Literary Notes.

The November Smart Set leads off with
novelette, by Louise Winter which pre-
sents rather unusual study of woman.
"a Brigand in Love- is the title of the
story; but whatever piratical acts the wo-
man in this narrative commits she offsets
at the last by a monumental sacrifice
which, it is safe to say, not one woman in
ten thousand of true maternal feeling
would ever make, whatever the strength
of the compelling motive. The heroine
of this novelette, is New York woman of
means, married to husband with whom
she is temperamentally mismated. The
''other man. in the case finally appears,
in the person of lieutenant in the navy.
but she repulses him until one day her
husband is killed in an accident; then she
makes hurried trip across the continent
and secretly marries her navy lover, just
on the eve of his departure with the fleet
for the Orient. Complications immedia-
tely set in; the wife is injured in a rail-
way wreck and is reported killed; an old
sweetheart turns up in the Philippines
and the supposed widower marries her
from feeling of duty under the peculiar
circumstances attending her arrival; and
when the real wife RECEIVERS after months
of illness and delirium it is to find herself
caught in maze of embarrassment. She
is confronted with a terrible problem
whether to announce her marriage, which
had taken place in such indecent haste
after her husbands death, or keep her
secret, sacrifice her happiness and pre-
serve the respect of the world for both
herself and the innocently bigamous navy
man in the East. In the working out of
the solution to that problem lies a re-
markably interesting story.

Theatres.
CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE.
ssMID-CHANNEL"

For supreme mastery of technique, for
the cunning craft which builds so surely
and so certainly with circumstances, tax
ing into the process always the consider
alton of fate and chance and character,
the highest award always has been hand
ed to Arthur W. Pinero. But in "Mid-
Channel" his stage craft, which is even
less perceptible than usual, excels its own
highest level. Here the tragedy of mid
life has been portrayed with an insistence
on every casual detail. The period in the
matrimonial career when the man and
woman face each other with an alienated
sense, and when they each succumb to
the enlargement or face the further side
of life with as little bitterness and ennui
as possible, has been taken by Pinero for
his theme. 1t tells of the matrimonial
smashup of Theodore Blunde1l and his
wife Zoe. They have been married four
teen years when the play opens, and have
grown tired of trying to reconcile their
differences of temperament. They are
fond OF each other, but love has passed
away, and they get very much on each
others nerves. This is explained later BY
the fact that they have gone, from the
first, after the very tawdry material things
OF financial success and that money brings
"a fine house, lavish dressing for Mrs.
Blundell, extravagant entertaining and all
that-and they seem to have no resources
outside of these. Of course, this life pals
after time. She turns to the admiration
and attention of squad of young men
and the husband becomes entangled with
a divorced woman. This sort of thing
gets tiresome after awhile and attempts
for reconciliation fail. The play has
strong moral.

The directors of the Farmers Exchange
called meeting of the stockholders at the
court house on Saturday to give those
members who have grievances against the
management an opportunity to be heard.
The dissatisfaction expressed at the meet
ing came from Moorestown. Herman
Conrow occupied much time stating that
Moorestown did not have proper represen +.
tation. Farmers at that point In the ab-
sence of station such as Beverly enjoys,
were unable to get In touch with the mar
ket quotations without using the telephone
at an expense. There was complaint that
farmers were not getting as much for their
products as they ought to, and that they
are paying too much for what they buy at
the Exchange.
No exception was taken to the work of
manager Frazer, who is the business head
of the concern.
MIR. Conrow stated that the board of
directors Is composed of comparatively
young men who work sixteen hours day
and who have little time to look after the
business of the Exchange; that the present
board of directors had enough to attend
to. He suggested that five retired farmers
be chosen to do the work of the directors.
Another suggestion was to the effect
that representative from each of the
fourteen shipping stations In the county
select committee of FIVE. said committee
to be instructed to communicate with all
stockholders, request them to make any
complaint, either In writing or person, and
the committee is empowered to make re.
commentators at the annual meeting.
1t was said that the business this year
exceeded that of 1910, and that the Elk.
change was In better condition than ever
before.
| Other members at this meeting had
! grievances to state, but as Mr.. Conrow
not heard from.
The grievance commsttee which has
been appointed Is composed of the follow

School Law to be Tested.

