AMPLE APOLOGY

There is i'll Congress Western repre-
sentative of Celtic origin, who has more
than once stirred up the animals by
his propensity to bait the opposition
On one occasion he rose to denounce
the statements made in speech that
had been delivered by member of the
other party. His impetuosity led him TO
phrase his remarks rather strongly.
Order, order!" exclaimed the speaker,
pounding with his gavel.
Again, in a minute or two, did the
son of Erin return to his charge of wilful
misstatement. Again was he called to
order
1t was a critical moment. His col
leagues, for motives of policy, did not
wish him to be put out of the debate, so
they limited so by tugging vigorously at
his coat tails.
Now, it's very dangerous matter to
trifle with the tails of an Irishman' 5
coat, save in the cause of friendship.
Nevertheless, the indignant, yet good.
natured member recognized the command
of his party and sat down after deliver
ing this Parthian dart:
II obey the ruling of the House, and
beg to retract what | was about to OBJ
serve!'
That one touch Of Irish oratory took
the whole house by storm. (.

NEW ROOF NEEDED
FOR COURT HOUSE

The Board of Freeholders will meet on
November % and look over the County
Court House at Mays Landing, with 4
view of ascertaining what repairs are re-
quired, and also for the purpose of
awarding a contract for a new roof At
the Board meeting Wednesday Chairman
Willis, of the building committee, stat
ed that the roof needs much repairing
and that it would cost about 81 200 TO
do the work. He desired to have the
committee go ahead with the work
nr, cy2t25.DM. ,.Firvonlyah uqea
Freeholder Anderson Bourgeois object
ed, saying that he understood that no
bid contracts should be given out except
by the vote of the board
: He called on Judge Higbee, solicitor,
to the board for an opinion. The latter
stated that he had repeatedly informed
the board that contracts could not be
let by committees, and that action by
all of the board was requisite.
The committee will therefore advertise
for bids and report them at the next ad-
journed meeting.

FOOTBALL

A football team, composed OF Il number
OF Pleasantville lads, and a few of the
regular Pleasantville team, lost prac-
tlce game to Atlantic City High School
at the Inlet Park, Atlantic City, on last
Tuesday afternoon, by 1870 score
During the first quarter of the game
the Atlantic City team started off nicely
with two touch downs. In the second
and third quarters the PleasantvilIe lads
held their opponents to almost 10 gains
and broke up many OF the plays on the
opposite side, and it was in these quart
ers that Pleasantville threatened Highs
goal.
In the fourth quarter however, the
Atlantic City team again succeeded i'll
crossing the goal for another touchdown
1t was stated by number of specta-
tors that know the game, that the Pleas
antville lads composing the team, could
with little practice, easily have run
away with their opponents, as they made
numerous good punts, plays and tackles
even i'll the unsystematic way they were
playing, and a good part OF the time
made the fully trained and experienced
High School boys play hard to hold thcl
own.
Ralph and Earl Sanders and Dump
Adams did some effective work for Pleas
antyille, while Magee, Highs quarter
back, did the starring for Atlantic City's
team. The line up:

LOVES RITUAL
Smart Setl

tD1udIG EDell
Breathe me the ancient words when
shall find
Your spirit mine; if, seeking you, Life
wins
New Wonder, with old splendor let Us
bind
Our hearts when Loves high sacra-
ment begins.
Exalt my soul with pomp and pageantry
Sing the eternal songs all lovers sing;
Yea, when you come, gold let our vest
ments be,
And lamps of silver let us softly swing
But if at last (hark how 1 whisper
LoveD
You from my temple and from me
should turn,
| pray you chant no psalm my grief
above,
Over the body of Pain let no light
burn.
Go forth in silence, quiet as dove,
Drift, with no sign, from our exultant
place;
We need no Ite at the death of Love,
And none should come to look on
Loves white face.

COOPERATION

There is no one word, perhaps no num-
Der of words, in the every day speech OF
this generation standing for so much as
that at the head of this article. There
is no one man able to hold his own amid
the competitions of these times. No one
man can carry on a business that will
rise to the influence and dignity that
commands public attention and respect.
The world is doing very little single
handed work now-a days. 1t is all team
work Combine is the watchword of oul
generation. The man who refuses to
throw his mite of Judgment and his
capital with his fellowman and work to
a common end is east out aad left as
driftwood upon the shore. In some re
spects this seems cruel and it may work
hardships upon few, but it IS the only
way great ends can be attained. This
spirit and this policy are not new things
IN the world though the reign of them
now seems to be more supreme.

Squire VIM. Lake keeps close record
of important local happenings reaching

dates, etc.

struction ran up as far as 9th street at
G.30 in the evening. Tuesday, September

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME

1t is a waste of time to be busying
yourself with what you conceive to be
the faults of other people. Be assured
that others see as many and as repre-
hensible faults in you. A good many
people who think themselves reformers,
specially chosen to point out and reprove
the sins of others, are merely insutfer
able nuisances. If you desire to reform
your fellows remember that example is
more potent than precept and vastly
more agreeable than precept in the form
it is usually propounded. ATTEND to
your own business" is rather bluff advice,
but it is worth considering. Your fellows
have faults-no doubt about it-but if
they occupy much of your attention the
chances are ten to one that their virtues
out number your own ten to one.
