FEAR TO TRUST THE MARRIED
sitlons to the Bachelors, for
UngalIant Reasons.

The stars in their courses seem to
be fighting against the married man,
says the San Francisco Argonaut. 1t
appears that he is now to be discrim-
mated against on the ground that he
is certain to impart trade secrets to
his wife, who, as we ali know, is equal
ly certain to impart them in her own
peculiar ways to the world at large.
The latest employer to join this I'M
holy league against the married man,
and thus to increase the natural perils
of his position, is Sir Thomas Upton.
His only chance to win the America
cup is to preserve inviolable secrecy
as to the design of his new yacht, and
he is therefore rigid in his decision
that only bachelors need apply for
work in his yard.
Another impenitent offender in this
respect is Lord Kitchener, who not
only refuses to have any married man
on his staff in time of war, but who
promptly removes from his staff any
officer guilty of matrimony during
active service, 1t seems, therefore,
that the old charge against women Of
inability to keep secret must be en-
larged. Not only are they themselves
incapable of keeping a secret, but they
decline to allow their husbands to
do so.

LIKE CANCEL AT THE GATE"
swInburne In Gorgeous Array, APP
peared to Simple Villagers az
Flaming Apparition.

An amusing story of Swinburne Is
told by Edmund Gosse. At the age of
twenty-three Swinburne was sent to
study history under Bishop Stubs,
who was then in charge Of country
parish in Essex. He arrived there on
a Saturday and was excused attend
ance at Sunday morning church on the
ground that he must be tired with his
journey.
He had breakfaot il bed, but finding
1t a glorious mcILing he arrayed him
self In scarlet SLIPPERS and a light
crimson dressing Gown, sauntered into
the garden and leaned pensively over
the gate, with his red hair flaming bril-
liantly in the sunlight.
The church bells were ringing and
the parishioA-.s had all to pass the
parsonage gate to get to church. But
none of them dared to pass the fam
ing apparition, and all came to halt
The church bells stopped. but at the
instance of the vicar, who could not
believe that all the parishioners had
deserted him, were rung again.
At last the boldest man in the vii
lage bolted past the gate and the rest
stampeded after him, Swinburne gaz-
ing at them in quiet wonder at their
strange method of going to church,

SEARCHED LONG FOR HOME
Alleged Life History of Hole Used to
Bolster Argument Against
Woman Suffrage.

Everett P. Dahlgren, the millionaire
opponent of woman suffrage said at a
suffrage debate in Boston:
Il always declare that woman
shouldn't enter politics until she's full
filed her prior duties.
prior duties! Prior duties! So
a young lady Knocked me one day.
What do you men mean by these
prior duties" that you're always talk
ing about, Mr.. Dahlgren?'
so I then told the young lady this
story.
"Once upon time, began little
hole was born; and it looked around
to see where 1t should take up It's
abode.
1T first decided upon window, but
"a man came straightaway and put in a
new pane 1t next chose chair seat,
but the housewife sent for Gamer,
and in jiffy a new seat was put In
the chair. The hole now selected a
baby's rattle, and the baby was so
pleased that it began to tear the rat
tie to pieces, and the poor hole, half
crazed with fright, had just time to
escape. 1t threw itself, more dead
than alive, into the first thing that
came to hand, which happened to be
the sock of a suffragist's husband.
There, at last, the hole seems to
have found real home. It's peace has
NOT been troubled from the beginning
six months ago."

Earth,s Unfortunates.

Sing Sings prison newspaper, the
Star of Hope, notes the recently pub
lished bulletin of the census bureau
that 493,934 persons were committed
to prison in the United States in 1910,
14,147 of them children. If five persons
were affected directly and disastrous
ly by the commitments, 100000 peo-
pie, or one in 40 of the country's inhabi-
tants, suffered because some one close
to them went to prison. But what of
the hundreds, of thousands of husbands
and brothers, sons and daughters i'm
prisoned in the years preceding, MAJ
king the operation of the criminal laws
cumulative? The whole community
must always be painfully aware Of the
penalties of crime.

Titanic Widows Money.

