Geo. HetchIer Owns Another Horse

George Hetchler is happy in the
possession of another horse. After
the one he owned for many years died
last fall he was very much inconven-
fenced by not being able in his Grip
pied condition to get around and do
the work on his small place. A few
weeks ago Warren Shepard of this
city interested himself in circulating
a subscription paper for funds to pur-
chase another horse for him and more
than thirty dollars was subscribed to-
ward the commendable effort, which
with the help of J. H. Morgan and 9TH
ers the amount was brought up to $50.
George now drives the animal, is
putting in crops on his place and is
truly thankful to all who contributed,
especially to Mr.. Shepard, who was
instrumental in bringing about the
result.

When Lincoln Had Few Friends.

In 1864 Lincoln did not possess the
confidence of the Republicans in con
gress. On one occasion an editor visit
ing Washington asked Senator Thad-
deus Stevens to introduce him to some
members of congress who were favor
able to Lincoln's reelection. Stevens
led him to the desk Of Mr.. Arnold of
Illinois. There said he. sis the only
Lincoln member of congress that |
know" Stevens himself regarded Lin
coin as incompetent and weak. Hen
ry Wilson (afterward vice president)
spoke of him as politically a failure.
Greeley had a low opinion Of his abil-
ity. His personal friends, such as
Washburn. Raymond and Thurlow
Weed, believed his reelection an i'm
possibility. Even Lincoln doubted it.

MINISTER'S HEAR
WILDWOOD PASTOR
Uraes CIergymen TO Take Scrip
lures to HebreWs-COnsider
Block Meetings

Pastors of Trenton and vicinity were
disappointed Monday when they learn
ed that "Billyn Sunday would not adj
dress the meeting of the Ministerial
Union in the rooms OF the Inter-Church
Federation, at 216 East State street.
The Rev. M. Arthur Spots, secre-
tary Of the union, received word that
because Of the strenuousness OF the
present campaign, 1t was necessary
that Mr.. Sunday take at least one day
in a week for rest.
The pastors were addressed by the
Rev. DR.. H. H. H%allowell, Of Wild
wood. He spoke principally along the
lines of the pastor making great efforts
to convey the Scriptures to the Hebrew,
declaring the time was never more OPP
perfume than the present. DIR. Hal
lowell dealt with the various verses Of
the Bible which speak of the second
coming of Christ. He spoke of the
necessity of the pastors paying particu-
lar attention II these verses and take
the teachings to the Hebrew. DR.. Hal
lowell stated his experience with several
people Of that nationality at the ser
vices at the tabernacle here, saying
they are becoming interested in religion
and their minds are susceptible to the
teachings of Christ.-Trenton Times.

Literary Beginners.

Robert W. Chambers gave this adj
vice to the literary beginner some years
ago, says the London Strand, and it
holds good today:
"Have something to say and learn by
experience how to say it. The impor-
tant thing. to be sure, is something to
say. The trouble with most people
who try to write stories is that they
have nothing to write about. Next,
don't talk about it; do it. A writer can
make his own market.
at is the only way to do. Write
what appeals to you and find a pub
Usher who will take it. Don't go to a
publisher and ask him what he wants.
Make him want what you have to
offer. If it is the real thing you won't
have much difficulty. You will break
into print with your first effort"

brown paper which have been we'll
