1t was in the following December,

was notable one for renewing casual
acquaintances.
The past year, although it had
added not little to his capital, had
failed to carry Fitzhugh as high as
he had intended 1t should. He had
suffered many reverses, for his reck-
less habit of plunging often carried
him backward as well as forward. But
these setbacks, if keenly disappoint-

Scandinavians to drink methegelin, or
diluted honey. for 80 days after we'd

; Is still a factor In the marriage rites,
After the ceremony the husband dips
a finger in honey and traces cross
over the doorway of his home before
his bride enters, while the guests ad-
monish the bride TO BE always sweet
and good, as Is this honey"
The wedding cake goes back to an
tiquity. One of the important fea-
lures of the marriage ceremony
among the Romans was the partak-
ing, by both contracting parties, of
a cake made of flour, salt and water.
This was done in the presence of the
high priest and ten witnesses.
The use of the wedding ring is al
most universal, but in the country dis
tricts around Cadiz no ring is used.
After the ceremony the groom shifts
the flowers in his wife's hair from left
to right, for to wear a flower over the
right ear is to proclaim ones self a
wife.

and the locale of our pilgrimage to be

Cadwalader Park on the score of its
inaccessibility and suggestion was
made that we go to the place where
all the picnics were held during the
late Father Smiths time, viz. Deer

that this is private park and that
the Odd Fellows of Lambertville had
rented it for an exclusively Odd Eel

Pennington, Aug. 26-The Hunter
don County Committee met this
morning at 10 o'clock in the Court

man rendered his registration. Judah

elected in his place.
Republicans from all over the Co.
unity were present, as we'll as many
from other sections in the Fourth

enthusiastic and harmonious meeting.
The solid front presented at this

decreasing majority they have suf-
fered recently.
A resolution on the recently rati-
fled 10th Amendment was adopted as
follows: "Be it resolved that we the
Republican Executive Committee and
Republicans of Hunterdon County do
heartily endorse the 10Th Ammend-
ment to the Constitut ZION of the United
States granting the right of suffrage
to that great body of our citizens, the
loyal women of our land, and we well
come them with their full rights of
citizenship to which they are entitled.
Also a resolution endorsing the
National ticket: 'Be it resolved that
we the Republican Executive Com
mittee of Hunterdon County do heart
lily endorse the Republican National
Platform and ticket for Warren G.
Harding, for president, and Calvin
Coolidge, for Vice President, and
pledge our entire support to further
their election.

LIVES CHIEFLY IN MEMORIES
Sleepy Little Pennsylvania Community
Has But One Really Busy Sea-
son In the Year.

Within the limits of the city Of
Philadelphia, yet separate from the
municipality proper, is the little viii
lage of Bustleton. Unlike its name.
1t is a sleepy community, peopled
mostly by retired farmers.
Bustleton Is replete with historic
lore. Old Bill flyers Union hotel Is
a relic of the days when British and
colonial troops Overran the country.
One sleeping chamber In the ancient
inn contains great four-poster bed
In which, so the historians of the viii
lage say, once slept Mad Anthony"
Wayne.
Stories of midnight raids by Brit
ish cavalry patrols duels ught be-
tween the young bloods of the Quaker
city In a grove In back of the inn, and
ghosts of colonial soldiers stalking
through the long halls Of the structure,
are told with great gusto by Bill
Tilyer. The Union hotel has been
handed down from father to son In
the Tilyer family for nearly two CEN
turtles.
But there is one time in the year
when Bustleton really bustles. That
Is in the month of September, when
the mushroom season opens. At sun
rise dozens of men and boys may be
seen plodding through the dew-laden
pasture fields, armed with buckets and
baskets. For the fertile fields In and
around sBustleton yield many bushels
of mushrooms, which are sold at the
various markets in Philadelphia.

Putting Reptiles to sleep.

Monotonous sensory stimulation, one
southern dealer in alligators has
found, will quickly render the smaller
reptiles unconscious. To demonstrate
his uncanny control Of Eis reptilian
stock in trade, he places one of the
smaller alligators upon Its back. Kneel-
ing besides 1t, he holds the wriggllng
body with one hand, while he gently
strokes the underside of the jaw.
Back and forth goes the hand until
the squirming ceases and the limbs re-
lax. Some say that the dealer tenn
porarily suppresses the functions of
the crocodilIan cerebrum others, skep-
teal, maintain that he simply lulls the
alligators to sleep.-Popular Mechan-

Castle Rock In Kansas.

One of the most interesting works
of nature in Kansas from a geological
standpoint is known as "Castle Rock"
a natural formation located in Cove
county, in the valley of the Hack
berry, about ten miles from its mouth.
This castellated mass is composed of
a coping of limestone and the shaft
of chalk and compact shale. Its
unique formation was caused by the
shales wearing away, the strongly ce-
mented stone serving as a protection
TO the upper surface. In this way
mountainous appearing masses are
frequently produced, especially where
streams cut their way through the
hard stone into the softer materials
below. Similar formations are met
with in Ellis county which show isolat-
ed columns which rise from 90 to 20
feet In height.-Blackmar's History of
Kansas.
