are bachelors. and have next to no
call on our funds, and there is not q
day passes that we could not give a
young chap a start in business. or
make the shedding easier for few
days, but we never think Of doing Z
thing. We listen to q call for $40, and
hand out the threadbare plea of the
need of papering the basement or
putting a carpet in the attic, and then
IN sheer ennul we 60 to the opera and
have supper afterward, inviting .

OF course, man has a right to do
what he will with his money, and per-
haps II any one of US was rich he
would enjoy getting Sos worth of

would enjoy helping deserving man
out of hole to. the extent of SO. but
just looking at it abstractedly, it
would seem that the best fun a man
could have would be looking around
for people who needed help, and help
ing them.
Imagine being a millionaire and 60

Conservatives and finding out this fel-
low with talent and that girl with a

lions, not asking that they return the
money, but pledging them to pass the

nature. If a man does kindly thing,
the fellow benefited never rests until
he can 60 and do something for some

Handsome Knight Saved Her Life

: FL the Love Story. y: 4 i. + Il

Turning the corner of the Rue de
Msringue rather abruptly, Anna's
horse took fright at q woman's hat.
He reared up on his hind legs and
plunged violently forward. Just at
that instant the saddle girth broke
and the horse reared and fell back.
It was a critical moment. Anna was
in imminent peril. just as the rider
was about to be crushed under the
animal there was, clatter OF hoofs
and a strong arm encircled Anna. She
felt herself drawn into safety. She
opened her eyes and there was the
strong masculine face Of Lord Arthur
Athelstan, the handsomest man OF
the oldest family in England.
Being in the arms Of Lord Arthur
was much nicer than being crushed
under the cruel and relentless back
of a horse. To be saved by Lord Ar
thur was a social triumph, too. it
was better than being presented to
the king or invited to one OF Lady
Jane Nod Noodles affairs. Every
body would know who Anna McGon-
nigal was now. And when Lord Ar
thus asked If he might call it was
certain that Anna would know every
body! Everybody!
Lord Arthur was evidently very
hard hit. It was certain. The beau
tiful girl he had held in his arms had
made a great impression on his lordly
heart.
Sir Knight Arthur was not lag
gard in love and was most happy
when he obtained permission to call.
1t was Annals brother who greeted
him, however, when he arrived at
Annals residence, and told him to
make himself thoroughly at home.
"She will be very sorry to miss
you," said Annals brother. Il think
she's out sutfragettiag this after
noon."
Lord Arthur left his card and
walked sorrowfully away. The next
day being bright and beautiful. Lord
Arthur thought he might meet her
riding in the park. She had been SO
sorry to miss him that Lord Arthur
thought she might not OBJECT 10
casual meeting there. But luck was
against him. There was a meeting
for the Prevention OF Cruelty to
Something or Other that day. and
Lord Arthur rode and rode, and final
~ rode home In the beautiful twt
light alone
Then his regiment was ordered to
the Soudan. Lord Arthur made W
his mind to see her before he went
away, and wrote her a pathetic rote
of appeal, which Anna answered with
a beating heart, telling him to see hel
by all means! That she must see
him before he went away to the war!
But the letter got mixed up In the
voluminous mail of Anna, &nd Lore
Arthur received only a sote accept
ing the presidency Of a society FOL
the promotion OF universal peace

CONTRAST OF CANDIDATES.

We have an interesting contrast
between Theodore Roosevelt and
Woodrow Wilson, the two men who
are now looked upon as the progress
siye leaders of the Republican and
Democratic parties respectively.
When Col, G. b. NJ. Harvey, who is
closely identified with the Morgan
interests, asked Mr.. Wilson if his
support was injuring the governors
cause, MI. Wilson told Col, Harvey
frankly that It was and thus caused
Harvey to withdraw from the VII
son ranks. On the other hand we
have George w. Perkins, closely
connected with the Morgan inter
ests, who is not only openly support
Ing Roosevelt, but admits contrib
uting largely to his campaign funds.
Evidently Roosevelt is not so p%artic-
ular as to the men backing his can
didacy as is Governor Wilson.

RRIDGE Bill SIGNEn.

1t gives the EVENING NEWS a
great deal of pleasure to announc
today thai Governor Wilson has
signed the Amboy bridge bill which
provides that the state shall pay
one-third the cost of maintaining
the structure across the Raritau
river at this point, AS was told in
our last edition yesterday, the re-
port that the bill had been vetoed
was not we'll founded. Assembly
man Ten Brock, who has shown
much interest in the measure, wrote
70 Secretary of State Crater inquir-
ing as to how the bill stood. Mr.,
NSrater replied that the bill had not
Vet become a law. If the secretary
n state had said the bill was still
he governors hands there would
. ,e been no misunderstanding.
But, upon learning that the meas
ure had not become a law, Mr.. Ten
Brock, forgetting the fact that the
legislature finally adjourned, and
thinking that had the governor not
vetoed the bill 1t would have be-
come a law without his signature
as the time limit had expired, took
1t for granted tina the bill had been
vetoed and SO notified the local
{ss, giving the matter as final.
re Trenton correspondent of the
e ENING NEWS learned differently
yesterday, however, and we were
able to give the correct news to our
readers in yesterdays last edition.
Some have intimated that there
may be a political trick back of the
report, but we do not credit this.
Mr.. Ten Brock, We are convinced,
gave out his statement in good
faith, 1t was simply a mis-judg-
ment. But, of course, some have
made the most Of it to discredit
Governor Wilson among Middlesex
voters as much as possible.

NEWS has had in the governor was
