WROUGHT A MIRACLE.

our money, Abner."

When we decided to 60 into this
business we agreed to stay by 1t to
the last. 1t is a long way from a
failure"
Yes" sighed Mrs. Vance, but the
anxiety and slow worry is wearing
you down"
The only mistake we made was
that we calculated on too little capi-
tai. With another thousand dollars

ties
We invested all we had, Abner."

meritorious entertainment, and-we
are bound to win,"
1t was a peculiar position in which
the Vances found themselves. Two
months previously they had sold out
a little general store business that
had given them a bare living for
twenty years and enabled them to
give their only daughter, Helen, an
excellent musical education.
A relative in the south had been
the cause of sudden determination
on the part of these worthy, credu-
lous people that had altered the whole
current of their lives. He was some
thing of plunger and speculator,
with the motto: Get in first on the

investment in a motion picture show
and was fast acquiring fortune.

So, pride and novelty carried the
Vances away from their usual sober
Judgment and here they were now,
discussing the results as proprietors
of the Palace" photo playhouse at
Maiden.
They found a poor, cheap motion
picture show in the town when they
started in, but it catered to a second
class clientele. There was a vacant
hall in the place that Mr.. Vance COW

TRENTON, Nov. 12.--Senator Will
lam T. Read. of Camden, newly
chosen leader of the Republican ma
jority of the next State Senate, who
said that the Senate will not agree
TO any sine die adjournment until
every pledge in the State platform
has been redeemed, has caused a lot
of talk among officeholders and poll
iticianS.
Reads statement caused many to
look up the Republican platform to
find out what those pledges really
are.
Those who made this study found
that among the things that the
Republican Legislature will nave 70
attend to next winter before ad-
journment are:
Strengthen the civil service laws.
Pass the economy and efficiency
bills, which will mean that many
will be thrown out of jobs by the
consolidation and lsimphfication OF
State departments.
Provide agricultural experiment
stations for the benefit of farmers
and to help them market their pro-
duce more readily.
Help the people of New Jersey
to decrease the living expenses
through the enactment of laws al
lowing the creation of public mar
kets.
Study the problem of soil fertility
and find out whether it would bS
practical TO provide irrigation sys-
TENS for dry areas in New Jersey.
Cut down expenses wherever pos-
ct and YR6lIaa PX0rDItAnI Ealcl-
ries.
Pass the proposed woman suffrage
amendment.
Free the watersheds Of control by
corporate monopoly and help the
people to control these sheds.
Foster good roads.
Develop local self government
especially in the management OF
public schools.
strengthen the employers liabil-
ity law but take good care Of the
employers as well as of the em-
ployes.
sources of the State without add
ing to the burden OF taxation.
Pass the home rule for municipali-
ties amendment; also the excess
condemnation amendment.
The Republican platform says
nothing about the other pending
constitutional amendment providing
for the election of Assemblymen by
districts, but it Is expected that the
majority will not oppose this amend
ment and that they will allow it to
go to the people for a vote in Sep
tember along with the woman suf-
frage and the other proposed con-
stitutional amendments that have
already been passed the first time
by the Legislature.
The State platform does not men
tion any particular salaries that
ought to be reduced and there will
probably be a wrangle about the
proposed legislation on this topic.
II all the foregoing legislation is
carried out the next Legislature ses-
sion will be a long one.
