MUCH THINKING NOT NEEDED
Visiting Divine Rather Sorry That He
Had coaxed Boy to Make
EXCLAMATION.

A noted New York divine tells the
following story:
One day he shared with the chill
dren Of a certain Sunday school a
pathetic incident turning upon the
p1t1ful plea of a poor little girl for
aid and the dollar that he gave her.
Then he asked the children to guess
what was the first thing the little girl
bought.
Please. sir, a basket" piped up a
small boy.
Right! Right! Now there is a
boy who thinks" cried the pleased
speaker. Come up here to the plat
form, sonnie, and tell US why you
think she bought a basket. We want
all these other girls and boys to learn
to think, too.
The boy was unwilling to accept the
distinction pressed upon him, but
finally walked slowly to the platform
Nov, my dear boy" encouraged
the great visitor, tell us why you
think the little girl bought a basket
first"
Because" answered the lad. after
much coaxing and wriggling, 81 was
over in Hoboken last Sunday and
heard you tell the story there"

Brilliant Effects,

Jet and rhinestones combined are
brilliant in effect. One especially good
ornament shows good-sized rhine
stones arranged alternately with cut
jet beads of the same size. They are
set in a platinum band, in three tiers,
and the band is made to extend all
around the head. Where it fastens on
the left side there is a soft, fluffy
group of white feathers of almost
downy appearance and texture.

$50 MILES OF ROADS.
State Commissioner Stevens Presents
Annual Report-Asks $4,000 More.

State Commissioners Stevens Presents
Annual Report-Asks $500. 600 More.
Col. Edwin A. Stevens, State Road
Commissioner, probably the wealth
lest State officer in New Jersey, sub
mitted his annual report to Acting
Governor Leon R. Taylor.
Colonel Stevens is an eminent en-,
gineer whom Woodrow Wilson, as
Governor, selected as head of the
State Roads Department, and this
will be the commissioners last re-
port, unless Governor Fielder, when
he assumes Office, reappoints him.
Colonel Stevens found a huge prob
lem when he took charge of the road
office. The department had never
had an engineer at its head, and poll
tics was more or less rife.
According to the report the mileage
of roads built during the fiscal year
of 1918, which closed October 81, was
$3.50, 949, 40 per cent. more than built
in the previous year and almost
double that of the year before.
This record nearly equals that of
the banner years of 1902, when 154
miles, and 1908, when 1872 miles were
built, although those roads were of
inferior grade.
New Jersey has 1,835.023 miles of
improved roads. The cost for the ifs
cal year was 81, 8 ,141.66, of which
the State of New Jersey paid $751;
375.S8.
The report shows that s1,470, 035.99
was spent on the repair of roads from
county funds and the receipts from
automobile registration. Colonel Ste
vens asks an additional 100000 for
the year.
Convict Labor Question.
The commissioner deals with the
convict labor and motor vehicle traf-
fc problems. On the convict labor
question he says the road department
should be allowed to handle the men
and be responsible for their s~afe-keep-
ing.
The country road mileage of auto
mobiles outside of the city streets in
New Jersey, he says, is $4,000 miles
and the motor registration about
49,500 cars.
The increase in local registration,
he says, has made good the loss in
foreign registration, due to the reci-
procity act. He believes all road
using vehicles should be taxed. He
believes the present rates for automo-
bile licenses in New Jersey are en-
tirely too low.
Millions in Savings.
The immense scope of business of
the building and loan associations of
the State is shown in the annual re-
port made to-day by Banking and In
urance Commissioner George NJ. La.
Monte. He y there are 643 insti.
buttons, with total assets Of $118,953,.
658, and a total membership of 241,-
487, an increase of 12,405, 5S5 in
assets and 23,079 in membership over
the preceding year. The increase in
each case is more than 10 per cent.
Schoolgirls Shocking Tales.
Charged with shocking ~offenses
against school girls of tender years
Bernardo Verrenzo, his wife and
brother, Salvatore Berando, were held
in $1,000 bail each. The charges were
made by Mrs. Adele Vasta, a truant
officer for the local schools, who got
the horrible tales from little ones re
siding in the neighborhood of a candy
store conducted by the family.

Divine Sympathy.

Human sympathy is of the faintest
kind, compared with Gods sympathy.
Perhaps you have never thought that
he is sorry for you in your weakness,

trouble. But he is sorry for all of us.
And yet not sorry in the sense that
will prevent him from doing the best
thing for us. God loves US enough

in khe history of modern Egypt has
died near Khartoum in the person of
Iebehr Pasha, whose name figured so
eonspieuously in connection with Gem
eral Gordon's mission in the Soudan.
He was the man who probably could
have saved Gordon. The general asked
for him to be sent to Khartoum. but he
had been slave dealer and the gov
ernment would not employ him and
Gordon perished. According to his en-
emies, he was the vilest and most
magnificent of slave dealers which the
last century produced" Incautiously
he allowed himself to be entrapped
into visit to Egypt and there was
made a prisoner and deprived of his
property. English interest in Zebehr
begins with Gordons mission in 1884.
Gordon wrote TO Zebehr in these terms !:
"On one great criminal had not yet
fallen the punishment due to his bound
less wickedness. Zebehr Pasha had
been king among the slave traders of
the world. His 5trongholds had been
pushed far into the heart of Africa
and over hundreds of miles of fertile
lands whose fruits had once -flourished
teeming and a happy population he
had spread desola1ion and sorrow" But
when Gordon reached khartoum on his
last mission he realized the enormous
Influence that Zebehr could exercise in
Soudan. and he requested that Zebehr
might be sent to him. Mr.. Gladstone
refused TO employ an agent of such
a character. Before even Gordon's mis-
sion the Egyptian gov ernment, with the
approval of Sir Evelyn Barring (now
Lord Cromer) had proposed to employ
Zebehr to pacify the Soudanese. In
March. 1884, Gordon telegraphed: 'it
liz impossible to get Cairo employees out
of Khartoum unless the government
rIra-
ernment' refused Gordon's request and
the consequence was an uprising of the
tribe round Khartoum, the isolation of
the city and Gordons death.
