Everyone thought n "a old Bill Jones

He didn't have any nerve at all:
Hit or kick him-away he'd crawl.
He wouldn't fight or even swear.
And he got m~istreated everywhere.
Till once, one night, by the cemetery,
When TIE moon vas up n the hour
was scary,
And old Bill Jones was riding by,
Someoody gave an awful cry,
And old Blll Jones. with an answering
yell.
Went hiking down the road pell-mell.
He ran like a rabbit, scared and sick,
And his fears kept following fast and
quick.
Painting and frightened, old Bill ran
Right in the arms of a highwayman
Who was trying to carr an honest
wege
BY holding up the local stage.
Screaming with mad and fearful
fright.
Bill chung to the thug and held on
tight.
And the force of the impact quickly
told.
For down in the dust the robber
rolled.
And the driver got him-and saved
the gold.
Bill is a hero now. and say
He honestly acts hat way:
Nobody knows about that yell
Excepting me. and TIL never tell

THE FUTURE OF THE MEADOWS.

cN HE fact that the Newark Board of Trade has received ap-
IL plicatiOns from sixty outoftown manufacturers looking
for locations for their plants in Newark proves the value
of the industrial exposition given in the armory last winter.
1T also accentuatos the demand for the early development of
the meadows and bay front. The utter incapacitv of the Board
of Works to deal with that problem has now been SO well
demonstrated that a legislative bill to create a port district
and board of port commissioners will have all the necessary
support in the Newark community. Meadow development will
bring hundreds of industrial enterprises to Newark, for the site
is unsurpassed on the Atlantic coast. With municipal locks
and piers for a water terminal and with connecting railroads
the meadows will soon develop into a great industrial and com.
mercial city, enriching Newark TO an extent now undrednci of.
