Here !" exclaimed an irate hobby
rider, "here is the secret and curse of
one-third of the social revolution now
agitating the country. See Furnished
suites, apartments, rooms, &C. for light
housekeeping. l tell you, that term
light housekeeping embodies the
whole story. What would YOU think
of men advertising for light bookeep-
ing, light drumming, banking or clerk
ing?
Electric bells, telephones, pneumatic
tubes and typewriting machines have
all expedited business methods. Just as
gas stoves and patent wringers are cal
culated to relieve domestic drUdgery.
Bot none of these inventions Drofessed
to really lessen mans or woman's
work. Men who build up and conduct
successful commercial enterprises to-
day toll as long and faithfully over the
realization of their ambition as did their
forefathers hundred years ago.
And just as the business interests of
the country depend upon the diligence
and fidelity of men, so is the mainten-
ance of the home in its highest develop
ment confided to the honorable indus
try of women.
Only the other day met a clever,
charming gentleman Of my acquaut.

only occupies the chair of mathematics
in a college, but doubles his income
with literary work. We were at a
fashionable reception where he looked
bored to death, and his wife, a hand

be having good time. Urging me to
stop and see him i mentioned his num-

of very mournful eyes upon me and
shook his head.
"'Oh, no. he murmured, we've
broken up housekeeping

"'Yes. Wife, you know, couldn't

Night.

Night.
Night is the time for rest;
How sweet when labors close,
To gather round an aching breast
The curtain of repOse,
Stretch the tired limbs, and lay the head
Down on our own delightful bed
Night is the time for dreams;
The gay romance Of life,
When truth that is, and truth that seems,
Mix in the fantastic strife;
All visions less beguiling far
Than waking dreams by daylight are
Night is the time to weep;
To wet with unseen tears
Those graves of Memory, where sleep
The Joys Of other years;
Hopes that were angels at their birth,
But died when young, like things of earth.
Night is the time to watch;
Der oceans dark expanse.
To hail the Pleiades, or catch
The full moons earliest glance,
That brings into the homesick mind
AL we have loved and left behind.
Night is the time for care;
Brooding on hours misspent,
To see the spectre of Despair
Come to our lonely tent;
Like Brutus, midst his Slumbering host,
Summoned to die by Caesars ghost.
Night is the time to think;
When from the eye the soul
Takes flight; and on the utmost brink
Ofyonder starry pole
DiScerns beyond the abyss OF night

The barn and outbuildings oE<Blys
Kibbler farm, near Bohemia MSssSShr,
belonging to the estate of the late
Governor Benjamin T. Biggs, was
destroyed by FIRE last Wednesday.
The barn aAd granary were filed with
this years crop, and there were also
two horses in the barn, and they
perished in the flames. The origin of
the fire is unknown. The loss is about
$500, with no insurance. The farm
was tenanted by Benjamin Nef.

WATER WORKS FOR SEAFoRD.-The
citizens of Seaford, Wednesday week
voted for water works and also for fire
protection. Since the recent big fire
in Seaford the citizens have realized
that protection from flames was needed.
At the election it was decided, by
big majority, to put in water wOr ks.
A committee was elected to consider
plans. 1t is expected that a chemical
fire engine will also be bought by the
Town Commissioners.

A SIDE IssUE.-Says the Daily Re-
publican: The Democrats are labOring
very hard to divert attention from the
questions at issue between the different
parties in our State, by dragging into
the canvass the names of the candidates
for the U. 5. Senate. 1t will be time
enough to determine who shall have
the honor to represent the State in the
U. S. Senate next winter. If the Re-
publcaus have a majority of the mem
bers Hoo. Anthony Higgins will very
probably be reelected, as be has con-
Quoted himself very creditably and his
service deserves this recognition at the
hands of his party. If, on the other
hand the Democrats shall be in the ma
jority, either Willard salisbury or
Edward l.. Martin will be elected to
that honorable position. The issue at
present is between Republicans and
Democrats; between the PrOtectionists
and anti-Protectionists, and not be-
tween members of the same party.
After the meeting of the Legislature it
will be time enough to determine who
shall be Senator,

Local Option in Kent-The startling
announcement is made that % men, all
provided with government licenses, are
daily and almost hourly violating the
local option laws of Kent county. A
sad commentary this, and one which
the citizens should at once vigorously
set themselves to correct. If the law
is bad one repeal it; but since it is a
law, in the name of decency, in behalf
of the honor and reputation of the
county, as an example to the rising
generation of men who are to control
the fortunes and shape the destines of
this, the fairest of Maryland's s counties,
let this ulcer of lawlessness be re-
moved Let it not be said that Kent
county is fostering and rearing her
young manhood and fair wOmanhOOd
in an atmosphere tainted with utter
disregard of laws passed by its citizens.
See TO it that until the law is repealed
not a single dispenser of illicit liquors
is left within the borders of Kent. The
possession of government license to
dispense fermented liquors in violation
of local laws should be prima facie evil
dence of guilt and sufficient ground for
legal action against the Offenders

Time to Advertise.

On every side there are evidence of
the Improvement in business. In
dustrles are increasing their help and
working hours. This means a revival
IN trade with our local merchants.
FOR as the factory operatives earn
more money SO they will have more to
spend and the local stores will get it.
1t is the season of the wear. too
when shopping is more extensively
done. The fall l. here and winter is
not far away. People are buying in
anticipation OF the change Of seasons.
Therefore, the merchant who wants to
reap his share of the trade must keep
the people who are doing the huying
posted on what he has to sell and
where he sells it. He must bring his
stock before the people. He must
let them know not only that he has
this or that line Of goods for sale but
he must let them know what advant-
ages or inducements he has to offer
In short be must advertise.
Advertising is an art. Drawing Gus
TONERS to store requires something
more than the mere announcement
| that one has shoes Overcoats or
blankets for sale. The buyer must be
told of the value of these goods, the
prices at which they are sold and the
reason why they should give this
particular advertiser their custom.
And the people must be reached. A
storekeeper wants them all. He
doesn't want to address the few but
the many. Therefore the medium is
all import That one medium which
reaches the greater number is the one
to choose The columns of the news
paper that goes into every home, or
the great majority of them, is the news
paper to select. The TINES" does that
and is ready to meat the wants of the
people.

There is no medicine so often needed
in every home ard so admirably adap-
ted to the purposes for which it is in
tended, as Chamberlain Pain Balm.
Hardly week passes but some mem
her OF the family has need for it, A
toothache or headache may be cured
by it. a touch Of rheumatism or neu-
ralgia quieted. The severe pain of a
burn Or cold promptly relieved and
the sore healed in much less time than
when medicine has been sent for. A
sprain may be promptly treated before
inflammation sets in, which insures a
cure in about one-third of the time
otherwise required. Cuts and bruises
should receive immediate treatment
before the parts become swollen, which
can only be done when Pain Balm is
kept at hand. A sore throat may be
cured before it becomes serious. A
troublesome corn may be removed by
applying it twice day for a week or
two. A lame back may be cured and
several days Of valuable time saved or
pain in the side or chest relieved
without paying doctor bill. Procure
a 50-cent bottle at once and you will
never regret it. For sale by Clifton &
