"Whistlng Monday" was celebrated in
the usual manner by the colored folk in

val held in grove near Townsend, where,

good order was maintained.

pointed to the important position of resi-
dent physician at the University Hospital,
has been an Odessa visitor during the week.
His many warm friends here will be de-
lighted to learn of his success. and wish
him all manner of good fortune.
While the past few days have been unus
ually warm. the residents of Odessa have
undoubtedly been more comfortable than
those of any of the surrounding towns.
This is owing to the fact that the town is
so situated that it receives the full benefit
of whatever breeze may be stirring. Those
looking for a pleasant summer home could
not do better than give Odessa trial.
Miss Virginia Lord met with a painful
though not serious accident Friday
in Philadelphia. In descending from
street car, she stepped on a long splinter
and it was so firmly wedeed in, that much
difficulty was encountered i'll trying to ex-
tricate it. She was taken to a hospital
where the wound was attended to, and
though still very painful she was enabled
to be at her place of business on the fol-
lowing day.

Which Side and WHY.

A lady visiting Middletown noticed for
the first time the custom which is in vogue
here and which appears to be growing in
favor among those who drive for pleasure,
namely the inclination that the gentlemen
have to occupy the left side of the buggy.
Being of an investigating turn of mind she
has tried to find a reason for it. 1t has
been suggested that the ladies very natur-
ally lean towards the right and for comfort
this hot weather the gentlemen manipula-
tors of the ribbons reserve the left side for
themselves, but the suggestion was not
accepted as the true one.
The lady visitor has appealed to some OF
her fair acquaintance for solution of the,
to her, strange custom, but the pretty
maidens with twinkle in their languish-
ing eyes, a suggestion of a blush upon
their fair cheeks and an I-can't-tell ex-
preston around the corners of their
mouths, and a suggestive do it-again,
shrug of the pretty shoulders, merely say,
"accept an invitation to drive and find out
for yourself"
The visitor had an invitation to drive
and was ell ated at the idea of discovering
for herself the cause of so strange a prac-
tice Like an enthusiastic explorer she
was on the border land of anticipated de-
lights and thought Of little else between the
engagement for a drive and the hour for
the appointment. The hour came. how
delightful; the buggy came. how nice: the
man was there, how lovely, but-Oh the
goose of man, to put her on the left side
of the buggy the same as her father had
placed her mother, and her grandfather
her grandmother. How disappointing to
an investigating turn of mind. One of the
knowing girls says it will be different when
he gets little better acquainted, or maybe
some of the other boys will aid in the ex-
PLANTATION. The lady visitor is disconsolate,
however. and says it is always her luck,
and she really looks uahappy as the smil-
ing, jolly girl drives by sitting next to that
strong, right arm.

CHILDRENs DAY.

Bethesda NJ. E. Sunday School observed
Children's Day last Sunday, with one of
the most pleasing exercises ever vet rem
dered. The weather on this occasion. as
usual, wasat torrid heat, but that did not
lessen theattractions of the program.
The morning service was given by the
infant school and consisted of songs and
recitations by the wee ones, and though
their lisping words were but family heard
by the audience, the manner, style and
beautiful apparel of the youthful perform
ers were by no means lost The most
pleasing recirations were given by little
Warren Elliott and May Kumple, while
Grace Parvis and Janet Schreitz delighted
their many hearers with Bob O. Link, "
sung as Duet.
Rev. 1. L. Wood made very brief, ap-
propriate address which was full of sug-
gestions for those who are anointed to

was of very entertaining and instruc-
"The Golden Gate" prepared by the Board
of Education for Children's Day. Miss
Susie Parker gave the opening address, ex-
planning the origin and object of the SER

was enjoyed because of her natural, easy
manner and her distinct tone of voice.
iss Julia Stats, very charming and
talented young lady, represented the Guard

Pilgrims in quest of Duty, Wisdom. Truth
Service, Culture and Life, were represented
by Harry Howell, Dora Culbertson, John
Parvis, Sallie Jolls Harry Johnson and
Hattie Barnard, all of whom rendered
their parts we'll. An especially pleasing
feature was the passing of the Pilgrims
through the open gateway, typical of life's
Golden Gate.
The decorations were beautiful, repre-
senting in pretty and unique design the
thought brought out in the program.
Through the open gate was beautiful
vista of green made up of majestic palms,
graceful ferns, and blooming plants, over
which fountain played during the exer-
cises. The design was well executed, and
the decorating committee is deserving of
much commendation.
The chorus singing by the school was
spirited. the orchestra music fine, and

Clerk of the Peace" said Mr.. Jefferson B.
Foard when some friends suggested that
the office having been held here for
fifteen years would work against his ap-
pointment. But it didn't. Mr.. Foard re-

best known business men of Middletown
and the appointment is acknowledged by
all to be good one. The general verdict is
among Republicans as well as Democrats,
and especially among the business men
who have known him best, that Mr.. Foard
will make an excellent officer. No man
could wish for more gratifying commenda-
ton than comes to Mr. Foard from his
neighbors and fellow townsmen. He was
born in Cecil county about 4S years ago and
came to Delaware in 1868 and to Middle
town in 1871 where he has been in business
Democrat in Maryland politics for years
and his maternal uncle, Samuel Jefferson,
was defeated by William Cannon for gov
ernor in 1862. Mr.. Foard enjoys politics,
though he has never held any Office, save
serving his party on committees, and never
was an applicant for office before. He sis
a Democrat who never mixes business with
politics" but takes his Democracy straight.
The TRANSCRIPTS congratulations are
cordial and sincere. Mr.. Foard will con-
tinue his business here without change and
he will make Middletown his home as
