Miss the Easy Road.
Two young exponents of the strenu
ous life on I>i<>Nil\va,v were sitting in a
hotel loith;, the oil r evening discuss
Ing tJieir jtiaus I taking some "bIR
money" in Hi" 1Y >. One of them
eonlVssc.l that liN alary was "only
$43 a week," and lie v..is having a hard
time of it In keeping the wolf from the
door. Sitting near them was an old
gentleman who overheard their conver
sation and was evidently interested.
"Yon fellows are making the mistake
of your lives." the old gentleman said
at last. "You are chasing the will o'
the wisp while you have the means of
wealth within your grasp. Why, I'm
considered pretty well off financially,
as you both know, and 1 never re
ceived a salary of $45 a week in my
life. lint T saved money when I was
your age, and I found opportunities for
investment that soon put me out of the
salary class and made me a business
man on my own account. The trouble
with young fellows nowadays is that
they can't see the opportunities that
are given them. They have their eyes
glued to the get-rfcli-quick idea so tight
ly that they pass by tbe only sure route
to wealth."—Xew York Globe.
Handwriting.
As a rule, clear handwriting is more
common with persons who do not write
for a living than with those who do.
Authors, for example, are creating
something when they write; their mind
is concentrated on tills creative work;
their thoughts are generally ahead of
their hand, sometimes a whole sen
tence, and they hurry to keep pace
with fliem. The result is bad hand
writing, but handwriting with individ
uality in it, if not character. There is
a theory that plain writing is most
easily forged. This is not true. Ob
scure signatures are most easily forged
and the so called freak signatures,
which nobody can read, easiest of all.
The best signature and the safest for
a man who signs checks Is neither too
prim nor too Involved; just plain, ev
eryday writing, done in the easiest
way, according to his temperament.
Such a signature expresses as much
character as any handwriting can, but
it doesn't tell us a thing about the
man's moral makeup; not a thing.—
Boston Globe.
Wanted His Dues.
A reservation Indian was disconso
late over the breaking of his ax handle.
He laid his misfortune before the
"farmer" of the reservation, who,
through pity, took a new handle from
his private stock and adjusted it to the
ax. The farmer then noticed that the
ax was shockingly dull. So, motioning
the owner to turn the grindstone, he
expended a half hour's time in sharp
ening the blade. When the rehabili
tated ax was given to the Indian he
was childishly gleeful, but still lingered
about, indicating by his actions that
some feature of the transaction had not
been adjusted.
The farmer was a little annoyed and
called to an interpreter. "Ask the old
fellow what lie wants now," he di
rected.
After an exchange of grunts and ges
tures (lie interpreter announced, "He
wants 25 cents."
"Twenty-five cents! What for?"
"For turning the grindstone."—Har
per's.
The Other Way.
There was a hopeful gleam in the
eyes of the young man with a slightly
retreating chin as lie approached the
father of his ladylove.
"Will you give your daughter to me
in marriage, sir?" he asked in as firm
a tone as lie could muster.
"I'm afraid you are not well enough
acquainted with lier, young man," re
marked the father.
"Why, I've seen her twice a week
for nearly a year," said the astonished
suitor.
"That may all be," said the parent,
"but if you knew much about her char
acter you'd have said, 'Will you give
me to your daughter in marriage?' "
A Poet's Slip.
A correspondent of London Notes and
Queries has "caught out" Mr. Kipling
in an extraordinary blunder. He finds
it in the "Last Chantey" in these lines:
Then said the souls of the slaves that
men threw overboard:
"Kenneled In the picaroon a weary band
wero we.
But thy arm was strong to save,
And it touched us on the wave.
And Wo drowsed the long tides idle till
thy trumpets tore the sea."
"Of course," says the commentator,
"the word Kipling meant to use was
barracoon, the technical term for a
slave pen. Picaroon means a rogue."
Catching a Cobra.
A driver on the Avontuur railway,
South Africa, while staying at the
Gamtoos caught a large cobra de ca
pello alive. The cool way In which he
did the trick, says a local paper, sent a
cold shiver through every one who saw
it. lie simply caught hold of the point
of its tail, gave it a sudden jerk toward
him and caught it by the back of the
head. He then placed it In a biscuit
tin. The snake was three inches in
diameter and about four feet long.
Facts Versus Terms.
"I've a terrible toothache. What's
good for it?"
"Nonsense! You've no toothache.
It's simply imagination."
"Well, confound It, what's good for
imagination?"— Boston Transcript.
Horrible Suspicion.
