Board o f Trade Has Enthusiastic Meeting

DR. FRED V. THOMPSON ASSUMES THE PRESIDENCY

Nine New Members are Elected and Committees for Year are Appoint­ed.

It is very evident tjaat the Belmar Board of Trade did well in electing Dr. F red V. Thompson president of the organization. Public spirited, enthusiastic and a w illing w orker he has often paused in the busy life^of a physician to assume some task of responsibility for the good of the borough and the w elfare of itsL peo­ple, and whatever he has undertaken of this nature he has usually pushed to a m arked degree of success. As soon as he consented to accept the presidency of the Board of Trade he began to stir things up and it is evi­dent by the large num ber of mem­bers who turned out to the meeting Monday night in the Borough Hall that he had inspired them with some of his enthusiasm. There were more than twenty-five persons pres­ent and there was a hearty discus­sion upon every subject w hich was brought up.

Upon assuming the chair Dr. Thompson gave voice to a few time­ly rem arks in w hich he depicted some of the things w hich a tho r­oughly live board of trade could accomplish for the betterm ent of Belmar. He said that there were seventy persons enrolled as members of the organization, but that many of them he had never seen at a meeting and urged greater interest and activ­ity. He spoke of the natural beau­ties of Belmar, its river, ocean and lake, dwelling somewhat in re tro­spection pointed to a few things which have been accomplished in a civic way and are to be accom­plished in the near future. He stat­ed that he came to Belmar in 1878 and that viewing the conditions of thirty-eight years ago and those of to-day, so much had been accom­plished that it all seemed like a won­derful dream.

Among the improvements to be expected in the near future, of which Dr. Thompson told, were the com­pletion of the Inlet work and the new bridge at A street. Among the needs of the borough was a larger hotel, w hich the Doctor averred would vastly benefit Belmar and w ork to the advantage of the small­er hotels as well.

Nine applications for membership were received and favorably acted upon by the board of directors. Those elected were; F. H. Shermer,F. E. Erving, Raymond Dildine, H. C, Higgins, W. R. Cobb, H arry Dil­lon, H. D. Scudder, Jr., .Joseph Co­hen and Dr. J. W. Hassler.

President Thompson announced his appointment of committees as follows:

Advertising—W. B. Bamford, C. B. Honce, W. H. Hoffman.

Finance—W. H. Hurley, William Allspach, Dr. William Newbold.

Auditing—F. H. Shermer, J. Ros- enfield, W. E. Allen.

BELMAR MAN HEADS COMPANY.

H. S. Isham, Inventor, President of Company Organized to Manufac­ture Steel Railroad Ties.

The annual meeting of the Univer­sal Safety Railroad Tie company was held in Belmar Tuesday. H. S. Isham, Belmar; William C. Morris, Spring Lake; and H. J. Hadley, Chi­cago, were elected directors. At a subsequent meeting of the directors, Mr. Isham was elected president, A. H. Hoag of Newark, vice president; and Mr. Morris, secretary and treas­urer.

This company is interested in a steel railroad tie which Mr. Isham invented and on which he was re­

cently granted a patent.The tie promises to revo­lutionize the railroad business in the United States.

The body of the tie is a steel I-beam to which are rivited plate steel chairs o r box yokes through w hich pass h a rd ­wood wedges. The yokes are cut away at their middle, the rails resting on the wedges in the re ­cess thus formed, while insulating spring clips w ithin the yoke secure the flanges of the rails upon the wooden wedges.

Each wedge forms a seat, for the rail to rest upon, the driving of w hich acts to tighten the clips. The wedges and clips are substantially of the same w idth as the flange of the I-beam. The shape of the clips and the recess in the yoke are such as to fix the position of the rail upon the tie.The firmness of the rail depends upon the fit of the wedges.

The box yokes are riv­ited to the web of the I- beam, the operation of riviting constituting all of the machine w ork requir­ed in the fabrication of the tie, the recessed yokes having been bent to prop­er shape.

These ties are being tested by the Delaware, Lackawanna and W estern railroad, carrying 91 pound rails, and are said to be highly satisfac­tory, and other companies are be^ coming interested in the tie. At the meeting Tuesday Herbert W. Beckes of Trenton was present in the in ter­est of several railroads.

The tie question w ith the railroads has become a serious problem, and the companies are eager to find a substitute for the wooden tie which has not only become exceedingly high in cost but, as every one knows, constantly requires replacing. If the steel tie, invented by Mr. Isham, stands the test of the heavy loads and the marvelous speed of the passenger trains of to-day it is very sure the railroads will adopt it.

J. U. Crawford, consulting engi­neer of the Pennsylvania railroad company, reports that he safety steel company, reports that the safety steel tie is 33 1-3 cheaper than the wood tie in present use.

IN MEMORY OF MRS. BROWN

Mrs. M argaret DesAnges Brown, who died on Wednesday, April 5, 1916, at her home, 525 W est 148tli street, New York City, in her fifty- fourth year was the wife of Charles F. Brown. She was the daughter of the late Hon. George W hite of W il­liamsport, Pa., and granddaughter of the late Rev. Joel Parker, D.D., at one time a prom inent Presbyter­ian m inister of the Fourth Avenue Presbyterian church of New York and president of the Union Theo­logical Seminary of New York.

Mrs. Brown died after a long ill­ness. Besides h e r husband she leaves five children, Mrs. Edw ard N. Vanbliet of Glen Ridge, Mrs. EugeneC. Delmar, Mrs. D. H. Fondor, Chas. Lefferts Brown and Miss Jeanne Phelps Brown of New York.

Mr. and Mrs. Brown are among our oldest summer visitors. They met on the sands at Belmar and have spent practically every summer w ith us at the ir home, 1104 Ocean avenue.

Many friends in Belmar annually anticipated the early return of the family for the summer season.

They represented and stood for all that was good for our borough.

They were regular attendants and contributors to the Tabernacle du r­ing the th irty-three years that ser­vices were held in that building.

Mrs. Brown was a devoted wife, loving mother, consistent and cheer­ful Christian. She was one of those sunny and congenial spirits that in­gratiated herself in the favor and confidence of all who knew her.

Consequently many feel this loss and sincerely sympathize w ith those who most deeply sorrow at this time.

Will Bring Material Prosperity to Belmar

FILM CITY WILL ATTRACT THOU­SANDS OF VISITORS

Monmouth Film Corporation Plans to Establish Amusement Park as Well as Motion Picture Plant.

The above half-tone shows how Film City will look. As stated in The Advertiser last week, Film City w ill be located on the picturesque prom ontory across Shark river, op­posite Eighth and Ninth avenues.

The various coast newspapers have had the home of the Monmouth Film Corporation located all the way from Belmar to Point Pleasant, but The Advertiser has the statement of William H. Cummings, fiscal agent of the corporation, that the City w ill occupy the site stated. The corporation has come into possession of 700 acres of land which it will utilize.

The City is to be more than a mere moving picture plant, though that in itself would be sufficient to attract thousands of visitors to the spot an­nually. It is to be an amusement park as well, something that will be a great boom for this section. I t will tend to add to the attractiveness of this locality so much that the sum­mer season, or ra ther the period of stay of the city people at the shore, will be m aterially lengthened and this w ill add to the prosperity of all the shore towns. W ith the City in such, close proxim ity to Belmar, this borough must surely come in for its share of prosperity.

The motion picture industry is to-day the fifth largest industry in the world. When one looks back­w ard over the brief span of years since the first moving picture amazed the w orld and stops to consider what the above statement means it seems almost incredible and the marvelous grow th of the industry a wonderful dream. Yet, the motion picture bus­iness is probably only now in its infancy and the wonderful things which w ill be accomplished through it in the way of reform s cannot be estimated.

It can tru thfully be said that the motion picture has done more than any one thing to promote the cause of temperance. The w riter knows something of conditions in Boston. At the north end of that city a few years ago the saloons w ere crowded nightly. To-day they are practical­ly deserted at night and the money which form erly w ent into the coffers of the saloon men is passed through thc motion picture house windows for tickets for the men, who form erly lined the bars, and their families. The same conditions prevail in o ther cities.

It is to m anufacture pictures of a high grade that the Monmouth Film

Corporation is prim arily building the City, and has interested men who have become famous in the motion picture world to oversee and direct the production of the films. F inan­cially men of high standing are back­ing the venture as they see in it a vast revenue. Those who are giving financial aid include many who are well known in this section and Mr. Cummings informs us that SenatorE. O. Brown is among those who are giving sincere and m aterial aid to tho pioject.

So vast is the demand for high grade photo-plays of the character to be produced at Film City that it is impossible to supply them to-day and the officers and directors of the corporation are active in getting the plant started and expect to put the first picture on the m arket by June 1. The first building to be erected on the site will be a large club house which will at first be used as a studio. Al­ready specifications are in the hands of contractors for bids and work on thc building will start very soon.

