HOMEMADE TRIMMINGS
ADD TO E BEAUTY

The beauty of a Christmas tree does
moi depend upon the amount of money
which has been expended upon 1t. Ca
pable fingers and judicious thought
may weave the magic spell of romance
about it. Indeed, the dutter of prep

hurried visit to a store where these
things can be purchased at short no
tice.
Indeed. nothing quite takes the place
of the old time tree. with its boughs
laden with simple gifts and homemade
ornaments. Each trife has some sig

Eagles 90 20 Cape Island by
Special Train

One hundred and fifty-three basket
ball fans, accompanied the Eagles
team and headed by the Scrap Iron
Band, paraded the streets, which were
illuminated with red fire, last evening
and then boarded a special Reading
train for Cape May, where the second
championship game was played with
Cape May. The hall where the game
was played, resembled a miniature
Army and Navy game crowd, the Cape
May aggregation having the Cape May
Band in attendance. The Eagles de-
serve great credit despite the fact that
the score was 27-24 in favor OF Cape
May, because q team cannot play a
team and q referee also. The fret hall
developed into q football game, and
Cape May never scored a goal, which
proves who were the players. The
first half ended 1879 in favor of the
Eagles and at no time were the Eagles
four points ahead, when the referee
would give Cape May enough fouls to
tie the score. The second half was
somewhat better aud Lehr playing
centre made a beautiful goal by reach
ing up and dropping the ball through
the basket to the establishment of the
Cape May quintette. Heating was
there in true form as well Goldberg, both
of whom scored goals when 1t seemed
almost impossible. The game ended
1924 in favor of Cape May. Upon
arriving home, the team was escorted
to the Hotel With, where the steward
of the Eagles home had prepared a
good feast.

General Contractor
Convicted OF Forgery

Robert Long, son Of Martin Long,
pleaded guilty to the charge of en-
bezzlement of q sum of none and a
bicycle from Rufus Collins before Judge
Eldredge In the criminal court on Tues
day. Long, together with his young
wife, Violet Long, were charged on a
joint indictment of forgery. The in
dictment was the elimination of q
series of repeated signings of the wife's,
grandmother's signature to checks,
the money from which was appropriate
ed by the husband.
Mrs. Long, who is only 10 years of
age, was raised by her grandparents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Martin A. Hilton, of
Anglesea. and for several years she has
been doing all of Mrs. Hilton's bank
ing. Long knowing this, by an act of
coercion forced his wife to sign checks
with the grandmother's signature
LENA Hilton" Cashier Eldredge, OF
the Marine National Bank, was the
first witness called. and testified that
the signature was a forgery, but by
whom he was unable to say. Richard
Rauch, the Anglesea grocer, was the
next witness called and stated that he
cashed the check for Robert Long.
Mrs. Long thea took the stand and
made the statement that she had sign
ed the check after her husband had
forced her, remaining silent to the
questions of the prosecutor as to the
manner in which he forced her to sign it.
She testified OF the stand with her n
year old baby In her arms. Ex-Judpe
Hildreth then examined Rufus Collins,
in reference to the attempted bribing
of Long into q forced confession. It.
appeared that the Prosecutor. Long
and Collins were in the prosecutors
office n afternoon last week. and
Long was told if he confessed every-
thing he would have the satisfaction
OF seeing his wife acquitted. 1t was
proven, however, that it was not true.
and that everything said by Long that
day was purely voluntary. The jury
after being addressed by Ex-Judges
Hildreth and Voorhees, In behalf of the
defendant, was charged by Judge FL
dredge, retired and In a few minutes
returned with a verdict Of guilty for
Long, recommending him to the mercy
OF the court, while the wife was acquit-
ted.
