Pioneer women have always used
the skill OF their fingers In making
something from nothing. Our grand
mothers were often in the case OF the
milliner who made bonnet "all out
OF her own head" and had enough left
for another. The patchwork quilts,
the rag carpets, the drawn or braided
rugs OF their day all bore testimony to
their ingenious devices for using over
things until, after various transforma-
lions. they were finally used up. In
these products OF the well-saved lels-
ure OF the farmers wife there was
noble spirit. They fostered only friend
ly rlvslries. Who ever heard OF a wo-

Officials Of the State Department
are looking at the Cuban situation
with feelings akin to dread Notwlth-
standing the belief, so hard to uproot
from the minds of some people, that
the administration would be glad of
valid excuse to pave the way to bring
Cuba under the flag, 1t is fear rather
than hope that besets the officials of
state. Cuba until the last election pc
riod was moving onward in an order
ly, prosperous course, and there was
genuine satisfaction in American adj
ministration circles over the apparent
soundness of the fruit of the tree of
independence. The passions of the
people, so easily aroused in other
Latin-Amerlcan republics, seemed in
Cuba to be checked by an unexpected
conservatism and a sincere desire to
have the world know that the mixed
races occupying the island were worthy
of the gift of freedom. Recent events,
however, have shown that the old
leaven of unrest and turmoil Is still
present The election riots at Glen
fuegos have a deep significance, it is
feared. They were not ordinary rows
to pass and leave no after-effects when
the day of the voting was done. 0i-
rect charges of undue and illegal gov
eminent acts for the purpose Of up
holding its will are made, and the op-
position party is strong enough, If 1t
tnkes the revolutionary bit in its teeth,
to throw the island back into the
scenes of Civil War which antedated
the Spanish-American conflict.

the libraries enumerated. New York

one thousand volumes, for every eleven

Mangled IS Train Hit stage.


Homeward bound, after having
played a match game with local
team. the members of the Avon basket
bali team were in merry mood as they
drove through the streets in a big stage
which they had hired There were
singing and shouting, expressions OF
qualification over the generous manner
in which they had been treated at Free
hold. The men were in the midst OF a
song as the stage started across the
South street crossing of the Pennsylva.
mia Railroad ab0nt ! O'Clock in the
morning, when suddenly the headlight
of a locomotive which swung around q
curve shed its full glare on the occu-
pants. There was the shrek of wills
tie, and the next moment a freight
train had crashed into the stage, hurl-
ing the occupants in all directions.
One of the basketball players was
killed outright and several others were
so badly mangled that it was said they
could not live. OF the fourteen persons
in the stage not one escaped unhurt.
SO sudden was the collision that none
of those in the stage had time to open
the back door and get out The driver
and two men who sat on the seat with
him also were unable to jump. AS the
train crashed into them the men were
sent flying in an directions Some OF
them landed several feet in front of
the train. while others were hurled
across a fence. The engineer, as soon
MS he saw the stage on the tracks, blew
his whistle and jammed down the
emergency brakes. This lessened the
force of the collision, and probably
saved the lives of many Of those in the
stage The men who were thrown over
the fence landed in soft dirt, and they
were the least injured AS soon as they
could they went to the aid of then
companions They found that John
Benneman had been killed instantly by
the collision, and that Howard Soffield
and Samuel Hampton were badly hurt.
The physicians found that -four Of the
other men, Leon and Robert Apgar,
Harry B0lan and Joseph Barrett, were
suffering from fractured skulls and
Thomas Murphy and Albert Barrett
had ruptured several blood vessels.
The driver and the two men who were
sitting in front of the stage were the
least injured AS soon as the injured
could be moved they were taken to the
Memorial Hospital in Long Branch.
Benneman's body was taken to his
home in Asbury Park.

Whereupon Clifford bent down over

voice for any one but Miss Grand to
hear. Whatever it was, it set Jane
husily to work upon picking small
pieces from her bouquet, and gave
Miss Agnes Tenant worse opinion
than ever Of her extremely objection
able manner toward the heir Of Yatton.

And perhaps the proudest, the most
golden moment in Miss Lynch's life
was this; when, leaning upon the arm
of the vicar of Chesterford, she fol-
lowed Jane and Mohun across the en-
tire space of the Yatton ballroom, and
