He never had to eat stale fruit out
of an old tin can.
He simply had to sit dead still. The
fruit foil from the trees
Whene'cr the garden was bestlrred by
any vagrant breeze,
Old Adam never had to dodge the

There was no bill collector there. his
Joy in life to mar.
He never had to listen to lot of ar

About the mon who wanted to become

He had no fear of microbes. for they
camped not on hts trail;
The law ne'er worried him u bit, be-
cause thcre was no Jail.
He owed no tailor's bin. because he
didn't dote on style.
The cost of living was Joke at which
he we'll could smile.
He worried not about the trusts nor
yet the power of wealth.
There never was single thing the
matter with his health.
He had no furnace fire TO stoke and
no hard coal to buy.
Tho climate In the garden was as
balmr as July
There was no squawking monographs
to interrupt his sleep.
There was no barber shop Quartets
to sing. Down in the Deep;
No canvasscrs for books dropped in to
occupy his time
Old Adam must have led a lifo that
simply was sublime.

OVER
BOND
Forfeited SIPS Goes to City,
Recorder Contends.

1t is claimed by two authorities
that the city has no rishf to the
$125 given as cash bonds for the apr
|pearance of James Edward Stubbert,
the alleged swindier and quack.
There are differences OF opinion "a
to who the forfeited bail should go
to. Recorder Henry w. Kehoe says
1t should go to the city. Former
Recorder and present Justice of the
Peace III. e. Pickersgill says the
money rightfully belongs to the
state, while City Attorney G. q.
Hommann, Stubbert's attorney, says
ne should receive the money.
Recorder Kehoe bases his claim
upon the fact that Stubbert Was to
appear before MIN in this city, and
as he failed in that resi- ect, he de-
clares, the money belongs to the
city which now holds 1t. Mr.. Picks
ersgili bases his contention IN his
experience In handling bonds, both
as recorder and q Justice OF the
peace. He says each blank bond pro-
ytdss for the state VS.. the defendant
and in furnishing bal, the giver ac-
knowiedges himself to b. indebted
to the state of New Jersey.

cd the money vi to the city and

WILSON MEN
ARE PLEASED
Two Political Events of Week
Are Significant.

IN - ~ fHV <7tN " - ~ RbF
Trenton, Mar. 1.-Two political
events happened last week that were
particularly pleasing to the leaders
of the Woodrow Wilson movement.
One was a canvass OF the entire state
by a North Jersey newspaper which
showed that every county will be
solid for the Governor at the nation
|al convention, excepting Essex,
where former Senator Smith and his
friends may succeed In electing some
delegates who will be opposed to
Governor Wilson for the Preslden-
cy. The other was the Nugent
luncheon at Camden Saturday after
noon, which while designed to put a
|damper on the Wilson boom and aid
that OF Champ Clark, did not injure.
the Wilson campaign, in the opinion.
of the South Jersey friends of VIII
The canvass OF the state was con-
Quoted through the various county
Echairmen, and in nineteen of the
counties the chairman
declared enthusiastically for the
as this candidate for Presi-
dent. In Atlantic county every
member of the county committee but
two ia for the Governor. In Essex
county the Chairman, Tyler Parmly,
declares that Wilson will not be a
factor In the election of delegates.
IT this be tho situation 1t will be due,
of course. to the opposition of for
Emer United States Senator Smith,
and James Nugent, his lieutenant.
Outside OF these two counties all the
county committees are solid for viii
son for the nomination.
New Jersey will be entitled to
|twenty-eight delegates In the Baiti-
more convention, provided the Re-
Ipublicans pass the new C~ongrassion-
al districting bill. OF these Essex
county will have the election of but
four, so that II the county ehairmen
has correctly outlined the situation,
Ft~wenty-four of the delegates, at
least, will be for Governor Wilson.
Although the Camden meeting
and luncheon was called by Nngent
to throw hot shot into the Wilson
camp and to secure the endorsement,
;if possible, OF some other candidate
for the Presidency, the sentiment
for Wilson appeared SO strong that
nobody was endorsed. The meeting
was held In the new Ridgeway Hotel
and was attended by about thirty
five Democrats from South Jersey.
In calling the gathering to order,
Mr.. Nugent said 1t had been called
to asce. tain the sentiment of the
South .Eersey vote on the Presiden-
tial situation.
Nugent referred to Governor Will
son as a demagogue and iauded
Champ Clark. Speeches along the
same line were made by former
Judge D. B. Peterson, OF Camden
and others. Lawyer Samuel Iredell,
Of Cumberland county, declared that
it would be distastrioHs to run any
for delegate in his county
who wa Supposed to Wilson. 1t was
shown that many of the Camden
are In favor of the nonl-
OF Governor Wilson.
One of the interesting features OF
the meeting Came when Nugent de-
that former Senator Smith
and himself carried Essex county
for the Democrats last fail on the
Gubernatorial ticket.
How many times have you two
aided the Republicans all over the
asked a Democrat. Nugent
made no reply.
