record our profound regret at his
loss

worthy, kind, affectionate and con-
siderate member, one ever prompted
by the best and purest of motives,
and one always willing and anxious
to assist to his utmost in the affairs
as well. has lost man of unusual
poetic and literary ability and an
estimable and valuable citizen.
Resolved, That while words but
feebly express our profound sorrow,
yet we tender to his grief-stricken

we pray Almighty God to sustain
them, and to comfort his Borrowing
wife and children.

Poem HOnOrs Deceased.
Mr.. Proctor also read the following
original poem upon DR.. Calver:
THOMAS CALvER
good old friend. dear old friend
Respected by all.
Has bowed his head to Him who makes
The last and final call.
Wen miss him here-his genial smile
His cordial greeting, too;
His Willingness to entertain
As few so well could do.
Such men as he-upright and true
Are few and far between
His Willingness made happiness.
AS we have often seen.
He was TO ordinary man,
As you and j well know.
And as his record left behind
VIII demonstrate and show.
Few men devote their lives he.
In spreading real sunshine.
And few report 10 Him high
| So nearly 10 divine.
| BY vote of the association, copies
| of the resolution and of Mr.. Proctor's
| poem will be sent to Mrs. Calver.

Wildwood City Commissioners Start More
Litigation. City Treasurer Kay Refuses
TO Accept City Checks Signed by Any
Commissioner Except the Mayor

When communications were asked to
be read the city clerk produced first the
following letter, under date of Septem-
Der Goth:
TUESDAY last, September 14th, L
asked my husband to tell you TO cancel
the letter l wrote you concerning the
widening of Atlantic avenue. Because
In many months the commissioners
had done nothing about this matter,
and as | had an opportunity to sell did
not wish to embarrass the prospective
buyer. Respectfully yours,
"Olga b. Culver"
The commissioners decided that they
could not cancel the letter referred to.
AS 1t had been received and filed it was
now a part of the record and as such it
must remain.
Attorney John H. Judge, writing
from his office at 26I Broad way, New
York, under date of September 9th,
called the attention Of our city law
makers TO the results of a recent fire In
that city, during which two lives were
lost by reason of the doors of the build
ing not being constructed so as to open
outw ardly. This disaster calls to my
mind the fact that the door on the exit
of Hunts moving picture theatre, to
the north, does not so open, and it
would be Advisable for your inspector
to examine all places of amusement
and see TO it that the necessary protec-
ton be afforded the public.

An occasion when ignorance was

recall one woman, he says, who al
ways used all her own butter on her
table. But one unfortunate day she
discovered a dead mouse In the crock
Of cream. Not daunted, however, she
dfd the usual churning and produced
a fine-looking roll of butter. But she
couldn't eat it, though she knew the
butter would satisfy anyone who did
not know about the mouse. So she
took 1t to the stOrekeeper, told him the
truth, and asked whether he would e1-
change it for a roll from his cellar.
"You know" she said, making a
slight misquotation, ''for what the
mind doesn't know the heart won't
gr1eve about"
"Oh, that's al right" replied the
obliging storekeeper I'm glad to &C.
commodate YOU"
He disappeared into the cellar and
a moment later reappeared with a, roll
of butter similar to the one he had
taken down.
The woman thanked him and depart

store again.

you the other day?" the storekeepeI
asked.

an, "Just lovely. couldn't have told
it from my own"
"Neither could l." said the store
keeper. "You know that what the
