Raymond f. Armstrong, a Philadelphia
Whcclnan, in speaking of his ride from
that city to CoUch's Bridge says:
THE trip Is q good orc, both as TO roads
and scenery. You leave Philadelphia via
Darby and 10 to Chester, road too we'll
known 10 Philadelphia wheeluUn to need
description. Chester is an ugly town to
cross, wing to is roughly cohbled streets
Tho best route through 10, to my know
ledge, is to 90 out seventh Street as lar as
possible, then down to Second Street, and
out Second to the Wilmington Pike
From this pike there Is n beautiful view
OF til" Delaware River all the way ~ VIII
mington.
Just before reaching that city you pass
the DUPONT house, which Is magnificent
place, surrounded by large Lark. This
best way to get through Wilmington is to
enter at the end Of Market Street
by way Of Rivcrviow Park, to which
thCrc is u trolley line from VII
mington. Go down Market Street to Eicv.
cath, to Washington, done Washington to
Third, TO Maryland Avenue and out Mary
land Avenue to the next place of Interest

to StNnton,And thonCe on to Christiana, the
quaint old town, where, according to Wash.

THE MEN WHO BUY NOT.


Why Newsdoalers Sometimes Slip Rubber
Bands Around Their Magazines.
The man who gets up early in the
morning so he can have look at his
neighbours paper before the rightful
owner has chance to take it in from
his doorstep does net stand very high in
the estimation of the newsdealer. This
is because he spoils trade.
There is another man, however, who
is even more cordially detested by the
vender Of periodicals. He is the fellow
who never buys anything, but has the
habit Of dipping into the weekly papers
and magazines. Tho keeper Of news
stand makes tempting display Of his
stock, for he knows that strong pic
ture Or even pretty cover often brings
him stray customer, but he expects
the mere locker on to BIO content with
this much, and he is likely to frown
upon the man who resorts to al kinds
of schemes in order to get peep at the
inside pages.
Tho stands in the ferry houses and
railway stations suffer tho most from
these penuriors cranks. for there is
nothing else TO attract their attention
while they &Ie waiting for u boat OF "A
train. They run through the leaves CT
the latest books and magazines and
have been known to draw the taclis out
Of papers nailed up against the stand SO
that they could see what was on the
other side Of the sheet. But it is not
what they see and read for nothing that
worries the newsdealer. Ho would be
willing to put up with that il they did
not injure his stock. Indeed, lie would
much rather have man taEo up a mag
azine bodily and carefully examine ey
cry page than to have him grab it by
one corner and bend up all the leaves
in surreptitious attempt to SEQ the
pictures. He would also rather have
you ask him to hand you periodical
than to have you shove his stock all out
of line while trying to sec the half of
the page that is hidden by q pile of 9th
er papers.
So great is this nuisance that the
newsdaalors had to adopt schemes for
their own protection. The most success
full, so far as preventing the leaves from
being turned, consists Of placing rub
Der band around the top and bottom of
magazine and using it on the top of
each pile. New York World.

Our drift in the dory had carried 10
considerably to the leeward Of Smutty
Nose, so that In our present position the
force of the sea was much broken. As
we crouched beneath the gunwale Of our
new refuge, rnomentarily expecting to
see the abandoned schooner go down, a
light from Smutty Nose gradually shono
out over the waters.
We saw that fire had been kindled
upon the island. Down at the waters
edge people we're moving about among
the rocks. III little while boat SEEM
ed to leave the shore and drift slowly
toward u.s.
As her cratic movements seemed to
indicate that she had no one aboard. but
was drifting at the will Of the wind, l
attached no special significance to her
appearance, though Iglanced toward her
occasionally. Yet nearer che came, some
times directly toward us.
At times a heave Of the sea would
throw her far to one side; then she
would seem to lipger moment, TO
start off anew in our direction. Half
dazed from exhaustion, I watched her
with tagging interest until she was
CLOSE at hand. Then saw the captain
reach out and grasp her by the sunwale
and hold her fast alongside.
He shouted for US to get into her. No
sooner bad We all obeyed than she start
ed swiftly for the shore. Then I per-
ceived that long warp led from her
to S,nutty NQse and that the people
there were pulling us toward them.
Owing to the direction Of the current
the boat could not be dragged back to
the point from which she started, and
we struck the onter edge Of the wide
reef Of rocks. 1t was nearly low tide
and though the sea did not break npoh
the reef every vays that rolled through
the harrow passage boiled up over 1t in
a swelling flood, submerging the rocks
many feet, to subside again, leaving
them entirely bare.
To run this gantlet was our next
trial. Waiting until SEQ F6tifed, We
rocks and ran u issI II " could until
an incoming wave overlook us. Then
We flung ourselves flat upon the reef,
while the food boiled up over us, clutch
ing the rookweed with both hands and
clinging to resist the terrible undertow
backward.
When the rehux left the reef bare
again, we rose and ran once more. -Four
times the flood passed over us. Then,
breathless, bruised and half dead. I felt
grasp upon my collar, and was drag
ged up ont Of the grip Of the seq, safe
at last. George e. Hosea In Youths

Pencil Crops a Failure

From a financial standpoint the peach
crop this season Is failure. The fruit has
not been good as was expected and the crop
is not SO large. Last season the fruit was
excellent, and The markets even better than
they had been in the past Considerable
money was made by those who had good
crops. This season the price was low on ac-
count of the quality of the fruit and on sew,
eral occasions the market has been glutted.
Last week at some of of the principal
shipping points tue price Of peaches declined
to ten cents basket, while poor fruit could
not be sold at all. Soft peaches sold as low
as one cent a basket and the growers were
glad to get the basket back, us they were
worth more to them than the peaches.
Growers who refused TO sell to the buyers
at the stations and shipped their peaches
to commission men lost money'by the
transaction.