A test case will be made out of the
arrest of George Wilson, well known
farmer near Crosswicks, who was fined
$25 by justice of the peace for violating
the state law in not sending his ward, a
young girl, to school.
The school authorities have been trying
for some time to get Wilson to send the
child to school, but he refused to do so.
The girl, whose name is Annie Harrison,
IA years old, was placed In charitable
institution at Mount Holly when she was
baby. About three years ago she was
turned over to the custody of Mr.. Wilson.
The first year the girl was sent to school
for about three weeks. The second year
she attended school forty seven days. The
third year she went sIxtY-four days, The
school authorities kept a record of her
attendance, and decided that Mr.. Wilson
was violating the new school law.
They urged the farmer several times to
send the girl to school, but for some reason
he failed to do 30. The school board swore
| out warrant for the arrest of Wilson.
The farmer was arrested and taken before
Justice of the Peace John Braislin for 9
| hearing.
| The justice heard the case and imposed
fine of $25. Lawyer s. f. Garrison. o.
Bordentown, who represents Wilson, hal
appealed the case, and will carry 1t to
higher court.

County Commissioners.

In the ensuing election the fact thai
there will be vote on reducing the mum
Der of members OF the Board of Free
holders must not be overlooked. This Ii
matter of great Importance to the people
Of Burlington county. and there should
not be Indifference. Let the question be
discussed and fairly presented and then
let the voters decide whether they want to
have change that will be at least as bene-
fetal as the present system-we believe 1t
will be an improvement.
Several counties have tried the commits
sion system, as it is called, and In every
instance the result has been satisfactory.
In Monmouth county the large board In
two years spent an average of $4O7, 1872
Then the new board took hold and in four
years 1t reduced the average to 1876, 900.
We do not have the figures for the past
year but understand that the amount was
greatly reduced. This cutting of expenses
does does not mean stinting or neglecting
the work. Many more miles Of new roads
have been built than In former years, and
while much more has been spent on re-
pairs owing to heavy automobile traffic.
which is apparent to all who haYe visited
the seaside resorts of Monmouth county,
the expenses have been kept down. All
small wooden bridges haYe been replaced
by concrete work, and there, are no small
factions demanding personal representa-
ton" but the board acts as committee Of
the whole regarding the county rather
than any particular locality.
From Passaic county we haYe the assur-
ance that the benefits of a smaller board
are universally acknowledged. Loose sys-
TENS of awarding contracts were discarded,
superfuous oficials were eliminated, and
large saving has been shown What
ever objection existed at first ON account
of loss of an individual representative on
the board from each township has entirely
passed away In consideration of the larger
benefit derived by the taxpayers.
These are only two counties, but we
have letters from other localities where
the change has been made and they all
bear the same testimony.
The act governing this question was
passed in 1909. Under its provisions Bur
lington county would be. entitled to five
members who would each receive salary
of $500 per annum. This would be
s., 800. The personal bills of mem
bers for the past FIVE years averaged
81. 17S per year, SO it will be seen the sal
aries of the commissioners would not be
much ahead of the present system.

Anuatic Notea.

Arthur Crowell, of Moorestown, has
shipped canoe to Hacks boat house In
Mount holly.
Three ladies and their escorts, forming
a camera party from Philadelphia. took
number of views on the upper creek on
Thursday.
Asa A. Wing. Of Philadelphia, has
shipped his canoes to Mount Holly. and
they have been stored in his new bunga-
low on the upper creek.
Beverley G. Kingdom was one Of the
anglers who enjoyed fishing trip on
Thursday He returned home with black
bass that weighed nearly three pounds.
An angler up the creek on Thursday,
who discarded live bait for the spinner,
succeeded in landing two bass and pike,
but they were under size and put back
into the creek again. The water was too
high for fishing.
Anglers report the perch, pike and bass
fishing In the Delaware river and Its trib-
utaries better than for many years. White
aud yellow perch, eight and ten inches In
length, are being taken in the Delaware.
and pike are biting freely In the creeks.
Starting out to fish on Saturday after
noon, Bradford Herbert was justly an.
noyed when he discovered that his bait
box on the upper creek had been broken
open and his minnows stolen. He will
give substantial reward for the name Of
the guilty party.
Over a dozen Mount Holly anglers gol
fooled on the weather on Sunday. They
started up the creek expecting to have 9
clear day as the conditions indicated, but
the wind changed suddenly. and the fish
ermen were compelled to seek shelter
from the rain that followed just as pike
were beginning to bite.
Going to the mill dam early Thursday
morning. Charles II. Estill, who had the
field all to himself, waited long while
in expectation of strike which did moi
present itself. Becoming Disguised al
his failure to connect. he turned his at
tention to minnow fishing, but he had nc
better luck at that.
With every indication of having de
lightful day for their outing on Sunday
four ladies and their escorts started n
canoes for trip from Pemberton to Phil
adelphia. The beautiful scenery along
the creek at this season Of the year part
ly repaid them for their unpleasant expe
rience, as they padded through all the
rain without any protection. The party
and their baggage were soaking wet OF
reaching the mill dam. After spending
some time around hot stove and eating
dinner in Mount Holly, their journey wa
resumed.
