absolutely nothing to hold Reed for.
The young fellow Immediately report

1t is quite likely that Mrs ReedfWill

RED MEN HAVE
AN OYSTER SUPPER

Last night members of Ahwahneeta
Tribe of Red Men No. 1877, had jolly
time at the rooms of the organization
on Broad street. There were a large
number present, and the occasion was
greatly enjoyed. The supper was
along the line of oyster week, bivalves
being the principle part of the menu.
The supper was excellently prepared,
and everybody enjoyed the meal.
There were some clever speeches.
Bridgeton pioneer., 1913-10-23

City Council met last evening with
all of the members present excepting
: Mr.. Whipple, who was called out of
the city.
President Elmer D. Mulford was in
the chair, and after disposing of COM
1 missioners' reports, the greater part
, of the evening was taken up with
Questions relating to sewer and street
work.
| Henry Ryon, Commissioner of Pub
lie Works presented his usual COM
plete report, and covered the sewer
, question fully, his report will be pub
lihed later
George H. Hughes, Commissioner of
Public Safety, also presented a COM
/ plete report in relation to the police
/ and fire departments. The new DO
lice schedule has gone into effect, and
! by this arrangement an officer is al
ways on duty at City Hall subject to
call. In the fire department they
have had but three calls in the past
two months, most unusual record.
Commissioner Hughes recommended
an amendment to Ordinance No. 1859
relating to 'nuisances, and particular
ly directed at the throwing of circu-,
lars, ETC., In yards and doorways.
The recommendation provides for
Jail penalty in order to enforce the
fine provision of the ordinance, and
| such amendment will be made.
F. L. Fralinger, Commissioner of
Streets and Highways, has been d.
rected to stop work on the streets.
| the appropriation for that purpose
! being nearly exhausted. The Com
| missioner in a very lengthy report,
| reviewed the situation and suggested
the work which should still be done
on the streets this season.
The expression of council in regard
to this matter was that the commits
sioner should stop work at once, only
allowing for the completion of the
cement gutter work now in hand, and
retaining enough money in the appro-
priation for the actual emergency
work that will arise.
J The usual practice of gathering up
the leaves at this season will be
changed, and the cutters given a final
cleanup after the leaves are all down.
The members individually have re-
ceived many applications for street
and gutter improvement, and it is to
be regretted that the work cannot be
carried on. However, in regard to the
overdrawing of appropriation they are
firmly of one accord, and that is not
to allow more to be spent than has
actually been provided for this pur-
pose.
The Secretary of the Board of Edu-
cation and the School Superintendent
acting under instructions from the
Board of Education, and tn response
to resolution requesting certain in
formation relating to the schools,
asked for by city council, presented
a most complete report. The tabula-
tion shows all expenditures and all
receipts from every source, for the
years 90l to 1913 inclusive, the seat
ing capacity of the schools, and the
attendance at each school for each
year.
Council will meet next Tuesday eve
ming in an informal conference, and
take up the statement in detail.
A resolution was adopted directing
the Corporation Counsel to make
| tender of $50 to Archer Platt and
John ]. Nolan, for permission to cross
| their property with the Lake street
trunk line sewer, and if refused, to
enter condemnation proceedings to
acquire the right.

been so much talked Of for the past

LESSON FROM THE PROFESSOR
Old Gentleman Was Perfectly Con-
WINGED That the Youngster Was
Competent to Give II.

The old gentleman wondered where
the young couple had got to. for it
was getting late. He rather suspect
ed they had wandered out into the
garden, so he wendell his steps in
that direction. He soon came across
the young people, and found them in
most interesting attitude. The
young man had the fair girl clasped
in both his arms, and was kissing her
as If he hadn't tasted such dainty
for at least five minutes.
The old gentleman watched the
osculatory performance to the finish
which he found to be somewhat weary
work-and then made his presence
known.
Isn't 1t very late for you young
people to be out?" he said.
1T isis rather, pa" faltered the
fair girl; "but-but Mr.. Popple has
been giv-giving me a lesson in as
astronomy"
my stars" calculated the old gen.
tleman. HE has. and no mistake!
myself saw him teaching you how the
Great Bear hugs"
Then the young couple looked so
foolish that the old gentleman shut
his eyes out Of sheer compassion.

