The New Jersey Automobile and Motor
Club will attempt to alter the laws passed
some time ago by the New Jersey legis-
lature that affect driving at night with
out a light The club favors a law that
will compel all vehicles to carry a light
when travelling at night. This remedial
legislation will benefit the drivers of
wagons and carriages i'm country roads
and will tend TO lessen the dangers of
the road. The club also desires that the
fines imposed for breaking the laws in
this respect shall be turned over to the
state treasurer and the money SO raised
shall be expended upon the repair OF the
improved roads of the state, and not for
the building of new roads.

THE FISH NUiSANCE.-Though the farmers, especially those in this valley. have had things better than usual of late, there is always a fly in their ointment and the silver lining to their dark clouds is very apt to be merely plate instead of solid ster- ling. Now comes George Alkire who deposes and says that the farmers are enduring a recurrence of the fish nuisance He says they come down the ditches in schools, and through the laterals gain access to the pas ture lands which they are devastating terribly. He says his pasture is full of them and he is afraid they will destroy his early crop of alfalfa hay. This is the first time the fish nui- sance has been reported since Hi Eldred's pond borders broke during a wet season and his domesticated cat fish got out into the pasture and at tackled hogs, cutting the threats of a number of them with their sharp horns Mir. Alkire's fish are hornless but they root up the alfalfa looking for grub worms. He wouldn't care so much if they were Of a desirable marketable variety but most of them are hump backed suckers and jack salmon that could not be worked off even on a tourist MT. Alkire says he is thinking of starting a campaign in the Water Users association for utilizing the surplus electric power generated at Roosevelt, in huge me- chanlcal plants at Granite Reef, for the distillation of the river water fc fnrna1 infn fha n1nale This would eliminate such impurities as fish. water mOccasins. dead cast and Johnson grass seed and it would only cost a few million dollars to build the plants.

could get his cap on, he started out
to play with his new Ratchet. Ae ne
went down the garden walk and among
the trees, He saw the old cat and her
kittens, playing on the grass; + know ",

the old cat and her kittens, are the
fierce wild animals, roaming about the

before q small cherry tree, and began
cutting It down. in short time MS
q new Ratchet had done its work; andthe
little woodman was ready to go home
now Georges father had paid big

THE DEAD PUPPY.

Many stories are related showing
what almost human feelings are
sometimes manifested by dogs. The
following account Of the grief Of a
spaniel over the death Of her puppies,
and the kindly care for it's remains, is
said to be really true:
"A gentleman living in England
owned spaniel that had three pup
pies. One morning without the knowl-
edge Of the owner of the spaniel, one
of the puppies died and was left In
the nest for three or four days, at the
end OF which time the mother carried
II carefully in her mouth to the gar
den, where the ground had been re-
Gently dug, and there, after few
minutes hard work she made grave
deep enough, and then laid her. puppy
in it, filled up the hole and, after TAX
ing farewell look at the spot for a
few minutes, she returned to her nest
to care for the two little puppies vet
left to her. The great artist, Harrison
Weir, who has drawn SO many wonder
full and striking pictures of. animal
life. has we'll depicted the sad look on
the face OF the mother dog as she
stops in her work of grave digging
to look upon the form Of her poor dead
puppy that will soon be covered from
her forever in the cold, cold ground.

Then his mother said, well will send

and flew out of the nest. That is right

COTTON.

Cotton is an important vegetable
fiber. The different kinds are natives
Of the tropical parts of Asia, Africa.
and America, but are now cultivated
in the temperate zones. They have
three to five lobed leaves rather large
flowers, mostly yellow, but sometimes
purple. The fruit is three to five
celled capsule, spring1ng open when
ripe, and containing mauy seeds
wrapped in cotton, which Is generally
white but sometimes yellow. The
silky cotton known as the sea island
is grown altogether on the sea islands
and the mainland of Georgia, South
Carolina, and Florida. Some of the
cloths which are made from cotton
are. muslin, laces, cambrics, calicoes,
shirt'ngs, silks AMI linen.
The most perfest system OF cult

Castor and po11ux
The Starry
I 1vi;11s
Greek.

Among the star pictures in the sky
may be found one called Gemini or the
Twins. The ancient Greks used to be-
lieve that twin brothers named Castor
and Pollux had been really placed In
the sky They once lived in SPARTA
their mother was the lovely Leda, and
one of her sisters was the beautiful
Helen, whose capture caused the ia
mouse Trojan war
each other as twins are said to be, and
one was never seen without the other
bein~ near. Their love for their sisters
was very great. and once when Helen
was captured by two noted warriors.
these twin brothers of hers found her
and brought her safely back to their
mothers house.
Castor was. very fond of horses. He
could tame the widest one that was
ever caught. and led it about like pet
do as soon as his magic touch had
taught it's fiery spirit that he was its
master. He could ride better than any
one in the kingdom, for no horse had
ever thown him.
Pollux was just as famous in boxing
and wrestling. He taught young men
MANY tricks with the hand and foot,
and was the leader in all games.
The two brothers were proud to be
allowed to go with the other heroes in
quest of the golden fleece. When the
sweet music of Orpheus stilled the
wild storm that arose on the sea and
threatened to wreck the Argo, stars
appeared upon the heads Of Castor and
Pollux for their great love for each
other was known to the Olympian gods
who had sent the storm.
When the curious flames. that some
times during storms play about the
masts and sails of a ship, were seen on
other ships after this voyage Of the
Argo, the sailors would always crv out
See the stars of Castor and Pollux!'
Their love for each other made them
more famous than anything else When
at last Castor was slain in a great bat
! tie, Pollux prayed Jupiter to let them
be again united. The prayer was grant
ed. Not long after this, the poets tell
us, the star pictures of the Twins was
discovered in the sky, and there tho
two loving brothers stay forever
watching the earth to see if they may
ihelp others to be faithful to the end.
