Modesty Is a quality mainly notice
able in folks who would lose by hav.
Ing attention called to themselves.
The modestest man we know has
two or three other names on his wait.
ing list. and there are oh. 30 many
places he can't 20 at all.
Greatness is characterized by Q
tendency to efface ones self. This To-
true Of great modesty also. The man
we know who claims the most modes
ty that has effaced itself 80 utterly
II must be very great modesty. One
wouldn't notice that mans modesty
at all unless ones attention were call
ed to 1t, as 1t Is sure to be by the
owner thereof.
The girl with ankles too thick or
too thin Is modest about them. She
doesn't care much what color of hose
che wears and she keeps her skirts
lew. Also IL her neck and shoulders
ere scrawny she thinks these one
more struggle and I am free gowns
are immodest. In fact, she IL sure OF
it. We have It on good authority that
tie homeliest of the Turkish women
are the ones who manage to maintain
the custom OF going about yelled to
the eyes.
Animals are not expected to bs
modest, and think nothing about
those things. SO they are comparative
~ happy. They escape modesty while
t.ey live and hell when they die.
Some people are not modest about
telling of their ability. but are ex-
tremely modest about displaying II af.
ter they get the job. Their modesty
vanishes again, temporarily. at each
pay day.
Synonyms for modesty are; self de.
tense. timidity ,laziness hope Of at.
tracing attention to oneself by pre-.
tending to be SO. etc.
We know absolutely nothing Of
modesty except by hearsay.-Troul

The American party names, ''Repnb-

Echoes From the Fourth

The tiremen OF Carney Point deserve
credit for the efforts they put forth in
preparing the Fourth OF July celebration.
1t meant II great deal of hard and some
unpleasant work, particularly the solicit
i"g OF funds from some close. fl listed Car
neYites. The doing of this and many
other things necessary to prepare u pro-
gram worthy OF the occasion necessitated
no small amount Of work, for which The
ti'emen merit our thanks and all the co
operation We gave them.
There were features, however, in con-
nectiOn with our celebration which de.
tracted very much from the lull elin,-

the weaknesses OF men and proapers and

fenseless women and children. A high
wayman is a gentleman worthy of respect
compared to him who engages in this
mean business.
In celebrating the Fourth of July we
commemorate the high ideals and the
great sacrifices made by the founders OF
Ibis illustrious republic. They were Con-
scious OF and faithful to the gIeat pIimci-
pie that 'RighteOusness exalteth a ia

Bloomer Girls Defeated

The Metropolitan Bleomer Girls met
defeat at the hands of PENIS Grove last
Saturday in an interesting game by the
score of 12-11. About one thousand peo-
pie witnessed the game, the largest
crowd that ever turned out to a ball game
in Penns Grove.
The girls put up a very creditable game
when the sex is taken into consideration.
When the game was ready to be called 1t
was discovered that there were only six
girls, so MeGee and Callahan had to be
borrowed from Penns Grove. White, the
other man who played centretield, came
with the team. In the seventh one of
their team arrived, coming on a later boat,
thus making out very near a whole team
of girls.
Miss Carr pitched a very good game
for the visitors, having two strikeouts and
no base on balls up to the seventh inning,
when the batteries were changed. Miss
Hencke, the catcher, was a crackeF-jack
behind the bat and also with the stick. Ii
all played as good an all around game as
she did, Penns Grove would have had TO
play much better ball than they did.
Care and Hencke were the battery for
the Bloomer Girls until the seventh in
ming when Elshand Kelly fell in love and
became the battery for the Bloomer Girls.
Miss Seidler, the first basewoman, turn
ed into a pitcher and with McGee catch
ing, comprised the battery for Penns
Grove. With the change of pitchers and
the score eight to six in favor of the girls,
Penns Grove was playing mumbly peg
hustle to capture the game.
The Bloomer Girls scored the first run
9u Tho EuzN Ea-s-- - D. ~ -
posely poor playing. Penns Grove soon
went in the lead and scored a run in the
second and third innings, but this lead
did not last long. In the fourth with one
out, Seidier got a clean hit to left field.
She and the next six women scored, while
Penns Grorve was playing mumbly peg.
After ali nine had batted and only one
out, Fish thought he had better settle
down to some real pitching and the next
two batters up brought the inning t, an
end.
Penns Grove thought better of its clean
record than it did of letting the girls walk
away with the game and leaving a black
mark on its records, With Horner and
Hunter on base Kelly smashed cut a
three-bagger to centre field, scoring Horn
er and Hunter. Kelly and Fish also
scored. leaving Penns Grove only tive
runs behind. -ssVma
The girls made a spectacular sight in
their blooms, caps and some in regulation
baseball shoes, but ever with spikes in
their shoes they were not very fast on
their feet, which showed when Biddle got
a ground, and instead of throwing to first
he threw to Horner and thence to FIRST
base. The ball reached first long before
the runner. But what can you expect OF
those of the female sex? Not as much az
you do of men lin the baseball line).
