ADVENTURES OF JOHNNY pop
BY Kit Tilling, Aged IA,
kearny. n. j.

YoHNNY pop was a little colored boy,
as black as black could be; in fact,
if you held coal against his face
YOU would not be able to see it, for
there was little difference between the
color of Johnny's face and the black
ness of a coal. That is, of course, If
Johnny would permit you, as he was
a very headstrong little boy, and l
hardly believe that he would like a
body to hold coal to him just for eX-
perience sake He lived in a small.
whitewashed hut, just at the end of the
COW path, that rose up and into big,
dark, mysterious. and, indeed. almost
frightful woods. Johnny had wondered
full many a time what was the secret
of the Great Pine Woods. Many times
had he pondered as he lay in his trun-
die bed over the mysterious sounds
that came forth from it. Sometimes he
would hear prolonged 100000 COCOON
that would make him shudder until
cold drops came on his forehead. Other
times he would hear the long dr. 1wn-
out swish -sh-sh that would rise TIL 1t
sounded like thunder and again fall till
Johnny had to listen very hard to hear
il. Often, too, these sounds would
commingle with result OF almost
soaring Johnny to death.
When Johnny was 3 years old his
greatest ambition was to visit the
Great Pine Woods. When he was he
was firmly resolved that some time he
would investigate the strange sounds
that haunted his sleep and occupied his
IN. i'd the greater rart of the day. When
he was he vowed that another birth
day would not pass until he knew the
secret!
Strange to say, he had never asked
his nanny about the sounds. His
nanny had never, to his knowledge,
>spoken of them, either; he reasoned
that If nanny had not spoken of
them she could not have regarded them
as important, and, therefore. would
scoff at his fears and suspicious and
would probably call him foolish and
silly and other such names. He con-
cluded that the whole matter lay with
himself If he did not look into it
nobody else would. and he might live
his whole life and never be the wiser.
Finally the time came and Johnny
Pop, with a great effort at graveness,
prepared for his journey 1t was very
hot and decidedly dusty, and Johnny
must needs take something along to
eat He remembered a big, fat water
melon downstairs in the - his mani
my called it "the preserve cellar"
Nanny had often joked lightly that
it was an unusually hard task to pre-
serve watermelon when he was around,
so he thought she would not mind if a
piece was taken out of this one. With

CENTRE MARKET

Speakers at Ceremonies Rec0g-
nize Fitness of Protest Against

Rain did not deter several hundred
citizens, principally Centre Market

employees, together with number of
local candidates, from attending the
Democratic banner raising at the cor
ner of Commerce and Mulberry streets
yesterday afternoon under the auspices
of the Centre Market Democratic
League.
Referring to Centre Market square
as being decidedly appropriate place
for a Democratic gathering, which at
this time is essentially protest
against the high cost of living, all the
speakers lauded the selection of Wood
row Wilson as the Democratic nominee,
predicted his election, not only as Gov
ernor of New Jersey, but President of
the United States.
With the band playing America
as the banner was flung to the breeze
and He's a Jolly Good Fellow" as
Mayor Haussling arose to address the
audience, the latter forgot all about
the climatic conditions and urged all
the speakers to keep on talking.
Peter Rathberger, who presided, and
Chris Wolters, jr.. who was one OF
the prime movers in the affair, both
lauded the entire ticket. and Congress
sional Candidate Walter I. Mccoy, ].
Harry Hull, candidate Tor register
with DR.. Charles F. Kraemer, spoke on
the tariff as an issue. while Edward
Shickhaus, candidate for supervisor

freeholder, made the abuses at the
Overlook Insane Hospital their theme
Mayor Haussling, among other
things, said:
"One matter | want to talk about Is
meadow reclamation. My opponent
said, If he was correctly quoted, that
the city ought to walt until after the
Passaic sewer bonds are issued. That
means from four to six years, and !
claim that Newark is growing too rap
idly to wait that long. l claim that II

