D~A~ A~.
Tho Turtle Talking
to tho Swan.

r ACK and Evelyn had been wondering if the and the duck were
related.
Daddy said they were.
81 "In a uet shady stream a duck and a wan once made their homes
How they happened to o there doesn't matter, nut they were lot very
good friends" daddy explained.
"You see each had hoped to have the stream and all it held to himself,
and he did not like to share those nice, juicy waterbugs and tadpoes with
another
"The waterbugs and WORMS and tadpoes and fish were OF a mind in wish
ing both the wan and the duck away.
"How to get them away was something that none of them wa able to
decide. It wa horrible to have Mr.. Swan suddenly dart his long neck down
to the bottom of the lake in the midst of a tadpoe party Or a waterbury tea.
And Mr. Swan did have an awful appetite.
THE young frogs had 20 peace after the swan came to live there, and, at
last things grew SO bad that the frogs and fish and waterbugs and others said.
they would just have to move If the duck and var didn't
"That wouldn't be a bad idea the turtle agreed, but it's troublesome L
move, and there may be easier ways
"Mr Turtle met first the duck, then the swan with a very pleasant good
morning.
"Did you know that we are all talking of movngT Mr. Turtle remarked
after a little chat
mo, they had not heard, and they looked taken aback when told IT.
"Yes, there is a nice, quiet pond in the south where all the watrbugs
and wormsa and frogs and tadpoes may live happily. The MAJ with the u
will soon be around here and SO will the man with the fishing rod. We think
it best to get out of their way. And now. my friend the turtle whispered.
please don't say anything about it to any n else
"Of course Mr.. Duck and Mr.. Swan promised to keep this a secret and
they did from n another, but the very next morning you might have seen
each of them spreading his wings and hurrymg south. Neither If them likes
the man with the gun, and it would be of D. uset tt stay around there If there
was nothing for them to eat
"And, Of course, e were thinking of moving Mr.. Turtle explained after

RAGE FOR MASCOT JEWELRY
Even the Interpretations Are Not
Above Wearing a Pretty Luck
Charm Of Some Kind.

She who has money to afford nov
elites should go In for mascot jewelry.
Never has it been more fascinating.
Even II you are not superstitious you
are not above a luck charm Of some
sort.
A safety pin brooch. with a stone in
the center, has attached to it by a
thin, short chain a lucky tortoise in
gold or enamel. The mascot can be
further enhanced by using ones birth
stone.
Another mascot Is a charm In the
sign OF the zodiac for you birth
month. These come In gold or silver
or may be studded with your birth
stone.
A motor bracelet Of gold or silver
wire car have attached to it various
ivory, a luck penny, a tiny rabbits
foot and horseshoe, and a minute blue
bird for happiness as well as safety.
Sometimes these lucky pieces are
worn around the neck on a fine gold
chain, or they form an interesting
pendant for the watch fob.
Great favorites are the lucky pig
and lucky bear charm, while a novelty
for the cat lover Is a small bowl OF
| gold and crystal, with two small gold
fish in it and a watchful cat on one
side.
A fascinating loave charm which
comes in circular or h%eart-shape has
or 1t a plus and minus sign with
Aujourdhui above the former and
Qu-Hier beneath 1t, while beneath the
minus sign is Que Domain, which
translated Q that the donors

and they are simply waiting for the
present regime to be over, You
know that the constitution Of New
Jersey makes 1t easy for them mere
ly to wait,
"You can't re-elect a nan COVER
nor IN New Jersey, The constitution
confines him to one term Of three
| years, and these gentlemen have all
along said all they had to do vas to
sit tight for three years and then
come back. And what they have been
saying to you, what l know they
have been saying to you, IS: This
man is all right, but he can't stay at

While neither party has complet-
ed it's slate, and although it is an
nounced that no official endorse
ments will be made before the pri-
maries, yet enough has been shown
to prove the timeliness of Governor
Wilson's warning. Men who profess
the greatest friendliness toward the
governor now, and who perhaps are
sincere in their desire to have him
elected president, knowing that such
election will get him out Of the capt.
toll at Trenton all the sooner, are
standing for office as Wilson men,
while 1t Is well known that they are
the worst type of reactionaries and,
at heart, are bitterly hostile to ev-
erything for which Governor Wilson
stands. They are plotting to ride
into office on the popularity Of the
governors own presidential candi-
dacy. The governor pleaded with
his hearers to start in revolt before
the plans took shape and make 1t
impossible to carry them out. This
pleading should not be in vain.

can be secured by the city. The price
Is reasonable under the law, 1t will

rights. The matter is now fresh in

example;

and almonds with = teaspoonful each
OF almond and vanilla extract. One
can buy tho plain cream all frozen in
many places 20 reasonably, and it can
be repacked with any additions Of fruit
or nuts. making tho work very light.
The flavor Of peach Is given by put

and q teaspoonful OF lemon Juice to-
plain ice cream
A delicious favor OF almonds is CIV
en- to Ice cream In this manner: Blanch
and chop a cup OF almonds, carmelize
four tablespoonfuls Of sugar and add
tho almonds. When cold grind to a
powder, add to the cream with a tea
spoonful OF almond extract.
The. most delicious Of creams Is
made by adding two oups of squeezed
and strained raspberries to the cream.
The color is enhanced by the addition
Of a teaspoon of lemon Juice.
A pretty and easy way to make
fancy dessert is raspberry bonnie!
Line a melon mold with raspberry ice

THOSE RIPARIAN RIGHTS.

