Richard P. Hughes, seeking other
worlds to conquer, is said to be after

evidently too small a space for Richard to
devote his particular line of talent to.

As counsel for those who wished to be
restored to office as members OF the old
board of freeholders former Judge Gaskill
gave ground for the belief that he favored
the old organization. As counsel for the
members who, Through ignorance"
acknowledged irregular transactions, the
Judge said in open court that he was in
favor of the small Boards of Freeholders.
Possibly the Supreme Court heard of this
declaration when it decided that the old
Board had best hold off awhile.
A new member of the Camden county
Board of Taxation was appointed by
Governor Fielder last week but before he
qualified the remaining two members asked
for the resignation of the secretary who had
served for seven years, and he handed 1t
In. This was in accordance with the de-
cision of the court that the secretaries of
such boards are not protected by civil SER
vice. The Burlington county Board of
Taxation was strongly importuned to
take similar action, but Joseph Kaighn,
who has served so acceptably since the
organization of the Board, has been as
sured that he will not be disturbed.
One of the most earnest workers In the
Democratic party is BILLY" Devereaux,

In the esteem of the Democratic party but
there are many Republicans In the state
who think well of him, Notwithstanding
his political affiliations. "Billy" was the
secretary of the State Committee, posi-
ton he filled as he does all of his work,
well. He had desire to be postmaster at
Asburv Park, and his application was
backed by nearly every prominent Demo-
crat in the Wilson and anti-Wilson.
But it was of no use. The President
turned him down. So BILLY" concluded
he did not want to be secretary of the State
Democratic committee any longer and he
resigned. 1t will be some time before
they get a more efficient and earnest
worker than "Billy" Deyereaux.

GIVE THE HOG A RIDE

Lansing, Mich. Dec. 13--"A
thousand mile railroad ride for
hogs. Rather expensive but a sure
cure for hog cholera"
This is a part of the information
given Secretary of State Martindale
by man from OwossO. He says os-
teOpathic treatment is the only way
to cure hog chilera. Every time one
of his hogs gets the cholera he shirs
it on train and gives it a ride
about the state for about thous-
and miles. The cholera is gone when
the hog gets back, he alleges.
In eplaining his cure, the Owosso
man, whose name is Withheld, states
that the hog is naturally lazy,
dirty animal and the cholera is the
result of his habits. He says a long
trip on freight car, with the open
air rushing in at 80 miles an hour
and the shaking up the hogs re-
ceive knocks the cholera galley
west in jig time.
He has suggested that the secre-
tary of state get the legislature to
appropriate money to build about
20 big machines to be located in
different sections of the state. He
declares these machines should be
so constructed that the hogs could
be placed in them and shaken up
similarly to fast railroad ride.
He also says a strong blast of air
should be played on the hogs to
correspond to the rusing air in the
freight car when the train is run
ming upwards of 30 miles an hour
The secretary of state wrote the
man from Owosso saying he would
take the matter under advisemenL.

how short the measure is. He de

present half bushel measures in
Michigan for commercial purposes
