Town Won't Have Movies.

The town council of Harrison. n.
j., has clinched the sentiment in that
city against motion pictures by pass
ing an ordinance requiring $4,000
license fee for such theater. The
opposition is Of twenty years stand
ing among the 16. 900 residents.
The reason for the legislation,
which is considered only as pron.-
bion, was due TO the lack of any or
dinance regarding the erection of a
movie house Several days ago the
invasion of enterprising theater man
ayers began again. and Mayor JOS
eph P. Riordan decided to settle the
thing once for all.
The fight against the movies was
led for fifteen years by the Rev.
Maurice p. O'Connor. rector OF the
Church OF the Holy Cross. When he
died several years ago, his successor,
the Rev. George L. Fitzpatrick. took
up the cudgels.
Harrison folks. who IN spite OF the
ban at home, have a laundering for
the movies. may travel a quarter Of
a mile to Kearney, or II they feel like
going the limit, ride clear into New
ark.-New York World.

All the ecstatic mites OF the air
Echo his tune.
Soon, soon
The world is singing shell,
And There!
On one compelling note
The music ends.
Then from the shattered silence
float
Ny beautiful swans
Bending this way and that a. .

While over them dawns
The fruitful moon,
Carving upon the pool
Her liquid lyrics -.

More Truth
Than Poetry

STORIES.
There's a ship upon the ocean.
laden down with bars of gold,
With a wealth of precious Jewels
scattered loosely round the hold.
1t will weather every tempest. for
the ship is staunch and fine.
And Will bring to me a fortune. for
the cargo all is mine.
But. alas! the splendid vessel I
shall never. never see,
- For it's only in a story.
Just a happy little story.
That a little fellow told me, as he
sat upon my knee.
There's a little kindly goblin who
can scatter happiness.
Drive away the horrid spirits that
bring trouble and distress.
And can give one wealth and wis
dom. and he says that he'll be
sure
To relieve my every sorrow if Pm
ever old or poor.
But I fear I'll never find him,
though / seek him everywhere,
For he's only in a story.
Just a cheerful little story,
That a little fellow told me as I
stroked his tousled hair.
There's great and friendly giant
who, when one is wearied out
Always comes to his assistance and
will carry him about.
You don't need an automobile when
the giant comes along,
For he's most accommodating. and
as swift as he is strong
But I shall not call the giant when
assistance l require.
For he's only in a story.
Just a foolish little story.
That little fellow told me as we
sat beside the fire.
Comes a funny little fairy, when the
early starlight CLEANS,
With a big and bullying basket full
of most delightful dreams;
Dreams of woods and dreams Of riv-
ers-every sort Of dreams he's
got
And he's always glad 10 give you
quite the incest Of the lot
But I know within my chamber I
shall never hear his tread.
For he's only in a story,
Just a drowsy little story.
That a little fellow told me as
tucked him into bed
