People from Keyport Had Trouble
Sand ON Track.

During the storm Saturday after
noon the people coming from Key
port were compelled to wait for the
Pubic Service cars, standing in a
car with the glass out of all the win
dows and the rain pouring in onto
them. A party who saw them-the
ladies in their white dresses and the
gentlemen wearing white trousers,
with their clothes spoiled by the
rain and dirt-said the people who
signed the remonstrance against al
lowing the Keyport Traction ears to
come into the borough ought to have
eel them.
Saturday night the cars found
great difficulty getting around the
curve corner of Broadway and Bor-
dentown avenue, and again Sunday
night after the downpour of rain,
which came down in torrents and
hiled the tracks with sand and grav-
Ell. For awhile the motormen and
conductors used poles to clear out
h tracks, but after two or three
cars worked their way through in
that manner the remainder did not
attempt it and no more cars were
run to the borough limits until about
10 O'Clock, when G.. Straub, who was
waiting to get to his home on the
Heights, took a pole and cleaned the
tracks and the next carg carried the
passengers waiting to go to Keyport,
all the way through. After that the
cars again stopped at the corner and
those who wanted to go to, or come
from Keyport could foot it to or
from Broadway. G.. Straub was one
of the signers most opposed to the
Pubic Service traction company stop
ping on Broadway at the Central
station instead of going to the end
of the route. 1t is easy to see now
how it will be in winter. One of the
on a car, when told by a man
that he would get them a shovel,
said heA Wasn't shoveling. The man
laugher and said he didn't blame
him.

A Protective Duty.

The whistling boy has been cele-

mained for New Jersey farmer to
clinch sentiment with a sound prin-

He wanted a boy to pick his
grapes and went among his neigh
bors looking for one who whistled.
He found such boy without diff
Guilty and sent him up the ladder
with the order not to cease whis-
ting until the last grape was picked.
Any one who has tried to whistle
and eat grapes at the same time
knows how little of the farmers
harvest was DETECTED into the boys
stomach. But the tale recalls that
older one of the boy whose father
sent him down cellar to draw a
pitcher of cider and ordered him to
whistle while he was doing it. The
whistle ceased for a time, however,
and then went on again. When the
boy reappeared he was asked why he
had stopped
"Only to wet my whistle" he said.

ANCIENT DOG ToNGS.
They Were Used to Eject ouarrelins
CANNES From Church.

CANNES From Church.
Among the many quaint customs
existing in remote country parishes
in Wales until early in the last CEN
tury not the least interesting was
the use of the dog tongs, known as
"gefail gwn" in the vernacular.
These curious and somewhat forlni-
dable instruments, it need scarcely
be said, were intended for eiecting
quarrelsome dogs from church dur
ing divine service.
The Welsh farmer, living in his
solitary home, some distance from
the church and combining his spir-
itual needs with his material occu-
pations, would take his sheep dog
with him to church, looking after
his focls andherds by the way. His
canine friend was in some instances
allowed to remain under the seat so
long as he behaved himself and re-
Trained from quarreling with other
dogs within the sacred precinct. At
the slightest sign of quarrel the
parish functimary, who was provid-
ed with a stool, ''set at the church
door for the officer that cleans the
church from dogs" forthwith eject
ed the offenders with the tongs,
which were sufficiently strong and
secure against any resistance.
The intrusion of dogs in church
was not confined to Wales AS early
as 1892 the farmers in the parish of
Workshop took their sheep dogs
with them to church, while as late
as 1917 the same custom prevailed
at Kirton-in-Lindsey. One of Arch
bishop Laud's reasons for ordering
the erection of communion rails is
said to have originated in his desire
to keep dogs away from the altar
and from defhng it. Sometimes
these dog tongs were of wood, some
times of iron. - English Country
