cARTERET BORN AGAIN.
A New Jersey Village Is Rechristened
 Roosevelt.

From the New York World.
 Keep your eye on Carteret, N. J. It is the gamest. most independent town on the map. Even though it has just been reorganized as the borough of Roosevelt amid great rejoicing, the old name of Carteret will not fail. As for the people of Roosevet-which. of course, includes Chrome and generous slice of Wood bridge-you can't even tie lem, much less beat 'em.
 The making over of Carteret into the borough of Roosevelt has been long and difficult job but these devoted souls do not know how to finch. When the project came up before the legislature at Trenton last winter certain envious ones from Woodbridge declared that Carteret couldn't pull out of their town ship because they owed S5000 as their share of the sewerage debt.
 "Tll pay $25Os of that one Carteret citizen offered promptly. And I'll pay the other S25O0. said an , other.
 That squelched the opposition for a while. but presently another obiector popped up.
 How about the s400o balance you owe or the new public school honseY' .'We'll take care of that. too.' respond ed the citizens of carteret.
 This did not by any means kill the op- position But the Cartereters fought so hard and so long that the legislature at last passed an enabling act which per mitted Carteret. Chrome and the big slice of Woodbridge to hold meeting 10 de- eide upon the matter of forming them selves into the independent borough of Roosevelt.
 To say that great excitement prevailed gives only faint and shadowy idea of +he thrills that ran through the populace from Casey's creek around to the Rah- way river and so on to the kill van Kull Carieret proper is on broad low. green hill at the north end of this tract

Two hundred invitations were issued and number Of rather unique and de- lightful features arranged for the chill drens' entertainment. pretty souvenirs distributed, the dantiest refreshments served and the entire house and grounds thrown hospitably open for games dances and romps. Assisting MT. and Mrs Culom in receiving the little guests were their daughter, Mrs William Mudd Walker. and Mrs. w. NJ. Mayes.
 The rooms were decorated with red roses and ferns. A string orchestra was stationed in the rear of the hallway and under an arch of green were the two 'magic baskets,' one for the boys and one for the girls. These were myste- riously covered and filled with unknown gifts balls and tops and little boats, and Swiss chateaus" and dolls. and beads and every sort of thing that children like, and one by one, these mysteries were ished for and secured while the prettlest little wicker baskets filled with chocolates and strawberry paper were distributed all round Out on the lawn B'ApfzeNtCAAN-A e@S%~N engaged, a funny litie clown who turn ed somersauts and stood on his head and walked on his hands "and beat the circus to smash Also under one of the trees there was a shooting match arranged, a William Tell play, only the gun had flour instead of gunpowder but 1t could hit the apple just the same and make q noise Inside the house one of the salon rooms was converted into a "dark room and here shadow plays and pictures and a shaddowgraph show progressed with a ventriloquist In the background who could sound like the zoo," while out on the broad veranda man., also a professional, played quick tunes on the banjo and told dozens of funny stories In between. Never before in Birmingham has a more thoroughly delightful and interesting entertainment been devised for the lltle folks and every feature and every moment of it was en- thusiastically appreciated. It has been custom of MT and Mrs. Cullom to give chlldrens' entertainment every year or so for the younger members of their little family. and as one of the litle guests remarked. just exactly what boy likes,s and little girl said what girl likes, too"

GARDEN PARTY AT GLEN IRIS.

Even the ices were roses, delcately moulded. of every color that is a rose, from the pale shell pink of the La France, chal Mel to the snow white of the Bride and the bursting reddish tinge of the American Beauty. And the table, laden with leaf-fringed plates, filagree baskets of dainty cut sandwiches, fruits. nuts, can dies, salads and ices, was almost a little rose garden too, grown under the very trees at it were in shadow of the tall white pillars of the colonial house on that broad, high, green crest of the Glen Iris slope just where it pauses while before dipping down into the fragrant hollows of Red mountains base.
 And the day-perfect-so radiant with sunlight, blue sky and drift of white clouds and flower petals and the thousr and subtitle perfumes of the May-with lthat far rise and long, vast reach of the green hill beyond--certainly there could not have been more charming time or sweeter place for a little garden party for a bride than just this, yesterday afternoon given by Mrs. Robert Jemison at her Glen Iris home in honor of Mrs. John Snow Jemlson, Jr.
 Flowers-every one of which was home grown--were everywhere, both cut and planted roses and roses again. brilliant peonies, rhododendrons, snowballs what Is left of them-lilies of the Annunciation. honeysuclxle jasmine, still more roses-all this gay riot of color and floating frag- rance over green 1awns-this. and the light spring gowns and garden hats of the women-it was perfectly charming.

From the New Idea Magazine.

