with a little ancient history in lion
annals that is quite entertaining as
we'll as instructive, in which he re-
cites his field doings since 1882, when
he arrived in this county. He said:
I"On December 2, 1898, killed five
mountain lions in Wild Horse basin,
and this record can be substantiated
by eye-witnesses. Up to date it is the
biggest single killing that is known in
the southwest and Drew claiming to
also have witnesses that only six shots
were fired to do the work. Ray Hill
did splendid execution in bringing
down three of these animals in sin
gle day, but my record remains at
the top notch just the same. From
the day / started to hunt the lion
until | quit the business few years
ago the verified records show the fol-
lowing: Drew total of 163 lions; E..
Meador, now deceased, 155; Mr.. Nc
Michael, 153"
Continuing he said. "The kitten
that was presented Captain O'Neill OF
the Rough Riders in this city on May
4, 1898, was one of the three captur-
ed by myself in the Camp Wood coun-
try, the other two being donated to
Mr.. Murphy for his zoo in West Pres
colt. In captivity they lived but a
short time. What became of the kit
ten owned by the Routh Riders was
never known, but that it was prob
ably stolen after the regiment reach
ed San Antonio, Tex, was believed.
It became as docile as a domestic
cat, and the boys were somewhat ex-
ercised over their mascot being lost,
strayed or stolen"
Drew is undoubtedly one of the
most successful hunters for the lion
or wolf that ever lived in this Sec
ton, which he attributes to studying
their nature in the wilds, and acting
accordingly when he takes the trail.
He is the center of the many hunters
now coming into the country to seek
advice and general information as to
the best methods to pursue to get the
generous bounty offering of the
stockmen's pool.

TUESDAY. JANUARY IA, 1913

WHILE Mercer county is being visited
with litigation over the rights of the old
and the new Board of Freeholders, Bur
lington county is going along peacefully
and the new Board has taken the reins of
government without the least opposi-
tion on those who have been In control
for years. In Mercer county there is
refusal to DELIVER keys and papers, locks
have been picked and doors broken open
In order that those elected by the people
to do their business may go ahead and
carry out the will Of the majority. If the
law under which the new system has been
~inaugurated should be proven unconstitu-
tional there is little doubt that those now
in power will obey the statutes and do
what is required of them. Until that
time however they will go ahead and do
their duty to the best of their ability and
In this they will be aided by every good
citizen.

$4,000 for Broken Back.

His back broken by a falling freight car
door at Palmyra on July % last. Michael
Egan. of Pensauken, was given a $4,000
verdict against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company by a jury In the Circuit Court
10 Camden. In the employ of Lester
Collins, Egan assisted in loading a freight
car with apples. The door stuck when
efforts were made to close 1t and the com
pany's agent sought Egan's aid. While
the agent was trying to pry the door loose
with a crow-bar, the door fell from its
fastenings and pinned Egan, who was
standing on the platform at the siding.
At Cooper Hospital, Camden, where
Egsn was a patient for many weeks, it
was found that two of the vertebra were
broken. He now wears a plaster jacket
and is unable to provide for the four
small, motherless children dependent upon
him. The company, which contends it
was not liable for the accident, gave
notice of appeal.

Strength Was Lacking.
After the decline of Rome the center
of the worlds military progress was
for seven or eight centuries transferred

prime had depended upon. There was
less loyalty to the central rule there
and far less liberty under it.
The decisive military fact of the east
was, however, that Byzantium had tc

cal superiority in its enemies. South
of it, from the Indies to the Atlantic,
was the Saracen empire, burning with
the zeal of a new religion. TO the east
were the Seljuk Turks, while to the
north were the Bulgarians and the
Slovenian and Hunic tribes.

AFTER getting their second wind and
sleeping over the matter the Board of
Freeholders took another view of the
question of appointing a county super
visor of roads and settled the matter by
consolidating the offices of engineer and
road supervisor, and appointing James
Logan to the position. Mr.. Logan
had served one year In the office
and there was a strenuous effort to Dust
him and put Earl Thomson in the place.
The fact that Thomson had been discredit-
ed and removed by the Board a year z
did not weigh very heavily with some and
the work done to get him reinstated was
vigorous and earnest. Emissaries were
sent to the various members with the
hope of securing support for Thomson.
Stories were circulated that Logan was
not competent aud one of those Tho put
those rumors out was the new Director,
Howard Russ. who seemed determined
that Thomson must go back. Howard
is a willy politician and it looks as if he
was going to play politics for all that 1t
- WIN Ia a SduA1dttOus Inc
sooner he gets 1t into his head that the
people want more work and less politics
and scheming for personal ends the better
It will be. But, fortunately, Mr.. Russ
was not able to muster more than his own
vote when it came tc business and Logan
was given the position. This consolidat-
ing of the two offices aud the selection of
Mr.. Logan are good moves. The young
man did good work last year and he is will
ing to let all of his plans be passed upon
by the highest authorities If there is the
least suspicion that he cannot do the work
properly. He did not have a fair show
last year because there were elements that
were determined to throw cold water on
all his work and to do all in their power
to keep him down. He will now have a
chance to make good aud he will do so for
he will have back of him those who will
aid. rather than deter him. The subject
that has taken up the attention of a great
many Burlington county citizens for
several months has been settled and the
Board Of F~reeholders has done what was
expected of them in the appointment of a
supervisor of roads.

