A half century ago the bridgewas deemed a wonder, a remarkable en-gineering feat. But today a newerscience of engineering has hidden thegiant structure fromview, and the entirevalley has been filled in with countlesscarloads of dirt and sand, only twostaunch and unobtrusive culverts atthe bottom of the embankment allow-ing the littlestream to go on its way.
Striking off from the main line atHigh Bridge, the branch, whichtakes itsname from that junction, begins asteady climb to the north, penetratinga wilder, though wonderfully fertile up-land.

But today a newer science of engineering has hidden the giant structure from view, and the entire valley has been filled in with countless carloads of dirt and sand, only two staunch and unobtrusive culverts at the bottom of the embankment allow- ing the little stre»m to go on its way.
Striking off from the main line at High Bridge, the branch, which takes its name from that junction, begins a steady climb to the north, penetrating a wilder, though wonderfully fertile up- land. Cutting through a maze of wil- derness and rolling country, the train makes a gradual ascent, picking a ser- [>entine path along the ridge-side and ooking down upon the romping waters
of the Raritan, visible through the oc-

A few miles on lies one of the quaint- est little farming settlements in this delightful section—German Valley.

Stages that meet all trains at German Valley station give connection with Schooley’s Mountain, affording a de- lightful drive through shaded roads to the hotel and cottage colony on the summit. On this small level two large hotels are set in a parklike tract from which famous drives radiate, forming one of the chief attractions of the place.

With all her care of me, Miss Alicealways had time for the gardens, therose garden and the sunken garden.But the rose garden she loved best;there old Chloe would serve tea forher on pleasant afternoons, at a tinyround table which just held her favoritetea service, and two little cups of hermother's willowMvare.
There came the young Captain manytimes, at first to laugh and chat and paypretty compliments to Miss Alice, andthen to sigh and be silent, and tobuildtogether airy "castles inSpain." Thencame the war talk; and then one dayhe came inhis new blue uniform, to saygood-bye. He looked so fine and bigand handsome. He walked up thepath jaunty and soldierly, and with alaugh inhis gray eyes. And Miss Alice,inher sprigged muslin dress and her firstJack roses in her hand, was waiting forhim under the lindens. She had peenhumming a gay little tune and smilingto herself.
But when the Captain came swingingalong in his blue uniform, the laughterwent out of her face and the gay littletune died on her lips. And he waitedthere at the foot of the garden pathuntil she went down to him, and laidher Jack roses inhis hand. And theyspoke so softlyIcould not hear a word.They were very quiet at tea that day,and he stayed a long, long time. Evenafter he had gone Miss Alice sat at thespinnet for hours, sometimes restingher head in her hands and sometimesplaying plaintive melodies. For daysher eyes were red, and her householdtasks were forgotten. The old silvergot black and tarnished and the dustlay deep on the settle and the spinnet.Even the roses were neglected. Thenone morning she put on her old sun-bonnet and took the big shears andwent out to the gardens for the wholeday. Next she set Chloe tohouseclean-ing, though it already had been donein May and this was June. By andbye the color came back to Miss Alice's

mHAD heard it long ago, fromthe lips of my own Miss Alice,that by association one be-comes noble or ignoble, as the
case may be. So perhaps it was be-cause, from my earliest days, Miss Alicehad lived within my four walls, fillingnooks and corners with the sweetnessand the graciousness of her presence,that Ibecame what passersby call eventoday, in my old age, a noble house.Not that Iam ever vain, but only thatIfeel a vast difference in the straight,pure lines of my building, my gambrelroof and my wide entrance, and thegingerbread houses of today down theroad. But they have never had a MissAlice to grow up in them ; perhaps thatmakes the distinction. For Miss Alicewas one of those quiet, gracious beingsof the olden time that make enchantingheroines for Revolutionary novels. Shewas lovely to look at, was Miss Alice,withall the outer and the inner charmsyou could think of in a week. Shecalled me Tranquility.
She took such care of me that theyears went by as in a dream. Everyother season Ihad mynew coat of ivorywhite paint, and my blinds and my rooftheir dark green. Mylittle squares ofFrench glass, through which the Somer-set sunshine filtered rose color, were al-ways shining, and within dainty cur-tains of barred lawn were ever fresh andneat.Itook as much pride in my furnish-
ings as Miss Alice herself; in the im-mense settle that stood in the hall, inthe bright brass andirons, in the oldandirons, polished as in the days ofAlice's great grandmother. There wasa low bookcase, for Miss Alice was book-ish in a girlish sort of way. Where thewide eastern windows opened above therose garden, was the dining room, withits old sideboards and its silver ser-vices.