To turn back to w hat the City will do for Belmar and vicinity, it might be stated that Universal City located at Los Angeles, Cal., for the manu­facture of motion picture films has turned into that city more than $15,000,000 a year in revenue. This section, too, has many advantages over the California city to offer a moving picture plant. Every one knows that sunlight is the essential factor in the production of all pho­tographic films. It is said that the average hours of sunlight in Los Angeles is but two and one-half while this section offers an average of six hours. There is, too, a vaster population here to attract to such an amusement park. For four months in the year it is estimated that there is a population w ithin a drawing radius of Film City amounting to3,000,000. Both Greater New York and Philadelphia are w ithin a few hours’ ride by auto or train.

] The civic pride of Belmar council asserted itself at the meeting of the city fathers Tuesday night and they voted to expend $155 for trees and shrubbery to be planted in the new park at the head of Silver lake and along the north shore of that body of water.

The order w ill be placed w ith W il­liam S. Rose of Red Bank, who will do the planting. About fifty-two trees will be set out and eighteen privets. Mr. Rose has done much tree planting in this section and is known to be skilled at the work and thoroughly reliable.

Among the communications which came before the board for considera­tion was one calling attention to hens running at large on Tenth ave­nue and the council directed the board of health to take action re­garding the violation of the o rd i- ! nance prohibiting poultry running j wild. The board of health recently perm itted parties in the borough to make settlement of a case in court for violating this ordinance and it is', the intention now to stop poultry j owners from allowing their fowls to run at large.

Attention was called to low hang­ing boughs on some of the shade trees in the borough and the m atter was referred to the highway super­intendent.

A communication was received from William Heyman in w hich it was stated that his place on Tenth avenue had been entered and furni­ture taken. The m atter was referred to the police committee.

Councilman N. C. King of the fire committee reported that an order had been placed for 350 feet of Mal­tese cross hose for the fire depart­ment, and if it was found satisfac­tory 350 feet more was to be ordered. The breaking of three lengths of hose at the Morris fire and the fact that hose was to be advanced in price on April 1, caused the order to be plac­ed previous to that time.

Councilman F. V. Thompson re­ported that an order had been placed for fifty new meters for the depart­ment. It was also recommended tha t a new bicycle be purchased for the use of the superintendent of the w ater department, the old wheel

The first of a series of musicals is to be given in the Presbyterian church on Sunday evening, April 9, at 7.30 o’clock. These musical en­tertainm ents are under the auspices

| of the music committee of the Christ- I ian Endeavor society.

A very interesting program has been planned for the evening, con­sisting of vocal and instrum ental solos, duets, quartets and congre­gational singing which will con­sume the entire time usually taken for the evening service. Those who are to take p a rt include Mis? Isabell Brylawski, violinist; Mr. Poole, Mr. Sidwell, Miss Isabell Kohlhepp, and Emma E. VanNote.

The accompanists arc: Miss Hel­en Wildman, Mrs. R. G. Poole and Miss Elva P. VanNote. Everyone keep this date in mind and help make it a success.

An offering w ill be taken and the money raised w ill be used as the nucleus of a fund for the purchase of a new organ.

ENTERTAINS AT CARDS.

Miss Ethel Hance entertained a party of friends at cards a t her home, 305 Tenth avenue, last F riday after­noon. Five hundred was played. Mrs. R. G. Poole, who made high score, and Miss Beatrice Carpenter of Ocean Grove, who stood second, were given souvenirs. Guests’ priz­es w ere also given Miss Gertrude Taylor and Miss Virginia Hope Kel­sey.

Fertility Comes First

F ertility is the first w ord in farm ing. I t is th e first consider­ation in p lacing a value on new lands. I t is first m entioned w hen old farm s a re sold. It is the first problem th a t confronts the beg inner as well as th e ex­pert who takes up the cu ltiva­tion of new crops on new fields. It is the first in the lis t of ques­tions asked by those seeking help in farm ing. The solution of the fe rtility problem m akes o th ­e r problem s m uch easie r of solu­tion.

SO IL FERT IL ITY THE B A S IS

N o r th C a ro l in a Y ie ld s G r e a te r T h a n V irg in L a n d o f T e x a s .

Is v irg in land m ore profitable than soil th a t has been in tensively cu lti­vated for over a cen tu ry? A com pari­son of yields in T exas and N orth Caro- lina show s th a t w hen a tten tio n is g iv­en to th e m ain ta in ing of soil fe rtility th e question of decreasing yields does no t trouble. The older land is in­creased ra th e r th an decreased in its productiv ity . T exas averages 510.9 pounds of co tton p e r ac re and N orth C aro lina averages 814.2 pounds per acre, a lthough N orth C arolina has been in tensively cu ltiva ted for over a century.

F a rm ers of M aryland, D elaw are and V irgin ia who have been m ain tain ing fe rtility th rough m anures and fe r til­izers a re g e tting g rea te r yields a t low­e r cost per un it th an fa rm ers of the Middle W est, who have been using Eoil th a t bu t a few years ago was v ir­g in land. W ith th e fe r tility m ethods w hich are becom ing increasing ly pop­u la r th roughout these sta te s , th e farm ­ers a re becom ing m ore prosperous and th e ir soils a re increasing ly productive.

The Ind ians w ere the f irs t fa rm ers in A m erica. Investiga tions of th e ir m eth ­ods show th a t they understood the value of applying fe rtilize r in grow ing corn. T he w ords “m enhaden” and “poghaden” m ean t fertilizer, according to P ro fesso r T rum bull, an au tho rity on Ind ian life. In V irginia, in 1632, T hom ­as M orton w ro te : “T here is a fish (by som e called shads, by som e allizes) th a t a t th e sp ring of th e y ear passes up the rivers to spaw n in the ponds and a re tak en in such m ultitudes each year in every riv e r th a t h a th a pond a t the end, th a t the in h ab itan ts fe r­tilize th e ir land w ith them . You m ay see in one tow nship a hundred acres a ltoge ther th a t have been se t w ith these fish, each ac re tak in g 1000 of them . An acre thus d ressed will p ro­duce and yield as m uch corn as th ree ac res w ithout fish.”■ In New E ngland, an Indian , Squanto, tau g h t the P ilg rim s how to ra ise corn by fertiliz ing th e land w ith fish, caugh t in early April. G overnor B radford, in h is “H isto ry of th e P lym outh Colony,” says th a t Squanto tau g h t th e se ttle rs th a t “except they got fish and se t the old grounds w ith them , it would, come to noth ing.” S quanto’s teach ings w ere tried in 1621, and the follow ing year, ano ther w riter, George M ourt, re ­corded in h is “Jo u rn a l,” th a t 20 acres of corn and six acres of barley, trea ted as Squanto had taugh t, m ade an excel­len t yield.

C onducting experim ents to de te r­m ine the value of d ifferent applica­tions of fe rtilize r on corn, R. F. Hol- berton, of “R ocklands F a rm ” in O r­ange County, Va., increased th e yield over 19 per cen t and increased the n e t profits per acre $8.53, th rough the use of 900 pounds of high g rade fe r til­izer per acre. H e had been using 500 pounds per acre and had been getting 70 bushels per acre. W ith the heav ier application , he m ade 92 and one-half

I bushels per ac re from a tw o-acre plot, iln every o th er detail his m ethods w ere 'th e sam e as w ith the sm aller applica­t io n of fertilizer.[ F iguring 22 and one-half bushels of icorn p e r acre increase, a t 70 cen ts per | bushel, th e gross ga in per acre was i $15.75. The cost of the fe rtilize r ! am ounted to $5.72 per acre and the cost of application am ounted to $1.50

'p e r acre. Mr. H olberton explains th a t Ithe corn cam e up unevenly and th a t 1 tran sp lan tin g did no t help th e field m uch. The season w as unusually dry, land Mr. H olberton claim s th a t under norm al conditions his yield would have been over 100 bushels per acre.

Larger Yields More Profitable

County A gent W. L. K irby, of Or­ange County, V irginia, does no t be­liev e th a t fa rm ers should take “snap judgm ent” of th e p resen t fe rtilize r situation . In th e O range O bserver, he points ou t th a t a bushel of co m will take care of th e increased p rices of fe rtilize r per acre and th a t V irgin ia farm ers ought to p lan for la rg e r crops during the com ing season.

Fighting Pests With Fertilizer

“Com m ercial fe rtilize r and farm m anure help the corn crop to w ith ­stan d and cover th e a tta ck s from in ­sec t pests ,” says A. P. Sibold, County A gent, Giles County, Va., in th e South­e rn P lan te r. E arly p lan ting , p len ty of seed, and frequen t cu ltivations will a s s is t in com bating the pests.

