at greatly reduced rates, from sta
tions within a wide radius, and special
trains over from New York, Belvidere,
and Amboy Divisions will be run
through to the grounds, thus avoiding
s~treet-car transfer.
AS in previous years, every depart
ment will be replete with superior and
instructive displays. The blooded
stock exhibit will be particularly fine,
and the daily programme of races con.
tains the speediest classes obtainable.
The management of the Fair has put
forth extraordinary efforts to make this
years exhibition ever greater than last
years record-breaking display.

ball little snapper bug messenger boys
were h%urrying to and fro all through

ranged in rose leaves, and the or

the occasion. 1t seemed too bad for a

Editors Weekly Talk.

Elmer Times.
1t may be that the ultimate success
of the japanese in the war with Russia
will cause the overthrow of the system
of Czarism and bring about the estab-
lishment of a government more In
keeping with the spirit OF modern
times. One of the results would prob
ably be a cessation of Jewish persecu-
ton. 1t is generally believed hat the
japanese are descendants OF the lost ten
tribes and if through them the descen-
dents of the two tribes with their long
continuous known history, should be
delivered from Russian tyranny, it
would mark another epoch in Jewish
history in which there would be food
for thought.
Political prophets essay TO believe
that Roosevelt's majority over Parker
will be far larger than McKinley's over
Bryan.
Among the reasons for the belief are
the seeming lack of unity and harmony
between the two wings of the Demo-
cratic organization, and the significance
of the big Republican victory in Yer
mont, the shrinkage of the Democratic
majority in Arkansas and the biggest
Republican majority ever polled in
Oregon at the election in June; all these
are quoted as straws showing the trend
of affairs.
While all of these things figure some
what in forming a forecast, they are not
to be depended upon absolutely, as the
Presidential campaign is only just
begun.
The opinion of the Times previous to
the nomination of Mr.. Parker, was that
a victory over Bryan in the National
convention would not greatly improve
the Democratic chances for success in
November, but that it would put the
party on a sounder basis and put the
Organization in shape for a strong fight
in 1908 and incidentally help the party
in state and municipal elections in the
meantime, in the east and middle
west, and we have seen no reason yet
to change that opinion.
sss
On Tuesday Hon. Edward Stokes, of
Millville, was nominated for Governor
of New Jersey by the Republicans. He
had long been looked upon as the
logical candidate and he was named
withoutOpposition. Mr.. Stokes has had
asuccessful political career and hasnev-
er yet met defeat. He is a bachelor,
unostentatious, and of superior gifts as
a statesman and orator. He has never
been addicted to the use of either tobac-
co or intoXicants and is III many re-
spects a model man. Outside the en-
mites which naturally come with
political career, he has few who know
him but are his well wishers. 1t has
been a long time since a Governor has
been elected from South Jersey. Mr..
Stokes has strong opposition in the
person of Mr.. Black, nominated last
week by the Democrats, but recent Jer-
sey elections would indicate the success
of Mr.. Stokes by a clever majority.

FORMULATE A SYSTEM.
Michigan Central Employees Plan How
They Would Be Pensioned.

Jackson, Mich, Dec. 12.-Formula-
ton OF pension system for the en-
ployes of the Michigan Central railway
is the object of a meeting held in Jack
son Monday. It was attended by dele
gates from ell points touched by the
lines of the Michigan Central and was
representative OF all employees, organ
lied as well as unorganized.
Quite unlike any efforts of other
railroads in the pension line, the Mich
igan Central officials have granted to
the men the opportunity of formu-
lating a pension plan, instead of in
augurating one of their own liking and
making it compulsory, as has been
true with other railways.
Some of the resolutions adopted eX-
pressed the sentiments that the mini
mum pension should not be less than
$40 and the maximum not more than
$50 per month; that no one be entitled
to a pension who had not worked ten
years consecutively for the company;
that no greater amount than per cent
Of tho wages received be collected
from any er'pl0ye of the pension fund.
There were other declarations made,
including one fixing the pension at the
age of 50 years.

Medicine Schen1e.

Union City Mich. Dec. 1.-THE
farmers in this vicinity have just dis
covered that they are the victims of
smooth swinGler who has duped them
to the extent of hundreds of dollars
within the past ten days. The smooth
one has been selling a proprietary
medicine, each bottle bearing the label
Of the Oldest drug house in this city
With each sale was given verbal
guarantee that the aforesaid drug
house would refund all money paid,
provided the medicine did not cure the
ms Of the farmers and their families.
The labels were genuine ones stolen
from the local pharmacists, who were
ignorant Of the deal until some of the
duped farmers came in and desired
their money refunded. One of the vic
tims caught the swindler just as he
was leaving town last evening, and af-
ter threatening to punch his head got

are now coming in every hour and It
is evident that a wholesale business

New York Dec. ia headless hu.
man skeleton, dorsal vertebrae and
ribs, playee an important part in the
trial of Nan Patterson for the murder
Of Caesar" Young Monday. The
gruesome exhibits were made use Of
in the examination of DR.. Philip I'Han-
Ion, tho eoroners physician, who per-
formed the autopsy on Young's body.
Miss PatterSon's counsel protested
at the use Of the skeleton, asserting
that it std no4 compare correctly with
the structure of the dead mans body,
but his objections were overruled.
The skeleton wa used to decide the
course of the bullet after it entered
young's body The prosecution con-
tended that 1t had gone straight TO the
spine, vhssA the government lawyers
believed proved that Young did not
kill himself.
Assuming that Young, with the pis.
t0 in his right hand, had crossed
It over TO his chest and shot into his
left side, the prosecution contended
that the bullet would have travelled to
the left. The fact that it flew straight
inwards 20 the spine WIS advanced rs
proving that the wound was net self
inflicted.
