not come. Lightning did, how.

houses and trees around for it tC

and struck Silas White. Itseem-

acre of ground. 1t tore off his
clothes and pulled off his boots.
II burned off his whiSkerS and
bleached his eyebrows. He. was
gathered up as a man dead as
doornails, but at the end Of two
hours he suddenly sat up. Silas
was a little bewildered, bat still
in the ring.
There were half a dozen men
in the house when the champion
came to himself. They were ex-
pecting to hear him drawlingly
ask what had happened when he
jumped off the bed and began
driving them out. In five miu-
utes he had cleared the house of
lnourners. Then, in spite OF the
fearful protests of his wife, he

wood than he had in six years
before.
People came to ask Silas how
he felt when struck by the thun-
derbolt, and he answered at the
top of his voice and rolled out the
words so fast that he could hard
ly be understood. He couldn't
bear to be still a minute. He
flew from one thing TO another,
and ended up the evening by
moving all the furniture out
doors and cleaning the house at
midnight. Next morning he was
up at DAYLIGHT patching the roof
of the house.
That thuuderbolt had changed
White, from a champion lazy
man to champion hustler. He
uproOted trees, pulled down fences
and dug holes in the garden. In
side a week he had four figl IS
a bout politics and called every
man in the village liar. They
couldn't stop him from working
and talking. He got to pulling
down the shade trees along the
and to making speeches
on the post Office steps, and after
a fortnight, as there was nothing
more to hustle for, and nothing
more he could talk about, he
committed suicide by hanging.
At the inquest the coroner said:

AUTO HITS GROCER'S BOY.

A red touring car containing three
men and three women ran into horse
and wagon driven by Charles Etter,
seventeen years old, at Brooklyn, early
yesterday. Etter was hurled about
twenty feet, landing on his head. 1t is
feared his skull is fractured. The auto
party escaped.
Etter is employed by a grocer. 1t
was about 7 a. m. when he saw the
automobile coming behind him at terrific
speed, 1t was swerving from side to
side. Etter attempted to get out of
the way by turning into Sixth street.
He was not quick enough, and the auto
struck the wagon squarely in the center.

JERSEY AUTO LAW UPHELD.
Machine is Dangerous and is I'm
der States Police Power.
TAXING OF CARS is LICENSING.
Justice Reed Rules Nobody Has Any
Inherent Right to Use Roads
for Automobiling

Trenton, Nov. 1S.-Supreme Court
Justice Alfred Reed to-day filed an i'm
portant opinion upholding the constitu-
tionality of all points on which the Ere
linghuysen Automobile law was attack
ed by an automobile company of New
York. The company sent an agent
named johnson on tour through New
Jersey bearing circulars for the Phila-
delphia branch of the establishment.
The man was arrested.
One important point of attack was the
right of the State to pass law com
polling a license for an automobile car
rying Interstate Commerce goods. The
questions raised were: First, the right
of the State to license automobiles not
according to true value but according
to the horsepower, second, whether
this is not double tax, as the first tax
is levied by tax assessors; third, that
the law puts automobiles in special
class for the purpose of taxation; fourth,
that this is a tax on Interstate Com
merce in violation of the Federal Con-
stitution; fifth, that this tax is viola
ton of the Fourteenth Amendment of
the Federal Constitution, and sixth, that
the act discriminates against citizens
of other States because it compels the
designation of an agent upon whom pro
cess may be served in this state.
The opinion takes the grounds that
the automobile is a dangerous machine
that it is the States duty, under its
police powers, to protect the public
that the taxing of cars is really licens-
ing and not unconstitutional, and that
the imposition of license fees is legiti-
mate exercise of the States police
power.
The court holds that the provision re-
curing a non resident autoist to deslg
nate an agent in the State upon whom
process may be served is not unconstitu
tional. Further it is held that there i:
no inherent right in any one to use the
roads for automobile travelling, anC
that the license is privilege under re
strictions. In view of the present nee(
of vigorous enforcement to protect al
road users, Justice Reed says it is onl!
right that man shall agree to submit
himself to the courts of the State int
which he comes. The opinion declares
that as there is no inherent rights t.
use the highways, the questions con
corning the Federal Constitution do moi
lie. New York Press, Nov. 10.

bearing the number of a machine owned
by Rodman Wanamaker, son of John
Wanamaker crashed into a rock near
Elmhurst, L. |. The injured man gave
the name of Frank Corey and insisted
that he owned the machine, but the pol
ice say that the license letting is that

The name of the injured woman could
not be learned tonight. Four other
men and three women were in the car at
the time of the accident.
The woman most severely injured had
her scalp nearly torn off, her mouth

berry Sauce "Barbarism.

