WHAT THEY READ.
Some Observations About the Lack
of Proper Supervision.

That there are in the Tramp's estima-
ton problems in life other than those
pertaining to the betterment of oui
streets, the improvement of lights, the
prevention of cruelty to animals and
faulty sewerage, must be n pleasant sur
prise to the public, not because OF any cs'
pecially intelligent treatment of these
problems, but ON account Of the change
which must be welcome, however much
for the worse it may be. A very impor-
tant and very knotty question is that OF
the literature that finds it's way into the
hands and minds of young people and we
may say old people also. We have heard
this preached about and discussed in put
lie and in private until many of US have
grown too accustomed to it to give it at
tention. Yet when we think that rur
own future, the future of our nation, our
happiness and our usefulness must de-
pend upon the correctness of the ideas
with which we go forth to do battle with
the world we cannot but shudder At the
lack of any supervision whatever over
what is probably the most potent influ.
ence of nil upon them, whether for good
or for evil. How many do we see around
us every day going through life with dis.
torted opinions. or perhaps falling ex-
hausted by the waysidc. How many, es-
pecially young people,do we see beginning
life with wrong ideas of mans relations
to man, n tie ndency to coun:enancc evil or
to laugh where parents Of II few years
back would have wept, just because of
the poisonous effect of paper backs or
cheap newspapers and trashy periodicals
wherein the ways that are dark and full
of pitfalls are made to glitter under the
misleading light shed by those who value
the end and not the means, or who iii
other words must have II living at any
cost. y young girl of about thirteen or
fourteen was heard inquiring of an older
friend Il day or two ago:
"Have YOU read 'Thelma?' ~

"Have You read GA Florida Enchant
ment:''
''No."
"lIave you read any of Bertha Clay's
works.'
"No; have not.''
Then in wondcr--"Wcil, what have
you read!"
Isn't this rather promiscuous? Isn't
| the mixture Of Bertha Clay, "a Florida
| Enchantment'' and "Thelma" calculated
to disarrange the digestive organs of most
mature minds to sa, nothing of a girl OF
| thirteen? There are responsibilities that
must he taken, knowledge that must
sooner or later he acquired, education
that must he gained whether we will OF

GOLD COINS DUG UP.
Colored Mans Find Near Wilmington
Total Sum Discovered is About ST 900.

Colored Mans Find Near Wilmington
Total Sum Discovered is About 81 900.
Wilmington, Del, June 29.-The find
ing of considerable quantity of gold
coin on the old Potter farm, about three
miles from this city, has caused consider
able excitement among the residents of
McKeets Hill.
A colored man was at work in mea.
dow on the farm when his shovel turned
up piece of yellow metal. which upon
examination, proved to he $50 gold
piece. Although excited the man kept
OH digging until he had unearthed sew
eral more golden coins.
D'hen John Banks and George Clymer
seeing his antics, thought he had gone
stark mad and went over to the field
where he was digging. They also were
amazed at the discovery of gold, and the
three men were rewarded by finding about
a thousand dollars in gold.
nhe money was chiefly in dcnomina.
tions of So and $40 and gave evidence of
excellent preservation. The fact that the
coins bore dates ranging from 1880 to
1850 led some to believe that the farm
laborer had discovered one of the places
where John Hare, the rOted highwayman
and robber, secreted his ill-gotten gains
years ago. Hare for many years was the
terror of the ncighborhood 1t was IA fire.
Quent occurrence for him to hold up ncn
on the reads leading to and from Will
mngton and relieve them of their money
