All boys like to earn few pennies
now and then, but Mark Twain tells of
a very unusual way in which he once
made the princely sum of So as a small
boy. At one school he attended there
was a strict rule against marking the
desks. Any boy discovered mutilating
desk must be punished, being offered
his choice between paying So or TAX
ing public whipping. The irresistible
combination of a shiny topped desk and
brand new knife in his pocket was
too much for Mark. He succumbed to
the temptation and whitfield away I'M
til the teacher caught him. The punish
ment was set for the following day,
and Marks father, thinking it a pity
the lad should be publicly whipped.

Newark advertisers are in the paper.
The editor announces thatlumber and
boards and 10 and II penny wrought

come very acceptable. n. R. Phillips
of the Morristown paper mills adver-
tised for rags and Samuel u. Guering
offers a reasonable reward for stray

j. AN Houten s. Co, near the Rap-
tist meeting house have a fine stock
of boots and shoes, with bread crack
ers and cake from Browns bakery as
a side line. The Powles Hook Ferry
announces that there are now two
new fast and convenient steamboats,,
the George Washington and Richard
Varrick, plying between Jersey City
and Cortlandt street, New York, leav-
| ing every fifteen minutes. Charles
johnson, of Morris Plains, appeals to
those indebted to him to call and set
tie without delay. The Henry Cooper
farm of Mendham was advertised for
sale by Hezekiah S. Woodruff and
Jesse Upson, executors. James An

South side of the Green and wanted
an apprentice. Jacob Wilson, sheriff,
adYertises several unfortunates Peter
Freeman s. Co., want apples at their
distillery near William yohnes and a
few bushels of wild cherriers at their
store, and also announce that they
have added to their supply of dry
goods, hardware, groceries, crockery
and books, and make an urgent ap-
peal to those indebted to them over
six months to call and arrange their
accounts. Evidently the holding up
of tradesmen is not a modern inven-
tion. J. M. King & Co., dealt in
drugs, medicines, dye stuffs, paints,
oils, economical chamber lamps,
which burn without wick, gun
powder, etc. The usual amount of
patent medicine advertising is con-
tanned in the paper, guaranteed, as
usual, to cure all ills.
In the foreign news is the announce
ment of the death Of the Prime Min
lister of England, George Canning, and
other items of interest.
Altogether the paper is most dig
nified publication and aside from the
advertisements might as well have
been published in Boston as Norris

Forty Five Good Time.
Rev. F. B. Dwight and Mrs. Dwight
entertained the members of Glass
Forty Five Of the South Street Pres
byterian Sunday School at their home
" The Holt 2 on Kitchell avenue on
Wednesday evening. Strangely just
forty-five members Of the class were in
attendance. First on the program
came an inspection Of the property
which DIR. Dwight purchased some
time ago from the estate Of the late
Frank r. Stockton. The fact that for
several summers it was the boyhood
home of President Roosevelt was also
referred to. A group picture was taken
by II. G. Ratley.
After the walk, supper was served in
the cathedral woods as DR.. Dwight
calls the grove in the rear of the house
where the trees have so grown as to
resemble a high vaulted cathedral.
The long table was prettily decorated
and bounteous supper was served.
Then with Dir. Dwight presiding a
number of speeches were called for.
Senator S. S. Childs, the president Of
the class, was the first speaker. Then
followed j Frank Lindsey, a. Fl. Pier
son, j. H. Madigan, H. B. Hoffman
and Thomas B. Ironside.
After singing the doxology the party
repaired to the house where the early
evening was spent in singing accom-
panied by George Udall with his cor
net and Miss Westeftield at the piano
Later there was an impromptu stere
opticon exhibition,
Altogether the occasion was unique
for Sunday schoolclass and thorough
| ly enjoyable.