Arising out of the loss Of the I'll
tanic, several applications under the
workmen's compensation act were
heard at Southampton (England)
county court. 1t was stated that in
three cases the widows of members
of the Titanic's crew had married
again.
In one case Judge Gye said: "She
can have the money, but shall com
municate with the treasury. 1t seems
to me unfair that the children should
be deprived of all the compensation
when the widow uses 1t for the pur-
pose of getting married again. Com
pensation was paid for the express
reason that she was dependent on her
husband. She is not now."-From the

Uncle Sam viii Test Your Watch

Regular testing of watches for the
public was inaugurated by the United
States bureau Of standards recently,
thus taking up the testing and certifi-
cation of watches in q similar manner
to that carried on by the Kew observa-
tory in England, the Besancon OBJ
servatory in France and the Geneva
and Neuchatel observatories In Swift
zerland. Preliminary tests upon the
various types and makes of American
watches have already been made, the
results of which have been the modifi-
cation of European testing methods
and the establishment of certain stand
ards of tolerances for practical serv-
ice. The possession of a government
certificate will enable the owner of
certified watch to know that ne has
a timepiece which conforms to the
average and reasonable performances
of high-grade adjusted watches. The
fees for tests will merely cover the
actual cost of the trials.

WHAT TO 90 WITH THIS BOY
Case Of Juvenile criminallty In France
That May Well Puzzle the
Social Reformer.

Here ~ q little life story that more
ytvidly illuminates the task OF the So
cial reformer than any number of trea-
tises. A couple Of nights ago a boy Of
less than fifteen was discovered along
side the Seine by a couple of police
men. At first he refused to utter a
word, but eventually he narrated his
Odyssey. Eighteen months ago, when
he was barely thirteen, he surreptiti-
ously left his parents house in Paris,
taking with him sum of 500 francs.
With this money in his possession he
went to Brussels, where he was short
ly after arrested. The police conduct
ed him home, but he escaped again.
Taken back a second time, he was ap-
prenticed to farmer. but promptly de-
parted on fresh adventures. Since then
he has existed by means of begging
and thieving. Two months ago he
stole a couple of bicycles, and, mount
ing one and propelling the other, made
off for Rouen, where he sold one of the
mahchines, riding to Paris on the 9TH
er. This he sold in Paris, and lived on
the proceeds for time, until, shelter
less and without resources, he was
found by the police. What can the
socfologist, the penologist, or the phi
lanthropist do with 80 youthful and
precocious a criminal? The problem is
q serious one in France, where iuve-
nile crime is alarmingly on the IN
crease.-Paris Correspondence London

LAY CLAIM TO SPITzBERGEN
-stobody's Island" Has Valuable Coal
Deposits and Now It's
Wanted.

That classic question, Now that
you've got it, what are you going to.
do with it?' has applied to the island
Of Spitzbergen for 500 years. An
American from Michigan has solved
the question by working a valuable
coal deposit he discovered, with the
result that w. Miller Collier of Albany,
N. Y, former minister to Spain, has
been appointed by the state depart
ment to meet delegates of the powers
at Christiania, Norway, on June 16, to
decide who owns the territory.
Spitzbergen first came into promi-
nence In 1896, when 1t was discovered
by William Barents. Since that time
It has worried along without per-
manent human habitation, its only
visitors being fishermen and whalers
and explorers.
Since its discovery Spitzbergen has
been known to have immensely valu-
able coal deposits. The fact that the
coal can be mined only during six
weeks of the year prevented its use.
An American visitor to the island de-
veloped a plan whereby he could mine
the coal, and claimed the island in the
name of the United States.
1t was nobody's island. People had
refused to pay taxes on it since the
beginning of the world; but when the
American in question found that the
coal could be mined, the several ma
tons adjoining and adjacent to the
island put up an awful howl.
Deeds and first mortgages dating
from the month of the big wind in 642
B. c., were submitted as proof that
the submitting nations owned the prop
erty.
Nathaniel Wilson, Washington at
torney, has been appointed the legal
representative Of the GOAL company
formed, and in which $1,000,000 al
ready has been invested Mr.. Collier
is now on his way to Christiania.

is WORLDS GREATEST BANK
Lloyd's Total Now Mounts Up to No
Less Than Five Hundred Mil
lion Dollars.

