DEATH OF JOSEPH FIELD.MONMOUTH COUNTY LOSES ITS

OLDEST RESIDENT.

The Veteran Farmer's PainlessDeath—His End Not Unexpected-Story of a Long and Useful Life-Mis Funeral Held on Monday.,Joseph Field, the centenarian: farmer

of Middletown township, died last•Thursday night at eight o'clock, aged104. years and ' '6 months. He'wastaken sick about three' weeks ago andDr. Edwin Field, his nephew and familyphysician, told his children that theirfather could not live much longer.His system, already more or less weak-ened by a recent sickness, could not standthe strain of increasing years. His deathwas painless and it appeared to thoseat hia bedsidS as if he were going to sleep.The children and.Dr. Field were withh ip when he died. -He became uncon-scious three days before bis death.

Mr. Field's ancestry were English,and when they came to America, settled

•on Long Island, Joseph was born Sep-tember 26th, 1792, at the homestead inMiddletown township. HewasthesonofRebecca and Thomas Field, bis mother'smaiden name being Sheppard. Therewere five other children, one of whom,Thomas, died about six years ago.

Joseph began school life at an earlyage, attending the village school atHeadden's Comer for a number of years,after which he went to school in NewYork. Leaving the latter, he engagedfor a short time in the produce commis-sion business in New York, selling pro-duce raieedon his father's farm.

He then began to farm on bis ownaccount. ' His original farm consisted ofabout 160 acres, which was constantlyadded to until the present farm comprisesnot less than 400 acres. Mr. Field was aprogressive farmer and made the busi-ness pay good profits. .He was industri-ous and.-frugal; working early and late,thereby amassing a fortune.

At the age of 75 his thoughts turned tomarriage. He proposed to Euretta'Head-den, the pretty young daughter of aneighboring fanner. Miss Headden wasonly 25 years-old, but she accepted theold farmer, and the marriage; ceremonywas performed at Mr. Field's house byRev. Charles E. Hill. Three children wereborn to them, Rebecca, Joseph and Eu-retta. The latter married Joseph Whit-ing, who farms part of the Field place.Rebecca and Joseph lived wife theirfather, Joseph having had the manage-ment of the farm for a number of years.

Mr. Field possessed a wonderfully vig-orous constitution,.being able to aotivelyengage in labor on his farm until hisninetieth year. Even after that it was

• his pleasure to do light work in the gar-' Men near the- house. He was a small.

spare man, and he retained his mentalfaculties remarkably well. There weretimes in his later years when memoryfailed him, but he appeared to be greatlyinterested'* in all the news of the day.

• He was particularly anxious last fall tohear all that transpired-concerning thepresidential election, He had alwaysvoted either a Whig or Republican ticket,and cast ballots for 21 candidates forpresidents for those parties. Last fall hedrove to the polls and voted for MoKinleyand Hobart, being assisted by Dr. Ed-ward Taylor and Jehu P. Cooper.

A year ago a fire destroyed his houseand barns, and he lived with his son-in-law until a new house was built near thesite of the one burned down, 'While atMr. Whiting's he was siok for some time,narrowly escaping blood poisoning. Aporn on his toe troubled him and he hadit pared. The toe got sore and necrosisof the bone resulted. He recovered al-most entirely from this sickness.

Mr, Field's funeral was held Mondayafternoon at the house. There was avery large attendance, tho house beingfilled, The floral tributes were^manyand beautiful, prominent among thembeing a large wreath and cross. Thebody lay in a black cloth-covered casket.with ebonized handles. The face of thedeceased appeared to be that of a mannot. moro tnnn 75 years old. Rov. J. K.Manning preached the sermon, takingas'WB text Leviticus xix, 83, "Thou

..\8halt rise up before the hoary head, and. honor the faco of the old man, apd fear

thy God." The speaker made referericoto the honor of old age, especially wheroit had crowned a long nnd upright life.Ho referred to the necessity of consider-ation nnd thoughtfulnesa1' for tho old,from the fact that the infirmities of oldago put the world out of touch with thoaged. Ho also referred to tho fact thatnotwithstanding tlio advantages of to-day over those which the fathers had, itwaB a question if tho typo of manhood,ns a whole, equalled that as exhibited bythe fathere. Ho said the upright lifo ofMr. Field was worthy of imitation, sofnr ns honesty and integrity were con-corned. Mr. Manning was'followed in aBhort address by Rev. Charles E. Hill,Miss Carrie Sanut nnd Mrs. Frank Man-son wing two selections.

The Monmouth hunt club had threehunts last Wednesday afternoon. Thehunts took place in the vicinity ofHolmdel, The hunters followed a dragfrom Red Bank, going through NutSwamp and stopping at Holmdel, wHerethey had lunch at John Holmes's. Adeer was"" started and the animal gavethem a lively run in the direction ofMatawan, where it was lost sight of.The party returned to Holmdel andliberated a fox, which was chased towardMarlboro. After traversing above fourmiles of level farming country the foxgave the hunters the slip.

The hunters and their mounts were:P. P. Collier, Aesthetic I; H. A. Herbert,Dutchman: Jack Stewart, Count; Mr.Paddock, Alice ;-M. A. Stevens, Long-fellow; Dr. Edwin Field, Satan; Mr.Roby, Shamrock; Miss Roby, Majestic;Kingsley Magoun, Vanity; Thomas Field,Jene.' A number of people followed thehunts in drags, among those from thissection being Miss Emma Conover andMajor J. T. Field of Middletown, andMr, and Mrs. William Ely and Mr. andMrs. Howard Ely of Holmdel.

