say there was no sickness"

ADJUTANT GENERAL DEAD.

Adjutant General Wilbur Fisk Sad
Ter, Jr., head of the New Jersey Ma
tional Guard, died 500 after mid
night Saturday from a heart attack
at the home of his brother, Judge
Sylvester B. Sadler, Carlisle, Pa.
General Sadler suffered a breakdown
early in August, following an attack
of ptomaine poisoning in June, just
before the stress of mobilization at
Sea Grit, which enabled the Jersey
troops to report first of the state mil
tia to be ready for border service.
General Sadler was one of the owners
and directors of the Atlantic County
Water Co. of Pleasantville.

When Cats Mere Sacred.

Scientists consider that the cat was
introduced originally into Egypt from
the south and that the credit of do
.mesticating 1t belongs entirely to the
inha bitants of that country. 1t Is for
tunate that the cat found It's way into
Europe at the time of the Roman SUI
premacy, which, like other ~polytheistic
systems, was in religious matters at
least tolerant. Had it been confined
to Egypt till the iconoclastic intrusion
of the Moslems it might have been
e%xtirpated as a pagan object of wor-
ship. The Egyptians seem to have
kept their cats in vast Enclosures, and
1t is perhaps a trait of heredity which
causes them to remain SO faithful to
a house in which they are domesti-
Gated. Whenever a house caught fire
the chief care of the neighbors was to
save the cats. The men and women
might be burned in the ruins, but the
cats were to be saved at all risks.
When a cat died a natural death every
inmate of the house shaved his eye
brows, and when a dog died they shay
ed all over.-Chambers' Journal

A MODEL COMM UNITY.

Down among the mountains of Ten
nessee, high on the Cumberland Table
lands, lies the little town of Cllfty. 1t
is Just a little mining town, peopled
by a hardy, industrious set of people,
but it is showing to the world how
neighbors and friends may dwell to-
gether in unity"
We have said that it is a mining town,
but it is more; that the people are
hardy and Industrious, but they are
more; they have the true community
spirit-they are real NElGHBORS.
This little town has conceived and
put into force some community plans
that might well be copied by other
towns. Of course almost every fam
lily in the town own and c~ultivates its
own garden and "truck" patches, but
this is not all. A few years ago the
mine superintendent, a man of consid-
cradle learning and of a progressive
spirit, conceived the plan of having all
the citizens of the town own and cul-
tivate a small tract of land In COM
mon. Five or six acres were first
bought and cultivated as a "communl-
ty farm" The result was a pro
nounced success, and each year there
after the town added to its holdings
until this past season it had about one
hundred acres under cultivation on
the Community" plan, and the people
their intention of branching
out still further.
Now there would be nothing out of
the common in this if the experiment
had not developed some gratifying re-
suits.
First, they discovered that instead
of fifteen or twenty families (about
the number interested in the com
munity") each having to W and
maintain a team, three or four teams
were amply sufficient. +,
Again they discovered that instead
of fifteen or twenty sets of agricultu-
raj implements being needed, only
three or four of each kind were neces-
sary, and of some, only one-a great
saving all must admit. Each stock
holder bears his pro rata share of ex-
pense and furnishes his pro rata m
cunt of labor.
Briefly, the plan has proven a sue
cess that the community now has its
own silo blooded hogs and cattle, and
last year their exhibits led all others
at their county fair.
But these are not all of the results.
The close business association neces-
sary in the successful working out of
the plans has developed a spirit of
community brotherhood that is a
pleasure to witness. In this little
town is exemplified a typical brother
hood of man. The welfare and COM
fort of the most humble is as careful
ly looked after as that of the most
wealthy. They have a splendid
school, church, Sunday school, and re-
Gently a c~ommodious club house has
been erected that is proving a power
for good to both young men and older
ones.
We have briefly sketched the re-
suits of this community plan of coop
Grafton as showing what a true COM
munity spirit will accomplish. Many
features of interest have necessarily
been omitted from this article from
lack of space. But should any other
community desire to know more of
their workings, a letter addressed to
the postmaster will receive prompt
and courteous answer and full infor-
nation will be given of plans that
cannot fail to benefit any community.

