RANCE has been too busy for some
time to remember much about Gen

ire- NOTHING but an old man with a
shady personal reputation and unllm-
tied regrets. He was born in 1887 and
in his youth was a brave SoIdler Ilgnt-
ing for France with sword, 1lsJs,
shoulders, tongue and pen Wherever yer
the enemy was thickest. After the
capture Of Paris he devoted himself
to the task of hating Germany. Sc
successful was he that he hated him
self into a brigadier generalsh1p and
then into the dictatorship or infantry,
in which office he made reforms and
improvements and yelled for vengeance
until France began to regard him as
the biggest man in the world and
cIamored for the privilege Of following
him over the Rhine, the Cologne cathe-
draI and other obstacles to Berlin.
Boufanger got into the cabinet and
yelled so fiercely for blood that he
was known as the brave general and
those politicians who opposed him re-
tired from office under carloads Of
votes. The Royalists swung in behind
him and began to lay plans to install
another emperor in Paris when BOu-
LANCER should have tipped over the re-
public and wiped out Germany. The
anxious government fired him from the
army and an indignant people elected
him to the assembly by a tremendous
majority. He resigned in 1888 in an
eruption of hectic patriotism and the
people reelected him so emphaticaIly
that the cabinet became worried and

Dear Miss Fairfax:
Last summer / met a young man in
the country. He showed me marked
attention, and since then has called on
me at intervals of six and eight weeks.
Last week he asked me to wait for him
year and ne would then be IN posi-
ton to marry. reproached him with
his long intervals of absence, and he
said that he is doing some work after
business hours, which keeps him busy.
and that on Sundays he generally goes
out with the boys 1 am seeking your
advice because my mother and think
differently about this matter Ny
mother claims that he has no Obliga-
tions toward me. Golden Locks
The young man was under no ohllSa-
lions to you up to the time he. asked
you to be his wife year from now
But it is most unusual to say the least,
for a man to absent himself for week
from the girl he has asked to marry
him. Write and ask him to come to ses
YOU at a stated time, and then tell him
that YOU miss all the real tenderness
from his manner and actions that could
be needed to convince YOU Of his sincere
feelings. A woman has very right to
have a clear understanding with this
man she has promised to marry.

them to keep quiet, to never tell what

"And I saw him come home yester-

head in assent.
Although it was hard to keep the
secret the kitties did not tell anyone,
and kept their sharp eyes open on the
lookout for a pair of inky paws. But
none did they see for almost three days.
But on the evening of the third day,
COttontail, just as Mrs Tabby had said,
could stand the waiting no longer. So
he gathered some flow ers, as sort OF an
excuse for going, and went to see Mrs.

house and left the letter on the
door step he was frightened. He was
afraid that someone might catch him.
But as a matter Of fact he need not
have worried at all The Tabby family
was out in the kitchen, every single one
of them, and they were dancing around
and playing and making such a noise
that they did not have time to answer
the doOrbell. Mrs. Tabby had to laugh
at them and dry her paws and go her
self, after she had waited several min
utes for one of them to do it.
So by the time the door opened and
shut again. leaving Mrs. Tabby with
the note in her hand. CottontaiI was
safe at home. Mrs. Tabby carried the
envelope back and into the kitchen. The
children stopped playing and crowded
about her as she sat down to read it.
Tommy got her glasses for her, Tottie
ran and got the knife to open the letter,
and Teddy and the others crowded up
just as close as they could get.
What a dirty envelope" giggled
Teddy, and, what a terribly soiled let
ter. too" said Mrs. Tabby, as she
pulled it forth. The letter was very
soiled, for had not COttontail spilled
the ink all over it? Mrs. Tabby read
it and her mouth grew very stern.

Austin, Tex, Nov. 23.-Because tax

will be impossible to pay all of the

He has accordingly decided to pay 1

out. Recently I met this young man
at a social He offered to escort me
home, but as my sister was with me I
didn't deem L necessary, as I didn't live
far. Now. would it be Proper to ask
this young man to call on me2 I like
him very much, and I think he likes
me, too. Also, would It be proper 70

comforts could be had in Pleasant

ed expense. AS for the services of a
surgeon, it would be much easier for
him to travel or miles from Allan
tic City or 60 miles from Philadelphia
than to transport a patient in pain the
same distance, and the time consumed
would be very much less, and friction

HOSPITAL FOR
PLEASANTVILLE
Logical Reasons Why Institution
Of This Kind Should Be Es-
tablished in Our City.


There is constant need in this and
adjoining communities for a place
where the sick and injured can be
cared for at short notice, intelligently,
and with the proper equipment. 1t
is true that we have the Atlantic City
Hospital close at hand, but the Shore
Road towns contribute nothing to its
support aside from what is represent
ed in the allowance made iby the
Board of Freeholders. And again,
that institution is usually well filled
and its corps of nurses have all they
can do. When our people need SER
vices of hospital they must go to
Atlantic City or Philadelphia. In the
latter case it involves So carfare and
day of time for members of the
family to visit their sick. If the pa
tient occupies private room it costs
from $25 to $40 a week. The same

Effect Settlement To-
morrow.

breweries in Washington, which would
be affected by the proposed strike Of
brewery workers, are in session this aft

tho brewery workers. Tomorrow morning
they are to meet representatives of the
workmen and there is every indication
that the differences will be adjusted sat

cfals and workmen was held yesterday,
when matters under consideration were
talked over in a spirit of fairness. with
an effort on both sides to reach just
agreement. It was explained by the EN-
ployers that they had no intention of
wholesale discharge of employees when
the Jones-Works law put about one-third
Of the saloons in Washington out of
business November I.
1t was agreed that they should have
a reasonable right to discharge employees
if it was found that there was con-
siderable falling off in demand for their
product, but that il men had to be dis
charged an effort would be made to place
agreed to adhere to the eight-hour day.
and the readjustment of the wage sched-
ule was taken up. Modified demands of
the union workmen were drafted and
these are under consideration of the EN-
ployers at today's meeting.

troversy expressed the opinion today
that matters would be satisfactorily
