sicians OF. the county will attend, that
all civic bodies will have full repre-

BENEFIT DANCE
THURSDAY NIGHT
Members OF The Hebrew Associa-
ton Hold Dance And Bazaar
In This City.

The Armory was taxed to its ut
most capacity Thanksgiving night,
when the members of the Hebrew As
sociation of this city held bazaar
and benefit dance. Dancing began at
$50 and lasted until l A. M, and
young and old enjoyed the excellent
music furnished by the Kelly Orches-
ira, of Salisbury.
Visitors were here from all towns
on the Eastern Shore, and all avail
able space was taken. Quite num-
Der of our townspeople attended, and
were heartily and cordially welcomed
by the members of the association of
this city.
1t wa sprobably one of the largest
dances ever held here, more than one
hundred people attending and was a
success from start to finish.
The proceeds from the entertain
ment will go toward the fund to be
useed for the erection of Jewish
Synagogue. 1t is thought this will be
erected in this city as soon as suffi-
cient funds are raised, and suitable
site found.
The committees in charge of the af-
fair were as follows: Chairman, Mr..
Jesse Goodman, of Snow Hill; refresh
ment committee, Miss Ethel L. Heilig,
|
Miss Mollie Rodbell, Samuel Rodbell
Of this city, and Mrs. William Good
man, of Snow Hill. Bazaar commit

man, of Snow Hill. More than $3.50
was realized from the dance and ba-
zaar.

Stops In Pocomoke City On
Walking Tour Around Globe
Happy Jack Cave Spends Day Here-Guest OF Rotary
Club At Dinner Monday Evening.-He Speaks Many
Languages And Is A Fine Entertainer.

Happy Jack Cave, the Globetrotter
arrived in Pocomoke City, last Mon
day morning, on his way to Boston
where he winds up his wonderful feat
Of endurance in traversing 99986
miles; his peregrinations taking him
into almost every corner of the known
world. 1t is no use mentioning these;
all one has to do is to take globe,
shut ones eyes, and plant ones fager
anywhere on it, and Happy Jack has
been there.
This man is a Norwegian, born in
1861, therefore 81 years of age. He
carries his age well, showing few
wrinkles in his lean face, and no gray
strands on head we'll supplied with
hair.
His itineracy was planned by Johns
Hopkins, and the reward guaranteed
by the U. S. Medical Endurance Asso-
citation. He is to traverse on foot
99986 miles in years, his time being
limited to April 1, 1928. He says he
expects to eat his Xmas dinner at
home, thus winning by 8 months. If
he does he is to receive $4,000 to Sc
cure him a living in his old age.
He pushes a wheelbarrow weighing
2O2 pounds in front Of him, which is
furnished with a dog-house looking
body. In this are his household goods
and chattels. He cooks and sleeps in
this; but whenever he can, eats and
sleeps in hotels.
He is not allowed to ask for any
thing but drink of water, but will
accept contributions when offered. He
earns. money by well-delivered and
interesting lecture of his experience,
and seldom fails to receive liberal
gifts
He speaks dozens of languages, ali
of which he says he learned on board
ship whenever he had to take to the
water for progress. His shoes are
furnished by the Emerson Shoe Com
pany, and are specially and peculiar
ly made.
Happy Jack belongs to a family of
pedestrians, and is nephew of the
famous Weston, winner Of many a
jaunt. He manages to get good
nights rest and to eat three meals a

day. The longest time he ever went
without food was 81 hours, his only
sustenance being that bound up in
compressed tablets.
He praises the Maryland roads;
they are second only to California and
New York, the latter having no better
but more lateral mileage. His ac-
counts of some of the roads he trav-
ersed is both entertaining and anus
ing.
Happy Jack was the guest of the
Rotary Club on Monday evening at
supper. After the repast he gave a
most interesting account of his wand
erings. He was the recipient of a
generous donation.
He says he never forgets a face. At
the table, guest of the evening was a
representative of the Baltimore Sun,
Mr.. McClanahan. He had seen this
gentleman once before and instantly
recognized him. In the hotel dining
room was a travelling salesman whom
he also recognized.
On Tuesday morning Happy Jack
set out for Snow Hill, making for
Wilmington, Del, then Boston. The
writer overlook him trudging along,
pushing his novel barrow. We stop
ped and spoke to him, and when asked
if he had ever seen the writer before,
Immediately replied, eyes, last night
at the Hotel" He met 80 or more at
the supper; it is reasonable to sup
pose he carried all their faces in his
mind.
The "trotter" has very peculiar
gait. Over his shoulders he has straps
which fasten over the handles of the
wheelbarrow, thus putting his body
under the weight. He is over six feet
in height, and weighs only 100 lbs.
His long slim body moves with snake
like motions as he trips along with a
short quick step. He, does not seem
TO tire, and coordinates his whole body
with his feet as he moves easily along.
Happy Jack is an interesting char
acter. Here's hoping he may meet his
family around the Xmas board, and
live long thereafter to enjoy his hard
earned reward.

