TT is AGGRAvAT1NG.

There are men; and there are mon.
Some of them will so to bed at night
without caring particularly whether
any door or window in the house Is fas-
tened. When they grow sleepy the
house may harbor several men OF evil
design, but they care nothing about
that SO long as they do not get in the
bed itself and cause a disturbance |
which will drive away Morpheus and |
his magic spell
There are other men who are super |
sensitive about what is in the house. |
Before retiring they want to make
thorough inspection; to assure them
selves that there is no burglar in the
house and that every door and VIM
dow Is securely fastened They do not
stop to think that there is not dwell
ing house door or window in the en-
tire city which could not be nOislessly
opened by n determined house breaker
who carries with him a sectional
Jimmy and other Appliances which
now go to make UP the kit of the pro-
fessional burglar.
The Wayfarer knows a young man
ON the West Side who is imbued with
this fear Of somebody getting in his
house. He Is nice fellow too, and
not at all cOwardly inmost things, but It
would certainly be a relief to him to
find a strong, able-bOdied, life
sized burglar in his house-he has
been looking for one so long, and has
met with so many bitter disappolnt-
ments. If Jimmy Hope or some OF the
boys who have tender sympathies and
a desire to please. will call on the
Wayfarer, he will give them the name
and address OF the young man who has
been anxiously looking and waiting for
them for so many months. Every
might he begins at the air-space, be-
tween the ceiling and the roof, and
works his way laborlously and indus
triOusly down to the cellar door, look
ing under beds, behind bureaus, In
closets and cracks in the wall. but no
draws the line at the cellar He has
too much respect for a burglar to meet
him in such an out-Of-the-wa place
In fact, he holds that no well-bred and
self-respecting burglar would expect
him to meet him in the cellar. There
fore that is neutral ground with moth
ing but the cOal-pile and the wash
tubs to dispute over Il.
In his searches for burglars the
young man is at all times prepared to
greet them with exceeding Warmth.
Tie carries a lamp in one hand and a
small six-shoOter in the other A bur-
glar would have more to fear from the
lamp than from the revolver, especially
If the flying oil should lodge on his
clothing and ignite.
Some good, honest, whole-souled di-
version-loving craftsman has been
missing lots of opportunities to be
made the lion of the hour at a mid
night soiree It is time that something
should be done to break the monotony
of these divers nocturnal lamp-light
searches. When a burglar is expected
and the house is illuminated in his
honor he should not keep the peopl,
waiting. 1t is exceedingly aggravat
ing to these who expect to entertain
him.

They love their worlNmen and care for
their widows and children. They are
so close and conservative regarding
public participation in the transaction
of their affairs that the world does not
know a tthe of the good they do.
have heard that on one occasion q
member Of the firm walked into one OF
the mills with a lighted cigar in his
mouth. The foreman took him by tho
nape of the neck and walked him out
with as little ceremony as though he
had been nothing more than an ordi-
nary visitor, At first the offender was
Indignant, for he did not understand
the situation, but when his attention
was called to the lighted cigar he was
we'll pleased with what had been done.
Whenever there is an explosion out
there and some men are killed there is
always a rush of applicants for their
places This is as strange as it is true.
The DuPonts have made money and
spent money. There is nothing small
or mean about them. They work 50
quietly and unostentatiously when
they set about doing good that few
persons outside of their benefciaries
know that favOrs have been conferred. "

MoRTIFICATION sET IN.

A day or two ago a woman about 80
years old went to a real estate Office on
Market street 10 see about a house. The
person with whom she desired to trans
act her business was not N, but his Of
fee boy was.
Tie telephone bell rang and the boy
went to the instrument. The woman
was desirous of knowing how TO use
a telephone. but her opportunities for
learning the art were limited
From scraps of the conversation
heard, she concluded that the boy was
talking to another Office boy, and he
stopped long enough to verify her con-
clusion
Just tell him that a beautiful young
girl wishes to converse with him. she
said.
"All right, ma'am, replied the Office
boy. "HellOl are you there? All right
Just hold the phone a minute. A beau
tiful young girl is here and she wants
to talk to you"
He handed the trumpet to the woman
and she exchanged a few words with
the boy at the other end OF the line.
Then. the Wayfarer Is told, the con-
nectiOn was broken. The woman and
her youthful cO-conspirator had just
called up exchange and asked anew for
the number, when the door opened and
n lad, his face red with excitement and
his eyes afame with hope, entered un-
tremendously. AS soon as the other
boy saw him he exclaimed, angrily:
you blamed fool Why didn't you
stay over in your Office. We've just
called you up again"
Where's the beautiful young lady
you spoke about?" he began
There she Is" said the indignant
boy, and he pointed TO the woman in
her thirties.
The flush OF excitement became q
blush of modification, and the flame oi
hope was extnguished by the twink
ling eyes OF the woman who had un-
Willingly led him into q most embaras-
sing situation.
He sneaked out. and made his way
back to his own Office Two or three
times a day, now he receives this mes
sage over the wire:
Just hold the phone a minute. A
beautiful young girl wants to speak tC
you"
II 1t isn't stopped someone will gel
hurt, and it won't be the recipient o,
the message

DUPoNTs NOT AFRAID.

Several men were sitting IN a store
discussing the war news. At last the
conversation turned on the ammuni-
tion supply and the large contracts Sc
cured by the DuPOnts.
1T was certainly a lucky thing for
Delaware that the DuPonts were driven
out of France by their political enc
miles," remarked an old man to the
Wayfarer. The action gave US one Of
our largest industries. You can say
this about the DuPOnts. Their busi-
ness is a hazardous one, but they will
never send a man where they will not
90 themselves. That has been demon
strated time and time again, in several
instances to the sorrow Of the family.

RESOLUTIONS or RESPECT.

"a special meeting of the Liberty S. r.
p. Company, No. 9, was held ON Sun
day, March 20, ait which action was
taken on the death of our late fellow
member, Joseph J. Weldin, and the fol-
lowing resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, The intimate relations long
hold by the deceased with the mem
bers of the company render it proper
that we should place upon record our
appreciation of his services as a fire
man and his merit as a man.
Resolved, That the tender TO his af-
fiicted widow and relatives our sincere
coincidence and cur earnest sympathy

company will attend our deceased
members funeral in a body; that the
engine house be hung with the em-
blems Of mourning until after the fii-
neral, and that the apparatus be draped

going resolutions be sent TO the widow
OF the deceased, also published in the
daily papers Of Wilmington, also be en-
tered on the minutes Of the company
