Riding q Colt.

II q young colt is ridden or driven
several miles over cobblestones or even
over pike or gravel road he may be
stove up for life. A colts legs and
feet are filed with soft and tender
bones. and his muscles and sinews are
easily stretched and torn. Bones are
not iron, and they easily crumble un-
der strain and pressure. and tendons
often pull loose from where they are
grown to young bones, and they can
not be grown back again. 1t takes a
colt Of almost iron legs even at two
years old to carry the lightest boy and
run fast as far as mile. Few race
horses ever pull through training with
good sound legs and feet.-New York

TAxPAYKRs of Burlington county must
keep In mind the fact that at the election
In November there will be submitted the
proposition to reduce the membership of
the Board of Freeholders. That there is
merit In the subject is clear from the fact
that other counties have adopted the
system. have had better government, have
saved money and would not return to the
old Board control Affairs in Burlington
county have long been conducted In a
manner not at all satisfactory to the tax
payers, and even some members of the
Board have tried to have things different,
but all efforts toward that end have
proven futile. Much has been said about
taking away township representation, but
that argument is nonsensical. Any one
who will take the trouble to attend q
meeting of the Board will soon see that
township representation" is practically
control by few who sway the others
about as they please. The time has come
for q change in this county and that time
is now. 1t must not be expected that
those now constituting the body that is
proposed to be reduced will calmly submit
to the proposition. The taxpayers and
those interested in economical govern
ment must act, although it may be said
that some of them will gladly welcome
the change. There are many things that
will be brought to attention, before cleo
ton day, to show that the present system
Of governing the county has outgrown Its
usefulness and that 1t will be much pre-
ferable to elect five men who will act In a
business-like manner and will not trade
and dicker for benefits for their own es-
pecial community, but will act for the
whole county.

There was a marvellous archery feat
performed some years ago by Sir
Ralph Payne Gallwey on the links at
LIE Touquet Shooting with Turkish
bow, he covered a distance Of 367
yards with his best arrow, thus break
ing all records achieved in recent
times. This performance. however,
seems to have been exceeded with the
old national weapon Of yew. Meade.
a famous archer under Charles l..
states that the ordinary range of the
bow was from 800 to 400 yards. The
longest shot automatically recorded in
England Is that of secretary Of the
Turkish embassy. who In 1874 shot an
arrow 463 yards with the wind and
Ais against 1t in the presence of
several members of the Royal Toxo-
philite society. who measured the dis
lance and preserved the arrow.-Pall

George AIDE, who wrote Father and

thing that if Mr.. AIDE were called upon to
give "a terse definition of Father" he
would unhesitatingly pronounce him

THE PRUDENTIAL ACTS QUICKLY FOR
PENNSYLVANIA FLOOD SUFFERERS.

The Prudential Insurance Company was
quick in its efforts to bring relief to those
policyholders and their families afflicted
by the big food of Austin, Pa. AS soon
as the first news was received by the Com
pany kilograms began to pass back and
forth between the Home Office at Newark
and the branch office at Jamestown, N. Y.
The Prudential had local agent at Austin
and the Company's Superintendent at
jamestown Immediately went to Austin
on the Sunday following the food and
they together with a Home Office in
spector began the search for the missing
or dead policyholders of the Company.
Special instructions were given by the
officers to pay policies found to be in force
without the customary doctors certificate,
if the identification was reasonably COM
plete. Arrangements were made to sup
ply the Superintendent with extra money
and as fast as the dead were found their
families were looked up and the claim
paid on the spot together with mortuary
dividend if the policy had been in force
long enough to earn dividend,
The Prudential had about five hundred
policies in force in Augtin, equal to about
one quarter of the population.

AT A Thomas Jefferson dinner in Phila,
delphia last Spring Governor Woodrow
Wilson. Of New Jersey, made speech In
which he declared he was born Demo
crat, was yet Democrat and could NOT
understand why any one should be q
Republican. As he Is now touring the
State In an effort to persuade Republicans
they should be Independents and vote for
Democratic candidates to help him build
up his presidential campaign. it may be
interesting to remind this historian of the
United States how 1t came to pass that q
majority Of the freemen Of the Union
became Republicans. Ia the year he was
born, few hundred patriotic freedom
loving citizens organized for the purpose
Of preventing the extension Of human
slavery into the free territories and its
becoming menace to free labor, and they
called the Organization the National
Republican party. The organization, at
fearful cost of life, due TO armed re-
bellion by the Governors friends at home
and throughout the South, won In the
battle, that resulted In the extinction of
slavery In the land. That Is one reason
why SO many citizens become Republicans.
There are other reasons, such as the
establishment of the American policy of
protection of home industry; the founda-
tion of a solid, substantial currency, and
other material and progressive policies
that gave the United States phenomenal
growth among the nations of the earth.
These are all facts in history which the
Governor ought to. be familiar with. and
If Of fair and impartial mind he cannot
but agree that these were good and COM
mendable reasons why intelligent and
patriotic men should be Republicans and
that their number should multiply. 1t is
probable that being nursed In Bourbon
democracy he imbibed somewhat of the
sectional prejudice of virus that has held
him insxhe Democratic party ever since.
1t is his right to remain there and to
appeal for Democratic support. but he has
40 claim whatever to the support of
upright Republicans who can do their
oHn thinking. Camden Courier.

SIGNATURES ON CHECKS.
The Palmer They Are the Less They
Appeal to Eoraers.


Appeal to Forsers.
you ought to sign your check diff
ferently. Mr.. Blank. said a Chicago
bank employee to depositor whose ac-
count runs well up toward 100000 a
year.
whats the matter with that
check?" asked the customer, nettled
that, as he thought, 1t should be init
mated he didn't know how to draw a
check.
you misunderstood me-" said the
teller. ''The checks all right / was
referring to your signature. 1t is just
the kind that forger takes delight
in copying. II you will allow me the
privilege of saying so, you're liable to
meet with loss In that way at any
time. Any good penman could initiate
it so cleverly you'd hardly know the
difference yourself.
1.-The palmer the signature the less
likelihood there is Of crook trying to
initiate it, he continued after the de-
positor had become interested. "In
nearly every big forgery Of which
ever heard. or in many of them at
least, the signature initiated was that
of man who wrote with flourish or
who had some peculiar type Of writing
that ordinarily would appeal to the
laity as hard to initiate. 1t Is fact
that it is rare occurrence for big
forger to attempt to initiate the sigma
ture Of the man who writes a plain
hand.
"Not long ago had occasion to tell
a friend Of mine he stood chance Of
having some forger get good sized
check in on him. My friend changed
the style Of his signature, and few
days later he was asked by bank to
inspect a check which had been pre-
scented for payment and to which his
old style signature was attached. He
had changed just In time. The forger
had been practicing on the old sigma
ture. getting 1t down pat and had not
ascertained that the new signature
was being used."-Chicago News.

EFFORTS being made to show that VIII
liam T. Stecher is not the man to elect
Sheriff of Burlington county are quickly
dispelled wherever that young man greets
the people. He is perfectly qualified to
fill the important Office and he will make
model official. The platform he occu-
pies is to conduct the Office for the benefit
of the people and to maintain the splendid
record of Sheriff Worrell. We have
known Mr.. Stecher for a long time and
we have never known anything to his dis
credit. He has always had strict regard
for his word, which, once pledged, was
never dishonored. There is no reason
whatever why any good citizen should
not vote for Mr.. Stecher.