On Sunday the deer that escaped fromthe hunters was caught at NewmanSprings by William Worthley, WilliamChandler and Martin Shaughnessy.They were at Newman Springe on Satur-day and saw the deer swim across thecreek. - They made several attempts tocatch it, but were unable to do so. OnSunday they went out to make anotherattempt. The animal swam across thecreek several times and eluded them.It finally went to the top of the bank.Shaugbnessy and Chandler went to thetop of the hill by a roundabout way andWorthley hid behind a tree alongsideof the path leading to the creek. Hehad a lasso in his hand. The other twomen scared the deer and it ran downtoward the river.' When it got aboutopposite to where Worthley was hidinghe stepped out and threw the lasso overits head. The three men then bound itsfeet and put it in a boat and took it toAllen's lumber yard, where they put. itin a pen. On Monday afternoon thepadlock on the pen door was broken offand the deer was taken.

ELLA LANE'S FATAL JUMP.

Slie Sleets Her Death bu LeapingFrom a Moving Express Train-She Was 9% Years Old and Workedat Joseph T. Osborne'a.Eleanor Lane, ,a servant employed in

the family of Joseph T. Osborne of Mid-dletown, met a tragic death at thai placeon Monday morning. , She was 22 yearsold and a daughter of Frank Lane ofBelford. She had worked for Mr. Os-borne a number of- years and* was afaithful servant.

It was the young woman's custom togo. home every other Saturday andreturn to work the following Mondaymorning. Last Saturday she visited herparents'and left.home at seven o'clockMonday morning to go to Middletown.She took the trolley at Belford and cameto Red Bank, where she boarded thenext New York train that came along.JThe train was a Lakewood express,which makes no stopB between Red"Bank and Jersey City. When the con-ductor came around for her ticket hetold her the train did not stop at Middle-town, but that he would atop his trainat Matawan so that she could take thenext train back to Middletown.

The girl was considerably put..out .bythis intelligence, as she desired to reachher working place as early as possible.She entreated the conductor to stop thetrain at Middletown, but he replied thatthe rules would not permit him to do it.

As the train approached the Middle-town station Miss Lane arose from herseat and walked to the back end of thecar. It was her intention to jump fromthe car, which was an extremely perilousundertaking, as the train was going atthe rate of between forty and fifty milesan hour. As the lirain passed the stationMiss Lane opened the car door and madea leap from the step on the west side ofthe car towards the southbound track.Her clothing probably catight in thesteps and it is thought that she fell headfirst to the ground and was then drawnunder the cars. Her left leg was nearlytorn off at the knee and the severed limbhung by two or three strips of flesh.Her right ankle and heel were crushed,the back of her head was terribly cut,and she was injured-about the back ofthe neck. Death must have been in-stantaneous. • '

The remains were taken to the freightstation and shortly afterward removedto the girl's home at Belford. The pa-rents knew nothing of the accident untilthe body was brqugbt home.

The funeral frill be. held to-morrowmorning at half-past ten o'clock at theNew Monmouth Baptist church. Rev.Win, V. Wilson will conduct the service.

New Wheels atSecond-Hand Prices.

On Monday I received a lot of '96 Crescent Wheelsdirect froip the factory. These wheels were left over fromlast year, and in order to close them out they were soldto me at a very low price. They are in excellent shapeand cheaper than second-hand or cheap low grade wheelsoffered at like prices. The wheels that were in the lotand the prices I will sell them at are as follows:'

0 Mew's 28-inch Wheels, sold for $50llast year .... .now $32., Women's 26-inch Wheels, sold for $75 last year ' . . . . ' " S7.

Girls' and Boys' 26-inch Wheels, sold for $50 last year " 32.Girls' 24-inch Wheels, sold for $40 last year « #».Girls' 20-inch Wheels, sold for $40 last yeai\. " 25.

The Western Wheel Works, the makers of the Crescent, have one of the largest fac-tories in the world. . They made over 65,000 bicycles last year. I sold over a hundred ofthem, and I don't believe there was a buyer in the lot who wasn't more than satisfiedwith his bargain. This year's Crescent has many special features that recommend it,

. even over much higher priced wheels. The prices for the '97 Crescents are :

Bacer. ..$75. Men's and Women's Boad Wheel... $50. •Men's Light Bond Wheel 75. Girls'and Boys'26-inch Wheel... 50. v

Women's Light Moad Wheel: 75. Girls' and Boys' 24-inch Wheel ... 40.Girls'and Boys'20-inch TVlieel, $30.

New wheels are arriving every day. There are so many makes and so many kinds.that it seems to pie it would be almost impossible for a bicycle] buyer to have awish that he couldn't gratify here. v^

My guarantee is that I will repair all wheels sold by me'for six months from the daythey were bought, free of charge. I don't care how the wheel was broken. It makesno difference to me if the break was due to an accident, to a defect in the material orwas deliberately done with an axe. I will fix it and it. won't cost you one penny. If Ididn't know that the wheels I sold were good wheels, of course I couldn't afford to dothis. Come in and look around ; I will be glad to show you my stock.

I am ready to sell you Spring and Summer Clothing.'. I am ready to show you the very latestwhims—-the very latest fabrics—-the very latest styles that Fashion says are correct to wear.

My stock is magnificent1: Within the, four walls of this store I have gathered almost $50,000worth of Spring and Summer Goods. I have gone all over this country among the manufacturer^ andpicked the best things.

