critoire in a dainty morning gown, pale
blue to suit her hair and complexion.
attending to her correspondence, when
the postman arrived and left a letter
for her husband. She took 1t up.
looked at che postmark over the stamp
giving the date of mailing, then at the
postmark on the back giving date of
reception, examined the handwriting
carefully and mused:
81 wonder Who'll mean whom-it is
FROM"
The handwriting was unfamiliar to
her, but she had not seen much of
the writing of any of her husbands
friends. since his letters were usually
addressed to him at his office.
HE won't be at home before 6
o'clock, she continued, thinking, "and
If it contains anything that requires
attention it might be too late and
cause no end of trouble. Then l would
be blamed, and justly blamed. Be
sides, I don't object to Alan's opening
my letters, though for some reason or
other he eve does. I'm going to do
what I think right and take the con-
sequences"
However, to guard against contin-
gencies she pried open the envelope
with a hairpin and without tearing the
paper. She took out the letter and
read:
Dear Ketchum-I have 10 objection to
going to Chicago to close the deal, but
my wife always objects to my going away
anywhere, especially when I don't a
her with me. When 1 do l have to leave
her all day In a hotel in a strange city.
which Is worse for her than staying at
home. I shall keep my departure a Sc
c ct, telegraphing her from Chicago that
I was called away suddenly. l give you
this that you may write me about the
matter at the house, for she opens all my
letters. Otherwise she Is a model wife,
and this is the only fault 1 nave to find
with her. But 1 believe 1t is a common
falling with women. I congratulate you
on having a wife who respects your pri-
vate correspondence. She is an exception
to the rule.
Now, Mrs. Ketchum was no fool.
She saw In this letter a covert lecture
addressed to herself for opening her
husbands mail. Again she studied the
address, also the letter, gradually COM
ing to see an excellent disguise of her
husbands chirography. She folded the
decoy and was about to replace 1t in
its envelope when there was a howl
from the nursery. Dropping both let
ter and envelope on the desk. she ran
to the nursery and picked up her dar-
ling Tommy, aged five, who in trying
to climb on a chiffonier had fallen on
the back of his head.
When Mrs. Ketchum returned to her
escritoire she was agitated. She had
heard that children who fall on the
back of their heads are liable to In
jure the base of the brain and thereby
be crippled for life. She hurriedly

number of scholars seven will attend

Orlof Olson, aged so years, who lived
alone in a little cabin along the rail-
road was killed last Saturday afternoon
by the $50 excursion train out. He
had started for his ca5in and was cross
ing the tracks at the fishing platform
and stepped out from behind some
freight cars onto the track in front of
the approaching train. His head was
crushed, causing instant death. At the
coroner's inquest held on Monday, a
decision of accidental death was given.

Ghost Dance
amden Post-Telegram.

From the Camden Post-Telegram.
Wild ood-by-the-Sea-to use Its full
hyphenated name-proposes to borrow
from our Oriental friends, the Japs,
their feast of Lanterns" celebrated
early In September, In honor of the
ghosts of the departed, who are sup
posed to return to their former homes
on earth TO enjoy the merrymaking and
ceremonies dedicated to them. Wild
wood hasn't had it's FEAST yet, but
the perennial publicity man tells us all
about 1t in advance. He assures us
that on the third and eliminating day
of the feast 1.-THE entire ocean front of
Wildwood by-the-Sea will be occupied.
Thousandsso of lanterns scattered far and
wide, the cries of the participants, the
sounds of the gongs, the music of
many instruments, the figures of the
people flying hither and thither in wild
excitement, blending with the shadows
of the light, form a picture impossible
to describe and which leaves upon the
memory an impression of some grand,
wild, weird scene.n
One would imagine that the ghosts
would be frightened away by such
pandemonium, and perhaps that is the
object, to make it so unpleasant for
them at the finish that they will be
glad to return to the spirit sphere and
not hang around the scenes of their
mundane existence. 1t is a way OF
speeding the parting guest" which
may not safely be practiced on the liv-
ing, but the ghosts can't kick and must
fade away into outer darkness, sus-
tanned only by the hope of another
'tFeastp twelve months hence. The
celebration is unique in these parts
and enough weirdness and supersti-
ton attach to it to make it a decidedly
attractive novelty in the line of seashore
amusement.

