TOWN.
M HELPS
MIGHT SERVE AS A MODEL
Beautiful Rural Home, Properly Laic
Out and Kept Up, Nearly APP
preached the Ideal.

A short time ago the writer rode
past a rural home that certainly
should satisfy any earthly being for a
place of residence.
A hundred feet highway frontage
had been reserved in the middle OF an
orchard of 20 acres about square. The
house stood about one hundred feet
back, the whole plat was inclosed by
a heat wire-mesh fence covered win
roses and various climbers. A Few
clumps of shrubs were arranged Just
inside the gateway along front and
side fence and about b foundations
of the house. Very few trees were IN
the foreground and these few we're
kept out of the lawn center, but on
either side of the house yet not close
to the building were f1anked quite a
number, thinly planted in front but
more thickly about rear of house SO
one could not look beyond a point OPP
posite the real corner of the house. In
the front was a blue grass lawn, fair
ly we'll kept and occasionally moved,
though quite long at the time OF oDser'
walton. The lawn did not look as
though 1t had been "barbered" for a
month nor as though it proved a prob
lem to keep'it up except with great
labor. Two or three vines lightly
draped the house, a few flowers were
to be seen in all parts and in some
spots a bright mass spoke of Towering
ANIMALS or perennials. All was neat
and clean yet did not look as though
raked and swept every day or even
every week. The whole place harmon
lied with the spirit Of nature anG
rurality, where every prospect pleases
and not even man is vile. The home
and all surrounding looked so uth
cient, SO s~atifying, SO rural, without a
suggestion of the artificialty found in
cities or suburban districts, that it
called wildly to mind the happy pas
toral scenes of old suggested by Gold
smiths couplet:
"a time there was, ere England'f
griefs began,
When every rood of ground main
tanned it's a n
1t costs but little to so arrange the
nome grounds, its upkeep calls for but
little of time or money, yet such homes
are the country's strongest asset
speaking volumes for the prosperity
and happiness of the rural residents.

Garden Spirit.

IF you want to have beautiful
roses in your garden, you must have
beautiful roses in your hearts," con
cluded a speaker in some memoria
remarks on the late Dean Hole. who
had achieved an international repu
tation as a lover and promoter d
roses. The remark touches on thu
true secret OF in gardens;
there must be a very deep, real and
penetrating affection for plants or thu
fullest Gee will not be obtained
with them. And this affection mus

true garden spirit lies in the heart
and the inward beauty is nourishes
and enlarged by the nature beaut,

Oil a Dirt Catcher,

Oil on a motor is a most prolific
dirt catcher, and dirt has nc place
about the automobile. If it hangs in
masses outside it is apt to get in
side of the slightest opportunity, as in
fitting a new spark plug. Besides, it
does not look well. Occasionally a
driver will find one side of
the motor dripping with oil,
mysteriously appearing from no
where, and especially plentiful after
a hard run. The oil prob
ably has been splashed up through the
crankcase breather. If the case has
not been filled too full of oil a brass
tube carrying three battle plates should
be fitted inside the breather. This
will stop the splashing out.

in Bats right arm. 1t went away
in minute. The left thumb, re-
membered on the Hvers of Jimmy
Britt, Joe Cans, Young Corbett and
other celebrities, was again pulled
into its proper socket, and many
other livers are spending hours in
worrying at the news. The right
hand, with bones loosened in its
back, was hauled and twisted and
vised into a proper hand again,
and Nelson now declares it is
strong enough to break a plank.
Nelson was enthusiastic at his
treatment, and made arrangements
to present Reese with a handsome
souvenir of the visit. The Bone

Nelson is in magnificent physi-
cal condition, with the vitality and
energy of a man of 81" said Reese.
His physique is the most perfect
ly proportioned of any man of his
weight l have ever examined. His
internal organs show the effects of
his years of self-denial and care
full living There is absolutely no
reason to prevent him keeping on
boxing for the next ten years"
Nelson will return to the ring
inside of three weeks. His first
battle will be in Cincinnati, and for
the next few days he will go over
other offers with his manager in
mapping out the new campaign.
Already no less than eighteen
fights are at Nelson's command,
proving that the Great Dane still is
the most popular of all pugilists.

