Matrimonial Raid on Jersey J-'.etorr
Girl Makes the Village
Gnsp.
Tha community of Bridgeton. X. J.,
will go as far as the next to encourage
marriage and keep its native pons and
daughters at homo by lassoing them In
couples. It Indorses without reservation
the benefits of matrimony, but when Cupid
comes along and corners the market, swats
one of Brldgeton's most flourishing In
dustries and supplies a sensation that
makes the village gasp, it Is time to preach
moderation.
Something mysterious has pervaded the
social atmosphere in Casper a. Ware's
factory for several w?cks. Girl chums
who never before kept secrets from one
another became uncommunicative.
Last Saturday was pay day In the fao
tory. After tha usual ruHh In front of the
cashier's window Mr. Wsre noticed lit
tle stack of pay envelopes that had not
been called for That was unprecedented,
for the girls always had been eager to get
their money. When the office waa de
serted Mr. Ware observed the somewhat
stealthy approach of Miss Bertha Rhep
pard, a high school graduate and elocution
ist. Hhe received htr envelope and glanced
around.
"Are we alone Mr. Ware?"
"We are," he replied.
"I'm sorry, but I'm glad, and 1 want to
resign," Miss Kheppard whispered. "Pro
going to be married on New Year's. Please
don't tell and be sur and nome to the
wedding."
Mr. Ware was mourning the loss of Miss
Sheppard, when Miss Ida Baker, soprano
soloist In the First MethodlHt church, tip
toed to the doi, peeked Inside the office,
and satisfying herself that Mr. Ware was
the only person there advanced.
"Ooodby, Mr. Ware," she said, blushing
furiously, as she extended her hand. It
wss the left hand and an engagement ring
glistened on the third finger.
"Tou're the first person I've told ex
cept my parents, .but there's going to be
a wedding at our house on New Tear's
day. It'a n secret unii. then, so please
keep It"
Mr. Ware promised, ruefully, and was
shuffling the remaining envelopes when
he looked up and saw Miss Martha Camni.
She had entered the room so softly he
had not heard her.
Mr. Wara waa murmuring felicitations
when Miss Cam in said "Husht Not a
word." Miss Sarah Pare stood In the door
way. Miss Camm bounced out, nodding
with exaggerated cordiality to Miss I 'are.
Tha latter girl waited until Miss Camm
was out of hearing and bending her head
to Mr. Ware's ear, breathed this message:
"New Year's i o'clock at my home."

ANY WOMAN MAY LOOK WELL
Prevailing; Fashions In Kvenlna;
(ionm May Be Worn by
Any Fla-ure.
The woman who cannot look well In an
evening gown this season Is a hopeless
proposition, for the deslKners have offered
an amaslng latitude of lino and period. To
be sure, there Is still the slender silhouette.
The femliilno Insistence upon that point
gave a s ight check to the autumn move
ment toward full skirts and materials of
more body; hut this insistence has brought
about a happy state of affairs.
The dressmakers, while making the con
cession demanded, still cling to their new
pasHlon for flowing lines and as a result
we have drapery without clumsiness and a
type of clinging slenderness devoid of the
exaggerated dlrectolre skirt's fallings. A
certain stralghtness of line Is loft, but we
have In a majority of the models more

