Trenton, Jan. 4.?Anthony Task, a too strenuous wooer, is missing from Trenton to-day. The police are anxious to find him so that they may Question him regarding the methods of making love which Miss Jennie Anskie says he used. Miss Anskie liked Task, but she told the police she had known him too short a time to enable her to decide to marry him, but Task was eager for marrying at once. The girl told him to wait, but Task was not willing. He called on her to-day and renewed his request to marry. When Miss Anskie again said "Wait" she says he pulled a revolver, pointed it at her head and said he would kill her if she didn't agree to marry him. She fainted at his feet. Task fled from the house, thinking the girl had died from fright. Don'ts for Young Men. "Do not speak of the 'old gent' or the 'old woman.' Fathers and mothers are a necessary evil in the present system of things. They have spoken respectfully of you when outsiders could not see anything on which they could hang even a small compliment. "Do not give all your attention to the education of the brains on the outside of your head. Football hair and a letter on your jersey are not a sufficient training for life. The young fellow who is old-fashioned enough to go to school for study still has a place in the world.?. "Do not invest your nickel in a glass of beer and then afterward criticize the other fellow who has invested his nickel in a savings bank. Beer checks and savings bank checks as investments are not in the same class. "Do not put the money of your tailor and your washwoman in $5 opera seats and $2 theatre tickets. They may prefer to spend their earnings in some other way. "Do not measure your job entirely by the size of the pay envelope and the length of the vacation. Highway robbery is an ideal vocation measured in these ways. "Do not try to get rich quick; smarter men than you, who have come to town without a cent, have tried it and lost all they had. "Do not wrong a woman. Every woman is some mother's daughter. The white life you ask from your mother's daughter you have no right to take from the daughter of another. "Do not defile your tongue with profane and vulgar speech, revealing ignorance and showing the coarseness in your soul. "Do not think you have sounded all the ocean of truth when you have let out all your little line. The ocean on whose shore Newton had gathered only a few pebbles can never be all in your tin cup "Do not be a stranger to the church of your father. The old pew looks lonely without you. Your father went to his honor and his prosperity straight from the church door. The path is still there. You need the church and the church needs you." ARMED NEGRO ON WAR PATH. Kills One White Man and Wounds Another?Surrounded by Posse. Live Oak, Fla., Jan. 2.?Armed with a rifle and revolver, an unknown negro went on the war path at Falmouth, eight miles from this city, Tuesday afternoon, killing Ira Britton and mortally wounding Alex Dempsey, prominent young white men of that section. After committing the crime the negro escaped to the woods, and is being followed by a po^se of determined citizens' and a lynching is feared. The negro took refuge in a lime sink, which is surrounded now by armed men and his capture is almost certain. The people of Falmouth are greatly worked up over the crime. No reason is given for the murder and eye-witnesses claim it was entirely unprovoked. | The Hardware Man of Bamberg i * Handles everything the Farmer, Merchant and Housewife may ? desire.
