POOR LITTLE OLD NEW YORK"

conferred; perhaps in themselves so at
tenuated as to be unconscious of the
rest of the country, which they either
take for granted or misinterpet.
Hence it is that the vaccinations of
the New York newspapers, otherwise
the newsiest and best written, so often
go astray. This is especially true of
their political forecasts. Keeping in
touch chiefly, if not solely, with Wash
ington-the seat of transformation no
less than of government-they rarely
see anything clearly until after it has
happened. But, become a habit, it
embraces every topic of speculation
from literature to gastronomy, an air
of finality the distinguishing feature
of observations, too often ill-digested
and inflated.
There is no cure for vanity, one
might say an unconscious vanity,
which does not rise to the dignity Of
an infirmity. 1t is rather amusing than
reprehensible. We may see it-even
made not of it, yet not be disloyal to
a certain pride and affection, which
most of us entertain for our "little old
New York" Often we laugh at those
we love. Let "Life" possess its soul
in patience. Send Bacon back to Bos-
ton and beans. Tell Calder to be
happy in Brooklyn, the dormitory of
Dreamland. McCombs will make a
splendid New York representative in
the senate of the United States.

Beaver Falls, Pa, Sept. 16.-Love's
young dream was almost shattered for
Roman Williams, 90 years old, and
Miss Cynthia Smith, 78. And "papa"

When Caleb heard that his blush

the kinks of his 90 years, loaded his
squirrel gun with rock salt, mounted
an old mule and was off for the
court house.
He persuaded young Williams
with two loads of rock salt in the
fIanks and right smash to the jaw
to call off the ceremony. Cynthia
is still in Mysteries.

$4,000 to Rebuild Bridges and Roads

In response to a call OF the
county commissioners, q large
number Of representative citizens
from different parts OF Caldwell
met in mass meeting in the court
house Monday at l o'clock to
consider methods and plans for
building and repairing the coun-
ty bridges and roads which were
destroyed by the recent floods.
Mr.. j. L. Nelson was made chair

Catawba is now in operation,
but the service is inadequate.
The approximate cost OF the
bridges which have been washed
away was estimated at about
$19,O00.00, but it is believed
that the high price OF material
will make the cost OF rebuilding
twice as much as original cost.

Prophecies.

Prof. Bert Reese OF New York,
said to be a noted oracle "the ge.
nuineness of whose clairvoyant
powers and cosmic insight is
vouched for by hard-headed men
in the various professions and in
the fields OF science, philosophy,
Psychology, education and busi-
ness," according to report, has
delivered himself OF the following
prediction:
That the present world.war will
come to an end September 7th,
1916;
That the United States will
have war with Japan three years
from now;
That Wilson will be elected for
a second term;
That Henry Ford will follow
Wilson in the presidential chair
and will serve longer than any
previous President.
The prediction that the war
will end a month hence is COM
forting to the public generally;
the prediction that Woodrow
Wilson will be reelected is COM
forting to Democrats and simply
confirms their belief. In fact
most of them will say that it re-
quires no peculiar insight into
future events to make that pre-.
diction. The prophecy OF a war
with Japan three years hence is
very discomforting, but it WILDE
water on the wheels of the pre-
paredness folks. The prediction
that Henry Ford will follow vii.
son as President and will serve
longer than any other President,
woich means that he will be rec
lected for more than one term, is
calculated to cast doubt on all
the prophecies OF Seer Reese, fol
no matter how high an opinion
one has of Mr.. Ford, he has SC
far failed to disclose qualities
that make him presidential size
