 This seems to be natural enough, but the funny fact is that Boston was the place of origin of these "spOotng" and farcical dinners. The old Papyrus cEb invented them thirty or forty years ago and carried them on for many years before the Gridron club of Washington took up the idea and developed it into something richer and stronger.
 The Papyrus jokes were always di- rected at new members or guests, and many a staid Bostonian has found him self the astonished focus of fantastic compliments" that made his blood run cold. or mock denunciation that would have fitted Judas Iecariot or Benedict Arnold, and of tales and charges that were abominable Bos- ton survived these-but possibly Brother Curley was never enter tained at the Papyrus-N York Mail.

FIND PROFIT IN OLD SYSTEM
Georgia Farmers Re-establish Smoke houses of Ante 5eIIum Days and
 Are Making Money.

A number of farmers in Brooks county, Georgia, have been going back to methods once common, but which have been superseded of late years, to their own considerable profit, and to the advantage of certain consumers. These farmers objected to the com mercial system under which they were receiving but seven and eight cents a pound for the pork which they raised, while they saw the ham and bacon of commerce retailing in their own mar kets for 25 cents a pound. They re- solved to re-establish the aute. .bellum smokehouses on their farms and imme- iiately carried the resolution into eff

We have been telling you something about
the way Hunterdon County people are coming
to Brookfield to live and now going to
tell you something about its business side.
In no other suburban section outside of the
city of Trenton is such a strongly organized
effort being made to develop real estate as
along the Pennington Road.
During the eight years that have elapsed
since the first active development began real
estate has doubled, and in some instances,
trebled and quadruped in value. What it will
do in the next eight years is worth thinking
about--and Brookfied is real town, in size.

Mr.. Parker don t know about

which they have failed to do. Had
hey produced one would at

at Mexico to discontinue collect

Mr.. Parker, you are mistaken
about these rates. We charged
one rate from Mexico to Lad

But, Mr.. Parker, what have

Mexico situation? The Audrain
