In the following little story appears
variety of names of many of our
good people.
One day Smith, Jones and Brown
went out for walk. The day was
pleasant. the Rhoades fine and some
beautiful Clouds fioated gracefully
overhead. On their way they passed
the palace of the King and in Il yard
little further on some sweet Will
liams were growing. They passed IL
Forester going to the woods with an
AK over his shoulder whistling as he
went. The way led over some Hille
places and occasionally they met Il
Blackman going to his daily tell. As
they passed fiowery Glenn they
noticed purple Hays hanging softly
over the distant mountains Once
| they came to some Sellers that were
being dug andstOpped and noticed that
in the dirt there seemed to be some
Orr that resembled gold. As they
passed some lovely Holmes, there was
a delicious spicy oder on the air and
they were told that the Baker was
| just taking his pies out of the oven.
A little further on they were greeted
with Blair of trumpets and crowd
of merry makers. They asked who
the crowd was and why they were so
happy and were told that they were
the Gleasons. At intervals grave fac
ed Marshalls were stationed to keep
order and peace. On terraced lawn
high up from the road some gay color
ed Peacocks strutted proudly about.
Great Scott, said Jones, aren't they
beauties though. A little further on
was great pile of brush. Smith asked
what they were going to do with it,
and the man answered BuInham. A
young fellow with his sweet heart
passed them and the girl looked shy.

miring glance toward the pretty

passed a lad with his face tied up and
dreadfully swollen. They asked him
what was the matter and he said he
was a constant Toothacre. They
came to bubbling spring a little
further on and the waters were said
\ to be curative, which seemed to
be very true for the Moore they drank

clared- The waters followed a pretty
little stream where several were try

ran through Greenwood which they
left to climb Shorthill' near by. A
pedestrian attracted their attention
and they were told that he was a
famous Walker. having gone half way
around the world as a globe trotuer.
They stopped and gave him Penny.
They passed the Chalk works and
saw a man with a team about tc

A young man in this city with a
knack for inventing mechanical appli-
ances recently patented an article
which, it was universally agreed
would be of great benefit to railroads
The agent of big corporation at once
entered into negotiations with the in
ventor, who fixed an upset price OF
$4,000 for his idea For days they
beat about the bush until finally the
young man agreed to accept $1,000
The money was paid over, the neces-

OUR OLDEST COPPER MINE

from the mine This matter involved
litigation, which was finally settled
about the outbreak of the revolution.
The kings side won, but the judg-
ment was never paid
Soon after Franklin visited the
mine the owners placed an order in
England for the pump. AS English
law forbade the export of most kinds
of machinery to the colonies, and as
pumps were on that list, the pump
parts were shipped as old metal
With the engine came Josiah Horn
blower, who became a great light in
the engineering world of the colonies
as well as patriot in and out OF
congress.
A year was spent in building the
engine plant. George Washington
was among the famous men who jour.
neyed to the mines to see Hornblower
and the wonderful engine. AS soon
as the shafts were pumped clear min.
ing began on profitable basis. From
1775 until 1888 the troublous times
caused the shutting down of the
works.
In 1898 Nicholas J. Roosevelt, a
great granduncle of President Roose-
welt, and he and Hornblower and
some others organized the New Jer.
sey Copper Mining association to
work the mine and operate a smelter
and a copper and brass rolling mill

The oldest copper mine in America
Is the Schuyler of Arlington, n. j.,
which was opened 100 years ago.
Benjamin Franklin in 1749 advised
the owner to install a steam engine
to pump the shafts free from water.
The working of this mine began in
1714, when six tons of ore was sent
to Bristol, Eng for smelling. The
returns were large, and Immediately
a project was set on foot to establish
a smelling plant near the mine, in
which English coal would be used
and the product used for the copper
coins needed for the colonies. Soon
afterWard 10 casks of ore were
shipped to Holland.
Gov Hunter CT New York and New
Jersey in the meantime advanced the
interests of the mine, but was stubbed
by the lords of trade, who held to the
letter of the law that manufacturers
of metals should not be permitted in
the colonies; they held that all ores
mined hereabout should be sent to
England for smelling. That action
ruined the smelling and coming
project Thereafter the ore was sent
to England
AS the enterprise became profitable,
the attorney general for the colony
set forth that the mine was part of
the kings manor of East Greenwich,
and that therefore the king was en-
titled to certain share of the profits

For of iingles and stories he knew all the

At his hand with bark that was laugh

But he never amounted to much.

On the rich and the poor, and the young

He was always on hand for some kind

He nstinctively knew when friend was

But he never amounted to much.
They have folded his hands, they have

And the church couldn't hold all the

And fair memories mingled their smiles

or the ones who recalled the good deeds
of his years
But he never amounted to much.
