YOUTH INITIATES A SUICIDE
Y~ounester Who EmuIated
Dead Friend.

Los Angeles, Cal.-John Handling,
a seYenteen-year-old teamster, shot
himself the other day because his
chum, Floyd Mayhem, did the same
some weeks ago. Mayhem is dead,
but Handling will live.
Handling did not select the scene of
his death with such a good y for
romantic surroundings as did young
Mayhem. The young southerner,
homesick for his loved cotton fields.
went to Westlake park and there,
while the band was playing a melody
which haunted him, put a pistol to his
head and fired. He fingered for a
month and then died.
Undeterred by the pains Mayhem
suffered, Handling went into a barn
at 203 Central avenue and fired a bull
let into his breast. 1t missed the
heart, but punctured the left lung.
AS the shot rang out the cashier in
the Offices Of the John ". Snowden
company was making out landings
time check. The young man had
been discharged. He was taken to
the receiving hospital, put on the
anne table on which his chum, May
hew, had been laid, and was later
taken to the county hospital, where
Mayhem died.

WELL KNOWS TRUMPET CALL
Army Horse May Lose Its Rider But
Always Keeps Its Formation
and Seeks Camp.

1t was recently announced that the
Dutch across the border knew the
Germans had been routed by the
rlderless horses they saw %galloping
about in troops.
The return of riderless horses to
camp is an almost certain sign of a
rout that amounts almost to annihila-
ton. A horse may lose it's trooper.
but, unless it is wounded, it will nearly
always keep on with the rest.
If the battle is lost, and the army
is driven from the field in confusion,
the ownerless horses will return to
camp or remain on the field, often
galloping about in military formation,
but avoiding the wounded.
An army horse knows the trumpet
call as well as its rider, and when a
squadron lines up to charge it will
strain at the bit, anxious to be off;
but it does not like waiting doing moth
ing, especially if exposed to fire.
Many attempts have been made to
extend the Geneva convention to an
imals; the proposal has received
sympathy everywhere, but nothing
definite has yet been done, though
every soldier does his best for his
steed so far as in him lies.
In this war the purple, instead Of
red, Genevan cross has ben adopted
by British horse lovers who intend to
follow the battle lines to minister to
wounded horses, and to assist rider
less charges to escape hunger.

How to Learn.

The wiser men are, the more humblv
will they submit to learn from oth-
ers; they do not disdain the sfmplicitv
of those who teach them; they arc
willing to lower themselves to the
level of h~usbandmen, of poor women
of children. Many things are known
to the simple and unlearned. 7
have learned more important truth
beyond comparison from men Of
humble station who are not named in
the schools, than from all the famous
doctors. Let no man, therefore, boast
of his wisdom, or look down upon the
lowly. who have knowledge Of many
secret things which God has not
shown to those renowned for wisdom.

Complaints Against Railroad.

Upon it's own initiative the Board
of Public Utility Commissioners has
called a hearing to determine whether
the West Jersey and Seashore Rail-
road is furnishing adequate and prop
or service by running trains between
Camden and Atlantic City and Cam
Gen and Cape May which are not so
equipped that passengers may obtain
drinking water. The Supreme Court
get aside the original order of the
board requiring all railroads to fur
nish drinking water on trains having
trips of more than half an hours
duration. The Supreme Court reason
ed that it was improper to issue a
general order covering all railroads
but in specific instances the board
could deal with as the conditions
warranted. During the summer it has
been the practice of the railroad to
run excursion trains between Cam
den and the shore points and they
were not supplied with drinking wa
ter. The weather was warm and suf-
fering is said to have resulted. 1t
is not claimed that these trains are
being run at this time but the board
looks upon this as the opportune time
to take up the matter so that the
conditions may be righted before the
opening of the next summer season.
Although the board has taken this &C
ton of its own initiative there have
been many complaints made Of the
railroads practice.

SOME FLIES IN OINTMENT
Bride Was Happy Enough, But There
Were a Few Things That Might
Be Improved On.

A maid who had been employed in
the Benner home for several years
took unto herself a husband and went
to a nearby town to live. One day
about a month after the wedding she
came to call on her former mistress,
who said:
We'll, Phoebe, I hope that you are
happy in your new home. How is
your husband?"
We'll, l reckon I'm happy enough,
but the chimney in the kitchen don't
draw none too good, an the water in
the well is so brackish l amt never
goin' to git used to it. AS for my
husband, well, ma'am, it's with him as
it is with your man an all the rest
of 'em, if the Lord had 'em to make
over he could improve some on the
Job. Amt eggs turrible high?"

T Ample Floor Space, Plenty of
Light, Playground, Heat, Books,
Maps, Clock and Water Cooler.

