CHURCH SALE A LA MODE.
Rainy Day Does Not Prevent Success
of Girls Sale.

Did you ever hear of a cake and
candy sale being conducted by tele-
phone?
OF course it rained, as dt nearly al
ways does when we have a church
sale All the good things were at
tractively displayed and re-arranged
several times to suit everybody's ar
tistic taste. and the young ladies' in
charge settled themselves to await
developments and customers.
1t still rained.
The faithful few (mostly those who
had given the stuff came in to buy
and departed with best wishes for a
successful sale. Well, the weather
became drearier than ever, and it be-
gan to grow dark, when somebody
had a bright idea:
Nov, girls, we can't let all this
delicious walnut fudge, stuffed dates,
chocolate cake, and biscuits go to
waste, and we simply mustn't eat it,
SO I'm going to telephone around to
all our friends to see if they will
help US out
No sooner said than done. The re-
suits? About $1,000 more in profits&

QUARTER CENTURY
HOSPITAL PATIENT
Or. Evans Tells Of Several
Cases at Morris Plains.

A quarter of a century is a long
time to spend in an insane asylum
but glance over the records of the
New Jersey state hospital at Morris
Plains show that a large number have
been inmates OF that institution for
that length of time and several have
been there for a longer time.
"The Oldest male inmate in the
hospital has been confined here for
thirtysone years." stated DR.. Britton
ID. Evans, the medical director, ''he
was committed to the institution as
an INDECENT patient when he was TWEEN
ty years of age and now at the age
of fifty-one bids 1air to dive many
more years. Their life here is so
we'll ordered and their care so good
that their life would be much longer
than it would be if they were out in
the world where they would be neg
lected." Asked if there were any
women inmates who had spent as
long a time, DR.. Evans drew forth
the record of one committed in 1884.
"She,' he said, pointing to her photo
graph, lis over eighty years old.
Her sight is beginning to fail but she
is cheerful and takes an interest in
things going on in the outside world
especially in the European war which
she learns about through the news
papers and magazines sent to her.
''She,' he continued selecting another
photograph, ''and her daughter are
both inmates of the institution. She
is nearly eighty and her daughter
lis about thirty This one." this
time another photograph, was COM
mitted in November, 1887, from RAt-
erson. She talks of residents of thai
place that she knew before she was
committed. Her daily request is that
she might leave the institution and
return to England. She watches the
time of arrival and sailing of all
boats from New York in the news.

RANDOLPH SHOWS STRENGTH
IN GAME WITH KINGSLEY
CIassiest of "Prep" School
Football Teams.

Kingsley School defeated Randolph
Military academy in a hot game Sat
urday afternoon IA to 0. Every min
ute of the game was replete with
the hardest kind of football fight. The
men on both sides struggled with every
ounce of their strength making a
beautiful game for the large crowd
to witness. Sperry and Bingham
played spectacular part for the Win
ners. Bingham especially thrilled the
field with his brilliant runs around
the ends. Hebard was a whole team
in himself for Randolph. Knauss, th
Randolph quarterback, punted consis-
tently for fifty yards His work on
the Offence was ta.ticularly ETod,
noticeably when he ran back Kingsley
punts.
Kingsley scored its two touchdowns
during the first quarter. After that
there was no scoring on either side.
The play was kept in the center of
the field almost all of the time. Mass
plays, when used, netted nothing, the
line men on both teams holding tight
The Kingsley backfield was not
successful with its forward pass but
Randolph managed to use it satisfac-
torily on a number of occasions.
Kingsley,s strength lay in its perfec-
tion of its teamwork. Its interference
formations were unusually strong. 1t
seemed impossible to get through to
tackle the man with the ball. Ran
dolph ON the other hand, had some
powerful individual players who often
advanced the bali for long gains with
no interference at all. Each side
was penalized six times for minor of
