NURSE In QUEST FOR
AN IDEAL HUSBAND
Must Measure Up to Certain
Copyright Poem.
GHWM

NEW YORK. July 22.-Mrs. Alice
Brewer, a trained nurse, living at 139
West Sixty-third street, has ideals
about the man she desires to marry.
Mrs. Brewer, when found by a re-
porter, said it was all a joke, but she
took from the wall this verse. which
is copyrighted by M. T. Sheehan, of
Boston:
A man who. is gentle and just,
A man who is upright and true to his
trust;
Who cares more for honor and love than
for pelf,
And who holds his neighbors as dear as
Who's sober and earnest, and merry and
gay,
Who eheerfully shoulders the cares of the
day,
Whose principles high, whose integrity's
strong,
Who'd rather do right any time than do
wrong"
Now" said the widow, do you
think I'm hard to please when l tell
you that these are my ideals?
"Would I marry again? Well, per-
haps, If a man who answered all that
came along, but I guess they are few"

SEWAGE PROBLEM TO
CONFRONT COUNCILMEN.
Special West Orange Commit
tee Will Report Tonight.

What promises to be an interesting
session of the West Orange Council will
take place tonight, when the aldermen
will hav a meeting postponed from
Tuesday night because of the failure OF
a quorum to materialize then. The re-
port of the special committee which
seeks TO settle the question of a sewage
disposal plant n favors purchasing
property across the way from the plant
in Lakeside emu will afford the prin-
cipal business.
The underground chamber in which
are located the intake tank and engines,
machinery etc, has proved unsatisfac-
tory, and the new plan is to have tne
chambers remain as at present, with
the engines and other apparatus placed
on h upper floor, as appliances of this
sort fare better when above ground.