the trouble of walking uphill. But, as
1T was, he found his thoughts wander
ing at random and next turning to
home and his play things. And then
he looked back and, to his great
fright, saw his nanny gazing silently
at him, her face motionless and ex-
pressionless, but that big foreflnger OF
mammy's swaying like the inverted
pendulum of clock-back and forth
back and forth-back and forth! And,
oh. wasn't he scared; but just that
much more determined, so with added
vigor he sprang up the path.
When he was SO fatigued that he
could hardly walk he looked back
again, and there was nanny. just as
before, slowly wagging her finger, and
his fancy almost made him believe that
1t was saying, Watch out. Johnny
Pop! Watch OUT" Again, resolutely,
he turned his face to the Great Pine
Woods and his ears hearkened to the
sounds emitting therefrom. At last he
was in the precepts of the woods and
the cooling shade revived him and his
musty thoughts considerably Once
more he looked back, and far down the
valley he made out his mothers face
watching silently through the window
pane and still the finger swaying.
watch out, Johnny Pop! Watch
OUT"
Terrified, he fled into the cool shade
and tangled depths of the Great Pine
Woods. Now had come the supreme
moment of the life of Johnny Pop. His
ambition, his dreams, his thirst. his
glory, his everything was about to be
realized. Oh! happy thoughts. But
first he must attend to his watermelon
for he was dreadfully hungry, was
Johnny Pop. SO straightway he made
for a tall stump and sat himself there
upon, his fingers trembling as he cut
the melon with the broken blade of his
pocketknife.
He attacked the melon ravenously
and in a remarkably short time there
was nothing left but the rind. Now
he would find the secret OF the sounds,
and with great vehemence he SHE'D the
rind at the nearest pine tree; q duh
echo sounded all over the woods.
Hardly had the rumblng reverbera-
tiof1s subsidized when a great, tall,
sepulchal form, clad in white shroud
and minus arms, rose and in grave
yard accents demanded:
Johnny Pop. I am the spirit that
moves the trees to talk and the owls
to hoot. Seekest thou me?"
This last was spoken or rather
roared in such a high pitch that john
ny Pops knees shook so violently that
he slipped off his high perch and fell
headlong to the ground.
His head hurt awfully; his brain
rang with the thoughts of his expert
ences. Where was he? He gazed
around him and with difficulty pushed
the heavy trundle-bed from his feet.
The sheets were wound about him and
the pillows were lying in disorder
altogether he had spent an eventful
night Nanny leaned over him.
Johnny Pop she said-how de-
licious her voice sounded-"w what's that
youse been sayin about woods an
noises an ghosts's an watahmeln an
fingers shakin an all o that tush?
Declah to goodness. chile, youse been

Barnard Soph, Barred from
Rough Hazing, Finds Enough

NEW YORK, Oct. S-The faculty of
Barnard College decided that no more
rough hazing would be permitted there.
The method of initiation resorted to in
years gone by, known as the "Mys-
teries,'' was considered to be most
harmful to the young and unsophisti-
Gated freshmen. They We're compelled
when blindfolded, to eat spaghetti
sprinkled with confetti. push pennies
along the floor with their noses, and,
worst of all. to rob their hair of all
adjoining rats, puffs, etc, keeping it in
this sad condition for two weeks. 1t
was thought by the faculty that these
strenuous proceedings worked on the
nerves of the young women students.
But the present sophs did not wish
to be deprived of showing their
strength over the timid freshies, and
SO at noon yesterday they decided to
put them through a course of training
that they had been compelled to elimi-
nate in their plans for the afternoon
They invaded the freshman study in a
body.
Some had to make speeches from the
tops of tables on "Why Curly Hair Is
Good for the Teeth and why Air
ships Won't Fly in the Subway" They
were then taken by the sophomores and
pushed through halls into the junior
class meeting, breaking up the session

LOGANSPORT. Ind, Oct. Sin the
case of Margaret Owens against Rob
ert Owens, the refusal of husband to
permit his wife to place her cold feet
in the middle of his back was given
as grounds for divorce. and Judge John
S. Lacey evidently regarded 1T sufficient.
as he rendered judgment in favor OF
the plaintiff.
The husband, who appeared in the
Newark evening star and Newark advertiser., 1910-10-08

case, testified that his wife from the
first of their married life persisted in
placing her cold feet in the middle of
his back. and that finally he got tired
of 1t and made her stop. She said he
became so touchy he would almost
crawl out of bed every time she touched
him with her feet. She also COM
planned that the husband had not
kissed her in three years.
The husband answered this by saying
that three years ago during a quarrel
his wife informed him that hereafter
he should consider her only as a SER
want in the house. He said that being
married man, he had scruples about
kissing the hired girl.
