prevailed wthing the State as the result of
faithful and impartial administration of law in
every department of the government the abun-
lant harvest with which the labor of our hands
has been blessed and the exemption of our homes
from pestilence and famine, should cause us TO
turn with reverent and graceful hearts to Him
who is the great source of lile health prosperity
aud happiness.

among these are said to be the calling

whisky ought to be kept. The reasons
for this are clear and strong. Our
policy has always been to tax luxuries.
Tobacco and whisky are luxuries-the
latter especially SO. There is reason
for tightening the tax on tobacco
because of the universally of its use,
and the fact that its preparation invol-
YES an opportunity for the poor to
labor. But whiskey has no such
recommendation. 1t is purely and
only luxury. AS such it should pay
a large revenue to the government.

A STRANGE CASE. The Erery Ecea-
ing gives the following account of how
a man will probably be brought to ac-
count for murder in this State five
years ago:
In 1876 a burglar named Thomas
Hand, robbed three stores in Millville,
N. j., and then with companion came
| to Delaware to avoid arrest. When
just below Smyrna the two men quar-
relied, and Hand beat his companion so
badly that he was compelled to return
to New Jersey where he was imm =
diately arrested. When arrested the
injured man was too sick to he sent to
Jail and was taken To his home. He
told the authorities where they could
find Hand, and detective John Hart
man of Millville, New Jersey, was sent
after the criminal. When the dctec-
tive reached Wilmington, Detective
Jones, then patr0lman under Mayor
Whiteley, was commissioned to GO with
Detective Hartman in search for Hand.
The two officers went down the State
on February 9th and found that tu
reach Hand they would have to walk a
great distance through the snow. They
started out, but when nearly at the
destination of their journey, jones' foot
was frozen, and he had to be brought
back to Wilmington. Hartman again
went down the state by himself, and
captured Hand near Collins Beach
He was taken to New Jersey, tried
convicted, and sentenced to imprison
ment for five years. About three
months after his conviction the com

THE MODEL CASHIER.


He loved to teach in Sunday-school
The straight and narrow way;
He loved TO with the children sing;
He also loved TO pray,
He never used tobacco, and
He never drank a drop;
His excellent department put
In shade our Turveydrop.
From sweeping out he rose until
lie gained the highest rank;
Was trusted and respected
AS the Cashier Of the Bank.
And then he handled millions;
Ran the business alone;
And from his house to Wall street
Had private telephone.
The sleepy old Directors
Once year expressed content;
And sometimes tottered in the bank
The aged President.
Things ran along as usual;
All confidence was placed
In THE the greatest financler
That e'er bank had graced,
Till came the shock which overwhelmed
Directors, President,
And ali the world--this fine Cashier
Had stolen-not a cent.

Endless time to ones back hair
Full nine hours are passed in slumber,

While for dressing two's the number,
Ten hours only are left free.

Lunch time cOmeth all too soon;

But it's always out Of season,
