Recalls Roman Conquest.

The sale is announced of the an
cient Caerwent, Monmouthshire, Eng
land, which is mentioned in Domesday
Book. This town (Benta Silurium)
was the headquarters of powerful
and warlike tribe called Silures, who
occupied Approximately the counties
Of Monmouth, Brecon and Glamorgan.'
In spite of the fierce resistance offered
by them, about 4S A. D., to the Ro-
man conquest, their town in time be-
came Roman city, not unlike Sill
chester, but smaller.
The old walls and gateways still
survive, and the many excavations car
ried out have discovered Roman relics
of much interest-a town haul and
market square, temple, baths, fres-
coed panels, and also water pipes, said
to have carried drinking water from
the hills.

Bunny Burrows
Invaded by Dog;
Tame Pets Killed

Two people were last week very
much chagrined and their feelings
much ruffied over an occurrence both
think might have been prevented.
Mark M. Dintenfass, late candidate for
governor of New Jersey on the Single
Tax idea, is the owner of a fine estate
in Anderson avenue, corner of Edge
wood lane. He has a fine garden to
the east of the property, in which he
keeps many things he likes to have
around, including a fine garden. In
the latter, near the barn where he
homes his fine saddle nag, is rabbit
burrow. There are in it Cor were)
many fine breeds of Belgian hares in
which he took the greatest pride. Last
week some malevolent dog belonging to
neighbor invaded the sanctity of this
rabbit burrow and brutally broke the
backs or necks of six Dummies and left
them there in their own home to tell
the sad tale of their bitter ending. Mr..
DintenfaSs has come out in card pub
lished elsewhere, in which he warns
those having roaming dogs to keep
them off of his property on penalty of
being shot.
Another victim of rabbit dog ferocity
or meanness, is young cardinal-haired
Joe Madden, nephew of Mrs. Thomas
Fredericks, and who lives with his
aunt. Joe, also, had rabbit burrow,
and now he hasn't. The same night
the invasion took place at the Dinten-
fass home, his rabbits all went the
same way to bunny heaven. Joe was
disconsolate, for the little animals
were very playful and friendly, and
so innocent, he says, and dear enough
to his boy heart.

Why Frieda Stayed.

"I've changed my mind; I'm not go
ing to quit" announced the cook to the
mistress of a Sheridan road household
the other day. Mrs. Sheridan Road
tried to hide her elation. No maid
would leave such well ordered home,
she chuckled.
"Why, Frieda?" she asked.
swell, ma'am, you see I just bought
a new suit. At that swell tailor's on
Michigan street. Fur trimmings, and
latest Paris style, too. 1t cost me
$165-so guess I'll stay a few weeks
more to pay for the suit"
The mistress of the household
choked. Why, she couldn't afford such
a suit herself! Anyway, she was glad
the cook stayed And it would be such
delicious story to tell at the Thurs
day bridge. Gracious, the airs of SER
wants nowadays.-Chicago News.

Minister Resigns
Under Grave Hint
From a Boys Club

Grave charges have been made
against Hackensack minister, Rev.
William r. Miller, of the Reformed
Church, North Hackensack. The
charges grew out of certain things con-
nected with a boys club Rev. Miller
engineered in his church What the
boys say was done has not been
printed, but they have talked and the
minister resigned.
IF we technically gave the pastor
vote of confidence at the special
meeting when Mr.. Miller so unex-
pectedly resigned, we changed our
minds the following day when the par
ents of four or five boys conveyed sew
eral sensational statements to us as
coming from these boys, all of whom
belonged to the pastors secret club. -
said Joseph III. Weston. member of
the consistory to an Evening Record
representative. eve will not give this
vote of confidence, even denying the
request of Chassis, and we think we
have good reasons for our determine
ton in that respect.
"Classis has agreed to call special
meeting and the boys in question will
appear with their fathers to tell what
they have told others concerning Mr..
Miller. Probably Chassis will not be so
insistent in their wishes after the testi-
mony is submitted to them"

Decorated Gloves.

