Burlington Boys Sad Experience in Matter
Of Matrimony.


All the fashionables in Burlington,
N. j., an old and aristocratic town,
are laughing at the embarrassment
OF a matronly widow who lives there.
The widow, although well known,
is best described by this personal, ~
which she placed in a Philadelphia
newspaper:
A lady of mature age, but looking
young and feeling so; tall blond, i'm.
posing and graceful and at the same
time we'll to do, desires to marry. Ad-
dress, -.
The lady, who is no older than she
feels, chose her affinity from the
writer's of many letters she received.
Quickly an interview was arranged.
She, wearing a bunch of lilies of the
valley in her corsagc, was to wait at
the Pennsylvania railroad station.
He, with red, red rose in his coat
lapel, was to arrive on the 9:37 A. NJ.
New York express, eastbound.
The widow, looking extremely
youthful and handsome, waited at
the CHI the station. The express
stopped. From a car dropped her
stalwart son.
Hello, mother!" he cried, What
are you doing here?"
Next instant he saw the bunch of
lilies of the valley; she, the rose he
wore. She blushed far redder than
the rose and was seized with an op-
perfume fit of coughing, which could
not hide her confusion, however.
IL got-off toto get paper, "
stammered her son, who is about
twenty-three years old, a gay young
fellow, employed in Philadelphia.
He rushed to the news stand,
grabbed paper and scrambled
aboard the last coach as the express
pulled out. His mother tore the
lilies from her corsage. threw them
on the platform and ground them
under her heel.

The Lumber Famine Close.


The forests again. Lumbcrmen
from various parts of the United
States gather in Philadelphia. A
man from Georgia speaks. If he
tells the truth great national dis
aster is impending. At present
there is shortage in the supply of
lumber" he says, "but the worst is
to come. Unless some miracle hap
pens and forests spring up oyer night
the lumber supply will be exhasted
within ten years" Now for the
question: Ought the country to wait
eighteen months, or two years, for
the repeal of those lumber duties
which have done so much to hasten
the cutting of American forests?

A Few Words for the Hired Girl.

1t has always seemed wrong to me
to condemn class because of the
faults of few, and it makes ones
blood almost boil to read what some
society women have to say about
those whom they are so delighted to
term hired girls" though the same
hired girls" in most instances, are
more respec table, more humane, and
have far better horse sense" so to
to speak, than those whom they do
the dirty work for, and who pays
them the small pittance misnamed
wages, who wear silk underclothes,
stockings with holes in them, smell
of perfume a mile off, paint their
cheeks red, and pencil their eyebrows,
read the novels penned by Laura Jean
Libby, or writer's of her class and
style, pose on the sofa before the
mirror, and probably read the hint"
column of the Sunday Welcome by
Portland. Many of these society
fashion-plates speak of hired girls"
as being ignorant, uneducated and
altogether of low order Women
who employ girls to do their house.
work should be ashamed to speak of
their help in such language. Some
of these women who employ Z" hired
girls" treat the hired girl worse
than add l say dog? Excuse me,
worse than their husbands, is what l
intended to write. If girl is to be
treated by their brainless women EN-
plOyer as a lower order of beings,
simply because she must work for q
living, without sense of feeling, to be
used as long as she can get through
the requisite amount of work, and
then cast aside, it is not probable
that she will banker after domestic
service. The drawbacks to the life
are lack of good treatment, and
monotony of work, and unless these
are to be made up for by increase
consideration, kind words, and better
treatment, it is not to be wondered
at that girls will prefer other kinds
of work, such as typewriting, store,
or the factory. There are women

Deep-water sailors do not usually

Gently crossed the Pacific ocean in
very stormy weather. One of the
sailors met with an accident the Sec
ond day out, the result of which was
a bad cut on the head. The passcn-
gers were most Solicitous in their in
quiries as to the seaman welfare for
some time. Then the rough sea and
its attendant discomforts formed a
u new topic of conversation. Several
days later my friend suddenly re-
membered the injured sailor. In the
course of the day he saw the man
with strip of plaster on his FORE
head.' How is your head?" he
asked sympathetically. West-by-

The Unit Of Marine Speed Calculation.

