COLLECTOR
PAYS BACK FEES
RULED ILLEGAL
|Kearny Official Acts Promptly
When Told He Had $500
Not Rightly His.

A mild sensation vas occasioned in
Kearny official circles today by the
unlooked-for delivery by Town Collec-
tor Frederick L. Pierce, to Town Clerk
William B. Ross, of a certified check
for $297.45, being the total amount paid
to the former since the beginning of
the present year, when he tok office,
for fees in addition to his salary as
collector.
The collector recently presented to
the Town Council a bill for fees for
conducting the customary sales of prop
erty for unpaid taxes and for sales un-
der the Martin act law. 1t occurred to
Mayor Louis M. Brock that, while It
had been usual to allow fees in addi-
ton to salaries to collectors and other
officers in the past, the town could not
now legally disburse money for such
service in addition to stated salaries.
Advice was sought by the mayor in
order to clear his doubt, and Town
| Counsel Edward Kenny rendered an
opinion to the effect hat the mayors
| SurI11lSG vas COIiCSt III AdSts tliat taO
Act of 1908 allowing such extra com
pensation to collectors, and under
which Mr.. Pierce and his predecessors
were acting, has since been amended so
as to deny any fees to such salaried
| officers.
Immediately on learning the coun-
sells opinion Mr.. Pierce says that,
despite the fact that he had felt en-
titled to such fees through precedent
and otherwise, he deemed it best to
make return at once of all money that
had peer paid him. The money he de-
clares a been paid n received in
good faith.
The situation developed is peculiar,
for although much money has been dis
bursed in fees, in addition to salaries
| for many ears in Kearny, none has
been returned or has its return been de-
| manded. At the next meeting of the
| Town Council on December 90 1t is not
| unlikely that some action may be taken
| looking to the collection of q consider
| able sum paid in fees to various officers
for many years past.

SALUTING THE BRIDE.

AT a village station husky young
man and a robust young woman
boarded the train, and they had only
taken their seat when his arm went
around her waist and her head fell on
his shoulder. The other passengers
became interested at once, and gen
eral grin passed around the COACH
Some peppermint drops, carried in
the young mans vest pocket and doled
out one by one, had been eaten be-
lore he caught onto the smiles. Then
he stood up. and said:
Ladies and gentlemen, this is nv
wife. We was married an hour ago.

Nancy rose up with a blush and
those twelve men, one after another,
left their seats and came forward and
gave her >brotherly kiss and wished
her all happiness. When the circus

SOME OF GRANDMA'S
FAVORITE SAYINGS

Open the door of your heart: let in
sympathy sweet for stranger and kin.
It will make the halls Of the heart so
fair :.
That angels may enter unaware.
Vanity bears flowers butt no fruit.
Charity always goes FARTHER than it
is sent. =,
Preaching and practice are twins
that often bet separated.
Caring for things is better than
working hard to get money to buy
things.
woman without wrinkles on her
brow seldom knows much Of the real
joys or sorrows Of life.
Few of us ever have all we would
like. 1t is better for US so. It is like
spoiled child that gets everything
he cries for.
Cut out some Of the really unnec-
essary household work and take some
time 0ut-of-doors with the children.
and thus renew your youth.
Wnen you go to bed at night, sWeep
your mind clear of everything and go
to sleep. Failures, hopes, dreams
everything; let all go and rest up for
the day that is coming.
A safe cure for constipation, which
mas relieved chronic cases, is the free
use OF cold water; drinking a glass
1ul after each meal and one between
meals. This simple practice has rem
dered the use of drugs unnecessary to
persons who had depended on them.
Don't think it is waste Of time to
rest little while, now and then. Lie

stretch out at full length, let 20 Of
everything and shut the eyes and rest
Most Of US KEEP keyed up too tight; it
wears us out more than the work we
