AN AasoR DAY POEM.

Boost!
Don't knock.
Don't get used
To talk
As though in doubt
About
The future of you State.
It's great!
Don't sit down, 81,
And frown,
And shout about some other state,
or town; .i
Nobody likes the knocker,
The progress blocker,
The chronic trouble talker,
Who just sits back and growls,
And scowls,
And works his hungry jowls,
And bowls
At the men e.
Who, when
There's something to be done,
Dig in,
Like sin,
With a boost for everyone.
Gee Whit
What q shame it is,
That In a land like this
Where the Heavens stoop to kiss
The labor of mans hand,
Some crank will stand
And carp and kick,
And harp, and critisize,
And shirk the work
That makes of earth a Paradise.
It's fine
To be In line!
To show that you're Of stock divine
1t pays
Always.
SO don't knock!
Boost, that's the talk!
Just come down from the roost
and boost! boost!! boost!!!

DO IT NOW!

We note with pleasure the activi,
ty of the city commissioners in clean.
ing up the various back alleys and
places of refuse throughout the bust
ress part of the city, and undoubted-
ly they will extend the good work
to cover the residence portion of the
city as well.
The first duty of city admins
tration is to protect the health OF
its citizens, and no factor that consti-
tutes to this end should be neglect
cd. -.
In this connection suggestion may
not be out OF order and we make bold
TO offer it. The matter of corrals and
barnyards should not be overlooked!
Great piles of barnyard refuse are
yet to be seen in many of the back
yards of the city; These should pc
hauled away. out to the farms where
IL may be of service. And this should
be done at once before the hot
weather is mere.
Barnyard mounds offer the very
best environment for the breeding
of flies and as every intelligent per-
son now knows the common house
fly is the great carrier of the typhoid
germ. Hence the importance of re
moving all debris before the larvae
appear,
II the property owners OF the city
will cooperate with the administra-
ton in this matter in the same splen-
did manner in which they are ac-
customed to assist in the annual
"clean-up-day", the general sanitary
conditions of the city will be greatly
improved.

Several of her recent sketches hang on the walls of the family's summer home at Sea Girt. N. J. Friends have often advised her to exhibit some of these, but she has continually declined to do so.

and the directing of the regular Re- publican forces in the big contest this summer and fall.
 The general who organized the Will son forces and led them to victory at Baltimore is a young man to have made so great a name for himself as po- litical tactician. He is only thirtysix years old and he had never taken an active part in national politics before the beginning of the Wilson boom. though he has always been a stanch Democrat. He is the new national chairman.
 MT. McCombs was born in the little town of Hamburg, Ashley county, Ark. on Dec. 26. 1875 He received his early schooling in his native place, later pre- pairing for Princeton university at the famous Webb school in Tennessee.
 Young McCombs was graduated from
 Princeton in 1898. receiving his degree
 cum laude." Following this he at
 tended the Harvard law school, from
 which he was graduated in 1901 and
 was then admitted to the New York bar
 When he began the practice of law in New York he had no influential friends or acquaintances. His was the same kind of uphill fight he encounter
 ed in Wilson's campaign for the presi- dential nomination. McCombs began
 at the bottom, taking the position of clerk with a large law firm. Presently
 number of New York bankers came along with s2O,Oo0,O00 to back the New York Westchester and Boston Rail- way company. His firm turned over
 the legal aspects of the proposition to young McCombs, who handled it so well that he won the concentrations of several prominent lawyers. After that he branched out for himself. op- ening an office of his own. His friends say that he has been unusually suc- cessful in his practice.
 In 1904 MT. McCombs ran for the as- sembly in a Republican stronghold. While he was defeated, the Democratic candidate lowered the G. O. P. major | ity and forged ahead of his ticket That was about the extent of Me Combs dabbling in politics up to this year.
 McCombs has been a close friend of | Governor Wilson ever since he sat un- | der the former head of Princeton when | the governor was a professor. So Will son turned to his former student to | take charge of the job of disseminat- ing information and campaign litera- ture at the beginning of the presiden- | tia1 boom, when requests for Wilson
 speeches commenced to pour in from
 all parts of the country. Gradually McCombs took over the entire man. agement of the battle He conducted
 the campaign in practically every state
 from his New York law office at 96
 Broadway. The preconvention strug-
 gle witnessed his appearance in Balti-
 more. where he remained through the
 convention. receiving, by the way. eighteen votes from Arkansas for the vice presidency as a compliment from delegates from his native state who | admired his handling of the Wilson campaign. ARTHUR J. BRINTON.