HAD heard it long ago, from the lips of my own Miss Alice, that by association one be- comes noble or ignoble, as the
case may be. So perhaps it was be- cause, from my earliest days, Miss Alice had lived within my four walls, filling nooks and corners with the sweetness and the graciousness of her presence, that I became what passersby call even today, in my old age, a noble house. Not that I am ever vain, but only that I feel a vast difference in the straight, pure lines of my building, my gambrel roof and my wide entrance, and the gingerbread houses of today down the road. But they have never had a Miss Alice to grow up in them; perhaps that makes the distinction. For Miss Alice was one of those quiet, gracious beings of the olden time that make enchanting heroines for Revolutionary novels. She was lovely to look at, was Miss Alice, with all the outer and the inner charms you could think of in a week. She called me Tranquility.
She took such care of me that the years went by as in a dream. Every other season I had my new coat of ivory white paint, and my blinds and my roof their dark green. My little squares of French glass, through which the Somer- set sunshine filtered rose color, were al- ways shining, and within dainty cur- tains of barred lawn were ever fresh and neat.
I took as much pride in my furnish- ings as Miss Alice herself; in the im- mense settle that stood in the hall, in the bright brass andirons, in the old andirons, polished as in the days of Alice’s great grandmother. There was a low bookcase, for Miss Alice was book- ish in a girlish sort of way. Where the wide eastern windows opened above the rose garden, was the dining room, with its old sideboards and its silver ser- vices. Chippendale was at his best there, claw and ball feet, shell carving and all—the finest old mahogany in Somerset County.
With all her care of me, Miss Alice always had time for the gardens, the rose garden and the sunken garden. But the rose garden she loved best; there old Chloe would serve tea for her on pleasant afternoons, at a tiny round table which just held her favorite tea service, and two little cups of her mother’s willow-ware.
There came the young Captain many times, at first to laugh and chat and pay pretty compliments to Miss Alice, and then to sigh and be silent, and to build together airy “castles in Spain.” Then came the war talk; and then one day he came in his new blue uniform, to say good-bye. He looked so fine and big and handsome. He walked up the 1>ath jaunty and soldierly, and with a augh in his gray eyes. And Miss Alice,
in her sprigged muslin dress and her first Jack roses in her hand, was waiting for him under the lindens. She had been humming a gay little tune and smiling to herself.
But when the Captain came swinging along in his blue uniform, the laughter went out of her face and the gay little tune died on her lips. And he waited there at the foot of the garden path until she went down to him, and laid her Jack roses in his hand. And they spoke so softly I could not hear a word. They were very quiet at tea that day, and he stayed a long, long time. Even after he had gone Miss Alice sat at the spinnet for hours, sometimes resting her head in her hands and sometimes playing plaintive melodies. For days her eyes were red, and her household tasks were forgotten. The old silver got black and tarnished and the dust lay deep on the settle and the spinnet. Even the roses were neglected. Then one morning she put on her old sun- bonnet and took the big shears and went out to the gardens for the whole day. Next she set Chloe to houseclean- ing, though it already had been done in May and this was June. By and bye the color came back to Miss Alice’s