F a rm records show, and good farm ­ers ag ree th a t diversified farm ing is m ost profitable. D iversified farm ing m eans ra is in g livestock and various k inds of crops. I t gives opportunity fo r crop ro tation , fo r grow ing cover crops in connection w ith profitable cash crops, and enables the fa rm er to m ore profitably opera te h is fields w ith ­ou t decreasing th e fertility , bu t ra th e r adding to the productive ab ility of the soil. I t enables th e fa rm er to carry­out the b e s t fa rm p ractices, including the use of m anures and fertilizers, proper tillage, good seed, drainage and lim ing w hen necessary .

Econom y in th e buying of cheap seed is poor economy in m ost cases. It pays to use good seed, to lim e tlie land w hen needed, to ro ta te crops, to conserve barnyard m anure and to use fertilizers w isely and liberally . W ith­out paying p roper a tten tio n to the fundam entals of farm ing, the resu lt of a y e a r’s w ork a re liab le to be losses instead of profits.

The report of the special commit- j tee having the People’s Entertain- j m eat course in charge gave a report. It showed that at the completion of the series of entertainm ents there ' was a balance of $90.90 on hand. I t ‘was voted to set this sum aside as i a separate fund for thc use of the! entertainm ent committee and a vote j of thanks was given the committee j for its excellent work. The individ-1 ual members of the committee p re s - : ent expressed satisfaction for the i hearty co-operation w hich they were I given in the work.

The fact was brought out that the Board of Trade was starting the year in a much better financial con­dition than at this period a year ago, having a small balance in the treas­ury.

A communication from II. M. Ham­burg, president of the Newark Cham­ber of Commerce and a summer resident of Belmar, was received. It was in reply to a le tter sent him • requesting speakers to address th e 1 board. Mr. Hamburg expressed a willingness to co-operate in the w ork and to see that speakers were furnished w hen desired. The letter was referred to the entertainm ent committee, which was empowered to ! secure speakers. It is planned to have three or four meetings during the year at w hich out-of-town men will speak on timely subjects and it is probable that the meetings w il l ! be public.

A communication from a manu­facturing concern desiring to locate a factory for the making of women’s

| underw ear and w hich would, it was i claimed, employ about 150 persons of both sexes, was received. In the letter some inquiries regarding the chances of securing help, etc., were made. This communication brought out a whole lot of talk and met w ith some opposition from members of the board who look upon Belmar as

1 prim arily a summer resort. Thc general opinion prevailed that there was no suitable locaton for a m anu­facturing plant w ithin the limits of the borough, but that such a plant located at West Belmar would be of m aterial benefit to that section of the town, and would in no way work to the detrim ent of Belmar as a res­idential section. There were so many diverse opinions, however, that definite action was not taken.

The speakers branched off into discussions regarding the new bridge

! at A street, the w ork on the Inlet and the need of a new hotel. W. B. Bamford spoke in ra th e r an optimis-

I tic vein of the new hotel, averring that at the present time they did not have the “point” on w hich to locate such a building, but that upon thc completion of the Inlet work and thc new bridge across the inlet, a hotel which would rank well w ith any now established in the coast resorts was practically assured.

The m atter of better train service at this season of the year was brought up and referred to the ra il­road committee to see w hat could be done, in connection w ith other bor­oughs, in securing an additional train for New York between 7 and 8

| o’clock in the morning and into Bel­mar from the metropolis at night.

From now on until the eventful date the hope that springs eternad in America’s youth w ill keep the fathers and mothers of this fair city on the tiptoe of expectancy as their dutiful off-springs have gotten them to promise to take them to the circus. Lives there a boy with a soul so dead that the typical Amercan circus does not strike a responsive chord? It’s a m atter of extreme doubt.

Barnum & Bailey’s opening day yesterday afternoon at Madison Square Garden, New York, was a red le tter day for the old as well as the young as they, too, w el­come the excuse to accompany the children to see the circus.

To typify interest this year and to knock sky-high the belief that there is nothing new under the sun, the Barnum & Bailey circus is offering a wonderfully new spectacular pa­geant “Persia” or the pageants of the thousand and one nights, which teems w ith life, action and color and has 1400 persons taking part besides 780 horses and camels. This mam­moth pageant opens one of the big­gest shows ever produced under the magic name of Barnum & Bailey.

Three herds of elephants present­ed by Barnum & Bailey’s lirs t and only elephant trainers, are one of the features this year.

The circus management is showing some fine Arabic steeds, finely cap­arisoned; elephants and camels w ith complete embroidered trappings, ap­propriately equipped w ith parade accoutrements, w hich all combined w ith the costumed troops of Oriental types and the incidental music of that period make the pageant an im­pressive and imposing affair.

Aside from the opening feature there are all kinds of real circus acts from the wonderfully-daring eques- trianic feats, awe-inspiring aerial stunts, m idair deeds of death-defy­ing nature, perform ing animals, fun- making clowns, and acrobatic m ar­vels to the usual procession past the w ild animal cages in the menagerie before the main performance, where will be seen a family of giraffes with the only baby giraffe in captivity.

It would seem sometimes as if the world prefers to rem ain un­happy. Someone comes along and puts forth an idea to end suffering or unhappiness and at once the ob­jection is advanced, “0 , that’s Uto­pian,” or “He’s a dream er.” And another comes along and puts some spot of beauty in the landscape dis­associated from his own personal property and everyone looks blank­ly and says, “W hy does he do it? ” or “He must have money to throw away.” Discouragement, criticism, indifference seem the portion of the man or woman who seeks to make beautiful that wThich is ugly, until it appears as if the people p re­ferred that the face of America should remain unbeautiful. The dream er becomes a man to be pitied instead of listened to; the woman who w ants to plant a tree on the avenue, a vine on the school house, or a shrub on the square is “queer,” and the wonder is expressed, “W hat is she up to ?” Curious how little imagination we have to recognize things for their good when they are suggested or planned. T ruly do we Americans need ears w ith which to hear and eyes w ith w hich to see, and the spirit w hich encourages the good and the beautiful wherever and howsoever it is suggested.

iards had navigated the Gulf of Mex- 1 ico for two centuries, they appeared to have taken little interest in this territo ry ; ignorant doubtless that it formed the mouth of one of the larg­est rivers on the globe. It was not until after the French had become established in Canada and had ex­plored the Mississippi to the sea in 1.682, that the real history of Louis­iana commenced. In 1699, Iberville

j founded the lirst colony near the mouth of the river. In 1699, Louis XIV of France granted a charter to M. Cozart, w hich included the whole territo ry of Louisiana and in 1718 the city of New* Orleans was estab­lished. In 1762, the French ceded

[Louisiana to Spain and from that time until 1800 the territo ry made very little advance either in popula­tion or wealth, and Bonaparte, then F irst Counsul, succeeded in having it retroceded to France. It rem ain­ed n o m in a lly a French colony un­til 1803, when the United States p u r­chased it for $15,000,000. The te rri­tory comprehended in this purchase included not only the present state of Louisiana but also the country now occupied by the states of Arkan­sas, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Okla­homa, the Dakotas and the greater part of Minnesota. The American flag was raised in New Orleans on December 20, 1804. February 11,1811, an act of Congress enabled the inhabitants to form a constitution and state government and on Arpil 8,1812, the territo ry was admitted into the Union.

President, and a new election took place, the two highest candidates, as leaders of opposite parties, were John Adams and Jefferson. Adams, having the largest vote, was declared President, while Jefferson, having the next highest, became the Vice President. The strife of these p a rt­ies culminated in 1800 when Jeffer­son and Aaron B urr w ere elected President and Vice President, against Jbhn Adams, the Federal candidate. Though born and educated in the first ranks of colonial life, Jeffer­son was a Democrat in theory and practice. He held that “the world is governed too much,” and that “that government is best which governs least.” Though a large slaveho ld ­er, he labored for the prohibition of the slave trade and slavery in the territo ry beyond the Ohio river and advocated emancipation in Virginia. His death was very remarkable. It occurred on the Fourth of July, 1826, while the nation was celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Declara­tion of Independence, which he had w ritten. On the same day and al­most at the same hour, John Adams, the second President, who had sign­ed w ith him the Declaration, died in New England.

ARBOR DAY.

Friday, April 14, w ill be Arbor j day. Prepare to plant a tre e !

Give fools their gold and knaves their power;

Let fortune’s bubbles rise and fall;

Who sows a field or trains a flower,Or plants a tree is more than all.

Americans are beginning to think more and more of trees. Little by little the tru th has dawned upon them tha t from the Atlantic to the Pacific, there has been too reckless a disregard for trees. The woodman and his axe have wrought destruc­tion to such an extent that the soil and the streams have suffered great­ly as tim ber has approached the fam­ine stage.

