Use to New Jersey Supreme Court
Against Overindulgence.

New York. March 2.-Oswin Jerome
|O'Brien. a wealthy resident of Jersey
City, has pledged his fortune of NN,1S
to remeain on the water wagon" FOR
from two to four years. He has filed the

Judge how well he has kept the pledge.
O'Brien inherited most of his estate
which consists OF good securities. Last
December. his wife. Ethel d. O'Brien,
started proceedings to have his estate
placed in charge Of n committee upon the
ground that his indulgence in liquor I'M
fitted him to handle his own check book.
The parties interested discontinued to
iIrcompetency proceedings after arriving
q: this novel compromise.
OBrien agreed to place his fortune in
trust In the hands OF the Empire Trust
Company. II at the end of two years the
Supreme Court decides he has kept his
pledge to refrain from the excessive use
or over indulgence in spirituOus liquors.
the trust is to terminate. If not, the trust
is to continue two more years. Then the
court is again to judge. II OBrien has
kept the pledge he is to have full con-
troll of his estate. II not. the trust is to
continue during his lifetime.
In the meantime O'Brien is to receive
five ciGhths OF the income and his wife
and son to have the remainder.

KNOCKING

Put the hammer in the locker;
Hide the sounding board likewise;
Anyone can be a knocker;
Anyone can criticize.
Cultivate a manner winning,
Though il hurts your face TO
smile,
And seems awkward in the begin
ming,
Be a booster for a while.
Let the blacksmith do the pound
ing:
That's the way he draws pay:
You don't get a cent for bounding
Saint and sinner night and day.
Just for solid satisfaction,
Drop a kind word in the slot,
And I'll warn't you'll get action
On your effort on the spot.
Kindness always beats kicking;
Mirth is better than a frown,
Don't waste your time picking.
Flaws with bros who are down
And II isn't distressing,
II you give little boost
To the man whom fate is pressing
When the chick comes TO roost.

WHAT ABOUT THE MArTREssl

One Of the nurses Of the state
tuberculosis Commission went re-
Gently to visit a family where. three
days before, there had been a death
from consumption. She found a
moving van taking away from the
house the bedding and mattress on
which the suffered had long lain
and had died. On inquiry, she
found that this furniture and mat
tress were To be sold to another
family who. in ignorance OF their
danger. were buying il "at their
own risk" Nothing will more
surely spread consumption from one
family to another than the distri-
button OF bedding and mattresses
used by the victim Of the disease.
There are three points to this
little story. First, intelligent, hui
name people will not spread sick
ness TO others by selling furniture
and bedding following case OF
contagious disease in the family.
Second, il you are poor and feel that
