The Poets Mistake and the Way He
rendered an Apology.
England's great poet Tennyson was
a somewhat gruff and formidable man.
whose manner with curious strangers
was by no means gentle and pleasant
Once a young woman who had been
lust introduced to the great man at
Freshwater was left alone with him
on the seashore. She stood in immense
awe of the poet and therefore did not
interrupt him as he sat speeches..
gazing straight ahead Of him at the
sea.
The long silence was broken at last
In an astonishing manner by Tenny-
son. He was going to open his lips and
utter some lovely thought, the young
woman imagined. Instead he opened
them and in gruff and gloomy tones
gave voice to this remark:
"You creak."
The girl started back in horror.
Tennyson added an explanation:
You creak. Your stays creak."
This so startled the young woman
that she ran away and went indoors.
where q large company. she found,
was gathered together over tea. In
little time Tennyson appeared. vague
expression on his countenance, as
though something had gone wrong
with bin. The girl. now accounting
him possibly mad and certainly impo-
lite. tried hard to hide away from him.
In vain. His eagle eye found her out
He threaded his way among the other

said in resonant tones before the whole

BREAKFAST.
II Should Be Substantial Meal. Says
Physician.

II Should Be Substantial Meal. Says
Physician.
1t is customary to make the first
meal of the day slightly the lightest
and distinctly the plainest and SIM
plest of the three. If there be any
deficiency of the appetite breakfast Is
the meal at which this is most likely
to show itself. But this lack Of appe-
tite is in nine cases out of ten clearly
traceable to sleeping in an unventilat-
ed room or to late hours in foul air the
night before or to insufficient exercise
the preceding day and is no indication
that the body really requires less food
at this time. Perfectly healthy men
who sleep with their windows open
and go to bed at a reasonable hour will
tell you that they enjoy their break
fast as well as any other meal OF the
day, and many even call 1t their best
meal.
Another popular delusion in regard
to the Iightness and unimportance OF
the breakfast is that widespread sub
terfuge, the continental breakfast"
consisting Of cup Of coffee and some
fruit or single roll. This is very
pretty breakfast as far as it goes, but
it doesn't go far, and the sole basis for
its adoption on the continent is that 1t
is only intended as temporary tide
over until the real breakfast of meat,
eggs, fish, etc.. which is taken at about
10 or II O'Clock, like very early
luncheon. If you haven't got a good
appetite for breakfast make it your
business to go and get one instead OF
allowing yourself to be blinded In this
morbid state of affairs and deciding
that all you really need is a cup OF
coffee and a roll or an orange.-Dr
Woods Hutchinson in Woman's Home
Companion.

THE verdict of Burlington county
jury last week is of more than passing
interest to farmers In general. Two men
on trial for shooting thief caught steal
ing peaches were convicted of simple as
sault and battery, the jury contending
that the farmers did not shoot to kill but
to protect their property. Thieves will
do well to think over this verdict, as il
may save them trouble. -EzchGnge.
The verdict and sentence do not APP
pear to teach the thieves as much of a
lesson as 1t does the farmer. The verdict
was for the minor offence because the evil
dence did not show an intent to kill. but the
jury evidently felt that some punishment
should be melted out to the men who
handled the deadly weapon in such a
careless manner. The fine of 800, cou-
pied with the remarks of the Judge who
imposed the sentence, showed that it was
not felt that the matter WAS one of a tri-
vial nature. In his argument before the
jury, ex-Prosecutor Budd frankly stated
that farmer or any property owner has
no right to shoot person who Is stealing
on his land. 1t is only when In the act of
breaking into house or when caught in
side that an offender may be shot. Every
one sympathizes with a property owner
who is constantly annoyed by having his
crops destroyed or stolen, but the law is
plain against his taking summary pro-
ceedings. In the case at issue it seemed
to be plain that there was ample light to
distinguish the forms If not the faces OF
the trespassers. and that it would not
have been very hard to capture them and
have them arrested. When the frearm
was resorted to the user took desperate
chances. We do not agree with the above
extract. Instead of being warning tc
thieves. the verdict was more of warn
ing to the owner of property.

THE NARcISsUS.
Old Legends About This Beautiful and

Old Legends About This Beautiful and
Ancient Flower.
The beautiful narcissus is a very
ancient flower. and poets Of all times
have sung about 1t. 1t bloomed even
as long ago as when gods and god
desses were supposed to live on the
earth. The old Grecian legends say it
was the flower the maiden Proserpine
was gathering when Pluto took her
away to his dark home under the
ground.
Another legend tells about a beauti-
full youth named Narcissus. His IA
Their was river god named Cephissus
and his mother nymph called Liriope.
The wonderful beauty Of the youth
caused many to love him, but he was
cold and Indifferent to all.
A poor little nymph called Echo loved
him so dearly that she pinned away and
died because he would not care for her,
At last Nemesis, the goddess of retri-
button. decided to punish him for his
hard heart.
She caused him to fall In love with
his own image as he looked into a
stream, and as he could never reach
this beautiful reflection he gradually
persisted with hopeless love.
His body was changed into the beau
tiful flowers which have ever since
borne his name- Parsons Weekly.

