THE MADONNA OF THE CHAIR.

There was once a great painter. who.
having drawn SO much from the re-
sources of mis- Imagination. concluded
to seek for some real object that
would furnish inspiration for n picture
of the Madonna OF the Chair IN
the tall mountains just above little
town in Northern Italy lived an ola
man. all alone In the bleak secluslon
Of the rough highland. The people Of
the village were kind TO the old man
and were sure 10 see that he wanted
nothing. They offered TO give him
home among them. but he said that
his old hut. with the help of MS
friends. could sustain him for the
brief remainder Of his lie.
Now in the old mans yard stood an
old oak. under which the brotherly
friends had spent many happy hour
Thus he lived through all the seasons,
but one winter there was a fearful
suowstorm that lasted for several days.
so that the people could not visit
their good old friend. When at last
the storm ceased they all gathered to
the old mans hut but he was no
where to be found. Then they heard
a voice from the top Of the oak tree
the old man was once again among his
friends.
BY the grace OF God have found
what I have sought" said the painter
as he drew with a pencil on a barrel
head the outline of a mother seated in
a chair. with a Christ-like child in her
arms. These were The Two Daugh-
ters" of the good old Inan-the chair
child of the oak that sheltered MIN
from a mountain storm, and the Ma
donna. the other daughter. who bore
him safely to Iife's Journeys end

JUST TO REMEMBER.

Just to remember the Sunshine,
Just to remember the rain.
Just TO remember the happy things,
Though they never come back aSair
Just to remember the little Joys
And acts, or a word, or smile:
Just to remember that God is good.
Brings happiness all of the while
It's easy enough to forget things,
The troubles and weary care.
If we're trying hard TO remember,
There's happiness everywhere.

A New Boat Reported

There have been rumors for severaI
son Joseph who runs the steamer Ulrica
between Penns Grove and Wilmington
would have another boat on the line next
year that would give better accommodate
tions than the Ulrica. The Ulrica is
getting old and drawing seven feet two
inches of water. She has been delayed
several times in landing at Penns Grove
wharf. During a low tide last fall the
wheel struck a stone and it cost $I25 to
get a new wheel, besides the delays and
loss to traffic.
A report has been published that Capt
Wilson and son are negotiating for
stern wheel ferry boat which will draw
less than the Ulrica; one which can be
landed at side or end.
More automobiles passed over the river
the past summer than during all previous
years and the automobile travel will con
tinue to grow, because Penns Grove is OH
the most direct route from the South to
the Jersey seashore resorts,
Traffic between Penns Grove and Will
mington is growing. Many 60 to Will
mington to buy instead OF going to Phila-
delphia. If more strangers come to Penns
Groye there should be a greater local
pride to make the Borough more attrac-
tive. Each one can do their part to boom
their W home town. Other towns do
it, why should Penns Grove citizens be
backward in blowing their own ho.n?

To the Taxpayers in OIdmans
Township.

About a week before Election | was
told by two men that a certain man, a
democrat, said | was between nine hun
dred and one thousand dollars behind in

ly. | wish to state it was a positive lie.
AT that time there was about seventy
dollars uncollected taxes, and sixty dol
lars OF it was for local railroad tax that is
paiu by the State and | did not receive it
until after the middle of December. On
January LIST, 1872, there was $5l7.00 un-
collected taxes. Ii you will look at the
Township report for January LIST, 1912.
you will see that l collected $5O7. 90 of it.
Six years ago, when | was first elected
collector and the books were turned over
to me there was $40. 90 uncollected taxes
for me to collect. At the settlement Jan
uary LIST, 1918, there was 1852 "a uncol-
lected taxes, only $1,000 more uncollected
than was turned over to me six years
ago. W. F. HUNT.
