Fifteen thousand bottles OF catsup
were dumped into the waters OF Mar

they represented Noncompliance with

presently become extinct.

Nero's Golden House.

The golden house of Nero seems
from all accounts to have been the
most stupendous dwelling place ever
built for a mortal man. Even If we
regard the ancient descriptions as
somewhat exaggerated It remains one
of the largest royal houses ever built,
and the internal decorations seem to
have been incomparably magnificent.
1t was surrounded by parks, woods
and pools Of great size, which appear
to have been entirely within the walls.
The colonnades Of the house itself ex-
tended a mile in length and crossed
one of the naain thoroughfares of the
city. The cities of the east were ran
sacked for masterpieces Of Greek art
for the interior. The walls shone with
gold and pearls, and the roof rested on
marble columns Of enormous size and
besuty.-New York American.

Lawyer
One Dollar Check Law.

An item is going the rounds of the
press TO the effect that after Jan. j,
1910, person writing a check for less
than 81, will be subject to a penalty of
$500 or Imprisonment for six months.
The source Of this impression is the
section IT'S Of the penal law which was
approved March A, 1909, and which
provides that no person shall make,
issue or pay out any note, check or
memorandum, token or other obliga-
ton for less sum than 81 intended to
circtlate As money or 70 be received on
used in lieu Of lawful money Of the
United States. The United States dis

said, WAS aimed " stop the practice 80

Is Your Family Reading
Worth While.''

So much of current reading is merely
entertaining at best that the question
naturally arises, is it worth while?
Your sons and daughters are bound to
read something. They hunger for
stories which take them into the other
half of the world-the world of adven-
ture, of valor, of fortune-making. The
problem is to give them such reading
without putting into their hands the
literature that is either silly or demon
alizing. The editors of The Youths
Companion believe that a periodical
can be made entertaining and vet
worth while" and The Companion is
conducted on that theory. And that is
one reason why more than half million
American families read it, The paper
is safe, but not dull. Its tales of ad-
venture illustrate the advantages of
tortitude and self reliance. Its stories
of character lay stress on the truth
that right conduct is never a mistake.
Every new subscriber will find it of
special advantage to send at once the
$l.75 for the new 1910 volume. Not
only does he get the beautiful ''Vene-
tian" calendar for 1910, autographed in
thirteen colors and gold, but all the
issues Of The Companion for the re-
naming weeks of 1909 from the time
the subscription is received.

To Aid Road Fund.

An effort will be made to have the
Legislature pass a law requiring eve
ry male citizen in Scotland Neck
Palmyra and Roseneath Townships
between the ages of Is and As to
work the public roads of those town
ships when so required by the Town
ship Supervisors, but no one will be
required to work more than six Co.
days in one year.
Much and lasting good work has
been done on our roads, but the Road
funds are not sufficient to do the
work that should be done. We only
pay II cents on the hundred dollars
worth of property, while a near by
county not so able as we pay 33 1-3
per cent and use the convicts in
working the roads, beside hired help.
Let us have good schools, good
churches and good roads and you
will see the southern part Of old
