Tense against them or their offspring.
Confuscius taught charity and
kindness to children as prime tenets
of his doctrine, therefore none except
of children that deep reverence which
only comes with understanding of
vital truths. 1t is no uncommon
sight to see a group of almond-eyed
youngsters playing church, initiating
the Celestial teachers of the faith,
and running laughingly all over the
idol that their elders would not ap-
proach except in humblest awe.
In all Uncle Sans domain there is
no place where children have their
own way more thoroughly than in the
Philippines. It has been thought that

the freedom allowed the brown
youngsters who came to United States
control after the Spanish-American
war.
The Filipino child runs as wild as
a native vine: No one says him nay.
He can go and come at will, and only
at nightfall does the mother or father
round up the brood to put them to
sleep.
Children of the Citadelle district in
Cairo, Egypt, present another interest
ing example of the Juvenile outdoor
life of the East. They dress little or
not at all, but they are happy and
robust bunch, who seem to thrive on
dirt, exposure and none too plenti-
full supply of nourishment.
The man who has studied physical
culture, and who knows all the argu-
ments in favor of an outdoor life, will
naturally wonder why these children,
who never know anything else, do not
grow into more robust men and worn-
en-.
In Japan they do develop fine

How a ResourcefuI Officer Captured a
Prisoner.
One of the most sensational cap
lures of an escaped jailbreaker ever
effected occurred last week along the
D. L. & w. railroad, near Milton, Pa.
Chief Of Police Mincemeyer of Dan
vile, leaning far out of speeding To-
connective, seized Charles Sutton by the
collar and swung him on board, pris-
oner.
Sutton broke out of the Montour
county Jail several hours before and
tried to escape along the railroad.
Sheriff Williams and Chief Mincemey-
er got locomotive crew together and
started in pursuit.
While running about twenty miles
an hour they suddenly espied in the
glare Of the headlight Sutton, leaning
back against box car on the adjoin-
ing track to let the locomotive pass.
He was unsuspicious of such speedy
pursuit and did not realize it until
Mincemeyer's strong arm shot out and
seized him, and he was hauled aboard
the locomotive, which did not stop
until after the capture YVES effected.

for the movement, says.
The cathedral of st. Peter and St.
Paul is to be the official title of the
mother church. While it will be the
mother church Of the diocese of
Washington, it will be regarded more
as national institution by reason of
it's splendid proportions and scope,

capital of the nation.

Remember the Hospital.

Wednesday, the sixth day of November,
will be the annual donation day at the
Burlington County Hospital 1t hardly
seems necessary to do more than call
attention to the date of this event. as the
reponses to appeals for aid will doubtless
be as generous as in the past. The Hos
pital is not merely local institution, 1t is
county affair. A glance at its records will
show that patients have been admitted
from all parts of the county and in a ma,
jority of the cases the medical aid and
nursing given them resulted in a return to
health. The surgical operations that
have been performed at this hospital have
not been noised abroad as have some at
the more pretentious city institutions but
the work has been good and effective
The doctors throughout the county ar,
interested in the place and many hourI
are gratuitously given for benefit of sui
fering humanity. On the sixth of Novem
Der the people of Burlington county will
have chance to express their appreciat
ion of the institution and its good work

The city of Burlington is making great
preparations for fine celebration on
Thursday evening and If the weather is
good the turnout will be one of the best
ever witnessed in this county. At first it
was thought that the celebration would
be confined to Burlington, but general
invitation was sent out and the responses
have been prompt and numerous. From
present appearances there will be at least
5000 persons in line and 30 floats have
already been built. Three bands OF
music have been engaged by the Burling
ton committee and visiting delegations
are expected to bring more. One of the
specialties In the musical line will be the

LAWYER Me;rs in Trouble Again.

John Meirs, Camden lawyer who has
been before the public in many ways
within the past two or three years, was
again brought into the light on Tuesday,
when he was seen running down one OF
Camden's streets, pursued by young man
who was handling horsewhip in fashion
that did not give comfort to the fleeing
lawyer. Meirs thought he saw chance
to escape by running into store. The
proprietor stepped between the pursued
and pursuer and Meirs jumped fence
and got away.
The man with the whip was named
Charles Tilton. Some time ago his sister
brought suit against Meirs on serious
charge and the jury rendered verdict
against the lawyer Since then it is said
he has been again paying attentions to
the young woman and the brother insisted
upon marriage Meirs was not agreeable
to this phase of the case, so the horse
whip was brought into play. Tilton was
arrested but gave bail for his appearance
at court.
Prosecutor Harry Scovel, when Tilton
was arraigned, said that he represented
Meirs at the time the case was tried
against him, but he thought there was
another side to the case. From what he
had recently learned he believed Meirs
was guilty of heinous crimes and he asked
that he be held for providing medicines
for improper purposes and also for other
offences with the girl. The court took
the view presented to it and Meirs was
put under bail to answer for the crimes.
