chean Performances.

The success of the Berne popular
theatre experiment is assured. Twice
a week the doors of the principal play
houses are open to the public at the
nominal price of ten cents to all
corners. Although theaters are sub.
sidized by the state in some countries,
the Swiss are the first without state
aid to bring to the drama the intelli-
gent and even educated citizens who
cannot pay the cheapest rates at the
regular performances. The deficit in
the box-office receipts is made up from
fund of $4,000 raised by voluntary
gifts.

a Pillow $50 Years Old.

Theodore Pidcock, a farmer OF
Washington township, N. j., has just
come into possession of what he says
Is the oldest pillow in America. Ac-
cording to tradition the pillow Is $50
years old, having been brought over
by the Dutch to New Amsterdam In
1854. II remained in one family, that
of Terriberry's of Schooley's Noun
tain, for over 200 years, and then was
purchased at an auction sale by JON
athan Pidcock. father of the present
owner.
This, they say, is the plow which
was used in breaking the ground for
the famous Observation-Disclosures Val
ley Turnpike, over which the Revolu-
tionary forces drew their cannon after
the battle of Trenton, and when they
were on their way to the defense OF
the famous Jockey Hollow Road. II
is built on the same principal as plows
of to-day, except 1t was a wooden
moldboard and wrought iron share.
All the nuts have tail burrs on them
for tightening and loosening with a
hammer, for in the old days there
were no wrenches. There is but one
handle, which is to be held with the
left hand, the right hand guiding the
horse.

THE TRUTHFULNESS OF G. w.


His first name was George, and
as he was the color of strong coffee,
of course his last name was Washing
ton. He had eyes as white as clab-
Der, teeth to match. He was running
away, as any one else might whose
birthday had gone wrong.
You see it was his first birthday-at
least the first he had ever known. He
had discovered the date of IL in uncle
Soils almanac-Feb. %. George Wash
ington's birthday.
He had heard that those lucky
enough to have birthdays got presents
thereon, and that there was to be a
holiday and parade Of the firemen
in the nearby towns in honor of this
occasion. He was naturally rather
proud and anticipatory in conse-
quence.
And then the day had come, and
there were no birthday gifts from the
white folks as he had hoped, he was
own procession, and instead of a
holiday he had been rated for laziness
and put on the woodpile.
Was 1t any wonder, under these ac-
cumulated grievances, that he ran
away, and now stood, rather SILVER
ing figure, in the muddy, half-frozen
road. while he. waited with persua-
sive grin for the buggy of Mr.. Lex
Carlin going downward?
Not only had II been common talk
In the kitchen that young Marster Lex
Carlin was counting Miss Claribel, but
George, as he stood behind old Miss
Mary's chair, had observed and drawn
conclusions for himself
Mr.. Carlin had not been near the
Fairview plantation, however, since
the first of the year, and 1t was said
that he and Miss Claribel had quar-
relied, but still there was chance of a
lift to town, and George was not the
one to lose chances.

loved, so he made room for the boy

| providing for the direct nomination
Now the Journal is fighting the very
thing it fathered, The changes have
not been enough to hurt."-Albany
Democrat
The above is fair sample of the eff
feet of the party goggles on the ami
NAL hitched to the Democratic dump,
cart.
Because the U'Ren bill is endorsed
in the Democratic platform the Dem
ocrat editor swears it's good for sore
eyes.
The Journal editor has been a
champion of direct nomination, and
at first was favorable to the U'Ren
bill.
But closer study of the provisions
of that bill revealed that it is loaded
and would kill direct nomination if 1t
was adopted
The Journal still fights for the prin-
ciples of direct nomination, but that
principle would become obnoxious
under the operations of the U'Ren
bill
In the first place the U'Ren bill
takes away existing political Gus.
toms and rights of the people and.
The U'Ren bill sweeps away politi-
cal conventions, county, district and
state, but would result in forcing the
rule of king caucus instead.
All the expense of holding the nom
nation struggles between all the par
ty aspirants would be saddled on the
people by the U'Ren bill
Independent candi lates would be.
come impossible and the rule of the
party boss and the caucus manipu'
lators would be legalized and su.
preme.
But there is no use talking to the
man who wears the green glass party
goggles He wears them from choice.
Direct nomination can be enacted
by law in the next legislature with.
out taking away from the people any
Of their present political privileges,
and without doubling election ex-
penses.
The bill The Journal editor helped
frame made the Office seek the man,
but put the expense of the direct pri.
mary on the aspirants for place.
The U'Ren bill makes a man dis.
close his political party affiliation long
in advance of the primary and cleo
tion, and thus put greater power in
the hands of the managers.
The editor of the Democrat should
take off his party goggles and read
Judge Waldo's argument against the
U'Ren bill II is sound and logical.
