agent had an experience that he will not soon forget. He was accompanied by Officer William D. Hulse, George C. White and Wilson D. Hankson, of Freehold.

When they entered the woods in which the camp was located one of the women in the camp gave a signal and the officer's quarry, male members of the band, ran thru the woods. The women members of the band surrounded the officers, gesticulating and shouting wildly, and one of their number struck Officer Hankinson over the head with a club, inflicting a scalp wound. The men had untethered their horses as they ran, and took them with them, but the officers secured three of the horses and took them to a nearby barn and locked them up. Returning to the camp yesterday with Constable Hulse, Officer Bohannan arrested Samson Palmer and brought him before Justice of Peace J. W.

Hulse, charging hun with leaving his horses out in the storms and weather of all kind unprotected by any sort of shelter. Palmer was fined $50 and costs, amounting to $55.10, in default of which he was sent to the county Jail. Later in the afternoon another Gypsy who called himself Williams, called at the justice's office and secured Palmer's release by paying the fine imposed. Officers Bohannan and Hulse returned to the camp with warrants for the arrest of Joshua Burchland and Moses Small, but failed to locate either of the men. In fact there was a male member of the band, consisting large families, in the when officers called.

The Daily Horrorscope By T. K. HEDRICK Tha Says: The child that is born today comes into the world under peculiarly happy auspices. Mercury is in conjunction with mighty Jupiter, and the natal endowments are great intellectual capacity, together with a genius for rulership. For the world at large the day should be one of blessings.

Unusual clarity of mental vision is promised, with rare soundness of judgment. Authors, artists and students of all kinds should prosper. Those who occupy positions of authority may be expected to manifest unusual wisdom and justice in dealing with the problems that confront them. If you have a grievance of any kind, now is the time to state it to those who may adjust it. But be sure your cause is just, for the application of justice will be most rigid.

Good tidings from unexpected sources shonld serve to gladden the day for many. All worthy undertakings should be prosecuted with vigor, for fortune smiles upon such. W. T. ADDISON TAKES A FREEHOLD BRIDE Belmar Man Married day at County Seat to Miss Emmons.

SAXTON. TO CONFER ON PLEDGES Jersey Senate and Assembly Committees Meet Saturday. TRENTON, Dec. joint committee of the Republican members of the senate and the house to facilitate the carrying out of the platform pledges will meet at state house at 1 o'clock on Saturday for a conference. Senator Prince, who will be president of the upper house; Senator Edge, the majority leader, and Senator Leavitt make up the senate committee, while Speaker-to-be McCran, Majority Leader George W.

Whyte and Assemblyman William T. Holloway compose the house committee. The object of committee is to establish a harmonious feeling between the two branches of the legislature- -something which has been lacking in the last few years. With both houses cooperating to carry out the promises made by the party to the people, it is expected that the session will be a short one. In addition to formulating plans for expediting legislation, the Joint committee.

according to Senator Pierce's resolution, under which they were appointed, will also consider changing the statute defining the number of employes of the legislature. This act, passed in 1898, has been more or less of a joke, for, in addition to the places provided for in it, it has been customary for the lawmakers to appoint many additional employes, such as doorkeepers and committee clerks, for which, except in a few cases, there was really no need. These extra employes were paid thru the incidental appropriation bill. The object of Senator's Plerces resolution, it is understood, is to have both houses get together, agree a complement of employes sufficient to meet the needs of the lawmakers, and then pass a bill providing for their selection. It was said here today that William Johnson, who had charge of the speakers' bureau in the recent campaign in Essex county, will be rewarded for his work by being made supervisor of bills in the senate.

The torturer, we may opine, believed he had things pretty fine; he knew his trade from A to and no suggestions welcomed he. And yet his work was crude and coarse, for he relied on brutal force. If I were torturer in chief, I'd fill my victims' souls with grief.

I'd stretch the poor chaps on the rack until their joints began to crack, and then I'd say: "Oh, laugh and sing, and smile, and smile, like everything!" I have three kinds of rheumatiz, and pink pains thru my system whiz, and people stand about my chair, and when I paw around and swear they spring their optimistic gags, and tear my temper all to rags! There is a time for sighs and tears; there is a time for smiles and cheers; distinguish, then, those times betwixt -don't get your optimism mixed! Copyrieht, Masthew 1911, Adam (baes Mason THE DAILY CHIT- -CHAT By Ruth Cameron. The little mother had been searching diligently for a pair of gloves, which had cleverly secreted themselves in some corner. She did not find them, but did bring forth my riding crop which had also been among the missing for some months. "Well, that's the way it always is," she said as she restored the crop to its place. "When I look for one proper, find another." It 19 so, isn't it? "You've had that experience yourself, haven't you, friend? Perhaps you dropped a collar button under the chiffonier, and had your rage at the mishap assuaged, when in the course of your groveling, you found that little silver pin you thought you had lost for keeps.