I believe no merchant tailor "can-give you such an endless variety to choose from. I" believe nonecan fit you better. I believe it is absolutely impossible to go anywhere on earth and.be more fully satis-fied than I can satisfy you. , . .

My stock is fresh from the makers. It is well made and fashionable. It has been selected toplease those men who care for both wear and style. The materials are as good as the best mills canmake. The workmanship is in every way up to the high standard set by this store.

A Fifty-Thousand-Dollar Stock ! Think of those figures a minute! Think of the vast quantityof goods that sum will buy !

Why should you go elsewhere and take whatever the small dealer happens to have, "when you cancome here and get precisely what you want ?

I want to repeat something I have said a thousand times :

\ "If you, are not satisfied with any purchase you make at my store, all yonhave to do is to return the goods and get your money back."

My prices are always the lowest at which it is possible to buy good clothes..I am ready to sell. Are you ready to buy ?

Men's Suits.I have made ample provision for every possible

want of any man in Monmouth county. It mat-ters little what price he wants to pay, what stylehe wants, or if he be short and stout or long andlean, I can satisfy all his requirements.

Suits at $3.90.For this low price I am selling a good suit,

nearly all wool, fit for everyday wear. It is madeof cassimere, cut in 6ingle and double breastedsacks, and in light and medium colors.

Suits at $5.00.Here is an extra value. All-wool cassimere and

cheviot suits, single breasted sacks in neat checksand solid colors; also in the new thing, overplaids.

Black cheviots, all wool, single breasted sacks,excellently made and tailored, and in all sizesfrom 34 to 42 breast measure.

Suits at $6, $7 and $8.For these prices I have all the newest goods,

cut in the fashionable styles, in cheviots, cassi-meres and worsteds.

Suits at $10.At this price the assortment is almost endless.

The suits are good enough for wear upon any buta full-dress occasion. I was very particularwhen I bought these suits to have every littledetail in the cloth and makeup to the higheststandard. How well I have succeeded you willbe able to judge when you see, them.' They areequal in every respect to suits now being adver-tise by most dealers at $15. They consist of clay

• worsteds, clay mixtures, large plaids and fancycheviots in every shade imaginable and in everycorrect style.

Suitsat$12,$15,$18and$20.These suits are the equal of custom made at

prices about fifty per cont higher than I aak forthem. Men most particular about being dressedwell and fashionably will be unablpio find a faultwith them in anyway,every kind of material.

Every $tylo of cut and

Spring Overcoats.These are of black diagonal, sometimes called

clay diagonal. They are cut in medium lengths.They have farmers' satin lining, they are welltrimmed, and they have the f ashionable stitched

jes. These coats are usually sold at $12.00. iam selling them at $8.45.

I am selling men's black cheviots and tancheviots at $3.45. They usually sell at $5. Theyare not all wool, but they will give excellent ser-vice so far as wear is concerned.

At $6.90 I am selling a.black all-wool cheviotspring overcoat; also a lot of Melton spring over-coats, in black and white mixtures, Known asOxford Meltons. These are usually sold at $10.

A black-and-white mixed all wool worstedcoat, always sold at $15, is being sold by me at $10.

These coats are left from last year, and are cutfrom two to four inches longer than the pre-vailing styles this season. In every other partic-ular the coats are the counterparts of this year'sstyles. The difference in length is hardly no-ticeable when the coat is on a man's back, but itmakes a difference of about one-third in the price.There are all sizes of coats in the lot, but not allsizes of every kind.

I have this year's top coats for those who pre-fer the short garment. I have them in variousstyles at from $10 to" $15. They are not one whitbetter than those I am selling at the reducedprices, except that they are the very latest fash-ionable length.

Glen's Trousers.Prices begin at 75 cents for good working

trousers, warranted not to rip, and go as high as$7 for the finest dress trousers. Between pricesare $1, $1.50, $2, $2.50, $3, $3.50, $4, $5 and $6.

I am sole agent for Sweet, Orr & Oo.'s Never-Eip Pants, the best pants made for rough usage.

Negligee Shirts.We have an extra value in a negligee shirt at

collar and cuffs .attached. We48 cerits^withhave others at the same price with plain neck-band, to be worn with white collars. Others at59 and 75 cents and $1 and $1.50.

Easter Neckwear.All the pretty effects in Easter neckwear are

now on show. Everything is priced at Davidsonvalues. All the new shades in Tecks, puffs,four-in-hands, imperial and band bows from 25 to50 cents. I am soiling a silk club tio at 4. centseach: A big variety ot colors to choose from.

A Spring Hat GuaranteeThe hats I sell, called the Beliable hat, which

sells at $2.00,,and the Howard hat, which Bellsat $3.00, are the very best hats in the market.They are in all colors and all shapes. The How-ard is a finer grade hat than the Reliable, butthey are both excellent.

If you buy one of these hats and it breaks,bring it back and I will give you a new hat freeof charge.'

I also sell a good derby hat in ..the latestspring shades at 85 cents.

Alpine Hats.I have all colors and shapes in Men's new Al-

pine Hats. Everything new and correctin styleis in my store. 1 am selling these hats all theway from 50 cents to $2.50. The fifty-cent hatsare not as good as the $2.50 hats. I don't be-lieve a hat as good as my fifty-cent Alpine wasever sold in Monmouth county at this price be-fore, and I know many stores are selling themat a dollar. The $2.50 Alpine hat is the best thatis made. No matter what you pay you can'tget a better hat than this, either for wear or looks.