road came a couple— a girl with blueeyes and sunny hair like Miss Alice's,and a man withnice gray eyes. Ihadnoticed how they seemed— like thepeople Iused to know, but knew nomore. The girl stopped— perhapssome glimmer of my past came to her.
"Oh, Dick," she said, and her voicehad the gentle quality of Miss Alice's,"Oh, Dick—this is our house of dreams !"
"Pretty substantial for dreams," saidthe man.
"But look; it's just what we've beenwanting so much ! It doesn't needanything at all but a coat of paint,and a littlebit of love and care."
"Well, itlooks good to me, too," saidthe man, "and it has the practical ad-vantage of being within striking dis-tance of the city. And, let me see~-why, Icould commute on the JerseyCentral inless than an hour !
"Some hint of the old joy of living
came back to me, when the girl cameinand looked me over. She saw all thethings that had been overlooked sinceMiss Alice cared for them. The rich-ness of the wood trim, the spaciousnessof the hall, the great fire place, the fewremaining French panes. When thegirl came to the gardens she was verystill for a while, her quick eyes seeingall they had been and were no more.
"Dick," she said, very solemnly,"Dick, somebody, sometime, has lovedthis old house and these old gardens,and they have gone torack and ruin justbecause that someone has gone away.NowIwant more than anything Ieverwanted this old place to take care of.It's what we've been dreaming of allour lives, back in the stuffy city. Nowlet's act—right away, and take it!
""Itbrings back the oldpinafore days,
when we were only make-believe sweet-hearts, up at grandmother's place inthe Berkshires," said the man softly."Let's tackle the agent before we goback," and as his enthusiasm bounded,"No more subway for mine !
"And sure enough, in a few weeks,
came the blue-eyed girlwithwomen andpails and scrubbing brushes and broomsand soaps, and very soon Ifelt like anew house— as clean and sweet as whenMiss Alice lived here. Came carpen-ters to patch up my worn places, and
cheeks, though she never sang anymore.
The captain never came back. Iwasglad, since had he come my Alice wouldhave gone to live in his great housedown the road, and Iwould never haveknown how beautifully a woman cangrow old.
The months and the years went by.Miss Alice's sunny hair grew gray, butstill she cared for me, and kept me, out-side and in, sweet and clean and noble.Not until she died did my fortuneschange, and then ina few days all thatIhad been was wiped out and Iwas abare, plain, neglected house. All thefine old mahogany, the rag carpets, thedainty curtains, were carted off, thegreen lawn was trampled upon, thesunken garden made a junk heap, andIwas left alone, with only memoriesof the dear lady who had made me whatIwas. Wind and storm did their worsttomy ivorypaint that winter,and whenspring came Iwas frankly a sight to be-hold. My pink paned windows werebroken, and half of my blinds were fallenfrom their hinges. For the first time inmy life Irealized Iwas old.
Then came summer people, and forfour months Ilived such a life as wouldhave made Miss Alice shudder. Theirpiano was never in tune and their fur-niture,—well it was not like MissAlice's. The gardens were allowed togo to ruin, for no one cared— except me.The hedge ran all over itself, for no onekept ittrim and neat. The childrenscratched and dented my smooth floors,and Ifelt fearfully the weight of athousand summers.
The next winter Ispent alone againand the summer was even worse. Mypaint was streaked and ragged, and mynice French panes had been replacedwith ordinary glass. So many dis-tressing summers Ispent that Ilost allinterest inlife;there was nothing to livefor.
Then came a never-to-be-forgottenMay morning. Even the neglectedroses were trying to put out a few buds,and down in the sunken garden, nowused for an ash heap, stalks of larkspurand lavender, mignonette and raggedsailors, violets and pansies, were tryingto overcome conditions. Along the