1t Is to be hoped the Board Of AL
dermen will not allow too much
time to pass before taking definite
action toward securing the riparian
rights at the street ends running to
the water. They must remember
they are elected to serve the city,
and no matter how friendly they may
feel toward a ferry company or any
other corporation, and no matter
how advantageous the public service
this Is proposed may be, the inter
ests Of the people come first.
All who have given the subject
any consideration will declare with
out hesitation that the city should
control the ends Of every street. The
people are beginning to realize the
true value OF our waterfront and
they are determined that not a foot
that the city now owns shall get
away from them. The aldermen
have a great duty to perform in this
particular and now Is the time to
perform 1t.
Let the city get the riparian rights
for the end of every street and then
it Is time enough to take the mat
ter Of leases up with corporations.
That the city has the right to make
such leases is established by good
authority. The riparian commits
sioners themselves assured Acting
Mayor Garretson that the city could
make any disposition it wanted to Of
the grants. The city attorney, as
we understand it, declares that the
street ends can be let for any public
use, and as there would be no ex-
use for a ferry company If 1t were
not to serve the public, a grant for
such a purpose comes within this
meaning.
There is no doubt that the major
ity of people in the city favor the
new ferry. So does the EVENING
NEWS, and we believe in giving the
company every courtesy and encour-
agement possible. But 1t Is unfair
to take advantage of such a friendly
feeling to delay indefinitely such an
important matter. IA price has been

THE GOVERNORS WARNING.
same way

Governor Wilson, in his speech at
Sea Girt Saturday, sounded a warn
ing that should be needed. 1t vas
the governor of New Jersey talking
exclusively to Jerseymen about New
Jersey. 1t was one of the best ad-
dresses of bis public career and dis
pels any doubt that may have en-
tered the minds Of some since the
governors nomination for the presi-
dency, as to whether or not he still
possesses those fighting qualities
which have endeared him to the peo-
pie of this state and established his
reputation throughout the nation.
It was the qualities that be dis
played at Sea Girt Saturday that
made him the great leader of his
party In this state and 1t Is these
qualities that will, we believe, make
him a great national leader, not only
Of his party, but of the great mass Of
plain people who, in New Jersey,
have come to look upon him as their
champion, regardless of political at
fliations.
Governor Wilson's warning has a
meaning right here in Middlesex
county. Every voter should consider
we'll these words of his:
"Plans are being intelligently laid
| to restore the old order Of things, !
am telling you that, of my own Of
fetal information, plans are being
laid to put the old men In the saddle
again, and restore the old order Of
| politics In New Jersey. Are you go
ing to consent9 Are you willing that
| the doors of the government should
be shut against you again, and that
you shouldn't have even a share in
the voice that is to determine what
your own government Is going to dof
Do you not know the men who engi-
neered these old processes of deceit,
and are you going to permit any one
of them to besmirch again the fair
name of New Jersey?
"They have made professions
which they have not fulfilled; they
have seen the light OF the new day
and have shut their ayes to 1t; they
have said that they have acQuieseed,

A VETO.

President Taft has been blamed
for a great many things and certain
ly has made some bungling mis-
takes, but in his veto of the So
called legislative bill he showed
good judgment and deserves credit.
One of the worst features of this
measure as passed by both houses of
congress was the limiting of civil
service employees to seven years in
office, then all those who wished to
remain in the government employ
would have to be examined all over
again If they desired to continue to
hold their positions. Such a blow at
civil service has not been made since
it was first established by President
Cleveland. And, strange as it may
seem, 1t was made by the Democrats
In the House.
A civil service examination is to
prove a mans fitness for Office. Once
having proven that fitness there is
absolutely no warrant for forcing
him to prove it over and over again
every seven years. AS well might a
| college declare hat every graduate
! must take his final examinations ev-
cry seven years to maintain his de-
gree. We all know that there is
hardly a man who has been out of
college seven years that could go
back and pass his examinations, IN
less he has followed teaching as a
| career. So with a civil service en-
| ploye. He could not pass the ex-
aminations again without special
preparations, yet the fact that he
once proved his fitness and had been
i IN office seven year makes him all
the more valuable as an emplOye.
This is evident to everyone.
1t is generally considered that
the session of Congress Immediately
| preceding a presidential campaign is
devoted to making campaign materi-
al. There has been a great deal of
this is the present Congress, but the
| Democrats are certainly making a
sorry spectacle Of themselves. With
their blow at the civil service, their
refusal to keep the navy up to stand
ard, their scramble at the pork
barrel and so on, they are seeming
ly doing their best to prove to the
country their unftness to run the
government. Were it not for the
high regard the people have of the
Democratic presidential candidate
the party would doubtless go down
to ignominious defeat.
President Taft has done the
country a great service in exercis-
Ing his veto as he has. There are
still more measures coming to him
that he would do we'll to treat the
same way.
