IN REGARD TO ADVICE

4 ~ consider that have a perfect
right to interfere in the affairs Of
my children. and that it is my duty
to tell my sons-in-law and daugh-
ters-in-law what thay shall do, and
shall not do, and critieise their mis-
takes. / am older than they are,
and they could profit SO much by
my advice if they only would" said
a. woman to me recently.
That is always the cry of age-that
it has so much to teach youth, and
youth will not learn from 1t! That
it could save youth from making SO
many blunders, and youth will not
be guided by it! That it has so much
good advice to give youth, and youth
will not listen to it!
For there is no vanity like the
vanity of the old. All old people
believe that they know 1t. ali, and
that wisdom will perish with them.
Every man and woman past seventy
is convinced that he or she is a SOLO
mon, and no matter what failures
they have made of their own lives,
that they are perfectly capable OF
telling young people how to manage
theirs.
wisdom Not Age Matter
Now, as a matter of fact, age and
wisdom are by no means synonymous
terms. The mere act of living
pumber of years does not endow
an individual with brains. On the
contrary the man who was 1901
at 20 is still a bigger fool at three
score and ten, and the woman VINO
was a silly little, giggling debutante
has lost what little gray matter she
had by the time she is great-grand-
mother. Many people do not even
learn anything from experience and
go on making the same blunoers
from the cradle to the grave.
So when we hear old people CON-
planning that the young will not take
the advice they offer them, we can
but wonder what this advice is
really worth, and if the young ones
are not instictively following the law
of self-preservation when they elect
to settle their own problems'in their
own way.
1t is often said that no human be-
ing ever profits by the experience
of another. That is true. More, II
is impossible that any one should
profit by another's experience be-
cause there is always the curious
personal equation that changes the
whole situation. A man, for instance
who has lost all his money in the
banking business will implore his
son to profit by his experience and

Fauorite Recipes

French Canadian Pen Snun

OF all the good things there are to
eat in the bush and in the wilderness
I know Of nothing so delicious or so
life giving as the French Canadian
pea soup. The manner of making it
is as follows:
Take a sufficient quantity of dried
peas equal to half the amount of
soup you want and place it in con-
tainer. Fill the other one-half with
boiling water and add a piece of fat
salt pork with the rind cut off and
the pork split into squares nearly
through its depth. Add salt and pep
per to the taste and boil over a hot
fire for from one and one-half to
two hours until the peas become a
porridge. Then add water from time
to time, and stir to keep from burn
ing, adding hot water to the amount
of pea soup you desire. Then sprin-
kle with flour to give it body, and
with a dash of Worcestershire sauce,
if you Happen to have it; it is a dish
one can take three times a day in
the wilderness and is more life sus-
tanning and palatable than the
proverbial bean porridge.
The other dish is the preparation
of moose meat 1t is as follows:
Cut the steak of the moose from
the sirloin about one-quarter of one
inch thick. Spread it out on a flat
surface and pound it very slightly.
Then take the edge of a saucer of
either tin or crockery and corrugate
as deeply as possible the surface of
the steak. Then dust with salt and
pepper and fry in born butter If
available. If not, use bacon grease.
Keep the steak, during the frying
process. close to the pan with either
large spoon or stick so that 1T is
continually flat when cookings
l mention the moose steak because
most people find it unpalatable and
tough because they try to cook it in
the same manner as beefsteaks and
other meats. When properly pre-
pared it is more tasty and consider
ably tenderer than either venison.
elk, antelope or any of the other
meats of this kind.
l regret that l cannot give recipes
of delectabie dishes prepared in con-
tinental and American capitals, but
hope this may catch the eye of some
woodsman.

and hardly enough to cause you to
consider it reason for exultation.
If you dream that you empty your
purse or turn your pocket inside out
and coins fall to the floor. an exceed
ingly unpleasant INCIDENT of minor
sort, probably a quarrel. will disturb
your peace of mind:
Lies in their purses; and whose
empties them.
BY so much fills their hearts with
deadly hate.
The Jingle of money. especially If
you do not see the coins, is sign of
happy laughter and the clinking on
the floor of one coin is forerunner
of a letter bringing pleasant news.
But IL the coin, as 1t falls to the
ground, rolls from your sight, beware
of false friends and vicious counsel.
If you see money and do not touch it,
the next few days will bring you
anger and disappointment. If you
count money, the generally accepted
meaning is that you will be unable
to extricate yourself from some i'm
pending difficulty, and if, as the bills
or coins pass through your fingers,
you lose the count and become be-
wildered, then your perplexities will
indeed be great.
If you dream that you take money
away from someone in a forcible
manner you are at the point of COM
hitting a grave error and unless you
guard yourself carefully in all the
important actions of the next few
days you will make a bitter enemy
who will do you great harm:
Kill mans family, and he may
brook it.
But keep your hands out of his

MOTHERS OF
FAMOUS MEN

by MARY ADRIAN


The Mother of william NJ. Trackeray
mother and son who were all in
love to. each other. who were not
separated in life or in death, were
William Makepeace Trackeray, great
English satirist and novelist of the
last century. and his mother, Anne
Carmichael Thackerat. Theirs was a
mutual devotion of true greatness, a
devotion that surmounted all OBJ
stacles, that transcribed all else in
both their lives.
Thackeray was born in India in
1911, when his mother was only 10
years, old. His father died when he
was 6, and her love for the little boy
was then enriched, as she lavished
on him all the additional affection
she had felt for her husband.
1t was her love and confidence tho
inspired and helped him throughout
his career and tided him over his I'M
happy hours. They were always to-
gether, and he talked over all his
plans with her, accepting her counsel
in all things. This spiritual bond be-
tween them increased in strength
with the years, and when he died in
1868, she grew weak and i'll, living
only a year longer. As they had
been together during life. SO they
were together in death, both buried
in the same grave.

HAMMONTON WINS.

Wildwood High School went down to
defeat at the hands of the strong
Hammonton team on Saturday by the
score of 10 to 8. The one bad inning
cropped up again. This time it was
the second. Capuccio, the big catcher,
tore off a screaming three Dagger to
the left field fence. After this the
local lads made their errors and Gar
rison temporarily lost the location of
the plate and franked three men to
first on balls. After that fatal inning
the big fellow pitched good ball. He
famed a total of twelve batters and
allowed ten hits. The home boys never
quit and in the last inning seemed
sure to score for the first two men
up hit safely. Then Olson came to
the bat with instructions to bunt. He
carried out his orders, but the bunt
was poor, being a pop fly that vas
caught by the pitcher who doubled up
Garrison at first. The bunt looked
like a good play at that time for it
had been worked in each one of the
preceding rallies to perfection, and to
the CONSERVATION of the slipping Wis
itors. Had it succeeded Olson would
have been the hero of the game. But
it failed, and the one who gave the
order is panned. That's the way the
game always goes. The line up:
