Bob turned bis eyes away quickly
that he might not behold the disap-
pointment which he knew was writ
ten on Paul's face. For several min
utes they sat thus without speaking
while the storm outside howled In
fierce glee.
I'm sorry, Paul" Bob broke the
silence gently for him. II thought Of
you the first thing, but I think it bet
ter not. 1t would hurt more than 1t
could help you. The mayor of a big
city always goes out Of onlce with
more enemies than when he goes In.
There Is the crowd Of disappointed
Job hunters who are convinced that
they have been unfairly treated and
hate him forever afterward.
I'm planning several things" he
continued quietly, that will stir up a
big howl. 1t won't hurt me. I'm used
to it. I have no personal hold on the
people anyway. They yell for me now
because they think what I'm doing Is
to their advantage and because I'm on
top. But with you 1t Is different.
You're strong with them all oyer the
state, stronger than you know. You
can't afford to reduce that strength
for a mere mayoralty. You go on
building 1t up and your time will come
for something better. You've been
square with me-" he added awkward
ly, when you might have bettered
yourself by going over And 1 won't
forget it."
At this the nearest approach to af-
f~ectionate demonstration Bob had ever
made the cloud vanished from Rem
ington's face. Impulsively he held out
his hand.
Forgive me, old man." he said with
fine humility. you make me heartily
ashamed of myself. You are the prince
OF friends, and I'm an migrate. But I
ask one favor"
"All right What is itf"
Il must present your name to the
convention. 1t shall be the speech of
my career. Cad, what u chance! You
say you have no personal hold on the
people," He began to pace the floor,
his eyes shining brightly. II will
compel them to love you. They shall
learn to know you in your true, heroic
proportions. Not q man In that con-
vention will dare vote against you"
I'm the meantime I'll keep an eye
on the delegates. Come down to earth"

The Evening" Chit Chat
By RUTH CAMERON

CUPPOSE an engineer had a certain great weight to lift
= Suppose it took three hundred horsepower Of pressure to lift
- that weight.
And suppose that the engineer should apply fifty horsepower to it,
and then shut off his engine and then try again and again with fifty or
seyenty-fve or a hundred horsepower.
Wouldn't we think he was an extraordinary foolish man?
He has wasted his power, we would say and has accomplished moth
Inc. He would have done bater to ra AL his DoMer At u or not try to
Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-09-19

DO the thing at all.
And yet how many people act just like that engi-
neer?
I am thinking of a woman who lives with a very
trying elder sister.
The older woman is one Of those people who
make life miserable for all about them by harboring
a thousand whims and crotchets and cautions and
irritating little prejudices and businesses.
All these things fret the younger sister to the
verge Of insanity, and she lives in a continual state Of
nervous, inefficient protest.
She argues, she pleads, she scolds, she nags.
But neveF-and here you catch my simile-never
hard enough to do any good.
Her sisters obstinacy and self will is a weight
Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-09-19

And that the younger sister never exerts.
uaI petty warfare without one bit Of good being accomplished.
Now this is the way it seems to me, That the only thing to be
done in a case like this is for the sufferer to make up her mind that she
when she wants anything badly enough, will stand firm and get it, and
that when she doesn't want anything enough to e1ert that pressure she
will give up and give up pleasantly.
In other words, when the weight must be lifted, she will exert the
necessary amount Of power and lift 1t, and when 1t doesn't she won
waste her power.
In regard to the law OF obedience, Ebert Hubbard says:
Revolt is sometimes necessary, but the man who mixes revolt and
obedience is doomed to disappoint himself, and everybody with whom he
has dealings. To flavor work with protest is to fail utterly"
It seems to N g it's the SAL way with family life.
There are conditions in family life when revolt is absolutely neees
sary.
When you are sure these conditions exist, why revolt and do #
thoroughly.
But when you know that acquhscence is wtsest, why acquiesce and
do it cheerfuny.
But don't mix the two. ESQ.,
At least, not if you care anything for peace in your home. "a

STREET CLOSING
TAKEN To COURT
MOntclair Property-Owners Sc
cure Restraining Order from
ce-ChanceIIOr Emery.

The members Of the Montclair Town
Council do not believe that the tenn
porary restraining order served last
night on Town Attorney Robert NJ.
Boyd, forbidding the town to close Bay
street from Bloomfield avenue to the
right of way of the Lackawanna rail-
road, will be made permanent. The
order Is %returnable next Tuesday before
Viee-Chancellor Emery. The railroad
is laying a double track and found 1t
necessary to close the street.
There was much surprise at the Town
Council meeting last night when the
restraining order was served. The or
der was obtained by Mrs. Juppi Basala.
Benjamin Meyers, Louis Caruso and
Michael Caruso, who own property on
Bay street from Bloomfield avenue to
the right of way. 1t is said the COM
plainants were among those who signed
an agreement in the office of Mayor
Ernest c. Hinck to have the street
closed. As a result tho railroad paid
$4,000 for a strip twelve feet wide in
the rear of the houses to Bloomfield
avenue SO that the residents could
reach Bloomfield avenue.
The compliments are represented by
Frank NJ. McDermit and former Judge
Chauncey Beasley. Notices of the re-
straining order have also been served
on the contractor in charge of the
work and the chief engineer of the
railroad company.

joint committee, in presenting the re-
port, spoke of the services rendered by

ing an exhaustive study of the sub
Ject. Councilman Cotton also favored

their work was passed. together with
a resolution to carry out the recon-
mendations.
It was decided to have 500 copies of

East Orange several weeks ago, called
by Mayor Gregory.

Emil Bunder and Michael Tatun,
natives of Russia. who live In Myrtle

in the Bloomfield Police Court by Re-

Christmas Day, when they broke sew
eral panes of glass in the windows of
her house. She also claimed that they
had assaulted her husband.

to be an expert ACCORDION player, and
he persisted on the holiday named In
playing @Alexander's Rag-time Band .
Casey Jones' and "The Mysterious
Rag until he aroused the ire of his
fellow Russians, who thought he ought
to render airs of his native land.
A quarrel %ensued, which ended in the
smashing of the instrument into
smithereens. In addition to the fines,
they will have to pay for a new ac-
cordeon.