With this years cranberry crop es-
timated at 1,700, 900 bushels. exclusive
of the large production of Cape Cod,
making a crop nearly twice as large as
that of last year, the State Department
has sought to find out the possibilities

Unfavorable reports have been received
from consuls in England, France and
Germany
In London the demand for cranberries
is confined almost exclusively to the
American colony. Many years ago Sir
Joseph Banks cultivated the berry in
England, and at one time Lincolnshire
and Norfolk supplied all that England
needed for tarts, pies and an acid sum-
mer beverage that has some popularity
there. Nowadays, outside of the Amer
lean berries, confessedly the best, Eng
land imports berries from Sweden and
Russia.
The French are reported to regard the
eating of cranberry sauce with fowl or
game as a mild form of barbarism. "
And yet the cranberry was sacred
plant with the Druids, who gave both
government and religion to Gaul 1000
years ago. However, France was not
then the leader in creating fashions for
the inner or the outer man.
The German people are more appre-
ciative, but their Government has pre-
vented them from indulging in "a mild
form of barbarism' by exacting tariff
duty of 81. 10 on each 200 pounds where
as the fruits of other countries are adj
mitted free.

to its opportunity the American con-
sumner may be able to get his cram

DEATH OF b. F. HASKELL.

DEATH OF b. f. HASKELL.
The funeral services for B. f. Haskell,
who died on Tuesday evening of last
week, were held at the home on Friday
afternoon following. w n. Moore, a
long time friend, and E. G. Farnham of
Shoreham, w. II. Bingham and A. S.
Bingham were bearers. Rev. Mr.. Rose
read portion of scripture, also the
hymn, LEAD Kindly Light" and offered
prayer, after which James Lavake of
Boston. cousin of Mr.. Haskell, stand
ing at the head of the flower draped cas-
ket, sang with much feeling, The Land
O the Leal" Old time friends and
neighb0rs filled the rooms. With sad
dened faces and sadder hearts they
gathered to take their last look of the
face they had loLg been accustomed to
see and show by their presence their
sympathy for another bereaved family
and they are many among US.
Mr.. Haskell in early life spent some
time with an uncle in the state of Maine.
Later he took up mercantile work, also
travelled a number of years for large
terested. After the death of his father
about thirty years ago, he bought the
old home at the Corners" made quite
his home. He was a successful mer-
chant for several years, when he gave it
over to his son, Fred. He was a lover of
good horses, had owned and driven some
of the best and it was while driving one
that he met with the accident that kept
him for long time an invalid and Grip
pied somewhat for the rest of his life.
He was well informed on all subjects,
reading all books and papers that came
in his way and remembering SO that he
kept in touch with all current events.
A strong republican, his interest in
politics never tagged. Through the
years of enforced inactivity he had al
ways kept that hopeful spirit, CHEEKY,
unfailing good humor, which was one
of his strong characteristics and made
him companion one could always en-
joy He passed his eighty-second birth
day the eighth of Ia st October.
Mr.. and Mrs. Haskell enjoyed the
unique and not common experience of
having birthdays on the same day of the
month with six years between them.
Fifty-three years the fifth of June last
since his marriage with Miss Helen
Smith, who with their son, Fred S., are
left to mourn a loving, indulgent hus-
band and father. He was a bright, keen
business man, pleasant companion, a
kind and obliging neighbor and friend,
of generous impulse and warm sympa-
thy. He will be remembered by many
as helpful in time of need.
His pleasant smile of welcome and
hearty hand clasp will not soon be for
gotten. Brave and cheerful through a
painful illness he calmly faced the in
evitable and he whom we were 10th TO
spare, passed on from among US and on
his face was the smile of peace.
