first inspiration to go on the stage BY see
ing East Lynne" She was SO impressed
by Lady Isabel that then and there she
decided an actress she would be. There

Remember the National Cemetery.

Remember the National Cemetery.
Unity of patriotism is not lacking
among the grand army men of this
county, who have fraternized for social
purposes in various sections But one
matter seems to have been overlooked.
At nearly every Post meeting mention is
made of some incident In connection with
the civil war, and the situation of those
trying days forms an interesting theme
for fre-side discussion at all times and
everywhere.
Forty nine years ago, tearing themselves
from home and loved ones, fathers and
sons rushed to the front to fight for the
preservation of the union of states.
Soon after this there was established a
recruiting station and hospital which were
located at Beverly. To the latter place
wounded soldiers were brought from the
south, and the bodies of those not claim
ed after death were inferred in the Sol
diers' National Cemetery there. This is
the only burying ground of that charac-
ter in the state, and with the exception
of fifteen, all the graves, over two hun
dred in number, were made during the
Civil war. Standing guard over those
mounds is the Soldier at Rest" sur
mounted on a shaft 65 feet high Al
though this cemetery is within radius of
about a dozen miles from the various G..
A. r. Posts in the county, in all these
long years there has never yet been con-
certed action by the veterans to make a
formal and combined visit to this govern
ment cemetery in which only the soldier
dead are buried,

OF store keepers who sell a black candy
similar to taffy stick, to small children.
The candy they say is mixed with injur-
ious drugs, two of which are opium and
paragoric. The doctors claim that this Is
against the State law and have asked the
cooperation of Mayor Farmer in suppress
ing the sale of the doped candy. 1t is
said to be not only injurious to health but
also dulls the minds of the school children
who are the heaviest purchasers. The
Mayor has ordered an investigation and
has also sent sample for analysis and If
1t is found to be doped, as claimed, the
Mayor will use harsh measures to suppress
its sale.
A sneak thief entered the hotel of Fred
Pfeffer, at Burlington, Tuesday afternoon,
and in the absence of the proprietor took
gold watch and chain which Mr.. Pfeffer
had left hanging In the pool room. When
he returned from the yard he missed the
articles and immediately suspected the
stranger who a few minutes before had
been in the hotel Mr.. Pfeffer gave chase
and located the man walking rapidly up
East Broad street and caught him as he
was crossing Library street. Mr.. Pfeffer
brought the fellow back to his hotel and
was given the watch upon the prom
Use not to prosecute. After recovering
the stolen articles the stranger was allowed
to depart, but Mr.. Pfeffer notified the
police, who made vain attempt to take
him into custody.
Joshua Matlack, of Mount Holly, has
made application to the Supreme Court
for a rule against Circuit Court Judge
Frank T. Lloyd to show cause why a
mandamus should not be issued to COM

is asked for on the ground of abuse of
legal discretion, In that the order is based
on the misprision of the clerk of this
county for failure to enter on his docket
paper that was on file In his office The
case will be argued at Trenton on June Z.

The matter related to a dispute over a
book account between Max Podolsky, a
glove manufacturer, of Wilmington, Del,
who brought suit against Abraham Saltz-
man, of Mount Holly, to recover on bill
of goods. As some of the latter were not
as represented, Saltzman returned them
and sent his check in part payment for
those which he kept. This proceeding
did not suit Podolsky, who attempted to
force matters In Justice Stacks court, and
the plaintiff was given verdict for $21.
After hearing evidence on the appeal to
the Quarter Sessions, Judge Homer rem
dered a decision favorable to Saltzmsn,
who was ordered to pay So go with inter-
est for the goods he retained.

WANTED SATAN SENT NORTH
Good Example of Scottish Humor In
Remark Made by Railroad
Porter.

Scottish humor is dry rather than
boisterous. and l always think there
is exquisite drollery in the story of
the Stonehaven railway porter and the
Salvation Army captain" To catch
the hang of a little yarn readers must
remember that Stonehaven lies to the
south of Aberdeen. The London train
had drawn up at Stonehaven on ac-
count of slight mishap mile or two
ahead, and Andra, the old porter, had
got into conversation with Salvation
Army officer who had popped his head
out of the compartment to ask the
reason for the delay.
AYE, aye" unused Andra, after CIV
ing the desired information. "ye'n be
for Aberdeen, I'm thinkin'?'
Eyes, my man." was the reply;
I'm bound for Aberdeen--a very
wicked place, I'm told"
What MIGHT We be goin' to dae
there, sir, II it's as bad as a that?"
asked Andra, rather amused at the
visitors words.
"Ah," was the pious answer, I'm
going to drive the devil out of Aber-
deem"
Like lightning came from the old
porter the pawky retorti-
"See an drive him north. chiel;
baud him well to the north!"-Ex-

There was a time when all dogs
we're wild and when what we call
wolves were different from other dogs
only as a collie now is different from
a Newfoundland, for instance. From
time to time you will hear of dogs
that have returned to the life of their
ancestors and have run wild with the
wolves of the prairie or of the woods.

greyhound one night made the acqain-

Netherlands also appointed different
dates for public thanksgiving. from
time to time, and In some historical
works there is record of dispute as
to which of these colonies deserved
the credit for having first inaugurated
the day. Most Of the best founded
historians. however, give the credit to
the New England states.
The Dutch governors of New Meth
erlands appointed occasional days of
thanksgiving IN 1914. 1645, 1856 and
1864, and the English governors fol-
lowed their example IN 1855 and 1860.
and the Protestant Episcopal church
In the United States in its prayer
book, ratified in 1889. recommends for
Thanksgiving day the first Thursday
In November. unless some other doy
be appointed by the civil authorities.
There were also occasional recommen-
datlons by other religious bodies. but

they are transferred to the tray which each pick
er has close at hand. An expert picker with
machine will do the work of from half dozen
to dozen hand pickers.
The cranberries as picked on the boys are
placed in huge wooden boxes and transferred
to a nearby frame building where they are
passed through a machine known as a. "separa-
tor which takes out all the leaves, twigs and
other foreign matter. Then they are sorted for
the elimination of any bad or worm-eaten Der.
ries and finally are placed in barrels, which are
hauled away to railroad yards to be loaded into
cars to the tune of from 220 to 240 barrels

sively. Up to the present time cranberries have

Goblinesque little men are made of

missed from the name, most of these tracts are
located adjacent to rivers or lakes or ponds
so that they can be flooded in the late au-
tnmn and kept under water until spring. The
berries grow on vine which nestles close
to the ground in perfect tangle and save for
keeping out the weeds and battling with the
insect pests, which are numerous, the cranber
ries do net require very much cultivation or
attention until harvest time approaches In the
autumn. Then the cranberry grower must look
forward to period of anxiety, careful, SER
ious scrutiny of the weather. He must
keep close watch on the weather, for If a frost
comes the crop is harvested it will work
sad havoc unless the grower has been fore
warned and flooded his bog or built great bon
fires to keep up the temperature.

Now almost all cranberries picked by the
aid of machines, and because 1t Is tiresome
work manipulating these machines it has come
about that most Of the women and children
have been forced out Of the industry and the
task is largely in the hands of men. the more
skillful of whom receive from So to SIS per day.
The picking machine most extensively used

metal bars. tipped with sharp prongs and set
close together. In operation this scoop is
showed with some considerable force into the
tangle of cranberry vines and then is drawn M
ward and backward with the result that the
vines which have been caught slip between the
metal bars but leave the berries, which are too
large to pass through the openings, as do the
vines, and in consequence are stripped from