wF Wilbur Robinson should go
into business for himself dur
ing the baseball season in
s+aad of drawing salary from the
Nsy York club, a shingle bearing
raa above information would tell
ariehy what the veteran catcher
had to offer in exchange for his
fees.
And if the old trainer, coach, in
s-ructor or whatever yor may
choose to name him wished to add
few testimonials he might get
tho renowned Rube Marquard,
sou+hpaw extraordinary, and Ozark
left Tesreau to say something in
his behalf. But it would hardly
ba necessary for Robinson to back
rn his statements with samples of
bfs handiwork. All over the cir
.rft he is known as the shrewdest,
,,.isast as well as the most efficient,
doveIoper of young pitchers in the
circuit.
His success in bringing Rube
rarouard prominently before the
r,unIic is of too recent date to bear
ranetition this early. Be 1t sufti-
cian+ merely to recall the incident.
YES. Manager McGraw aided, no
doubt. but it was Robinson who
coached the erratic southpaw,
taught him how to conserve his
strength, gain control and in
general way use his ability on the
mound to the best advantage. He
did il. unless his recent escapades
in the theatrical world have blot
ted il from his memory.
Robbie Developed Tesreau.
Right on top of that Uncle Will
bur took charge of 20O-odd pounds
Of raw pitching material and, aft
er a few months of diligent mod
cling and molding, presented fan
dom with the budding phenom la
beled Big Jeff, the Ozark bear
hunter. Big Jeff was not tossed
into the pit as a finished article.
There are still few rough spots,
but the polish is rapidly being ap-
piled or will be when the dande-
lions begin to sprout.
Probably one of the busiest little
bird dogs in the Marlin camp, not
even excepting Manager McGraw,

Manager McGraw will take
large consignment of young pitch
ers to the spring camp for Robbie
to put over the jumps and select,
if Dame Fortune is hanging around
willing to fiirt,. another budding
southpaw phenom or spitball
HEAVIER of the Marquard- Tesreau
types. This doesn't happen every
spring. Only once in a great while.
However, there is no dearth Of
promising material on hand this
season.
Demaree Showed Promise.
Of those likely to stick there is
Al Demaree, who earned his spurs
at the Polo grounds last fall when
ne Ioomed up quite promising. Then
there are Theodore Goulait, for
merly of Indianapolis; Larue Kirby
and Lou Bader, all of whom had
trials last fall and impressed the
fans during the brief opportunity.
Regarding Robertson, another re-
cruit, McGraw is undecided wheth-
er he will let him pitch or play the

KNOWS WHAT is WHAT.

The one best bet for freebooter
in the field so far is Judson L. Field
of Lambertville. Mr.. Field is one
of that fourishing city's most pros
porous citizens, being in the ice
business there and selling real ice.
The confidence of his fellow-citizens
is shown in the fact of his being
the city treasurer, and also the
custodian of the school funds. These
are the kind of men we want to
serve the county,"
The above is from the Clinton
Democrat. Of course the nice
things said about Mr.. Field will
meet with general appreciation, but
even Mr.. Field will forgive The
Record for expressing its confidence
in Editor Carpenters bump of
knowledge, when he classes Lam
bertville as fiourishing city. He
thus endears himself to the hearts
of all real Lambertvillians 1--WE have
a hickory club ready for anybody
who dares to make a joke of this)
who have the interests of their city
at stake, and any time Clinton gets
too quiet and morose, Brother
Carpenter will be welcomed into
Lambertville's midst with open arms.

STATIONS ON THE BEL-DEL.
No, dear reader, the Dorothy
Dix for whom Dix Haven
(the Asylum station is named is
not the one who tells you in Willie
Randolph HOSTS "Choinal' how to
keep your wife loving when you
grow bald and equity, or how to win
the girl who says she would rather
die than marry you. It's another
Dorothy, entirely.
1t is to be hoped that the Pennsyl-
vania Company will not feel inclined
to carry the joke any further on the
Belvidere Delaware Railroad, or we
will soon find Moore's called
Screechy Barefacts, Stockton
Bixola Squeally Smith," and even
the most daring mind hesitates at
what might be given as a name for
our local station.
Let the railroad officials stop
right now, unless they are prepared
to prove beyond question that the
names commemorate people other
than those now in the limelight.

THE GREAT AND THE NEAR" GREAT.

THE GREAT AND THE NEAR" GREAT.
In these days of SO many things,
from near" beer to near" operas,
and even occasionally, near" religion
it seems but fitting that there should
be both great and near great
people. In the days of our fore
fathers things were things or not at
all, and as a consequence George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln
and Ulysses S. Grant were really
great men, without any question of
their distance from the title.
In later days, Grover Cleveland
and William Mckinley were really
great men, in public life, and there
are millions of great men who never
become known for their greatness.
William H. Taft may or may not
be of the really great, as time for
reflection only will tell.
But it was only a few short years
ago when the illustrious Theodore

Roosevelt was exchanging the
courtesies of the road with motor
man, who while running his trolley
car as it should be run, happened
to parallel the Colonel's path. The
motorman, happening to be the more
reasonable of the two, yielded the
point.
Just few days ago, while our
own Woodrow was busy trying to
save the State of New Jersey from
it's own people, another motorman
CHANGED to parallel the course of
his automobile. While the secret
service men, who accompanied the
President, were busy making faces
and threatening the motorman with
arrest and Imprisonment, the
latter's greater mind yielded the
point, and thus we are able to dis
tinguish between those who are
really great and those who think
they are.
