INSTILL A SENSE OF FAIRNESS

Wonderful window man! He sits on

cleans our windoWs!" And when a
little playmate had built a house OF
drawn a picture, 1t was Mother,
come and see what Ned has done"
And nov, George was a big boy
and | was with the family again.
There had been an exciting basket
ball game. The sixth-grade pupils
had defeated the seventh, and
George had given everything of
which he was capable to make his
side victorious. In fact, so enthus-
iastic had been his endeavOrs and so
spectacular his playing that he was
accorded a write-up in the town
newspaper.
His parents were very proud Of
him. He had put the ball into the
basket twice and really had played
a good game. but that was the very
least for which they we're to be con-
graduated. When he was shown the
article, ne was much pleased, and
his eyes sparkled as he read the re-
rOrt. Then he said. But. there's
Wallie. He put the ball in the bas-
ket once. It's too bad they didn't put
his name in the paper. Why, they all
played good ball" Never a word
then, and very little did l ever hear
him say of his own outstanding
plays, though, several times in my
presence he was asked to describe
the game and did it enthusiastically.
Yet George was not consciously
He enjoyed praise and
to it delightfully."-, but he
also enjoyed praising others and
liked to see them get their full share
CT attention. Certainly such an atti-
Lude is we'll worth cultivating.

this year are reported to be bearing
a fair sized crop Of the little red
berries.
With the arrival of the holly
wreath season, hundreds of persons
in Sussex county will be put to work
gathering the holly and making it
up into wreaths, which brings in
quite a sum Of money at a time Of
the year when there is little else to
do.
The advent Of colder weather has
caused the oyster business, which

CHAPLAIN'S CHAPEL

We are sorry to know that Alva
and Virgil Murphy, who have been
sections at Chaplains Church for
some tima, are moving away this

kept clean and there have been some
decorations put up nearly every
Sunday which made the church look
very attractive.
At this writing we do not have any
sexton but hope to find some one
who will take as much interest as
the proceeding ones.
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Peterson
have purchased a new car.
Mrs. J. N. Russell has been visit

some wood to be used at the church
during the winter months. Be sure

show lest souls the way to heaven.
We hope people will take more in

DREAMS

By X. Wadley
At night when / have gone to bed
l dream I'm cOasting on my sled.
I'm flying down the snowy hill
That runs right past the Haunted
Mill.
The landscapes bare except for
trees,
The moons a ship on stormy seas.
The weird wind hOwls around the
mill,
dream that ghosts are on the
hill.
/ grab my sled and run away
To join my friends who happily
play.
And / dream of summer days.
Sandpipers fit, the mermaid plays,
I'm at the shore to spend the time
Till schoolbells ring their merry
chime.
The tide comes in, the breakers roar,
And DER my head the sea-gulls
soar.
The pretty seashells, blue and red,
Are scattered over the ocean bed.
1 stay through pleasant summer
days,
Grow strong and brown in warm
sun-rays.
Those pleasant thoughts, so real
they seem,
Till | hear mothers call and awake
from my dream.

Cooler temperatures in early No
vember helped to improve the trad'
ON most produce. Supplies of nearby
products have continued unusuall!
abaundant for so late in the season
since some sections have not haG
killing frosts. On the other hand
heavy losses of potatoes and Other
| vegetables in temporary storage
have resulted from severe freezes II
the northern tier Of states.
Shipments have been decreasing
rapidly and have fallen a little be-
! low the movement of early NOvem-
ber a year ago. Potatoes and apples
continue to make up the bulk Of the
receipts, and supplies Of southern
produce are increasing. Early truck
acreage is generally larger this year
and growing conditions have been
favorable.
Potatoes are holding their sensa-
tional upward price trend. Onions
we're also advancing during the first
week of November. Apples. cabbage
and carrots continue in moderate to
liberal supply and prices are fairly
steady. Western lettuce is maintain
ing most of the late October gains,
but eastern stock tends a little low
er. Celery is draggy and sweet po-
tatoes firm. Cranberry receipts con-
tinue light but prices show gains on
good berries. Pears sell little bet
ter as receipts decrease.
Potatoes Sharply Higher
The price position of potatoes in
producing sections has entirely
changed since early fall when mar
kets were dull at prices lower than
last season and below cost of pro-
duction. During early November
sharp advances were reported al
most daily at one point or another.
Severe freezing in the North from
the Lakes region to the West Coast
spOiled most of the remaining field
crOp and much stock in temporary
storage. Some speculative buying has
been reported in Maine. where the
crop is turning out light and the
sharply upward trend has extended
to other main-crOp sections.
Shipments of Maine potatoes to-
date are less then two-thirds those
of the corresponding season last
year. Prices are generally two or
three times the seasons lowest lev
els OF those of a year ago. in potato
producing sections. Sales of sacked
stock at SIPS to $3.50 per 100
pounds at eastern country shipping
points and S5c to $1.25 in the West
are in contrast with a range of 4Oc
to soc at country markets in early
November last year. City markets
have been slower in marking prices
up but are quoting good stock from
$3.50 to 50 in the East and 81 to
S1.35 for midwestern stock. Western
baking potatoes bring around 50 or a
little better. The general advance in
eiudes seed potatoes, which at So a
barrel bulk ia Maine are three times
the prices of about a month ago.
Firm Onion Prices
Onion markets show considerable
in early November after
some weeks Of nearly steady prices.

THE PASSING SHOW

By Jeanette Norland
Sometimes l make my way along the
street,
And gaze into the eyes Of those 1
meet.
Some faces there seem free from
every care,
While some show lines of burdens
hard to bear.
l wonder what's behind the many
That look at me so innocent or wise;
That tell such stories full of love
and life,
With yearnings full of fancy or of
strife.
The gamut of all life from high to
Stands clearly forth from out this
passing show,
To him with ears to hear and eyes
to see
The inner life that struggles to be
free.

Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. February 9.-Transit
revenues for the calendar week ending
with Saturday. February 2. 1885, as
reported by representative group Of
companies, registered a sharp gain
from a year ago, as shown by the
Transit Journal indicator, which
stands at 1o3.S5. as compared with
the corresponding week in 1884.
For the week ending January 26,
1885, the indicator stood at 100.32," 1t
is stated in the report.
Revenues of properties all over the
country showed increases, although in
the Middle West there were a few re-
cessions from last year. The marked
increase, however, contrasts with the
trend of the month, in which fluctua-
tions from the 1884 figures were small
and we're about evenly divided between
gains and losses"