Good News to Mothers.A generous part of our store is devoted to

boys' clothing. The growing boy is the comingman. By getting him in the habit of cominghere now for his clothing he will continue do sowhen he grows older. We carry a stock of boys'clothing such as will not be found in stores out-side of big cities; our prices are considerably lessthan city prices, and they enable practical mothersto practice economy of the right sort.

Broken Promises.Tlie state legislature at Trenton, which

adjourned last week, cannot be said tohave f ulQlled the hopes which thepeopleheld at its organization. In fact itwould almost seem as if the legislatorshad followed out the doctrine referred toin one of the jjrayers of the Episcopalianchurch, wherein it Bpeaks of doin^ manythings which should not be done and ofomitting to do many things which shouldbe done.

When the Republicans came in powerin the state three or four years ago, oneof the special declarations which was setforth in that campaign was that if theyshould be put in power a more economiccal administration of the state govern-ment would ensue, and that there wouldbe general reforms in money matters.•;Tbese same promises were made whenJohn W. Griggs was a candidate forgovernor, but the promises have notbeen kept. The only important measureof economy which has been passed wasthe repeal of the law authorizing theprinting of the laws in the newspapers.The repeal of this law was a good thing,both as a matter of economy and as amatter of general legislation; but themeasures of economy pa6sed by the"reform" legislatures began and endedwith this measure.

This year the Republicans believe thatthey are to have an endless reign ofpower, judging from some of the lawswhich have been passed and some whichhave not been passed. The mosfb impor-tant of the latter was the salary reductionbill. New Jersey pays larger salariesto officials than almost any other statein the Union, and the salaries are out ofall proportion to the services rendered.This year a bill was introduced in theassembly to reduce salaries to a reason-able figure. The bill was directly in linewith the promises made by the Republi-cans. It was a measure which was de-manded by the people generally as amatter of economy in these hard times.I t was a just measure; but though 'theRepublicans had a great majority in theassembly, they did not pass the bill.The three members from Monmouthcounty, however, deserve credit for hav-ing voted for the measure. •

Another bill which did not pass wasthe equal taxation bill. In some locali-ties, particularly in Jersey City, railroadproperty is taxed at a very much lowerrate than property owned by individuals.The rate of tax on private property therehas been $27.50 for many years. Undersome sort of a law railroad property there

• pays a tax of only about half this rate

source of support is now gone, and Re-publicans must-henceforth rely on theirown resources. Performances such asthose of the legislature this year are cer-tain to injure the Republican party, andconfidence in its' promises will be de-stroyed, Unless the promises of the partyare carried out by the next legislaturebetter tban they have by the legislaturewhich has just adjourned, it will be buta short time before the state of NewJersey is again under Democratic controlin every branch.

. I think I am beginning to understandwhat William J. Leonard mean3 whenhe says it is corrupt and dishonest forme to take pay for doing printing forthe county, while he takes the same payfrom Middletown township for doingone-third the service. I think he mustmean that my moral nature is so flabby,and my moral backbone is so weak, thatgetting money for doing work wouldprevent, me from saying what I thoughtought to be said. On the other handMr. Leonard thinks his morality is ofsuch a rugged character, and MB recti-tude is so robust, that he can not beawayed from the path of virtue even ifhe gets as much money as I get, whenhe gives less than one-third the service.

* * *Mr. Leonard's comments on ray mor-

ality, or rather my immorality, mycorrupt nature and -my base mind, aswell as on these traits in other news-paper men whom he does not fancy,are likely to create suspicion as to Mr..Leonard's own sancityy The man whosees nothing but evil jn others is apt tohave a character not wholly spotlesshimself. Capt. Benj. Griggs, in a recentspeech, declared that he would not per-mit the township committee of Middle-town township to give the printing ofthat township to any paper in the town-ship except Mr. Leonard's paper. Thiswas rather surprising, especially as underthe law the collector has absolutely noth-ing to say about the township printing.Mr. Leonard's morality about which hemakes such great boasts was not suffi-ciently vigorous to compel him to de-nounce such a ursupation of power, forreasons which will be rapidly observed,and which cannot be said to be creditableto Mr. Leonard.

* # *But Mr. Leonard's subserviency and

dishonesty is shown in still more pro-nounced ways. Mr. Leonard's heartbleeds for the taxpayers, but it does notbleed enough to prevent him from ex-tolling people who increase taxes byviolations of •' the law—provided theofficials who violate the luw give himthe public printing of Middletown town--ship. Mr. Leonard recently set forth indetail a statement of the manner inwhich ,,Capt. Benjamin Griggs hadviolated the laws of the state, and had

This is manifestly unjust, particularlj^aa. .compelled the county of Monmouth tothe railroads own a very large proportionof the property of the city, and are con-

' stantly acquiring more property there.The people of Jersey City asked that allproperty in the city be assessed at thesame rate, and that there be no favor-itism shown to railroads, This was sofair a proposition that it ia surprisingthat men could be found to combat it,but it was overwhelmingly defeated.

Ono of the extremely bad laws which•was passed was that extending the termof the mayor of Jersey City. Five yearsago the term of the mayor of JerseyCity was extended nnd was made fiveyeara, instead of two, aa formerly. TheDemocratts then had political possessionof Jersey City and the term was extendedin the full belief that a Democraticmayor would be elected. Under theindignation felt against the ballot boxstuffers in Hudson county, the domi-nant party was overthrown, and a Re-publican mayor was elected on a plat-form which called for economy in publicnontters and a decreased tax rate. Thesepj!OjniscB were not carried out. The taxrote .not only was not reduced, but theasaeBJuients were increased, BO that thetax paid by the property owners of ibiittax-burdened city were inciTiw J .

