Daddy Bedtime
o. The Little Snake
OlO1y- That Lives Under
The Stones

r IKE most girls, Evelyn was afraid OF snakes. -
"She thinks they'll bite her" laughed Jack. -
II don't believe any # the snakes around here will hurth er6
daddy. 1--WE never seen anything more deadly than a garter snaEAvI
this neighborhood. n
Mr.. Garter Snake isn't such a bad fellow If you know him well. Out "
der the pile of stones where the chpmunk family has had a home for sever
years lives a garter snake. "
"He is SC tame that when the u shines on his front door he sometimes
see what is going o n in b. garden. -
"When he is hungry he goes gliding off through the grass to look fol food.
"Garter snakes aref fond of field mice, young frogs and toads In the YES
they Eat the young gophers and ground squirrels and aret therefore very useful
to the farmer whose crops these little animals hurt. Insects are also their
food.
1.-THE house had been overrunw with mice all winter, and as W e had o cat
that year they CAV mother a good deal of trouble
when that garter snake began to be seen about the garden those mice
suddenly went away. We could never De sure whether they changed their
home or whether they wen down MI Garter Snakes throat. Mother thought
maybe the snake ate some of them, and she would never allow IS children to
bother him.
1.-THE next year, however, there we're o many Of the snakes that we had to
do something to get rid of them. You see, a mother snake sometimes raises
from twenty-five to forty young onesn 8 season.
II thIHx the worst. thing that is said against the garter snake is that he
sometimes eats the eggs and the young mes from the nests o. those birds that
build near the ground. Many small animals who are more popular than Mr..
Snake are said to do the same thing.
In the water the garter snake al swim about quite Is well al his cousin,
Mr.. Water Snake, who eats fishes. Garter snakes when chased by black
snakes, who will make a meal of them If they get a chance often take to the
where the black snakes can't follow them. Hawks and owls also eat
the snakes.
when cold weather comes the snake finds a warm hole where it rolls up,
sometimes smuggling tnoa coil with other snakes, and all go to sleep until
spring comes back again"

BETTER MAIL FACILITIES.

The community Is indebted to the
Atlantic Terra Gotta Company for
the establishment of direct mail be-
tween this city and Tottenville. 1t
has been little short of ridiculous
that in order to send a letter from
this city across the sound, 1t would
first have to go to New York city
proper and then back across Staten
Island, taking over a day in the
transit.
Perth Amboy and T@ottenville have
been closely connected In everything
but mail service for years. In all
such matters, however, the govern
ment moves slowly and in spite of
numerous attempts the much desir-
ed direct communication between
the two places has been denied us.
1t is due to the persistent effort of
the Atlantic Terra Gotta Company
that success was finally achieved.
While it must be admitted that this
concern will receive the greatest
benefits from the new service, yet it
will be a United States mail in
a,,1r.. 20 tho uvnr] nn1 oil 1nt-
tiers in either Tottenville or Perth
Amboy post office at the time the
mail departs will be sent across the
sound direct, twice daily,
It is possible that If some persist
emit agitation should be carried on,
similar to the efforts Of the terra
Gotta concern, in regard to a direct
mail route between Perth Amboy
and New Brunswick, this also might
be established. With Perth Amboy
growing, 1t is highly necessary that
we have direct communication with
the county seat. 1t now takes from
twelve to twenty-four hours to get
mail between the two places, gen
orally the latter, and In the case OF
important papers which it Is desir-
ed to pass between the two cities,
such as legal documents, in order
to make a prompt delivery 1t Is ne
cessary to send a private messenger.
With trolley cars running at fire.

There is no better way to serve
the rosy currant than rolling In sugar
and we'll chilled; but as n likes va
riety, here is a very nice
Ripe Currant PIs.-Bake q shell OF
pastry and fill with the following: A
cup of crushed c%urrants, a cup OF su-
gar, two eggs, two t~ablespoonfuls OF
water and one OF -four. Beat the yolks
OF the eggs with -four and water, mix
with the fruit, sugar, and stew until
smooth. Bake In the pastry shell n
cover with 4 meringue made OF the
whites of tho eggs and two table
spoonfuls Of sugar; brown n serve
either hot or cold.
Raspberry WhIp.-Mash a cup n
a half Of raspberries; add a cup OF
pulverized sugar, a pinch OF salt and
the white Of an egg and beat all TO-
gether thirty minutes. Serve heaped
on a platter surrounded with whipped
cream. Serve with macaroons.
Raspberry and Currant Frapps.-
Boil a quart Of water and a cup and
a third Of sugar for thirty minutes;
add one and q third cups OF currant
Juice, two-thirds Of a cup of raspberry
Juice; freeze.
saIpTcon Of FruIt.-shred a pineap-
pie; add a banana OF two cut fine, an
orange sliced and grape fruit; mix
with a cup OF sugar and a tablespoon
full of water boiled until it hairs; add
a tablespoonful of lemon juice, and
when cool pour over the fruit. Serve
chilled in tall glasses garn1shed with
a Maraschino cherry.
Currants dipped in white OF egg and
rolled In graduated sugar are pretty
served for first course. The curranrs
should be large ones and left on tho
stems.

