Virgins Great Storm.

Professor E. Stone Virgins, the great
Canadian weather prophet, insists that
the great storm he predicted for this fall
will be on hand. He says he does not
anticipate any futher great change in the
weather until fall. September" he says,
will open cold and stormy, premonitory
to my great storm commencing on the
afternoon of September 20, and the great
war of the elements will come as sure as
the sun is in the heavens. 1t will be a
storm of unparalleled violence, and ate II
sweeping across the Atlantic and travers-
ing the country, will exhaust its energies
upon the rugged front offered by the
Rocky Mountains. Fishermen in the
maritime provincesand in Newfoundland
have not beenslow toappreciate my pre-
dictions, and have already received in
telligence from many that they have
made arrangements to be in port on the
date of the destructive storm" We have
not much faith in the representations OF
Virgins as we believe no mortal man is
able to foretell coming events. The best
of the predictions is guess work.

Fight With a Snake

Jake Beiman, an employee on Cohn
ranch, went up into the hill to get some
cattle when he encountered a snake.
The reptile was close to a large rock when
he found him, and the rock was hanked
by log. Beiman noticed large hole at
an angle Of the rock and log, for which
the snake made on being surprised
Selling large rock he cast it at thesnake
grazing its body On receiving the blow
it turned like lightning and sprang at its
antagonist. Beiman stumbled over some
bushes, and the snake coiled about him
in an instant. A piece of wood was
close TO the mans hand and reaching
for it, he struck the snake several sharp
blows on the head. The latter turned
and ran his head into the hole dragging
Beiman close to it, The man braced his
feet against the rock, but could not extri-
cate himself, as the snake had twisted
half its body around his left leg, and, as
afterward said was just squeezing the
life out Of it," Beiman was nearly an
hour in this prcdicament, until he final
ly thought of his knife, and getting it out
ofhis pocket jabbed it into the snakes
body. After few cuts the snake be-
came enraged and began to wriggle its
head out Of the hole. Bciman saw that
his time was short and made lively at
tack on the snakes neck, severing it,.
The instant it was severed the neck rose
conyulsively in the air and a spout of
blood came full in the frightened mans
face. At this point he tainted away, and
he thinks he must have remained in that
condition over an hour When he came
to the snake was still coiled around his
leg, but dead. lie brought it home, and
it is now on exhibition at the ranch. 1t
measured ten feet eight inches without
the head. Tx.

"a Mirage Of Promise" is the title of a
new novel by Miss Harriet Pennewell
Belt, daughter of z. James Belt, of Will
mington, Del. The manuscript of this
is now in the hands of Lippincott & Co.
Philadelphia, publishers. Miss Belt is
correcting proof, and the novel will soon
be out. This is the second work that
has come from the pen of this talented
young authoress. The first novel, MAR
gerry Huntingdon" was so popular that
a second edition was issued. The scenes
of "a Mirage of Promise" are laid in
1924, and are geographically described.
The work will be issued about the 10th
ofOctober, and its appearance is anxious
ly looked for.

What Will The Harvest Be

We know of no town that has finer
prospects for becoming place of impor-
lance than Newark. The location is adj
mirable the people are industrious,
many rich, and verify we reside in land
flowing with milk and honey. Every
man and woman ought to be proud OF
Newark. What other town has better
railroad facilities If railroads increase
each citizen will be carried to his door
by a steam engine. Merchants and 9TH
ers will receive freight free, because there
will be a severe competition between the
many roads. 1t now remains with the
citizens as to the future of this glorious
railroad centre. The time is not far in
the dim future when our population will
be estimated by thousands electric
lights will illuminate the streets and
stores ; water will be carried over town
in pipes-and still many of us will not
he happy, because we are not making
more than per cent. out of the money
invested.

The Love Of Home.

The love Of home is not an art nor an
accomplishment. It does not come from
early training or education. 1t is the in
stinct of humanity. 1t is egift of God.
1t is pure emotion and brings Joy and
comfort to the humble and the great
BE it ever so humble, there is no place
like home" No wonder that the simple
song Of John Howard Payne endeared
him to the world. The world felt its
touching, tender truth and wept Il SYM
pathetic tear. 1t is the want of a home
that makes tramps and vagabonds and
desperate men. Sometimes l think the
nation could well afford to give every
father and mother home. Besides the
love of those who are dear to us there is
something in the locality that affects us
something in the familiar scenes, the
trees, the fields, the branches, the run
ming spring, or the generous we'll. We
love the trees and vines that have borne
us fruit or given lis shade. the open fire
place that gives us welcome on winter
night the bed that gives us rest and sleep,
and the ever-pleasing prospect of the dis
tant hills and mountains that seem as if
reaching up to God, Even the beasts and
birds are concious of this love of home.
The lowing herd winds slowly DER the
lea, as the cattle seek their accustomed
place. The faithful loving dog will trave
miles and leagues to reach it, and the cat
cannot be easily weaned from the CHM
ney corner. Man has made use of this
never-failing, never-ceasing love of the
carrier pigeon, and it commands our re-
spect and admiration when we see it re-
leased from its unwilling prison in dis
ant land and watch it ascend and circle
and take its bearings and then, with
swift and tireless wing, make for its
home by the nearest line

