This and That
By Charlie, E. Trncetoeu.

Jack Spratt. lying on the couch
surrounded by various volumes
seemed a veritable Puss-in- Books.
This literary cat prefers SNAKE
speare to Conrad and the dictionary
to either. l suspect that his prefer
ence is entirely due 10 hulk-the rat
ter the volume, the better head rest
it makes.
Jack likes the dictionary because
it is thicker than any other book
commonly found on that couch.
After all, perhaps his method OF
Judging is not inferior to that OF
wiser critics.
Granting that a book is good, the
more there is of it the better we
like it, everything else being eQuaI.
Especially is this true of novel.
Who is there but at some time mas
wished that a favorite story would
never come to an end?
There is a wide gulf separating the
wisest of the creatures from man.
They look at our books, but they do
not understand them. and there Is
no way under heaven that we can
make them comprehend.
They look at us. but they do not
understand us. We look at them.
but perhaps we do not really under
stand them any better than they
do US.
This chasm is there before us. and
we must make the hest of it. Happy
are we if we can partially bridge 1t.
Selecting a Christmas present for
a cat is hard bridge building.
However intelligent ones pet may
be. it is rather difficult to get the
creature to understand anything
about Christmas. The old, old story
falls fat before honest Tom or
Tabby.
Even the spirit of modern Christ
mas, somewhat divorced from the
original meaning, with its gift giving,
is a thing that does not impress
cat. This is an evident fact that
needs no elaboration.
What. then. shall we buy Jack
Spratt for Christmas
His two previous Christmases have
been marked by plenty of turkey and
fine new catnip mouse.
The first he enjoyed immensely.
the latter, too, although not so
heartily.
This. his third Christmas, how
superCift. But what Shall it be?
Grandmaw. who has everything in
the world. and for Billie. who is bored
to tears by even the most expensive
electric trains.
Selections for these are easy COM
pared to finding something that Jack
Spratt will like. Take the comedy
Of his first and second can of sar-
dimes.
Jack ate his first can of little
fishes in olive oil with tremendous
gusto For week he sat around
licking his chops in memory of them.
When the second can made its ap-
pearance he nearly went frantic. The
sardines were fished out on a plate
and put down on the floor.
Then Jack turned up his nose at
them.
What sort Of Christmas gift can
one buy for such a fastidious fellow?
After much thought we managed to
think of a real Christmas present for
him. We offer the suggestion to the
friends of cats everywhere.
We are going to get Jack humidor.
There will be no tobacco kept in 1t,
however.
In the humidor we intend to keep
moist a constant supply OF loose cat
nip, which ordinarily is dry as hay.
Any cat ought to appreciate such

Good Things

About half a million dollars
will be distributed among the
members of the Christmas Clubs
Of Newark this year.
What this means to many Of
the happy recipients can not be
realized by people who are more
fortunately situated, and who
do not have to count the dollars
carefully in order to make them
go around in purchasing remem-
brances for their loved ones.
Another benefit results from
this annual distribution Of mon
ey. Probably fully seventy-five
percent of it is paid out to our
home merchants, and is thus
put back into circulation in the
business channels at home.
Taken all-in-all, the Christmas
Money Clubs, which are grow
ing in popularity every year, are
a great and lasting benefit to

After Suckers

P. T. Barnum once said a new
sucker was born every minute,
and many wolves in Sleeps cloth
ing are ever wandering about
seeking whom they may devOur.
1t is said a few of these have
recently PAID a visit to our
town, perhaps are yet among us.
They are alleged to represent
themselves as expert photo
graphers, and visit residences
soliciting orders in that line. OF
course they demand a deposit
and promise to deliver the job
at a later date, which it is not
claimed they may not do. One
suspicious circumstance, though,
may be quoted. An order was
secured from a certain lady and
d deposit Of one dollar paid
thereon. A few days later the
solicitor called, and stating he
had been suddenly called away
asked Tor the balance, prOmlS-
ulg to finish and send back the
pictures in a short time. This
was refused, and up to date no
more has been heard from him.
Why people should fall for
such a proposition from utter
strangers when we have skilled
well known artists located in
our own town-none better in
the state--is hard to under
stand. It's always better, and
surely safer, to trade at home
every time, for here we have a
business mans guarantee that
everything promised VIII be full
filled.

Yep, Got One!

There is more truth than po-
etry in the old saw, "There's
many a slip 'twiXt the cup and
the lip" if the stories appearing
in our dailies about the arrest of
a bullet riddled car and a single
desperate bandit down at the
Star Hotel the other night are
correct.
These tales are to the effect
that the acting chief of police
and four officers, after receiving
q tip, hOtfooted it down to the
hotel and found a car carrying
New York license parked out
in front. After freezing on to
the machine they rushed" the
hotel office and nabbed five sus-
picious characters and began
giving them the third degree.
While their united energies were
focused on one Of the luckless
five it is said the other four
were permitted to retire to the
toilet in the basement unattend-
ed, under the belief that there
was no possible way to leave the
place except back through the
office. This was a case of mis-
placed confidence, as was evil
denced when after waiting until
they were tired for the four sus-
poets to return the cops got un-
easy and went down after 'em.
But like the Arab, they ha6
quietly folded their tents and
silently stolen away" and all the
searchers found was an abund,
ilnce Of ambient silent atmos
phere, dim and void.
So the five crime detectors
yaliantly escorted their lone cap
tive up town and turned him
over to Sheriff Vogelmeier and
ne is numbered among "Fritz's"
boarders at the present moment.
Inquiries regarding the bunch
which made a getaway sent to
the neighboring towns resulted
in picking up q suspect in Co.
lumbus, but with this exception
the balance are scattered to the
four winds OF heaven.

"Old Home Sends
Out Xams Checks
Amounts Sent Out Equal to
$500 for Man, Women and
Child in Newark

The "Old Home" Building Associa-
tion Company sent out its Christmas
Club checks, Tuesday, 100000 in all,
or in other words an amount equal to
$500 for every man, woman and child
in Newark.
However, instead of being divided
between every resident of Newark,
the big 100000 fund was split among
1000 people who year ago opened
Christmas Savings Club accounts at
the cold Home" Those who saved
throughout the year received an aver
age return of $4,000. The largest
check sent any Christmas Club mem
ber was one for $500.00.
"The distribution Of this immense
sum means big thing to the mer-
chants of Newark" said E. M.
Baugher, President of the "Old
Home" He declared that most of the
money saved through Christmas Saw
ings Clubs went into the hands of
Newark merchants for holiday mer-
chandise. He prointed out that fig
ares gathered by economists plainly
show that Christmas shopping has in
creased 100 per cent since the advent
of Christmas Savings Clubs. Mr..

Of the many hundreds that save reg
ularly throughout the year in Christ

Christmas Club checks on a savings

"We always feel amply repaid to
think that we have made at least one
fourth Of the people whom we inter-
est in saving through Christmas Saw
ings Clubs, regular depositors and
savers with our institution" said Mr..
Raugher. "Then too, our Christmas
Savings Club plan is part of our con-
tribution to the prosperity of Newark
business men,"
