YES been coming to see her
RI every Saturday and Wednes-
~ 49,, for fnnr veara

r YES been coming to see her
r. every Saturday and Wednes-
L day evening for four years.
Whenever the little set to which
they both belong gives a party he
takes her as a matter OF course.
II there's a picnic they go to-
gcther, and on Sunday nights he
always takes her home from church.
Sometimes he comes for dinner sun
day, and they spend the afternoon
reading, or IL the weather Is pleas
ant they take a walk.
This man is older than the girl
by several years.
He has a good little business in
a thriving little city, and to all ap-
pearances he is perfectly able to
manage.
Two years ago he tried to kiss
the girl goodnight, but she told
him that she was saving all that
kind of thing for the man she would
marry some day.
Since that he has been merely
friendly. The man has a good rep
utation, a good position, and seems
to be a sensible, practical sort or
chap. There Is no doubt in the
world that he is very fond OF the
girl, but-he has never asked her
to marry him.
And now the girls father is TAX
ing a hand in the affair. \
Father Threatens to
Try His Hand.
The other day father told daugh-
ter that either she must announce
her engagement to the man or the
man must stop compromising her
with his attentions. The girl tried
to 20 out with other men, but that
lust made the Regular Caller call
a little oftener and be a little more
deyoted-he seemed jealous, but
he didn't say marry" once.
Every one is teasing the girl
about the man, and the other night
she plucked up courage to say tc
him that she hated to be gossiped
about, and the man said that he
had been "jollied so much that he
never paid any more attention to
what people said-and now the girl
is fairly desperate and has written
TO me to ask me what in the world
to do.
She loves the man and SHE
thinks the man loves her But
why doesn't he ask her to marry
him7
Mer mother is dead and she's
afraid her father will do some
thing disagreeable.
Here's my answer
Don't be afraid your father will
do something disagreeable, little
girl.
He can't do anything disagree
able enough to man like that
How in the world can you love
such a creature7
A Selfish, Conceited
Old Bachelor.
He's just a cautious, conceited,
selfish, calculating old bachelor;
that's all.
There's nothing mysterious about
his not mentioning marriage.
He's very comfortable as he Is,
thank you-why should he assume
new responsibilities7
why set up housekeeping, at a
considerable expense. when he can
get all tho comforts Of home with
out spending a cent?
He binds you, dear girl, by the
compromise of his attention, and
leaves himself perfectly free to

w. n. JENKINS says that many
married women have remained In po-

latter were unable TO get their OLD

not support themselves and wives on

notes, both husband and wife are

spective duties impartially and to the
best of his knowledge, skill and ability.
Solicitor Hand announced that nomi-
nations for Mayor and other officers
were next in order. Thereupon Oliver
Bright nominated William q. Hendee
for the office of Mayor. MI. Hendee
seconded the nomination. His cleo
ton followed by an unanimous vote.
Mr.. Hendee then nominated Oliver
Bright for finance commissioner. Mr..
Bright seconded this nomination and
confirmed by unanimous vote. Ex-
Mayor Smith was now placed in nomi-
nation for Street Commissioner, which
includes the management of our up-to-
date sanitary disposal plant and sewer
system. He was also made custodian
OF parks and other public property.
Miss Helen Geisenberger was APP
pointed clerk Of this first meeting.
A resolution was passed retaining all
of the present city employees, both ap-
pointive and elective, in their respective
berths until their successors may be
chosen or qualified.
Mr.. Hendee was nominated and con-
frmed as Director of Public Safety and
Oliver Bright as Director of Revenue
and Finance.
The duties OF all officials were most
carefully defined by resolution.
The Marine National Bank, Union
Bank and the Wildwood Title and
Trust Co. were all named as deposition
les for city funds and securities.
Ordinance No. 105 was introduced,
fixing the salary of Mayor for the next
four years at $500 per annum and the
other two commissioners at $l250.
A resolution was passed naming the
FIVE MILE BEACH JOURNAL and the
Sun-Tribune as official papers. The
city clerk was instructed to publish Or
dinance No. 105 in the JOURNAL.
All necessary business at this organi-
cation meeting now having been trans
acted, a motion to adjourn prevailed at
exactly 1870, so swiftly had events
moved along. Nearly everyone present
seemed dazed at what had happened
the wholly unexpected had happened.

THURSDAYS MEETING

The new board Of Commissioners met
in first regular session yesterday after
noon, Mayor Hendee presiding. The
first resolution passed was that chang
ing the day of meeting to Tuesday af-
ternoons at 1.S0 o'clock. Jonathan
Hand was reelected City Solicitor, and
his salary increased from $3.50 to ST, 900
per year, Mr.. Smith voting no. May
or Hendee and Commissioner Oliver
Bright named Alfred Winterburn for
city clerk at a salary of 1850 a year.
He vas elected, Mr.. Smith voting no.
As it is frequently necessary for the
city clerk to canvass on the boardwalk
and other places for the collection of
mercantile licenses, Mr.. Hendee and
Mr.. Bright both felt a male clerk was
best suited for the exacting duties. Miss
Gelsenberger was made assistant clerk
at a salary of $840. Events were NOV
ing along in great shape, and now came
the crowning performance of the day.
The victim selected was the ex-Mayor's
faithful friend and valet-the inimita-
BILE water superintendent-Joe Brown.
His head was not only cut off, but his
office was abolished, swept away in an
instant.
Garbage must go. That was made
plain yesterday when Mayor Hendee
said the public must be satisfied. So
the Mayor and Bright are going to get
busy. The city clerk vas instructed to
advertise for bids on a q and a 5 ton
truck, with a series of bodies. The city
needs a truck or two, so as to play safe
on the garbage removal proposition.
$2l81. so was paid for hire of trucks last
summer. Hendee and Bright voted
yea on the resolution to purchase /; the
ex-mayor, no.
A communication from the Five Mile
Beach Electric Co. was read, asking fol
the privilege Of instituting a system OF
skip-stops for the trolley line from the
Crest to Anglesea. E. T. Nye, the cleo
trio company superintendent, was pres
ent to advocate the innovation. 1t il
proposed to stop at every other crossing
from Crosse avenue to T~wenty-sixtt
street. The matter was laid over in
order to test the sentiment of the PEG
pie in the matter.
Mrs. Annie Alcott, of 282 west Wild
wood avenue, appeared before the Com
missioners yesterday to ask relief frou
paying her tax bill of $4.19. She sai(
she was unable to pay this tax as sh'
only earns $1.00 per day. Commits
sioner Bright referred Mrs. Alcott t,
Mrs. Bright, assuring the complainant
that employment can be found at al
increased rate-suficient to enable he
to earn enough money with which t.

There being no further business be
fore the Commissioners, adjournment
was ordered at 800.
