NEW CASTLE, April l1.-At II o'clock
this morning the battle with paper bull
let's. for new municipal officials Of New
Castle began st the mayors Office In
the old Court House. The election is one
of the most important ever held here
on account of the issues involved but
10 unusual excitement at the polls has
yet sprung up. AS the questions now
pending before the city fathers are OF
such vital import, it was hoped that a
business mans ticket would be launched
forth and elected without delay. This
was not done, however, and the politi-
clans brought politics into the election.
In consequence everything and every.
body is at sea. Whether Tom, Dick or
Harry will have control of the city az.
fairs by tomorrow night is not known.
Progressive and public spirited
citizens, who have suddenly become
scarce have allowed things TO run along
helter- skelter and now there are three
or four Democratic tickets, one moth
ing ticket, and one Republican ticket
in the field.
Last night Mayor Herbert appointed
as inspector Trustee Patrick McGrory

Uncle Sam is dear good soul,
tigurativeiy speaking, but he's a
great old asponger.
Whats that9 Amt that treason2
No sir he's an incorrigibIs spon-
ger and in the language OF our
sainted hero, Patrick Henry, if that
be treason let her go gallagher.
I'll cite you to just one or two
instances. de makes you pay ex-
ira postage for carrying your reg
istered letter, and yet If he loses
that letter and your money it is
your loss. and he claims no moro
responsibility than does the man
that looks out from between the
horns of the new moon. He won't
take any risk, but he takes your ex-
ira postage with the same eoolness
that chacterizes bank cashiers whose
health suddenly demands change
of climate. But perhaps the news
paper becomes victim Of Uncle
Sam 5 nervc oftener than does any
other profession. The newspaper
is expected to make announcement
of the dates for holding civil service
examinations aud yet no compensa-
tion is provided for this service. 1t
is the same way with the advertis-
ing of dead letters. 1t may be that
our Uncle Samuel has never thought
of this matter in the proper light.
Perhaps he thinks the newspaper
man is just itching for something
with which to still up, and deems
it work of charity to furnish a list
of letters directed to people who
have become lost, strayed or locked
up. Again our dear uncle may
think the advertising of deceased
mail would naturally come under
the obituary department, and that
such work is not worth paying for.
One other reason suggests itself to
my mind, and may possibly explain
matters: Perhaps our common rela-
tive suffers from a perennial attack
of stringency and he intends to be
more generous when it lets up.
But with all his shortcomings,
Uncle Sam is a relative worth claim.

name.

Character in Walking.

Qnick steps are indicative Of en-.
ergy or agitation. Tiptoe walking
symbolizes surprise, curiosity, dis
cretion or mystery. Turned in toes
are ofteu found with preoccupied
and absent.minded persons. The.
miscr's walk is represented as stoop-
ing, noiseIess, with short, nervous,
anxious steps. Slow steps, whether
long or short, suggest gentle or
reflective state OF mind, as the case
may be. The proud step is slow
and measured; the toes are conspic-
uonsly turned out, the legs straight.
ened. Where a reyengeful purpose
be hidden under a feigned smile the
step will be sinking and noiseless.
The direction of the steps, waver-
ing and following eycry changing
impulse of the mind, inevitably be-
trays uncertainty, hesitation and
indecision. Obstinate people, who
in an argument rely more ON mus
cularity than on intellectual power,
rest the feet fat and firm on the
ground, walk heavily and slowly,
and stand with legs firmly planted
and far apart.

The Girl.

When the girl of sixteen appears
on the street she has cute, pert
way of walking and tossing her
head as though she owned the
earth and was going to the middle
of the next block to get it. After
she is 18 the world she owns is
about as far away as the Worlds
Fair is to most of us, and at 20 she
gives mp all hope of getting it at all.
By the time she is %, poor thingl
she has a faint suspicion that there
are great deal of insincerity in the
world, and the thing for her to do
is to get a position and do some-
thing useful. After while she gets
married to a man who is not at all
the sort of man she dreamed of.
Then she concludes she would be
better off in heaven.

Maxims for the school Room.

Be what you wish your pupils
to be.
Convince your pupils that you
believe in education.
Do nothing to lower a pupils
selfrespect.
Earnestness will make even dull
study interesting.
Fasten every principle by fre-
quent repetition.
Gentleness, justice and firmness
are the essentials of influence.
Have no pets or favorites.
1t is what child does for himself
and by himself that educates him.
Justice must be the basis of all
rules.
Know what you propose to teach.
Let your pupils see that you
would do as you request them to
do fin their places.
Monotony in school means the
end of usefulness.
Never punish pupils, or even
speak to pupils when angry.
One chief purpose of instruction
is to create and foster a zeal for
study.
Politeness in the teacher secures
politeness in the pupil.
Questions should follow each 9TH
er in a natural manner.
Resistance is due to ignorance or
the human will.
Success in government turns on
the deft presentation of motive.
The best government reaches its
ends indirectly
Unite frmness and good nature.
Whether a subject yields disci-
pline to the pupil, depends ON the
manner in which it is taught.

why should We weepY

Why should we weep for those who die1
They fall; their dust returns to dust;
Their souls shall live eternally
Within the mansions of the Just
They die to live; they sink to rise;
They leave this wretched mortal shores
But brighter suns and bluer skies
Shall smile on them forevermore.
Why should we sorrow for the deadl
Our life on earth is but span.
They tread the path that all must tread:
They die the common death of man.
The hoblest songsters of the dale
Must cease when winters frowns appear;
The reddest rose is wan and pale
When autumn tints the changing year.
The fairest flower on earth must fade;
The brightest hopes on earth must die.
Why should we mourn that man was made
To droop on earth. but dwell on highl
The soul, tn eternal soul, must reign
In worlds devoid of pain and strife.
Then why should mortal man complain
OF death. which leads TO happier life7