Mr. Leonard, was severe on thefreeholders for borrowing money to paythe county's indebtedness, but he baanot one word of censure for CaptGriggs,who, with other collectors of his stnpe,made this borrowing of money necessary.Instead of censure, he praised Capt.Griggs for violating the law, and de-clared that he was doing right.

AN OLD CHURCH RECORD.

A Baptist Association Meeting atMiddletown in 1SH4.

In looking over some old printed docu-ments I came across one that may be ofinterest to many of your readers, thoughthere may not be any person living whohas personal knowledge of the transac-tions recorded. Certain it is that all theactors are gone.

The document is entitled "Minutes ofthe New York Baptist Association, heldin the Baptist Meeting House in Middle-town, N. J., May 20th and 27th, 1824."

•'The elders and messengers compos-ing' this association convened at twoo'clock p. M. Brother Amaza Smithpreached the introductory sermon fromMatthew v : 14-15."\ " Brother William Parkinson openedthe association with prayer."

'.' Made choice of brother WilliamParkinson as moderator and brotherJames C. Goble, clerk."

Here are the first minutes .entered.William King's name appears aB pastorof the Middletown church, and the mes-sengers were Jehu Patterson, DanielSmith, John Hoff, David Thorpe, DanielT. Ketcham, John Beers and John D.Burge. Descendants of most of thesemen are still residents of Monmouthcounty. .

The Middletown Baptist church num-bered at that .time 95 members. Thenumber of churches in the associationwas 28. located mostly in New Jersey.Some were in New York city and vicin-ity, two in Connecticut and one onStaten Island.

One huudred and twelve baptismswere reported and thirty deaths for theyear, from the 28 churches in the asso-ciation.

Daniel Dodge was pastor atPiscataway(now Stelton), Harvey Ball at ScotchPlains, Samuel Trott at Morristown,Joseph Gildersleeve at Lyons Farms,Lebbens Lathrop at Samptown. (Newarkwas then pastorless), Jenkin David' atSouth River, G. S. Webb at New Bruns-wick, James C. Goble at Perth Amboyand Jacob F. Randolph at Plainfield.

Many will remember father, who livedto an advanced age in New Brunswick,where he died. He was tall and straightas a mast, dignified and courteous inmanner and greatly beloved. All ofthem have passed into the unseen worldwith their fellow actors.' Few if any ofthe 2,677 members of these chui-chesatthat date are living to-day, and it isdoubtful if there is a single name on theroll of the old church at that date whocould answer to the roll call to-day.

The following minutes set forth thefaith of these churches in that day.

*' Three equal persons in the DivineEssence; eternal and personal election toholiness here and eternal life hereafter;the original guilt and total depravity ofmankind ; particular, redemption; freejustification by the imputed righteous-ness of Jesus Christ; efficacious and ir-resistible grace in regeneration; the finalperseverance of the saints in grace; Waterbaptism by immersion on a professionof repentance towards God, and faith inour Lord Jesus Christ; and the eternalpunishment of the wicked in as unlimiteda sense as the happiness of the righteous."

"We acknowledge the power and in-dependence of particular churches andno authority or jurisdiction is to be ex-ercised over them by this association."

One of the "Rules of Decorum" asadopted by the association is worthy ofnotice as showing the spirit of independ-ence held then, as now, by these churches.

" AH questions shall be deoided by amajority of votes, except matters ofgreat magnitude, which snail require amajority of the churches; and a major-ity of the churches shall decide whetherit is of great magnitude or not."

Personal liberty was the sentiment ofthese people soventy-three years ago, asit ever has been, both in matters of be-lief and in government.

HINTS ON ADVERTISING.PRUNING DOWN ADVERTISE-

MENTS.

Many Advertisements Can Be CutDotcn and Made Stronger byTaking Out UnnecessaryAn Example of Horn To Do It.

{From Printers' Ink.)-That "pruning down " improves nine

advertisements out of ten is not an openquestion. It is, however, as easy toprune down too much as. too little. Inegreat art is to cut out everything that issuperfluous. The shortest road to thereader's mind is secured by using onlyenough words to impress the thought.Too few are worse than too many. Apractical lesson on " How, to Prune is

d d by many aprneeded by manyadvertisement:

advertisers. Take this

We have on hand a very Una anil excellentassortment of sliocs of all kinds wbloti wewill sell at low prices to suit the pocket ofall purchasers. Come and examine; no Dei uof purchasing it you do not find what youwont or what suits you. Our businessmethods are honest and abovo reproach.

Dr.Deane's

DyspepsiaPills.,please and take

The foregoing doesn't need very muchpruning, but it needs pome. For instance,the first sentence would be vastly im-proved by taking out the adjectives " avery fine," and simply saying: We haveon hand an excellent assortment of shoes."Of all kinds"is superfluous, becausethat is what "assortment" means." Which we will sell at low prices to suitall purchasers." "To suit all purchasers"is a redundancy, because low prices willnecessarily suit all 'purchasers. " Isoneed of purchasing if you do not findwhat you want, or what suits you isunnecessary, because if they find whatthey want, it will certainly suit them, orthey would not want it. "Our businessmethods are honest and above reproach."If they are honest, they must be abovereproach, must they, not? Now, takethe advertisement in its entirety, andcompare it with its previous condition:

Healthy hair is beautifulhair. It comes from ,ahealthy condition of thescalp.,. If your hair is thin—if it is falling out—some-thing serious is the matter.Schroeder's Hair Tonic willstop it from falling out.50 cents a bottle at Schroe-ders's Pharmacy.

