Fort Lee Honors
Youths Memory

Early on the morning of Easter
one of Fort Lees favorite and most
promising young men, William
Stryker Mannix, aged twenty-five
years, met his death, peacefully in
the bosom of his family. He was the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Mannix
and just few hours before his tax.
ing away was talking cheerfully with
his brother Edward At half pas
six he changed rapidly for the worse
and at half past seven he was dead
Four days before, William had com
planned of feeling badly, and the
family had insisted at once on hi.
not going to business, and his sister
had called in the doctor. William hat
left his post at the American
Theater, New York, where he was
cashier, the night before at half pas
eleven for home. The doctor, wher
called in to see the patient on Wed
nesday morning, had declared TIT
case a severe attack of grippe. His
family took every care of the sufferer
and were never at any time unduly
alarmed over his condition; so thai
when on Easter morning his hear
suddenly ceased it's functions, his sud
den taking off came as terrible
shock to those about him.
William Mannix was held in high
esteem by the whole community. HI
was model in conduct and manners
and, if anything, was over-ambitious
and earnest in his business and hi!
avocations. He had made a reputa
ton for his speciality in dancing, Civ
ing exhibitions and lectures at notet
New York functions. 1t was part q
his plan to start a class in dancing II

The funeral of the young man wa.
on last week, Wednesday, the pro
cession leaving the house at ter
o'clock in the morning for the Catholic
Church of the Holy Angels where
Mass for the dead was said. Tht
funeral procession, which was quite
long, there being nearly score Of
carriages, then proceeded to the Edge
water cemetery near the Church Of
the Mediator, where the body was
inferred in the Stryker plot. The
floral offerings were unusually large
and handsome, three barouches in the
procession being filled with them. NJ
happening in the community in re-
cent years has caused such an ex.
preston of regret, coincidence hav.
ing been received by the family from
host of people.

AN EASY PROBLEM

At social function the other after
noon reference was made to mental
arithmetic, and Miss Jean Webster
authoress and dramatist, recalled q
little story along that line.
Some time ago party named Jones
was rambling along the boulevard
when he met friend. Immediately
he clutched the friends hand in a
cordial grasp and patted him on the
back.
Gust the man l wanted to see,''
he effusively exclaimed. 81 am a
little short and want to PROFOUND to
you sum in mental arithmetic"
Gail right, old fellow" good
naturally smiled the friend. "Let
her Slide"
"Well, then," responded the other,
suggestively, Suppose you had ten
dollars in your pocket and l asked
you for five, how much would you
have left?"
"That's an easy one," was the
quick rejoinder of the friend. 81 would
have ten dollars" philadelphia Tele-
graph.

PAPA THE VICTIM.

Little Eva May was only baby
girl, but she jibbed when bedtime
came around, as children will.
Finally, father offered to lie down
ON the bed till she fell asleep, and
carried her off, greatly to mothers
delight.
The minutes passed-ten, fifteen,
twenty and at the end of half an
hour mother began to wonder what
had happened to father. She con-
tinued with her sewing, but in a few
moments the silence was broken by
a pit-a-pat of naked feet.
Nearer came the steps, and an in
slant later Eva May stood in the door
way, finger raised for silence.
FLUSH, hush, mummy" she said
give got daddy off to sleep at last!

COFFEE FOR TWO.

General Suggestion for Coffee Making.
Always scald the coffee pot imme-
diately before using. Keep the inside
of the coffee pot perfectly clean and
leave the cover up and place in sun
shiny window. Never let coffee stand
more than five minutes after it is
boiled, before serving.
The flavor of the coffee may be i'm
proved by heating the ground coffee
carefully just before making.
