WILMINGTON CONNECTION CUT
OFF

Word comes from Media that the dar-
ing band of wire thieves which has
been robbing the trolley, telegraph and
telephone companies of wire for weeks
past made another haul Wednesday
night. The loss this time falls on the
Delaware and Atlantic Telephone Com
pany, eight heavy copper wires OF its
lines being cut out between Lansdowne
and Angora, on the Baltimore pike
over a distance Of about two miles
A wire running to Chester was the
only one left intact, connection with
Media, West Chester and Wilmington
and smaller places between having
been cut off all day. This makes the
fifth bold theft by wire thieves in Del.
aware county within three months. The
ease with which the robbers escape de.
lection has grown to be a mystery.

DOG SAVED CRILD'S LIFE

WHEN YOUNG MASTER FELL INTO
CANAL. DOGS CRIES BROUGHT
HELP.
A Chester dispatch says that 4-year-
old Clarence Gyles, of that city, owes
his escape from drowning to the vigor-
GUS barking of his dog. Clarence, with
a number of companions. were watch
ing the men in a canal boat in Chester
creek, unload coal, when he suddenly
fell into the water, dropping between
the boat and the wharf.
The boy fell in such position as not
to be noticed by the workmen. He
went under once, but in coming uI
grasped the side of the boat and held
on with a deathlike grip. The dog sci
up a distressing yell, which attracted
the attention of Edward Cassidy, who
ran to the boys relief.
The lad was hauled out in an ex-
hausted condition and carried home
He is the son OF j. Frank Gyles. z
prominent member of the Young Meng
Republican Club.

fourths of an acre to each head of my
stock. One acre of cassava is equai
to ten acres of corn ON Florida soil.
Cassava is most excellent as a feed
for mich COWS; it makes more milk
than an equal weight of sweet pota-
toes, and will yield SO per cent. more
per acre. 1t is a surer crop, and with
me costs less than half as much to
grow. 1t is equally as good for swine
or poultry. In short, 1 consider that

member of the household to do all in
his power to supply all legitimate
wants of the others, for the more gen
erous the style of living, the more
community at large, besides being
powerful incentive toward making
profit out of every available substance
on the farm. Right here, let me say
there is nothing that adds to or de-
tracts from the self-respect of our
young people more than their style Of
their own taste, guided, imperceptibly
by older heads in the matter of clothes.
If the mothers are not born dressmak-
ers they should hire the best dresses
made, and buy ready-made clothing
for boys and men. Of course, all this
takes money; but brains are most
needed; "where there's a will there's
a way" and it's worth all the effort
to have our boys and girls satisfied
with their country homes. Boys will
take an interest in raising calves, colts,
sheep and crops of the best kinds,
when they are taught by precept and
example that only such are profitable
Girls will gladly share the burdens Of
farm home life with mother, when low
ing sympathy exists between them,
and the whole family are endeavoring
to accomplish united and worthy
ideal.

Almost Seedless Peaches.

Messrs. r. A. Mills and Z. B. JaudOn,
of this city, says the Orlando Senti-
mel, have made a discovery which will
prove of great benefit to the peach i'll
dustry of the country. They have
been experimenting for several years
on the problem of producing seedleSS
peaches and at last think they have
succeeded. Last spring several trees
which had set fruit. but still had a
few blossoms with the forming fruit
barely visible, were operated on by
their process. The fully formed fruit
on these trees yielded pits of the reg
ulation size, while the peaches produce
ed from the late blooms mentioned,
had extremely small pits; some OF
them completely abortive, and the flesh
much more delicious than those with
large pits. Had the test been made
late last fall or early this spring the
result would no doubt have been en-
tirely satisfactory, with no greater
show of seeds than in the pineapple or
banana. Specimens of the pits have
been shown to number Of persons
and exhibited to the Sentinel editor. A
great many fruit trees of different va
rieties have also been subjected to the
process in this vicinity during the sum-
mer which will not produce seedless
fruit until next season. 1t is simply
horticultural emasculation, and is as
easily worked" as grating. The pro-
cess applies to either bearing fruit
trees or grape vines, as we'll as nursery
stock

Make Farm Life Attractive.

Alice e. Wells, writing in Texas
Farm and Ranch, says:
No human faculty was given by
WISE Creator but for a purpose. The
dJtTt1ence between the id al ana real

ought of right to be but the former

ments along any line, but what first
existed as an ideal IN somebody's
bees architecture but an unObsJrueted

to young and old alike. Rest with me
