A Sign Of Death.

There may have been many signs"
of death-so some people believe-but
one described here is probably new to
many. Mr.. w. B. Cooper Of Chelten-
ham tells Of his father being Ill, but
not confined to bed. and one sunny day
in June when he walked across the
garden another man, the facsimile Of
his father, met him and apparently
passed into him"
Shortly after my father came to me
and said, Did you see me so across
the gardenY l said, Yes Well he
said, Il shan't be here long. Our fam
fly see themselves before they die
Although had seen this, said, Non
sense He shook his head and walked
away. Shortly after he took to bis
bed and died July 8. Ny father during
the few days he was in bed-we were
haymaking at the time-asked each
morning, Which field are You in nowf'
When we came to certain field called
Galley he said, with sigh of great
satisfaction, 'Ah, shall die now"
He died the same morning near mid
day.-T. Prs London Weekly.

He Was a Poor euess.r

He was a new conductor and anx.
ious to expedite matters. When be
saw a woman holding two dollar bill
In her hand he dispensed with the
customary exhortation to pay her fare
and began to count out change. There
had been a drain on his pockets
throughout the trip, and he was
obliged to interview half the passen-
gers in the car before he finally Sc
cured the desired small coin. FINAL
the transaction was completed, and the
conductor returned to the woman.
"FareT he said
The woman fished a nickel from her
pocketbook. Then she locked at the
two dollar bill
Dear mey' she said. How careless
1 ami 1 forgot l had that money In
my hand. Somebody might have
stolen it."
"Chumpr' growled the conductor.
The woman thought he meant her,
but he didn't. He was cursing his
own stupidity.-New York Globe.

1t is currently stated that the farmers
of the state are much more indignant
over the enactment and approval of the
Radcliffe gunners' license bill than they
are elated over the Gauntt trolley freight
bill. On Tuesday last large delegation
Fort, to induce him to veto the bill. but
he signed It, His official explanation was
that the revenue from the bill would more
than offset his disapproval of that part OF
the appropriation bill which gave out $40,
600 to the Fish and Game Commission.
The Radcliffe act is indeed a drastic
measure for New Jersey. Nothing of the
kind has ever before been known here,
though such law has long been advo
Gated Hitherto any farmer or resident
citizen could take his gun and go hunt
ing, in the open season, without leave or
license from anybody, SO long as he was
on his own premises or had permission of
property owners over whose lands he
hunted.
Now no man or woman may at any time
hunt, pursue or kill with a gun or any
firearm. any wild animals or fowl which
are protected by law during any part of
the year. without first going to the clerk
of the county. city, borough, town. town
ship or village and taking out license,
for which $1.15 must be paid. If any
citizen does go hunting on his or her own
premises, without first taking out such
license. he or she will be liable to PEN
atty of $50 for each ofense.

Editorial Comments.

Hereafter, unless the law is repealed
drivers on the highways in this state dur
ing the hours Of night must display &
light on their vehicles
The measure. which became law Wed
nesday, was opposed by the farmers. and
seemingly, without reason. 1t would ap
pear to be quite as necessary for horse
drawn carriage to carry light after darh
as it is for horseless carriage to carry
lights after dark.
On the ocean highways, vessels of al
descriptions are required to display lights
in the night time, and only for the pur.
pose of protection. An automobile run.
ming over country road during the night
carries lights. 1t is no danger of being
run into by horse-drawn vehicle. but
collision with horse-drawn vehicle means
sometimes death and injury, which re-
suit might be avoided II lights were dis
played by both vehicles.
The automobile has the right to occupy
the highways. 1t is not an interloper,
and the law requires its driver to take all
precautions that are necessary to the pre-
servation of life and limb of other users of
the roads.
1t is only reasonable that drivers of
other vehicles should be required to take
the same precaution.- Gazette.

We trust the governing body" of this
municipality, whatever 1t may be, will
pay no heed to the law which Senator
Thomas ]. Hillery, of Morris. introduced
and had passed by the late lamented legis-
lature, concerning drunkards and those
who might, could, would or should be-
come drunkards This measure provides
for board of protectors" in each mu-
nicipality. whose duty is to ascertain those
who are habitual druHkards or "who are
likely to become a drunkard" and to
notify every liquor dealer to refuse to
sell him drink. Heavy penalties are pro-
vided Those who are candidates for the
drunkards' list are to be permitted to ap
pear and defend themselves, and the act
allows the saloonkeepers a chance to deny
the sale. if they can. One cannot imagine
a law which would give wider opportunity
for blackmail, nor one which would be
used more frequently to ruin men of
honor and responsibility if the "board of
protectors" should be appointed in any
city of ordinary size. The checking of
intemperance by the means of laws to
make liquor sellers responsible for
drunkenness on their premises has been
attempted, with moderate success, but it
has not taken on so gross form as the
Hillery hypocrisy provides. NeaOGrk Call.
