Newly Rich.

He was a good civilian, my friend,
j. Smith De Jones, before he made a
million and cleaned with precious
stones. TO meet him was pleasure,
in those old happy times, before ne
heaped up treasure by speculative
crimes. For he was nnassumiflg and
modest as becomes a man who long
was roonling in shanties in the slums.
Obscure, apologetic, he went his
humble way; his shyness was pathetic,
we often used to say. Then he ac-
quired the plunder, the assets and the
price, and he came out from under
and started cutting ice. He brags of
his condition, of everything he owns:
THAT painting there's by Titian--it
cost 10000 bones. My liInousine's i'm
ported, it beats the homemade trucks
bucks. My chef once cooked for
princes, for dukes and earls and
queens; our native cooks are ounces
whose scope istporll and beans. l pay
my chef more money than Senators
have earned. but oh, he is a honey!
His pies are never burned! My wife
and seven daughters come home from
foreign shores, across the briny waters,
with silks in ample stores. They've
done some foreign shopping, they've
blown in stately wads, the bills are
simply whopping, but, thunder, what s
the odds?" His Dragging should eS-
haust him, but naught his zeal can
fade: he tells what all things cost him,
the price tags are displayed. His
boastings are the broadcast that ever
I have heard; and once he was so mod.
est. mild and shrinking bird! Since
riches work such magic in changing
simple folks to braggarts loud and
tragis, I'm glad that I am broke.

THE PRESIDENT HOTEL.

Atlantic City newspapers Sun
day printed a sensational story to
the effect that ammonia fumes
put lives in peril at the Presi-
dent" Newspapermen connected
with Atlantic City newspapers, or
otherwise residing in Atlantic
City, were responsible for the ap-
pearance of the same sensational
story in other papers in the large
centers upon which Atlantic City
draws its patronage and financial
support.
1t was stated that the President
was flooded with ammonia fumes
and five men We're overcome;
that guests were Inconvenience
and suffered" etc.
The papers printed a denial the
next day. Louis Brooks, architect
in charge of construction work at
the President Hotel. stated: "As
the refrigerating plant is one OF
the coz. or brine liquid types, no
ammonia is used. Liquid brine
has no odor or dangerous gases.
At no time were the guests incon-
venienced. In fact they never
knew the incident had happened.
No workmen were overcome"
Three men were arrested charg-
ed with malicious mischief in tam
pering with valves vital to the OPP
GRAFTON of the refrigerating plant.
Their case is a matter of news,
but to exploit the situation to the
detriment of the hotel is another
matter. To print a sensational
story today and deny it tomorrow
is not fair by any means. Infor-
nation contained in the denial
was as readily available on the
first day as 1t was on the second.

Improve Mill Pond.
To the Editor:

Dear Sir: l don't live in Lin
wood, and perhaps it's none of
my business, but it seems to me
that the Linwood Chamber of
Commerce, or whatever name 1t
goes by, could make quite rep
utation for itself if it spent few
dollars fixing the old mill pond
at Bargaintown up as a bathing
beach.
I happen to enjoy the bathing
there about as much as anybody,
and l know that it is as popular
to the young folks on the Main
land as any other pool about this
section. 1t is so popular that 1t
is too small to accommodate all
who would swim there.
Stumps near the present swim
ming hole, on the other side OF
the road, could be removed to the
shore, a distance of about 80 or
40 yards. The sand would form
smooth, clean beach which could
be kept that way with but little
expense for years to come.
And then a nice board could
be fixed off the bridge, where the
present water shoots through and
there you are, a perfect swim
ming place.
Up at Absecon Chamber of
Commerce has fixed up a bathing
beach, put up diving board, and
the city employs lifeguard. But
the flies up there. those big green
headed kind, are simply awful.
At Bargaintown there don't seem
to be any flies at all.
Realizing what pleasure the
youngsters and grownups get
from their swims at the pond, I
write this letter, hoping it might
come to something. if some Lin
wood citizen with ambition
hope he is a member of their
Civic group-sees it.
A BATHER.

Regulars Again
Take League Lead
Defeat WinslOw Twice as
Second Half of Years
Schedule Begins.
Hammonton Also Wins

Pleasantville again jumped into
the lead as the second half of the
South Jersey league started, when
the Regulars defeated Winslow in
both games played over the week
end. The club won the first half
of the league, which ended with
the games played week ago, and
the meeting of the League leaders
at Vineland last Wednesday night.
The league leadership, however,
is shared with Hammonton, which
team also won both of its games.
The up-county nine looks as
though it will keep the Wilsonites
busy, if they expect to win the
second half of the league contest.
The Regulars had a rather easy
time of it in both games over the
weekend. Winslow, met at the
Floral avenue park, Saturday,
went home on the short end of an
i'll score. Sunday the Wilson
ties again came through, winning
by II score.
Payne hurled for the club Sat
urday, allowing 9 hits in a rather
free for all hitting contest. The
bingles were we'll scattered, how
ever. Shenk, the visiting pitcher,
allowed - hits, which resulted in
II runs. Tony Long and Charley
Ambrose hit rome runs in success
sion. Both got three hits.
Ray Steinader pitched for the
Regulars, Sunday, holding the
Winslow team to hits and run
while his teammates pounded out
IL hits and runs. The game was
the first in which George Field,
former high school pitching star,
played. Field, put on first, hit bet
ter than any of the Regulars, driv-
ing three safeties out. and scoring
one run.
Saturdays box score:
