~ FORTY-FIVE YEARS.
The following taken from the
Nandalia Leader will interest our
readers from "Thc State of Pike
to the Borders of Boone:
We called upon our friend, Mr..
Andrew Broaddus Daniel this week
and were sorry to find him i'll bed,
suffering from II rccurrent effect Of
the grip. Mr.. Daniel has the dis
tinction of being the oldest man in
town, having been born March y,
1913. Col. McPike follows him
closely, his natal day being March
1G, 1914. Mr.. Daniels family, nt
the time of his birth were living at
Fredericksburg, Va, town that
was then busily engaged in making
history for itself. Mr.. Daniels =
father was Il captain in the war of
1872. a furlough brought him
home very happily OH the date Of
his sons birth. 1t was shortly
after this that Capt. Daniel moved
his family to Hopkinsville, Trigg
county, Ky. He was the owner of
Il large number of slaves, four of
whom were master carpenters,
With these under his command,
Capt. Daniel was extensively en-
gagged in building and built many
of the handsOmest homes in Trlgg
county. This was at time when
country homes were spacious man
sions. Meanwhile his son, An
drew Broaddus, had grown to man
hood and was pursuing the trade
of tanner, then most lucrative
occupation.
In 1880 he was married to Miss
Matilda Greenwade, also of Trigg
county. Mrs. Daniel is still liv-
ing, II hale, hearty, Sprightly, old
lady, whom it is hard to believe
has seen 81 cventful years. She is
trimming over with tales of we
oldcn time" and could interest ON,
for hours. Her father dealt in to-
bacro, raising it and shipping il tc
New Orleans in fiat boats. Ful
many years this was the only
method of transportation. The
return trip was always made on
foot. About this period of civil.
Zation steamboats, were SLOWLY
creeping westward, and after ON,
of the long fiat boat journeys the
tobacco trader stayed three months
in New Orleans in order to hav,
the honor of being II passenger Oi
the first steamboat that ever wen
up the Mississippi.
In 1850, upon the advice of hi,
physician, Mr.. Daniel gave up hi
calling and his State and came t.
Missouri. He settled on a farm
three miles from Ccntralia, whcr,
he lived for eleven years. Mr.
Daniel took no part in the grea
civil strife that racked our land
his age eXempting him from duty
In principles, however, he adhered
to the tenetS Of the established
government. Anderson famou
raid, when he and his gang o
bushwhackers killed 200 Fedora
soldiers, occurred near Mr.. Dan
iel's farm. Mrs. Daniels eye
sparkled as she told of the detach
ment of Federal soldiers that swep
across their fields, their bayonet
glistening in the sun as they has
tened in swift pursuit of Anderson
They stole one of our horses
too she said, "but he came bdc
next day, for his rider was killed.

There is Il dissipated rooster in Il
Philadelphia stable, says the Rec
ord, arTenth and Parrish streets
and for several days he has been
on IA protracted spree. A woman
in the neighborhOod has been max
ing grape wine, and every day she
set her jars of grape juice out on
the roof of shed to ferment. The
rooster began to fill up. The wO-
man noticed him several times on
the roof, and remembered after
ward that he seemed to be acting
strangely. He would stand on one
leg, with his eyes shut and his
head hanging to one side. Then
his mood would change and he
would shake all over and croucl
down like cat, ready to make a
spring. At other times he would
strut around and crow frantically
1t was not until he was caught il
the act of sampling the contents
of the jars that the truth of tn,
matter became apparent.

Every age has it's dangers and It's trials,

Every age has it's dangers and its trials,
and the error most frequently com
mitted is that OF contracting our view
too narrowly to the present moment.
History is thing not of days, nor
even of years, but of centuries; and II
we should make the record of our times
the difficulties OF the problems that
lie, before lis. address ourselves to their
solution with courage, and confidence
and hope. vi Y
TO the young men Of Delaware /
may be permitted in this place to make
particular appeal. They are the in
heritors of the glorious traditions of
u commonwealth which has borne in
the history of our common country an
honorable and important part. It's
future is 10 their keeping. The State,
though small in area and 10 ropula-,
tion, is rich in the memories of its
sons In peace and in war, they have
ever been found in the foremost ranks
and if, in the hour of trial, they held
its name upon their lips in proud re-
membrance, it was because they cher
ished for 1t that true affection which
renders sacrifice a pleasure as we'll as a
duty. Guard, then, with jealous care
its fair fame. Resent and oppose, not
only as public wrong, but as per-
sonal injury, every act that may tend
TO degrade it. And see to it that none
shall wear its honors who cannot truly
swear upon its affairs that they have
paid u the due OF an honest and sim
oere devotion,