At Lake Hopatcong an association
has been formed, called the Hopatcong
Fish Association, for purpose of pro-
tecting and propagating fish in the
lake. This association is composed of
business men. who are determined to
make the fishing in the lake first class.
Their plans include the maintaining
of rearing ponds, into which small fish
may be placed and there fed and pro-
tected until they are of ufficient size
to be able to take care Of themselves
when placed in the lake. Their pur-
pose does not end with stocking the
lake, but they further intend to en-
force the game laws for the protection
of the fish now in the lake, and of
those subsequently to be added from
the rearing ponds. Every member OF
the association will be deputy war
den, and with hundred such officers
about the lake it will be exceedingly
difficult for violations to to undetected.

IA FINANCIAL
SENSATION.
Edward F. Duffy, the Newark
Manager for Bache & Co.,
Suddenly Disappears.
MANY CREDITORS MOURN.

Edward f. Duffy, general manager
of j. S. Bache & Co. stock and invest
ment brokers, Of New York, with
Newark branch Office, disappeared from
his summer cottage at Lake Hopat-
cong a week ago Saturday and has not
been seen since. The Newark Office is
now in charge of a representative Of
Bache s. Co, and asexpert accountant.
1t is stated that the firm accounts
seen to be all right, although the book
keeping methods we're very loose.
While Bache s. Co.. are reported as
claiming that they are not responsible
for Mr.. Duffy's obligations, we are as
sured by a banker that SO far as money
paid to him in their Office or on ac-
count Of their business they are re-
sponsible for and the governing board
of the Stock Exchange will hold them
to the contracts made even though
the money was not turned over to the
firm.
The affair has considerable local in
terest from the fact that Mr.. Duffy
has spent much OF his time here in
the last few years and had number
of intimate personal friends here. He
was always very liberal in his ways
and his money and property we're al
ways at the disposal of his friends. a
fine team and carriage OF former years
were supplemented with an auto and
it has been in constant use not only by
the family of Mr. Duffy but by his
friends as we'll. He rented cottage
for the season at Lake Hopatcong and
provided an automobile boat which
were used to entertain lavishIy. He
impressed his acquaintances with the
idea that he had special opportunities
for making money on the stock mar
ket, but it is said that cotton was his
undoing. 1t is reported that his
handsome furniture in Newark was
in the name of his mother-in-law, and
the automobile and boat were turned
over to other parties before he disap-
peared.
There are all sorts OF wild rumors
current in regard to the amount Of
money Duffy has secured from Norris
town parties. That he has some cred
itors here is doubtless true, and some
of the parties whose names are mem
toned in connection with the affair
decline to talk. 1t has been said in
another case that the average man is
so tickled to know that he is even
suspicioned of having large sum of
money to lose that he is willing to
rest under the imputation of being
easily worked, and the idea may hold
in the present case. While we all
sympathize with the unfortunate VIC
Tins of misplaced confidence it is for
tunate that the loses are Of a private
character and no public Institution
has been injured or its safety as the
custodian of the peoples money leo
lpardized. 1t is simply a repetition Of
the old story, "they that want big in
terest on their money must take
doubtful security"
1t would be interesting to know lust
how much money has been lost in
Morristown in the last forty years by
persons using sentiment instead OF
business sense in making investments.

Not Teddx,s.

An exchange prints the following
story -:
" In the house where Washington
dwelt at Morristown there hangs an
old fiintlock musket over the fireplace
in the kitchen. Upon the stock are
branded the letters 1T. r.
Some visitors examined the musket
one day. 5c
g | wonder whose initials those are, 2
said a young man. IT. r. why,
Teddy Roosevelt, of course.
The other members Of the party
laughed, and an aged gentleman, who
guards the treasures of the historic
place, sprang hastily forward with a
frOwn.
"Teddy Roosevelt ?" he cried. mo,
no, no Timothy Hickey. Can't you
read the label? Teddy Roosevelt
nonsense ~
And he looked disgust at the smart
yonng man till the young mans face
turned red"