We are told that decorated gloves
are to be one of the extravagances of
the coming season, and that turns the
thoughts very far back to when gloves
were a most elaborate and important
part of costume. Queen Elizabeth,
that lover of fine raiment, had several
wonderful pairs embroidered in gold
and even precious stones, while hawk
ing gloves were miniature works of
art. The sterner times of Cromwell
banished such frivolities, but intro
duced the leather fringed gauntlet,
which had a revival last winter. The
dainty danes of the Georgian period
had embroidery on their gloves and
carrying the idea yet further had
those coquettish lace mittens which
lasted well into Victorian times.

Wornan's Club of
Palisade Has Fine
Talk by Mrs. Brown

The Woman'S Club of Palisade held
it's monthly business meeting for De-
cember, on Friday afternoon, at the
home of Mrs. Flagg, on Bluff road,
Palisade, with Mrs. Pennell, the presi-
dent, in the chair.
The meeting was a very pleasant
one in every way and with a good at
tendance, and the principal business
of the day was the report Of the presi-
dent in regard to the Presidents Coun-
ell recently held at Hackensack, at
which some valuable suggestions We're
offered.
For the program of the afternoon
there was the one feature of Current
Events" in which Mrs. Brown, chair
man of that committee gave a very
interesting talk, full of information, up
on the subject of Cotton" in regard
to the use, and the conditions of that
industry.
Mrs Brown, herself coming from
South Carolina, where cotton cultiva-
ton is the principal business of her
own and the other families there, is
an authority on the subject, and was
further reinforced with an up to date
pamphlet on the industry and a chart,
with which she illustrated her re-
marks.
She stated that cotton is at it's high
it sold for about five cents a pound
when she lived home, it now COM
mands the price of about forty-five
cents.
She told of the various uses to which
the product is put, practically every
part, even the waste of former years,
being put to excellent use.
Cotton seed hulls are used for ''bone''
knife handles for automobile tires, for
fuel and then the ashes are used for
fertilizers, so nothing is wasted in this
great Industry, and of course the seed
is employed in the manufacture of oils
and butter, ETC., and for feed for
cattle.
The talk was much appreciated by
Tie at.disGee ard at the close, da-
licious refreshments were served by
the hostess, allowing an opportunity
for some social enjoyment as well, as
this is the only meeting for this since
the Inauguration of the course of lee
lures.
The committees of the club, this
year are House and Reception Com
mittee, of which Mrs. Frow is the
chairman, a Library Committee of
which Mrs. John Purden is in charge
and in which she is going good work
also with her Girls Club, and one of
the pleasant institutions of this Wo-
mans Club is a Calling Committee,
which calls on the strangers in town
with a view to making them feel at
home and interested in the club and
also to visit the sick or "shut ins' of
the community and club, and of this
valuable committee Mrs. Stewart is
the chairman.
The next gathering of the club will
be at the lecture to be given by Mrs.
May LambertOn Becker, on the fourth
Friday in December, at the Union
Church of Palisade, at three o'clock.

A Visit to the Gigantic Fortress Of Salzburg

Suhterranean passages would have

cessful pursuit should the fort be sur.
rounded by the enemy, and II is these
grewsome, dark places which excite
your imagination to-day and make
your visit the more interesting.
That which usually attracts much
attention is the torture chamber, which
was the scene of unspeakable crueltics
in the olden days. Still remaining is
a heavy iron chain by which the VIC
tim was bound to n stone block in so
cramped a position that he had not
sufficient space comfortably to stand,
sit or lie down. Unable to find a
posture in which some part OF his body
did not suffer, and bereft of food, he
would be left TO die OF exhaustion and
starvation.
Another cruelty prevalent in ancient
days was the peculiar hanging
process. A criminal, seated upon a
bench with an iron collar around his
neck was daily hoisted upward (by n
machine for that purpose) only a
quarter OF an inch at a time. After a
certain height was attained tho bench
beneath him was removed. Strangu-
lation set in by slow and tortuous
degrees. and thus he finally sue
cumbed.

horrors when one considers the
miseries of total darkness, damp,
