A PICNIC.

On Saturday morning we had a lit
tie picnic of five. two boys and three
girls. We had Two basketfulc of
lunch which the boys pulled out in
little wagon for US. We went to a.
place called Lees Grove, about a
mile and n half out of town There
Is a branch that runs through the
grove and a large rock that crosse S
the water which forms a natural
bridge. We caught a young crawfish
in the branch, and put II In cup and
kept II awhile. and then put II back.
put our bottle of tea in the branch
to keep cool in the shade OF an old
elm tree. We, put our lunch In safe
place. and went off TO explore the
grove. We scared ,up young rabbit
and set the dog on it, but he didn't
catch 1t. We found a few ripe black
berries We ate our lunch, rested a
while. and then played games, We
came home after having very pleas
/. ant day, and ready for our tea.

Upon second base would plant his heel,
And hurry home to save the day.

Then old Pop shaner, that fast first
bastman,
Would take up the bat and pull up
his pants.
Crack the ball to the delight Of tho
fan,
And around the bases he would
dance.
Paul siebrie his appearance soon will
make,
And take his stand on the second
sack,
And when the game is at stake
He will give the ball. a resounding
crack,
And win the day for old Richmond.

All your thoughts have the power Of

OUR BASEBALL GAME.
The animals got UP a team
To play against our nine:
They thought 'twould surely be a
To beat our men in line.
The tiger was the pitcher,
The best one in the town.
And the lion was made catcher
To hold the pitcher down.
The horse, the monkey. and the sheep
Were lined up on the bases;
Then all the animals made a leap
To get the other places.
The leopard seized the centre field;
Ills brother took the right,
While the elephant would not yield
The left without fight.
The dog wanted to be shortstop;
+ He said twas his by right;
But the kangaroo leaped by a hop,
. And seized 1t with his might.
Then the game had its beginning,
Called by Umpire Cat;
The animals had first inning,
And they lined UP at the bat.
The sun was setting hind thu hill.
Twas nearly half-past four;
Only one animal remained there stiN
To say they'd play no more.

best legislation in the country. A rail-
road commission bill was passed, but
the commission must be given more
power. A potable water bill was
passed-not the flood storage bill, and
the Senator declared that he was op-
posed to spending State money for such
reservoir or using Morris county land
for any such purpose. A public utili-
ties bill will be introduced next week,
and a limited franchise act was adopt
ed which limits franchises to forty
years, and then only by a vote of the
people.
He said he did not believe that the
Republican party would be swept aside
by the wild vagaries of theorists nor
follow the lead of rich mems sons who
seem to have nothing to do but pro-
pose new legislation. In closing, he de-
clared that Assemblyman Chaplin was.
clean representative, and Assembly
man Buxton such man as no other
could put his hand on his shoulder and
say do so and SO.
Surrogate Young spoke only few
words Of thanks.
Assemblyman Buxton said he felt
differently from what he did when he
stood on the same platform last year,
when he feared election day, but he
was confident that with the Repub-
lican organization of the county, under
the leader whom all had learned to
love, and the Woodworking body Of the
party, the only need of a count is to
ascertain the majority. He thanked
the convention for it's endorsement
and said it would be his earnest en-
deavor to so handle matters that all
citizens might be satisfied.
Mr.. Lyon said it was an honor to run
with Messrs. Hillery and Buxton He
had attended many conventions, but
now he was in different position, and
said he would keep his record clear and
serve to the best of his ability.

HENRY H. ROGERS A WRECK.
Relatives Swear That Oil Masnate Is
Critically III.

Boston, Sept. LIT was asserted
that Henry A. Rogers is in weak
physical condition, that his face is dis
torted and his speech affected, that his
left side is not in its normal state and
that he is unable to transact any bust
ness or even discuss ordinary affairs,
by Mr.. Rogers. son-in-law, Urban H.
Broughton, in the supreme court in
this city.
H. II. Rogers, Jr, corroborated
Broughton's statements and testified
that his father had signed but three
checks and power of attorney to open
vault since July %. His condition.
young Rogers said, had shown some
slight Improvement in the last few
weeks. Broughton also testified that
recently Mr.. Rogers had told him to
take up the business where he had left
it, as he (Rogers) was "about DONE"
Norman w. Nesbit, a New Bedford
dentist, testified that he had attended
Rogers twice within the last six weeks.
and on both occasions he noticed that
he had changed and was nervous.
DR.. Pratt told the court that he could
not say exactly what would be the ulti-
mate result Of the attack last July nor
to what it was due. He thought 1t
might be apoplexy, or perhaps clot
on the brain, or perhaps sNght par
alytic shock.

HUMoR OF THE HOUR
The Majesty Of the Family.

Every one who has lived south knows
that peculiar brand of loyalty among
old servants that expresses itself in a
profound conviction that their family
Is the "fust family" Consequently
every southern town and city is still
full of ''fust families"
This particular 'fust family" was
making it's annual pilgrimage to the
White Sulphur Springs, the great coach
laden with children and trunks as well
as the mistress, with her nearest and
dearest relatives.
Old Simon, mindful of the glory of
his house and filled with the all power
full dignity of an old retainer, drove the
fat coach horses and admonished his
small charges, who, edged in beside
him on the box, crowded him to des-
peration.
His master rode on horseback little
distance behind the coach and as they
approached railroad crossing was as
tonished to see Simon drive calmly be-
fore a passing train, which hurled the
coach one way, horses another and
family and trunks in all directions.
Galloping up, he called to his coach
man:
Simon, you old niger, didn't you
see that train coming"
''Yassuh.'
'You saw it coming and deliberately
drove upon the track! What made you
do such a crazy thing?"
"Well, you see, Marse George" ex-
planned that bewildered individual,
scratching his gray wool, "Ah thought
when dey see it's we all's iga'idge dey'd
