THE GOODY-G0ODY MAN.

do not mind the man who rides his
hobbies,
/ can abide the faddiest now and
then,
| think the creatures found in hotel
Hobbies
Some day perhaps may change and
grow to men;
can put up with him who merely
bores me
And be polite to pests of every kind,
But one there is who positively floors
me,
The gentleman who's overly refined
do not mind the man with worn-out
stories,
At least he wants to cheer me up a
bit;
The boastful man who magnifies his
glories
May some day see his robustness
and quit;
The glouchy man is hard to get along
with,
But even him l would not wholly
ban;
There's only one am forever wrong
with,
The ever-perfect goody-goody man.
The game of life is rough and men
must play it,
To be a good man one has to stand
the brunt,
A spades a spade--why be afraid to
say to it.?
The meanings clearer when the
speech is blunt;
A man can be man and act politely,
Can live with men and keep pol
ished mind,
All eyes at times must look on things
unsightly,
And vigor dies that is too-much re-
fined.

1T is NOT EASY

To apologize,
10 begin over.
To be unseltish,
To take advice,
To admit error,
To face sneer,
To be charitable,
To keep on trying,
To be considerable,
To avoid mistakes,
To endure success,
To keep out of the rut,
To think and then act,
To forgive and forget,
To make the best of little,
To subdue an unruly temper,
To maintain high standard,
To shoulder deserved blame,
To recognize the silver lining
But it always pays.

tempt to commit felony and the
commitment of a murder"

A fruit grower of the citrus center
neighborhood was found in drain
age ditch between here and that
place this afternoon. The man had
been missing for several days and
while the body was so decomposed as
to make the cause of death only a
matter of conjecture the coroner's
Jury brought in a verdict of death
by violence at the hands of some per-

The pockets of his clothes were
turned inside out and his watch and
rings were musings. Haskell was
last seen the afternoon Of September

the body was found today. With
him was a negro. The next morning
the horse and wagon were found
about mile and a half distant from

At 9 o'clock more than a score Of
bodies had been taken to the morgue.
AS the dead were carried in men,
women and children surged about
the place. Mothers sought children
and husbands were looking for their
wives and children.
The accident happened just as the
tide was at ebD. Sescuers realized
that it would soon flow out and pos
sibly carry bodies into the Delaware
river. Fire department ladders were
struck into the water so as to form a
screen and prevent any bodies in the
river from going out with the tide.
Fishing nets also were used Tor this
purpose.
Only the footway of the bridge col
lapsed. The rest of the bridge re-
manned intact.
James Emerbe, of Chester, was
standing near the bridge when the
accident occurred He dragged %
men and children from the water.
Nine of them upon examination were
found to be dead
