A Story That Was Not Told.

An accomplished interviewer went to
get the story Of an old hermit who lives
on little lake in the upper part of the
state where only few clearings break
the monOtony Of forest. A delicate an
prOach was made to the main subject
and then the six fOoter, with long white
beard and hair, was asked if he had a
family
Certainly" came the response.
"I've tried to play my proper part in
the world just like any other man who
has an idea that he was put here for
something"
Where are your fOlks?'
Back east, where l left them. Ny
wife and five children have a fine home
on big farm. To be accurate, it's one
of the finest III the state. "
''Do they ever come to see you?"

weeks ago. Brought their bedding with

AMERICAN TOOLS ABROAD.
Purchasers Found For Them NOWADAYS
Throughout the World.

Throughout the World.
American tools are sold all over the
world. The New York representative of
an American tool manufacturing estab-
Ilshment when asked where American
tools were sent ran over the export or
ders received that day. They included
orders from Hungary, Austria. Ger
many, France, England, South Africa
and South America. There were alto
gether about 20 ORDERS and from some
OF the countries named there were two
or three orders. The export orders of
the previous day included orders from
Russia, Australia and New Zealand
and these were not unusual orders. but
such as are constantly received. In the
shipping room at that moment stood
cases marked for Java, for Ecuador and
for Australia.
Many Of these orders are small. In
some cases there were orders fora single
tool, or for two or three; for some orders
OF half dozen or two or three dozen to
supply orders or to keep lines filed
These small orders are mostly from Eu-
ropean countries, with which commu-
nlcatlon Is nowadays quick and conven-
lent European merchants order these
things just about as merchants in other
cities i'll this country would 1t costs no
more to send to London than it does to
Chicago, and it is as easy to send to
Berlin as it is to Paterson.
The characteristics that commend
these American tools to their foreign
purchasers are the same that mark
American machines and implements
generally - lighmess fine finish and
perfect adaptability to their several
uses. The exports of American tools to
all parts Of the world are steadily in
creasing. New York Sun.

To Enter Delaware College.

Students seeking to enter Delaware
College will thenceforth be required to
have some acquaintance with American
literature. The teachers of the var
ious schools in the State will do well
to make a note of this, and shape their
course accordingly. In order to aid
them to meet this requirement we shall
print at the instance of the faculty, vari-
GUS articles pointing out the best method
of preparing candidates for admission
to the college. 1t is not intended that
they shall be a substitute for matter in
the text book now used, but that the in.
structiOn may be shaped toward aiding
to reach the end in view. The fac
ulty of the college deserve credit for
their efforts to elevate the educational
standard so that students may find the
instructions needed in the various
learned professions without going to
college in other states. Delaware Col
lege should be made equal to those in
any other location and become as pop
ular as Yale or Harvard

1t is the sea which ennobles every

there was but the ancient fOreshore,
Govered with prickly tamarisks and
mauve colored heath, with yellow sand
conspicuous here and there. At the linn
it Of the foreshore the rugged border
line cut clear into a deep and somber
blue. 1t is she-blue as any grape ON
this cluster which hangs in the cooling
breeze The azure deepens, filling up a
good half Of the range of sight; the
white sail of a fishing smack floats
alone, like hollow shell; the eternal
monotone Of ocean is borne upon the
ear. Draw near and see the leaping sill
yer foam.
Above this intense blue the sky is trans
parently, superbly pale, and the stars
are hurrying to light their lamps. There
is not a living soul. nor plant, nor
any sign of the hand of man. There
might be nereids and fauns dancing
on the strand, as in the days when the
world was young.-H. A. Taine in

The abundance of meteors which
astronomers deemed possible this year,
at about November 13 and IA, does not
appear to have been observed anywhere
in Europe or America, although the
weather was unfavorable. Thefailure,
however, affords no reason for suppos-
ing that the great displays of 1899 and
1900, to which this would have been
merely a preliminary, will not occur on

THE FAIR WILL CASE.
Sensational Developments PRONE
Used at Trial Next February.
New York Experts Prepared to Declare
Deeds and Wills .Forgeries-Noto-
rious Forger Identified with
the Case.

The San Francisco Examiner says
that startling developments may be ex-
pected when the celebrated Fair will
case comes to trial in February next.
Ever since Mrs. Craven produced the
deeds to 100000 worth of Fairs prop
erty, the attorneys for Charles L. Fair
have had detectives at work ferreting
out matters that will be used to contro-
vert the claim that the deeds are genu-
Inc. The two New York experts on pen
manship, it is understood, are prepared
to pronounce the deeds forgeries as
we'll as the pencil will. One matter
which will be somewhat astonishing
when it develops, is regarding the
name of the grantee in the deeds. I'm
der the powerful glasses which the ex-
perts have brought to bear upon the
documents, the faint outlines of the
name Matte are visible beneath the
name Nettie. Matte is the diminutive
for Margaret, the name of Mrs. Craven's
daughter. 1t is claimed that the deeds
were originally made out to Matte
Craven and then changed so that Nettie
K. Craven now appears as the grantee"
The paper also states that Mrs. GRAY
en- has been on friendly terms with
George Mcdonnell, member of the no.
torious Bidwell gang of forgers, who
once gave series of stereopticon views
in her school house. Mcdonnell has
been located by Capt. Lees of the San
Francisco police department. and may
probably be called as a witness.

DOG FINDS STOLEN PROPERTY

Ing Watch.

Shows Its Master Pocketbook Contain
Ing Watch.
James HuXtable, the tailor at Peoria,
ILL.,, has dog which would make an eff
fective ally of the police. Huxtable
was working around his barn, which
is situated opposite the home of the
Merrimans, from which two burglars
were scared away the night before by
Miss Merriman, teacher at the Lin
coin school. The dog, which is of the
spaniel persuasion, was shifting around
tuft of grass and whining as if it was
anxious to communicate discovery.
Huxtable went to the grass and saw an
old pocketbook lying there, but did not
think it was worth picking up
lie went back to the barn, but the dog
continued running back and forth, and,
at last, to relieve it's mind, HuXtable
went and picked up the purse. On
opening it he was surprised to find a
gold watch inside and also one of John
Gorman's business cards, and that de-
termined the ownership of the property.
The watch was turned over to the own
er. 1t is to be inferred that the men
who attempted to enter the Merriman
house were the same fellows who robbed
Germans house on the previous night,
and still had Germans watch in their
possession when pursued on the second
night after Miss Nerriman had made
her outcry. Fearing capture they had
thrown the watch away for the dog to
discover next morning, lest it should

pretty head had to come, too. There
was too much of that fine, shining, SHIN
mering tress to let go. Burns was al
ready creaking out into the dark pas
sage. Miss Walton was absorbed in her
mothers face. Miss Katherine's round
ed cheek had flushed as red as the in
valid's was white, and both her tiny
hands were madly Juggling and pulling
at the offending tendrils; but who could
work to advantage with the back or side
of ones head practically clampcd to the
work bench? Miss katherine could not
tear herself loose except at the risk of
of scalp, for the strap would not yield,
and its wearcr could not help so long
os her OWN hands were Juggling. There
was every likelihood, therefore, that the
tableau on which Nine. Walton's open
ing eyes should gaze would he about
the very last she would care to see-the
bonnie head of her precious child re-
posing, to all appearance, on shoulder
in Yankee blue-when Lambert, alive
to the desperate nature of the situation,

"But they must have been drinking