HOY the Dainty Petals Are Turned
Into Fragrant Trinkets.

Into Fragrant Trinkets.
There could scarcely be a lovelier
gift than a string of tiny beads, an
amulet or a trinket to slip among your
kerchiefs and laces to keep them
sweet. made of roses and of the love
and taste and patience that must go
into the f%ashioning of such a gift.
The making of rose trinkets Is an
ancient custom revived, and rosaries
made hundreds of years ago are fra
grant today.
Gather the rose petals when the
dew is on them and screen them clear
Of every foreign substance. Put the
clean, dewy petals through a food
chopper-the finer they are ground the
better-and all the house will smell of
roses. Spread the pulp on a china
platter and set it In the sun for three
days, stirring In a few drops of spring
water now and again to keep it moist
When the pulp works in the sun
and reaches the consistency of a light
foamy dough that can be pressed
smooth without crumbling it is ready
to mold.
Before they are quite dry run a good
sized hatpin straight through the mid
die of the beads or amulets into a
board and set the board in the u for
ten days, and they will grow hard and
fragrant. Thread the beads on a
strand of silk, the amulets on fine rib
bon. and the older they grow the
sweeter they will smell. Christian

IT is A proud record for the railroads of
New Jersey that not a single passenger
was killed in this State during the past
year as the result of a collision or derail-
ment of trains. The record is unusual,
especially for q section where the con-
gestion of steam traffic is so marked, and
where so many millions of commuters are
transported annually. 1t is a tribute, not
only to the careful management of the
roads and their operating employees, but
also to the care exercised by the State in
requiring the installation of safety de.
vices. There has been a great change in
this latter particular In the past decade,
and the decrease In the number of acct
dents shows the warrant for the improve
ments. The next great step in advance
for safeguarding the operation of trains
ought to be the wiping out of the grade
crossing death traps. where the figures OF
injuries and fatalities continue to In
crease.-NeDdrk News.

holders. 1t being held that he cannot act
in the two Offices. The law under which
Burlington county elects an auditor pro.
vides that the official shall receive $500
per year and shall not receive any other
compensation or fees. 1t is doubtful,
however, If this proyiso affects the newly
created Office of ~bookkeeper. 1t was I'M
doubtedly intended to prevent the auditor
from coming forward frequently with
bills for extra services for work that was
entirely within the duties of his office.
He is required to keep books and accounts
that shall be open to the public. But the
new Board of Freeholders desires to have
other accounts kept whereby they may be
able to keep In closer touch with their
own affairs than they can under the man
ner of bookkeeping as conducted by the
auditor. The office they established does
not in any way conflict with that of the
auditor, and the idea they have In mind is
q good move. Mr.. Tilton is admirably
fitted for the position of bookkeeper, and
1t Is hard to discover anything In the law
that will prevent his accepting the posi-
ton.

ACCOMPANYING the report of the Public

Of gas In the upper part of the state, was
the statement that reductions might fol-
low In other places, but that there would
have to be complaints and review by the
Commission. The Public Service Corpor-
alton, however, has forestalled any such
action. and has announced that it will, on
the first of May. reduce the price of gas
to 80 cents per thousand in all parts of
the state. In the meantime the corpora
ton proposes to test, 10 the courts, the
method by which the Commission reached
It's decision, but the gas people say that
the opinion of the court will not affect
the determination to reduce the price of
gas. The new rate for the illuminant will
be received with thanks by the many GUS
toners, but there would be a more CRATE
full feeling If the quality of the gas was
improved. What we are getting now is
not worth much. aud there really would
not be any grumbling at a rate of 81 per
thousand If the quality were equal to the
price.

Mexico City. Oct. 10.-The failure of
General Trucy Aubert to get to the
city of Torreon in time 10 relieve it
a mission upon which he set out from
SaltiIIo nearly a month ago with a
large force of federal troops-is ex-
plained by the fact that the greater
part of his 1000 men deserted him be-
fore he had completed half of his jour-
ney.
He had reached Madero 25 miles east
of Torreon when news of the evacua-
ton Of the city reached him. AS soon
as the vanguard of the retreating fed
eral troops came into view. General
Aubert's men fed with all their arms
and ammunition. The report that Gen
eraI Aubert had gone over to the reb-
els was not substantiated. He is said
today to be Hipolito, so miles west Of
Salti1lo, whence he retreated with the
men who had evacuated Torreon under
Generals Ignaciox Bravo, Managua
and Escudero.
General Alvirez who started with
1 1000 men two siege guns and a number
OF pieces of light artillery to retake
the city of Durango from the rebels
and whose defeat caused the evacua-
tion of Torreon, fell into an arnbus-
---1z-@ a L-a ff,e41 -trfrtr=
nation that the rebels had left the
vicinity, he moved forward. Suddenly
he found both his advance and his re-
treat cut off in a canyon by heavy
forces of rebels, who poured in a sharp
fire from both sides of the pass. Cen
eral Alvfrez made a stout resistance
and managed to get WORD back to Tor
reon asking for reinforcements.