Dover June 81. The Supreme Court,
yesterday afternoon, reversed the judg.
mept below in the case of the Oxy-
Hydrogen Co. VS.. the Mayor and Ccun-
Gil of Wilmington. The SUPP eme
Courts decision is against the city.
The city sought, by the method pro-
vided BY the city charter. to sell the
gas plant owned by the Oxy. Hydrogen
Co. for, city and school taxes fol the
year 1895, amounting to 1898, and the
original proceedings were taken in the
Superior Court of New Castle county.

the certificate filed by Eugene NJ.
Savers collector, the proper ty was ad,
vertised by Sheriff Finn. Before the
plant was sold, tie plaintiff took the
case to the Supreme Court ON Ger.
tlorari, and it was the argument on the
certiorari that was heard yesterday.
The court held that the certificate
filed by the collector was insufficient in
that 1t did not state that the plaintiff
had refused to pay the taxes, and fur
Their that it was not shown by the GER
tificate that the property belonging 10

FRENCH GREEK FALLS SOLD.
Disposed of to a Syndicate by Davis Knauer
of Warwick, Pa.

Disposed of TO a Syndicate by Davis Knauer
of Warwick, Pa.
Last week Davis Knauer of Warwick.
Pa, was in West Chester accompanied
by two attorneys whom be met in order
to close negotiations for the sale Of the
Falls of French Greek, to Philadel-
phia syndicate. The price paid is
1856, 900.
Mr.. Knauer conferred with the gen
tlemen, Messrs. Camp and Rambc of
Philadelphia, at the Office of his coun-
eel, d. Smith Talbot, and there the
final transfer was made. The syndi-
cate, which was chartered year ago,
purchases the extensive grounds and
the knauer property entire. but will
use for special purposes at present a
tract of eight acres from the dam,
above the hotel, and two acres for q
powerhouse, near the present saw mill.
1t gives S17, 600 in cash and mortgage
for the remainder.
The object OF the new owners is to
convert power from the waterfall into
electricity, and transmit water and cleo
tricity to the towns and villages In that
locality. The electricity will be used
as at the famous plant at Niagara Falls
for supplying heat, light and power to
patrons q distance of several miles
away. Contracts have been secured in
Pottstown and Phmnixville and it is
expected that business can be done in
Norristown also.
There is a fine stream of water to be
used for this purpose, and it will be
conducted from the dam to the power
house by means of an iron Pipe four
and half feet in diameter. During the
next few months many changes will be
made in the neighhorhood. robbing the
landscape Of much of that wild charm
which has been attractive t, visitors.

NURSERY COOKERY.
THE SMALL cHILp's SUMMER DIET.

BY Christine Terhune Herrick.
Continued from last week)
For the benefit of the mothers who
musa either steriiize or Pasteurize the
milk they give their babies. directions
are furnished here of both processes.
STERILIZED MILK.
For this process there come regular
sterflizers. These are like large tin cans,
with a rack inside in which are placed the
jars containing the milk to be sttrilized.
This must be raised to the temperature
of PIP degrees Fahrenheit, and this heat
ing must be done by steam. 1t takes only
short time to bring the milk to the de-
sired state If the fire under the sterilizer
Is kept up. For all sterilizers there come
explicit directions. On the other hand,
while these may be bought at any large
drug shop or ordered from one Of the
firms that manufactures them, home
made sterilizer may be improvised by
any one who will fit a rack that will hold
the bottles into a boiler with closely fit
ting top The lower part of the boiler is
filed with hot water, and this is kept at
SO steady boil that the milk In the bot
ties, although these do not touch the
water, is sufficiently sterilized in about
twenty minutes.
PASTEUR1ZED MILK.
The manner in which milk is Pasteur-
ICED resembles the process of steriliza-
ton, but the temperature is raised to only
l70 degrees instead of to a12. This tenn
perature Is preserved for from ten to
twenty minutes. Pasteurized milk is
often digested, where sterilized milk
would not serve, but 1t does not keep so
long an the latter. After day or two it
spells. 1t tastes more like fresh milk
than that which has been sterilized
Either milk should be heated in the bot
tie in which 1t has been treated, and 1t Is
also best to put the milk through either
process in the bottle in which it is to be
fed to the baby. These should be corked
while their contents are being prepared
and the nipples may be substituted for
the corlss when the child is to be fed
The baby who lives where it is possible
to obtain supply of pure fresh milk
may show eccentrieities of digestion
when TIE wslrm weather comes on. In
that c&se it may be wise to add to the
milk little lime water or a tiny pinch
of bicarbonate of soda. If further modi-
fieation of the milk is to be made 1t should
be done under the doctors orders.
CONTINUED next week.
