the incident had ended Denig's useful
ness in the schools, did not recommend
his retention. Denig's friends in the
board elected him without recommends
ton. Supt. Van Cleve appealed to the
state school commission and the COM
missioners held that to make Denig's
election valid without the superintend-
ent's recommendation he must have IL
three fourths vote in the board of edu
cation. That he could not get.
DenigS friends then refused to con
firm any of the teachers recommended
by the superintendent. Both sides are
firm and there the deadlock stands.
With the opening of the school year
only two weeks off not a teacher has
been elected and many of them are
seeking employment elsewhere.
A novel suit has been started by Louis
f. Liotard, of Browertown, n. J.,
against the New York and New Jersey
Telephone company. Mr.. Liotard seeks
damages to the extent Of $4,000, being
the price of a piece of property thar
ne alleges he might have sold, but didn't.
Mr. Liotard relates in his plea that for
fifteen years he has been a subscriber to
the use of the telephone. In the last is
sue Of the phone directory his name was
omitted. 1t appears that MIR. iiotard
has Il piece of property which is valued
at $4,000, for which he found a Gus
toner in the person of George +. 1ol-
den of New York. Mr.. Holden went to
Paterson to look at the property. Mr..
Holden according to the story told by
Mr. Liotard tried to call up Mr.. Liotard
on the telephone. Failing to find Mr..
Liotard's name in the book, he called Up
central and asked whether Mr.. Lilo
tard had a phone. According to Mr..
Liotard. his customer was told he was
not a subscriber. Mr.. Holden returned
to New York and the sale of the proper
ty was all off. Hence, the suit.
While Miss Molly O'Hagan, employed
on a farm in Montvile, n. j., was up in
a haymow gathering eggs, James Moran,
young farmer, who had long, but I'M
successfully, sought her hand in mar
riage, stealthily removed the ladder, and
kept her prisoner in her lofty sta toa
until she promised to be his wife.
Moran owns the adjoining farm. 1t
was an opportune time, as the family
had all driven to the old Dutch Reformed
Church to attend the services, leaving
Miss Molly to cook the dinner. She did
not know who had removed the ladder,
and called Moran, whom she heard go
ing by whistling.
The latter entered the barn, and Molly
pleaded with him to place the ladder.
but the young farmer only kept on de-
ciaring his love.
IF you have any love in you" said
Molly, ''let me down; my dinner will be
spoiled"
will you be my wife?' asked tie
persistent young man.
AS her case seemed hopeless and she
could almost smell the dinner burning
Molly finally surrendered her heart to
"Jim's" keeping.
There are numerous localities in every

or walking few yards. may go from

When Il couple call on the pastor to be
married they are shown into the parlor
in Central Falls whereupon he takes
them through the hall into his study
