NANNY was little kid, who had lost her
IN mother when she was quite small, 50 she
a had been brought up by the farmers
children, who taught her all manner of tricks.
One day she was fastened to post on the
common, looking about for something especially
nice to eat, when she spied picturebook lying
the ground.
'FThis is something quite new," said Nanny
to herself, and began munching away eagerly.
'Hum'' she said, after the first few pages,
otis good enough, but there good many
things like better.'
While she was thinking about it, cottage
door opened, and a little boy out. He
looked very different from the rosy children
Nanny used to, and she wondered why he
walked so slowly and looked sad. Presently
he came to the place where Nanny stand
ing She gave great jump, and he cried out
tied up, he came closer. Nanny liked the look
Of him, and to show her friendliness, began to
jump about and show off all her best tricks She
managed so well, that she actually made him
laugh. ! -" =:
At the sound, lady with grey hair came out
of the cottage with such bright smile on her
face.
"whom have you found to play with, jim
my?'' she said.
"Oh, Mover,' cried the little boy, running
to her. ''Such dear little Nanny goat, and
she does do such funny fngs May have her

Jimmy's visit to the country would hardly
have been such a success as it was but for Nanny.
He could not walk very far, but would run
about on the common with Nanny until he was
tired, and then lie down on the grass just where
he was and fall asleep, Then Nanny would
keep guard over him, and altho she nibbled up
one of his pocket handkerchiefs and notebook,
and once even tried to eat his golden curls, she
would let no one else come near him. .
When it was time to go home again, of course
Nanny must come too; and altho they lived
very near London, nice field was found not
far away, where Nanny could get as much grass
as she wanted. But she often used to wish the
old days would come back, when they could
romp on the common together, and whenever
Jimmy could find time to go and see her, they
would romp about in the old way, until Nanny

TUESDAY,, APRIL II.

Not many days ago the Trenton
State Gazette, the state republican
ring organ, accused the Paterson
Press of not being true to its princi-
pies of republicanism because it did
not bow down to the republican
bosses. The Passaic News defended
the Paterson newspaper in this at
tack and this is what the Press itself
has to say about it:
THE good opinion of an indepen-
dent and high-minded paper like the
Passaic News, which has had much
closer opportunities of Judgment in
the matter spoken of than the Tren-
ton Gazette, with us Outweighs a hun
dred-fold the splenetic sheer of the
latter, which we have no doubt the
Press has fully merited from the mar
row point of view of a machine or
gan. AS to the 'republicanism' of
this paper, it was learned from the
fathers of the party, whose funda-
mental article of faith was patriot
ism. and who taught their followers
to serve the cause of right and to seek
to promote the welfare of the people
above all things. With them a polit-
ical party was but a means to an end,
and a most exalted one. The Press
remains a republican paper because,
despite all the errors of that party
and its shameful subservieucy to ma
chine rule and corporate interests
in these latter days, the body of the
party-the vast majority of its vot-
e~rs-remains sound and true. and
because we feel sure that the party is
undergoing a process of publication
that will restore it to its position as
the best governing agency that exists
or is likely TO be formed in our coun-
try. There are not many newspapers
in New Jersey that have earned the
right to ask the Paterson Press to sit
at their feet and learn the cardinal
principles of genuine republicanism " |
