crowd was never wanting.
Personally, I never knew how tower
ing his figure had stood in the past until
drifted in upon q lone bachelor, who
occupied hut some fifteen miles from
the patrlaTch's present home, and who
is rather noted in the community for
his love of seclusion and indifference
To current events He had not visited
the nearest neighbOTing village in some
thing like five years, and had not been
to the modeTate-sized county seat in
ten. Naturally he treasured memories
of his younger days and more varied
activity.

reason. He used to be around there,
and sometimes he'd talk a little. He
could stir a fellow up
"Oratory alone won't make a states

out than to object.
"Oh, l know he answered. but he
was good man. The plainest spoken
fellow l ever heard. He seemed to be
able to tell US just what was the mat

was too honest. He was a mighty de-

out in convention. Whenever they got
to twisting things and doing what

out. Anyhow. he didn't get up. and
I've always wondered at it.
In Danville one hears other stories
wholly bearing out this latter opinion.
Thus a long, enduring political quarrel
was once generated by an incident

the patriarch than for it's natural de-
tails.

different manner. He was not too
drunk when the day was all over to
realize that he was in a rather serious
prejicament, and so riding out of town,
travelled a little way and then returned,
complaining that he had been set upon
by the wayside, beaten and finally
robbed His clothes were in a fine state
of dilapidation, and even his body bore
marks which amply seconded his pro-
testation. 1t was in the slush and rain
of the dark village street that he was
picked up by the county treasurer, who,
knowing the generosity of White and
the fact that his door was always open
to those in distress, even as for his own
children, took The young man by the
arm, and accompanying him, led him
10 the patriaTch's door. where he per-
sonally applied, In a few moments it
was opened by this shaggy citizen IN

and peered outward into the darkness.

"Who?" asked the patriarch, stepping
out and holding the lamp down so as
to get good lock into the newcomer

urer. can you give him shelter?'
The old gentleman gave no heed after

No one has robbed him. This is all a
pretense, and l want you to take him
away from here. Put him in the hotel.
I'll pay his expenses for the night, but
he can't come in here"
The treasurer fell back amazed at
this onslaught, but recovered sufficient
Iy to declare that his friend was no
Christian. and that true religion COM
manded otherwise. He even went so
far as to quote the parable of the good
Samaritan. who passed down by way OF
Jericho and rescued him who had fallen
among thieves. The argument had long
continued in the night and rain before
the old patriarch finally waved them
both away.
Don't you quote Scripture to me-"
he acclaimed defiantly, at the same
time fourishing the lighted lamp in an
oratoricI1 sweep. Il know my Bible.
There's nothing in It requiring me to
shield liars and dTpnkards.'
Nevertheless, the youth vas housed
and fed at his expense, and the penalty
of opposition generated by this argu-

the time under consideration this for
mer tobacco picker had degenerated
into Uncle Bobby Moore, and had
PICKED up a few charitably inclined
friends, with whom he spent the more
pleasant portion of the year from
spring to fall. 1t was his custom to
begin his annual pilgrimage with a
visit of ten days to Mr.. White, where
he would sit and cobble shoes for all
the members of the household. From
there he would go to another acQuaint-
ance some ten miles further on, when
he would enjoy the early fruit which
was ripening in delicious quantity. He
would then visit g friendly farmer
whose home was upon the Missouri
river, where he did his annual fishing,
and so on by slow stages, until at last
ne would reach neighborhoOd rich in
cider presses, where he would wind up
the fall and end his travel for the win
ter.
As he grew older. however. Uncle
Bobby reached the place where even
by this method he could not make
enough to sustain him in comfort dur
ing the winter season, and he finally
applied to the patriarch.
Il come to you, Mr.. White" he said,
because I don't think I can do for my
self any longer. My hand hurts me a
great deal. / want to know if you
won't help me to get into the county
farm"
He went further and explained that
he only wanted shelter during the in
clement months. and that in summer
he preferred to be out. so that he
might visit his friends and enjoy his
declining years.
"Come right down here" said the
old gentleman. Selling him by the arm
and leading off toward the courthouse,
where the judge governing such cases
was then sitting.
A trial was holding when he arrived
there, but no matter. Down the aisle
he led his charge, calling as he came:
You honor, I want you to hear this
case"
Agape. the spectators paused to
listen. The judge, an old and appreci-
atfve friend, turned a grave and tender
eye upon this latest eccentricity.
What is it, Mr.. Whittier" he inquired
Your honor, he returned in his most
earnest and oratorical manner. this
man her is an old and honorable citi-
zen of this county. He has been here

himself to call to a spectator on one

Yes, DIr. White" said Mayhem
quickly, "he did"
The court interfered.

