MADE WRONG GUESS.

The question of the dongs of the
ouija board was discussed recently
by several women. All declared it
had told them the very things they
wanted to know, and that it was a
wonderful invention. And the only
man in the party put damper on
the talk by saying that the ouija
board came under the head Of phre-
nologists, fortune-tellers, palm read
ers and spirituaIists "When Charles
NJ. Schwab was young man he was
told by a phrenologist," said the
man. "'You will never ye leader in
initiative. You lack trust in your
own powers. You should never try
anything big, or anything that re
quires leadership. Keep well in the
ranks and you will be safe. New

Philadelphia, a newspaper wo-
man who has many interesting
things to tell about her expert

Less Trolley Cars After This.

After this week the trollcv
cars on the Bucks County Rail
way system will be run on a two
hour Roadway ON the Lambert
ville-New Hope division; the
Yardley-NewtoWn and the Bris-
tol-Doylestown lines.
The first car will arrive here
in the morning at $40 and
leave at 7 o'clock. The next
cars will leave at 9 and II am,
l, 3, 5, 6, Z and 9 p. M, and IL
midnight.
Since the present rate of 45c.
has been in effect to Trenton a
great deal of business has gone
over to the Belvidere Delaware
Railroad, whose fare is SO cts,
and whose trains run both ear
lier and later than the trolley.
1t is the first time since the
road was put in operation in
1904 that cars have been run
less frequently than once an
hour.
The new schedule will change
all the mails eastbound from
New Hope to Lambertville, but
will not affect those bound in
the opposite direction.

m STYLE TRULY DEMOCRATIC
How the President and Mrs. Wilson
Took Their Outing on Those
GasIess Sundays.

On gasless Sundays, when the
president and Mrs. Wilson went
driving, Washington witnessed an
unusual spectacle Ordinarily the
president drives in an automobile,
followed by two motorcycle police
men and another automobile filled
with secret service men. On a gasless
Sunday the procession was made up
as follows:
The president and Mrs. Wilson
in an open landau, behind a fine
team Of horses.
The two motorcycle men riding
bicycles.
A handsome electric brougham,
containing two secret service men.
An old-fashioned "sea-going
hack, drawn by pair of veteran llv-
cry stable nags, which contained the
remainder of the secret service men.
When they climbed hills, the
horses attached to the presidential
carriage walked at dignifed pace,
while the two policemen on bicycles
hitched behind on either side to save
themselves the labor of pedaling. 1t
is described as motley and demo-
cratic cavalcade, particularly that
part of it which brought up the rear.

the shells whistled and fell in

one could count them. The

feeling around for it with my
left hand and picked up the very

shells fell all around the car
and the square, and the thunder
was deafening. Every time a

pieces showered around me

tested the air and found it all

post Gle secours and were about
to try again when the lombard
ment began again, and we were
obliged to enter the abri. Three
times within the next hour we
tried to get the blesses that
short distance of less than
block, but were unable to do so
because of the bombardment.
Finally we got them loaded and
left the square just as the bonn
bardment began again. | ran

South Union Street Bridge.

Unless the weather remains
mild for another week or so the
new concrete bridge on South
Main street, Lambertville, over
Swan creek, is likely to be de-
layed in it's completion indef-
nitely. While the contractor,F F.
W. Lee, of Woodbridge, has
pushed the work as rapidly as
possible, the labor problem has
been a serious one, and many
changes of help have resulted.
The contractor and the pub
lie are both anxious to have the
work completed as soon as pos
sible, as the detours mostly used
are not convenient, and more
or less dangerous when The
streets get icy.

The War Work Fund.

The committee in charge of
the United War Work Cam
paign in Lambertville gives the
most sincere thanks to the citi-
zens of this city, Stockton,
Rosemont and vicinity for their
liberality and cooperation in
the recent drive, and the sub
scriptions were as follows:

B. Conover, $3.50; DR.. j. q,

Mrs. Beckner and Mrs. Parent,
Stockton, $600.35; Theodore L.
Cullen, Rosemont, $51.30; Nor

High School, 1921; Victory
Boys and Girls of Stockton,

$441.53 more than the quota OF
$3.50 asked.
Thee committee feels that the
$1,000 in addition to the $4,000

speaks eloquently of the loyal
ty, liberality and gratitude OF
the citizens of this community
to those of our boys who have
made this unusual Thanksgiv-
ing possible.
In order to divert as little as
possible of the funds for ex-
penses the committee has decid-
ed to mail individual receipts

WHILE FACING ENEMY

CHUCKEY, Tenn, Sept. %, 1918.
Information received here by the
Gourley family September 26 shows
that Walter Gourley was killed in ac-
ton in France on the SOth day of
July. This came in the form of
letter direct from his captain, G. C.
Haynes, A copy of the letter reads
as follows:
Dear Madam am writing you to
confirm the death of your son, Joseph
W. Gourley, which occurred on the
morning Of July 80, 1918, while he
was advancing on the enemy.
Your son, while he had been a
member of my company, had won
my respect and appreciation. He was
a wonderful soldier and brave as the
bravest. He was one of my personal
runners because of his intelligence
and was killed within three feet of
me during the advance. He met his
heroic death while doing his full luty
and all honor should be paid to his
memory. / condole with you, madam

Very truly,
G, C. HAYNES, Capt. 16s


Mr. Gourley was a citizen of Wash
.ington county. At the time war was
declared he was at home with his
father and mother helping with the
work of the farm.
He Immediately volunteered his
services to his country. This was
accepted June l, 1917. He was
placed in training at Fort 0glethorpe,
Ga, in Co. A, 154th Infantry, but
was later transferred to the machine
gun company, 168th Infantry At
the time of his entry to the service
of his country Mr.. Gourley was a
young man only twenty-three years
of age. He was man of good
character and standing, was widely
known and had prosperous future
before him.
He had many friends and chums
everywhere he went, but his coun-
try's call was supreme and he sacK-
feed them all. Greater love hath no
man than this, "That man lay down
his life for his friends"
He never visited home but once
before going overseas. That was last
September. At that time he was in
splendid spirits and had every APP
pearance of the brave and loyal SOL
der he proved himself to be. Too
much cannot be said of Walter Gour
ley. He did all he could-he died
for US.