Especial Trenton Correspondence.
Trenton.-Declaring that conditions
under which teachers do their work
are factors in determining the value
of schools State Commissioner of
Education CALVIN N. Kendall issued a
bulletin in which he advises boards
of education as to the equipment and
furnishings of the schools under their
jurisdiction. Commissioner Kendall
says that teachers must have con-
~veniences and tools to do their work
q schoolhouse with adequate floor
space, plenty of light, satisfactory
ventilation, sufficient heat and ample
schoolyard. He added that all of these
are important, but they're not
enough. They are only a part of the
physical conditions necessary, he de-
clares, however. In the bulletin,
Commissioner Kendall says: "City
schools are, as a rule well equipped
with apparatus for teaching, but rural
schools and schools in small towns
are not usually SO equipped. In plain
truth, a one-room school equipped
with sufficient apparatus for doing
good school work is the exception,
not the rule. Seats that are in good
repair and that fit the children, a
good clock, a thermometer, a water
cooler, maps for teaching geography,
sufficient books for teaching reading,
materials to keep young children
busy at their seats, disable black
boards-all these cost but little, but
they are wanting in many country
schools. II these, the tools for daily
work are at hand, the teacher can
work advantageously. If they are not
at hand she and the children are
handicapped in their work. In some
districts the purchase of books, pic
lures, musical instruments, etc., is
made possible by the cooperation of
parents associations and women's
clubs with boards Of education, and
through efforts of the older pupils in
giving entertainments. 1t is believed
that boards of education will be glad
to have the advice given in this bull
letin. AS a rule, members of boards
are engrossed in their own affairs,
and however, willing they may be,
they cannot be expected to know
what the schools need in the way of
equipment. The bulletin has been
prepared to assist boards in their
public-spirited service for children
and the STATE"

TESTING SEEDS IN JERSEY.
Agricultural Experiment station Is
Doing This Without Any Charge.

Many farmers in New Jersey make
a practice of selecting and saving
seeds from their crops for planting
the following season. Also in some
communities Of specialized crops the
growers are dependent upon one or
a few of the growers to supply the
homegrown seed.
The value of these seeds depends
upon their trueness to type, and also
upon their vitality. The first factor
is controlled by the grower. The Sec
ond factor he can also control, In
a large measure, by his methods of
seed growers send samples Of
From now until early spring the
seed laboratory at the New Jersey
Agricultural Experiment Station at
New Brunswick is not so rushed with
the many samples of grass and clover
seeds which come in just previously
to seeding time. 1t is therefore in
a position to handle quite a large
number of samples, and suggests that
seed growers and send samples Of
vegetable or other crop seeds to be
tested for their vitality.
Such a test will give a better idea
of the value of the seeds, and on the
basis of such a test the rate of seed
ing car be regulated. The results
of this test may also indicate that
certain changes would be desirable in
the methods of harvesting and clean
ing or in the conditions of storage.
The only cost is for mailing the
sample to the experiment station.

MOTHERS AND DAME FASHION
Woman MoIds Her Daughter in Foun-
dalton of Style and Taste From
Earliest Years.

Take the average girl, carefully note
the manner in which she is dressed
and then you have an advertisement
good or bad-for her mother.
In some subtle manner a mother
molds her daughter from babyhood in
the style of her clothing, and it is a
very important molding, too. For if
clothes do not make the man they do
go a long way in giving a true impress
sion of a woman.
Every new dress that a mother buys
for her little girl is a small stone in
the foundation of style and taste that
will guide her daughter in future years.
l vas taking tea with a well-known
public woman recently, and she called
my attention to two young business
girls who were sitting at another table
in the restaurant. From the hat of one
hung a faded-looking rose, her low
necked blouse was not improved by
her soiled coal collar, and above her
cheap-looking patent shoes showed
tawdry openwork stockings. The
other wore a smart, perfectly plain
nat, neat, well-fltting costume, and
was tastefully booted.

panion briefly. = Rehoboth Sunday

Resisting an Officer.
SHE WOULDN'T WALK
Sc There Was Quite a Scene Before
Several Policemen Succeeded In
Hosting the Animal Into the We

Philadelphia, Pa.-Ethel, a Jersey
COW belonging to Robert Hutchinson
Of 6729 Leeds street, was arrested the
other day by the police of the Sixty
first and Thompson streets station,
charged with, first, having wantonly
eaten most of the grass on Louis
Jones front lawn at Sixty-third street
Ind Lebanon avenue; second, resisting
arrest. and third, conduct unbecoming
a lady.
1t all began by a perfectly orderly
meeting which took place between
Ethel and two of her best friends,
Rose, a light brindle, who furnishes
milk to the family Of James Kelso, Of
926 North Sixty-eighth street, and Mrs.
Dooley, an estimable mixer, who is
cherished by William Funston, of 1908
North ~Sixty-sixth street. The three
wandered down the street together,
switching their tails amiably until they
came to Mr.. Jones' lawn.
Jones came out when the luncheon
was well advanced. Without being
Introduced he made remarks, and a
crowd gathered. Jones rushed into
the house, called the police, and a pa
troll wagon came on the run from
the station house.
Rose and Mrs. Dooley went along
meekly enough, tied to the back of
the wagon, but Ethel intimated that
she'd die in her tracks before she'd
walk a step behind that thing, and
there was quite a scene before the pa
troll squad succeeded in hosting her
into the wagon. Before they reached
the station house a large crowd col,
lected around the wagon and made
jeering remarks. When they got
there, Ethel declined to get out.
The reserves finally were called out
of the station house, and eighteen
muscular policeman picked Ethel up
bodily. Five hundred persons stood
around and shrieked and howled.