WAMAMAKER'S.
Our NORTON OF A STORE.

Our NoTIoN OF A STORE.
Not the building-the men
and women and boys and girls
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
last but not least the mer-
chandise.
The building comfortable,
big enough, full of light and
air, the parts adapted to see
ing things that have to be sold,
and for touching things that
have to be touched. If it be a
beautiful building so much the
better; noble, better yet; but
use before beauty and dignity.
The advantage of architectural
grace in a store is to predis-
pose you toward the merchant
and merchandise. That is a
secondary matter. Saving of
work, which is saving of time,
comes first; all sorts of work.
1t tells in the prices; and prices
they are the test in a store.
Accommodations : places to sit,
wait, meet, talk, rest, eat, drink
and be merry; whatever is
done between business-place
to leave ones parcels Of course.
One Of the handiest institu-
tons of our generation is the
general store in the city. 1t
differs from the country store
in size-it is big enough to deal
in all sorts of things that go
well together; in nearness to
source Of supply nearness
nowadays isn't measured by
miles-it can buy of the max
er; in versatility-it can gath
er and use experts in every
sort of merchandise; in facili-
ties-it can provide the means
of doing everything quickly,
easily, well and cheaply; in tax
ing responsibilities-it can say
to the maker-there is no one
between them to hinder:
MY things must be right, !
am pledged for them it can
say to its customer: "My
things are right, | know the
maker | guarantee them" 1t
can say foy its servants, its
statesmen and packers and cart
men and common carriers
My things are TOO good to be
wasted by their neglect, my
reputation too important to be
impaired by their Indifference,
they must do their work as it
ought to be done or take the
consequences, | guarantee it. "
In a word, it can give because
it can get satisfaction.
The little country store can't
do these things. 1t can promise
many things and be sorry
when most of them fail. The
little country store is months

THIS town seems to be improving
in almost every way with the ex-
ception of better facilities for light
ing the streets, etc. 1t is said that
were the Commissioners so disposed,
an electric light plant could be plac-
ed in the town in short while.
The stock would be taken by Will
mington capitalists. The Commits
sioners need not anticipate any
trouble in the way of imposition by
foreign capital, so to speak. 1t would
be as mnch to the interest of those
holding stock, no matter how far
distant, as capitalists here, were they
interested. The thing could be made
to go while the chance remains
open. New buildings are going up,
in many of which business will be
conducted. Such will need light,
If they cannot get the assurance Of
an electric light, they must pur-
chase lamps, and go into other ex-
penses they would not otherwise
have to do. Surely time enough
has been spent in taking about the
matter Middleton has been
watched and now the electric light
is working admirably there The
same result would be witnessed
here. Do not let us drag through
another winter with the uncertainty
of gasoline lighting.

THE Educational NelCs, published
in Philadelphia, has adopted an in
genious and we think admirable
plan, for disposing of those adver-
tisers who have a trick Of stealing
space in its columns. The editor,
after sending a bill and waiting a
reasonable time and getting no re-
ply, places the name of the firm adj
vertising in italicized letters in Il
conspicuous place in his journal
under the heading Of advertise
ments dropped BY this means the
many readers of the Nccs are warn
ed of the mrcliability of the adj
vertised firm. We think this would
be Il capital plan for all the news
papers to adopt, and by so doing
crush out the dead beat advertisers
whose cards appear in nearly every
paper in the country, THE LEDGER
will surely follow the example set
forth by the Nc,os, and it already has
list of advertisers which it will
expose unless they make prompt
settlement of their bills. Not only
will we expose them, but will take
the trouble to circulate their names
extensively wherever they are
known. The warming has gone forth.
1t now remains with the advertiser
who has long been in arrears to
come and settle.

mistake if it thinks we mean to
class Wilmington in, when we said

elect n chairman. The factions are

ton. Both of these gentlemen were
nominated for chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the county,
and balloting lasted all day, stand
