Many of them are old and the

children, have them sent out there
to get them out of the way and to
keep from being troubled with
them. They feel like it would be
a disgrace to send them to the
poor farms, but that if they can
have them adjudged insane it will
relieve them of the criticism of
the neighborhood. OF course, lots
of these old folks are not right
mentally or have but little mental
ity left, but they are not insane
and the only reason for sending
them here is that those who
should care for them want to get
rid of them. It is one of the cry

we are losing respect for old age,

their aged parents are to give an
account for it l do not know"

BID ON SHADOWS, GET GIRL
Nice Lunch "ThroWn In" at Unique
 New Jersey Church Entertainment
 Much Cash Melted.

New Egypt. N. J.-How would you like to bid on a shadow and get girl with a delicious lunch thrown in?" That is what happened at a unique entertainment in the Presbyterian church the other night, and not a single complaint has been heard of any of the bidders failing to get their moneys worth. either in girl or lunch.
 The entertainment was arranged by the church and School Improvement association and announcement of It's features had aroused keen interest and a lot of guessing. At the church the shadows of the girls were thrown upon a screen and the fellow who bid the highest got the girl for the rest of the evening.
 Of course, there were some bidders who fancied that they were fully aware of what they were bidding on since they had evidently become ta- miliar with certain shadows fin dimly. lit parlors; but there were some lively surprises for all that and the fun was at high tension. A large sum was net ted for the church and the Improve ment association.