cal bent, this man has always earned

Urinary. I want you TO make out an
order admitting him to that institu-
ton, so that I can take it and go with
him and see that he is comfortably
placed"
"Au right, Mr.. White" said the
judge. surveying the two figures in
mid-aisle, Il will SO order"
But, your honor" he went on,
there's an exception l want made I'm
this case Mr. Moore has a few friends
that he likes to visit IN the summer,
and who like to have him visit them
l want him to have the privilege of
coming out in the summer to see these
people, and to see me-"
"All right, Mr.. White" replied the
judge he shall have that privilege"
Satisfied in these particulars. the
aged citizen led his charge away and
went with him to the infirmary, where
he explained the order of the court and
then left him.
Everything went peacefully for
number of years until finally Uncle
Bobby, growing rather feeble with age,
came to Mr.. White and asked his old
friend to promise him one thing.
What is it?" said Mr.. White.
BY way Of reply he described an old
oak tree which grew in the yard Of
Baptist church some miles from Dan
VILE and said:
4 want you to promise that when I
am dead you will see that l am buried
under that tree
The old fellow used great secrecy In
his request and begged to be assured
that, wherever he happened to be when
he died. Mr. White would come and get
his body and carry il to the old oak.
The patriarch promised, and a few
years went by, and then suddenly one
day he learned that Uncle Bobby was
dead.
Where is his body?' he asked.
why. they buried it under the old
white oak" was the answer, at Mount
Horeb church"
e.sWhatr' ne exclaimed. who told
them to bury him there?'
why, he did, said the friend.
The patriarch was too astounded,
however, to think of anything save his
| lost privilege of mercy.

claimed pathetically. He led me 20

He declared that her small fingers never
real toll should know.
He'd protect those dainty digits; he would
labor like a Turk,
And he'd never. never let her do a thing
that smacked Of work.
For some six or seven winters have the

But no real work. Good gracious That

The Morris County Traction Co. has
asked for an extension of a year to
complete the road from Summit to
Elizabeth. 1t is recited in the petit
tion that scarcity of labor, failure of
firms to supply material when con-
tracted for, and delays in reaching
agreements with property holders,
had made it impossible to finish the
road within the time limit. A special
committee Of the freeholders has con
sidered the matter, and viii recon-
mend to the whole board that the ex-
tension Of time be granted. Freehold

The L-auter piano

The purchase Of a piano calls for
a good deal Of consideration and care,
especially if the purchaser be a person
who appreciates tone, and cannot be
satisfied with an ordinary good piano.
It is only BY trying and testing every
make to which one has access that one
is able to intelligently decide which IS
best for his purpose.
1t is by comparative tests that the
remarkable superiority of the Lauter
Piano can be ascertained. That its
gloriously beautiful tone in comparison
with the tone Of other instruments is
no figment Of the Imagination, IS no
parent-like fallacy of ours, can be dem
onstrated to the satisfaction of all who
will Investigate for themselves.
We do not overstate the case when
we say that the Lauter Piana is rec
ognized by scores of musicians of the
widest experience to be an instrument.
Of superlatively beautiful tone, exqui-
site scale and faultless construction.
We make a piano Of the highest pos
sible character, and its fine qualities

SUGGESTIONS FOR A NEW PARK
what Can bA Done with the Waste
Lands OF Morristown.

What Can ba Done with the Waste
Lands OF Morristown.
EDITOR or THE CHRONICLE
Tnis idea came to me BY reading
the article III your paper written BY
the Rev Dr. Hughes, subject, !" A
Public Play Ground While travel
ing abroad the early part OF this year,
/ visited some friends fn a country
town, population about ten thousand,
and while there took several walks
through the recreation grounds, which
extended for about a mile through
one side Of the town in which small
stram wound its way.
1t seemed to be a very popular re-
sort for there were hundreds of boys
and girls in all parts, playing every
kind Of out door sport. These grounds
could be reached from every part Of
the town, the river being spanned by
"a number Of rustic bridges. But a
few years ago this was all marsh and
waste land. The civic association
composed Of ladies and gentleman in
terested the whole town in the scheme.
so that the idea became very popular.
The money was raised by the civic as
sociation and most Of the recreation
grounds was donated and the city
counsel now looks after it,
This city is similar situated and
presents all the advantages for what
could be made one Of the prettiest
features Of Morristown, besides afford
ing plots OF ground in a long stretch
of our city for sports and amusement,
aggregating thirty or forty acres at a
very small cost. For instance start
ing at the Burnham ponds on Wash
ington street, taking in all the waste
land along the creek and river up
Ridgedale avenueor beyond, taking in
all the old grist mill and part Of Po-
cohOntas, taking in the RoSeyear pond,
etc, laying it.Out with lawns, shrub.
berry and trees, rustic bridges and
walks.
This would reclaim what is now a
very unsightly part OF our town and
make it a beautiful feature Of Morris
town and a grand recreation park for
the population Of all these parts OF
the town which are becoming very
thickly populated and want such a
place for their families to play in, as
the roads are very unsafe since the
| the advent of the motor car.
Yours very respectfully,
a CITIZEN.