Bicycle Shoes for Women.

It may be laid down as an almost in-variable rule, that the Ies3 adjectives andadverbs an advertisement contains themore effective it will be. It is an excel-lent plan to write the advertisement outvery fully at first, and .then strike out allsuperfluous words. The gain in strengthand conciseness will at once be madeapparent.

PERSISTENCY 18 WHAT PAYS.

Advertising Is Something LikeBuilding a Bridge.

Some people believe in firing off oneadvertisement and quitting if that adver-tisement( doesn't bring returns. Thereare very few people in the world whounderstand anything with one telling.You have to tell them twice or threetimes to make them believe you arein earnest. People are suspicious of astranger. You will have to advertise atthem long enough to let them get ac-quainted with you—to make them under-

. stand that you are a permanent institu-tion.

*The chances are that a one-time ad-

vertisement or a very small adyertise-• ment will not pay. It is only continuous,

persistent effort, an effort that is strongenough to make an impression, that willbe found adequately profitable,

Once in a while the one-time advertise-ment on a special occasion will bringgood results, but not one time in ahundred unless the advertiser has beenfairly well advertised in the communitybefore.• If the pier of a bridge is to be built in

the middle of a river, the builders com-menco by sinking stones for the founda-tibn. If they dropped the first stone andquit because they could not see it, thepier would never be built.

If they .dropped a dozen stones, one ontop of the other, and quit before the pilewas big enough to Bticft out of tho water,they would lose their tune and theirstone.

But if they go on, put in a good, solidfoundation und build up from that, theywill in time raise a pier that will bestrong ami permanent, and that will holdup a useful and necessary bridge.

.-li-lt is just so with advertising. The

first advertisements you drop in only- nerve as :t foundation—they do not serve

asaiiything if you do not drop in enoughof them— but if you keep on piling oneon top of tho •other, in tho end you willhavo a pjer which will sustain the bridgeof business all the rest of you life.

The water of competition will wash?away sonic of the stones, and they willhave to bo replaced, but once the pier isbuilt tho repairs will not ho very expen-sive.

y The Lost Spring.

Tell me, where did my childhood got;It faded away so still and slow.It was painted with crimson and decked with

gold .And laden with myBterloa manifold.Bnt the crimson paled, and the gold grew dimLike the sun on a sail at the ocean'a rim,And its light, and its thrill, and ita flnsh-ab,1 •' m e — * »'Went with its Joy and mystery.Into the shadows it vanished slow.Tell me, where did my childhood got

Toll me, where did my childhood gotWhere is its golden Booset's glow?Where ia Us outdoor breath of spring?Its burnished spot on a bluebird's WIUKPIta eager eyesf Its trusting touch? 'Its clean young heart that loved BO much?Faded and gone like the fragrance rareThat seemoth a part of childhood's prayer—Faint, like the vrosh of summer eeos,"Woven In misty memories.

Tell, mo, where did my childhood goTOver the hillside dim and low.Over the mountain, over the sea—Where all we-Jiave ever lost niay be—With its hues of orimson and tints of goldAnd hints of mysteries manifold,'With its broken dreams and its vanished play,Where « all can go, please God, some day-There our ohildhood waits tor us weary men.And there We may set it tack again.

A CHANGE OFTSOU1S.

"yes ," said, the ,old physician medita-tively, "the soul of nan la a most mysteri-ous thing. It is the divine gift' par excel-lence and is subjecf to no material, laws.Its relations to tho body are known to nonan, That Inner life which reigns sn-preme-ovor the kingdom of a man, thatstrange, immortal principle called a soul,is Independent of Its defiled temple. Oh,you may laugh," as an incredulous laughbroke from the lips of several, "but I tellyou wo>know nothing about the living,reasoning and loving part of a man,1 Thepower of God is unlimited, and Ms waysare past finding out. ' Who are we that wedare sneer at WB -works?''

"But, doctor," I remonstrated, "I do. not doubt the omnipotence of God. I onlyask if It is his will that the divine part ofoman should bedlBtlnot and separable,during life, from his mortal part. Onwhat do you base your theory f"

"Sir," said the doctor gravely, "withme It Is no theory, but an indisputablefact. I know that you will not believeme, but I have seen that which, to mymind, clearly proves that the eoul mayleave the body for a limited time, and that,too, without injury to tho body."

"Tell us the Btory, dootor," I asked.The doctor and I were members of thesame olub, and it was In the olnbroomthat the foregoing conversation took place.The others present had been silent listen-ers, but here one broke In, sayiDg:'"Yes,dootor, tell us about It. I have long be-lieved that the soul was an erratic sprite,and if you have any evidence In favor ofmy theory give It to us."

