and forgot to give the key to the
porter when he sent for his clothes.
Mother had always felt injured by
the locked closet and you should have
seen her face when Frank came home
In a state OF foaming wrath. She
looked like the cat that ate the
canary. He hasn't locked 1t since
then. though he runs big risks.
Last week when I came home
found mother in tears. She refused
to explain for some time. | think she
had made up her mind never to tell,
but she craved sympathy. Il seems
that a young man In uniform-she
dwelt upon the uniform as an ex.
tenuating circumstance-had come to
the door with an express package
from New York upon which there was
charge OF Sl.55. She said she told
him she didn't know any one In New
York and she thought Il queer any
one would send a present with a
charge on it and she thought sl.55 too
much and she had only $3.50 anyway
The messenger refused the reduced
rates and was going away with the
package when mother managed to
scrape up four pennies, which he ac-
eepted.
Il can just imagine her look OF
pleased expectancy as she opened the
package, and the awful realization
when she saw the cake Of soap and
the lot Of tissue paper she dreE.

She pretends not to mind Franks
teasing, but she does. A few evenings
later Frank was looking over the pa

exclamations all bearing on the in
credible gullibility of women 'Troi

deceiver ever missed you and this
fellow must have sold you one"
Poor innocent mother said with
great dignity that it wasn't a gold
brick, but a cake of soap, and thai
she knew she didn't know much, buf
she knew enough not to buy a golC
brick and that any one would hav,
been taken in by his uniform and thai
she always thought she could trust ms
to keep my word.
Nothing that Frank or could sal
would convince her that her conf

Nicaragua's Ruler Unable to With

American Hostility.

Managua, Nicaragua. Jose Santos
Zelaya has resigned from the Presi-
dency of Nicaragua. He placed his
resignation in the hands of Congress.
Apparently there was no other
course for him to take The people
were at last aroused. The guns Of
the revolutionists threatened. The
warships Of the United States lay in
Nicaraguan ports.
Managua has been seethfng for
days. The spirit of revolt has spread
even to the gates of the palace. ze-
laya surrounded himself with an
armed guard Unchecked, the popu-
lace have marched through the
streets, crying for the end of the old,
proclaiming the new regime
Accompanying his resignation Ze-
laya sent the following message to
Congress:
THE painful circumstances in
which the country is plunged call
for acts of abnegation and patriotism
on the part of good citizens who are
the witnesses of the oppression of the
Republic by the heavy hand Of fate.
The country is staggering under g.
shameless revolution which threatens
the Nations sovereignty, and a for
eign nation unjustly intervenes in our
affairs, publicly providing the rebels
with arms, which has only resulted in
their being defeated everywhere
through the heroism of our troops.
To avoid further bloodshed, and
for the reason that the revolutionists
have declared that they would put
down their arms when / surrender
the executive power, 4 hereby place
In the hands of the National Assembly
the abandonment of the remainder Of
my term of office, which is to be filed
by a substitute of their choosing, with
the hope that this will result in good
to Nicaragua, the re-establishment of
peace, and particularly the suspension
of the hostility of the United States,
to which ! do not wish to give a pre-
text for intervention.
committee of five Representa-
tives was appointed to draft bill to
accept Zelaya's resignation, which is
now considered a mere formality.
There is no doubt that Congress will
act quickly on the resignation, for the
people have demanded it.
Zelaya's action has not served to
abate the public opposition to DR..
Madriz, now generally looked upon as
certain to be selected as his successor.

No Speed Limit Here.

they may speed to their hearts con-

the prospect of killing pedestrian,
which may be either relief or dis

railroad consists of track, with a

United States Circuit Court returned
a verdict of guilty against all the de-

The verdict of guilty returned

by recommendation to the mercy of

John r. Coyle, Edward A. Boyle and
Patrick Hennessy, who were checkers

Government weighers in weighing car

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS !
Doctors Unite in Protest.