Her Father (to young man who had
asked for his daughter)— That's a very
serious proposition. Can you support a
family? Her Suitor Great Scott! You
haven't Jost your job, have you?"—
Philadelphia Ledger.

CAMERON COUNTY PRKSS, THURSDAY, APRIL 30, 1908.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
I From our Regular Correspondent.!
Washington, April 1908.
111 spiie of the vigorous protests of
the American Newspaper Publishers'
Association against the inaction in the
House oflegislation looking to the free
listing of wood pulp and print paper,
no such action will be taken at this
session of Congress. Speaker Cannon
is master of the situation and has suc
cessfully obstructed all legislation on
this subject by the appointment ot a
special committee, "to make a full in
vestigation touching the alleged com
bination of the manufactures of print
paper."
Although President Roosevelt failed
to realize his heart's desire in obtain
ing four battleships, he won a victory
in the Senate this week when Senator
Hale announced a committee amend
ment to the naval bill making an ap
propriation, immediately available, of
$7,000,000 for the construction of the
two battle ships authorized by the bill.
The fight for this consession was led
by Senator Lodge was clearly intimat
ed to the Senate leaders that the Presi
dent would veto a bill which merely
authorized two ships and made no ap
propriation therefor. While the bill
authorizes the construction of two
ships at a cost of $6,000,000 each, it is
estimated that not more than the $7,-
000.000 available can be utilized before
the first of next year. If this appro
priation has been exausted by that
time an additional sum can and will be
made available.
There is no little resentment in the
Senate over the action of the House in
failing to make the necessary appro
priation of funds for the construction
of the two battleships it authorized,
for the torpedo boats, the new sub
marines and for the submarines already
in process of construction, appropria
tions, for all of which the upper house
has been obliged to add. This course
of the House is regarded in the Senate
as a "grandstand play," enabling it to
point to the increase of appropriations
made by the Senate and to virtuously
cry "extravagance," when, as a matter
of fact the increases have been render,
ed actually imperative by the House
itself.
Entire harmony prevails between the
Senate steering committee and the
leaders of the House over the plans to
be adopted for insuring financial legis
lation at this session of Congress. At
the proper time a motion will be made
to take the Aldrich bill from the Com
mitee on Banking and Currency and
consider it in committee of the whole.
The next motion will bo to strikeout
all after the enacting clause and sub
stitute the Vreeland bill, and finally an
amendment creating a currency com
mission will be added. In this form
the measure will be sent back to the
Senate and from there it will goto con
ference. Representative Vreeland has
completed practically his poll of the
House to ascertain the sentiment to
ward his financial bill, and says he has
found enough favoring the measure to
pass it. The expectation is that the
commission provided for will consist
of five members from each house.

THE FORTY BEACHES OF NEW JERSEY
The one hundred and twenty-five odd miles along
the New Jersey coast line from Long Branch to Cape May
presents the greatest pleasuring section in the United
States
Upon the bluffs of the northern end and the gently
shelving sands of the southern end are located forty resorts
which entertain during the spring and summer season mil
lions of pleasure seekers.
At 110 time in the year is this section more delight
ful than during the spring and early summer months. One
who lias not seen them at this season would marvel at
their delights. The great pine belt, which extends
through the center of New Jersey, fills the air with life
giving ozone, which combined with the salty tang ot the
sea and the open air exercise possible at all times, is ex
hilarating and tonic to the highest degree.
Long Branch, with its beautiful cottage-neighbors,
West End, Hollywood, and Elberon; Deal and Allenhurst,
largely devoted to cottage life; Asbury Park and Ocean
Grove, attracting thousands yearly; Avon, Belmar, Coino,
Spring Lake, and Sea Girt, are a galaxy of attractive
places upon the bluffs where "the country meets the sea."
Then the Barnegat Bay section, where Point Pleas
ant, Sea vSide Park, Island Heights, Barnegat Citv, and
Beach Haven, with other smaller places nearby, welcome
the summer sojourner.
Atlantic City, with its seven miles of beach and
drives, and its charming suburbs, leads the island resorts,
separated from the main land by the great salt marshes.
Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Avalou, and Stone Har
bor; Auglesea, Wildwood, Holly Beach, and Wildwood
Crest also have a large summer population.
And Cape May, with its new million dollar hotel
and its wonderful improvements makes a fitting climax and
holds a high place among the forty beaches.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is the direct route to all
of these resorts from all sections of the country. Its splen
did train service makes each of them neighbor to all the
rest and to the world at large. 24i-io-2t.
