NOT "a CAI1EIWlAllK JUDGE.
There is no man in the state for
whom the Wayfarer entertains a
higher regard than Judge GruIbb,
senior associate justice of the state
courts. There is no man within the
borders Of Delaware who has a higher
regard for the dignity OF his Judicial
position than the level-headed little
man who has for so many years been
conspicuously before the public and al
ways in a most enviable light. In fact,
the Wayfarer believes that the Judge
is a little too tender on the point Of
judicial dignity, but that is much more
commendable than to be lax in that
respect.
This morning the Wayfarer saw him
start to enter the Young Mems Chris
tlan Association building, on Market
street near Tenth, and was wondering
what impelled him to make such visit
when he saw him come to sudden
halt. look inquiringly at his surround
ings. and then turn on his heel and
walk down the street two or three
doors to the entrance to the law office
of City Solicitor Henry G. Conrad.
This incident recalled to mind an
amusing and embarrassing situation In
which the judge found himself at Cape
May this Summer. lie was visiting a
family there at the time OF the hold
ing OF the big negro cake-walk which
excited so much comment and atten-
ton at the queen of the coast. Nils
friends prevailed upon him to 80 with
them to that cake-walk, which was tc
be conducted on a magnificent scale
Te wanted to go, and yet he was not
sure it would comport with the dig
nifty OF his office. Whatever scruples
he had were overcome and he went
Then his great source of anxiety was
that the Delaware newspapers would
get hold OF the fact and publish It
probably not knowing that expression
of such feeling was the surest way
OF obtaining attention from the devo
tees Of the art preservative of AL arts
TO make matters worse,a short tint
after he and his party had reached th'
place where the cake-walk was to b'
held strapping big negro, decked on
in such holiday attire as only the ne
gro mind can conceive, walked up t
him and said:
aPlease. sab; CANT put yo' nam

It is unnecessary to state that tn
judge promptly declined, and that nj
anxiety regarding the publication o
the story increased correspondingly a
the plot thicl0ened.

II Was Picked Too Soon and viii Al
ways Prove Puckery nnd Sour,
When you are purchasing bananas
never purchase the long thin ones un-
less you want fruit which win puclker
your mouth. No matter how well rip
ened these thin bananas may appear
to be- they will always be found both
sour and acrld. This is because the
bunch which contained them was
picked too soon. The banana grows
fastest at first In length When 1t has
rached its full development In that di.
rection, it suddenly begins to swell and
in a few days will double its girth. 1t
is at the end of this time that It be-
gins to rlpen naturally, and the effort
of the banana importer is to have the
fruit gathered Mt the last possible mo-
ment, and yet before the ripening has
progressed even enough to tinge tho
bright green of the fruit with yellow.
A difference Of twenty-four hours on
the trees at this time will make a DIFF.
ference in the weight Of the fruit OF
perhaps % per cent and ali the diff
ference In its final flavor between
puckery sour and the sweetness and
smoothness which are characteristic OF
the ripe fruit. To get the bananas to
our market in good condition requires
fast steamers, which must be provided
with ventilation snd other means Of
keeping the fruit from ripening too fast
in the hold. Much Of the finest fruit
does ripen in the few days Of passage
and this is sold to hucksters for street
sale-New York Sun.

SPANISH WAR VICTIMS.



The Chicago Tribune prints statistics
showing the number of soldiers who have
been killed in battle and have died of dis
eases in camps during the war with Spain.
The Tribune says: while $50 officers
and men have been killed in battle or died
of wounds received, there have died of
disease in camps between 200 and 1000
volunteers and regulars. The Tribune
has secured the names of 1 ,284 who died
in camp, on transports or at home after
contracting the dread malady at one of
the camps. There is no doubt about the
1924 whose names have been secured.
Neither is there much doubt that there
are hundreds dead whose names could
not be secured on account of lack of rec
ords and the inability or unwillingness of
army officers to furnish lists of the dead"

FOR THE REGULAR ARMY.
Recruiting Stations Where Volunteers
Will Re Mustered ONT

The War Department has decided to es-
tablish a recruiting station for the regu-
lar army at every camp where volunteer
regiments are to be mustered out. This
action will be taken with a view to re-
cruiting the regulars up to the maximum
strength allowed by law and TO give the
volunteers who may wish to continue in
the service the preference in recruiting.
1t is estimated by the War Department
authorities that about 1000 or 5000 men
win be required to fill up the regular regi-
ments, that number of vacancies being
likely to exist in the near future on ac-
count of deaths and disabilities and the
withdrawal of men under the privilege
allowing recent regular recruits to lenvr
the service at the end of the war.
