Abiding to the attnck of the
Smyrna Times upon Judges Grubb and
Boycc, the Morning News says:
We do not consider the attack upon
Judges Grubb and Boyco, in con
nection with tho performance Of their
new duties as presiding officers Of tho
elections returning board ut George
town, as in either good taste or war
ranted by the facts.
The work donn by tho Judges was in
perfect harmony with the provisions
Of the Consultation and all tho de-
cisions made wore fair to both parties
ut interest. Whatever may have been
tho motive IL withdrawing request
for the recount of the ballots in tho
fifth senatorial district Of SUSSEX
county the fact remains that the Re-
publicans asked permission Of the
court to abandon the contest made in
behalf of DIR. Burton, and the court
granted the request.
AS fact, The Smyrna Times ha:
uttered an untruthfu. change against
two worthy judges. In all fairness, Il
should make retraction and apology
ut tho earliest possible moment,

As to tiood Leadership.

The Morning News attempts to ridi-
Guile the statement made by the Dover
Delawarean that il the editor Of the
latter journal had been the leader OF
the Democratic party in Kent county
during the last campaign, tho party
would not have sustained such crush
ing defeat.
We do not bslievs, however, that the
statement is ut all subject for ridi-
cule. Whether the leadership OF the
Delawarean editor would have saved
the party from defeat is question, but
if he had been leader the others would
not have been, and MS the leadership
in that event would have unquestiona-
bly, been good, the defeat might not
have been SO disastrous.
There is much in good leadership.
Upon this point we are reminded of an
incident that happened during the
term of that most admirable chief mag
istrate of our Stats, Governor John F.
Cochran, whose death occurred Monday
morning. Two men were candidates
for an appointive office. One was
man of tho very best kind; the Other
one Of the very worst, so far as capacity
and fitness for holding public Office
we're concerned. Meeting the governor
in Wilmington, one day, the late Archi
bald Given, referring to these two can
didates for the appointment, said
Governor, I do not want to either
dictate or recommend, as between
these two men, but / will say tina
neither you nor the Democratic part,
can afford to appoint anybody but I
gentleman to public Office y
The Democratic party always carries

one chuckled and said:

HUMAN NATURE LIKES PETS,
This Is Especially True of Human Nature
That Goes Into Camp,

Ahis Is especially True OF human Nature
That Goes Into Camp.
They call them mascots in the Ian
guage of the camp. The word is the
cover for the expression of the SOL
diers' affections. The brawny Mis-
sourian, carrying about in the hollow
of his arm half-grown rabbit and oc-
casionally touching it with caress so
delicate that the shy creature forgets
to shrink, hasn't any thought Of luck
to come from the possession. He has
found something which affords vent
for the sympathetic and emotional of
his nature. You can't take young
American volunteer away from home
and social surroundings and make of
him in week o machine to fight and
kill. 1t is human nature for the rogi
ment to have pets, and the fresher
from home the command the more in
number and extravaganza in character
the pets, by misnomor called mascots.
The Missourians who received from
the hands of little girl in Athens,
Ohio, her rabbit as they came through
to Camp Alger, near Washington, have
preserved it and tanned it until the
bunny hops among the tents and re-
fuses all opportunities to escape. The
self-appointed guardians take it out
in the woods to pasture on the ten
derest grass and it hops back to camp
with loyalty to its possessors which
is wonderful.
AS interesting as the lavish express
sion of the soldiers sentiments tow
ard their pets is the appreciative re-
spouse of the brute creation to the
enforced adoption. There doesn't
seem to be any representative of ami
NAL creation which will not take kind
ly to camp life and to men in uniform
after the first strangeness wears off,
Of course the mascot dog is the head
of the list. There is in canine dispo
sition liking for vagabondase which
answers quickly to the invitation
When the volunteers visit Washing
ton for day off the dogs follow then

of blood the more luxurious the home

In a Mexican Household.

AS all cooking is done with char
coal and ovens are practically I'M
known in private houses, very few
families bake bread. The small hard
crusted loaves of French bread are de-
livered all over the city in great bas-
kets four feet across that are carried
on the heads of carradores.
The arrangement of furniture IS
much more formal than in the United
States. It is very common sight to
see q splendidly furnished parlor with
row of STRAIGHTFORWARD chairs all
alike with their backs against the
wall and as close together as they can
be placed clear around the room.
A good Mexican cook relieves the
mistress of the house of worry and re-
sponsibility in manner that is al
most unknown in the United States.
The cook is given SO much a day and
with this amount she will purchase
each morning all the provisions Of the
day, including even the staples tina
are usually bought in large quantities
in other countries. On dollar day
a cook will provide very good table
for family of three Or four, and &c
enough beans and tortillas and chill
to set the servants table besides

mistresses, because they can drlv

THE REALM OF FASHION.
The Japanese Straw Hats.

The prettiest things in hats of straw
are the Japanese. The most inexpen'
sive ones are of coarse material, per-
fectly round, with no perceptible
crown, but shaped like the top OF q
clothes hamper, and nearly as large.
Others of an olive shade and frmel
weave, with black band of the straw
at the crown, are shaped moro like
hats. There are two varieties, both
with crowns. One shapeis round and
the other is like big poke. With a
shirring of silk Or null on the inside
it is charming. If they are not used
for "headwear" these hats are ex
tremely pretty for workbaskets, an'
can be decorated with indefinite yarl'
atoms.