The New Zealand lmuie of representa
tives has empowered the executive to make
regulations requiring passenger ships to
cany wireless telegraphy apparatus. It Is
probable that some vessels trading between
New Zealand and Australia will be fitted
with the necessary apparatus within a few
months. New Zealand is standing out
against tha recent movement to connect the
Pacific Islands, Australia and New Zealand,
because the government wishes to await
new developments. The prime minister
states that both Mr. Marconi and M. Teala
Informed him recently that great advances
would probably be made upon existing sys
tems. Hlr Joseph Ward adds that within
twelve months New Zealand will probably
adopt a syKtem which will ensble. communi
cation with Australia to be carried on by
day or by night. A conference of represen
tatives of Australia, New Zealand and the
Pacific Islands will meet at Melbourne on
December 18. .
During the last few weeks negotiations
have been taking placje between a repre
sentative of the Marconi company and tha
Natal government with regard to the estab
lishment of a long-distance wireless station
In the vicinity of Pletermarluburg to con
nect with the Intermediate stations at
Mombasa and Aden. Mr. Vyvyan, who has
coma out to Natal In connection with the
schema of Imperial wireless telegraphy, has
applied for a license to erect a station-, such
station at tha end of twenty years to be
come the property of the government. Tha
company, however, stipulate for a fourth
share of the net receipts (which It Is esti
mated will be equal to 5 per cent on tha
capital employed) for a further period of
twenty years, the station at the end ot that
period to become tha absolute property of
the government. Tha company, It Is under
stood, asks tor no exclusive rights, and
guarantees to charge not mora than 26
cents a word for ordinary niessages and
not more than I'i cents for government or
press niessages. The chief objection put
forward against the grant of the license Is
said to be that if the Natal government
grants a Jlcenae, and tha Imperial govern
ment refuses to allow the Marconi company
to erect Intermediate atations on British
territory, tna way will ba paved for a
foreign wireleaa servica between South
Africa and tngland, tha alternative eastern

even If Natal refused a license a station

Experiments have been made In Swit

Messages coming from points within a
radius of 2,000 miles have readily ben
picked up In the Alps. This is probably due
to the fact that there are few Intervening
objects between these elevations and the
sending stations which would be apt to
Interfere with the Hertzian waves. It has
always been difficult to send messages
across the AlpB, or even from one part of
Switzerland to another over the high alti
tudes, for the reason that the mountains
absorb much of the energy.

William IS. Ilibbs, the Washington broker,
has a big country place just outside of Lees
burg, Va. He put a large searchlight on
top of his stone water tower, and from
time to time at night amuses himself by
throwing the light around the country,
One night in the summer Hlbbs was on
the tower playing with tha searchlight. A
Virginian, driving a skittish team, hitched
to a surrey In which were two ladles, was
coming along the road leading to Lees
burg and was about four miles from the
village.
Hlbbs threw his searchlight down the
road.
"(Josh darn It!" exclaimed the Virginian,
"here conies one of those pesky automo
biles." lie jumped out and took the horses
by the head. The light continued on the
road fur half a minute, and then was
switched away, Tho Virginian stood stupe

said, In an awid voice: 'Jerusalem! That
automobile must be going fast. It's gone

BOY COMES BACK OLD MAN
Wanderer for Forty-Five Years Find
Father and Mother at
Home.
His hair grown gray with the lspse of
the years that passed from the night when
as a boy he left his father's home, aged
ii, to the night of his return, aged 67,
John Frenshaw walked Into the home of
his father Christmas night at the old home
MeHd near Nashville, Ind., and greeted the
parents who had looked and longed and
prayed for his return for nearly half a cen
tury. "We knew you would coma back to us,
John," and they clasped him In ?!ielr arms
In a Jcy that waa the climax of forty-five
years of sorrow and regret. "It was be
cause we knew you would come that our
spirits were kept young," they explained
as John embraced the two, though now
90 years old were no older In appearance
than himself.
John was 112 years old in when he
quarreled with his father and went away
from home. He walked to Indianapolis In
three days, whan a great storm raged. He
wandered to St. Louis and at last found
work In a shop. For seven years he saved
his money, and then he ventured to the
gold fields of the west. He became rich,
and then longed to return to the old home,
but ha did not know that hla parents were
still alive and well.
In the storm of wind and snow that raged
about the old house on the Frenshaw furm
Christmas night the elder Frenshaw was
awakened by a pounding on tho door.
"I'm cold and hungry," said a voice out
side. "Can't you take me for the nlRht?"
The old man let the stranger In and the
wife prepared a meal for him. He talked
for half an hour of his travels before he
exclaimed;
"Father, don't you know me?"
Tha parents clasped Mm in their arms.
