REALLY OPENED THEIR EYES
Parisnioner's Remark, However. Left
Young Minister Somewhat In
In the Dark.

Rev. Henry r. Rose in the Newark
Star tells the story of young min.
lister who had recently taken charge
OF small parish in Vermont. He
aspired to greater things and large
field, and in the hope that his reputa-
ton would travel beyond the limits OF
the village to which he had been sent
he threw into his sermons all the
force and eloQuence at his command.
He was, however, totally unprepared
for what was intended for a compli-
ment, but which was put to him in
such way that 1t left him in doubt
as to the real impression he had made.
One Sunday morning, after an espe-
cially brilliant effort, he was greeted
by an old lady, who was one Of the
most faithful attendants at all serv'
ices. Approaching the young minister,
she said: "Ah, sir, we do enjoy your
sermons so much, they are so in
structive. Do you believe it, we never
knew what sin was until you came to
the parish"

GOT HIS soBRIQUET EARLY
"Honest John" Kelly Proved His Right
to the Title Long Before
Manhood.

There have been many stories about
the manner in which Honest John"
Kelly. the ex-umpire. first got his nick

to New York letter, holds that 1t
came to him naturally, for even as a
small boy the purity of his soul shone
through his face. II think the first
time was ever called Honest John
was when was quite a youngster,"
said Kelly. "A man engaged as an
ambulatory salesman of tinware OBJ
served the ingenious countenance
presented to the world and hailed me.
You look honest, boy" said he. What
might your name be?' John said l,
quite simply. John'-just like that.

was detained within by a sore thirst.

they came back and took the cush-

coming daring, they unhitched the
wagon and took 1t away. True to my

And by and by the peddler came out
of the saloon and sized up the situa-
ton. WE'LL said he warmly, you're

Young Ace Pensions.

Young-age pensions! Why not? IT,
ties, honors. riches, pensions and most
other good things are, as rule, post
poned to a period of life when the ca
pacity for enjoying them has been

first countries to adopt old-age pen
sions, and now Labor member of the
commonwealth parliament proposes a
complementary scheme Of young-age
pensions. He would start by pension
ing the fourth child at birth. The fact
that three had previously been born
showed that the parents were doing
their duty and deserving we'll Of the
state. The young-age pension would
reward industry and encourage the
birth rate. "-London Chronicle.

paratively little has been spent on the New Jersey side and in

Colonel William T. RosselL, United States engineer, made an in
spection of the Passaic river and bay yesterday and was enabled
to see the disadvantages under which Newark labors in its water
transportation. He beheld the bar extending for a half mile from
Point Nopoint into the bay, which is putting Newark wharves out
of commission. He saw the Central railroad bridge, one of the worst
Kind of distractions to navigation. Engineer Rossell also realized
the splendid opportunities of Newark as a seaport and the justice
of its claims upon the federal government. 1t has been the ira
ditional policy of the government to conserve the interests of river
navigation, but it has permitted the railroad companies to place
structures across our river and bay to injure navigation. Not only
on the Passaic, but on many other rivers of the country, have the
railroads pursued the deliberate plan of building bridges to obstruet
waterway transportation. The Central railroad has plans for a new
bridge, but the structure will be only less Objectionable than the
present one if erected.

The action of Chief Justice william
S. Gummere in ordering that the writ
of certiorari granted the Public Service
Railwa- Company should not act as a
stay to the sale of tickets at reduced
rates to school children was good,
sound judgment.
in less than a months time the
schools will close for the summer va
cation, giving the company and the
Public Utility Commission plenty of
time to thresh out the matter of school
children's fare M settle the question
before the opening Of the fall term.
In the meantime many parents who
can i'll afford the extra two-cent fare
to and from school for their children
will not be put to hardship through a
sudden increase in fares right at the
most important stage of the school
year, the examination and graduation
period. SCHOOL TEACHER

poLYDoRE QUESTION BOX.

Question: have read all your
articles on paln.istry, and have become
greatly interested in IL. I enclose h
prints OF my hands. Will you please
tell me what you think of them?
A. 2.
Answer-You have exceedingly ar
tistic hands. The short, smooth,
conic-tipped fingers show the impulsive.
intuitive, impressionable nature, which
is one of the heritages Of those 10
whom art is an inspiration. And the
deep, clear-cut single line on the
Mount OF Apollo adds It's confirmation
to this reading The small. pointed
thumbs. too, suggest one who is guided
more by sentiment than cold calcula
ton, and the long first phalanges of
the fingers show a keen delight In
mental matters. Poetry and music,
rather than business, appeal to a per
son who has this kind of hands.
Your heart line indicates constancy
and a tendency to idealize the object
of your affections.

long to that delightful little band Of
mortals who are ready to do good for
others. irrespective of any advantage
that may accrue to themselves. It j.
the people with haIlds like yours who
are apt to marry a person not at all
worthy of them in order to reform him
or her.
If you are a member of the gentle
sex and right-handed, l regret to say
that there is an indication of a cessa
ton of muscular vigor at about tic
fifty-sixth year. Judging from the
star on the Mercury line, at the inter-
section with the head line, the threat
cned trouble is due to some ailmeBt
peculiar to the sex.
There is no such indication in the left
hand, and the life line in that hand IS
much longer, and clearer md deeper
thar in the right hand. This would
tend to show that nature designed o
to have a good constitution, but that
you are or have been engaged in some
thing calculated to bring about dis
astrous results to your health. And the
pity of 1t is that, even When you know
the consequences, you are not likely
to change matters, partly because of
your brilliant iinpulsiveness and partly
because o do not seem to possess
strength of will enough to persist long
in any course that would require heroic
fortitude or resignation.
However, If you do make up your
mind to change the situation-and you
certainly have mentality enough and
to spare to do so-you are bound to be
mistress of your own destiny.
