Poor old Sophia Bower, the widow
of a veteran of the war Of 1872, died of
starvation few days ago, at Peters
burg, New York. She had applied for
a pension several times, but in vain.
She was very poor, and had no friends.
Widows of the war Of 1912 must not
think that Americans can take the
trouble, expense and time now to keep
them from starving. We've got the
heathens, and the refugees, and Gene
raj Grant, and the deceased Presidents
widows to look after and provide for,
and the old soldiers widows will have
to 90 to the poor house or starve.

EVERY now and then some puppet
springs up to abuse Delaware for main
tanning a whipping-post. They are
small-sized puppets, as general thing,
but they carry great deal of steam,
and they must discharge it frequently
or burst. When they have nothing else
to yell at and their liVer-pad comes
loose. and their safety valve begins to
sputter, they go for the "old relic Of
a barbarism,'' and call little Delaware
names for "injuring " the finer feelings"
of burglars and chicken thieves. Del
aware is not very big but she can take
care of herself and her criminals. If
burglars and chicken thieves don't
want their finer feelings" injured
thew will have to carry them into some
other State.

IT Is said of the President that he
''chafes under social restraint, and that
he would like to be more free in his
actions" If this be the case, why in
the mischief does he not throw off his
''social restraint, and put on an old,
easy fitting suit Of clothes. The Presi-
dent of the United States is just as good
as any other man, and it is an outrage
that he has to go around chafng un-
der social restraint" Let him tip
his chair back, put his feet on the man
tel, and spit at the cats eye, if he wants
to. This is a free country, according
to the records.
