lesson home.
A little money is good thing 10 make
pleasant the path of those We love, and
10 maintain our self-reSpect for outward
niceties. but much money and the striv-
ing therefor is a bane, a grievouS bur
den and generally the more you have
of things the less you have of happiness.
All this has been said by every think
err since the dawn of the world.
But mighty few Of us regard the loss
of job, or of money or of social place
as anything but grievous misfortune.
The loss of these things in themselves
means nothing.
1t may bring the greatest content and
Joy in our lives.
II is merely up to you.
The man who signs for the tainted
and tinseled glories Of the mock stage

stars of the universe are spread freely

mighty.
A sunrise is worth case Of wine any

daylight, so you can get out some morn

That Ihers Is Nothing New Under the
 Sun Aoain Proved.

That Thers Is Nothing New Under the Sun Again Proved.
 Cartoons of the fox trot, the tango and the cabaret were made by Greek artists as far back as the fifth century before Christ, said Dr. David M,, Rob inson, professor of classical arcAaeol- ogy at Johns Hopkins university, in recent lecture at the University of Pennsylvania.
 pr. Robinson referred to the pre- Hellenic versions of modern popular dances while he was elaborating upon love of the Greeks for caricaturing the life of their time upon vases and by means of terra cotta figures. Even the gods were not immune from the scorn of the artists, he said, and the repre- sentation of the gods as dancing upon tables to the music of the double flute and Tyre and drinking heavily was fav5rite device.
 The equivalent of the slang phrase of today, '1 should worry" Dr. Robinson said, may be found in the Greek expres- sion, What does Hippocrates care" an allusion to the day when a Greek jumped upon a three legged table, danced the Attic and Laconian figure, then popular, and finally concluding his hilarious performance by standing upon his head and exclaiming the fore going phrase when reproved by his father-in-law. This incident was pic. tured by vase painter of the day.
 According to Dr. Robinson, the old est joke in history was perpetrated at the same time. The Athenian Joe Mill Ter, who invented it, is unknown, but the witticism gained popular favor at the time and spread even to farof Rome. It was as follows: When is a woman happiest?" "Twice-When she is mated and when she is cremated."
 'The Sases and terra cotta figures of Greece and Rome are the ancestors of the newspaper cartoons and the comic supplements of today" said Dr. Rob inson. "These ancients, who were the forerunners of our present humorous artists, knew that laughter lengthens life and that some of the greatest men were fond of the comic"

any section or any man.
Mr.. Kerwein said it looked like a
fine day for the Republicans, and he
believed they were going to win this
election. We must retrench in Fort
Lee, and the people know it. "The
last year of my administration |
gave you your lowest taxes" he said,
and there were rousing cheers. But
l want still lower taxes" he added,
much lower, and the people are
going to have them"
Mr.. Kerwein's speech was calm,
cool and pointed. He never made a
better one. He was given perfect
attention and applauded vigorously
many times.
Mr.. Corker warned Palisadians
that they hadn't had councilman for
three years, and that if they wanted
one they would have to take theirs,
as they couldn't get one from the
Democrats.
Mr.. A. J. Kirby, of Palisade, for
council, said he had been in the bor-
ough fifteen years. He was for a
clean administration and lower taxes,
and wanted the whole borough pro-
tected.
