IA1@ when "a a boy and lived IN a farm thought haymak1ng
~ time the jonest Of the year," said he.
I'VE hadn't the big machines which now do nearly all the WORK
in the hay field. Our farm wasn't a very big one, and all the hay we needed
"Neghbors came and helped us to get tin the hay, and We children always
went out to the field and pretended to be very useful, for We kneW some o u $
would get rides to the barn o top of the big loads of hay.
I'VE liked to climb up to the top of a big haycock and slide down again,
and it "a such fun o throw the hay all over IN another. We had splendid
games OF hide seek, for we could bury ourselves III the hay, and then any
N who looked for us had trouble elm finding u.s..
after II game of this sort was pretty tired and, crawling up o n the
taest haycock, began burowing into it, hadn't dug very far when my hand
struck something hard. l drew 0 nut a big watch. 1t looked like silver, but |
thought IF course was Sol broken old thing which some n had thrown
away. When 1 held it to my ca found it did not tick.
81 called to my brother to com u p and see what l had found.
1--WE played with the watch for awhile, and then l stuck it into my pocket
and forgot all about it until went ito bed.
Mother felt something heavy in my jacket and took it out before she hung
up my clothes.
Where did you get that watch| she asked.
Brother and told her about it.
"Tt looks like a nice watch, said she 'In show it to father when he
comes in
"She did, and father looked it over carefully.
"Its a silver watch, said he. Very likely # the nGghbors who
have been helping with the hay lost it. r
cts strange said he, but m me will surely claim it. Father put an
advertisement tin the paper, but 1t brought no answer.
Father laid the watch away and said when was old enough l should wear
it. He thought some tramp must have lost it.
"We had about given up expecting to know how it had ever got there when
We found out. One Oft the neighbors had wanted to play a joke IN father and
had hidden the watch in the hay to see what he would do about it. When he
had fun enough he asked for the watch So never really got to wear it."

MIR. sTOKES's POSITION.

Former Governor Stokes has at
tempted a very hard job. Starting
out as a Progressive and as n OF
the original Roosevelt men in New
Jersey, he has by degrees allowed
himself to be brought about into the
regular fold and accepted the posi-
ton of vice chairman of the Republi-
can State Committee. At the same
time he has continued to insist that
a big mistake was made in renomin-
ating President Taft, practically ad-
hitting that defeat stares the party
In the face.
That the former governor realizes
his peculiar position is evident from
the fact that he finds It's necessary
to make a statement explaining his
duty in accepting the vice-chairman-
ship of the state committee. In this
statement he tries to impress upon
the Republican and ex-Republican
voters that they should forget their
grievances and unite against the
common enemy, the Democrats.
But if Mr.. Stokes for a moment
thinks that the great mass of Repub-
licans can forget the ~disgraceful steal
at the Chicago convention, in which
a mere handful of bosses thwarted
the will of a great majority of the
Republicans throughout the nation,
he is sadly mistaken. The governor
may stick to the Republican party if
he cares to and swallow the insults
that have been heaped upon the Re
publicans by the few who have come
to think that the party belongs tc
them, but he cannot for a moment
persuade the rank and file of his
party to accept his view. The Re-
publican party is passing out of ex.
istence and Mr.. Stokes has made
mistake in not joining the new move
ment that is to carry forward the
work so as to be in at the start.

for Rivers and Harbors In New York
and set before that body the desira-
bility of improving the water facili-
ties in this section. There is no
doubt that having thus started the
improvement much good will result.
The agitation which was so auspici-
ously begun at the hearing yesterday
should be followed up by the utmost
endeavor so that what good is al
ready accomplished will not be lost.
The deepening of the channel up
Raritan bay from Sandy Hook, and
the improvement of the Staten Island
sound through to New York means
much for this city as well as every
other town in this section. 1t will
also benefit the county at large and
the state, for it means additional in
dustries, the enlargement of those
already here and a corresponding adj
dition to the population, which, al
together, means more income for the
city and county from taxation.
Perth Amboy has a harbor that is
well worth looking after and it is
to be hoped that the city will, within
a very short time, have a harbor
commission composed of men who
are enthusiastic in waterways and
who WIFI devote all the time that
they have for public affairs to the
upbuild1ng Of our waterfront.

THE PRIMARIES.

There is nothing surprising about
the primaries held in this state yes
terday. The voting was very light
everywhere, particularly in the coun-
try districts, due largely to the
weather.
William Hughes had an easy vic
tory over James Smith, Jr,, and there
is reason to believe that the former
Essex boss has been permanently
eliminated as far as state politics are
concerned. Governor Wilson's popu-
larity with the people has again been
demonstrated.
In this city there was little inter-
est taken in the outcome, apparently.
The vote was extremely small. The
most gratifying result was the NOM
ination of the Civic Union candidates
for excise commissioners on the Re-
publican ticket. Unless the Pro-
gressive party puts a third ticket in
the field which will greatly improve
on the Civic Union nominees, it
ought not to be hard for the people
to decide whom to elect. 1t Is time
for a cleaning up in excise affairs In
this city and we need a board that
can be depended upon to do 1t. The
people are to have an opportunity to
vote for such a board, thanks to the
efforts of the few Republicans who
voted.
The defeat of Alderman Samuel
Hornsby in the first ward who was a
candidate for denomination shows
how the people feel In regard to ma
chine politics. William c. Wilson,
the nominee, Is a progressive and
his success means the downfall of
what Is left of the Haney machine.
The Hilker success in the third ward
is another victory for the progress
i've element.
Carrot B~rodhead's close call for
the nomination for mayor makes the
chances of Ferd Garretson the un-
contested Republican candidate, all
the brighter for the election in No
vember. Both are good men, how
ever, and the city has nothing to
fear no matter who is elected mayor
this year.
The battle for the election will
now open in earnest. 1t looks like
a Wilson victory in the state and
nation with the Progressives running
a good second. In the city, taking
the tickets as a whole, it would ap-
pear as If the Republicans have the
better chance.
