Truth

As in seven tints OF varlegated light
Breaks the lone simmer Of the lucid white :
As the seven tints that paint the Iris bow

So Truth in many-colored splendor plays
Now on the eye enchanted with the rays
Now In one luster gathering every beam,
And floods the World with light-a single
Stream!

WITHHELD ON
MOTOR SPEED INFRACTION

On complaint of James C. Vickers,
Thomas Hutchinson was arraigned
last Wednesday night before Mayor
Adams, charged with exceeding the
speed limit in Pleasantville. He
pleaded not guilty and after the tes-
timony vas given decision was with
held pending a conference by the

One Misery of AngIo-lndian Life.

Every night at dinner the Anglo-In-
dian holds a kind of levee. The in
sects which attend dance gayly round
the lamp, and one has to watch ones
plate and glass carefully lest some Of
the insects should dance into them.
There is one insect-a little. fat. brown,
shining creature-whieh emits the
worst odor in the world. If one of
these touches your food the whole is
tainted and rendered inedible. You
dare not kill these pests. for if one be
squashed the whole room becomes fill
ed with its disgusting smell and is
uninhabitable for the next half hour.
So these abominable insects fly about
with impunity. while the poor Anglo
Indian mus perforce look ~helplessly
on and inwardly sigh 'spero meliora."

VICTORS IN THE SECOND GHME
WITH UP-ShoRE BOYS BY THE
SCORE OF 8 TO s..

The Tuckerton base ball team came
to town last Saturday "all set" for
another easy victory over the Regu-
lars, but their calculations went as
tray and they were forced to be con-
tent with the minor portion of an 8-5
score.
Mclean did mound duty for the
Regulars and allowed but five hits,
effecting II ~strikeouts, while Is hits
were registered by the local boys.
Ike Nelson woke up in this game and
assumed his old stride, making three
hits-a homer, a two-bagger and a
single. E. Sanders, Peterson and Nc
Lean each gathered two safeties.
The local fans were greatly graft
fed to see the local prides redeem
themselves, by downing the pitcher
who subdued them in the first game.