New Jersey, unlike some other states, is fortunate to have a good area of forests, though some of them are poor. There is, however, great need of conservation, development and improvement of wThat we have. On the other hand we need more street shade, more parks, more greenery of every kind about our homes and schools. Therefore Gov­ernor Fielder*s proclamation should fall upon eager, responsive ears. To the young in particular, should it appeal—the, young anxious to ob­serve the evolution of plant life, proud of a little task amiably done and desirous of pointing in old age to a tree started and nourished by them, a monument to childhood and juvenile wisdom.

The planting Qf a tree in a formal w ay is an old custom, but Arbor day, as we know it in the United States, is a fairly modern institution. It was conceived by J. Sterling Morton, who, at the annual meeting of the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture in Lincoln on January 4, 1872, in tro ­duced the following resolution, w hich waS adopted:

“Resolved, That Wednesday; the 10th day of April, 1872 be, and the same is hereby, especially set apart and consecrated for tree planting in the State of Nebraska, and the State Board of Agriculture hereby names it Arbor day, and to urge upon the people of the State the vital impor­tance of tree planting, hereby offer a special premium of $100 to the Agricultural society of that county in Nebraska w hich shall, upon that day, properly plant the largest num­ber of trees; and a farm lib rary of $25 w orth of books to that person who. on that day, shall plant proper­ly in Nebraska, the greatest number of trees.”

It was that resolution w hich creat­ed the first American Arbor day and resulted in the planting of 1,000,000 trees in Nebraska on the date named.

View the m atter as a manifestation of sentiment or as a branch of econ­omies, the planting of a tree is most desirable. So get your implements

T he W eek in H is to ry .April 7-—P. T. Barnum, the well-

known American showman, died, 1891. Barnum asquired the sobri­quet, by his own admission, of “Prince of Humbugs.” He was born at Bethel, Conn., in 1810. He early manifested an aversion to w ork of the ordinary kind. After an unsuc­cessful attempt in the newspaper line, he took a share in the manage­ment of a strolling theatre. Subse­quently he obtained possession of an old negress, wdiose proprietors rep­resented her as having been the nurse of George W ashington; she was said to be 160 years old. Barnum adopted the story, and by means of his tact as a showman, and by dint of the most astonishing “sm artness” he induced thousands in every city in the United States to flock to see the early guardian of the great Liberator. On the other side of the Atlantic, pathetic pictures were draw n by the anti-slavery ora­tors of the degradation thus cast on the great General of the Republic. After the death of his old negress, Barnum bought the American Muse­um in New York and soon brought it into high repute and prosperity. His next great card was General Tom Thumb; but his most enterprising speculation was the engagement of Jennie Lind for a series of concerts in the United States, Canada and Cuba, by w hich he claimed to have netted $350,000. On his re tu rn to the United States, he was elected president of a bank, became largely interested in real estate in Bridge­port and its vicinity, and promoted agriculture and th rifty enterprise generally, w ith all the zeal of a pub­lic-spirited and benevolent citizen. In 1855, he published his Autobiogra­phy, a candid and amusing relation of the innum erable artifices by

i which he attained his notoriety. In 1856 his fortune became impaired by disastrous business complications,

! and in 1857-8 he gave lectures in | London, and some of the provincial cities of England on his methods of obtaining notoriety as a stepping-

; stone to making money. In 1868 he was unsuccessful candidate to Con­gress from Connecticut and in 1870 he resumed his old occupation of traveling showman. His death end-

i ed an unparalleled career.

April 11—Edward Everett, an American statesman, orator and au­thor born, 1794. He studied divinity w ith a view of the office of pastor and became; before he was twenty, m inister of a large Unitarian church in Boston. In 1815 he relinquished the pulpit for the professional chair of the Greek language and literature in H arvard university. After a so­journ of five years, during w hich he studied German and visited Euro­pean countries, he returned to Amer­ica and entered upon his university duties with large stores of accumu­lated learning and knowledge. In 1820 he added to the duties of his chair those of editor of the North American Review w hich he conti 11- ued to perform for four years, In 1824 he was elected to the House of Representatives and in 1836 became Governor of Massachusetts. In 1841 he was appointed m inister to the English court, w hich post he held for about five years and on his re ­turn was elected president of H ar­vard University, w hich he was sub­sequently compelled to resign on ac­count of ill health. In 1853 he was elected a member of the Senate of Massachusetts. . Throughout his ca­reer, Mr. Everett evinced an ardent attachm ent to literary pursuits and published two volumes of orations, delivered by him on various occa­sions. He died in 1865.

A resolution was adopted author­izing the lighting committee to not- tify the W estern Union Telegraph

I company to remove all dead poles in the borough and to inform the

I company that fire alarm system wires on Tenth avenue would be re­moved before the company reached the poles on which they w ere strung. In a letter under date of March 10, the ccompany signified its wil-

, lingness to co-operate w ith the bor- ’ ough in the removal of the useless j poles.

The special committee on the Shark river inlet work reported that upon Mayor Poole’s request Coun­cilman Bamford went to Trenton and appeared before the appropria­tion committee of the legislature and presented the mayor’s le tter urging that an appropriation be. made to complete the work and that the ap­propriation had been made. The Advertiser, w hich last week reported an appropriation of $25,000 for the work, was the first paper to give the news to the public.

April 12—Fort Sumpter iired upon, 1861. Major Anderson, in command, of the fort sent word to President Lincoln that he could not hold the fort unless provisions were sent to him. His entire garrison consisted of about eighty-five officers and men; the Confederate force in Charleston was about 7,000. The government made arrangem ents to send the need­ed supplies and as soon as Jefferson Davis heard of it, he ordered General Beauregard to demand a surrender of the fort. Major Anderson de­clined to surrender and at daybreak, April 12, the Confederates fired the first gun at the fort. It was answ er­ed by one from the fort and the w ar was begun. After the nine batteries had rained shot and shell against the fort for thirty-nine hours, Major Anderson, finding his ammunition was nearly exhausted and having lit­tle left to eat, decided to give up the fort and on April 14 he, w ith his gar­rison, left the fort and embarked for New York, carrying w ith him the shot-torn flag under w hich he and his men fought.

April 13—Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States, born at Shadwell, Va., 1743. In 1773, as a member of the assembly, he took a prom inent part in the measures w hich resulted in the calling of the Continental Congress, to w hich he was sent as a delegate*, w here he drew up the Declaration of Inde­pendence. During the w ar in de­fence of this declaration, he was Governor of Virginia and in 1784 wras sent Minister to France. Re­turning in 1789, he was appointed by Washington, Secretary of State. Jef­ferson led the party in favor of state rights and a Federal government of destricted and carefully defined powers. The other party took the name of Federalists. The latter were first called Anti-Federalists, then Republicans and finally adopted the title, first given them as reproach, of Democrats. When Washington retired after eight years of office as

Florence N ightingale w hose death occurred a t the advanced age of JO, w as a revo lu tion ist in the ii’.ost. splen­did sense of th a t term . She i t w as w ho revolutionized nursin ;; to '.hat ex te n t th a t she m ay be considered as th e m other of th a t profession.

Previous to her en trance in to the field the sick w ere the victim s of callous ignorance and g rasp ing in ­difference, but F lorence N ightingale introduced the tra ined , skilled and gentle hospital nurse, diatricc l.urse and military nurse of today.

C ertainly lo few w om en—and to few m en—has it been given to serve th e ir fellows, so splendidly and so ef­fectively. F lorence N ightingale found chaos in m ilitary hosp ita ls; she crea ted order and all Ihat order im ­plies.f A fter the b a ttle of A in a , in the C rim ean w ar, the m ilitary hospital a t S cru tari was like a d irty sham bles. W ounded m en died in hundreds in the m idst of squalor and verm in. Crowds of poisonous flies buzze l ceaselessly above the sick; p roper food could nor be had ; th ere w ere no arrangem ents for w ashing or san ita tion .

The plight of th e wounded soldiers, herded together in th is hotbed of pes­tilence, w as w orse than if they had been left upon - th e battlefield. “Arc th ere no devoted woiveu am ong you,” w rote R ussell, the fam ous w ar corres­pondent of the Lone :-:i T im es, “able and w illing to go fo.-th and adm inis­te r to ttie sick and suffering soldiers in the east in the h i-.pitals at Scutari? Are r one of the daughters of England a l th 's hour of need, ready for such a '\ c ; k ot m ercy?”

This appeal w as answ ered alm pst in stan tly . Sidney H erb e rt w as then p: the head of the wa" office, and •viien the au thorities began to be in- urd i-.ed by le tter? from women of all c lasses anxious tc r is j i md *o th e call, Mr. J e r b e r t ’s th 'l ig h ts a t once tu rn ­'d to the lady A'ho v/a‘3, in h is opin i » th e one w om an capable of organi/.- u v and tak ing out to th e Crim ea a Mil f t of nurses. Th-: woman was J'lo ivnce N ightingale.