JUDGK HoRrKR's idea of extending Glenn
ency to foreigners is not bad one. 1t
must be taken into consideration that the
Judge does not believe in letting foreign
er escape punishment for serious crimes,
but he does not think 1t wise to infiict
severe sentences where the cases do not
warrant such action. Forinstance he had
before him on Thursday four Italians who
were charged with stealing some money.
The evidence seemed to point to the fact
that the men had found the property and
had not made any effort to discover the
owner. One man who was not In court,
but who will be brought forth later, bears
an excellent reputation. He works for a
corporation which entrusts him with du-
ties that take him into many houses and
he has never been accused of theft before.
Yet the jury said he was guilty. Judge
Horner made an assertion that probably
fifty of hundred men would, If they
found pocketbook, act on the idea of
findings keeping" and probably he was
right. This does not apply entirely to
foreigners, either. As Prosecutor Atkin-
son said there are a great many cases
brought to the attention of the court
where the offender Is foreigner. These
fellows, it must be remembered, come
from country where they have been OPP
pressed by severe laws all their lives and
to continue to put the law upon them with
severity is one of the best methods of
making anarchists. This does not mean
that foreigners are to escape punishment
because they are foreigners. but it does
mean that they must not be trod upon for
that same reason.

SOME OF THE laws on the statute books
seem to be open to construction to suit
the case in hand, even though not salts
factory to those who seek to have them
explained. The primary election law
appears to be giving trouble in more than
one place. In Burlington county the Re-
publican party gave notice that nine MEM
bers of the executive committee should be
elected. That was in accordance with
the rules of the party on the subject
The same rules allow a secretary to be
elected who is not member of the COM
mittee, and he does not have vote. In
Ocean county there was an attempt to
elect chairman of the committee from
outside the body and there was kick,
and the Attorney General decided that
the chairman must be a member OF the
body and man elected to the committee
at the primary election. This decision
was probably rendered on the assumption
of the Acknowledgement that 1t was the
proper course as the primary law does
not make any provision about the organi-
zation of the committee. But the Ocean
county committee did not rest content
with Attorney Wilson's decision and Of
fered whereas" reciting that sit had
been the custom to elect chairman from
outside the committee and the law is
silent on the question" and adopted a
resolution providing for the election of an
outsider as chairman. 1t is not likely
that any one will take the trouble to make
test of the matter and the chairman
selected will act Also, in Burlington
copntv the Democrats did not elect a
committee at large. as their rules do not
make auv provision for such action, but
that party elected from several of the
election districts and those chosen will
probably fill the vacancies. So that this
norton of the law seems to be "go as
Won please" affair, to be twisted around
tn suit those who want to construe 1t
according to their own ideas. Another
part of the law which is strictly constitu-
ional and legal seems almost ridiculous.
The statute provides that man must get
a petition with a certain number of
sieners and then he can have bis name

So FAR as outward appearances go one
would hardly think that an election is to
be held in this county next Tuesday, yet
such is the fact, The various candidates
are quietly working, very quietly, and
but little interest Is manifested. The idea
advanced for this state of affairs is that
the excitement and heat was all worked
out on the day of the primary. Every
voter should be ON the alert to see that
this state of affairs should not exist next
Tuesday. The Republican party has
nominated candidates who are worthy In
every particular and who should be sup
ported not only by the members of the
party but by the people at large
Griffith w. Lewis has made very eff
cient and capable member of the Assem-
bly, and is entitled to promotion. He was
leader of his party last winter. accepting
the position after repeated destinations.
He felt that an older and more experience
ed member should have the place. Final
ly he accepted and he has no reason to
feel ashamed of his record. He has done
much to secure desired legislation for this
county, among the bills he introduced
and carried to success being many that
were beneficial to farmers. He will, as
Senator, be able to do still more, not on
" for agriculturists but tor the people in
general.
Warren G. Pine, candidate for Assem-
bly. is a new man in the field. This is
perbaps the first time that Mr.. Pine has
asked for q position of Importance, and
the people who met him during his ex-
tended tour through the county before
and since the primary, have become tho
roughly convinced that he will make
capable legislator. He is one OF the coun-
tvs solid business men and has, through
his industry and attention. built up fine
drug trade at Riverside.
Everybody knows Blanchard ii. White,
and what he is one day he is throughout
the wear. A lawyer by profession. he has
lived in the county SO long that he is well
acquainted with the needs of each branch
of business and industry. He will devote
to his duties as legislator The same dill
gence that has brought him success in his
profession, and he may be depended upon
to be man of and for the people.
Harry L. Knight, candidate for County
Clerk. was nominated after spirited con-
test. in which he was opposed by gentle
man who was qualified for the office. The
canvass was free from personal feeling
and was harmonious. Mr.. Winner wants
all his friends to support the successful
nominee, and will do all In his power to
secure his election. Mr.. Knight Is so well
known In Burlington county that 1t Is
NOT necessary to give him special men
Hon. He will make q good clerk, and