A knot is not Il measure of dis
fancc, but a unit of speed. 1t is Il
strictly scientific term, evolved by
seamen from the knots along the log
line. from which latter instrument
gather not any distance but speed.
1t means she register of nautical (or
llne-measured units) per hour, and
nothing else whatever. To say that
a vessel has speed of so many knots
is to express the desired effect defin-
itcly and correctly. But to say that
it has speed of +" so many knots an
hour is perhaps to inform land
lubbers. but also certainly to mis-
understand, and hence to misuse, q
very interesting sailors term.

BERRY CROPS

SEATTLE, June 2S.-Berry crops on
Vashon Island and other points near
Seattle are in danger of spelling on
the vines because piekers cannot be
procured to handle them. Orders for
pickers are streaming in upon Labor
Commissioner Thompson, but he Is
unable even to partially I'LL them.
At Medina and other strawberry CEN
tiers on the east side of Lake Wash
ington and even at such distant points
as Puyallup, the shortage is felt and
the local employment ONCE is appealed
to In vain. The situation at Vashon
Island is particularly serious.
The vashon Island Fruit Growers
association this morning placed an or

association, was in the city today t
see what could be done to relieve tn
situation. The berries have been rip
ening so rapidly that ordinary crew

FOR REPRESENTATIVE

Col. H. c. Tipton of Batesville an- nounces in today's paper as a candi- date for representative Col. Tipton is one of the best known men in public life in Arkansas and one of the purest. He has been in public life many years and at no time has there ever been any suspicion against him, either as an official or as a private citizen.
 The announcement that he would be- come a candidate for representative has elicited much favorable comment from all parts of the state, and the Arkansas Democrat, speaking of his and idacy, says: "The news is heard with great pleasure by his many friends in Little Rock, who know him to be man eminently qualified by training and natural capacity for the position.
 "Col. Tipton has a splendid train ing in statecraft that fits him admir- ably for the position. He represented the district consisting of Fulton, Iz- ard, Marion and Baxter counties in the state senate from January 18th to March 18th, 1879, and from January Sth to March 18th, 1881, and was presi- dent of the senate the latter term.
 "Then he removed to Harrison where he held a position in the United States land office for a time, subsequently en- tering the state treasury in clerical capacity. He served as state treasurer from April 12, 1901, to January, 1907. Col. Tipton is an earnest advocate of any measure that will keep the money of the state in circulation, and for this reason will insist upon the enactment of a state depository law that will pre- vent the money from being hoarded in the vaults of the state treasury, where it draws no interest. His election will be an honor to Independence county"

A HOME INSTITUTION
Merchants And Planters Bank, a
 Growing Home Institution

The statement of condition of the i Merchants and Plantes Bank, publish ed in another column, shows that the business of that bank has been han dled in remarkably successful man. her. Beginning business fifteen months ago, facing a short crop and con- sequent scarcity ofmoney and at a time when the conditions which caused the present financial crisis were just be- ginning to appear upon the financial horizon, it seemed that all odds were against it's success. But the stock holders, being all home people, had faith in Newark, her people and her resources. They had faithin the banks officials. They knew that their presi- dent, w. D. Magness, "Uncle Billie,' as he is familiarly known, was man of absolutely unquestioned integrity, as was, also, their cashier, A. A. Henderson, both of whom are among the community's oldest and best known citizens-men who have been identified with the best interests of the community for years; whose entire lives have been spent among the peo- pie with whom they expected to do business
 This has been strictly home insti- tuition from the start, backed by home capital and run by home men in the interest of home people. During the recent panic, when other banks, not only in Newark, but all over the coun- try, were caught in the crash with their funds tied up in the city banks and could not get money to cash even their own checks, the Merchants and Planters Bank, which had all it's funds at home and immediately available, did not turn down check, but paid cash for every check presented.
 The bank is on solid financial basis, and it's business is handled in a safe and conservative manner. It is not an experiment, but is fixture, here to stay, and it affords The Journ- al pleasure to commend the course this bank has pursued during its busi- ness career.
