the boy.
"Thank you,' said the grocer, and
put the eggs into paper bag.
"The boy received the bag with an

Oldest Metal.

A recent paper presented to tho

cussing the question Of the metals

pointed out that gold was probably
the frst metal known to man because
Il 10 generally found native. The old.

assign q probable date are thought to
bs those found In . royal tomb at
Nagada In Egypt supposed to have

Of nearly pure copper II the tomb

Rare Word.

The news dispatches told the other
day OF the death of an old man who
had known little Of fame in his ma.
tive city. the pleasures Of riches and
then the agonies Of poverty. As the
doctors told him he had only a short
time to live, he said:
TITS been tough, but think that on
the whole It's been interesting"
Death is everywhere. as 1t always
has been. But for most OF us It 10 hid.
den. No more. as 1t was once, Is
death the commonplace sight. the
thing to meet the eye on every side.
It is pleasanter for life that this IL 90.
yet. because Of the fact. there are
fewer philosophers in the world. fewer
persons conscious Of the inevitable
fewer still who. when their summons
comes. can be easy and cheerful and
die little mindful Of troubles and
wounds endured. and with q fair word
for the pleasures experienced.

Why Hs Had to Have an ONCE.

An inherited fortune and the dis.
posal OF an organized business enabled
a well.known Chicagoan to retire. He
had the inclination for leisure. but
could not surrender the idea of having
a definite business abiding spot.
He rented Gn Office in loft building
and went to Europe. After a Elk months
absence he returned, looked the build
Ing over and went to South America
Then, after again verifying the report
that the building was not crumbling.
he took q jaunt to japan.
Not long ago one of his old cronies
said:
Frank, why don't you give up your
office--you dent need It,"
That's true" said Frank. II would
give It up. but I don't know what to
DO with the rug"

While the great moneyed and in
dustrial combinations of the present
day, known as trusts" are quite med,
ern affairs, 1t Is true that the trust
idea Is almost as old as history. I'm.
der the Roman Empire, and even
away back among the peoples of
Egypt and the other eastern nations,
We find the germs, at least, of the
modern trust. The fundamental idea
at the bottom of the doctrine of the
present day trust is that OF the ex.
ploitation Of the many by the few, and
It was against such an idea that the
Gracchi died In Rome. In fact, all an
cient history is little more than the
story Of the few combining for power
and wealth against the many. and
that is all that the trust Of today
means.

MILFORD CHV MEETS
WITH NARROW ESCAPE

While at play around the factory
owned and operated by Daniel Hirsch
in South Milford last Monday evening
Jennie, the five year old child of Henry
Marvel, met with an accident which
but for the presence of mind of those who
were near at the time, might have re-
suited seriously. The child was climb
ing up a series of stairways which lead
over the moving track on which the
tomato buskets are placed to carry the
tomatoes to the scalders. In some
manner her clothing caught in rapidly
revolving shaft and drew her around it
several times. When the machinery
was stopped of the clothing on the
child had been torn to shreds. She was
bruised in several places. but fortunately
no bones were broken by her terrible
experience. Her mother cut her fingers
and hands in several places tr; ing to
disentangle the child's cloths from the
shaft.

TOMATO GLUT.

For the first time during this tomato
season there were evidences of a glut
on Tuesday morning last when at ten
O'Clock there were at least forty wagons
waiting along the streets leading to the
factory of Draper & Hirsch waiting to
be unloaded. During the present season
until Tuesday this cannery has been able
to handle the tomatoes almost as rapidly
as they have come in. 1t was thought
at first that the condition of handling
the tomatoes so quickly was due to the
several other new canneres around the
vicinity of the farming districts which
have begun operations for the first time
this season, but it is quite certain now
that the condition was due to the unsea-
sOnable weather which so affected the
crop that the farmers did not have them
to haul.

GYPSIES DRIVEN FROM The STATE.

The band of gypsies which for several
weeks past has been causing much
trouble for the state and local officers
throughout different sections of the
state met trouble when they arrived at
Dover on Tuesday last. The state au-
thorities after a consultation decided
that it was better THAI the gypises not
be allowed to proceed further down the
state and as a result the $500 license
fee which they had paid for the privilege
of travelling through this common
wealth was refunded and the tribe was
given a certain number of hours in
which to leave the state. This is the
best manner in which to treat such tribes
of rowing undesirables, and many of the
farmers throughout this section will
doubtless be glad to know that they
have been driven from the state.
