Foot balls and base calls are danger
Gus articles = sometimes = especially
when they are making calls via the
aerial route. Two young bloods of
this island have made this discovery
this week to their disgust.
Accident number one occurred Fri
day last on the lot opposite the Wild
wood POST Office, when a lively game
of foot ball was in progress. 1t hap
pened that Will Schell entered the
field Of action just in time to obstrust
the course of the football i'll its aerial
flight, much to the Indignation of
WHIPS lip which Immediately swelled
up not unlike a toy balloon. Now
VIII is in bed nursing that much abus-
ed member and he can't even crack a
smile or squeeze out a whistle.
Accident number two occurred Sat
urday on the same field. In this in
stance a base ball was the star per-
when James Brannan endeavored to
do a stunt by catching the ball on the
bridge on his nose. The ball struck all
right but it didn't stick and Jim's
organ of smell started 10 rapidly de-
velop into a miniature camel's hump,
to the discernment of the boys who adj
vised Jim to run for the doctor. The
member is now recovering from its
temporary prominence and undoubted-
ly will soon resume its normal func-
ton.

VIII Make FraternaI Visit

On Monday evening, December 18th,
Beach Council, No. ISL, Jr. o. U. A.
NJ, of Wildwood, will pay a fraternal
visit to Aetna Council, No. 143, of Sea-
vile. Beach Council will be accom-
panied by a delegation from Cold
Spring Council, No. 1876 and Goshen
Council, No. 81. The parties will go
by automobile and carriages and a
pleasant time is anticipated. All men,
bers of the order who may be on the
island on that date will be made well
come.
That Beach Council is gaining a firm
foothold on the island is evidenced by
the increased number of members at
tending, also the increase in its finan-
ces, which is no doubt partially due to
the fact that after each meeting of
council a collation. is served. It's
astonishing how a little 'treat'' will
bring out the members.

will no doubt find satisfaction in the
announcement that Miss Nance O'Neill

of Sudermann's greatest dramatic
work, "Magda."
In this character Miss O'Neill has

not only in Boston, but also in Lon
don and the great cities OF Australia
and South Africa, during a four
years tour around the world. One OF
Miss O'Neill's marked characteristics
is originality and all OF her imperson-
atoms are noteworthy from the fact
that she does not slavishly follow ira
ditions, but is eminently natural and
sincere, impressive in her dramatic
power and moving in her pathos.
Nature has richly endowed this
young actress with magnetism, temper
