GARAGE SOLD

For the third time in the last four
years, since the opening, the Packer
House Garage in Smith street has
again changed hands, the new owner
being Albert Balen, Of Elizabeth, who
has been connected with the Van Syc-
kle garage in New Brunswick avenue,

ped with the largest styles of machin-
cry. Balen is a competent mechanic
and has had considerable experience.
The garage vas formerly managed
by William o. Crabtree, from whom
Balen purchased the establishment.
Crabtree will conduct his garage at
Spring Lake until the season closes
there. This winter he will probably

probably have his headquarters IN
the present building, which will be
known as the Balen Garage.

OrIoin Of "pIaQiarist."

One who appropriates-that is, steals
the literary work Of another to use
1t as his W thought. the child Of
his own brain, is guilty Of plagia-
rism. as everybody knows, yet few are
acquainted with the derivation Of the
word or know that the plagiarist Is lit
orally a child stealer. Among a GER
tain class of criminals in Rome in the
time Of the earlier Caesars, there ex-
listed the damnable custom Of stealing
children and selling them as slaves.
According to Roman law, the child
stealers, when detected. received as a
part Of the penalty for their crime, a
severe fogging. AS the Latin word
playa signifies a stripe or lash, the
ancient kidnapers were termed "pla-
giari"-that is, deserving Of stripes.
So both the crime and the criminals re-
ceived their names from the castiga-
ton inflicted.
