THE IDEAL EDITOR

You hear talk of the 'fdeal newspaper.
It is, says an exchange, like the flower
that never withers, the bird that never
alights, the land where sunlight never
fades-it only exists in the imagination
of the sucker whom we are told the
elements consume. Writing from the
standpoint of country editor, If you
have ever been in his shoes you know he
is the repository of the secrets of the
community, none of which he has ever
divulged. He must publish paper
chuck full of local news, whether any
thing happens or not. His judicial mind
must be far superior to the district judge
and give him pointers in instructing the
jury. He must discuss with equal fiuency
upon the silver question and Farmer
Jones' Jersey calf, China painting and
Poland-China pigs, preserved peaches
and the perseverance of saints, foreign
wars and local strikes, justification by
faith and justification by type, the doc
trine of election, the returns, the doings
of the last synod and the details OF prize
fights. The receipt of church socials and
the squabble in the town council must be
equally familiar to the versatile mind
With all this he must wait on the
delinquent subscribers, discount the bill
of the patent medicine fakes, stand off
his wash bill, always go well dressed, pay
his printer on Saturday night, whether
a cent has come in or not; write free
puffs, teach the city administration how
to run the city and be contented with
500 year for printing the proceedings
when it is worth $3.50, never ask for any
honors, but help others to get them;
boom the local state'man who owes
three years subscription-4n short, be
all things to all men, make no mistake in
dates, take the cussings of the community
and never cuss back. This is the ideal
editor, and his paper is daisy. We
never saw one.

DoNTS FOR THE MOTHER

Don't give child candy while very
young. If it does not learn the taste OF
candy, it is no hardship to go without
it.
Don't encourage whining. Break up
the habit by absolutely refusing to give
it anything it whines for.
Don't quarrel with your husband or
contradict him before the child in regard
to a matter of the little ones discipline.
1t lessons the dignity of both in the
child's eyes.
Don't make either a promise or a
threat which you do not keep. So be
wary of making either.
Don't spoil child's belief in goodness
and truth by preaching one thing and
doing the opposite. Childish eyes are
keen and searching, and they do great
deal more thinking than one imagines.
Don't tell your little boy to say to the
visitor that you are out and then ex-
pect him to grow up truthful.
Don't talk about his faults before a
child. If the neighbors are constantly
being told that Eddie is very bad boy, "
Edward is apt to feel he must live up to
his reputation.
Don't be noisy or rough with the chill
dren, even in play. 1t is hard on their
nerves when they are tiny, and it is apt
to make them unpleasantly boisterous
when they grow older.

Attractive Women

All women sensibly desire to be attrac-
tive. Beauty is the stamp of health be-
cause it is the outwork manifestation oi
inner purity. A healthy woman is al
ways attractive, bright and happy. When
every drop of blood in the veins is pure
a beauteous flush is on the cheek. But
when the blood is impure, moroseness,
bad temper and sallow complexion
tells the tale of sickness, all too plainly.
And women to-day know there is nc
beauty without health. Wine of Cardui
crowns women with beauty and attrac'
tiveness by making strong and healthy
those organs which make her woman
Try Wine of Cardui, and in month
your friends will hardly-know you.

AN OLD DELAWAREAN

John Ayles of York street, who is in
the ninety-third year of his age, is un-
questionably the best preserved man for
his age in Burlington, J. If he doesn't
live to round out the century, it will be
because of some extraordinary event.
John halls from Lewes, Delaware. He
calls it by the old-fashioned name Lewes-
town. He was about five years old when
some English man-of-war sailed into
Lewestown roads and fired few shots at
that harmless hamlet. John saw the
flashes of their guns and heard their
report distinctly. This was during the
1912 war. He has talked with number
of men who were Revolutionary veterans.
In fact his father did service in the Con-
tinental army, but his death occurred
when John was about six years old.

MY MARYLAND

The citizens of Denton and the var
ious fraternal orders of Caroline county
expect to hold great celebration in Den
ton on the Fourth of July. Various
committees are at work preparing for the
event.
The branch of the Queen Anne's Rail
road from Queenstown to Centreville is
progressing as rapidly as possible. The
track is laid about half way and if the
weather proves favorable for work the
road will be open for traffic by the goth
instant. When the first train arrives Eu-
reka cornet band of that town has been
engaged to meet it at the station and greet
it with music, after which an excursion
will run to Queenstown.
The Wicomico Nems of Thursday last
says: ''Rev. Mr.. Smith, rector of Church
Hill P. Z. Church, who is guest of Mr..
and Mrs r. McKenney Price, on Walnut
Street, Salisbury, Md, come near losing
his life early Tuesday morning by drown
ing in bath tub. Mr.. Smith was sick
when he reached Salisbury Monday
evening Tuesday morning he went to
the lavatory to take bath, and shortly
after he had gotten into the tub he was
seized with an epileptic fit. His strug-
giles were heard by Mr.. Price, who hur-
ried to the bathroom. Mr. Price found
the minister unconscious, struggling in
the water, and with difficulty rescued
him. Medical aid was summoned, and
after about two hours Mr. Smith regained
consciousness.
It has been ascertained that Mr. James
G. Kirby. owner of Kirby's Landing, in
the Seventh district, has entered suit for
damages through his attorneys in the
United States District Court for $40, 900
against the George w. Todd Co., pro-
prietors of the Unicorn Mills Mr.. Kirby
has employed Albert Constable, Esq, as
one of his counsel. The charge in the
case is that representative of the
George W. Todd Co., maliciously broke
the lock, entered the granary and hauled
away several cases of goods which were
stored in the granary at Kirbys Landing
and upon which they refused to pay the
storage, without Mr.. Kirby's consent and
during his absence from home. It is re-
ported that Mr.. J. Fl. c. Legg will also
be retained by Mr.. Kirby in the case.
Hunted by armed men, who wanted to
lynch him for assaulting Miss Lizzie Cos
sard, a young white woman living in
Franklin county, Joseph Powell (colored)
gave himself up to the officers Monday
to escape the vengeance of his pursuers
He was hurried to Chambersburg and
placed in Jail and a strong guard was
established about the building to pre-
vent him from being taken out. The
negro choked his victim almost into
insensibility, but her screams frightened
him before he could accomplish his pur-
pose. When news of the assault spread
an armed posse started in pursuit of the
negro, who was tracked through fields
and woods for some distance, but he was
not overtaken Sheriff seeler, of this
county, was notified of the assault and
that Powell was heading in this direc-
ton. Officers started out on search for
him. Powell, however, had not gone
very far, and returned to the house and
gave himself up to the officers.
