ASSEMBLYMAN LAKE
PRESENTED WITH RELIC
Father Gives Him Part of Uniform
Worn by Grandfather

William Lake, of Ocean City, has
presented his son, Assemblyman
Mark Lake, Cape County's representa-
tive IN the popular branch of the Leg
islature, with a sword and part of the
uniform worn by the father OF the
senior Mr.. Lake when a member of
the State Militia in Atlantic County
about 20 years ago.
The name of the grandfather of AS
semblyman Lake was also Mark, and
he, too, served in the State Legislature,
his term covering the years from 1847
TO l849 and he representing Atlantic
county.
The portion of the uniform present.
ed to Assemblyman Lake consists of
a red coat, minus one of its epaulets,
and a white vest. They are we'll pre-
served. His grandfather was in the
militia for a number of years, and the
members Of the organization drilled at
a fort in Somers Point. He was a
blacksmith by trade and ironed many
vessels in those days.
Assemblyman Lake also has receiv-
ed fl. m his father another curiosity in
the shape of a large ~eggholder and
made of lignum vitae.
There still remains in it some now
dery-like substance. This, in the GUS
tom of the old days, was shaken over
the writing on letters or legal papers
and thus was the ink dried, the peo-
pie then not having blotting pads in
gea eral use in the country sections.
Assemblyman Lake will have a sill
yer plate placed around the relic. On
1t he will have inscribed the name of
his grandfather and the date of bis
term in the Legislature and also his
own name and the date Of his term in
the Legislature. -Pleasantville Press.

HARNDEM AND HIS CAR.
How tho Great Express Business of
This Country Originated.

The express business is a peculiarly
American institution. 1t started in
1880, when William f. Harnden, a Bos-
ment in the New York and Boston
newspapers announcing n new venture.
Harnden had been a railway conduc-
tor, but his health was not good, and
he began cudgeling his brains to de-
wise some plan for making more money
with less work. He hit upon the idea
of carrying parcels between New York
and Boston. AS a railroad man he
could ride free on the trains between
those cities.
The newspaper advertisement, which
was the foundation of a business
which made great fortunes for many
people, ran as follows:
civilian f. Harnden has made ar
rangements with the Providence rail
road and the New York Boat company
to run a car through from Boston to
New York, and vice versa, four times a
week. He will accompany the car him
self, take care of the small packages
thai may be intrusted to his care and
see them safely delivered"
Harnden gave his office addresses as
l Wall street, New York, and 8 Court
street, Boston.
Harnden's car was purely a flight
of the Imagination. but it was prophet
ic of what was to come when express
cars were to be operated on all the
railroads of North America. A valise
vas quite large enough to hold all the
parcels intrusted to Harnden's care on
his early trips. Tfarnden lost 5000 in
his venture in the first six months.
Then, thanks to persistent newspa-
per advertising, the tide turned. Harm.
den made himself useful to the New
York and Boston newspapers by deliv-
ering to them the latest news. in ad-
vance of the mails. He was thus not
only "the original eXpressman." but a
news bureau in embryo.-New York

TAIL OF THE KING CRAB.
It's q Real Life Preserver When the
Animal Turns Turtle.


The king crab uses his tail for a life
preserver. Probably you can't imagine
what a sea animal wants of a life
p%reserver. If you watch this creature
long enough, either along the beach
or in an aquarium, you'll find out. He's
got a shell on his back and a long,
spiny tail that looks as if it could be
used as a weapon of defense.
Sometimes the king crab gets turn
ed over on his back. His feet are all
curled up In the shell, so he can't
touch anything with them, therefore
when he's on his back he's helpless.
This is where the long tail comes in
as a life preseryer. The king crab
sticks the point of his tail in the sand
arch with his body. Then he swings
sidewise, back and forth, until with
one final effort he fops himself over
right side up at last.
Along the Jersey coast they reckon
the beginning of summer by the king
crabs. About the time of the full
moon in June, they say, the king crabs
come up on the sand to lay their eggs.
Men and boys go down on the beach
with wagons and shovels and scoop
up the crabs by the bushel. Then they
feed them to the country.
1t is interesting to know, too, that
the Indians used to point their arrows
with the sharp, spiny tail of the king
crab. They used the shell for a ladle.
The French have given a name to the
crab-casserole fsh-because the shell
looks like a saucepan. = Philadelphia

