THE WISE GUY.

The ignoramus is easier to tolerate
than the wise guy who knows II All
has had experience in all lines OF bust
ness and is an expert at II all-that, ne
freely admits upon any occasion. II
you are a merchant and express an
idea along the line of your business
he won't let you finish, for he mas
something to say himself. You can't
tell him anything about merchants
ing-for wasn't he in business in lii
nois? If you are a mechanically ne
knows the trouble and the problems
of the mechanic, for he has certainly
been there himself. If you are only
an editor-why, didn't he spend years
around a newspaper Office? But take
the trouble to run the thing down and
you would find that he once clerkeo
in a store for week, once SOLO some
old iron to a mechanic and once wrote
an unsigned Piece for the Paper. A
Wise Guy must get lonesome. The uni
versatility of his knowledge puts nam
in such a wearying isolation.-Marion

A SATURDAY SERMON.

Though / speak with the tongues of
men and of angels, and have not charity,
am become as sounding brass. or
tinkling cymbal. I Corinthians XIII.
These words of Paul, the apostle, to
the Corinthians describe the conditions
which prevail with all persons If they
are not charitably disposed toward
their neighbors, their friends and even
those who may be strangers to them,
and especially when they find occa-
sion to talk about them. A man may
be as wise as was Solomon but the
application of his wisdom will not avail
much unless he be blessed with an
appreciation Of the great fact that he
should be charitable in his interpreta-
ton of the doings and sayings of 9TH
ers.
Most folk who give this matter any
thought at all will be sure to arrive at
the conclusion that there is altogether
too little of this real and essential char
ity in the world today; and particularly
on the part of those who should have
the most of it-those who have had
the advantage of good educations and
who have been favored beyond many
of their brethren with share of the
5000
class are much too prone to pick out
the failings, real. but quite frequently
imagined, of others and condemn them
in more or less severe terms. They
misjudge motives. They misinterpret
acts. They do not seem to realize the
important fact that every human being
is not so constituted as to look at the
same thing in the same light. They
think that no ones ideas and opinions
are worth anything unless it be their
own. They use a pint cup with which
to measure humanity when they ought
to know that there is no gauge large
enough for that purpose. About all
they accomplish is the stirring up of
turmoil and hard feelings among the
different members of society. This re-
suits in it's division into classes between
whom a hatred of greater or less in
tensity is likely to spring up.
AS matter of fact, among all per-
sons there should be a large liberality
in the judging of other men and wo-
men. There should be a general dis
position which inclines to put the best
possible construction on the words and
actions of others. A good text for all
individuals to keep in mind Is found in
those immortal words OF Lincoln which
he delivered in his famous address at
the dedication of the battlefield at Get
tysburg: with malice toward none;
with charity for ALL
Charity suffereth long and is kind"
wrote Paul to the Corinthians. "Chari-
ty envieth not; charity vaunteth not
itself. is not puffed up; doth not be-
have itself unseemly, seeketh not her
own, is not easily provoketh, thinketh
no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but
reJoiceth in the truth; beareth all
things, hopeth all things. endureth all
things. Charity never faileth."
How desirable, therefore, should il be
for all men and women to be most
charitably inclined one to the other.
How much more peace and happiness
there would be in the world If there
were more of this sort OF thing.

matter of fact Mr.. Coburn never
looks with the eyes of an optimist or
pessimist at the Kansas wheat crop

County Teachers
Meet at Freehold.

More than le4 of the public school
teachers of Monmouth county gather
ed at Freehold Saturday for the an
nual meeting of the TEACHERS assoeia-
ton. There were interesting sessions

law recognizes 80 years service, whe-
ther entirely in the state or not, bat
20 consecutive years of which must
have been in the state, and one dis
trict. After such service a teacher
may retire on half pay.

boom, Atlantic Highlands; first vice.
president, J. b. Wiley, Red Bank;
second vice-president. Miss Eta DON
ahay, Freehold secretary, A. Robinson;

mendation on the part of the teach
ers, many OF whom declared that the

Negro EIopes With
White Girl

The Freehold police have asked
the police authorities of nearby towns
and cities to apprehend George Day,
a local negro with long criminal rec
ord. who is believed to have eloped
with Edith Reynolds. daughter of
Mr., and Mrs. David Reynolds, white.
The alleged elopement occurred Sun
day. when the young woman, who
will celebrate her seventeenth birth
day next month, started from home
ostensibly to attend the Baptist Sun
day-scholl services at Freehold.
It.was not until the girl failed to
return home that an investigation
was started and facts were learned
that led to the belief that the girl had
been meeting the negro in secret, and
that she had been induced to run
away with him. The Reynolds fam
lily live on what is known as the Da-
vid Buck farm, about a mile and a
half east of Freehold, and Day lived a
short distance beyond them, then he
he changed his residence frequently
and lived alone.
Day occasionly visited the Reynolds
home on some pretext He was there
about s. 80 Sunday morning, endeavor-
ing to trade trivial article with Mr..
ne IStuA hC& IOl1O anu
shortly after nine O'Clock the girl
started for Sunday school. When
she failed to return home her par
ents became suspicious OF Day. A
visit to his place disclosed the fact
that he had gone away. driving his
sorrel horse, which is blind in both
eyes, but good driver, attached to a
buggy wagon. Later it was found
that the girl had secretly taken cloth
ing from her home other than which
he wore when she left Day is ale g
ed to have told some OF shis negro
friends recently that he was going TO
''beat it'' and that he would take a
white girl with him when he left. y
Days criminal record includes the
serving of a six-year sentence in State
prison on charge of manslaughte r
in Middlesex. He has also served
time for chicken stealing in Mon
mouth.