cheeks, though she never sang any more.
The captain never came back. I was glad, since had he come my Alice would have gone to live in his great house down the road, and I would never have known how beautifully a woman can grow old.
The months and the years went by. Miss Alice’s sunny hair grew gray, but still she cared for me, and kept me, out- side and in, sweet and clean and noble. Not until she died did my fortunes change, and then in a few days all that I had been was wiped out and I was a bare, plain, neglected house. All the fine old mahogany, the rag carpets, the dainty curtains, were carted off, the green lawn was trampled upon, the sunken garden made a junk heap, and I was left alone, with only memories of the dear lady who had made me what I was. Wind and storm did their worst to my ivory paint that winter, and when spring came I was frankly a sight to be- hold. My pink paned windows were broken, and half of my blinds were fallen from their hinges. For the first time in my life I realized I was old.
Then came summer people, and for four months I lived such a life as would have made Miss Alice shudder. Their piano was never in tune and their fur- niture,—well it was not like Miss Alice’s. The gardens were allowed to go to ruin, for no one cared—except me. The hedge ran all over itself, for no one kept it trim and neat. The children scratched and dented my smooth floors, and I felt fearfully the weight of a thousand summers.
The next winter I spent alone again and the summer was even worse. My paint was streaked and ragged, and my nice French panes had been replaced with ordinary glass. So many dis- tressing summers I spent that I lost all interest in life; there was nothing to live for.
Then came a never-to-be-forgotten May morning. Even the neglected roses were trying to put out a few buds, and down in the sunken garden, now used for an ash heap, stalks of larkspur and lavender, mignonette and ragged sailors, violets and pansies, were trying to overcome conditions. Along the
road came a couple—a girl with blue eyes and sunny hair like Miss Alice’s, and a man with nice gray eyes. I had noticed how they seemed—like the people I used to know, but knew no more. The girl stopped—perhaps some glimmer of my past came to her.
“Oh, Dick,” she said, and her voice had the gentle quality of Miss Alice’s, “Oh, Dick—this is our house of dreams!”

THE SUBURBANITE
A warning to the traveling public has been sounded by a recent decision in Alabama in whichthe use of a commutation or family ticket by someone else than its real owner, has entailed a seriousSsnalty upon the user. The decision was handed down by Judge Hundley, of the United States
istrict Court in Alabama.Thomas Williams, a resident of Memphis, Tenn., owned a commutation ticket between his
home and Birmingham, Alabama, which contained the usual provision that it would be void ifpre-sented for passage by anyone other than person to whom itwas issued. He loaned his ticket to afriend, Daniel Pounds, who presented itto the conductor on the train who_happened to"know Williams.The conductor permitted Pounds to ride to his destination, but telegraphed to Birmingham for aUnited States marshall tomeet the train. When Pounds arrived there he was arrested, being chargedwith a violationof the Interstate Commerce act, which makes the acceptance of free transportationa high crime.
Judge Hundley's opinion holds that Pounds was guilty ofaccepting free transportation on theground that the ticket when he presented itbecame void because of the provision contained in it,and byriding on ithe was accepting free transportation. He was fined $2,000.
Williams, to whom the ticket was originallyissued, has since been tried and convicted of aidingand abetting Pounds to commit a high crime and was also fined $2,000.
From this case itis seen that New Jersey commuters who loan tickets or use borrowed ticketsnot only run the risk of the penalties of the Interstate Commerce act, but are also in danger of fine orimprisonment under an act of the New Jersey Legislature, passed in 1904, which makes any personwho barters, sells or transfers any railroad ticket or evidence of right to transportation is guilty of amisdemeanor, whichisan offense punishable bya term of imprisonment inState's prison

Incidentally, this sentenceserves as a warning to the commuters on NewJersey railroads, who, it is reported, have beenknown to frequently loan their monthly or
other forms of commutation tickets to friends.Not only is the same Federal statute applicablehere, but there is a law in this State, passed bythe Legislature of 1904, making the "barter, saleor transfer of railroad tickets, or evidence ofright of transportation," a misdemeanor, which,under the statutes, is punishable by a heavy fineor imprisonment for a term, the maximum ofwhich is three years.
Thomas Williams, who lived in Memphis,Tenn., and commuted to Birmingham, Ala.,loaned his ticket to Daniel Pounds, who present-ed it for passage. Pounds was arrested on acharge of violation of the interstate commercelaws. Judge Hundley held that the acceptanceof free transportation, as construed by the law,was a high crime, and when Williams was con-
victed the court decreed that he was guilty ofaiding and abetting Pounds in the commissionof the same crime, and each man was fined$2,000.

