When Octoberl comes the Delaware
Peninsula begins to have its ideal
weather and to justify Bayard Taylor's
phrase, soft, half Syrian air, says
the New York Sun. In favorable seasons
this time of wlndless calm and mellow
skies runs far into November 1t must
have been somewhere about this time
that the Nanticoke Indians of Psnnsyl-
yania travelled southwark to eat oysters
on the shores of Delaware bay and the
Atlantic, and leave behind them those
great piles Of oyster shells that even yet
yield Indisn relics to the searcher.

MY SWEETHEART.

"Twas quaint line scrawled in spelling
book,
And handed to me with bashful look,
By INV blue eyed sweetheart so fondly true,
In the dear old school days long years ago
"If YOU love me as love you
No knife can cut our love in two
That SANDERS speller," so tattered and
torn.
Has always a halo of romance worn,
And never a poet with honeYed pen
Has written so precious rhyme since then
"If you love me as love you"
Alb, dear, you know did do.
I've kept 1t safely for many a year,
This dog's.eared, shabby old spelling g-book.
dear,
And now, as hold it within my hand.
Again in the school room I seem to stand
Reading once more with rapture new
"f you love me as ! love you"
How some foolish saying from out the past
Like rose branch Is over the pathway cast
And the time of flowers we still remember,
Till winds blow cold in the bleak December.
God grant it always may bs true.
"That you love me as love you.

CHESTER, Pa. Oct. 2.-The passen-

Washington express train on the Pen
sylvania Railroad, due In this city at
1922 this morning, had remarkable
escape from serious injury and perhaps
death. The train struck one of the Du-
pont powder wagons, near Gordon
Heights, killed one Of the horses. seri-
ously and perhaps fatally injured the
driver and scattered one pound cans of
powder In various directions without
an explosion. The wagon was on It's
way to the powder company's wharf
and 1t seems miraculous that the pow
der did not explode, In which event the
train would probably have been wreck
ed. The driver was brought to this
city and placed In the hospital. BE
was unable to give his name and could
not give any information about the
accident,

and other Populist State officers of
Kansas agreed to sell him police pro-
lection In that State and to permit him
tohave the appointment of the police
In certain cities and that they failed to

claims to have contracted with the
Louisiana lottery to have all lotteries
run out of Kansas and to have paid the
attorney general $4,000 to begin the
prosecution of them. The publication
has of course caused great deal of
scandal. It Is said that the Republican

THE NEXT HOUSE.
HOW IT IS FIGURED OUT BY DEMO-
Gratis AND REPUBLICANS.

Both Sides claim q Comfortable Msjo or
ity-The Democrats arc q Little More
Modest In thslr Figures than tho Re
publicans.
The Congressional Campaign Com
mittees of both the Democratic and
Republican parties are beginning to
consider seriously the complexion OF
the next National House of Represen-
tatives. The election IL only a little
over four weeks off, and there Is ma.
tural inclination to survey the field and
determine, If possible, the size OF the
harvest that Is to be gathered IN. very
naturally the spectacles through which
the Democrats and the Republicans
gaze at the Congressional districts do
not produce the same results, but the
difference is not as markeo as one
would suppose. Both sides are conh-
dent of winning. The Democratic es-
innate Is more conservative than the
Republican, and with It's total OF l9O
is dangerously near the danger line.
The Democratic estimate gives three
of the South Carolina members to the
Populists, which Is a mistake. Our be-
lief and hope Is that every district In
this State will be carried by the Demo-
Gratis. The Republicans In their esti-
mate claim 200 members, but we have
no idea that they will get them, II the
Democrats all over the country will lay
aside their factfonal difficulties and pull
together. This Is all that Is needed to
secure grand Democratic victory next
month. The following table gives the
claims of each party, and it will be
worth while comparing these figures
with the returns on the morning after
election:

everything into consideration, and re-
membering everything received here
yesterday, there is little reason to doubt
that If the Messrs. Parsons have sold
the South Carolina and Georgia Road.
that the purchasers are the Louisville
and Nashville and Atlantic Coast Line
systems.
In this connection 1t may be said
that one of the leading railroad men of
the South recently told reporter of
The News and Courier that there was
little reasuL to doubt that the South
Carolina and Georgia Road would
change hands again within a very few
months. He said that be felt confident
that the Louisville and Nash Vile and
the Atlantic Coast Line systems would
build neW line to Augusta II they
could noS control the South Carolina
and Georgia property, and as he consl-
dered it would be rulDous to the old
If the new line was built, he did not
doubt that arrangements would be
mace by which the road would change
hands.
The information which Is given here
has come so straight that there seems
to be 10 reason for doubling 1t. The
authority Is about as good as could be
gotten, unless an official statement
bad bean made either by the Messrs.
Parsons, or by the Louisville and Nash.
