way of reaching the trading public]
than an attractive ad in -this paper.
Traffic on nearly ail road# to Cam

Brother Hamel, of the Camden
News, suggests that the merchantaj
close their storea every afternoon,!
with the exception of Saturday, atj
six o'clock the year round. The sug-(
gestlon Is a good one. As Mr.
Hamel iays, Night trading, with
the exception of Sautrday is a need
less habit," andvthen too? some mar
chants, who keep open until late
| hours, do not make enougty to pay
for the extra lights burned. . Most

A Card of Appreciation.
"
To the citizens of Ward Four who
supported .me In the recent primary
I desire to express my sincere appre"
elation and wish to assure them tha
it will be my highest ambition to
merit their continued confidence.
*. t*fce
this opportunity of saying I har
bor not the . slightest ill will, be
cause I feel that in my ppoonent
they worked for a iaiUftFprthy of
; high consideration and deserving a
strong support. ' I also want them
to know that their interests r will re
eel ve the same consideration as the
. interests of those who supported me
To the citizens of Camtten out
yr side my ward I desire to say, that
while I ostensibly represent one
ward? only, -yet it_ shall be my ear
& neat endeeavor to co-operate with
the alderman representing the va
rious other wards in such a manner
iiki. as not to elevate the - interests of
any particular section or particular
Iperson above that of another but to
give every section and every citi
zen -fair and equal consideration.
With this end in view, I feel that
? voice the sentiment of the whole
,'w- Council body when I say that we
desire the earnest and sincere co
operation and support of the entire
cltisenshlp of Camden, in ? order

for the good and progress of the

good things and leave 'em wtth the

The June evening vai balmy aud
fragraut. The laet long rays of the!
setting muq slanted over the |r?M
and op on the wide, vine-bung porch,
where two wicker cbalrs were drawa
cozlly together ? In one Mi a - girl,
fluffy u to gown and hair, dimpled
of cheek. In (ho other eat a youth,
impressive of manner, dark of eyee,
of a type of physical attractiveness
that corresponded with a satisfying
completeness Ur the girl, the night,
and the general atmosphere of Juno
and roses.
"I brought you those flowers/* bo
was saying, an accusing flngor di
rected toward ths table whore they
lay, "not to be put oyer there and
forgotten about, hut to wear, or hold
In your lap."
She looked around with a little air
of, penitence.
.*Wpy, l did forget them, didn't If
Poor things!" V?" . . ; :
Rising, she west over to the table
and picked them up tenderly, smooth
ing out the crumpled petals where
they had lain,
"I bet If Bennett had brought them
orer yon wouldn't hare forgotten/'
be said.
She paused In her advance toward
him end an odd, arrested look etole
oyer her face. Presently she moved
somewhat atiflly^over, dropped pre
cipitately into the chair again, while
a burning blush spread slowly up to
her very hair and as slowly died
away.
The youth stared St her suepfdoue
ly. "What are you blushing about?"
he demanded, a dawning resentment
In his voice.
She retorted Indignantly, *T11 blush
If I want to. And. besides, I'm not,
anyway," she added Incoherently,
"You^ always Imagining something."
"Imagining!" he scoffed, growing
more resentful as bis suspicions took
firmer root. "Why, It w as a regular
sunset! , I make a silly remark Inst
to hear you laugh at It, and Instead of
that you give a color exhibition that
would fade a bunch of firecrackers to
a sickly pink. I'd like to know what
you mean by lt.w
"Would you really V Inquired the
maiden with suspicious sweetness.
"By what right, may I ask, do
you ? "
"Right!" ha Interrupted hotly.
"What right? Haven't I asked you
to marry roe every other night for the
last three, months? Tou know very
well you're going to say 'yes' some
time. I was gblnfTO do ll again to
nlght If you'd given me half a chance.
I was only waiting til! the moon came
up."
. "Then t certainly wouldn't hate said
'yes^ tonight/' returned Miss Simples
Indignantly. "Tou look sillier In the'
moonlight than at any other time."
The youth rose majestically from
his chair. "Very well," he announced
calmly, "that ends It! Tou*ve given
me every reason to believe you're In
love with that Bennett I mention his
name and you blush. Not only that*
but you refuse to explain. And not
only that, but ? "
"Oo away!" a stifled voloe com
manded!.
"Oh, I'm going! You needn't be In
such a hurry. It's the last you'll See
of Vme," the youth threatened ? in
sepulchral tones.
He turned on the third step. "Tou
might walk down to the gate with
me," he conceded gloomily. 'It's the
last time."
"I will not!" explained a furious lit
tle voice. "I Won't stir from {his
chair ? not If .you stand there till the
crack of doom!"
I 8he watched him as he strode to the
gate, listened intently to the vindictive
scruneh of his-boot# on the gravel
outside till the sounds greW'Talnl 1n
the distance. Then she rose, walked
forward three steps, gave an angry
little shake to her ruffled skirts and
carefully stepped out of a filmy mesh
oT laoe and linen that was caught
about her feet '
$ She picked it up,
a little ball and Shook It