The mas of medicine lit a fresh cigarbefore replying. "It happened Beveralyears ago, before I enjoyed the extensivepractice I do now. A very intimate friendand brother physician was in love with abeautiful young lady in the town of C—Where we both lived. His affection wasnot returned, but the sister of his lnamorata, a beautiful brunette, loved him mad'ly, though Bcoretly. , *•''

"Well, the poor fellow did his beat toWin the love of Jennie Caswell, for thatwas the namo of the lady he loved, but alhis efforts seemed In vain. At last he deelded that ho had a rival; that his lad;loved some one clso. But try as he would,he could find no grounds for his belief.Finally, one night when ho called at theCaswell residence, he found another callerthere. It was an old chum, Paul Thomas,and he was calling on Edith, the brunetteslBtor. That night Bufllced to convinceJack—that was his name, Jaok Beverly—that Jennlo loved his friend Paul Thomna.He was also convinced that herlovowasnot returned, for all Paul's affections wereoivdently lavished on Edith. Paul had nr-rlved nt tho same conclusion In regard toJaok and Edith, and both conclusion!proved corroot. It was a most mixed upaffair. Here were two young fellows,friends, madly in love with two sisters,who in turn loved tho two friends, bueach loved tho wrong fellow.

"Things wont on thus for nearly imonth, when one day Paul went to Jackand asked, 'Sny, Jnok.nro you In love with

• Jennlo CaswoH?1 Jaok flushed up, for tht question was rather impertinont. But as

Paul was his friend and evidently in car-nest, ho replied, 'Yos, Pnul, I am,' 'Well,why tho deuce don't you sottlo matters BCI can do tho emnof Edith is very cold tomo, and, I think, loves you; but if youwore engaged to hor sister, I fancy it mighbo dlfloi'out.'

" 'Well, by George, Paul, but that1

curious, I mi) In the sama box. Jonnlcloves you and won't givo mo tho loast encourngement.' Paul looked doubtfully nlhis frlond for a moment boforo replying:'If that Is truo, I don't see nny help for us,TIIOEO girls arc awfully not In thoir wnyand will ovidontly marry no ono but tlvman they lo\o.' 'Well, I for ono donwant to marry a girl unless sho loves IUO,Bald Jack.

"After somo further talk thoy partedboth very imiish down henrtcd. Jack waieo thin and pulo that hie friends luinllknew him, while Paul's dospondont fnc<would liavb booonio a ghost bettor thanman. Both wore roligioun, nnd many anfervent woro tho pmyors that asconded totho throno of grnco from tho llpa of tlioHdespairing lovoro. Paul firmly beliovcthat thoy would finally jtrovall and wltho lovo of tho Klrlii, hut Jnok thought, aiI do, that tlio lovo of n woman, oneo Iwft to wort, uothluK cim chnngo it. Still, hihoped ugnlnxt hope,

)yer, that they were only in a trance, as i ts commonly called. I applied all the avail-

able remedies without success and wasbout giving up in despair. The cold, ool-irless cheeks and hands and the limporms were strongly snggestlve of-death.s a.dernle* reasort I resolved to try an

lectric battery and Bent for pne.' It eooaarrived, and I was preparing it when Mrs.Caswell, who was sitting at the bedside ofEdith, exclaimed, 'Oh, dootor, comequickly.' I hastened to her side and saw agreat change coming over the patient.

The breast heaved slightly, the eyelidswitched and a faint trace of color was

discernible in the face. Satisfied that con-sciousness was returning, I was preparing0 assist nature when a faint cry from theittendant at the other bed called' my at-ention and I crossed to it. The same

changes that had taken place In her sisterwere seen in Jennie. Just as I reached

er she opened her eyes. After lookingaround in a dazed Manner she heaved adeep sigh and closed her eyes again.- In avery few minutes she was asleep. Deeplypuzzled, I returned to the bedside of hersister. Her dark eyes were wide open, andas she saw me a faint smile crossed herfaoe. 'Where am 1?' she asked. 'Here youare, my dear, in your own room,1 her moth-er hastened to reply. 'You'have been 111and must not talk now.' 'But'— Buther mother had left the. room, and seeingthis sho lapsed into silence.

"In a few minutes Mrs. Caswell re-turned, bearing a bouquet of AmericanBeauty roses. 'Here are some of your fa-rorlte Sowers, dear,' she said, placing

them on a stand. 'Why, mamma, youknow I hate roses. White hyacinths aremy favorites.' Her mother looked aeton-iBhed, but taking up the flowers said shewould bring hyacinths. In the meantime1 had apportioned somo medicine, and nowtook my leave, telling Mr« Caswell toeend for me if 1 were needed again.

"I heard no more of tho young ladles farseveral days, or until Mr. Caswell calledto pay me for the visit. I then learned thatthey were.both perfectly well, but thattheir natures were entirely, changed.Their likes and dislikes hod been very pro-nounced, and as they were so different inphysique and temperament, so their tastesend inclinations had been almost opposite.Now they had so ohanged that neither anylonger liked the things Bhe once had. Infact, it seemed, as the perplexed fathersaid, as if they had exchanged natures. Ihad been puzzled before, but when Mr.Caswell took his leave I -was utterly at aloss to account for this strange occurrence.I had never heard of such a case. In fact,I believe it has no precedent. My profes-sion, however, soon drew my thoughtsaway from this perplexing case, and I hadalmost forgotten It', when one day myfriend Jack Beverly came rushing intomy office. I.knew from his radiant facethat some good fortune had befallon him,but never dreamed of its real nature. In avery few words he enlightened me. JennieCaswell had said she loved him nnd hadpromised to be his wife. 'And,' he' addedjoyfully, 'I know she loves me, for hereyes and manner plainly show it.' But hehad more news, fully as astounding. Hehad just left Paul, and Edith bad con-fessed her love for that young gentleman,who was in the seventh heaven of delight.

