Wesley and Tea.

In his younger days John Wesley
found it difficult to stop drinking tea.
He wrote in 1746: I'VE agreed it would
prevent great expense, as well of
health as of time and of money, if the
poorer people of our society could be
persuaded to leave off drinking of tea.
We resolved ourselves to begin and set
the example. l expect some difficulty

Enaland's Greatest Mine Fire.

The most serious colliery fire ever
known in Britain was undoubtedly
that which broke out at the Tawd val
ley mine, near Preston. in 1872. Thou
sands Of pounds were spent in trying to
get the flames under control. but they
overcame everything and consumed
some millions of tons of coal \ wall
ten feet in thickness was built round
the affected parts. but the heat cracked
the masonry and brought it down as
fast as it was rebuilt. However. in
1897 the river Tawd overfowed its
banks and went pouring down into the
mine. No fire could withstand such an
immense volume of water hurled upon
it, and, although the flames extended
for 500 yards. they were quenched
after having ragged for quarter Of a
century.-London Tit-Bits.

Shakespeare's Definition of Poetry.


What a pity it is that Shakespeare
ever used that phrase "fne frenzy"
It has become a fuddlesome factor in
the framing Of foolish fancies 1t is
to the honor Of Shakespeare, however,
that he came nearer to giving the
world the true definition of poetry than
has any other man, for he did explain
what constitutes the true art of poe
try making, and from this we are en-
abled to know what Shakespeare con-
sidered poetry. Curiously enough, it
is in the very passage where Shake
speare uses that unfortunate phrase
"fine frenzy" Let us quote:
The poets eye, in fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from
earth to heaven,
And as Imagination bodies forth
The forms Of things unknown the poets
pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy
nothing
A local habitation and a name.

He Works For His Success.

A successful business man thinks out
his business and then works out his

wait for business to come to him. but

DON'T ACT ON

Lucille Demarest when a young girl
read novel that pleased her very
much. The motif on which the story
husband was weak enough to fall into
the tolls of another woman held him
by giving him a free rein until he had
become tired of the rival and came
back to his wife Of his own accord.
Lucille married Sam Smith. Even
Lucile's roseate romance could not
turn the GaGle into Spencer Courtenay
or some other such euphonious appel
lation, but she could think of him as
doing noble acts even as Sam Smith.
He didn't seem to have any man bosom
friend, which troubled her greatly, for
she thought every man should have
such a chum, as she had her own
bosom woman friend.
The Smiths had been married but
short time when Mrs. Smith thought
she discovered that Samuel and her
bosom friend, Gertrude Church, were
becoming enthralled with each other.
The suspicion killed Lucile's romantic
attachment, an attachment that had
lasted since childhood for Miss Church.
Indeed, when she was married she
had told her husband that she would
never consent to marry any man who
did not in the same way, of course,
love her friend as we'll as she loved
her. Mr.. Smith promised to do So
When Mrs. Smith recovered from the
first shock of her discovery that her
traitorous friend was slowly but surely
winding her tolls about Sam she
thought Of the noble heroine of the
novel and how she had saved her hus-
band. Lucile's first move was to in

cards. Smith hated cards, especially

beats or in trying to do so enables
some one else to beat. Every well,

and Cert play, and I'll take a book.
Smith and the guest would then sit
down at the card table, and Mrs.
Smith after reading few pages
would go out of the room, not to ap-
pear again till it was high time that
Miss Church went home. Then, OF
course, Smith must act as her escort.
Then Mrs. Smith bought tickets to
amusements and when the evening to
use them came round would have a
headache and say: 'I've sent word to
Cert that have the tickets and can't
go tonight, begging her to take my
place. I know you'll be glad to take
her, If only for my sake" And when
her husband knitted his brows and
said I'D much rather stay home with
you" she knew he was lying in his
heart and that he was counting the

somewhere, on business. When a man

that he's going on business trip she

green monster or is stupidity conf1ding.
Mrs. Smith saw in the move a culmi-
nation of her husbands infatuation for
Miss Church, or, rather, that Miss
Church had succeeded in winning him
away from his own wife. But when,
the day after her husbands departure,
she called up Gertrude by telephone
and was told that she had gone out of
town, too, the cup Of her misery was
full. She went to the library, took out
the story of the noble woman who had
saved her husband by throwing him
at her rival, took it to the furnace,
opened the door and threw it into the
white hot Goals. Then she went up to
her room and had good cry.
However, having been committed to
the game of keeping her own counsel,
she nerved herself by the time her
husband returned to dissemble further

Then came the reply: "I'm awfully

"All right, if you really can't come. "
Mrs. Smith went into the library,

GOVERNOR FORT
! To TAKE STAND IN
BRE|NTNALL CASE
Quo Warranto Proceedings,
Brought by Retired Adit.-Gen-
eral, Heard in Newark.

