The slnews of ar.

On the occasion of the annual en-
campment of a body of militia u .oi
the soldiers, a clerk who lived well al
home, was experiencing much difficulty
In ~disposing of his rations. A fellow
sufferer near by was watching with nc
little amusement the first soldiers at
tempts to F1etcherize a piece of meat
"Any trouble, Tom?- asked the second
soldier sarcastically.
'None In particular" was the re
spouse. Then after a sullen survey OF
the bit of beef he held in his hand. the
amateur fighter observed:
sBir, l now fully realize what peo-
pie mean when they speak of the sin.

One thing is certain, If in such short
time the Wildwood Choral is able to
produce so creditable concert, another
year, starting earlier In the season, they
should be able to produce some of the
great works of the oratorio writers.
Certainly we have the voices and the
leader and both working in harmony
should make for a splendid concert in
1917. A large audience was present
and evidenced their pleasure and ap-
probation by vigorous applause.
Sunday evening the auditorium again
held a very large audience to applaud
Miss Mary Barrett on her second az
pearance during this season. Numer-
GUS encores were demanded and graci-
ously given. Miss Barrett is a charm.
ing woman, sings beautifully, with
splendid breadth of style and authority
and we hope to have her with us again
next summer. Depuis lie jour, from
Charpentier's Louise was beautifully
given, as well as the Elizabeth's Dream
from Tannhauser. To single out any
one song above another Is out of the
question? To all her work she brings
the finished work of the thorough
artist and each song is given Its own
full value.
And as the summer wanes the audi
ences grow more enthusiastic In theil
appreciation. Another year | hope to
be obliged to scour the dictionary to
find words suitable to express the praise
that no doubt will be heaped IN the
heads of all connected with Wildwood
music affairs in 1917. This coming
Sunday evening Miss Kathryn Nc.
Ginley is to sing for us and nc doubt
the auditorium will be packed TO the
doors.
Yours very truly,

likely to spread.

For a moment they pulled them

The appeal was successful.

PRIMARY ELECTION
COST MUCH MONEY

1t cost Robert Bacon and his
friends $64,715 to make his unsuccess-
full effort to win the Republican SEN
atorial nomination in the New York
primaries. The figures are interesting
because they seem to indicate that a
poor man without wealthy supporters
has mighty little chance to carry off
such a prize. The primary system is
responsible for this. 1t involves heavy
expenses, especially in such an ex-
tended field as an entire state, and
only persons of considerable means
can afford the outlay.

of any class that ever graduated at
Englewood. When the high standing
OF the school is taken into consldera-
ton, this is indeed a record to be
proud of. 1t had the best scholastic
average of any class that ever gradu-
ated, 1t furnished to the school some
OF its best athletes, and it was more
original than any. This years Class
Day, Commencement and Senior
Play were the best ever held in the
school. The class is especially proud
to have made this record, because it
will be- the last one to graduate from
the old building.
There were three honor pupils in the
class, an honor pupil being one whose
average for the four years course is
80 per cent. They were:-Robert E.
Eckstein, Norwood, 92.6 per cent. for
seventeen subjects; Robert e. Blue,
Grantwood, 9l.4 per cent. for 10 SUBJ
jects; and Randolph 4. Brown, Pail

OF these three, Eckstein will enter

Brown, Princeton. In addition, there
were forty-four others who received
diplomas.

Lies Greatest Pleasures

What, complaining because you
have to work every day?
You should be thankful that your
health will permit it. y
You should appreciate the fact that
you have steady job.
Thousands to-day are envying
you that you have the strength to
perform your duties daily, and thou
sands of others are considering you
most fortunate that you have place
to work.
The man or woman who has to
work is to be envied.
The man or woman who is looking
for a job is the one who deserves pity.
When you have been thrown out of
employment, and have the experience
of walking the streets is search of q
place to earn enough to provide a
living, then, and then only, can you
appreciate the opportunity you now
have to work every day.
The person who does not have to
work does not enjoy life.
Without work the joy of living has
gone. Such is the penalty of idle
ness.
Be thankful for every day that you
can and do work.

SCHOOL A CREDIT TO THE BOROUGH.

