Eighteenth Century Mules.

In the way of footwear nothing could
be more captivating for young girls
than the dainty little eighteenth CEN
fury mules which have come again
into fashion. It is so eminently
proper for the wearer to display them
that the directoire frocks which wom-
en- wear which hang long on the floor

A flatterer is by no means necessarily

It is far wiser to tell q woman that
she looks pretty or that she does not

to be suffering. But If the woman has
shown sufficient character to try to
rise above the pain of the moment, or
If her life is such that she has not time
to give way to it, to tell her that she
looks i'll is like giving her a blow. It
takes from her what little backbone
she has, and in nine cases out Of ten
she begins to act as Ill as she is, a con.
dition she had refrained from pre-.

On the other hand, to tell her she
looks well means giving moral brace.

George Hopkins, brakeman on the
Morristown drill, had narrow escape
from death on Thursday. With his
crew he was coupling the mail car to
the LIS train at the Lackawanna sta
tion, The drill engine had freight
car in tow and IL was thought that
the mail car was coupled to the freight
car. Hopkins was standing on the
platform Of the mail Car while it was
being backed up to the train when he
noticed that the cars were uncoupled.
Calling to Warren VanOrden, of the
drill crew who was also on the mail
Car, to be careful, Hopkins started to
put on the brakes by use of the hand
wheel. AS he was turning the wheel
VanOrden put on the emergency air
brake and the hand wheel was released
and spinning around threw Hopkins
down between the rails and in front
of the advancing freight car. The en-
gineer saw Hopkins fall and stopped
the engine just in the nick of time.
Hopkins was badly bruised but did
not leave his work.

MEMORIAL SERVICES.
Many Honor the Memory of the Late
professor Haven.

The South Street Presbyterian
church was crowded on Sunday even
ing, June 28th, at the memorial ser
vices of the late William LIE Roy
Haven, for forty years the head of the
Morristown public schools.
J. Claude Armstrong, president of
the Alumni association, presided. He
spoke Of the deceased from the stand
point Of the pupils of the school. He
referred especially to Mr.. Ravens
sense Of justice and his desire to give
a square deal to everyone. His rela-
tions to the scholars, especially in the
advanced classes, was more like per-
sonal friend than an instructor. His
gray eyes could inspire awe in the
hearts of the unruly in the lower
classes but had a friendly twinkle for
those further advanced. He was prac-
tical Ia his methods and inspired the
pupils with sound reasoning that led
them to see things in their proper
bearing.
DIR. Pierson spoke next and remarked
the likeness Of the deceased to Presi-
dent Lincoln in that they both grew
up on a farm and knew what hard
work meant. Both were students of
human nature and could influence
others for good. After reviewing the
salient points of Mr.. Haven's work in
Morristown he said the board of edu-
cation was gratifed that he remained
in charge of the schools until his
death, although he, in his modesty,
had requested that he might be retired
and younger man put in his place.
Although confined to sick bed for
months he gave advice to those in
charge and his suggestions were carried
out with the result that the schools
we're continued along the same general
lines. In closing he paid a high tri-
butte to the deceased's character. the
prominent traits of which were a
sense of justice, combined with sim
certify and modesty.
Rev. William Russell Bennett spoke
for the churches abiding to Mr..
Ravens christian activity, and said
he was always impressed with his
manliness and integrity. she was
every inch a man."
Rev. Alexander MacColl alluded
briefly to the late superintendent as
his pastor. Stating that he had i'm
pressed him on their first meeting and
told of his cooperation in the work of
the church.

MUSIC FOR HIS COWS.
Jersey Farmer Uses a Phonograph to
Encourage the Milk Industry.

Jersey Farmer Uses Photograph to
Encourage the Milk Industry.
Asserting that the psychic qualities
Of monograph music have the effect
Of persuading his cows to give more
milk than they are inclined to give
without the aid of soul stirring har-
monies, Steever Smith, a farmer near
Great Notch, N. j., went to Montclair,
N. j., recently and purchased dozen
new records at a music store for use
In his dairy.
Smith said he formerly had in his
employ as dairymaid Swiss girl,
whose yodling to the cows had such
soothing effect that the bovines would
have made him rich through their eff
forts IL the pleasant conditions could
have continued for few years. The
girl, Lena by name, got married, and
after her departure the cows moped
and refused to give much milk.
The accidental Introduction Of the
photograph at the farmhouse gave
Smith hint as to It's advantages as a
substitute for the songs of the tuneful
dairymaid, and now the cows are in a
fair way to become heavy milk pro-
ducers, as Of yore.