Mis-. Fowler an Ansa.s.arsaLs..

Miss Ellen Thorneycroft Fowler, nov.
elist, has decided opinions in opposi'
ton to the suffrage campaign. "For my
part" she says, Il would advise the
woman OF today to confne herself to
the four spheres OF usefulness which
are open to her and which she is 80
well fitted to adorn-the spheres Of do
nestle life, religious activity. social In
iuence and, finally. intellectual culture.
I firmly believe she should keep clear
Of the one sphere which Is at present
closed to hes, that of public and politi-
cal strife" As might be expected,
Miss Fowler's words have not been
received with any degree OF enthusi-
asm by the women leading the tight

the rule. There are many women,

The Farmers are Shipping
Produce

More perishable freight was shipped
by farmers of Southern New Jersey
during the month of July, 1909, than
in any previous month in the history
of that section. A million and a half
dollars worth of produce was distri-
buted over the New England States,
the Middle West and Canada from
points located on the West Jersey d
Seashore Railroad, a part of the Penn
sylvania Railroad System.
In July, 1907, the value of produce
shipped by farmers of the six lower
counties OF New Jersey was SAG, 800. 90.
In 1908 the estimated value of the
shipments was 81, 17s, 900. 90, while July
of bis year shows an increase over 1908
of $50, 10000. The total number of
cal used to transport this freight was
3,9v -over 81 miles of cars if placed
end to end.
Two thousand, three hundred and
tWkpty-two Cars Of potatoes were ship
PEI nH.Sauthern New Jersey in July,
le4eqdfeSf.6f cErs % haul tic
ton oes offered for transportation.
The other 540cars were loaded as follows:
APPLES 5, berries 148, CLAIMS and oysters
1865, fish las, peppers 10, poultry As,
mixed carloads 8.
In the last three years the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad has been conducting a
Development campaign in behalf of the
agricultural and commercial interests
of New Jersey. Commission mer-
chants and buyers all over the country
have been supplied with lists of reli-
able growers and shippers in that sec
lion and the result has been that the
market for Southern New Jersey pro-
duce has been greatly widened. In
addition, TO ena lie the farmer to mar
ket his products quickly and secure the
most advantageous prices, special
schedules have been established and
trains known rs Preference Freight
trains have Leen operated. These have
rights over all other freight trains and
put the produce III the markets in the
best possible condition.
That the campaign conducted by the
railroad, together with the establish
ment of fast freight service and the inn
provement of its facilities, has put the
farmers in Southern New Jersey in
touch with the consumers of q very
wide area is indicated in the following
distribution of the July shipments from
that section:
Twelve hundred cars were sent to
Jersey City and New York, 628 to
Camden and Philadelphia, Alb to Bos-
ton, 25S to other points in Massachu-
sets, 257 to Newark, 1853 to Pittsburgh,
other points in Pennsylvania 144, other
New Jersey points 90, New York
points ZIG, Ohio so, Chicago II, Mary
land points 2, Connecticut $50, YER
mont 8, New Hampshire 81, Maine q,
Rhode Island s6, Toronto 10, Montreal
10 and Michigan 8.
The shipments in 1909 show an in
crease of 964 cars over 1908 and 1881
cars over 1907.

Seaside Sewage Disposal

One of the first of the larger seaside
resorts to install a modern sewage dis
posal plant is Ocean Grove. The plant
is capable of treating a million gallons
of sewage a day, the inoffense effiuent
after treatment being discharged into
the ocean, in deep water, at a distance
of 1900 feet from the shore. Other pop
ulous seaside resorts, particularly At
lantic City, pollute the adjacent waters
of the thoroughfares or ocean by the
discharge of crude sewage, which is at
once offensive and dangerous since
shell fish feed in these waters and be-
ing plentifully taken for use as food
are a source of disease through trans
mission of sewagebred germs into the
human stomach.

set the letter up on the mantel, brush

When Alan Ketchum came home to

about Tommy, who had a headache
and was feverish. The father looked
at the boy, then went into his wife's
room, where he saw the letter on the
mantel.
