KRIS KRINGLE Is COMING.

Kris Kringle is coming, he soon will te
here,
With weather benumbing and Christmas
tide cheer.
Old Santa is coming, get out of the way,
He's furiously driving IL bicycle sleigh.
Oh the bright smiling Christmas faces
Which we meet upon the street,
Oh what gladness and joy embraces
All the boys and girls we meet.
Want and care from their hearts arc
vanished
Joy and gladness have come to stay,
Yule tide smiles have all others banlshed
And proclaim that Ills Christmas day.
Hurrah for Kris Kringlc, he's up to the
times,
He mingles his sleigh bells with bicycle
chimes,
The boys and the girls, heill make happy
to-day
With good things he's got in his bicycle
sleigh.

CHRISTMAS AT THE JAIL
How New Castle COunIy's Malefact0rs arc
Fed on The GreaI Holiday,

On Friday there will be many queer
Christmas feastlngs in Delaware, but one
that will outrank all others will be the eel
ebratiOn in the grim brown stone fortress,
New Castle Jail. The dull stone walls
are terribly thick there, and poor Santa
Claus could not break through If he camo
armed with a sleigh full Of dynamite
bombs. Iron gratings, iron doors, stone
walls, everything iron and stone; small
wonder that the holiday spirit permeating
| the rcst of the world has n hard time
soaking throu the mass of granite and
| metal into the "a hardened souls within.
| Thieves, murderers, forgers, blacklegs,
| rutfians and scoundrels, from almost the
| polished society rogue to the malefactor OF
| the slums, from A to y, of tho criminal
calendar, all huddled together, junbled
into one mass by the drag net sweeping
hither and thither over The county, but
mostly in Wilmington. New Castles
guests are 95 per cent the product of this
city. They are the cream of the villany Sf
tho county SKINNED by the cold hand of
the law. When they get out, some OF them
never will, they will return to this city.
and in few weeks many will be again
behind the iron and stone.
Christmas Is not an empty thing to
them and many are looking forward to it
with the nervous eagerness Of a four year
old child. True, Santa Claus does not

change in the victual routine of the place,
and that Is u blessed gift to the old coz
vict, greater and grander than jeweled
baubles, money or riches He eats things
on Christmas day that he does not eat on
any other of the 365 days in the year.
This may seem small blessing but the
old timer in New Castle appreciates it at
its true worth.
Here is the regular fare of New Castle:
bean soup, hash dry bread, potatoes, oat
meal coffee, water and meats, the latter
less frequently than any of the other
dishes
But on Christmas Day they get chicken
and cranberry sauce with bread and coffee
which is q terrific leap in the epicurean
way.
But there is another treat in store for the
more fortunate prisoners with friends or
relatives who send them Christmas boxes.
These are carefully searched by the prison
authorities before they are handed to the
owners.
There is more feasting for all hands, for
the prisoner who receives q box has
enough of tho milk of kindness still in
him to divide with his less Fortunate
brother
On the whole Santa Claus does grand
work in New Castle on Christmas Day,
and more than one convict will be down
on his cot next Friday night thankful and
mellow with the Christmastide spirit:

A few years ago Dr.. Chandler of Cen
trcville Del, purchased tract of land ad-
joining his property known as the "Nan-
ny Walker" farm. Not long after
the purchase he began to quarry out the
rocks, cut the brars and in other ways
improve it.
The first season he used stable manure
on the soil with good results; then some
lime which increased the yield per acre al
most double, The farm proved a paying
Investment and soon a barn was built.
This season he reached the top notch.
AS a fertilizer he used stable manure and
raw bone, and was surprised at the effect
it had on his corn crop.
Not long since h, eceived an order for
two barrels of corn from gentleman in q
far distant city who paid S3. rs por barrel
for the same, saying that he wished it for
chicken feed. knowing it contained Il largo
per cent. of bone and WAS especially good
for fancy bred chickens; since this time
the doctor has been in receipt of several
inquiries from distant points in regard to
the qualities of his corn. Now, some folks
say farming don't pay but just see the
doctor and get his opinion.