3i|j:;s N ightingale w as 34 a t the tim e and from h e r childhood she had de­voted h erse lf to the study of hospital nursing and hospital m anagem ent. In 1849 she had enrolled herse lf as a vol­un tee r nu rse a t the f irs t tra in ing school for sick nurses estab lished in m odern tim es—the D eaconess in s titu ­tion a t W alserw orth , on the Rhine. W hen the w ar broke ou t there was no w om an in all E ngland b e tte r fitted than F lorence N ightingale to give to E ngland 's so ld iers com fort and relief

Mr. H e rb e rt w rote to Miss N ightin­gale and asked h e r if she would go out and superv ise the whole thing. H is le t te r crossed one from her, for on th e sam e day F lorence N ightingale had w ritten to th e w ar office offering her services in the hosp ita l a t Scutari. The offer showed splendid courage.

W ithin a w eek of m aking h e r re ­solve, Miss N ightingale had h e r f irs t contingent of nu rses in m arch ing or­der. She had selected th irty -eigh t nu rses to accom pany her, and they a r­rived a t S cu tari on th e day before the b a ttle of Inkerm an. And w ithou t a m om ent’s loss of tim e th a t lady in chief and h e r s ta ff se t to w ork to cleanse th e Agean stab le w hich they found w aiting for them a t the g rea t barrack hospital.

In a sh o rt tim e th e place w as en­tire ly renovated. E very th ing w as scrubbed, old clothes w ere burned, a k itchen and laundry w ere established and the place becam e a com fortable well organized hospital. F lorence N ightingale superin tended everything. She w orked as h ard a t th e routine and organizing as th e nursing itself. At a ll hours of th e day and n igh t she w puid w alk silently , lam p in hand, th rough th e w ards, giving a w ord of com fort here and in s truc tion there. She saved th e lives lite ra lly of hun dreds.

W ounded m en so horrib ly m angled th a t doctors gave them no hope, and o th er nu rses could no t bring them ­selves to touch them w ere saved from death by tho tire less care of th is won derful woman. The m en w orshipped th e very shadow of th is lady w ith the lam p.

The suprem e w om anliness of the w ork of Miss N ightingale m ade her the idol of th e E nglish people. Three m onarchs paid th e ir tr ib u te to her. R e­m em bered by royalty she w as no t fo r­go tten by th e people. On h e r re tu rn , sh a tte red in health , from S cutari $250- 000 w as p resen ted to her by a g ra te­ful nation. She used i t all for th e founding of th e N ightingale T rain ing Hom e for N urses a t St.. T hom as’ hos­pital, England, w hich is p rac tically the p a ren t of m odern tra in ing homes th roughout th e world, ju s t as Florence N ightingale w as th e m other of all p resen t day nurses.

Paolo’s Ruse.Desda, wife of Paolo Micca, scream ­

ed a t th e sigh t. W h a t she saw w as ! m erely a sparrow th a t had flown in th e open window of th e d in ing room on a m ild F eb ruary m orn ing ; th a t w as all. B ut to h e r Ita lian h e a rt i t w as an om en of ill luck.

I t seem ed m ore so th a t n ight, for Paolo, h e r husband, cam e home a t m idnigh t quite drunk. H e sm ashed dishes and th rew th e fu rn itu re about; he sw ore and raved. The little girl, now six, woke up crying. The one year old baby woke too and joined the w ail­ing.

To his w ife’s rem onstrances he paid no atten tion .

“W here is V ioletta?” he k ep t r e ­p ea ting thickly. “V ioletta is a fine g irl.”

T hat w as all. H e tum bled in to bed and w as soon snoring.

V ioletta, th e comely se rv an t g irl and L upo’s spy, had pricked up h e r ea rs ; she heard it all. H ere w as a chance! In the m orning she would w rite to Padrone Lupo in Sw itzerland.

She had m uch to w rite to him as th e w eeks w ent by. Paolo w as drunk m ore th an half th e tim e. H e m ade advances to her, too, w hen his w ife w as no t looking.

V io letta did not mind. She told Lupo th a t it helped her gain inform a­tion. I t did. M oreover—Paolo w as a handsom e m an. V io letta saw a chance to pay back h e r m istress fo r her form ­e r “lording it over” her.

In mid M arch th e re w as a violent quarrel betw een husband and wife. Desda Micca, inadverten tly seeing som e of the advances, sum m arily de­m anded V io letta’s in s tan t dism issal. Paolo refused po in t blank, te lling h is w ife th a t she could “go w hen she liked ,” bu t th a t V ioletta, over and above any one els<i in the house, s tay ­ed on.

And now behold a strange scene in th a t household. The se rv an t w as no longer one. She cam e and w ent as she pleased.

"T he P adrone Micca is behind m e,” she would say im pertinen tly to the w ife; or, “I take m y orders from the Padrone Micca, no t from you.”

D esda Micca w as no t th e type of w om an to go in to a co rner and cry. She saw th e love of h e r husband slip p ing g radually aw ay from her. All h e r a r ts and w iles she tried .

She w as sw eet and consoling w hen she could have been furious. She for­gave quickly and offered h e r lips to be k issed to th e m an she could have shunned. To Paolo th is w as bu t add­ing sa lt to th e self in flic ted wounds.

One day early in May th e brew ing sto rm broke. Paolo had stayed home all day. The business a t th e re s tau ­ra n t had gone to rack and ru in th rough his neglect.

I t w as ra in ing so both th e child ren w ere in th e house. T hey played about in th e d in ing room, w here w ere also Paolo and V ioletta. Desda had gone in to th e parlo r to a tten d to some dust­ing. Coming hack noiselessly in to the dining room , a th ing she saw froze her to th e spot. V io letta s a t upon her husband’s lap, w hile h is arm encircled th e g irl’s w aist.

“S an ta M aria!” scream ed th e wife, h e r jealous rage ram pan t. “B etore the very eyes of th e children, Paolo, w ith th a t—th a t—”

The fu ry in h e r h e a rt choked the re s t of th e speech.

V io letta stayed w here she w as. j M oreover, to m ake m a tte rs worse, she sneered . T h a t w as too m uch for Des­da. She siezed the errin g se rv an t by th e h a ir w ith one hand and beat her wildly w ith th e o ther.

“Jade! Vixen! H u ssy !” shrieked th e ou traged wife as she dragged the scream ing girl about the room. At f irs t Paolo w as too dum bfounded to in terfe re . W hen he did, th e sc ra tch ­ing, claw ing two w ere out in th e hall. W ith d ifficulty he separa ted them .

“You tak e h e r ; :irt, of cou rse !” snarled D esda like a tig ress a t bay.

“Indeed I do,” he answ ered savage­ly; then , tu rn in g to the g irl: “Go Vio le tta , m io— you know w here to m eet m e.”

H e siezed his w ife by the w ris t and dragged h e r back in to the room.

“W hen I pu t a few s tripes on th is one’s back I ’ll be w ith you.”

The girl saw him roll up his sleeves and reach for the poker; saw th e wife cow er in a corner. Paolo closed the door. In a m om ent a w om an’s shrieks ra n th rough th e house.

T he children, the g irl carry ing the baby, ra n in to th e fron t room. Desda ra ised h e r elbow over h e r head. The w om an w as gone. L e t th e beating come if she would s tay so. She closed h e r eyes. No blow fell. Instead , her husband’s voice w as w hispering :

“Desda! Desda, m y d ea re s t one, lis ten . W hen I strik e th e sofa, cry ou t.”

H e struck . U nderstanding, she cried ou t shrilly . A gain and again the poker thudded on th e upholstered couch. She did as he bade her. Now he caught h e r tenderly in h is arm s. In w ild rap id sen tences he spoke to hei betw een h is blows and h e r shrieks.

“Desda, my beloved one can’t you see th a t a ll th is is bu t to catch the W olf napping? W hat I do w ith V iolet­ta she te lls him . I w ant him to think I have abandoned the V endetta . It is only th rough h e r I can reach him. She m ust te ll him I am a d runkard , i beast, a tram p. Cannot you be w ith me in th is? C annot you be the devot ed w ife you have ever been?”

“I can be any th ing you w an t me to be, m y P ao lo !” she m urm ured as th e re w as ano ther blow upon the sofa and a low sobbing m oan added to her passionate confession.

“T hen lis te n !” he w ent on. *‘I m ust ta lk quickly. T h a t spy is on th f s ta irs listening. You m ust leave me, D esda—you m ust divorce m e !”

“No, no! I can n o t!” she answ ered, h e r m oaning and sobbing rea l now.

“T hen m ust th e W olf escape? M ust th e m urderer of f '~ fa th er and poor Bianco live in p leiu . eeause you cannot m ake a sacrifice? God knows, i t w ill be as hard for m e !”