From the New Idea Magazine. eH ONE one once asked q woman how
 she kept her youth so wonderfully. Her hair was white, she was over eighty years old, but she never impressed one with an idea of age. This was her answer: "I laugh and l do not allow my self to brood over imaginary ills. When l have a fit of the blues I stand up and force myself to ha-ha aloud. l repeat this several times, and by the time l finish l am genuinely at myself because l feel in good temper"
 i If women would follow the example of this elderly woman there would be fewer melancholy creatures in the world allow ing little things to distract them. A new element of good cheer would be created and the morose person would lengthen her days, keep her health, and retain her friends.
 One of the latest fads in Paris is the doctor of smiling, and the doctors who prescribe the mirth cure. on the principle of.'1augh and grow fat do it from deep seated motives.
 Apart from the fact that taking things good naturedly helps a woman to be as happy as circumstances will allow q hearty laugh stimulates the nervous sys- tenn, and stimulation of the nerves has various other effects besides those of ex- citing sensations. It may stimulate or check the action of the heart and aeceler- ate or retard the movements of respira- tion.
 These things are enough, but they arc not all for laughter. by increasing the Nf ly dr,, hNrf ha iG m. of the best exercises in the world for de- Velopng the chest and parts of the anat- omy not called into use by ordinary breathing.

SEEING BRIGHT SIDE IS GOOD FOR NERVOUSNESS

Another beautifier-for health brings beauty-is relaxation. It is not uncommon to hear women, particularly housekeepers,
 complain that they have no time to rest,
 or that they are so nervous that they sim
 ply must do something. Such women are
 simply spelling their good looks and run
 ming the risk of losing the affection of
 their families
 When father, husband, or brother comes
 home at night tired, the woman who has
 taken enough time to lie down and com
 pose her mind from the fret of the day,
 will have the advantage of appearing fresh, good natured and collected. A rest of fifteen minutes each day in a quiet
 room. removing if possible the clothing and always relaxing the muscles, will do
 away with the tired feeling and extreme | nervousness with which the present-day woman is badly afflicted.
 There are other ways in which over wrought women can rest and try to over come this tendency to tension and nerv- | ousness. When trying to catch an omni- bus the average woman runs and. if she does not scramble on to 1t in a breathless | condition. she waits on a cold corner for
 the next one instead of walking vigorous l ly up and down a protection from the | cold

 i Cultivate the sense of humor. and learn 1 to relax, and a good many of lfe's battles
 will be won. Intensity in youth is the | forerunner of narrowness in middle life | and woman without sense of humoi
 is ptiable object She misses half ths pleasure in life and loses what is better
 than all the cosmetics ever made. To sec
 the bright side of existence it is valu- able asset.

FEEDERS FOR UNION PACIFIC
Hartman to Build Important Branch Lines
in Nebraska.
ONE FROM BEATRICE TO GRAND ISLAND
Another VIII BE from Omaha to
Kansas City by Way
of Lincoln and
Topeka.

Hartman is again branching out with
new lines, and this time right in Ne
braska. The latest line to be projected
by the Union Pacific system is one from
Beatrice to Grand Island. The Union
Pacific has announced it's policy of building
feeders wherever practicable, and this line
would not only be q feederr running
through one of the rich parts OF the
state, but would also form a splendid con-
nection for business from the west to
Kansas City. This might not work to
the advantage of Omaha, but this city
has nothing to fear from the Overland
line in the way of Determinations against
this city for It is we'll established that the
interests OF the Union Pacific center more
in Omaha as the gateway to the west than
in any other city.
The Union Pacific is now working on a
line from Omaha to Kansas City which
would make a good nights run between
the two cities, and, besides, runs through
the capitals of two states, Lincoln and
Topeka The Kansas part of the line is
being constructed by a branch cutoff from
Topeka to Marysville, and surveys are at
work on the line from Omaha to Lincoln.
The line from Beatrice to Grand Island
would run through the counties of Hamil-
ton York, Fillmore and Saline adding just
that much territory to the great Union
/ Pacific system

WoRLAND A WESTERN WONDER
J. e. buckingham Describes the New
Town and the Rush for
Land.

J. e. buckingham, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Burlington, returned
from Worland Friday, where he was In at
tendance at the opening Of registration for
the lands which the government is to give
away on the Shoshone reservation. He says
the registration is running about $50 a day
at Worland and daily increasing, which Is
considered very good when II is taken into
consideration that there is no surrounding
population to draw upon.
"A new worlds record was made in track
laying into Worland" said Mr.. Bucking-
ham. For on the day the track was nm
ished into Worland 1900 feet were laid In
one day, the men working but eight hours
and twenty minutes. But ninety-seven men
were employed on the work and the track
was surfaced and completed in that time.
The last 1000 feet was laid and completed
in one hour and eighteen minutes. This is
far ahead of any previous record ever
| made.
''The town Of Worland is a wonder, for
where five months ago everything was sage
brush, a permanent population of 500 has
been established, with ample accommoda-
lions to care for 1000 people a day. The
town is not only full Of people who wish to
! take a chance in Uncle Sans lottery, but
also OF people with money looking for
farms and irrigated lands Considerable
| interest is being shown at Sheridan and
Billings in the Shoshone opening. for these
people know of the value of the Wind River
lands. Special excursions will be run from
these towns to carry the people who wish
TO 20 to register. Large numbers of pro
fessional men, lawyers and doctors are alsC
on the scene ready to locate"
