Pauio sat on the dungeon floor and
smut out the terrible sight of the skele-
tons of his predecessors and sought to
gather his thoughts into some kind of
semblance of order. resolving that he
would as long as possible keep from
going stark mad
And meantime he would live on the
victims of his crushing heel; food
which, he decided. could not be so very
unsavory, since it furnished susie
nance. as books of travel had told him,
for thousands of Mongolians in the
purlieus of the far cities of the Chi
nese empire.

The Human Touch.

There must be the sensitive touch.
A visitor to mandatory saw a man
molding clay into pots. Noticing that
all the molding was done by hand, he
said to the workman. why do you
not use a tool to aid you in shaping

There Is no tool that can do this
work. We have tried different ones.

The first half ended with the
Macs" leading by a 13 to 3 score,
the visitors being shut out without
a field goal, and it was IN this hall
that the home club showed that they
are improving, their floor work and
passing being exceptionally good.
But in the second half the Macs
resorted more to team work and
long passes and failed to guard as
we'll as in the previous half, and the
visitors seeing their opportunity took
advantage of it and sent seven two
pointers spinning through the net.
The foul shooting of F. Pickett
was away off again, he only count
ing five times out OF a possible
twelve, but with his fast floor work
along with that of McHugh and
Akers he overcame this difficulty.
For the New Hope club, Ntzhugh,
was again the high scorer, sending
five double-deckers through the
basket, some of these being from
very difficult angles.
For the visitors, Randolph and
Hartman excelled with four and
three field losses respectively, and
some of the shots which Randolph
made brought the crowd to their
feet with applause, some of them
coming from the center of the cage.

BASKETBALL.


After seventeen minutes and a
half of the toughest basketball
ever seen in this city, the Laurels,
of Trenton forfeited their game to
Lambertville when C. Barlow called
the Trenton five off the floor, after
referee McCaffery had called a
double foul on one of the visitors.
Barlow was captain of the Laurel
five here last Thursday night at
Malloy's hall, and when Refree Nc
Gallery called the third double foul
on the Trenton five. Barlow called
his team off the floor and refused
to finish the game. After the limit
ed amount of time, the referee
awarded the game to Lambertville
by forfeit, / to 0. The score at
this time stood 14-12 in favor of
the visitors and Bloomer had a
double foul to shoot. The game

How to Finance a New School.
COMMUNICATED

The time has come when we will
have to act upon the school question
or pay for sending the children to a
place where there are school accom-
modations. Now that it is necessary
to have a better high school, the
time has come to practice economy.
We have firemen's pension that
we pay $40 to each member, and
500 to the chief, or total of S2100
per year. We have in the city six
constables, a mayor, and two rail-
road police at the station, besides a
private night patrol, clothed with all
the powers of police officers. Be-
sides, the mayor himself told me he
did all the police and constable work
there is to do, and didn't work very
hard, either. We are paying from
$500 to $500 per year (the city
treasurer tells me) for three other
policemen, who meet with council to
report lights out on Cottage Hill
which doesn't matter because the
city pays the bill, anyhow.
Now these two items alone total
So, 900, and if we drop the recorder
we have an even $4,000, enough to
pay interest on 100000 of bonds.
| see that sixty-four outside scholars
at $40 each are attending our high
school now. With additional accom-
modations this might be increased
to 100, bringing $4,000 per year
or interest upon another 100000.
| think the trouble with our peo-
pie is that they are all politicians
and not statesmen. A statesman
wants to do something for the town
but the politician wants the town to
do something for him. They forget
that the town lisa perpetual pauper,
being supported by the people.
| see by the tax bills that there's
an item of $4,000 for contingent
expenses whatever they are.
asked the city treasurer and he said
it was for stationery. If it takes
$4,000 for stationery, this can be
pared down at least one-half, leav-
ing enough to pay interest on $780,
900 more bonds.
Now gentlemen, build a school,
and one that will be credit to you
after you are gone. Build a high
school building with an auditorium
that will seat not less than 900. It
will save $500 in rent and the audi
forum will bring in $1,000 more.
Now you can get the money to pay
the interest without raising taxes,
but it can be done and lower taxes.
Build it now, or else say you are op-
posed to public schools.

get off at, and 'phoned for a couple of
jitneys to meet 'em. For the rest, was
bankin' on my luck.
A ND right on schedule we makes a
nine-thirty get-away-three machines
in all; for, while Marjorie had thrown
seventeen cat-fts when she first heard
that Brother Robert had renigged, she
shows up with Ferdie at the last minute
Catch her missin' out on any kind of q
weddin'!
"But just where, Robert?" says she,
"is this absurd affair to take place."
Haven't the least idea," says he.
"Ask Torchy."
So names the spot, gives the chauffeurs
their route directions, and off we booms
across the College Point ferry and out
towards the far end of the north shore.
The Reverend Percy turns out to be
kind of solemn, serious-minded gink
who'd been in college with Mr.. Robert.
Accordin to his tell them must have
been lively days.
We hadn't more than whirled in
through the stone gate of Harbor Hill
than begun to scent complications. For
there, lined up in front of the house,
are four other machines, with whole
mob of people around 'em.
"Why!' says Wee. "Who can they be?"
@Looks like some one had beaten us to
it," says l. "I'll go do some scoutin'." t"
COURSE, one closeup look is all that's
needed. It's movie outfit. I'm just
gettin' hot under the collar, too, when 1
discovers that the gent in charge is none
other than my old newspaper friend,
Whitley Weeks. I'd heard how he'd gone
into the film game as stage director. And
here he is, big as life, in suit of noisy
plaids.
Huh" says I, strollin' up. "Ain't
this my old friend Whitley Weeks?"
"Well WE'LL" says he. "The illustrious
and Illuminating Torchy! Don't tell me
you've just bought the estate!"
"Would it matter to you who owned
it," says l, "if you wanted to use it bad?"
"Such cruel suspicions!" says he. "Sir,
my permit"
He's got it, straight enough-a note
to the lodge-keeper, signed by Mrs. Ver-
non Markley, and Stain that the I'm
excelled Film Company was to have the
courtesy of the grounds any afternoon
between the 18th and 25th.
"You see," explains Whitley, we're
staging an old English costume piece, and
this Greek theater of Mrs. Markley's just
fits in. Our president worked the deal

