That there are more ways than n
Of killing a cat" is a we'll known fact,
but the newest of ways has been
evolved from the fertile brain of a
Germantown oma who is blessed
with a stingy husband. This husband
is generous enough in one sense Of the
word, His wife may have the best
attire the stores afford charged to his
account, but she may handle no money.
Women, in this mans opinion, know
nothing of the value OF a dollar. On
leaving for his Office in the morning
he kisses her goodby and thrusts a
quarters worth OF trolley tickets into
her hand.
Now milady goes shopping, buys a
few necessities and a fifty dollar wrap
for which she has no use whatever.
Next day she returns the latter, re-
ceives a credit slip for $50 and betakes
herself to the handkerchief counter.
where she spends 30 cents, receiving
$49.50 change. Placing some small
change In her purse and slowing the
roll OF gFeenbacks ia what she con
siders a safer receptacle, she leaves
the shop feeling that she has made
the best of a bad bargain.-Philadel-

WOMAN IN CANOEING
TRAGEDY TELLS NAME

Belmar, Aug. 26:-The identity
of the woman who nearly lost her
life in Shark river early Tuesday
morning when William Miller, of
Brooklyn, one of her two compan-
ions, was drowned, has been estab-
lished by Coroner Purdy. In inyes-
tigating the case he learned that the
woman, who Is now in the Ann May
Memorial Hospital at Spring Lake.
is Mrs. John Hearle, of Calumet,
Mich. She revealed her identity
when questioned by the coroner, but
Before that she had refused to- tell
her name, Arnold Bullwinkle, also
of Brooklyn, who was rescued with
her, after their canoe turned turtle,
would not tell who the woman was.
According to Mr.. Purdy Mrs.
Hearle said that she met Miller, the
dead man, a few weeks ago in
while at the home of a
there. The woman came
down to Asbury Park Monday night
to visit friends there and she met
and Bullwinkle, who had a
camp near here. She was going
with the two young men to their

MONMOUTH COUNTY

not knowing what the census fig
ures are but to be on the safe side.
in the field in the person of VIII
liam A. Beecroft, whose petition was
filed at Freehold Wednesday night.
No republican candidate has filed q
petition and inasmuch as the demo-
Gratis believe that the republicans
know nov Just what the county's
population Is 1t Is not thought 1t will
go to the 100000 or the republicans
would have produced q candidate.
The democrats tried hard to get a
line on the population figures but
failed utterly. Inquiries were met
with the reply that the figures would
be forthcoming in a few days,
Finally to be on the safe side, the
county committee decided to put
UP a man and Mr.. Beecroft was Sc
lected. He had no desire or inclina-
ton for the place but his. friends
were in~sistent. He is the chairman
of the county committee. 1t is be-
lieved that the Office of register of
deeds in Monmouth county would be
a lucrative one
There are some who believe the
democrats put oversa slight trick on
the republicans, but there Is every
reason to believe the G. o. P. leaders
have a pretty accurate notion OF
what Monmouth's population is. If
it should, however, reahc 100000 or
more, the republicans will use past
ers plentifully. 1t is Mr.. Beecroft's
belief that teh figures will fall just
a little short Of 100000, but he was
taking no chances.