With its recent acquisition OF the
Wits & Dorset Banking company,
Lloyd's bank of London becomes prob
ably the greatest financial corporation
of its kind, as its deposit and cur
rent account now aggregates more
than s5OO,OOO.OOO.
Lloyd's bank has a history extend
ing over long period of years, as the
private bank out OF which 1t was
formed was established in 1865, and
the present banking corporation was
formed in 1865. Including its latest
acquisition, the bank has absorbed no
less than 48 other banking houses
since 1865. and of these 35 were pri-
vate banks, one of these dating back
to 1877. The bank is represented In
40 out Of the So counties in England
and Wales, and a subsidiary company
was formed in 1911 to open a branch
in Paris, an old French private bank
ing house being taken over.
1t is unusual for an English Joint
stock bank to organize a subsidiary
for doing business in a foreign coun-
try, but this plan had to be adopted.
Under the French law, to conduct a
banking business in France would
have rendered the entire capital of
the bank, no matter where located,
subject to taxation. In all, Lloyd's
bank now has $50 separate offices.
While an incorporated bank, the ira
ditions of the private banking days
yet remain, and practically every Off
cial of the bank and it's branch man
ayers were educated in private bank.

Quality. KEYNOTE Of British Crops.

Quality must always be the keynote
of British agriculture, as the area is
far too small to enable farmers to
grow the quantities of produce that
the newer countries of the world can
yield; and in no connection is quality
of greater importance than that of the
cereal crops. Wheat, oats and barley
will occupy considerable portion of
the land, and the condition in which
they are put on the market substantial.

Mr., TROWBRIDCE'S
SCHOOL MEMORIES
Sale Of Morris Township Build
ings Recall Old Times.

The story i'm this paper regarding
the contemplated sale of the dis
carded school buildings in Morris
township was widely copied A re-
hash of the article was scissored from
a Newark paper by the Dover "1n-
dex' and came to the attention of j.
It. Trowbridge, of Boonton. Mr..
.Trowbridge has written an interest
ing letter regarding the memories of
his school days that the story recalls.
Despite his seventy-two years Mr..
.Trowbridge writes "a fine hand, show
ing the careful training in the "three
RS for which the old days were
famous. Mr. Trowbridge tells how
the Union hill district school house
was on the South side of the road
about two, miles from Morristown,
called the "Mendham road" in which
he taught school in 1859 and 1860 an
the winter term of 1870. This build
ing was torn down a few years after
and a new site given by Luther
Kountze, Esq. The new building was
erected on the other side, of the road
and on the road that leads to Wash
ington Valley which as you will see
by the notice is to be retained. Mr..
VanNess, taught several terms in
this new building. In the brick
school house on the Mountain road,
one and three-quarter miles from Nor
ristown, he taught in the year 1862.
In the summer of 1857 the building
at Morris Plains was erected, J. Harry
Pierson and James T. Willison were
the contractors.
81 was present at the laying of the
corner stone. Hon. A. w. Cutler, of
Morristown, delivered the address on
that occasion. He was a great friend
of the common schools" Mr.. T. COM
menced teaching in the upper room
in the fall of this year, which had
been temporarily furnished till the
lower room was completed, which was
in the. early part of the winter. Sing
ing school, debating society and relig-
ious meetings were also held in this
room, as well as political meetings.
So you see that we are coming back
to the good old days, and when the
teachers used to keep school every
other Saturday, and from nine a. m.
to four p. M, with one hour at noon
to play ball, and no vacations, ex-
cept Christmas. There are men and
women now living in these several
districts who no doubt can call to
mind many of the good old times the
enjoyed there when young, and can
also remember that the law of cor
poral punishment was not repealed,
and there was very little playing
truant in those days No truant Of
ficer, who now takes these cases up
to the judge of the courts. 1t was
all settled then by the teacher
