SCARCITY OF COMMON SENSE
It Is, in Reality, About the Most Un-
 common Quality on Earth

From the New York Evening Sun.
 The only thing that has never become common is common sense. It remains
 rare when all other qualities can be picked up by the wayside. Half the dictionaries do not attempt to define IL,
 so elusive is the trait. Persons hazily say Common sense is horse sense, U
 and vaguely feel that they have some how failed to state fully its exact char lacteristcs. number of instances can be cited where common sense was d1s- played, and quite a lot of persons claim distant relatives who were generally | supposed to possess the quality. But this Is about as near to 1t as It IS pos slble to get. Geniuses are all over every thing; one is obliged to step carefully | to avoid treading on them. Poets, poll | ticians reformers men of mark-they block traffic; and as for playwrights and novelists and singers, 1t is as much as one can do to breathe, they so clog the atmosphere Only common sense Is un-
 usual, and by it's skittishness prompts | us to find it.
 | It may have been killed out in the | large centers by the reigning passion | for phraseology. A certain homeliness and succintness is a necessary accom- paniment of common sense; home | truth crudely-a little rudely-expressed, with crumbs of subsoil clinging to 1t. l A touch of nature, bluntly applied to ar tifcial complications, sending them hur- | rying about their business. This type of speech, which is to say type of mind, | perhaps exists in the quiet corners of the earth, parts where they nasally ejac- ulate: No tomfoolishness around here. Yet common sense is not a mental dia- llect It is a rudimentary mode of thought, simple vision, and we in the big cities are barely acquainted with 1t
 because we find simplicity woefully dull.
 To speak simply, one must have some thing to say; and if one depends upon the matter there are apt to be tiresomely long pauses between talks. Consequently we console ourselves with method and though we have nothing to say we make a point of saying 1t excessively well. 1 We adorn 1t until one cannot be quite sure that 1t does not under it's charm
 of phrase mean something. At any rate,
 the form Is too good to ever break 1t
 and brutally search its kernel. So com-
 mon sense retains it's rarity. and though
 one knows so little about it one has a
 strong feeling that there is a very slight
 possibility of its ever becoming really common.

 News of EDsley

The last skirmish of the political war that has waged vigorously in Ensley for the past two months was fought last night and nothing now remains except the voting that will take place Monday The estimated vote in the Ensley and Wylam boxes, which, it Is claimed, will easily reach 1900, has caused Ensley to be beseged with candidates and their friends, each of whom has put forth every energy to carry what is claimed is the largest box in the county.
 The sheriff's race naturally overshad- owed the others, the friends of each can- ddate claiming the box. The indications are that it will be close. The candidates for other offices, however, have been ex- tremely active and the town has been flooded with political literature.
 The voting place in Ensley will be the city hall with the following gentlemen in charge: Managers, George R. Byrum, F. o. Harris and Crawford Perkins,; clerks J. 1T. Leath and Neil Hutchings returning officer, Wade T. Allen.
 At Wylam the voting will take place at the fire station, the following gentle men in charge: Managers, N. B. Stack, w, J. Stacey and William Muir; clerks, Harry Sawyer and John Miller.
 The polls will open at a. m. and close at 6 D. m.

Appendicitis
How to Avoid It and Escape Surgi- cal Operation, Told Fly One
 Who Knows
A Simple Method That Is Always Ehi-
 caciOus. Trial Package Free

A Simpie MetnOd That IS Always Efh-
 cacfOus. Trial Package Free
 It has only been a few years since it was discovered that a surgical operation would cure appendicitis; in fact, it has been but short time since the disease was discovered and named.
 Whenever there is an inflamed condi- tion of the appendix, caused by impacted faeces in the small cavity opening into the intestine, you then have appendicitis
 The older doctors used to call this in fammation of the bowels, and were pug zled to know the cause.
 Even now, with all the knowledge we have of the disease, no medical man can tell you why We should have an appendix why we find it where it is or what are its functions, if it has any.
 The disease for which the operation is a cure is usually caused by indigestion and in many cases follows a large ano indigestible meal.
 Physicians have until recently recom- mended an operation, but now, as it is known that 1t is caused by indigestion or dyspepsia, cure without an operation is assured.
 Where the patient is treated with Stu. arts Dyspepsia Tablets the unhealth, conditions prevailing rapidly disappear the stomach and intestines are placed back in their normal condition, every 
 and the inflammation is reduced and the operation is avoided.
 Conscientious physicians, who are look. ing after the best interests of their pa tients. will always keep a supply of Stu. arts Dyspepsia Tablets handy in theii office. where in cases of sudden attacks of indigestion they can relieve the pa tient at once.
 There is no record of a case of ap. pendictis where the stomach and bowels were in a healthy condition and properly digested the food from meal to meal
 No better advice can be given to any one who has attacks of indigestion, ol who has been threatened with appendcit is, than to tell him to go to the drus store, pay 50 cents, and take home 6 package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
 Whenever heartburn, gas in stomach or bowels. heart disease or stomach trou bles. sour eructations. acidity or fermen tation are present, act at once. Take ( dose of the Tablets and get relief as soor as possible.
 At all druggsts-50 cents.

SOCIETY IN NEW YORK
By MARGARET WATTS DE FEYsTER.

Newport, where he and his son will spend the summer.
 President Taft's niece, Mrs. George Snowdon, and her husband, delayed theii homecoming from Europe, where they have been spending their honeymoon Mrs. Snowdon's mother, Mrs. Henry Wa ters Taft, accordingly postponed her de- parture,
 The engagement has been announced of Miss Gladys Torrance Benjamin daughter of Park Benjamin, to Frederick Worth Goddard of New York. Miss Ben jamin is a granddaughter of Park Ben jamin, the poet, and grand-niece of John Lothrop Motley, the historian and ambassador to Holland.
 Fashionable Newport is just now inter- ested in an amateur theatrical entertain ment to be given early this month for the animal refuge. Mrs. Lorillard Spencer Jr., who likes Newport so well that she maintains winter cottage there, will take the leading part. The comedy is called Mrs. Rob- and Mrs. Spencer who is remarkably handsome, young woman, will play the principal role A number of others, some of who deferred their spring trips to Europe for the occa- sion, will lend social prestige to the cast.
 Mrs. Barker Gummere of New York and Trenton, N. J., has come near to disrupting the Jersey aristocracy of the state capital. Mrs. Gummere, until sev- eral years ago, occupied prominent place in Charleston, s. C., society. and was well known among the members of the smart set of New Orleans, where her parents Judge and Mrs. F. A. Breaux, live. When MT. Gummere. who ie multi-millionaire, came east and settled in Trenton. Mrs. Gummere natu- rally took the initiative in social affairs She was elected president of the Con- temporary club, and under her regime the younger element became a leading factor This was displeasing to some of the older members and social warfare was opened. It has passed beyond the skirmish stage now and dire results are anticipated-results, I might say, which threaten woman's clubdom all over the state of New Jersey.
 Miss Margaretta Drexel of the Phila- deIphia Drexel family, who will marry Viscount Maidstone will not live in Amer ica again after her marriage. As Mrs. Drexel has been spending many years in breaking into court circles, the knowl- edge that her daughter will forsake America does not come as startling in- telligence.

Restaurant Keepers Arrested

The ordinance requiring all restaurants ing strictly enforced. Assistant Sanitary Inspector J. R.

 As rule they express perfect willing ness to comply with the law, but think they should have been notified and given an opportunity to screen their places as the law directs.