"Well, there is not much more to tell.These lovers were soon married, and twobmpier couples never lived. Neither Jaokuor Paul understands the sudden change ofaffection on the part of the girls, althoughboth declared that the very time when thesisters were in a trance mysterious voicesconversed with them Jn the tone's of theirsweethearts, assuring them that they weresoon to he happy. My own theory I havealways kept secret, but will now reveal Itto explain' ray VICSWB on the independenceof the soul, As I said, the Inclinations oftho young Indies wcro entirely ohanged.Each now liked the things the other hadonce liked and she herself disliked, andvice versa. Edith had been very versatileand gay, -while Jennie had been thought-ful, eamestj and rather melancholy. Aftertheir strango trance each was entirelyohanged. Jcnnio -was now tho gny,thoughtless sister, while Edith becamivery serious and somewhat dejeoted, although sho was perfectly happy in tho lovof Paul Xhomas. <

"To my mind it is plain that during thitranoo, when tho spirits were freed fromtho bodies and communed with their lovedones, an interchange of souls was made.Tho happy, trusting soul of Edith, whiohloved Jack Beverly, was Implanted in thibody of Jennie, -wlillo that of the latter,loving Paul Thomas, was transferred tctho corporeal part of Kdith. I know It Ia bold and tscomingly ridiculous thought,but it is the only explanation of tho niir-aolo." •

Profound sllonco followed tho conclusionof tho doctor's rcmarkahlo story. Ho hlmsolf roso, donned his overcoat, and with aparting word went out Into tho night.His dopartnro was a signal for tho break-ing up of tho olub, and in a fow minutestho room was yncnnt and shrouded Indarkness.

It will soon be moving and housecleaning time. Whether you move or whether youdon't there are sure to be lots of things you will find'you need in the house.

We have a better stock of goods in every department of house fur-nishing than we have shown at any previous season, and

our prices were never more attractive. -

CarpetsThe patterns in carpets this year are

large, and the colors are.rather more se-date than last year. We are selling a goodall-wool' ingrain carpet at 47 cents. Theycome in various patterns. One of the pret-tiest has a light groundwork with figuresof fern leaves and flowers in darker colors.We have ingrains at other prices also, andhave now on hand forty rolls of new pat-terns in ingrains. Velvet carpets and BodyBrussels are fast going out of fashion forordinary rooms, rugs being used largelyto take their places. We still keep thesegrades of carpets, however, in a variety ofpatterns.

Carpet RemnantsWe have on hand a lot of remnants of. Vel-

vet, Tapestry, Body Brussels and Ingraincarpets. The remnants range in size from•5 yards to 20 yards. The smaller piecescan be\used for rugs, while the larger onesare big enough to, carpet small rooms. Weare selling these remnants at 30 to 50cents a yard.

Rugs! These are superseding carpets more andmore each year. The smaller sizes areused also to put down in front of doors incarpeted rooms and in other places wherethe carpet is subjected to much wear. Theynot only add to the attractiveness of theroom, but they protect the carpet andmake it wear much longer. Japanese rugsrange from a very small size to those 9x12feet. The smallest sizes sell for 43 cents.The big rugs, which will serve as a floorcovering for a good sized room, sell for$7.80. Small Smyrna rugs sell for 40cents. The largest size we carry, 7 ^ ^feet, sell for $19.98. •

Carpet PaperThis is put under carpets to make, them

wear longer and make them easier to clean.The best sort is the pleated paper. It ismade of strong manilla paper, folded andfastened in pleats. It is very, thick, andwhen put under carpets the dust settles, inthe pleats or folds of the paper. Whenthe carpet is taken up at housecleaningtime the dust can be readily shaken out ofthe paper and it is ready for another year'sservice. . It will last a very long time, anda carpet will wear 25 per cent longer thanwithout the use of paper. The paper is sothick and yielding that it feels to the feetas if one were, walking over very thick andrich carpet. It cost 7 cents a yard.

Bedroom Suits r

We have these in a very large variety ofstyles. We are selling mofe of oak thanof any other wood. Oak is a little cheaperthan other woods, and this helps to makeit popular.

Many of these, even in thecheaper styles, are embellished with carv-ings.

Easy ChairsIn this line our variety is so great that

it would be impossible to describe evenone-tenth of the styles we offer. One ofthe very prettiest things in this line' is asewing chair, , either . with • or withoutrockers. It is white enameled, there isjust a suspicion of carving along thetop of the back, andrthe back is daintilydecorated with forget-me-nots, pansies, orother flowers.' They have upholsteredspring seats, and they are very cosy andrestful, the back being at exactly the rightangle to give the most comfort. Theycost $2.35, either with orwithout rockers..

ing around the top of the desk, - whileothers have .a small oval mirror at theback. •

Grass and Garden Seeds.In sowing grass seeds one of the most important requisites is that of getting clean seeds. Grass

seed that contains seeds of weeds injure the farmer doubly. The weeds take up part of the richnessof the soil and so make the crop smaller, and they also make the crop poorer- and less valuable.Getting clean seed is of first importance, and getting well-grown, mature seeds, grown under condi-tions which will insure their vitality,, is of- next importance. We are very particular about our grassseeds, and get only what we know to be strong, vigorous seeds, free from weeds of all kinds.

We sell Thorburn's garden seeds, and will send copies of this seed catalogue to any who apply for it.

PLOWS AND CULTIVATORS.'We sell all the popular styles of plows, including South Bend, Oliver, Boss, and regular cast-

steel plows. We. also keep snares, moldboards, and all repairs for plows^and cultivators. Anyspecial repairs not in stock can be got at a day's notice.
