The committee i6r the arrangements
was: Samuel @. Cowart, of Freehold;
Halstead H. wainwright, of Manasquan
and T.. w. Wise.
Judge Peter vredenburgh's portrait
was presented to the Monmouth County
Bar Association and will be presented
later to the Monmouth County Board Of
Freeholders, and be hung in the main
Court Room in the County Court
House. The FreeholdeTs have designat-
ed Dec. 9th as the date for the unwilling
of this portrait in the Court house and
notice Of the ceremony will probably be
given hereafter to the county papers.
1t was the intention OF the Freeholders
on the same date to have unveiled the
ancient Revolutionary bell which Wasin
the belfrey of the Court house in the
time of the Revolution and, no doubt,
rang out appropriate peals for the pa
triots of the colonies, at the time of the
Declaration of Independence on July
A, I776, and doubtless also the old bell
rang warning to the militia and citi-
zens on guard at Ere -hold, when the
British Army was making its way from
Philadelphia to the battle field of Mon
mouth. The bell be7rs the date of its
manufacture in 1856, and is now in the
possession of Mr.. John A. Okerson for
presentation to the County of Mon
mouth by the heirs of William Lloyd,
VIII purchased the bell with other Court
House materials from the County of
Monmouth in 1909, when the Revolu-
tionary Court House was torn down
and replace with a new building.
The Board Of Freeholders has re-
quested Mr.. Samuel Craig Cowart to
arrange for the erection of proper
structure for the resting place to this
historic bell in a suitable location in the
front of the Court House, possibly over
the monumental stone, which bears
the bronze tablet representing the an
Gent Court House, which tablet and
stone were erected from the surplus
fund from the celebration Of the 125th
Anniversary of the Battle Of Mon
mouth, on June 80, 1908. AS it is impos-
sible to get q suitable structure
erected by the 9Th Of December for this
bell it is expected to arrangess with
the Freeholders to have it unveiled on
a later date.

WELL, IT DID LOOK IT.

Providence, R. l., Dec. 3-It all came out right at last, but for a time a well known society man Of this town did dock like an auto bandit. This man-and he's de- cidedly prominent in Providence offered a lift in his auto to lone pc destrian. Shortly afterward he felt in his pocket for his watch and found nothing. He turned to his un- known passenger and demanded the watch. The stranger without a word handed it over. But the society man, on his arrival at his home, discover ed his watch resting where he had left it, on his dresser. Meanwhile. the stranger had reported to the police that he had been robbed by an auto bandit. Explanations. Re- stored watch. All O. K. now.

Boston, Dec. 3-Louis K. Liggett. the United Drug magnate, will. in a few days, have the most expensive and speedy automobile in Boston. He has purchased the new model straight eight, Knight engined Pan- hard on exhibition at the New York show. The interior of the car is dec orated in Italian walnut with inlaid ivory. The chauffeur's compartment contains a closet which, when open ed, discloses an electric beverage shaker operated by current from the battery.

From the Note Book
of a Cynical Widow

In all the world, there are only two
kinds of people, any they are very
much alike-men and women.
The sincere wife means all she
says; the stupid one says all she
means.
The average marriage Micaw-
bers heavily waiting for something
or somebody-to turn up.
When a husband is jealous wife
questions his confidence-when he
isn't, she questions his love.
A man regards the frivolities of an
other mans wife as rather diverting,
but the frivolities of his own ~!
If you talk about 1t enough you can
wear out anything especially love.
Divorce has ceased to be a menace;
it has become a mannerism.
No husband is a heroic his sue

One Kind of Exercise
Not for Modern Boy

In these days Of power saws and
new ways Of heating and cooking, the
majority of boys are not getting the
fine exercise with the sawhorse and
the bucksaw that their fathers used to
obtain, says the Salem News.
In the fall, as the old almanac
says, 1t formerly was customary for
the old man gently but firmly to steer
his son out to the wood pile and sug-
gest that 1t was needful for him to
reduce those powerful looking sticks
OF four-foot wood to kitchen stove
size. 1t was suggested more or less
delicately, that these youngsters had
free board and clothes and spending
money and that the least they could
do was to perform the allotted task
on that wood pile
1t cannot be said that the boy ele-
ment took hold Of the wood pile with
willing zest. However, if the kid over
In the next yard had one to reduce
also, then the spirit of competition
came In. But on many days the old
saw would drag terribly. 1t did seem
as if those long sticks were the very
invention of the evil one, so gnarled
and knotty were they.
However, no kid in those days liked
to admit that he was stumped or
could not do the things generally ex-
pected of boy. The youngster was
thrilled also to hear the old fellows
brag Of the very short time in which
they could saw and split a cord of
wood. He was melted to speed up a
bit himself and, as the days went by,
found himself able to do more and
more of a stint.
1t was fine physical exercise and
good moral discipline Boys trained
to cut up a wood pile usually made
good. They raised industrious families
and had pretty good time through 1t

Earliest Watches

In 1477, Peter Hele, clockmaker of
Nuremburg, made clock in the form
Of an egg, which could be carried in
she pocket. This production cost a
years labor, rendered its makers
name immortal, and, in its age, was
accounted one of the wonders of the
world. And yet it required winding
twice day and varied an hour day
from the correct time.
Hele probably invented the fusee
spring, but the hairspring was the in
vention of DR.. Robert Hooke, an Eng
glishman, in 1858, and Hooke was also
the first to use lever escapement, in
1866. The use of jewels for the gear
ing of the pivots was introduced about
100, and the compensation balance
was invented in 1857

A Society Wedding

John, the negro sexton of smart
church In a small town, had great
passion for the Christian Endeavor
society and after much study learned
the pledge. He was also a preacher,
and many dusky lovers were united In
happy wedlock by John. Recently he
was compelled to appear before the
divorce court with a negro couple
whom he had some months previously
married.

Insisfence on Song
Cost Hostess Money

New York makes the most OF It's
eminent people. Invitations to lunch,
dine and dance come by the scores to
those who have acquired fame by
facility at one of the arts, and in
many cases they are the drawing
cards of the ambitious hostess.
A noted singer recently was invited
TO join small group at the home of
a casual friend and she accepted.
After dinner the hostess cooed, NOW
you must sing for us"
'T'm so sorry" said the soprano
with genuine regret, but l begin a
concert tour tomorrow, and must not
use my voice till then"
"Ah, but think of the disappoint-
ment to our friends here: they came
because l assured them you would
sing for us. Really, 1 insist"
'You insist?. asked the singer.

The artist sang two songs, and on
the next day the hostess received a
bill "for professional seryices-$1, 600"

Unique Church TosOer

In the tower Of st. Botolph's church,
Boston, Lincolnshire, England, are
365 steps, corresponding to the days
in the year the church has IL pill
lars, 81 windows, and Z doors repre-
senting the months, weeks, and days
in a week. In the porch at the west
end of the church, are "a steps GAS
cending to the library abovel, repre-
senting the hours Of the day. Again,
on each side of the choir there are
60 steps, leading to the roof, denoting
on the one side the minutes, and on
the other side the seconds Of the hour
Whether the four stories in the tower
may have been intended to represent
the quarters Of the year is an open
question.

The dealer in secondhand plate
glass is certainly the possessOr Of one
OF the oldest occupations of any man
In London. When big window gets
smashed the owner usually prefers
that the insurance company shall re-

should be paid its price. The dealer
buys the broken panes from the com