The Physicians Protective Associa-
ton, of Woodbury., adopted a resolu-
ton declaring that no member should
serve any School Board as inspector,
under the new law, for less than 81
per scholar. Under the new law
may have considerable meaning, as
the State Board Of Education has so
far failed to distribute new blanks
and the old system is still being car
ried out. Under the new law each
pupil must undergo twice each school
year physical examination, which
means that nearly $1,000 must be paid
in Woodbury., as there are 945 pupils
enrolled in the schools. Besides, the
inspector must visit the schools sew
eral times weekly, and the doctors de-
clare it will require sacrifice Of per-
sonal practice.

square box with hinged lid. Inside
the box, on partition that BIZ

cts. On one side is a printing and

that the cashier always knows what
the sales are up to date and can COM

Dutch House Names.

In few of the affairs of life does
the Englishman display such lack
of originality as in the choice of a
name for his house Often enough
it would seem that he does not choose
at all. but meekly accepts whatever
designation an unimaginative bgilder
cares to place above the door.
In Holland they do this thing much
better. A recent traveller in the land
of dikes and windmills has been at
pains to make notes Of the names be-
slowed by Dutch merchants upon
their country houses. Here are few
examples, translated: "Our Content

KING LEOPOLD DIES
IN SUDDEN COLLAPSE
Belgian Crown Passes to Albert
Leopold, His Nephew.
NEW RULER IS VERY POPULAR
Prince Albert and Other Relatives
Excluded From the Room Of the
Dying Monarch - Succumbs to
Shock OF Recent Operation.


Brussels, Belgium death of
King Leopold is being mourned
throughout Belgium, but it is with
great relief that the people welcome
the ascension of Prince Albert Leo
pold, and his beautiful wife, the
former Princess Elizabeth Of Ba-
varia.
The King died at 2,35 a. M, mis-
aged and wasted body being unable
to stand the strain put upon it. The
collapse came suddenly and at q mo-
ment when the doctors seemingly had
the greatest hope for his recovery
Throughout the night bulletins is
sued from the sick room indicated
progressive improvement, Apparent
ly the drainage of the wound was per-
feet, as no fever was present, and the
King had been able to take nourish-
ment
The public at large was satisfied
that the King was on the road to re-
covery, but within the pavilion where
the King lay there was a feeling OF
anxiety, chiefly because of Leopold g
great age. After restful day the
patient was able to sleep for brief
period But toward 2 o'clock alarm
+ ing symptoms appeared.
Suddenly the King turned and
called to DR. Thiriar; "J'etouffe, doc
teur, J'etouffe" Il am suffocating).
DR.. Deage was summoned, and the
: two physicians did everything posi-
BILE to prolong life, but without avail.
The end came quickly, and, after a
spell of weakness, peacefully. Prince
Albert arrived at the death bed about
twenty-five minutes later
He was accompanied by Princess
Clementine. Albert kissed the dead
King and left the chamber weeping
Baron Gofiinet, the Kings secretary,
started Immediately for Brussels to
notify the members Of the royal fam
lily.
It appears that the doctors were
totally unprepared for such a fatal
termination. 1t was a nun acting as
a nurse who first noticed the heavy
breathing Of the King She called
DR.. Thiriar to the bedside. Both Doc
tors Thiriar and Deage resorted to
injections of morphine, but these had
no efr9t.
Shortly after the end had come the
Mlu1SL6FS were uOJlueu, Inc uTSC OH
cial to arrive in the death chamber
being the royal chaplain. The Min
listers remained in the chamber for a
considerable time, discussing the sud-
den death and matters of state in sub
dued tones.
There being no direct hereditary
heir, the crown passes to Prince AL
bert, the only son of Leopold s
brother, the late Philippe, Count of
Flanders. The new monarch was
born April 8, 1875, and on October
2, 1900, married Princess Elizabeth
of Bavaria. They have three chill
dren, Prince Leopold, eight years old;
Prince Charles, six years old, and
Princess Marie Jose, who was born
August 4, 1906.
Prince Albert is one Of the most
popular members of the reigning
house of Belgium. His wife is equal
1y popular, their home life being such
as to attract the admiration and love
of the people
