low Firemen on Honeymoon.
Members Of Independent Hose COM
pany answered "stiIl alarm" on
Wednesday evening and saw that a
fellow member of the company, who
had just embarked upon the matri-
monial sea, had a safe embarkation.
James Ball was the fortunate young
man to receive the send-otf. The
young man, with his bride, planned
to leave town on the eight-forty train.
The company turned out with the
auto chemical engine and with bell
changing hustled down to the station
just before train time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ball were seated in
their coach in the station yard wait
ing for the arrival of the train before
leaving the vehicle. With Frank
Pierson on the 'front.' seat the search
light on the machine was turned on
the couple.
As the chemical engine entered the
station yard three colored women who
were walking towards the station be-
cane frightened and ran for the plat
form. One Of them tripped and fell
and lost her hat. But she picked her
seia up and continued her mad sprint
for safety, leaving her hat. George
Mellck climbed of the machine
picked up the woman's hat and re-
stored it to her. just at that moment
the coachman of the bridal outfit
drove his rig up Elm street and the
chemical 'trailed after, lefving Mr.
Melick stranded in the station. Up
Elm street and South street and then
down Pine street went the bridal
couple with the chemical along side
and the seaDchlight trained upon the
newly weds.
Back in the station yard the coach
man Of Balls rig kept his horses on
the move but George Pangborn was
right after him with the autOmo-
bile and the young couple could
not escape the searching rays of the
bright light.
Finally when the train drew into
the station Mr.. and Mrs. Ball alighted
from their vehicle and with the
shouted well wishes of the hose boys
mingling with the clang of the autos
bell departed upon their honeymoon.
This young couple had the honor OF
taking out the first marriage license
in Morristown.

DR.. BATTEN'S NEW BOOK.
4 Working Temperance Programme
on Scientific Methods.

Q
/" The Christian Advocate" says of
DR.. Batten's new book -
ga Working Temperance Pro-
gramtne,' by Samuel Zane Batten,
author of 1.-THE Christian State" is
like the other work of its author, Just
what it ought to be. 1t pursues the
scientific method and is full of the
Christian spirit. 1t marshalS facts
clearly, draws sane conclusions and
gives wise advice. 1t treats temper
ance moderately, yet there is in it
plenty of definite conviction and of
fervent feeling. If it could be read
by every citizen of the UNITED States
-tenths of the temperance preach
ing could be dispensed with. If it
could replace the present temperance
instruction in many of the school
textbooks the value of the present
laws on that subject would be greatly
multiplied. No one needs the book
more than the average temperance re-
former, whose frequent excesses the au-
thor impressiyely yet sympathetically
rebukes. (American Baptist Publica-
tion Society, Philadelphia. Paper
