BROKEN

THINK that when friendships are
broken off there Is generally a fault
on both sides. The trouble is most
people expect too much from them,
and when they don't come up to ex-
pectations they are disappointed. The
great thing Is to remember that no one
Is perfect.
Tact is a great help II you want TO
keep our friends. The girl who has
learned just when to say the right
thing and when to keep silent need
have little fear Of losing her friends.
There are times when most Of us feel
out OF humor and inclined to quarrel
with anybody, and at such a moment
. little tact will do more thar any
amount OF arguing.
You will usually and, too, that the
tactful person a heaps of friends, for
she is always popular and q welcome
guest wherever she goes.
There is no surer way of losing
friends than by letting them feel that
you are ever on "the make" People
dislike to think hat friendship IL
measured merely by what can be got
out OF 1t. The friend" who wants q
free prescription" from a doctor and
free puff from an editor, theater
tickets from an actor, and so on, soon
finds herself friendless.
We all look with loathing upon cup
board love" We want to be valued
for what we are Ink not for what we
give. And we quickly drop friends
who's only wish is to turn US to nc-
count.
Unless you can tell your little SEE
crets to a friend with the certainty
that they will go no further that
friend is not worth keeping.
I have had to give up a very dear
chum because all my condolences were
repeated to her sister, who told thetn
to some one else, who connded them
to another, n 80 on. until my inner
most thoughts became public property.
1t should be possible to truss a friend
so thoroughly as to be able to mak<
even indiscreet remarks to her with
perfect safety.

Where the Headquarters Of the Company Is
Located -Matawan, Where Everyone Is Contented
and Satisfied, and Atlantic Highlands, With Its
MatCh|ess View Of the Vessels Passing.

Ing sufficient to handle about any
IRE that Is likely to occur, but they
would not part with the old Wash
fngton engine.
1t was this hand engine from
MatAwan that did such excellent
service at the big South Amboy FIRE
eighteen or twenty years ago, when
the block from David street to Hen
ry street was wiped out. 1t took
the Washingtons of Matawan but
thirteen minutes to get on the scene
that day from the time the bell
sounded In the tower on top of the
Washington house. 1t was pretty
lively work and 1t possibly stands
as a record to this day. There Is
nothing slow about the Matawan
fremen.
Matawan has a population of
about 1000. Its principal indus
tries are a sash and blind factory,
a pottery. a steel and iron works,
the Levett Manufacturing Company,
which makes electrical supplies, two
tile companies, and the American
Rice Food & Manufacturing Com
pany. Besides, Matawan Is in the
midst of a rich farming country. 1t
is a railroad junction, being the
point where the Atlantic Highlands
division of the New York & Long
Branch railroad meets the main
line Of that road. The Jersey Cen
trail Traction Company also extends
through the place. The streets are
graded and macadamized and are
well lighted with electricity. The
water is excellent.
The present prosperity Of Mata-
wan Is due largely to its excellent
municipal administration. The best
and most capable people take an ae-
tive part in public, affairs and as
has already been stated. the voters
things are conducted. Besides Mayor
s. B. Eggleston, the city officials
are:
Councilmen: G. H. Wardell, F.
C. Bedle, Alexander Castor, Earris
B. Henderson, 1. H. Nance, w. K.
H. Shafto.
Board of Health: William Hard

county. Besides Its oyster industry
Keyport has a sash. blind and mill
ing plant, a tile factory, Ice plant, a
shipbuilding and marine railway,
two carriage factories, a large es-
tablishment for manufacturing lu-
bricating oils and greases-the ia
nous R. o. N. Besides these the
Whitall-Tatum Company, Of New
York, has constructed a large fire.
proof building and plans have been
drawn for another. This means bus
mess for Keyport. In the immediate
vicinity are some of the largest brick
and freproofing factories In the
country.
Keyport is a center for the trolley,
being the headquarters for the Jer-
Central Traction Company. Cars
run to Keyport from all the sur
rounding country.
Without a doubt Keyport owes
much of her prosperity to her excel
lent municipal government. Every
body seems to take an interest in
public affairs at Keyport, and, as a
result, some of the best citizens are
at the head of affairs. The place is
well governed, the financial condi-
ton Is of the best and everyone Is
working with the welfare of Keyport
at heart. Much credit Is due John
S. Hendrickson, who Is both bor-
ough treasurer and tax collector, for
the good condition of the borough.
Mr.. Hendrickson takes a great deal
Of pains with his work and, as col
what is coming to 1t infthe way of
tavaC DIV lyooytno thnrA no11ontionr
up he has saved the borough thou
sands Of dollars interest money,
which other places pay on money
borrowed Sin anticipation of taxes"
Keyport now has a neat balance in
her treasury and has not had to Dor
row a cent this year.
In the fall the people will vote on
the proposition whether or not to
bond the place for money to con-
struct sewers. tt seems probable
that the proposition will be carried.
This will be another big feature in
favor of the place and will supply
the one thing that Is lacking to
make 1t an ideal place, although the
drainage is excellent and, being on
the water, sewers have not been as
necessary as in many other towns
much smaller than Keyport.
In Edward E.. Conklin, Keyport
has a progressive mayor. He is al
ways looking out for something that
will benefit the place over which he
presides. He is a prominent mer-
chant in the place and he applies his
business methods to his management
of municipal affairs.
The council of Keyport Is COM
posed of the following: w. E. War
rem, Richard White, Charles Luf-
burrow, George Smith, DR.. Clifford
Armick, John Mason. The borough
clerk is M. B. Taylor; superinten-
dent of public works, j. H. Fitzger-
aid; counsel, H. e. Ackerson, Jr.
The members of the Board Of Ed
ucation are: G. Ackerson, T. Wal
ter Snyder, A. D. Bedle, 8. Frank
Mason, Charles Lufburrow, B. B..
Huyler, Phelps Cherry. r. o. Wal
ling is district clerk and j. s. Hen
Edrickson is custodian Of the school
funds.
On the Board Of Health are Gus
tave Maurer, Abraham Huyler,
Charles f. futile, 8. Frank Mason,
H. w. Hartman, William De Graw.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1910-08-05

His successor was w. A. Dunlap.
But Mr.. Dunlap did not care for
the place and he resigned. Frank
Bedle was appointed to fill the va
cancy for the remainder of the year
and then, at the next election, Mr.,
a Wickle was reelected. He then
was reelected continuously, as stat
ed before, until the election last fall
when the present mayor, Mr.. Egg
gleston, was successful at the polls.
The first council the borough eve
had was composed of Charles H.
Wardell, Carrot Hendrickson, F. G.
Bedle, Lawrence Cartan, Charles A.
Scott and H. H.. Longstreet. These
men started out in a progressive
spirit and the pace they set has
been kept up by the borough ever
since.
Matawan has a graded school I'M
der the control of an efficient Board
Of Education. There is also the
Glenwood Institute, which, at one
time, was n of the best known
boarding schools In this section of
New Jersey. There are churches of
all the principal denominations and
every leading lodge Is represented.
There are four fire companies and
they hold a record of which any
town might boast.
In this connection 1t is interest
ing to know that the Washington
Engine Company of Matawan Is the
oldest fire company In Monmouth
county. There ia no small distinc-
ton for Matawan when 1t is real
lied that Monmouth county contains
such places as Asbury Park, Long
Branch, Red Bank, Freehold and
Keyport. 1t shows the progressive
ness of the place and how it's citi-

for town improvement. The Wash

engaged to Miss Welsh the latter In

share the advantage of an established