“Yes, y e s !” answ ered she. “I w ill do it—for you I will do it. The world w ill h ea r me denounce you. No one w ill fool th e W olf b e tte r th an I.”

A blow—an o th e r low m oan.“My D esda—m y dear love!”“My Paolo! One long k iss—the

la s t! ”A pause—ano ther blow and sh riek

—and Paolo opened the door.V io letta s tan d in g half down th e |

fligh t saw th e w ife stre tch ed out upo,i ; the floor, h e r silky, black h a ir atuin- ble. V io letta sm iled grim ly.

“ W hat w ere you doing M icca?” ask­ed a neighbor poking his head out of b is doorway.

“I w as beating my w ife,” answ ered Paolo, descending th e s ta irs . “W hat business is th a t of yours?”

T he m an had heard tho blow s; ne would be useful as a w itness perhaps*

Paolo joined V ioletta and together they le ft th e house.

D esda still lay upon the floor. It would be hard, th is th ing th a t had been im posed upon her. She m ust go to h e r m other w ith th e children. Slie wiio had alw ays held h e r head so high m ust go back to h e r p aren ts and tell them th a t “her m an” was a fa ilu re as a husband.

She m ust listen w hile they called him h a rd nam es—yes, and she m u'.t join in th e calling of them , too. She dashed th e scald ing te a rs from her eyes. She m ight have know n—she ex­pected it. H ad n 't th e bird flown in a t th e w indow ?

Mid Ju n e and th e hea t of sum m er had come again. Paolo w as s ittin g by th e open widow in th e ragged under­sh irt, w orse trousers , and carpet slip ­pers ; his h a ir w as touseled, his beard unkem pt. A can of s ta le beer lay on th e tab le before him. A rap cam e at th e door.

“Come in ! ” he called thickly.A rturo and Alfio entered , bringing

C elestino w ith them . U nbidden, they took chairs. A look w'ent from one to the o ther. Poor Paolo! W hat ft w reck of a fine m an!

“The beer is fla t,” said the eldest b ro ther. “T he cliian ti is gone long ago; so, you see, I have nothing to offer you. You a re a fine m ess of b ro thers, anyw ay. The sto re is closed, and I owe tw o m onths’ ren t. Not even a bottle of cheap c la re t from any of you to drow n my m isery !”

“Are you to do no th ing about th is d ivorce?” began Alfio.

“N othing?” echoed Paolo w ith elab­o ra te com icality. “T h at is ju s t w hat I am doing and w hat I shall do— nothing.”

C elestino shook his head sadly.“B ut th e o ther m atte r ,” said A r­

turo , low ering his voice. “You know —the quest of th e W olf?”

Paolo laughed derisively.“A gain you’ve h it it ,” he hiccupped.

“I'll do nothing. Tiie W olf is too strong for us. Do w hat you like. 1 am through w ith it.”

D uring th is speech Paolo had pick­ed up a piece of liew-spaper. H e reach­ed out and took a pencil from A lfio’s vest pocket. H e began to scribble w itk th e pencil along th e edge of th e pa­per.

“B ut,” p ro tested Alfio, “we a re sav­ing money. Celestino has sold out h is partnersh ip , L uigi gave up his sto re . Rossi, too, is pa in ting like a beaver. W e are try in g to ga th e r to ­gether enough to send one of the band

: to E urope to find Lupo. W e thought of you, bu t—”

Paolo laughed again and scribbled on.

“Do not w aste your tim e” he said. “I would no t go. It would do no good. The W olf is too strong. I for one shall le t him be.”

“And you w ill le t th e m an who slew our fa th e r and our Cousin Bianco live on, w hile—”

A rturo w as in te rru p ted as Paolo ! handed him th e new spaper w ith th e j scraw l along the edge, j “Y es; le t him live, since we cannot

find him ,” rum bled Paolo to cover up : th e pause.

A rturo read th e scribbled words,I then passed the p: per on to Alfio. It ' read :

V ioletta is listening. She is Lupo’s spy. P re tend to ag ree w ith me. Give up every th ing as I have done.

So shall we d isarm suspicion and Le will come back. W rite to Silvio’s sa­loon. Wo are safe there .

“W hat say you, C elestino?” Paolo roared as he saw th a t consp irato r w ith th e paper.

“I say you a re righ t,” C elestino an ­sw ered as he th ru s t th e paper in to his pocket. “I th in k A rturo a'nd Alfio arc foolish—have thought so all along. I h ave sold my store. I have th e money in my pocket.”

H e chuckled.“B ut i t is no t to chase w ill o’ the

w isps—no, indeed. N ot w ith th a t girl

R osa w aiting for me in Troy. The W olf? Pooh—he w ill be punished enough w ithout u s !”

“P e r B acco!” cricd Alfio pe tu lan t­ly. “Now th ere a re th ree ou t of it. Paolo w ith h is drink , Celestino w ith h is Rosa, and P ie tro gone no one know s w here. I’ll te ll L uigi; m arry G uilietta, and th ere w ill be two more out. B less m e if I s ta y !”

As he said th e w ords acting on P a­olo's suggestion he w rote on a card and passed i t around. The o thers re a d :

Seem to quarrel.They m ore th an seem ed to. There

w as m any a snarled and grow led “per bacco!” and “a cc id en ti!” Paolo made to choke Alfio. A cha ir w as overturn­ed.

Alfio and A rturo departed calling one ano ther tra ito r. C elestino was caressed by Paolo, w ith ab jec t anc’ groveling requests for Chianti. Celes

tino refused, saying his Rosa cam e first.

Paolo alm ost th rew him out of the house. C elestino banging the door, called Paolo a sot. T here w-as much new s for listen ing V ioletta.

D ow nstairs the th ree m et again. T hey m ade in s tan tly for Sifvio’s sa­loon, keeping silen t all the w ay for fe a r of spies. W hen they reached it th e re w as a sigh of re lief from all th ree as they ordered th e ir c laret.

Paolo—the m agnificent, glorious, c lever fellow th a t he w as! And they had thought him false!

To all outw ard appearances, Paolo Micca sank low er and lower. He sold h is fu rn itu re , le ft th e fla t owing the tw o m onths re n t and w ent to live in i cheap, fu rn ished room. Most of the tim e he spen t in Silvio’s dingy saloon.

A t leng th one Sunday afternoon, he cam e to th e house, apparen tly the

j very dregs of hum anity . He staggered up th e four fligh ts of s ta irs to the tiny room, m audlin. H ere he piled in­to bed w ithout tak in g off his ragged clo th ing and w as soon snoring.

V io letta en tered th e room cautious­ly, a few m om ents la te r. She looked a t him , half in p ity and half in disgust. H e could not, a t th is ra te las t much longer. Boldly she crossed to the rick ­e ty desk, picked up pencil and paper, and began to w rite . W hen she had finished she sealed and addressed the le t te r and le ft th e room, w hile Paolo snored on. She w en t down the s ta irs and so on out in to th e street.

She could not have gone two flights before Paolo show ed rem arkab le signs of ac tiv ity for a m an who w as sup­posed to be upon the verge of delirium trem ens. He sp rang out of bed, shut the door w ithout locking it, and sa t on the chair before th e desk th a t th e girl had ju s t left. H e picked up the blot­te r and a pencil.

F everish ly he w orked, trac in g the inden ted le tte rs on (he soft paper. Som etim es it was illegible; a t o ther tim es crisscrossed le tte rs bothered him . I t w as painful w ork; but in tw en ty m inutes he had traced out th is :E ste—ed P ad—ne:

Paolo heard a creak ing step on the sta ir. If it wrere V ioletta! Hethought and acted quickly. Picking* up a cigar end, he. lit it ; then , w ith the sam e m atch, se t fire to the b lo tte r as i t lay on the desk and touched the cot­ton coverlet of the bed. In a moment both w ere ablaze and the room filled w ith sm oke. H e rolled upon the floor.

T he door opened, and he heard Vio­le t ta ’s scream . S till he lay w here he was, though th e sm oke stifled ' him. H e heard footsteps along th e hall and excited voices. Some one stepped over him and opened the window.

H e felt th e chill shock as a pail of w ater, p a r t of it d renching him , was flung on the blaze. H e s ta rted up w ith a strang ling cry and an, inquiring look in his b leared eyes.

I t w as a w onderful piece of acting. H e saw one of his fellow lodgers goii s' down the ha ll w ith th e em pty pail. V ioletta, h e r face ghastly w ith fright, w as bending over him.

“W hat is it? W hat did you do?” she asked shaking him by th e shoul­der. F o r ijn answ er she got a silly grio and:

“Slimoke shigar, V’le tta — s ja t’s j all! Shm oke sh igar an ’ fall sh leep—

fall sh leep—”H is voice died off in to a m um ble as

he rose and to tte red tow ard the bed.“Fall —shleep —w ant —fall—shleep

—a g a in ! ”H e lay face dow nw ard on the black­

ened coverlet and w as soon snoring once more.