N you SportSmen who pat your
 " selves on the backs when you
 have landed a fine specimen of
 ~ trout or game bass or salmon are by no means in the same class as the fishermen who have succeeded in catching the tarpon or the tuna
 There are hundreds of fish which show fight when they are unceremoni- ously pulled out of their watery homes. but none can exert the same degree of fascination for the enthusiastic angler as the spirited tarpon.
 Silver king" and grand ecaille are other appellatiOns given to this mon ster. He is clad in regal armor of sil- yer, his scales being the size of silver dollars and is possessed of the fighting spirit of the vikings. He is found along the Atlantic coast at certain seasons, anywhere from Virginia to Brazil He loves the warm water of the gulf of Mexico in the spring and fall, but re- tires to more tropical haunts when cold weather signs appear. Where he breeds is not known-probably in the warm rivers of Guiana. Venezuela and Central America and among the nu- merous islands of the Antilles.
 Perhaps the best catches of tarpon
  especially on the southern and gulf sides of the peninsula. There the tar pon attracts hundreds of American and foreign anglers.
 From the moment the blue back and glistenins scales have left the waters in a record breaking leap above the white caps, while the tarpon shakes his head in a frenzy to relieve himself of the torturing hook, until he has been finally drawn to the side of the boat to accept his coup de grace from gaff or revolver. it is a sport that has made him famous as a fighter.
 The mouth of the tarpon is lined with bony plates, like his sides, and unless hooked at once through the lip he is only vulnerable in the throat. Immediately he feels the point of the hook his savage nature is aroused, and the "silver king" at once begins the combat without further challenge. A vicious shake of the line is the next in- dication given the man in the boat that the struggle is under way Then ex- ceeding care and watchfulness are necessary if he would land the game.
 Leaps runs and dives follow in rapid succession for from half an hour to two hours. according to the size and vigor of the fish. Tarpon often leap from eight to twelve feet out of the water and from twenty to thirty feet in distance, shaking the head to rid themselves of the hook and running out from thirty to fifty yards of line at a run. None but those who know from experience can realize the strength and fighting qualities of this superb fish.
 Comparab ble to the tarpon in size and fighting qualities is the tuna of the Southern California coast and else where. In all probability the leaping tuna is the most graceful jumper of

A German governess gave them instruction in French and Ger man, and today all three young women are very proficient in both languages. They fitted for college at a private school in Princeton, which was pre- sided over by sister of Dean Fine of the university.
 Miss Margaret the Musician.
 Miss Margaret entered the Woman's college at Baltimore in the class of 1907. At the completion of her sopho- more year she discovered that she had a soprano voice of great possibilities, and. acting under advisement. she left college for musical training. She stud jed music in Baltimore and then re- turned to Princeton and later went to New York.

the sea. It Is a species of the mack erel family and Is found in almost all the seas of the warmer and temperate parts of Europe, Asia, Africa and America. Large schools of them enter the Mediterranean through the strait of Gibraltar in May and June and de- posit their spawn in places along the coasts of Europe and Africa. The tuna fishery is one of the most important in the Mediterranean. The fish some times attains the weight of 1000 pounds. the smaller specimens being about 150 pounds. After being caught on the line it will often tow a small boat around for hours.

 Miss Eleanor Wilson, known as Nell in the family circle and among her in timate friends. inherited her mothers artistic ability and has already made quite a reputation for herself by her productions. She is not college grad uate, having gained her education in a private school at Princeton and in St. Mary's school at Raleigh, N. c. Much of her artistic training was received at the Academy of Fine Arts in Philadel- phia.
 Miss Eleanor got her name in the papers last winter through being in the midst of exciting scenes in Mexi- co when the revolution was just get ting under headway. She and a school chum went to visit a friend in Chihua- hua and were stalled there when the rebels cut off all telegraphic and rail road communication. All sorts of ru- mors were flying about concerning her

at the rod and fought seven hours longer, the tuna dragging them dis tance over a circuitous course of about forty miles before it was landed.
 Its strength and endurance, combined with its leaping powers make it one of the most remarkable of fish, AS leaper it exceeds the tarpon. Its best leaps are made when attempting tc seize a flying fish in the air. when the huge monster springs upward like beam of light, clears the water directly beneath the prey, misses and leaps into the air to the height of ten or fifteen feet above the surface. It then turns gracefully and falls headlong into the sea with the swiftness of a meteor

F N at least one respect the house. holds of two of the three leading B presidential candidates, those of
 Woodrow Wilson and William H Taft, are similar-that is in their fondness for music. Even before Mrs. Taft began to preside over the White House and incidentally over the mag nifcent gilded piano which Is exhibited to visitors her love of music was known in Washington, Cincinnati and elsewhere. She was one of the leaders in musical circles in Cincinnati.
 Now the Democrats have named for the presidency a man whose eldest daughter Is also a musician of skill. Of course the Roosevelt household, be- ing cultured and refined, knows good music but no one member of it is fla nous for exceptional proficiency in the art which has charms to soothe the savage breast"
 The home lives of MT. Taft and MT. Roosevelt have been described many times before this campaign. So, with no intention of wounding any readers political susceptibilities. we'll treat first and mainly of that of Woodrow Wilson, Democratic nominee, which has been less written up.'

 He had been at the head of the Ohio institution scarcely two years when the city of New York commenced to seek among the heads of the institu- tions of the country for man to head it's juvenile asylum, founded a half century before by Peter Cooper and others. And after sitting all of the available men in the country the board of directors chose Hilles So he left Ohio and went to the metropolis. That was in 1902.
 From this post Hilles was called, in

 There are not many members of the families of Governor and Mrs Wilson. The governor has one brother living. Joseph R. Wilson, city editor of the Nashville Banner, and one sister, Mrs. George Howe of Raleigh, N. c. Mrs. Wilson also has one brother and one sister living. the former. Professor Stockton Axson, professor of English at Princeton, and the latter, Mrs. Ed ward Elliott, wife of the professor of jurisprudence and political economy of the same university.
 Roosevelt the Only Granddad
 In the matter of number of children President Roosevelt has the advan- tage of his two leading opponents. The Roosevelt children are six in number, while MT. Wilson and MT. Taft have three apiece. The Roosevelt children are Alice (daughter of MT. Roosevelt by his first wife and now wife of Rep resentative Nicholas Longworth), Theodore, Jr.; Kermit, Ethel, Archie and Quentin. MT. Taft has a son Rob- ert a daughter Helen and a younger son Charles.
 The ex-president is the only one of | the trio who has attained the right to practice 'the art of being a grandfa- | ther." Last year the wife of his eldest son, Theodore junior, gave birth to a daughter. "Delighted!" said MT. l Roosevelt