The annual exhibition of the Pail
SADIE Public School took place on
Monday night last, and was a source
of great pleasure to everybody
present.
Miss Maud Brady, principal of the
Palisade school was present, and en-
tered into the joy of living through
listening to the many songs of praise
she heard paid the work of her pupils.
Superintendent Chase was present
and declared himself gratified at the
exhibit. He was all smiles, and said
the Palisade school was not only a
credit to the village, but that in point
of efficiency as primary school
would compare favorably with any in
the country.
Of the exhibition itself, it consist
ed OF hand and headwork OF the
pupils of all grades. OF the various
styles Of work by the pupils as evil
denced by the great mass of things
shown, itwould be impossible to make
individual mention, because all were
So good that list would fill whole
newspaper. There were drawings OF
every conceivable thing, landscapes in
water color, technical line drawings
Of the school building, front eleva-
tions, perspectives, floor plans, etc.
These particular drawings pointed to
certain skill in draughtsmanship
really creditable, and all the more SO
since no pupil was allowed the slight
est assistance in their preparation.
There were, also, specimens Of
needle-craft by the little girls, many
Of which showed the mother-skill SO
essential in every girls ife-work.
The maps and design-drawing
were all good, and some OF the orig
inal compositions were not only well
done, but in child-like Imagination,
showed the blend of color impossible
to obtain from any other source in the
world.
Miss Brady was radiant in smiles
the whole evening, because the
parents showered her with tribute and
praise she SO richly merited. The
school is in good hands, and its pro-
gress should satisfy the most exact
ing. With Indifferent facilities to start
it has Row gfewn to to fine pre-
portions and fine equipment, so that
no one may find fault with it justly.
The addition of a gymnasium on
the west side of the present building
is the greatest need at this time, and
it is to be hoped that the Board of
Education will provide means for
its erection before a great while.

"A lot of righteous indignation has
been aroused around town over the
rowdyism of some of the small boys.
The other day Mrs. Wellman's maid
was stoned and severely bruised by
some of Palisades rising citizens
The boys at first shot off blank car
tridges near her and seeing that she
was badly frightened picked up
small stones and hit her a number
of times. Such conduct is criminal
and the offenders should be properly
punished.

Commencement Of
Englewood High,
Class Of 1916

The commencement exercises of the
Glass of 1916, of Englewood High
School were held last Friday evening
at the Lyceum, Englewood. The ex-
ercises were probably the most re-
markable that were ever held in this
section of the county. In place of the
customary cut and dried proceedings
Shakespearean revival was given.
The evening began with a recita-
ton about Shakespeare and his times,
after which the curtain rose, disclos-
ing the interior of Keats Mermaid
Tavern, that famous gathering place
Of the Elizabethan literary geniuses.
NARROW, Jonson, Fletcher, Shake
speare himself, and Sir Walter
Raleigh appeared in this part of the
program, Robert E. Blue, of Grant
wood, being the poet and Randolph
E. Brown, of Palisade, Raleigh. After
some conversation and few rousing
drinking songs, Richard Burbage, the
famous actor of the day, played by
Este Flagge, of Palisade, appeared,
followed by his troupe. He announced
that two scenes would be given, the
Forest of Arden scene from GAS You
Like It," and the court scene from
"The Merchant of Venice" The pa
irons of the Inn cleared the stage
and sat down to watch the plays.
The acting could hardly have been
improved upon. Este Flagge was
Orlando in the Forest scene, and he
was ably supported. by a fair Rosa
lind and skilled cast, the frivolous
Touchstone, played by Frederick SUIT
phen, being especially we'll presented.
Following this came folk dances by
members of the class, who had been
carefully coached in this line. Then
came the court room scene. It was
almost unbelievable that the char
acters of Portia and Shylock could be
portrayed as they were by amateur
actors. Miss Dorothy w. Butts, as
Portia had so dignifed a bearing, so
mellow voice, such grace of move
ment, and such an intelligent delivery
of her lines, that the comment was
heard on all sides that a better Portia
had not been seen on the professional
stage. AS for Shylock, many people
refused to believe that he was a
school boy. Yet it was George Bam-
man, member of the class, who not
only studied the part and all it's pc
culiarities, but also made himself up
for it. Another dance followed, and
the participants repaired to the dress
ing rooms to prepare for the presen-
tation of diplomas.
The Class of 1916 is considered to
have made the best all around record
