FROM MARKHAM'S LINCOLN

The color of the ground in him, the red earth;
The smack and tang of elemental things; 81,
The rectitude and patience of the cliff;
The goodwill of the rain that loves all leaves;
The friendly welcome of the wayside well i.
And when he fell in whirlwind he went down .....-
As when lordy cedar, green with boughs, -..
Goes down with great shout upon the hills,
And leaves lonesome place against the sky.

gang of Chinese bandits.
A Chinaman leant warily on the
rail of a bamboo bridge, gazing
downward at an oozing sea of black
mud. Beyond the narrow barrier
of coco palms, an ocean of azure
was receding, leaving an ever-wid-
ening stretch of glittering sand
where a turbaned syce exercised
a Bajou pony. The bridge that
spanned the swamps served as a
link between the shore and the
mainland and from the inner eX-
tremity an ill-defined path wound
through stunted forest-wastes,
teeming with chattering monkeys.
To the student of character, here
was the prosperous Chinese trader
come to keep an appointment he
had made with someone, possibly
stranger to the district. he mad
selected an unmistakable land
mark for his rendezvous. He wore
a white drill tunic, buttoned up to
the neck wide-legged trousers of
rustling black silk, and boots With
elastic sides. An umbrella OF oiled
paper-yellow inside and red Wit,
out-was tucked under one arm,
and a solar topee OF surprising
wilderness contrasted strangely with
the swarthy skin beneath.
The laundering Of a pony's
hooves died away into the distance
a sudden, momentary silence fell
upon the hidden undergraduates,
and the figure of Il white man
appeared at an opening between
the trees. He stood for moment
gazing round him. Presently his
glance fell upon the still form on
the bridge. 1t was perhaps strange
that at the very moment tae Eng
hshman's eyes were turned in his
direction, the Oriental should be-
come aware of the piercing rays Of
tropic sun-and open the UNI

Apparel Worn by
200 Men Offers
Guide to Dress


Close analysis OF the apparel worn
by 200 Of the best dressed men Of the

esting facts concerning preferences In

ing the shawl collar dinner Jacket
and it was mentioned that more men
would favor this model during the
summer. The bold wing collar IS
tho accepted collar among tho men
at these places. The fact tina 81
per CEN wore the butterfly bow tie
Is worth attention. for the men with
this tie were the best dressed Of them
all. The tie with the wide ends and
tightly tied knot. worn in front Of
ths collar wings. is the correct thing.
A natural expectation would be
that the majority OF the men would
be wearing a pleated or soft bosom
shirt on the hot evenings. Such
en- anticipation is contrary TO tho
facts. for so per cent OF the men
wore the stiff bosom shirt. OF this
number 8 per cent wore the shirt
with n button showing. which was
invariably a single lnrge pearl stud.
More than half OF those checked
wore white waistcoats OF either sin
gle or double breasted styles.

ner of Main street and Midd1esex ave-
nue. estimated that the entire struc-
ture could be erected at a cost of
SIS, 900, but in the preparation of
plans the provision for alternate
bids for the first unit of the structure
will be made.
The tentative plans as submitted
provides for a one-story brick struc-
ture with terra Gotta trim SO arrang-
ed on the plot as to obtain the most
picturesque and artistic effect. The
entire project provides for a police
station at the street corners with
the necessary cell and officers rooms;
a large meeting room for the coun-
Gil on the Main Street said together
with an office for the mayor and
borough clerk, while the wing along
Middlesex avenue allows office room
for the assessor, collector and recor-
der.
This plan was given the hearty
approval of the council and was APP
proved in its tentative form. The
initial unit which would house the
police department may be the only
part built at first, IL the estimates
for the entire building are in the
opinion of the councilmen higher
than can we'll be afforded. For this
portion of the work the architect has
given an estimate of $500.
Due to the condemning of the
present Jail structure by the state
authorities and the lack Of facilities
in the present borough hall there
seems to be little doubt judging by
the attitude of the governing body,
that some progress in a borough
owned building will be made in the
very near future.
The refusal of the Pennsylvania
railroad company to assist in 1nanc-
ing the reconstruction of the Main
street hill paving job, failed to pre-
vent definite action by the council
in pushing forward another improve
that has been under way for
some time, and it was unanimously
agreed that bids for the work should
be asked for at once. Though the
railroad company will not assist in
the hill paving, it will be notified at
once to place the portion of the road
way under the tracks in the same
condition as specified with the hill
portions at either side which the
borough will pay for. The Public
Service street railway company will
also be notified to remove their
abandoned tracks at that point so
there will be no delay in the con-
.struction work.