IDEAS COME FROM ABROAD
Imported Models Of BTouses Arc Ex-
tremeIy Pretty and Well Worth
tho Copying.

Linen and sheer lingerie materials
are combined In some Of the imported
models OF blouses. Fine linen, batiste
or marquisette may be used for long,
semi-transparent sleeve and guimpe,
with an everybody and skirt Of linen.
or the sheer stuff may form a chemi-
settle, collar frills, cuff frills and per-
haps some panel or glimpse Of petit
coat in the skirt. A full length panel
OF finely cross-tucked linen WAS used
with a tucked collar and tucked cuffs
on one pink linen, and another In a
deeper tone Of rose had a narrow, full
length front panel with a tiny box
plat in the middle and little plaits or
tucks on each side. Down the inch.
wide box plat were set small pearl
buttons, which were sewsd on with
black silk. and a smart little cravat
bow fastening the finely embroidered
lingerie collar was OF black.
The grille or flet mesh linen Is
much used in combination with plain
linen, and there are soft, heavy, loose
woven cottons which have ilet weave
to match. These cottons are decked
with white in pepper and salt fashion,
and are very good looking In the cool
grays and tans, though It seems posi-
bic that the loose woven stu1 might
stretch and pull out Of shape. Some
very likable frocks and suits are made
up In gray linen, Of which there are
many lovely shades this season. and
these are best relieved by lingerie Of
the yellowiah, antique tone, though
frills and collars, ETC., Of pure white
sheer stuff are pretty with the gray.

NO LONGER REPUBLICANS.

Those who still cling to the idea
that in following Roosevelt into
the new Progressive party they are
still Republicans working for the
publication of the old party organi-
cation, ought to be dls-illusioned by
the news that comes from Michigan,
and by what Is going on at Asbury
Park today.
1t was at Jackson, Michigan,
where the Republican party was
born and where the old Whig party,
that was dominated by the privll-
eyed classes of that day, died. SO
1t was at Jackson, Michigan, that
the new National Progressive party
was born, on Saturday last, and, as
those forming the new party believe,
the death knell of the now boss
ridden Republican party was sound
ed.
The Progressive state convention
of Michigan nominated an entire
national and state ticket, chose
members to a Progressive National
committee and adopted a platform
which started with condemning the
action at the Chicago convention
This same thing is being gone
through with at Asbury Park today

PRINCIPAL WHO WON APPEAL TO
THE SUPREME COURT HAS NOT
ABANDONED POSITION.

A. L. Schafer, who was successful in
his appeal to the supreme court fol-
lowing an adverse decision rendered by
Judge X. E. Leighton several weeks
ago, has returned to Velva and will
assume his duties as principal of the
Velva school within a few days.
Mr.. Schafer it will be remembered,
was elected by the former board of ed
ucation at Velva last spring. Follow
ing the annual school election at which
two new members were chosen, Mr..
Schafer's election was declared invalid
and the board elected 0. j. Lokken,
who was formerly superintendent. The
boards action was based on the con-
tention that contract entered into be-
tween a school board and a teacher
was void if the teacher did not hold a
certificate or permit qualifying him to
teach in this state. Mr.. Schafer
brought action against the board in the
Ward county district court and lost out
He appealed to the supreme court and
won, the court holding that under the
school laws Of this state as revised and
re-enacted in chapter 266, laws of 1911,
contract otherwise duly entered into
between a school board and a teacher
is not void or voidable because at the
date of such contract the teacher did
not hold a certificate or permit quail
flying him to teach. The opinion in
the case was written by Judge c. j..
Fisk.
Much interest centered in the out

tracts held by the teachers in the pub