H e heard h e r tidy ing up a bit, then a sn o rt of disgust. In sh o rt a space he heard h e r steps along the hall and dowrn th e s ta irs .

G rinning now he s a t up and looked round the room. The b lo tte r was burned and th e rem ains of it lay in

| tne w aste paper basket. Paolo chuck­led. H e had lost his w ife through the

j divorce. H e could no longer ta lk to h is lisping little daugh ter o r dandle th e baby on his knee. H e m ust “play d runk” nearly all of th e day; bu t—

T h a t le tte r—it w as to Lupo. In a m onth now he would be coming back. Paolo Micca had lo s t o r forsw orn all th a t was dear to him in life; yet h i : ruse had worked!

C H A P T E R X V III T h e S c a t te r in g o f T h e C lan .

« Celestino V erdi had a m a tte r o I seven hundred dollars in h is pocket I As he said on th e day of the false

quarrel, he had no in ten tion of chas­ing will o’ the w isps. P aolo’s a ttitude had given him quite an inspiration . H e could be the w ill o’ th e w isp and some one else could do th e chasing. W ith th is idea in view, he took th e tra in for Troy.

H e got as fa r a s K ingston before he d iscovered th a t M ercante, poorly dis­guised w ith black glasses and a muf­fle r wras on the tra in w ith him . He looked s tra ig h t a t h is fo rm er p a rtn e r w ithout th e leas t sign of recognition in his eyes. Sim ple m inded M ercante congratu lated him self. Celestino did no t know him a t all!

Troy was reached, w here Celestino w as to find “his R osa.” T here being j no R osa a t a ll th a t Celestino knew, outside of an au n t th a t w as dead these ten years, he was a t loss w hat to do. M ercante w as ever cam ped on hia tra il.

T roy w as too far, anyw ay; so Cele>- tino en tered a saloon and proceeded to drink quite an over abundance of whisky. M ercante, d rink ing ginger ale stood a t th e o ther end of th e bar.

Soon Celestino grew ta lka tive . He to ld to th e bar ten d e r h is troubles. H ere, he had come all th e w ay from New York to m arry a girl, brought

j th e money to buy a litt le farm and i se ttle down, and the g irl had gone to

Poughkeepsie. The bar ten d e r sug- j gested going to Poughkeepsie. Celes­

tino thanked him and proceeded on to I th e railroad sta tion . M ercante, m aking i m ental no tes of “g irl,” “m arry ,”] “farm ,” and “se ttle down,” did like­

wise.A t the hotel in Poughkeepsie Celes­

tino was in as m uch of a quandary as ever. W here under th e sun would ho find his im aginary R osa? H e did find her, though, in th e personage of one of th e cham berm aids. She had been shocked a t his proposition a t first, de-

I d a r in g h erse lf a respectab le m arried woman. W hen C elestino sliow'ed her a yellow back she changed h e r tune and telephoned to h e r husband.

The nex t day M ercante W'as led on a wild goose chase into the country, w here th e two, accom panied by the husband, en tered the house of a par­son. Celestino and the supposed bride cam e out. again arm in arm . being con­g ra tu la ted by th e rea l husband. Mor- can te w as th en rea lly satisfied . He | followed th e tr io to a rea l es ta te office w aited outside, and w hen he saw them come out w ent therein him self.

Cleverly, in h is own estim ation he "pum ped” the agent. Yes, he had farm s for sa le—business w as excel­lent.

“W hy,” rem arked the agen t blandly, “I’ve ju s t sold a five hundred dollar farm to an Ita lan gentlem an and his w ife by th e nam e of V erdi—see, here is the deed.”

M ercante saw w ith popping eyes. H e would call on th e agen t again, he said. W hat he did do w as go back to th e hotel in Poughkeepsie and pen a long le tte r to Lupo to th e effect th a t as fa r as th e V endetta w ent, Celestino w as “out of it .” T hen Signor Mar- can te took th e tra in back to New York.

By th e sam e token C elestino sp lit ano ther yellow back betw een th e cham ­berm aid and h e r husband, which, add­ed to th e o ther tw o he had given, one to th e clergym an and one to th e rea l es ta te agen t m ade th irty dollars spen'; on the clay. T he husband had done his share by m aking th e a rrangem en t be­forehand w ith both of these.

As fo r C elestino he fe lt th a t he h-.d been very ex travagan t. H e bought some old clothes, sew ed up his money in a flannel sh irt, got a job w ith a tra ck gang som ew here along th e road, and w ro te to Paolo a t Silvio’s saloon te lling his w hereabouts. T hen Celes­tino w aited.

Giovanni R ossi w ent about th e p ro ­cess of h is own d is in terg ra tion in his own way. T hrough A rturo he had learned of P aolo’s plan. H e had been hard a t w ork on a series of landscapes for a certa in a r t . dealer. The a r t dealer came to look them over. The new m odel and spy w as th ere a t tho v isit. The dealer objected strongly to one of th e p ic tures, Rossi had done it badly on purpose.

“W h a t!” he scream ed a t th e c riti­cism, “you m ake rem ark s about my best p icture? You a re a fool—an idiot sir! Out of m y stud io—out a t once, do you hea r? You know no th ­ing about a r t—noth ing a t all. I re­fuse to have any dealings w ith you m th e fu tu re !”

The deale r had been both shocked and surprised . So had the spying model. As tim e w en t on she w as m ore so. She saw the a r t is t g radually fade, gradually grow poorer and poorer, until a t la s t he needed h e r no more.

One day he w andered off, leaving his w ife apparen tly destitu te , w ith nothing bu t h is unsold p ic tu res on hand. The m odel knew or though t she knew . Poor R ossi had some dreadful nervous disease. She really fe lt quite badly about it. I t did noti how ever, p reven t h e r repo rting the m a tte r to Miss Sm ith, w ho in tu rn sen t w ord to Lupo.

The m odel had no t seen, how ever, th e ten d e r scene IjeLween jth e a r t is t

aim ma v ,u t\ n e 101(1 rier ail, trUSUtig her. She le t him go, for she knew the sto ry from beginning to end. She re­m em bered all th a t Guiseppe Micca had done for him.

As for Rossi, too m uch arsen ic that he had taken to give h im self th a t sick lv look m ade him seek w ork w here he would be in th e open air. H e got it, driving a truck for a coal m erchant. Sooty and begrim ed, no one would have recognized him as th e once well- known artis t.

T here was m ention in V ioletta’s le t­te r io Lupo of the m en ta l s ta te of A rturo Micca. H is friends wrere con­cerned about him , for he seem ed to be suffering from acu te m elancholia. A sanatorium w as chosen, w here he was sent, said sending being duly and secretly w itnessed by a gentlem an we have m et before by th e nam e ol Strano.

T hat apparen tly finished A rturo.

Signor S trano did no t see how ever, a carefully p lanned and executed es­cape some th ree w eeks la te r. The m a tte r was hushed up, for, i t w as argued, the a ffa ir com ing to the ears of th e press or the public, m ight h u rt th e prestige of the in stitu tion . So it. w as th a t A rturo re tu rn in g to New York, got a position as a roofer and tin sm ith ’s helper. T here, unknow n, he learned his trad e and w aited.

Alfio nex t d rifted off and becam e a locksm ith som ew here in th e Bronx. As for Luigi, he w as little b e tte r than Paolo, doing odd jobs here and- there w hen he could be induced to stay sober. G uilietta le ft him and w ent in to a business office, liv ing w ith one of h e r m o ther’s sisters.

As for P ietro, he w as singing in a chc:..> T!owery m oving p ic tu re th e a tie H e had d rifted from one to th e other, for he had been recognized in som e as the hero of a m urder tr ia l. F o r th is reason and o thers he k ep t moving. B ut th is la s t one knew his voice for several m onths. T here w as reason foi th is. The piano p layer th ere w'as li-no o ther th an Clodagh Lupo.

Coming th rough h e r illness th e girl had stayed on w ith M argery Banks for th e m a tte r of a m onth or so. She m ight have stayed on alw ays as fa r as th e daugh ter of th e house w as con­cerned; bu t Clodagh w as no t a girl th a t could see th ings th a t way. She le ft and sought em ploym ent.

A t th is she had very little success. B rought up only to be a lady, she found she w as no t w anted. L ittle by little h e r sto re of jew elry and clothing w as sold. W eek by w eek th e check account grew sm aller and sm aller until th e bank inform ed h e r th a t th e hun­dred dollars le ft th e re w as th e lim it of h e r balance and m ust e ith e r be added to or w ithdraw n. In despair she pol­ished up h e r piano playing w ell enough for her p resen t situation .

