schooner Clara Goo(Ain. who were
brought here on the S,hooner Martha
Wallace. The men were taken from
the sinking Goodwin off Cape Henry
last Friday. They were in a terribly
exhausted condition and still showed
the effects Of their experience when
they arrived here.
The Clara Goodwin sailed from
Tampa, Fla, on December 1, bound for
Philadelphia. On December tho
schooner sprung a leak and began TO
fill rapidly. The steam pumps were
worked to their full capacity, but still
the water in the hold increased in
depth and the schooner became un-
manageable. With all hands at the
pumps. a slight lead on the water
was gained, and finally the schooner
was worked in to the southwest Of
Diamond Shoals. where temporary
shelter was found The wind shifted
and she was again at the mercy of the
waves. Then followed a week of unre-
mitting toll, the conditions growing
more and more unbearable every day.

SHARP POINT OF LETTERS.
Mail Clerk Complains of Pins Uned
in Epistles-Gets Many Digs
During Day.

"ff people must stick pins in their
letters, l wish they would cover up
the points SO they wouldn't push
through" said a mail clerk, whose
hands were disfigured by tiny scratches,
relates the New York Times. "TM bet
I get 100. digs a day from pins that sys-
tematic folks use to hold their corre-
spondence together. l never could
make out, anyway, why so manNlAtters
need to be finished off with q PIN. OF
course, l understand that about half
of those written by women have a post
script In the shape of a sample of dress
goods OF newspaper clippings, which
perhaps require a pin or two to hold
them in place. but even that habit can
not account for the large number of let
ters that come through the post Office
with a pin sticking out of one corner.
I have come to the conclusion that
many writer's so nail their manuscript
with malicious intent. 1t may not be
us fellows in the postal service against
whom they hold a grudge. but we are
the ones that usually get the benefit Of
those pins"

zone of my first discoveries" said q
New England woman who had been
transplanted to a New York fiat, accord
ing to the Sun, was that fiat jewellers
made no provision for company in the
way that had always supposed 1t must
be done. Such a thing as a guest room in
an ordinary fiat is apparently I'M
dreamed Of. This lack seemed very
heathenish to me. and l insisted that one
of my five rooms should be set aside as
sacred to the chance guest. Ore. day
when I was expecting two very dear
friends I was moved to mention my
pleasant anticipation to my mex neigh
Dor, a bride of a few months. Her con-
Germ for me in what she evidently re-
garded as a predicameht was funny.
Company she exclaimed. Going
to stay two weeks? What in the world

know, we've never even let my nus

AT THE CEMETERY.

Someone has been stealing flowers off
Of graves in the cemetery. They took
pansies up by the roots the day after they
were planted on a grave. That anyone
can do such Il mean act ds to steal plants
placed on graves or plots In memory OF
the dead, is hard to believe, but it Is true.
The cemetery is bright with flowers and
of the graves look lovely. The grave
of Evelyn Clark Ingraham was covered
with sweet Alyssum in full bloom, In the
midst of which were bouquets of brighter
flowers. Mr.. and Mrs. Symmes lngra-
ham, the parents, have just had a hand
some monument placed In their plot.

.TRINoUET ORIGIN OF TENNIS
Popular Game Came from Ancient
Pastime Played by the Basque
Peasantry.

Popular among the Basque ~peasantry
is an ancient game known as trinquet.
No one knows the origin of trinquet:
like all Basque customs, 1t can be traced
back and back till its history is lost in
a remote past. Nearly every court in
the country bears the aspect Of extreme
age. The court at Bayonne Is believed
to be 400 years old, and the one at st.
Jean de Luz looks older than the one at
Bayonne. When Louis XIV, who was
married In st. Jean de Luz church, vent
down TO the little frontier town to meet
his Spanish bride he found the Basques
OF st. Jean de Luz energeticalIy play
ing their ancient game; and he took
the idea back with him to Paris, and
from 1t largely modified comes the game
OF tennis. Tennis and trinquet are very
similar, save that. instead of racquets
a leather arrangement, known as a
glove, is used for ~propelling the ball.

Saturday. Friday night a party came
into his store and told him they were
surprised ut him. That he was not a
good Hebrew for he had not closed up his
store. The merchant said but little In
response at the time, but other parties
coming along later in the evening were
surprised to see his store closed up al
most an hour earlier than usual. The
next morning he was accused OF turning
Hebrew. 1t leaked out that he had
looked at the clock when 1t was $50 and
thought it was 1926 instead, SO closed
the store; thereby helping the others
along in their joke on him.

SOUTH AMBOY
DOG NOT YET FOUND.

The valuable spaniel dog which came
from the northwest territory Of Canada
and was valued so highly by Mr.. Sam
uels, OF Broadway, got lost in New York
City about two weeks ago and has not
yet been found. Mr.. SamueIs advertised
and offered a reward for him. No on
responded to it. The dogs mother
pulled u sleigh last year with Mr.. Sam
uels In 1T and in another year this one
would have been able to do so also; as
that is what the dogs were used for where
he came from. rom it's appearance 1t
would have been taken for a real pet dog,
which it was at the present time, and
none would have believed it came from
working stock such as it's mother claims.