LET'S BETTER This
REPORT NEXT MONTH
Pocomoke Ranks Third In Percent
age Of Attendance Of Wor-
cester County Schools

One of the objective points in the
administration of the public schools
and perhaps one as important as any
other, is to get the children in the
schools. This is so .etimes quite diff
fcult to do, beca, : of a deep seated
aversion to- the Compulsory Attend
ance Law. 1t is Important, of course,
from an educational point of view
that children should go to school. 1t
i, also important from a financial
standpoint. The county is getting
a larger return for it's SC ool expendi-
lures; and the revenue from the State
is larger, in proportion to the percent
age of attendance. Below is given
the standing of the schools of Worces-
ter, showing how children are taking
advantage, of their opportunities:

OCEAN CITY MAN
SHOOTS ANOTHER
FIVE TIMES
Fishing Crew Captain Calmly Walks
Up And Shoots His Rival With
out Apparent Cause.
. MURDERER HELD In SNOW
HILL JAIL WITHOUT BAIL

Late Saturday afternoon, Captain
Oliver Parker, one of the captains of
the fishing crews, was standing in
front of Shaeffer's Bakery when Cap
tain William Hastings, rival cap
tain, walked up to him and placed a
hand upon his shoulder. AS soon as
Captain Parker turned, it is alleged,
Captain Hastings began shooting with
an automatic, steel capped bullets,
25s. He sent five bullets into his col
league, one of which passed through
his left lung and through his heart,
the others passing through his leg
and arms. One bullet passing intirely
through Captain Parker's body, pass
ed through the coat of Riley Quillen,
who was working nearby, soaring his
flesh, but inficting no material
damage,
Captain Parker sank to the ground,
and DR.. Laws, of Berlin, who had
been summoned as soon as possible,
declared that he must have died al
most instantly.
The body of the victim was placed
upon a cot until the Coroner's jury,
which was Immediately impannelled
by Squire Mumford had acted upon
the case, when it was removed to his
homee
In the meantime, the murderer
quietly walked into the store of Rev.
Mr.. Dennis, purchased pack of ciga-
rettes, and sat quietly in the store,
while the magistrate took charge of
the body of his victim, and the town
officials telephoned to Salisbury for
the State Constabulary, two of whom
arrived in. short time, and took the
man in charge, and carried him to
Snow Hill, where he was remanded
without bail to await his hearing.
Captain Parker, who leaves wild
CIV, a son, and two daughters, was
buried from the M. E. Church on
Tuesday, December 5. Captain Hast
ings has been allowed the company of
his wife and little child, in his cell at
Snow Hill, where he is awaiting trial.
No apparent cause for the sudden
attack is given, beyond the working
cat Of an old grudge Of several years
standing:

CLARKE RESIDENCE
ENDANGERED BY
FIRE WEDNESDAY
Overheated Air Tight Stove Thought
10 Be Cause Of What Might
Have Been A Big Fire.
FlREMEN DO VALIANT WORK
In EXTINGUISHINC BLAZE

Between IL and 12 o'clock last We'd
nesday morning, the fire alarm again
disturbed the peace and quiet of the
community, and it was soon learned
That the handsome residence of Mrs.
Il. II. Clarke corner of Second and
Walnut streets was on fire.
BY the time the fire fighters and
others appeared on the scene, smoke
was pouring out the seiond story win
dows, and it looked as if the flames
were about to burst through.
In very short while a hose was
attached to plug, and carried up the
front stairway to a front corner room
facing the two streets. The fire was
seen to be inside the covering of the
chimney. This was cut away, and a
stream directed upon the burning
parts.
In the meantime, many persons
were lending a helping hand in carry
ing out the furniture to save as much
2s possible in case the building should
burn.
1t was evident tho, that the fire
company had control of the situation.
and the order was given not to remove
any more goods.
1t is pleasing to relate that there
was plenty of water on this occasion,
andthe work of the laddies was most
efficient. Most of the damage was
from water, and the tearing away of
the chimney covering.
The cause of the fire seems to have
been from an over-heated hot-air
wood stove. The heat was communi-
Gated to the building at the point
where the pipe enters the chimney.
Whatever damage was done, is full
ly covered by insurance.
Wednesday was very unfavorable
day for fire, as strong wind was
blowing, and had the flames once got
started, they would have been hard to
control. Here is one more argument
for an adequate water supply and eff
ficient apparatus for subduing flames.