of the fragrant, glamour-filled
the heart of the youth softened and

In him. He drifted aimlessly down a
*Me avenue, whence he wandered to
#e outskirts tp alt on a lone rock and
curse fate./,
Gradually be began to meet the
maiden and Bennett goinf about to
gether. Presently he met her at a
dance. Though she kept far from hla
vletnity, and her silvery mirth seemed
oftenest mingled with Bennett'* bray
J#f'> JgUfciitef, . he Imagined with a
thrill of rising hope that her vivacity
was not quite eo genuine, her eyes
not quite so sparkling bright nor her
beauty so radiantly undlmmed aa In
the daya of hla uninterrupted devo
tion. v'-vu '
Nevertheless rumors began to reach
him that the girl and Bennett were en
gaged.
There came an October evening,
chill and gray. The blood-red rays
of the setting son struggled through
banks of stormy cloud, across wind
swept reaches of dead leaven and up
on a wide, vine-hung porch* where
two wicker chairs were drawn Stiffly
apart. In one sat a girl, sltmly plain
as to long ulster and jaunty cap/ dis
concertingly distant of mien. In the
other sat a youth, mournful, shadowed
of eye, of an eneemble which accorded
cheerlessly with the girl, the night,
and the general atmosphere of ruin
and decay,
"I brought you that autumn foli
age," he was sdyhiig bleakly ,</*not be
cause I thought you would pare for
it, -or value It as from a one-time
friend, but merely as a symbol of the
death of our? -or? ^ 1 '
"Thank you," ahe murmured ab
sently. ' ?? ...
He leaned back heavily, fend the
wind moaned In dlrge-Uke cadence
through the deepening gloom.
"It was good of you- to let me see
you, for the last goodby." >
"I had nothing else to do," ahe ad
mitted with faint regret, "lir, -Ben
nett is out of town."
The youth'a eyes burned with *
dull fury. The fiery rim of the crim
son sun shot ao angry gleam at their
feet! Suddenly he leaned forwards]
cheerless decision In his air.
"You; needn't pay any attention to
it, of course," he chanted wenrffer.
"I don't expect you to. But I'm going
to do It again ? Just to round the thing
out and? er ? because I'm accustomed
to doing It, and I miss it. Here it is.
I love you. I have always loved you.
I am going to love you to the bitter
end. Will you malrry toe?"
"Yes," said the maid.
The sun shot down precipitately,
wrethfully. The youth sat petrified,
immobile, his mouth still partly, open,
The girl looked back at him with level
vjvn. ?
"I said yon looked silliest doing It
In the moonlight," she tennted. "You.
don't" ,
"Why did you blushf* he s,sked
tenderly. / (
Annoyance spread over the face of
the maiden.
"I refuse to discuss It," she said.
Again the mystery, unsolved! For
one fateful moment the heart of the
youth grew cold with doubt and
things threatened to go wrong again
for evermore. Then an illumining
thought leaped in. She was going to
marry him. What mattered it?
- ^1- have- announced- exults,
antly. "You were blushing over the
thought of being silly enough to blus]*
over Bennett."
"Exactly!" she murmured with Joy
ful pride. "How clever, dear!**
Then' peace and darknesfc fell.

Tfce political game, wa* wholly new
to William* O. L. Zlehn when Har

Mr. Zlehn wu persuaded to ruft

- This was after, he got going. At
the outset campaigning was full oit
surprises to him, and he was natural
ly a bit suspicious of that which he
did not understand.
It was arranged to give him a start- j
off with a meeting. A vacant store
was hired and filled with chairs. At
the far end of the store a brewery i
table was stretched across, draped
with an American flag/ and behind;
the table was Joe Strauss.
