From Burlington comes the latest story
of youthful wrongdoing, in the shape OF
q schoolboy going to his studies under the
influence Of liquor. That the case was
exaggerated there is little doubt, the first
report showing that there were number
of boys in the affair, while investigation
by the Board of Education got the offence
down to one boy The latter is large
fellow and might be taken to be OF legal
age, but that ID subject for investigation
by the excise commission to whom the
matter has been assigned. The boy was
expelled from school. The NesoGrk Nesos,
with other papers, commented upon the
situation. and published the following,
which hits the nail right on the head;
"The brewers and saloon keepers are
everywhere demanding more liberal laws;
laws that will allow Sunday selling and
other innovations. They claim that they
want to get out of politics, that they DO
not, as rule, sell to minors or to persons
already intoxicated. Yet in Burlington
they sell to school boys and In other
places they willingly sell to minors whose
parents send them to the saloons for beer.
II those who control the saloons and al
legged hotels would do what they could
to abolish Illegal selling of every kind; to
minors, to intoxicated persons, to girls, on
Sundays; If they wsuld insist upon all
their retail customers obeying the law,
and refused to supply those who failed to
do so, such shameful stories as that which
comes from Burlington would never be
heard OF.

cant for job, 81 have been told that
you are looking for a clerk"

desk.
Il suppose you want a person who
neither smokes, drinks nor swears and

capable; one who will stop at nothing,
consistent with his principles, to fur
Their the interests of his employer. In
short, a brisk, intelligent all around
man who knows business from A to q

so, am the individual you are look
ing for"
You will pardon my diffidence,

claim to be feel myself unworthy of
becoming your boss Good morning!"

Browns Mills.

This resort has awakened very much
during the past month, and the season
has been and promises to be for some
time, quite successful. The large hotel
is filed and the smaller houses have their
share of patronage.
The railroad company has been doing
considerable work. The track has been
repaired and placed in fine order, and a
'sY" has been built on which engines can
he turned. When the next change in the
timetable takes place. some of the trains
which now lie at Pemberton all night,
will have this place as their terminus
Connection with the Nellie Bly, and other
New York trains Is said to be under con-
sideration. A telephone system from the
main road will be run up the branch and
the block system will be extended from
South Pemberton to the station at Browns
Mills.
Charles E. Pew. of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, has been at this re-
sort for some time for the benefit of his
health. His private car is at the station
and is admired by all the natives.
The new dam seems to be weak in
some way. 1t was not equal to the occa.
sion during the recent heavy rain. and in
stead of going through the gates the
water swept oyer the road and caused
washout. There are those who watched
the construction of the dam who are now
saying II told you 80.

Learning English.


The essential difference between the
signifcation of words and terms in the
English tongue which are almost the
same in etymology and origin is a
great element of difficulty to foreign
er who is learning the language, fact
to which a certain attache of foreign
mission at Washington recently testi-
fed.
When. the budding diplomatist In
question arrived at our national capt.
tai year or two ago he soon capitu-
lated to the charms Of young woman
of the official set, and they speedily
became the best Of friends. A month
or so ago the attache returned to this
country after a lengthy leave of abb
sence passed in his own land. About
the first thing he did on reaching
Washington was to send note to the
lady of his admiration, wherein, to her
establishment and indignation, he gave
expression to this sentiment:

gaze upon your unmatched eyes,

CHESTNUT STREET OPERA HOUSE.
SERVANT Ia the House."

Charles Ram Kennedy's remarkable
play, 1.-The Servant in the House" which
entered upon its third week at the Chest
nut Street Opera House. Philadelphia, last
evening, is proving play of the most abb
sorbing interest to all classes-those who
are unusually classed as non-theatre-goers
as well as to the regular theatre habitue-
an interest that is growing with every
performance of this powerfully impressive
drama. This play with its wonderfully
humanizing story is one that will have
special appealing interest during the
Lenten season, play in which the brother
hood of man and uplifting ideals are 80
impressed in the story. The play Is per-
fectly acted the Henry Miller Associate
Players giving one of the most remarkable
performances ever witnessed here. Ty-
rome Powers, in his marvelously stirring
eugrossing portrayal of the Drain Man,
Walter Hampden, as the gentle all-seeing
Manson" Arthur Lewis as the time-serv-
ing Bishop of Lancashire" are striking
characterizations. Sterling portrayals are
also given by Mabel Moore, as Mary"
Essex Dane, as the wears wife; Frank
Mills as the VICAR" and Ben Field, as
Buttons"

so, and it is said that he has made re-
markable success of it. To illustrate
Bradford's verses, 1.-THE Little Journeys

has secured John r. Neill, who is prob
ably the best known illustrator of chill
dren's books in America. Together they
have made the prettiest feature ever
printed in comic section of a newspa-

PERTAINING and amusing. Neill's pictures
are beautiful and attractive.

DID It In Rhyme.

The late Rev. John Skinner, author
of ANNALS of Scottish Episcopacy,"
was first appointed to charge in Mon
trose, whence he was removed to
Banff, and ultimately to Forfar. Aft
er he had left Montrose it reached his
ears that an Ill natured insinuation
was circulating there that he had been
induced to leave this town by the
temptation of better income and of
fat pork, which, it would appear, was
plentiful in the locality of his new in
cu1nbency. Indignant at such an as
persion, he wrote letter, directed to
his maligners, vindicating himself
sharply from it, which he showed to
his grandfather, John Skinner Of
Langside, for his approval. The old
gentleman objected to it as too lengthy
and proposed the following pithy sub
stitute:
Had Skinner been of carnal mind.
AS strangely We suppose,
Or had he even been fond of swine
He'd neer have left Montrose.
