MRS. CHAS. L. BEST STRICKEN

Mrs. Charles L. Best was the vic.
tim of a paralytic stroke, Tuesday
night. She had retired in her usual
state Of health, but during the night
aroused her husband with the state
ment that something is the matter
with me-" Mr.. Best at once arose,
noted that his wife could talk only
with great difficulty, and at once
summoned a physician. The latter,
on arrival, found that Mrs. Best was
suffering from paralytic stroke.
We are also informed she suffered a
slight attack Of the same nature some
fifteen years ago. Mrs. Best has
been an esteemed resident of this viii
lage and locality for many years.
She has always been a lady of the
most kindly and generous nature,
tender hearted to fault, and ever
ready to assist and sympathize with
the needy and afflicted. Her friends
are many indeed and all of them will
join in the earnest hope that she may
be speedily restored to health. At
the present time the lady's condition
remains practically as it was when
she was first stricken.

The regular meeting Of the w. H..
M. S. was very pleasantly entertained
by the Rainbow division at the home
of Mrs. J. j. Jones last Friday after
noon. The theme for study was "a
Study of the Foreigner and Negro" I"
The thought brought out was that
we cannot do our best by this class of
people because we are prejudiced.
The leader asked the question |:
"Would you rather be born blind or
black" The majority voted on the
side of being black. Only a very
small majority felt that life held
more possibilities for one born blind
than for one born black.

PLAY SCORED BIG SUCCESS

The home talent play, "The Dist
yict School of Blueberry Corners"
presented at the Auditorium last Fri
day and Saturday evenings, under
auspices of the Welfare Society of
the NJ. p. Church, was probably one
Of the most successful of the kind
ever staged in this place. Every
available seat in the house and all
possible standing room was taken the
first evening and probably 200 peo
pie were turned away from the doors
because of inability to enter the
building. The costumes of the
twenty or more characters were artis-
tic as well as mirth provoking and
the big audience seemed to find plen-
ty of cause for hilarity right from the
start. While the play was some
what in the nature of burlesque it
was true enough to real life to re-
call the happy incidents of school
days to many of the older folk
who were in attendance. In
view of the fact that so many were
turned away the first night, the play
was repeated the following night and
was greeted by another splendid
audience, some Of those in attendance
having found so much cause for JOY
the first night that they wanted to
go again. Financially, too, the en-
tertainment was a great success, net
ting the Welfare Society, above all
nXnenSes the sum of S222 30

RATS KILL HENS

The destructive character of ordi-
nary barn rats was brought to our at
tention this week when Louie Wild
fong brought in fifteen heads of ro-
dents that had made their home un-
der his chicken coop and that had
eaten the heads off several fine, fat
hens. The rats would lie in wait un-
til the hens went to roost, then kill
them, eat their heads off and tear
the crops from their breasts for the
grain they contained. We had
known of rats killing small chickens,
but this was the first we had ever
heard of their killing adult fowls.

A "cracker" is an individual Of

isn't made any moro because
there amt enough corn to make
whiskey, let alone using It for
food. I Judge from the accent
Of your writing you're from tho
south-probably South Brooklyn.
No, once-Over, It's not good
taste to say you saw $999,999
worth Of Mile. Mistinguet's ST.
000, 900 legs. Such an observe
ton. shows very poor form on
your part-but not on hers. You
should wear smoked glasses; II
will save your eyes FROM tho
bright lights and the temptations

No. Fishy, II a man accidentally
swallows a herring-bone he does
not necessarily do the herring
bone weave, Some people think
the herring-hone weave is a dance
similar to tho eel glide. Her
,rng-bons weave Is q, cloth
usually made into gents suits
and sold to block-heads, you
should have at least two.
Yes, Piebald, you frequently
see q monkey on the end Of Q
limb; and sometimes, looking at
a man, you see q monkey on the
end Of two limbs. Lots Of men
brag about being self-mads men,
but few brag about being self
made monkeys. Hope you belong
to this class-it's bad enough to
be one without Dragging about It.

good to wear shock absorbers for

another man. Let her 60; there
are as good fish in the sea a.

If you do she may not go.
Yes, Muckhorse, some hurlers
think they're pitchers because
they hold lots Of home brew and
Smoke" a wicked pill" Some
pitchers have everything-an in
shoot, an outshoot and offshoots,
yet don't seem to get any place
much. II you're q pitcher you're
probably cracked or got q de-

No, Tissyvoo, when liquor goes