for U.S. And we've got to do thousand
feet between now and five o'clock. Not
in the same line, are you?"
And he glances towards our crowd,
that's pilin' out of the cars and gain
puzzled towards us.
"Do we look it?" says 1. "No; what
we was plannin' to pull off here was
weddin'. That's the groom there-my
boss, Mr.. Robert Ellins."
"Bob Ellins" says Whitley. "Whe-e-ew!"
"Mrs. Markley must have forgot" says
1. "Makes it kind of awkward for us,
though"
"But see here," says Whitley. "A real
wedding, you say? Why, that's odd!
That's our stunt, with merry villagers and
all that stuff. Now, say, why couldn't

"He won't mind anything" says I, $50
long as he can be married merry. He's
leavin' that to me-the whole act"
"By Jove!" says Whitley. "The very
thing, then. Well But who else is
this arriving? Look, coming in, two
motor-buses FULL"
@That's our band" says I.
aGreat!" says Whitley. "Rovelli's, too!
Say, this is going to be a bit of all right!
Have him form 'em on between those
cedars, out of range Now we'll just get
your folks into costume, let our company
trail along as part of the wedding pro-
cession, and shoot the dear public the
real thing, for once. What do you say?"
Course, considerin' how MIR. Robert
had SHE'D at hundred or so spectators,
this lettin' him in on film exchange cir
cult might seem a little raw; but it was
too good chance to miss. Another min
ute, and I'm strollin' over, lookin' bland
and innocent.
"Any hitch?' says Mr.. Robert. Have
we got to the wrong placer"
"Not much," says l. didn't you
tell me to go as far as l liked, so long as
made it merry?"
$50 did, Torchy,' he admits.
"Then prepare to cut loose" says l.
"This way, everybody, and get on your
weddin' clothes!"
FOR second or so Mr.. Robert hangs
back. He glances doubtful at Miss
Hampton. But say, she's good sport.
"Come along, Robert" says she. II
feel sure Torchy has planned something
unique"
didn't dispute her. 1t was all of that.
First we groups the ladies on the south
veranda behind lot of screens, and
Evening star., 1915-09-12

herds the men around the corner. Then .
we unpacks them suitcases of Whitey's
and distributes the things. Such re-
galias, too! What Mr.. Robert draws is
mostly two colored tights, spangled
trunks, a gorgeous cape, peak-toed shoes
of red leather, and sword. Maybe he
didn't look some spiffy in it!
You should have seen Ferdie, though,
with tow-colored wig clapped down over
his ears and his spindle shanks revealed
to a cold and cruel world in pair of
faded pink ballet trousers. For the Rev.
erend Percy they dug out a fuzzy brown
bath-robe with hood, and tied rope
around his waist Me, I'm dolled up in
green tights and a leather coat, and get
bugle to carry.
HOW frisky few freak clothes make
4 = you feel, don't they? MIR. Robert
begins cuttin' up at once, and even
Ferdie shows signs of wantin' to indulge
in frivolous motions, if he only knew how.
When the ladies appear they sure look
stunnin'. Miss Hampton has on fancy
farin' collar two feet high, and skirt
like balloon; but she's star in it Just
the same. Sister Marjorie, who's bit
husky anyway, looks like human hay
stack in that rig. And Vee-well, say,
she'd be a winner in any date costume
you could name.
Meanwhile Whitley has posted his
camera men in the shrubbery, where they
can get the focus without bein' seem
Say, l don't know how them early
English parties used to put it over when
they got together for mad, gladstone
romp on the greensward, but if they had
anything on us they must have been
double-jointed. For, with Mr.. Robert
and Miss Hampton skippin' along hand
in hand, Wee and me keepin' step behind,
a couple of movie ladies rushin' the Rev.
erend Percy over the grass rapid, and
the other couples with arms linked, doin'
fancy steps to a jingly fox-trot-well, take
it from me, it was gay doin's.
And when we'd galloped around over
the lawn until we'd punched for the we'd
din picture in front of this Greek thea
ter effect, the Reverend Percy had barely
breath enough left to go through his
lines. He does, though, with Mr.. Rob-
ert addin' joshin' remarks; and we winds
up by givin' the bride and groom three
rousin' cheers and peltin' 'em with roses
as they makes run through the double
line we forms.
Yep, that was some weddin, if l do
say it. And the sit-down luncheon

skimpy affair, even though
we did spring an extra
number on 'em offhand.
For the boss insists on
goin' just as we are, in
our costumes, and luggin'
along all the movie peo-
pie. The reckless way he
buys fizz for 'em, too!
And, by the time the
party breaks up, Whitley
Weeks is so full of graft
tude and enthusiasm and
other things that he near
bubbles over.
"Torchy," sayshe, wiring
in my hand fraternal, "you
have given my company
the time of their lives.
They're all strong for you.
