OVERCOME THROUGH DIPLOMACY.

The young man was bringing to bear
all his limited attainments as cOntOr-
tiOist in his efforts to see around the tall,
wide hat worn by the sweet girl in
front of him.
The young woman whom he was ac-
comparing saw him and pitted him.
Then q knowing smile passed over
her face and she leaned over and whis-
pered loudly enough for the girl with
the big hat to hear:
"What a lovely hat that girl in front
of you has on.
He looked fierce, but said nothing,
and the owner of the hat stared
straight ahead with a pleased express
sion.
"What a pity it is" the young
woman with the knowing look re-
sumed, that she doesn't know it isn't
on straight"
The girl in front made a cOnvulsive
grab and shifted the hat to one side.
Then it didn't feel right, and she
showed it away over on the other side,
only to- hear in the cOmmiserating
stage whisper behind her:
"POOr thing! She'll never get il
straight now"
1t was too much. The girl in front
reached up with resolute hand, undiC
hat, and laid it in her lap, while the
yOungman cast a glance at his com

COLLECTOR OF PORT FIGHT.
An Interesting Contest Now on at vii.
mingtOn.

The contest for the office of Collector
of the Port of Wilmington, which will
be filled by appointment by Grover
Cleveland about the middle of August,
is becoming very interesting and ex-
ceedin9ly bitter. The chief contest
ants are DIR. William II. Cooper, of
Kenton, and ex-Speaker of the House
w. Alexander COmegys, of Middle
town, at present Deputy Collector.
The fact that the appointment will
virtually be determined by the favor
of Senator Gray, makes many persons
curious as to the course the Senator
will take. DIR. Cooper stands close to
him by virtue of personal relations and
family connection, and for this reason
many believe that the doctor is sure to
receive the appointment. COmegys,
| however is close personal friend of
Senator Gray, and was one of his fav-
orite lieutenants in the factional fights
that attended his first two elections to
the Senate. DR.. Cooper is being bit
terly opposed by ex-ChancellOr VOL
colt and his political friends, who com
prise an element in the party that has
always stood by Senator Gray. This
constitutes a powerful opposition to
Cooper and induces a belief i'll many
quarters that he cannot win.

Mayor Jefferis, of Wilmington, has
had notices posted up throughout the
city calling attention to the reckless
riding of bicycles and calling attention
to the fact that all persons violating
the law governing the same will be
prosecuted to the full extent of the
law. Bicyclists should have a care
how they ride through the streets and
not prOpel their wheels at such a rapid
pace that they become dangerous to
pedestrians. They can scorch all they
have mind to when on the country
roads. Another fact wheelmen should
not neglect is to have a lantern on
their wheels after dark. The exercise
is healthy and exhilerating when taken
moderately.

The strength which comes to us from
eating nourishing food is better than stimu-
lation, because it is new strength.
The health which belongs to a strong
body, well nourished by proper food
(properly digested), is the only health that
is lasting.
The difference between Shaker Digestive
Cordial and other medicines is simply
that it helps nature to make strength. 1t
does not profess to cure sickness, except as
that sickness is a result of weakness caused
by food not properly digested.
Shaker Digestive Cordial will relieve the
pangs of indigestion, and make thin, sick,
weak people as well as if their stomachs
had never been out of order
1t is a gentle aid to the digestion of ma