MACK AND MORAN TELL
OF REMNANT TEAMS IN
N. A. BASEBALL NUMBER

Connie Mack and Pat Moran are the
star contributors to The North Ameri-
cans twelfth annual baseball supple
ment, which appears Sunday, May q.
These famous managers, in specially
prepared signed articles, discuss the
building of championship baseball
teams, a subject which they should
know, since between them they have
produced in the last fifteen eason
more pennant winners than any other
city has had. In that interval
Philadelphia has had six
cham piOnships in the American
League and enc in the Nat onal, as
we'll a. three worlds titles. Father
Penn, as The city of baseball suprem-
acy, is the subject of the attractive first
page in colors, the work of Artist
Morris Pancoast.
James G. Isaminger, The North
Americans noted baseball humorist,
presents an entertaining article in
which he deals with The foibles and
personality of the fan. Joe Cunning
ham, %cartoonist and conductor of the
Bubbles Puzzle Department., illustrates
Mr.. Isaminger's articles. George M.
Graham, sports editor of The North
American, draws a picture of what
happens on the bench during the
excitement of big league contests, all
the heat of play, the grim humor, the
lightning flash of the players minds,
all being brought wildly to the mind
of the reader. Ro,s e. Kaufman is
there strong with a couple of pages of
school and college baseball.

Tennis Notes

The first tennis tournament for the
First County Tennis League in New
Jersey was conducted on the Wild
wood city courts on Saturday last,
when the racquet wielders from Wild
wood and Middle township High
schools met to decide the single and
double championships of the lower sec
ton of Cape May County.
The result was an even break, as
Miss Ross, of Middle township, defeat
ed Miss Goslip, of Wild wood, in the
singles 6 ]; 6 0; 90. Miss Goslin played
q plucky game aud did very well In
scoring, as Miss Ross was much taller
and could out-reach her opponent. An
Interesting feature of this match is the
fact that both players are first year
pupils and will have three more years
to try and win the county tourna-
ments.
In the doubles Miss Geisenberger and
Miss Bright defeated the Middle to wn-
chip contingent, consisting of Miss
Holmes and Miss Hand, by winning
two out OF three sets 6 4; 6-2; ga. In
the last set Middle township put in
their substitute, as Miss Hand was
played out. A sensational feature of
the play, which will be remembered
by all students present, was the "lob
ball" that Miss Geisenberger hit with
her back to the net. Miss Bright also
played a good game for the winners.
While Middle and Wild wood were
struggling for the championship of the
southern section, Ocean City and Up
per township (girls) were battling al
Ocean City for supremacy in the upper
section of the county.
Miss Ross, of Middle township, in
the singles and Misses Bright and
Geisenberger in the doubles, will meet
the leaders of the upper section for the
county cham pionship on Saturday,
May 9th, at a court to be designated
by the tennis committee of the county,
consisting of County Superintendent
Hand, Professor Bailets, of Middle
township, and High School Principal
Myers, of Wildwood.

A Revival of FouIards.

The revival of foulards, which is ,ru-
mored for nearly every summer sea-
son, seems now about to prove a GER
tainty. Not only have charming pat
terms in the old fashioned material of
this name been imported, but there
are also new and similar textiles that
pleasing of these new foulards are the
so called "Chippendale prints" says
Vogue. These have designs that are
very unusual, and the combinations of
color are most effective. The new
"mikado" prints are something ON the
order of the Japanese silks.

Rough on the Surgeon.

In the ancient life of Mesopotamia
the surgeon failed to occupy the ex-
allied position accorded him in the
present age, and to discourage him
from making rash operations severe
penalties were fixed in case of unsuc-
cessful ones. If the patient died the
surgeons hands were cut OFF. In the
case Of q slave he had to replace him
with one Of equal value. If the slaves
eye was lost he had to pay half the
value of the slave. If a veterinary
surgeon were successful he received
one-siXth of n shekel, but if the animal
died he had to pay one-sixth of its
value.
