The Meanest Man.

The meanest man has been discov-
cred anew, down at one of the popular
Jersey coast resorts, and if you doubt
this statement just take a run down
there and ask any one of the girls who
throng the beach. They will be only
too glad to tell you, for they hate him,
one and all.
This particular swain-wen call him
Peroival by way of recognitlon-loves
to spend hours in the company of the
prettiest girls, watching the waves and
talking nonsense.
Later, he escorts the girls to their
homes, sees them safely inside their
doors, and then HES himself to one
of the popular drug stores, where, all
by himself, he enjoys an ice cream
soda.
Can you imagine such meanness!
Once, early in the summer, Percival
was known to treat, but 1t was at a
time when circumstances were against
him and he could not help himself.

MADE OF POTATOES.

Mix mashed potatoes with finely minced
beef. ham or cold meat and form into
small cakes no larger than the top Of a
large salt cellar. Roll these in beaten
egg and cracker crumbs. Fry in butter
on top of the Stove, remove and brown the
tops In the upper part of the oven. Serve
the small cakes on an individual dish with
a chcp. The small cakes look daintier than
the large patty cakes.

THE VALUE OF SALT.

A pinch of salt taken before meals
Stimulates digestion.
In severe attacks of collie a teaspoon
of salt dissolved in a teacup OF cold
water has been known to give imme-
date relief. The same dose viii revive
a person who has been stunned by a
heavy fall. II he can be forced to swal-
low it

A Trolley Club.

1t isn't absolutely necessary to leave
town for several weeks to enjoy the
ummer. Bright skies, clear water,
great green trees and sunshine are all
about our city. and nay be easily
reached by a half hours trolley ride
from Broad and Market streets.
A half-dozen girls who are employed
in one of our big insurance buildings
have discovered this, and have formed
a sort of club, which meets every after
noon at 4:30 at the -Four Corners. They
then decide upon a desirable destina-
ton, ride out into the country, and
return Just in time for dinner, some
times laden with blaclx-eyed susans,
sometimes with ripe apples, and some-
times empty-handed, but always with
bright, happy faces.
Now, isn't this much better than
walking around the streets and SPEND
ing SO much time wandering about the
department stores. The stores are for
those who shop, not for those who de-
sire to idle away their time.

GOOD TO REMEMBER.

Keep a supply of asbestos paper in your
kitchen. II the oven Is too hot and the
cake likely to burn at the top, put a
of the paper on the crate over the
tin. If there is danger of burning at the
bottom, put a sheet under he tin.

He treats Himself Alone.

Every day he may be seen in some
r~efreshment parlor, eating ice cream or
drinking soda, and always alone. As
one little maiden said recently, ut isn't
that we mind not being treated-for
that matter all of the other boys are
only too glad If we will permit them
to treat us-but we cannot help despis-
ing him for the nasty, selfish. piggish
disposition which he has displayed.
Why, | believe he would walk from
here to Asbury Park rather than pay a
girls c~arfare, but you never see him
walk when he is alone"
Her remarks started the other girls,
and then and there they vowed, each
and all, to snub him the next time he
came up to them IN the beach and
asked for the loan of their maya
zines.
I sincerely hope they carried out their
threats, for he deserves all the snubs
he gets. If he was without funds he
might be forgiven, but he has no ex-
cuse on that score, for his pockets are
always juggling.
It's just a case of arrant meanness.

The publication OF a list Of business firms

Company and the Boston & Maine railroad,
which have agreed to give preference to
abstainers from intoxicants when employ
ing laborers, is sign of the times. This
particular movement seems to have been
guided by one of the best known Of the
Cambridge Roman Catholic priests. but it
is part of larger trend which is shaped
chiefly by business men. The two strongest
forces making against intemperance today
are the teachings of the schools and the
teachings of business experience Chill

Elections were held Nov. 9TH in thirteen
States, not more than half dozen choosing
governors, and the contests mainly were on
local issues. Massachusetts reelected Gov
Guild by 100000. Moran was reelected dis
trlct attorney for Suffolk county. Pennsyl-
vania went Republican by about 175,OOO
New Jersey has probably elected the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor Maryland
Is Democratic, of course. Tammany won
in New York city. The Rhode Island re-
turns indicate close race, with the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor leading There
was no opposition to the Democratic candi-
date for governor in Mississippi Returns
from Kentucky show gains for the Republi-
can candidate for Governor, but there is
little hope of his election. A Salt Lake
City the American or anti Mormon party
was leading. In San Francisco the Union
Labor candidate was showing unexpected
strength. The returns yet received are in
complete.
