Smyrna is no "Gretna Green" but
Judging from the work done BY Rev.
Albert Chandler, pastor Of smyrna
Circuit since April 2sth, 1893, one
might think that everyone is going the
Smyrna Circuit Parsonage way. In
this time the genial pastor has married
80 couples and sent them on their way
rejoicing. The last to appear before
him were Mr.. Alday Sapp, son Of John
M. Sapp, of near Brenford and Miss
Nora H. George, daughter OF Thomas
r. George of near town who were
quietly married Sunday evening &C
seven o'clock. Rev. Chandler left yes
terday for Conference and took W.
him good report despite the severe
winter weather which has kept him
much. of the time from serving his
country appointments. The three
charges on Smyrna Circuit are Jerman
Chapel this town, SeversOn's VI. Z.
Church, Severson's Neck and Friend
ship NJ. E. Church. ThorOughfars
Neck. During the year he has taken
in 20 probationers from a list of 80 con-
versions which have taken place on the
circuit the past year. His collections
are we'll in hand and all together he
will make as good a showing as be has
ever made. The Quarterly Conferences
has unanimously asked him to return
for another year.

mUsKR4T SEASON DRAWING TO A CLOSE
Season Has Been One Of Continued DlscOur-
sgement to Trappers, with Small Catch.

THoRoUGHFARE NECK, March IA
Musk-at trappers are working hard the
last days of the trapping season and
many hundreds of the little rodents
are being caught. Nevertheless this
week closes the most unsuccessful
trapping season in the memory of old
trappers, who say that muskrats were
never so scarce before. Above Taylor's
Bridge the marshes have not made
running expenses and the catch will
fall short at least one-haIf elsewhere.

"THE HONOR SYSTEM .

There are things to be learned IN the schools
which count for manhood and successful life, than
laid down in the curriculum
Honor for instance, is better than all the learning In
world With that alive and keen the poorest intellect
ual endowments not prevent from being man
worthy to stand unabashed with the best OF his fellows
without that all the learning and polish that the highest
schools can give are but suning and veneer
The ''honor system adopted by Princeton college in
1892 is found to be practical success Recently at
Princeton examination freshman who discovered
sheating notified by representatives of the four
classes that he must leave the college, Last year five
freshmen who bought stolen examination papers were
expelled.
1t very curious circumstance that at few Of the
important educational institutions of this country
is the "hono system" found be practicable And we
wonder why college education does not better t young
men for success in life
We may stuff them with mathematics, languages,
sciences and all the res and polish them with eegancies
Of mind and manners, and still leave them lacking in
the fundamental element of manhood There is no moral
improvement in mere intellectual development To edu-
cate liar is only increase his ability to sneak
and lie The greatest criminals of history and the great
est scoundrels of today are educated.
Honor is a virtue in ITSELF it is the mail behind
which the virtues fight securely. man without
honor weak in his equipment for the real contests
of life as accouered knight without his helmet

All stomach trouble it removed by the
use of KodOl Dyspepsia Cure. Itgives
the stomach perfect rest by digesting
what you eat without the stomach's

A CHANGE OF A LETTER

A LMOST half century ago the
n novelist Thackeray delighted his
American admirers by coming to the
United States and delivering his lectures
on The Four Georges The lecturer
and his addresses were so much talked
about that from all parts of the country
came demands for The Four Georges "
in print; as a result, the first American
edition soon appeared.
In the lecture on George III. Thackeray
waxed eloquent over the English middle
class, to whom" he said 1--WE must look
for the safety of England: the working
educated men, the good clergy not cor
rupted by hopes of preferment, the
tradesmen rising into manly opulence,
the painters pursuing their gentle calling,
the men of letters in their quiet studies. :"
This portion of the copy CHANGED to
fall into the hands of young type
setter, who picked up an R instead of an
A for the first syllable of painters. In
reading the line of type he was so amused
at noting the distinguished company in
which he had placed the men of his own
craft that he let the mistake stand, hoping
II WOulu plONOhC d oli tllC Sillll ldSC
of the proof-reader. But the proof
reader failed to notice the error; or per-
haps he passed it along as a joke for the
second reader of proofs, who also was
veteran printer Again the proof-sheet
came back with the error uncorrected;
then the spirit of fun drove sense of pro-
fessional duty from the mind of the type
setter, who said to himself:
Let it stand-for the honor of our
trade. Printers are as good as painters,
besides being far more necessary to the
safety of England or any other country"
So the error stood, and as the book
was read largely there soon was per-
ceptible a marked increase of American
respect for printers-a respect which was
not undeserved for the printers of that
day were in the main educated men and
supplied the country with some successful
editors and authors Nevertheless,
Thackeray's inclusion of the profession
among others which previously had
ranked higher was encouraging and
stimulating in the extreme to a lot of
aspiring men at the type-case and print
ing press, and editors like Horace Greeley,
Henry ]. Raymond, William Cullen
Bryant and George William Curtis quoted
the passage in the course of addresses on
The Art Preservative of All Arts
Thirty years later, when the man re-
sponsible for the blunder had joined the
church and also become an editor and
author, he took his own copy of The
Four Georges" from his bookshelf one
night to divert his mind from some work
that had been over-exacting. Chance
led his eye to the perverted passage,
