THREW swlTcH-Took GUM.
TurnsrviIIe Boy and Girl Placed or
Probation.

Justice of the Peace Frank E. Clark
who last week reserved his decision in
the case of the Schlessinger children
of Turnerville, Wednesday, placed
both Abraham and his sister Marion
on probation for six months and ap-
pointed Grand Juror T. r. Prentice
as probation officer. Justice Clark
stated that in view of the fact that
the children had no mother to look
after them and that their father was
hardly the man to properly instruct
them as to what they should do, that
a reprimand, considering their sur
roundings, would in all probability
serve the ends of justice sufficiently
The children were the ones who
caused a switch to be thrown near
the Turnerville station and are alleged
to have entered the station and taken
gum from a vending machine therein
during the absence of Station Agent
HaMleY.

ernoon and elected directors as fol-
lows: Hollis III. Lyman, Charles S.

however, did not como out on the right

doing so than in recent years, when
the fact of the heavy expense for i'm

ton.

The meeting was harmonious one,
and there was no apparent dissatis-

ent, which is an indication that the
fair association will move along
smoothly again this year.

DRAWING from tn. Senses.

Sense picturing is the latest devel.
opment in the traininE of the young
idea how to draw, and it is certainly
a great aid to accurate INSTALLATION.
Taste picturing is perhaps the most
popular, because it Involves sweet
meats or fruit. Smell ~picturing some
times leads to curious results, as
when a bunch of violets was held TO
the nose of a child and touched it. HIS
sense of touch was stronger than his
sense Of smell, and he Immediately
drew a bird, taking the flowers for
feathers. Sound picturing is also very
deceptive, and it is astonishing how

grown-ups as well as yOungsters) will

p~icturing is especially difficult, and
