Fred Overhen, of Wall Lake,
has had an experience very few would
like. He had been over to neighbor' s
and, coming home, he saw swarm OF
bees heading for the horses. He got
out of the wagon and was throwing
clots of dirt at them when the whole
swarm lit upon the back of his coat.
He walked home about 30 rods, and
his son brushed the bees into hive.
Neither he or his son were stung.

for $500 by New Hampton man who
tripped on a board walk and fell.
This is the fourth damage claim against
the town of Nashua within the past

justified in doing. Sumner Gazette.

Hardin county mud turtles are COM
manding a good price on the Phila-
delphia fish market as ''sea turtles
and as a result a thriving industry
has been inaugurated by couple of
enterprising citizens of Ackley.
Finding there was demand for the
common turtle that thrives in the
rivers, ponds and corn fields of Iowa,
these men are shipping several barrels
of the product each week. Turtles
find ready market at eight cents a
pound in Philadelphia and seem to be
relished as delecatessen dish by the
fasteners. The new industry seems
10 be in its infancy and as the crop
annually is large one, the supply
promises to keep up with the demand.

A Bit Of Fairyland.

Cruising down Milford sound, New

after shower, the mountains are like
fatryland. No longer grim and black

away, dissolving in misty rain. We

Under our system of elections

Under our system of elections
and government there does not
seem to be any way of getting
rid of the political boss. But
this much can be done and is be-
ing done every little while; we
can change bosses. Odell of

this type to lose his scepter. He
ruled, just as Plat ruled and
others ruled, until his record
smelled to Heaven, then the
voters rose and unseated him.

WILDWOOD MANOR NEARS COMPLETION
Outside Carpenter Work About
Done, SIate Roof on and
Plasterers Rough Coat
Ing Upper Stories

Wildwood Manor, the magnificent
5000, 900 new hotel being erected in
North Wildwood by Contractor Thos.
Goslin, passed the primary stage
of construction some time ago. The
skaters have completed the roofing in
o fthe building at a rapid rate and the
plasterers are now at work on the upper
stories of the building, having rough
coated the two lower floors. The
plumbers and electricians have also
advanced their work as far as it is
possible to until the finishing touches
are given the hotel.
The outside carpenter work is about
completed though the major portion of
the inside finishing will not be attempt
ed until spring, nor will Contractor
McLinden start the concrete finish of
the outside walls until that time. In
fact work for the present will be dis
continued in Il few weeks and not
taken up till the f'back bonen of winter
-s broken.
Many visitors to the resort of late
have grasped the opportunity to in
spect the hotel in its unfinished state
and pleasing are the expressions of ad-
mirat1on made by all.

A WRONG START.
The Kind of Talk THAI Makes a Wife
Grow Dissatisfied.

Many a girl is taught dissatisfaction
from the moment she marries-not an
%ennobling spirit, but the contrary. She
starts life from a false point of view.
Marriage and the "happy ever after
give way to prospective pity. She is
pitied for everything; pitied because
"a woman has $ much to go through"
pitied for having a baby to come and
one to take care of afterward; pitied
for having a house to look after when
she has a baby, too, and for having
the sewing on her hands and for being
tiled down. pitied because her hus-
band doesn't realize all she goes
through though, goodness knows, 1t
isn't because she doesn't tell him, and
it's her right to tell him if she wants
to. She is pitied because she can't go
to parties and make calls and pltied
for every ache and pain and limitation.
as If that ache or pain or limitation
were in itself an end Of life, not some
thing that in its very nature is fleet
ing and changeable-as II each cause
for pity had not Its root In some joy
or some gain or some privilege. SYM
pathy helps, but the thing that makes
this mistaken pity blight instead of
restore is the fact that it accentuates
unduly where 1t cannot alleviate. In
spite of the pity of her world, the mar
ried girl has to keep up with the work
and the responsibility and the pains
and aches just the same; they are
hers; no one can take them from her.

AN EXCITING BASKET BALL GAME
Rough House" Tactics Stop the
Game and Cause Free Fight

The Anglesea basketball contingent
took a journey to Wildwood last Friday
evening and was playing a good game,
leading the Wild wood by six goals to
their opponents three. Wild WOO dmade
a squirt of good plays and crept up
within three points of Anglesea's
score when thine" was called.
During the game the Anglesea boys
were accused of playing football in
stead of basketball though both sides
were guilty of violations of the rules,
yet the partiality of the umpire clearly
showed that he was a Wildwood
rooter and should not have held that
position.
Whilst the game was in progress III
of the little fellows of Wildwood" got
hurt and played 1.-THE baby" If he
was of the right mettle he should have
taken his medicine manly without
crying; to his shame, when the UNI
pire and the Anglesea giant were
arguing as to the justice of a decision,
he ran up behind the giant and gave
him a severe blow on the side of the
face. This overt act was the signal for
free for all fight, with the giant in the
middle making right and left swings
that landed a pile around him on the
floor. The attacked giant discreetly
made for the door and with the assis-
lance of friends, was showed through,
away from the "hornets nest" ofangry
Wildwood boys who seemed to be the
only contestants left on the bloodless
field and yet we cannot forget the half
dozen or more black eyes and bruised
faces of the middle city" boys.
Boys, have fun and lots of it, but
through it all you can be gentlemen.
A genuine sport will be a true gentle
man, and will not be profane, vulgar
nor unfair. Treat the vanquished with
courtesy and 10y your gentlemanly con-
duct demand the same in return.
Thus you can elevate pleasant and
manly sports, and also by ruling
.intoxicants out of use, you will get the
ladies and gentlemen Of the combined
resorts to become enthused over the
games that you enjoy.
Father and mother enter into the
spirit of the games of your sons
Yours for manly sports,

MAKE ELECTIONS A FARCE

Voting machine inaccuracies pre-
vented the State Board of Canvassers
from officially declaring the vote of the
State Tuesday. This puts the conten-
ton that voting machines are invaluable
and cannot go wrong where it belongs
lin the lie class. There are other
objections to the machines. They dis
courage independent voting. They
prevent a secret ballot. They disfran-
chise many. The revelation that the
machines are not reliable, though, is
the last straw.
Only one advantage can now be
claimed for the machines-they make
the returns known quickly. If quick
returns are the only object Of elections
lets keep the machines. They give
quick returns, but they make of the
ballot a farce. Why vote at all if you
have nc assurance that your vote is
registered as you wish it?-Long Branch

THE WILDWOOD HOLLY BEACH FREIGHT
DEPOT CONSOLIDATED
All Freight Now Goes 10 Mont
gOmery Avenue. o. T.
Bavins Chief Clerk

The freight agencies at Wildwood
and Holly Beach were consolidated
December 1st by the West Jersey and
Seashore r. R. Company and will
hereafter be known as "Wildwood-
Holly Beach, freight depot. The
freight station for both places is situa-
ted on Montgomery avenue and the
railroad. Agent o. Il. Bivins, of Angle
sea, has been transferred to the new
freight depot and will be styled as
chief clerk.
J. f. James, the special freight agent
and yard master, has been appointed
passenger, baggage and express agent
at Holly Beach to take the position of
c. G. Marks, acting.
r. D. Richman has been relieved of
his duties as freight agent at Wild
wood and is now in charge as passen-
ger, baggage and express agent.
AS yet no agent has been appointed
to take the position made vacant at
Anglesea by the promotion of o. T..
Bivins.
The changes made at this time
should facilitate and relieve the un-
satisfactory conditions which have SO
long been complained of by the BUSH
ness men of the island, especially can
this be said of the freighting depart
ment.
