Luw,rucc Smith, little son Dt DR..
and Mrs. q. a. Smith, gave Il Hal
lowc'cn party to II number OF hi, young
friends Wednesday night. All the

or ghosts, and the house WAS dccorat-

The porch was dimIy lighted with
lack-O lanterns, from which the guests
were ushcred iutO hall of semi.dark-
ness. As they started up the stairway
they were confronted with ghuslly
apparition, and passed little ghosts
stationed along the stairway As they
reached the top step they were seized
by a larger apparilion who in sepul-
chral voice asked whether they were
male or female, and directed them to
separate rooms. The house through
out was dimly lighted with iack.o'-
lanterns made Of pumpkins, apples
and potatoes, and among them Two
real skulls with drapery hanging from
them and light cleaning from the eye
sockets, nose and mouth.
The children seemed to enter into
the spirit of the occasion and to enjoy
the peculiar sensations that thrilled
them. They were formed in line OPP
stairs snd marched down to the parlor,
where they were entertained for awhile
with dance of the fairies, after which
they engaged in games characteristic
of Halloween. The refreshments
consisted Of roasted peanuts, ice cream
and cake. Among the invited guests
were the following little misses repre-
sentng witches: Alva Clay, Doris
Swink, Miriam Bleeck, May Cover,
Dorothy Blanks, Lavinia Rozier and
Florence Mitchell; those representing
ghosts we're Alma Swink, Geraldine
Burks, Dorothy Huff, Pauline Bying-

Muothart Seconds 2S-High SchooI 0

The second football team of Moot
har'N Business College defeated the
Pennington High School team last
Friday by score of rs to o. The
weight and superior football knowledge
OF the college boys enabled them 10
win with comparative ease. Probably
the feature Of the game was the playing
OF Taylor Smith, the "Li,tle Gian;, ="
whose equal in tackling would be hard
to find among the boys Of hi, size and
age We predict that Taylor will de-
relop into one of the stars Of the grid-
iron. Maguire and Simmons played
the best game for Moothart, the latter
making most of the louchdowns

The Republican candidates visited
US Monday night aud spoke to crowd
of girls and children with few Demo.
cratic and Republican voters mixed in.
Prosecuting Attorney Geo. NJ. VIII
son spoke on national issues princi.
paly, and coming down to county
affairs he told Us what he had done
the past two yeats a> prosecuting at.
torney, and also what he would do, if
elected again, but failed to tell us of
many thkgs that he could have done
and did not do.
Another speaker was a man by the
name Of Sessinghaus, who wants to be
surveyor. He told us that there had
been no bridges and roads built right IN
this county, but therc'd be one built
right across back creek soon. It's too
bad that the people have to import in
telligcnce into this county.
Representative Arnodi told Us that
eggs were 2jc per dozen in Flat River,
but ii we Democrats reduced the
tariff eggs would only be worth or 8
cents per dozen Judging from our
old friend Arnoldl'S argument, we be-
lieve that he would represent the
chicken industry Of this county better
than he would represent this county in
the Legislature.
Judge Nations dwClt ut length upon
national issues, and went back sixty
years ago and discussed the issues be-
tween the two parties down to two
years ago, and according to his argu-
ment the prosperity of the people Of
the United States was due to the Re.
publican administration; but poor old
Grover Cleveand's administration
came within these sixty years, and the
country was getting in bad shape.
When the Republicans elected another
President prosperity came again. The
Judge never touched on State pol
itics, We suppose he thought IL he
did that be would have to mention NJ.

the evening. We had in our pocket

but failed to get an opportunity to
show it to the speakers. We were
astonished when the Judge said that
the Democrats changed issues every
campaign, and were more astonished
after hearing him discuss the issues
OF the two parties for sixty years, in
which Of course the Democratic plat.
forms were all wrong and the Repub.
licans were always right-when he
said he did not know what the Demo.
cratic issues were two years ago, and
did not know what they were now,
and no telling what they would be two
years from now. We suggest that the
Judge get the Democratic platform
and study ii the next two years, SO
when he goes out making campaign
speeches in 1908, he may not expose
his ignorance Of Democratic ideas to
the voters of 81. Francois county.

before much damage was done.

YUCATkN'S NATURAL WELLS
Subterranean Rivers Around Which
the Mayas Built Their Strange
Cities in the Desert.

Since Yucatan, where the Mayas
built their strange cities, is a coral
limestone formation, 1t would, says a
writer in Records of the Past, have
been a barren desert but for its sub
terranean rivers, and the cenotes, or
water caverns, which give access 10
them. The Mayas noted the courses
OF the underground streams and bui0
their towns round the cenotes. Many
cenotes are now found surrounded by
ruins, and give indications of the
methods employed by the Mayas to
reach their cool waters. In Uxmal
a cenote about 40 feet deep Is nhablt
ed by a peculiar species of fish. AT
Bolanchen there is a cenote having
five openings in the rocks at the bot
tom of the cavern. Ladders made by
tying tree trunks together lead down
a total distance of 1,400 feet, but the
perpendicular depth from the surface
to the water is not over 500 feet

Forest in the Water.

Along the great blue current Of
Japan that sweeps down the Cali
fornia coast is strung a chain of
islands. They are the SUBMITS of
offshore Sierras, a coast range Of
California that has been partly over
whelmed by the sea. All have a pc
culiar beard, or protecting growth of
weed, that constitutes a perfect for
est about them, a giant seaweed grow
ing in water 60 or more feet in depth
and forming a natural wave break

mails. The vines are sometimes 100
feet in length. vast cables, with broad
crimpled leaves of a dark olive hue,
which assume graceful shapes in the
tide.

Such ~Railroadinu,

"Such ~railroading," said President
Baer of the Reading line, apropos Of
reckless running, reminds me of an
Irish brakeman.
This brakeman, who was employed
on a railway in the neighborhood of
Cook, was annoyed one morning to
find the train stopping in a desolate
place miles away from any station.
He ran to the cab and shouted to
the engineer:
eli, We %omadhoun, what are We
stoppin' here fur?'
The engineer retorted angrily:
Don't you see the signals agin Us,
we %gossoon?'
"'Musha,' said the brakeman, how
mighty particular ye're gettin'.'"

Keen Sense Of Humor.

There's nothing like a sense of hu-
NOR" said Rear Admiral Buehler at
Atlantic City. I'm a woman, in a SOL
der, in a sailor, in a clerk, a sense Of
humor is a help and a blessing through
life.
"At the same time, even a sense Of
humor may exist In excess. l, for my
part, shouldn't care to have so great
a sense of humor as a British soldier
I once heard about.
This soldier was ordered to be
logged. During the fogging he
laughed continually. The lash was
laid on all the harder. but under the
rain of blows the soldier laughed.
What are you laughing att" the
sergeant finally asked.
"'Why.' the soldier chuckled, I'm
the wrong man."

From a Student of Women.

DR.. Emil Reich, the well known stu

1T was a young lady of Baltimore
who sat one afternoon reading a novel
when a maid came and said:
"Mr. Blankley is In the drawing
room, miss
"A look Of annoyance clouded the
young lady's innocent blue eyes. and
she said hurriedly, as she rose:
Horrors, and my hair isn't waved,

I'M in the kitchen helping mother"
