He has never sought Office, rather
preferring to work for the interest of
his friends. He has now reached the
point in life where he believes he is
entitled to some consideration at the
hands of his party, and now is seek
ing the nomination for Clerk of the
Peace of Sussex County.
Mr.. Wescoat has large family con-
nection and a large circle of friends
throughout the County who will prove
loyal to him.
If nominated and elected the assur-

with fidelity, and will be subservient
to the will of the people, and not be-
tray the confidence reposed in him.

GREAT WRITER'S WHO COPIED
Both Shakespeare and Moliere Were
Free in Their Adaptations"
From other Authors.

No authors have ultimately at
tanned to a truer originality than
Shakespeare and Mollere. an original
ity both of form and of content. Shake
speare was able to give US AT last the
final model of modern tragedy. and
MOliere succeeded In perfecting the
final model OF modern comedy.
Molieres earliest pieces are so
closely In accord with the tradition OF
the italian comedy OF masks that the
"Etourdi." for example. might be
held up for study as the finest speci-
men OF the species. The Italians sup
piled him with ready-made mold
Into which he could pour whatever he
had of his own.
Shakespeare started out also as a
humble imItator. not Of an exotic
form. such as tempted Moliere. but
Of several specific predecessors In his
own language. lie was obviously I'M
original IN his early pieces. even In
Loves Labor Lost" almost the only
play of his the actual source Of which
has not yet been discovered. In
Loves Labor Lost" he was lmItnt-
ing Lyle: In Titus Andronicus" he
was initiating kyd: In Richard III"

How Game Of Bridge Got Its Name

The modern game of auction bridge
is descendant of Did Russian whist
and came to its name in IA pc
culiar way about 40 years ago. At
that time there lived ut Great Daily,
Worcestershire, England two families
devoted To the game. They paid each
other visits on alternate nights. Their
way lay across an old rickety bridge
dangerous to travel after nightfall
So often did one neighbnr say To the
other in parting: Thank goodness
it is your bridge tomorrow night" that
in time they refereed to their
game only rs bridge" And thus the
new name became popular in the coun-
tryside, ana was later accepted
throughout England. and soon followed
to America.

 Officer Balentine knocked the razor out of Redd's hand before he could draw it completely across his throat and probably saved his lire.