Perhaps you were hunting thru your desk for a receipted bill, when you stumbled upon that little snapshot of the baby which you had searched for so many times in vain. And, of course, as you brought your treasure triumphantly forth to be congratulated upon, you uttered that good old bromide "Whenever I look for one thing, I find another." Now, did it ever occur to you that it's Just the same about bigger thingsabout mental and moral qualitiesthat is when you are looking very hard for one thing, you often find another? You don't see just what I mean? I don't blame you. Let me make it clearer by illustration. Suppose you make up your mind that you are going to try with your might to be popular. As as not the very intensity of your desire frustrates you, 80 that you do not win popularity.

And then, suppose you have a change of heart and decide that It is more desirable to be lovable than to be loved, and start out to seek unselfishness. And lo, by and by when you have quite forgotten about popularity, it is yours. In looking for one thing, you have found another. Suppose again, your one ambition is to earn a great deal of money. Money is the greatest thing in life and you are going to have it willy nilly.

And then you find that money is very hard to get and that it is unlikely you will ever be a millionaire anyway, and you make up your mind to be content with doing just the best kind of work you know how. Who knows but that by and by you will find that the financial success is coming to you as a by -product of the greater gain. In looking for one thing, you have found another. Do you remember how Lowell's Sir Launfall went searching all over the world for the Holy Grail and quite in vain? It was only when he gave up search, and bent his energies toa wards loving his fellow men, that he found the Grail. Look for one thing, and you find another.

Look for the big things that count, and the lesser blessings "shall be added unto thee." Seek to be lovable and you will probably be loved. Seek to be healthy, and you will probably gain at least a certain measure of beauty. Seek to learn for your own satisfaction, and you will soon find yourself admired for your culture. Again and again this rule works itself out. You don't believe it? Then try it and see.

turkey is regarded as the Christmas bird, if that fowl comes high, a plump tender chicken or pair of them may be roasted instead. Some persons prefer roast goose. With roast goose, of course, goes apple sauce. Advance Work. Much of the labor incident to the Christmas feast may be done before the botiday.

The fruit cake is better for being baked a couple of months earlier. Some persons think a plum pudding ought to be nine days old before serv. Ing. If cooked in advance all it needs on Christmas day is a little steaming. The turkey may be cleaned, drawn and hung in a cold place for a day.

It will then be in better condition for roasting on Christmas. The cranberry Jelly may be prepared and the pies and doughnuts baked the day before Christmas. The confectionery may be made at odd times a week or two in advance. When served the pies and doughnuts should be placed in the oven for a few minutes, and then they will be warm when brought to the table. The Christmas Table.

The Christmas table may be spread for dinner the day before if the dining room can be closed. Try to make it as attractive as possible. Have flowers in the table center, even if it is only a geranium growing in an earthen pot. The pot may be banked with moss or covered with dark green crape paper, tied with cher. ry colored ribbons.

Even natural looking paper flowers are better than no flowers at all. Cedar holly and ground pine together with many winter berries may be had at this season. If you live near the woods there are often charming colored leaves and exquisite mosses to be found. NEW ATLANTIC BOULEVARD Will Run From Chelsea Thru Ventnor and Margate. ATLANTIC CITY, Dec.

Road Commissioner Stevens yesterday approved plans for an ocean boulevard to be established by the extension of Atlantic avenue in Chelsea along the sea front thru Ventnor and Margate to the lower end of the island at Longport. The West Jersey and Seashore railroad has agreed to permit the wise of its right of way in Margate and Longport for the new speedway. Ideas of a Plain Man By DR. FRANK CRANE It is not Desire, but the lack of Desire, that is the cause of tragedy in this world. It is not heat, but cold, that breaks human hearts.

It is not Love, but Indifference, that is the source of sorrow. There have been crimes of passion, quick, terrible, mad; but they are as nothing compared to the slow, bloodless, cruel hurt of thoughtlessness. The men who strike women, curse them and murder them are bad humans; but the men who treat women with no feeling at all are devils. The woman who sins for love is a bad woman; but the woman who sins coldly is the one whose feet take hold on hell. Anger, petulance, craving, appetite; and all the seven deadly sins are disgraceful enough, but they seem almost good by the side of the bloodless sins of envy, greed and pride.

Little children who are scolded and whipped and otherwise maltreated by ill -tempered parents excite our pity; but little children stunted in the mills of greed rouse us to fury. Oh, there is fire mixed in this clay of ours; and the fire sometimes burns bitterly and but alas for the clay in which all fire is out. Says Bailey: 4T cannot love as I have loved, And yet I know not why; it is the one great woe of life To feel all feeling die.".