Betw een Clodagh and P ie tro there was friendship m ost perfect. During th e ir spare m om ents they ta lked of th is and tha t, each finding th e o ther an ideal companion. E ach, too, knew

! th a t th ey w ere loved by th e o ther; yet of th is ten d e r topic no t a w ord was ever m entioned.

T here seem ed to be an im passible gulf betw een them . H ad he spoken, she m ight have listened ; bu t it was no t for him to speak. H e had sw orn to kill Lupo. Lupo w as h e r father. Could he come to h e r w ith w ords of love on h is lips and m urder in his soul? Did he m arry her, how could he come home and te ll his w ife th a t he had sla in her fa ther?

So he w alked home w ith her, talked w ith her, kep t from h e r any th a t m ight offer h e r insult, and acted like one betro thed w ithout any of the little tendernesses th a t a betro thed m ight ask. So they had gone on, satisfied to be together, hoping to be m ore to each oilier in th e fu ture, and y e t not daring to th ink w hat th a t fu tu re m ight have in store.

It w as a mild Septem ber afternoon. P ietro had finished h is song and stood close to the piano w atching th e g irl’s w hite fingers d a r t here and th ere up ­on the keys as he had done often. At length the reel w as finished and thc “Good A fternoon” sign in gaudy col-

| ors flashed upon th e screen. Slowly th e people wrere leaving. P ietro reached out before the girl could rise and caught h e r hand in his.

"Clodagh, my deares t one,” he w hispered,, leaning close, " it is n ear th e end now. I will soon be going.”

“Going w here?” she replied puz zled.

“Oh—oh—to—to the re s ta u ra n t,” he stam m ered, try in g to be gay.

“W ell,” replied she, w ondering why th ere w as so m uch to do and so much sorrow in h is voice over sudh a sm all m atte r , ‘i ’ll go w ith you.”

“No,” he said w earily , “I’m—I’m going down tow n ton igh t to m eet a friend. About the o ther I—I—I m ean t I w as going to le w e —to m ake a change—I—I have a b e tte r offer.”

"I’m glad to h ea r it, P ie tro ,” replied she, a catch in h e r own voice now. “You’re no t leaving tonight, a re you?”

“Oh, no,” he responded w ith a fo rc­ed laugh. “N ot fo r w eeks y e t—m ay­be a m onth .”

“I se e !”T here w as a sigh of re lief from her.“Hey, you tw o !” baw led th e opera to r

from the booth. “I w anna tu rn out th e lights. B eat i t ! ”

They hu rried up the aisle. N ear the door th e ligh ts w ere sw itched off. In the sem idarkness he groped for her hand again. T ightly he pressed it. She did no t seem to mind. How could he te ll h er th a t he w as leaving ton igh t —now ? How could he say th a t he w as to do a deed th a t would w iden th e gulf betw een them ? How could he say th a t a f te r tom orrow ’s w ork she w ould n e ith e r w an t to see or speak to h im again?

T hey w ere outside now.“See you la te r ,” he said hurriedly,

w ith a tip of his hat. In ano ther m o­m ent he was w alking southw ard along the busy avenue. Soon she lost sigh t of him in th e hu rry ing throng.

Giuseppe M icca's widow had lived I a lm ost a year in h e r tiny cottage. S h e

had h e r chickens, h e r flowers, and h e r tiny vegetable garden to keep h e r busy. T here w as nothing much in life

| for her now. Som etim es one of h e r boys cam e to see her, Paolo, A rthur Alfio, or P ietro. She had passed through the killing of Bianco and th e tr ia l of P ietro, as she had the death of h e r husband, dry-eyed and tearless. She w as w aiting, calm ly w aiting, fo r som ething.

Signora Reale, a woman whom she had taken to live w ith her—a widow like h e rse lf—came into the m odest s it­ting room one Sunday in Septem ber.

“Whom do you th ink I saw upon th e road?” th e w om an asked m yste­riously.

Signora M icca’s eyes brightened."W hich one of them ?” she asked.“Paolo.”“T hen why did lie no t come w ith

you?”The woman suppressed a smile, then

an sw ered :“I would have only—only—well, to

te ll th e tru th , he w as not w alking steadily . Some little boys w ere fol­lowing him and saying th ings to him . I did not w ant to be seen—well—”

“H e was drunk again, then?” Si­gnora Micca snapped.

Before she could answ er there was a scuffling in the hall. N o'one moved, and Paolo was allowed to find his own w ay in to th e room. A pparently he w as in a s ta te of intoxication. H e g ree ted his m other and the woman ra th e r thickly, and then sa t unsteadily in a chair. The woman left the room.

E xaggeratedly Paolo brought a book from his pocket. H e slapped it upon the table.

“Found th is—found th is !” he hic­cupped. “F a th er used too like it— thought you m ight like to read it—• brought it along.”

She glared a t him . W hat was the use of bringing books to her w hen

j th e re w as im portan t w ork to be done? Instead of finding his books, some­th ing should be done for fa th er’s m em ory. If he could not come to see her sober, he had best s tay away. All th is she told him w ith no a ttem p t m ade to disguise h e r harsh tone. It d idn’t, seem to bo ther him any. H e kep t ta lk ing about, the book and en­couraging her to read it. At about five o'clock he left.

“The drink has w orn off,” lie said. "I m ust have m ore.”

She did not. answ er h im —did not bid him good-by. H er troubles had been m any, but now they seem ed to be g rea te r than she could bear. Going out into the k itchen to m ake th e sup­per, she happened to need the Signora Reale. She called and called, but th e woman did not answ er. Going into- th e s ittin g room , she found her exam­ining the book. W ith an apology she se t i t down and came into the kitchen.

Several tim es during the week th e Signora Micca caught the woman turning over the pages of the book, w hich had been taken up s ta irs to th e m other’s room. E ach tim e it had been hurried ly put down again and the woman had gone out guiltily. Sig­nora Micca’s suspicions w ere roused.

One night, about ten days a fte r Paolo’s visit, she happened to pick up the volume w hile alone in her room. A bsently she began to tu rn over th e pages. She saw nothing to m ake the m a tte r one of such secrecy, o r th e book to be such an object of s tea lthy perusal until—

D iagonally across a page she saw Paolo’s handw riting. She moved closer to th e light to see i t p lainer, and read :

I would have told bu t the woman R eale I fear. The W olf has retu rned . All our plans are laid. In ten days he dies. Farew ell from all of us, m adre mio. F a th e r soon will be avenged.

T hat was th e reason of the book, then, and she had scolded him. She had alm ost turned him from the house and nowr perhaps she m ight see him no more.

Ten days—why, it w'ould be done th a t very evening.

D o n ’t G o rg e H ens .In feeding poultry i t is never advis­

able to feed heavily during the early hours of tlie day. A hen gorged w ith food early In the morning, will have no incentive to exercise—will lay around the roosting quarters and take on fat. In feeding for w in te r eggs the appetites of the hens should never be fully satisfied until ju s t before they go to roost a t night.

O rdinarily , w hen given range hens do no t roam a g rea t d istance from th e ir roosting quarters. This being tru e , a large flock will soon deplete the range n ear the poultry house of green food and insects. The sm all flocks on the o ther hand, if housed and kep t on the colony plan, w ill be unable to deplete the range im m edi­a te ly surrounding th e ir quarters of these essen tia ls fo r a good egg yield.

W hen kep t in large flooks, the house and th e soil close to i t m ust be kep t clean. The droppings m ust be rem oved daily and the soil tu rned up frequently in o rder to m ain tain san i­ta ry conditions. Any neglect of these duties will resu lt in d isaster. The sm all flock can s tand much m ore neg­lect in the m a tte r of cleanliness th an the large ones, because the houses do not become so soiled and the ground is kep t clean and sw eet thuough the grow th of vegetation.

It is rem arkable how well a little flock of fifty o r one hundred hens and pullets w ill pay if well attended. The housing need no t be e laborate or expensive. The feed is all a t hand on the average grain farm and no one iv.-e'd w orry about proteids or ash or I . lanced rations. Give th e hen som e­thing to balance and she w ill do the work for herself.

If your house is in need of repair begin early in your spare tim e to re ­pair it. P a tch the roof if it leaks. There a re usually enough odds and ends around th e farm to fix it. If it has wide cracks betw een the boards of the wall, s e t fodder around th ree

j sides of it, leave a p a rt of the' south or east side open and m ake a fram e

I covered w ith cheese cloth or some o ther ligh t m ateria l for extrem ely cold and storm y days. F ill in a d ir t floor tour or five inches h igher than the surrounding yard. Clean ou t the old n est boxes and sp ray th e wall and perches. You will have m ade a nice s ta r t tow ard w in te r eggs w hen these things are accom plished.