ANGER.

Ever stop to consider how foolish
is anger-how useless?
Not only this but anger weakens
and unnerves and renders US unfit for
battle, be that battle of the brain or
the Drawn.
Ever watch two professionals spar?
See the c~lean-cut exhibition of skill
and science as each receives and re-
turns blow for blow. But wait till
one becomes angry. Gone is all that
fine science and in its place is the
brute lust of battle. Now see how
terribly ~unprepared is the angry man
to stand before his smiling adversary.
Passion driven and furious, he is an
easy mark, and his defeat is foretold
from the beginning. Again and again
the scientific blows of his cool and
quiet opponent beat down his guard
and are driven to vital parts of his
person, and blind with passion he is
powerless for defense, to say nothing
of ~offense.
And as in the sparring ring, so in
the larger circles of life. The mar
who can with a smiling face and
stout heart meet the blows of life is
armed for the fray and victory is his.
The shafts of opposition, of envy. of
malice, of hatred, roll from him as
the water from the back of a duck.
He is impervious to attack. He is
unconquerable. :,
Does your temper give way under
the annoyances and vexations of life?
Then stop-back up-get a fresh grip
on yourself.
Remember, anger never conquers
any but the heart that harbors it.
Smile!

CLAIMS In Season.

ALAN COCKTAILS.-A1ix together
equal parts of Worcestershire
sauce, vinegar, ho~rseradish, lemon
juice and tomato ketchup. Allow five
teaspoonfuls of the mixture-one of
each ingredient-and eight clans to
each person.
The CLANS can be arranged on their
own shells ON shaved ice on deep
plates, with the sauce in the center
In q little glass dish for the purpose
or in a green or red pepper shell. Or
the cocktail can be served in long STEM
med glasses, the dressing poured over
the CLAIMS. Or CLANS and dressing can
be placed in tiny seooped out toma-
toes.
Clam Broth.-This Is another deiecta-
BILE thing to serve on warm days. 1t
should, of course, be either piping hot
or else chilled on the ice. But even
piping hot it is so clear. so thin and
so refreshing that it seems actually
cooling.
To make it chop fine two dozen
clans. Add to them d pint of cold
water, a thin slice of onion and a dash
of pepper. Let it just reach the boil
ing point, strain, bring again to the
boiling point and add a tablespoonful OF
butter and a tablespoonful of chopped
parsley.
Clam Soup.-Wash thirty clans thor
oughly and put them in a steamer over
boiling water until they open. Remove
the clans from the shells, saving all
the Juice. Chop fine, strain the juice
and put the clans back into 1t. Cream
together a ~teaspoonful each of butter
and -four and thin with a little warm
milk. Add to the CLANS with a cupful
of hot milk. Season to taste, adding
a little chopped celery and serve with
c%routons.
Steamed C~lams.-Scrub until clean
two quarts of clans and place them In
a steamer over boiling water. When
they begin to open they are ready to
serve. Be careful not to lose any of
the juice in removing the clans from
the steamer. Have ready some melt
ed butter and place a small dish Of 1t
at each place. with a plate heaped with
clans.

Tennis as an American Game.


Tennis Is as old as the hills, baslcally,
though it has undergone many changes
for the better. 1t was played by the
Greeks and Romans under the names
of "%sphairisis" and "pila." AS 'paume''
it is mentioned in the Arthurian ro-
mances and in the earlier records of
the dark ages. In the fifteenth century
it enjoyed great favor in France, and
in England from the sixteenth century
to the present time. AS it seems to be
more or less mixed up with about ev-
cry sort of race, it may be called truly
American, especially as we have pour
ed it into our melting pot to boil and
simmer and have seasoned 1t to u
liking. But as an adopted pastime we
can hardly call it oup national game,
as national seems to imply home grown
or native. Yet we have developed ten
mis-, speeded It up, perfected 1t, Amer
icanized it so successfully that the
game as we play it today typifies the
restlessness, energy and competition
of our national spirit.-Norman Harsell
In Countryside Magazine.
