WE WERE NOT
SATISFIED
BY GRACE E. HALL


CAN you forget the myriad things
That made the cycle of those
years:
The witchery Of tender springs,
The autumn leaves the tears,
The gray mists blurring out the view,
The somber scenes across the way,
The unsaid things we sensed and knew
Each passing day?
Can you forget the mystic thread
We wove on fancy's magic loom
Into those days that now are dead
Dead as that first springs bloom?
We watched the gray doves come and
go,
Stood at the window while the rain
Tapped with ghost-touch soft and
low
Against the pane.
~s.ssS;7 e
The hours were commonplace, we said.
And wished for scenes some other
where,
We saw the sunsets, gold and red,
Watched snow-clouds fill the air;
Heard song birds in the trees above,
Had all Gods gifts, and yet
We were not satisfied with love-
And now-regretl

The most marvellous machine in the
world, invented by an English gas-fit-
ter, was exhibited recently before the
British Medical association. The DEM
onstrator was an armless man, who
sat before small table and with his
feet operated the mechanism which
was situated beneath. Over the table
came two long, thin cropping arms. like
bent gas pipes, which in an uncanny
way picked up from rack the various
implements required by the armIess
man. The latter, simply by careful
movement of his feet, took knife and
fork, ate a good meal, washed him.

Life to those who give their best
wears a different aspect from that
which is so dimly seen by the heed
less, heading for no particular port,
lacking the ability to judge the direc-
ton Of the wind or energy to study
the charts.
Close application, holding constantly
to one specific course, working hour
after hour without every little while
pausing to scan the clock, cannot in
their state of Indifference be done.
Such persons in their reflective
moments may be annoyed at the prog
ress of their rivals, but the annoyance
lacks strength to shake them from
their lethargy.
ANY continuous exertion calling for
excellence, is too violent, too wearing
to body and mind to be tolerated.
So they remain passive, and when
the frequent ugly moods come upon
them they censure the fates for their
pitiful plights.
How then, can such humans who
habitually and generally from choice
travel among the irresolutes and the
grumblers, blame others for delln-
quencies which are obviously their
own?

to be on the road to recovery from
the fractured arm.

him brought to the local hospital

PLACES BURN
$4,000 Damage in Night Fire
at Amusement Park --Turek
Family Escapes
BUILDINGS ARE BURNED
Kentucky Derby Burns and
Restaurant of Joseph Turek
is Gutted by Flames
BUILDINGS ARE BURNED

SEWAREN, Sept. 21.-Fire of un-
known origin at Boynton Beach de-
stroyed early this morning the
amusement building known as Ken
lucky Derby, operated by T. Kaydo,
Japanese, and his associates, and
damaged a part of the adjoining
wooden structure operated as an ice
cream parlor and lunch room by
Joseph Turek. The combined dam
age is over $4,000, only partly COW
cred by insurance.
The sight of flames coming from
the Japanese amusement place
frightened the dog owned by a camp
er who occupied a summer bunga-
low here, and his barking woke up
the child of Mr.. and Mrs. Turek,
who use a part of their restaurant
dwelling for living purposes. Mrs.
Turek waking up to attend to her
baby saw the flames almost in front
of the window.
"Fire-help!" she began TO cry
Mr.. Turek got his wife and child
outside. He knocked at the door of
Frank Lafarr for help who in turn
woke up the Kaydo men who oper-
ated the place. Within a few min
utes the wooden structure was all
ablaze.
The fire was watched by many
spectators who came from all parts
OF Woodbridge. For more than hour
Sewaren was illuminated by the
flames and it looked as though the
few rows of infia mmable wooden
bungalows would go with the fire
Onl, a few of the bungalows are
occupied at present, as most of then
were abandoned on or about Labor
Day. However the few that were
there frightened by possibility o.
the fire spreading packed their be
fongihgs ready 20 fee.
T. Kaydo said that his place has
been closed for the last two day:
and that no one mas been near j
since. He could not unerstand how
the place caught on fire. He salo
that only last week he placed some
amusement devices for storage for
the winter months. All of 1t was
wiped out. The wooden beams are
still smoldering this morning.
Mr.. Turek called me at about
2:O5 A. NJ" Mr.. LaFarr related. y
Immediately called the Japanese
people and at the same time tele-
phoned to the firemen. They came
pretty quick, but the whole building
was enveloped in flames and could
rot be saved"
The fire made unusually quick
headway, partly due to the wind
The flames from the Japanese con-
cession turned toward Tureks res
taurant and but for the good work
of the Woodbridge Fire Company
No. / which responded to the flre,
the entire building would have gone
down. The firemen were able to
check the fire after it had destroyed
a large part of the stock carried by
Turek in his place and burned down
the Japanese structure to, the
ground,
The Kentucky derby emporium
was owned by Boynton Bros. There
was over $4,000 worth of costly
chinaware and general merchandise
stock according to Mr.. Kaydo, the
proprietor. The Turek building is
owned by A. G. Acker. A shed with
an automobile has also been destroy