Poets Memory Lives.

The saying Christmas comes but
once a year" Is attributed to Thomas
Tusser, a medieval poet (1524-1580.
who seems to have been strong on
epigrams. The same idea may have
occurred to others, but Tusser gave
1t expression. He was classed as an
agricultural poet, partly because he
had not much education and partly
because he treated simple themes,
which he understood in "a plain and
simple way. Tussor had an ear for
music, and served to order as Choir.
lister in some churches of his day.
His first publication was entitled "A
Hundred Good Points of Husband.
rie," and later he published "A Hun
dred Good Points of Husbandrie Late
ly Married Unto Hundred Good
Points Of Housewifery," and still later
this was amplified into Five Hun
dred Good Points of Husbandry Unit
ed to as Many of Good Housewifery,
Reprints of these books are still ex-
tant with an autobiography of the au-
thor in verse, Southey, himself a
critical poet, characterized Tusser as
"a good, honest. homely, useful old
rhymster." Some of Tusser's phrases
have passed into proverbs.

Lincoln and the HumorIsts.

During some Of Lincolns daily Wis
its to the war department there were
many spare moments while he waited
for fresh news from the front or for
the translation OF cipher messages,
and when he did not fill up the other
wise idle time by telling stories he
would read aloud some humorous ar
ticle from newspaper, as. for in
stance. Orpheus e. Kerr's droll re-
ports from Mackerelville. or Petrole-
UNI v. Nasby's letters In sarcastic
vein; at other times Artemus Wards
inimitable lectures. Some OF Nasby's
letters were irresistibly funny. espe-
cially those relating to the continuous
struggle for the postoffice at "Confed-
nit Cross Roads" and to the backward
ness OF some of our generals. relates

ALWAYS NEAR CAPITAL
Lincoln Never Had Complete Rest
During Civil War.
Unpretentious House, Cottage In
the Soldiers Home Grounds,
Where He Spent the Hot
Months, Still Is Object
of Reverent Interest.

While our recent national chief ex-
ecutivss have fed from Washington
and its summer heat and moved to
cool summer capitals, as, for instance,
Buzzards Bay, Oyster Bay and Bev-
erly, Lincoln in his day was forced
ever to remain on guard in the ma
tons capital the year through.
During his four troublous years In
Washington he took no vacation and
his summer residence was within
easy ride of the seat Of government
The Anderson cottage, in the SOL
diers home grounds. was his summer
home, and it was here, guarded by
q company of cavalry, that he lived
while handling the reins of govern
ment through the Civil war. He rode
to the White House every day and re-
turned at night, the hour more often
than not being late.
His simplicity of taste was such
that he would gladly have ridden
without escort, but the secretary of
war, the trenchant Stanton. insisted
on the cavalry escort, for the presi-
dents safety.
Lincoln said he did not want It;
he couldn't hear himself think" with
the soldiers Gathering along beside,
before and behind him. But with his
usual complaisance in what he deem
ed non-essentials, he yielded. Some
times he rode horseback, accompa-
MED by the escort. At times he was
called on to make sudden journey
from his cottage to the White House
One such call was on the receipt of
news Of the reverse at Chickamauga.
Lincoln mounted his horse and rode

The only time. however, that Lincoln

ordered week before to 20 on to the
relief of Rosecrans at Chattanooga,
who was In great danger of an attack
from Bragg. On that day Burnside
telegraphed from Jonesboro. further
away from Rosecrans than he was
when he received the order TO hurry
toward him. When Burnside's telegram
was placed in Lincoln's hands he said
"D-n Jonesboro." He then tele-
graphed Burnside as follows:

Visitors to Washington today look
