LADIES' BAND 10 GIVE BAIL.

The Event 70 Come on Friday Even
ing, March 8.
The fair members OF the GOodIand
ladies' band wish to announce to the
people that love the dance that they
win give a grand ball at the Walker
hall Friday evening, March 8, at
which time they hope to see q large
response to their invitation through
this paper. Elegantly printed pro-
grams, in which hearts figure in col
ored inks, viii be provided, and the
music for the occasion viii be fur
nished by the Goodland band
The ladies' band is 2 long way on
from being a dead one. Indeed, It Is
much alive with pretty looks and win
ming ways. And inasmuch as the Ia
dies OganizadOn, like any mundane
enterprise, needs money to lubricate
the wheels of its swift progress, the
young men Of the town that patronize
the dance should now show their ut
most courage and falter not Else
the ladies' band, when It IS too late
to revive the life that was, may re-
turn the plague the shriveled soul OF
the fellow that wouldn't jar loose Of
the sheckel to perpetuate e music

In commenting on the British Ned
ical Journals statement that eThe
American OF today presents a firm
square jaw. broad and clear, keen
eye, which together usually render the
recognition OF his nationality q matter
OF no great difficulty" a New York
editorial writer says:
From these features we single out
the square typical jaw as the typical
American feature. The American nose
is not much to brag on, and II the
American forehead is unusually high,
that is a case for the hair specialist,
not the phrenolOgist- But no other
race Of men have such jaws as the
American. If anything, they may be a
little OverdOne. There is too much
bone. The chin is long, square over
assertive- It initiates against the per
feet oval Of the classic countenance.
Some OF US are inclined to the progna-
thous. 1t would seem that the house
Of Haspburg had cousins among US.
But all in all, it is a good fault Thank
heaven, we are not a sheep-faced folk
The history Of this people is re-
corded in their jaws, not in their
noses. Their individualistic jutting
chins tell that they have had TO make
their own way and have inherited
nothing but the disposition to do it
The receding cnin, the fish jaw are
the penalties Of being born with a
silver spoon in ones mouth"

While Policeman Fitzgerald OF the
Williamsburg Bridge station was on
duty at the bridge early yesterday
morning he saw greenbacks flying
around and began to pick them up.
The first was a ten dollar bill and then
two fves. He kept chasing them until
he had S1O2- He also picked up
checks aggregating S54. He looked
around but failed to find anyone who
had lost the cash and checks. He
took his find to the police station and
turned it over to Sergeant Nichols.
While the latter was counting the
cash Samuel Pfeifer, OF 1923 East
ern parkway, entered the station. and
said he had lost S177 somewhere on
the bridge and $54 in checks. He
described his loss so accurately that
the police were convinced that he
owned the money and checks found
by Fitzgerald. Pfeiffer insisted that
S75 was missing and policemen were
sent to the Manhattan terminal. They
found remnants OF greenbacks
to the car tracks. Some Of
the greenbacks had been run over by
the cars and ground to pulp. Other
bills probably had been blown on the
bridge. Pfeifer told the police he had
lost the money and checks while
running for a car.-New York Sun.

I1NCo1N's IMMORTAL AK.

Two angels at his cradle met,
The day Of Lincoln's birth
What gift shall we bestow,'' said one,
Upon this child Of earth
A sword, a pen, a bell, a book,
A crucible, or spade 2"
Nay" cried the other, ''let an ak
Within his hand be laid"
So Lincoln swung the humble blade,
And felled the forest tree,
Struck on the ancient, rusty chains,
And set the bondman free.
For all who climbed toward the stars
He blazed the way to fame,
And carved upon his native land
The letters Of his name
Beside the hatchet Washington
Once owned in early youth,
Which ever since has pointed out
The glory OF truth.
And with the flashing sword which
Grant
To splendid victory here,
The nation treasures LincOn's ak
Immortal evermore.

Church Service By Phone.

Rev. M. H. Ingham, rector of St. Johns Episcopal church of Camden, has had special telephone service installed in his church, in order that persons who are unable to come may hear the services It was primarily designed to meet the wants of an afflicted member, who could not attend at all, but it is working so well that many who are kept from being at the church now hear the services over the telephone. All that is necessity to get the telephone service is to notify the rector about an hour before the time for preaching.

President Buchanan had the mis- fortune to be in a position which re- quired qualities which he did not pos sess, yet he had some fine traits. It has recently been disclosed that in 1859 railroad company sent him a pass over it's lines. He returned it with the statement that it had been the practice of his life to pay his fare because he was opposed to the whole system of granting priv ileges to persons not connected with the railroads. It has taken more than years for this feeling to be- come strong enough to induce con- gross to prohibit the Issuing of passes on interstate railroads.