The trial of the quo warranto pro-
ceedings concerning the retirement Of
r. Heber Breintnall as adjutant gen.
eral of New Jersey, brought by Attor-
ney General Edmund Wilson in behalf
of General Breintnall against Wilbur
f. Sadler, ir., the present incumbent
of Office of adjutant general, was begun
before Judge Wilbur A. Heisley in the
Essex County Circuit Court today.
Among the galaxy of prominent men in
court waiting to be called as witnesses
was Governor Fort. The governor will
probably go on the stand late in the
day.
The first witness called by former
Attorney General Robert H. McCarter,
counsel for the plaintiff, was General
BreintnaIl himself. On the stand Cen
eral Breintnall testified that he was
appointed to the office of adjutant-
general on February %, 1908. by former
Governor Franklin Murphy. He said
that he was 65 years old on April Is
last. Mr. McCarter then offered in evil
dence the commission proving the ap-
pointment by Governor Murphy, made
in 1908, and a letter from Governor
Fort to General Breintnall. dated
March z, lSUS, announcing tndt ne Hdo
retired him and had appointed Colonel
Frederick Gilkyson to succeed him.
In opening the case Mr.. McCarter
declared that Governor Forts act in
removing General Breintnall was un-
constitutional. He said: 1.-THE term Of
office of R. Heber Breintnan as adju-
tant-general of New Jersey continues
until his voluntary retirement or his
removal therefrom by the sentence of
court martial pursuant to the law
General Breintnall was removed un-
der IAN act concerning the militia of
the State" which was approved on
March 2, 1909, providing for the retire.
ment of officers over 64 years of age.
Colonel Frederick Gilkyson was the
second witness called. He told how he
had been appointed acting adJutant-
general in March, 1909. and removed
from that office on April 10. 1909, Gen.
eral Sadler succeeding him. Doctor
Carl c. Godfrey, who was a clerk in
the office of General Brientnan, was
then called. He identified letters and
documents that passed between the
general and Governor Fort.

MARITIME WANTS
TO DEBATE ON THE
j. S. SENAT0RsH|P
Sends Letter to Former Sem
ator Setting Forth His
Plans.

PLAINFIELD, Nov. Thames Z.
MARITIME today sent the following letter
to former United States Senator James
Smith, jr.:
my Dear Senator-I was amazed to
read your public declaration of yester-
day to the effect that the recent eX-
preston of the Democratic voters of
the State, preferring me for United
States senator, had no meaning and
was not binding As the duly selected
choice of over $4,000 Democratic voters,
who went to the primaries and voted
for me, l must at once protest and re-
sent this declaration on your part.
These votes were cast at the same pri-
maries and by the same Democrats who
selected the delegates that nominated
cur splendid leader of the new Democ-
racy, Woodrow Wilson, for whose NOM
ination and election l was ever as ar
dent and faithful a worker as your
self.
II say l was amazed, because | had
come to believe that, inasmuch as the
Essex county delegation three years
ago came to Trenton at your sugges-
ton. and without any solicitation on
my part, ready to support me as the
party's candidate for Governor, / would
have your support at this time. 1t was
deemed best at that time to nominate
some other Democrat and l cheerfully
acquiesced. Again, when the Legisla-
ture, In Joint session, four years ago,
selected a United States senator l was
the choice of my party and was COM
plimented by the Democratic votes in
the Legislature, you having given me
vour support and likewise having pre-
viously and emphatically declared on
several occasions that you were en-
tirely out of politics.
my faith in your intention not to see
aside the will of the Democratic voters
was further increased by the attitude
which you assumed in your Newark
newspapers, just prior to the election.
You came out boldly in support of the
primary expression, and only two days
before election declared, editorially;
The conditions are all prepared for
one of the most shameful chapters in
Legislative history in this State for the
purchase or attempted purchase of a
United States senatorship.' True, you
were discussing our common enemy,
the Rep Iblican party; but is there any
difference in Republican morals and
Democratic morals?
"If the Republicans were bound by
the primary result, how much more so
our party, which has led the good fight
for permitting the voters of the State
to say who shall represent them in the
United States Senate.
LAS you doubtless know, no State in
the Union has ever witnessed the shame
of it's Legislature going back on the
primary expression for United States
senator, with the single exception of
Illinois, and I am confident that you
are good enough Jerseyman and stanch
enough Democrat not to want to place
our beloved State and party in the
category with Illinois, I entered the