Progressive Spirit That HasHelped Somerville
By C. P. HOAGLAND
TTJOWHERE in the "Garden State"jVJ is there a town that is sur-[\ rounded by more picturesque——'
and historic associations thanSomerville. As a residential town itisunique in many features. As a com-mercial centre it is second to none ofits size in New Jersey and it is fastbecoming a noted manufacturing town,due largely to its progressive Boardof Trade.
Somerville is thirty-five miles fromNew York on that best managed of allsuburban roads, the New Jersey Cen-tral. Thirty trains to and from themetropolis, many making the run in alittleover an hour, make the town mostdesirable as a home for New Yorkbusiness men. Every street in townis macadamized, and the sidewalksare all flagged. The Board of Com-missioners, seven in number who areelected yearly, serve without pay andthe best interests of the town are al-ways uppermost in their minds. Be-sides sewers, electric street lights, gas,water, and an efficient police force, thetown prides itself upon its volunteerfire department composed of one hund-red and fifty business men. and dividedinto four companies, each separatelyhoused, with modern apparatus andhorses to draw them.
The school facilities are above theaverage to be found ina suburban town.Graduates of the High School are ad-mitted without examination to a num-ber of the foremost colleges of thecountry, which fact alone is evidenceof their high standing.
Somerville being the county seat ofSomerset County, the Bar Associationsome few years ago began the agitationfor a new court house with the resultthat a splendid $250,000 marble struc-ture is nearing completion. A new jailcosting $75,000 has just been completedand is considered not only the handsom-est but the most secure of any similarstructure in New Jersey.
A half dozen religious denominationsare represented here, the Dutch Re-
formed predominating. One of theDutch churches is over one hundredyears old. Three of these churcheshave within a few years erected hand-some edifices, all are free from debt andthe parish work of each is carried on inan enterprising manner.
A Public Library, previously con-ducted as a private corporation hasbeen turned over to the town and it'sprivileges are now free to all. TheSomerset Hospital, perhaps the mostmodern in New Jersey, has the advan-tage of an efficient local staff, whohave as consulting physicians and sur-geons some of the most able men in theprofession, while the work of the in-stitution has been in some cases, mar-velous. The hospital is maintained byprivate subscriptions and donations sogenerous that the building is now en-tirely free from debt and there is asubstantial surplus in the treasury.
As a shopping center Somerville offersinducements to the people of SomersetCounty, rarely afforded a rural com-munity. Stores of every nature withthe market's latest offerings all doa thriving business. The close proxi-mity to New York and the naturalmetropolitan ideas of the residents areall anticipated by the enterprising mer-chants and "if it's in the market theyhave it." Two National Banks, onewith assets considerably over $1,000,-000.00 are the best indication of thegrowth of the town.
It has not been many years sinceSomerville was looked upon as a goodmanufacturing town. Twenty yearsago, James Brown, Jr. began ina smallway to manufacture clothing, buyingthe cloth from out of town mills. Theresult of his enterprise soon convincedhim that he was as well able to makethe cloth as his competitors so he or-ganized the Somerville Woolen Millsand erected a building large enough fora force of a thousand workmen. Thebusiness prospered and today two othersimilar concerns are turning out cloth-ing and cloth.
Nowhere in New Jersey is the sociallife more congenial than in Somerville.There are a number of well establishedclubs while fraternal societies are nu-merous, veryorganization being repre-sented.
