GOT HERE, ANYWAY.
ArAI

Who got left and had a healthy walk all
the way from Keyport, Sundays A young
man of this borough took an early train
for Keyport Sunday morning with the
intention of taking a train back, but
when he started for home learned to his
dismay that there wasn't any train
coming this way. AS there was a mag
net on this end of the road, the mans
feet-no, his heart could not resist it and
his feet sympathized, SO much that
they brought him all the way home on
terra firma, instead of OH the cars. His
friends hope that he was rewarded for his
trouble after he finally got here.

Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in- formally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by. building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing it's work.

FOR NEEDLEWORKERS.
Pretty Bits of Household Emery Up on Which to Employ Their
 Spare Time.

A fad of the moment is to have laced or embroidered cuff and stock pieces edged entirely around with ruching. The cuff pieces are simply pasted over the wristbands. When the ruching is soiled new ruche may be put on and so the handsome or delicate lace is saved much washing.
 One of the embroidery designs in field flowers which is attractive is daisy pattern upon table center piece. Large centers with white couched edge and the pattern stamped inside this cost $150. The edges should be finished with broad band of lace. The design IS worked in white and green.
 A prime factor in cozy corner is cushion of green burlap embroidered with red raffia. The design is of clus- ters of cherries. The realism of this pillow is further carried out by having the corners finished with large punches of natural-looking velvet cherries on green wire stem.
 The prettiest of the new summer cushion covers are in sheer muslin or lawn, with embroidered monogram or Marie Antoinette festooned borders, or Napoleonic wreaths of tiny flowers all done in exquisite stitches in white, and brought into relief by being placed over a cushion covered in rose, blue, yellow or mignonette green.
 Bedroom slippers of the hand cro- cheted order echo the universal vogue of the polka dot. The smartest of these are now made to come very high on the ankle and turn over, forming sort of cuff. Larke white polka dots occur on background of pink or lavender, or a white surface is treated with large dots in pink or blue.
 A pretty pincushion that girl can make for herself, or for gift, is cir cular affair of violet colored silk or satin, heavily sacheted with orris pow der. Around this are sewed millinery violets, arranged in such way that the cushion is almost hidden away in the blossoms. The stems are tied as If in 2 bouquet at the back.
 A pretty and comfortable kimono may be made from an old shirt waist. Re- move the gathers at the waist. Take off the collar band and cut the neck V-shape. Remove the cuffs and gathers at the wrist. Now take cloth of contrasting color and sew strip two inches wide around the bottom of the waist and the sleeves, up the fronts and around the neck and your dressing sack is con- plete.

THE OLD-FASHIONED BATH.
An Invigorating Indulgence Espe- cially Beneficial to Persons
 Who Are filling.

An 1880 bath is the very latest scented water in which there is enough acid to be invigorating It is bath of previous generation and it is one which every athlete of the present day should try, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
 To make an 1880 bath take tub of hot water and pour into it quart of bath vinegar if one can afford it. If one cannot indulge in this extrava- gance, then take pint. If this is too much at least pour in a few table spoonfuls.
 A bath in bath vinegar is good for the muscles.S It drives away rheuma- tism, it cures neuralgia, it is just the thing for stiff neck, and it takes the ache out of tired bones.
 A rose geranium bath is recom- mended to those who have neuralgia and sharp aches and pains. There is something very soothing about the odor of rose geranium. It lulls tho senses as not even violets can do.
 The aromatic bath, partly ammonia, is liked by those who feel faint and is the bath of baths for the woman with a weak heart. Let the woman whose heart does not beat well practice walk ing. Let her take the walking exer- cises vigorously. Then let her take a bath in aromatic vinegar and let her finally steep her nose in bottle of the vinegar, and while she is dressing let a saucer of it stand in the room. This is the best way to get the full scent of the vinegar and the best results from it.
 Camphorated baths are much toe powerful for any but the sick. The person who has sprains or bruises can take a mild camphorated bath, but il is not pleasant bath nor one which can be recommended for daily use Taken all in all there is nothing quite as pleasant as the rose geranium bath nor one that is cheaper. A great bot. tie, half gallon, of the scent can be made for a dollar and this will last c long time.

 BABY CONTEST.

1lO1C lo ciiO pAOpooieAOAi eeAASN SAAN rules governing the contest:
 There is handsome $25.O0 solid gold locket with diamond setting and solid gold chain, on display at the Palace Jewelry store, to be given away Decem- Der 24th, 1904, to the baby boy or girl under two years of age, who wins the highest number of votes as the prettiest and sweet est baby. Now the baby that is not pretty is surely sweet, and if the wee tot be a little cross at times, beauty must offset this badness. Fond parents at least are expected to think their ba- bies are both sweet and beauti- ful, and so they do. But to set tie once for all the claims of the under two, and put at rest this rivalry of mothers and fathers, the Independent has inaugurated a contest that is to be determined by that cherished right, popular ballot, and in accordance with the following rules:
 BABY PRIZE CONTEST RULES.
 First baby that has reach ed the age of two years Nov. l, 1904, is eligible to this contest, nor shall any employe or party connected with this paper be eli gible to vote.

Coupons will not be sold, and will only be issued for job, ad and subscription busi- ness, but extra copies of the h. dependent at 2 cents per copy, each containing one ballot, will be sold at this office.
 Third-All votes must be sent to this office and will be de- posted in a lock box, to be opened at 8 o'clock each publication day and counted. The daily issue of that afternoon will contain the total of the several candidates and the public will thus be kept informed of the voting each day.
