Once upon q time q man who lived
out Bloomfield way did IN unusual
service for q fairy queen. I don't ~
member exactly what 1t was: perhaps
he stepped into drift to let her pasaI

- Name what you desire most In

The man who lived out Bloomfield
way thought a moment He ought
have lived out South Orange way or
down Elizabeth way or over Arlington
way. but It happened that he dwelt out
Bloomfield way. and as this II q true
story. must tell IL exactly 40 X was.
He thought a moment. and then he
thought another moment. making two
moments all told, after which he said:
Il wish people would quit eating
peanuts In the street cars. II gives
the cars such a vegetable air, and
besides. 1t is very harmful. for, a. you
know. people should have cheerful sur.
roundings at meals
On hearing, this request the fairy
queen vanished in a fash of fame
with deafening report. and the next
time the man got aboard q car to 20
to his home out Bloomfield way, the
passengers were still eating peanuts
and the car had a breath.
