WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
If Read Before Supper it Will Aid Your
Digestion There is Nothing Put
In 1t to Lull You to Sleep
Doggie Showed Little Gratitude

As the Wayfarer stn'olled through
beautiful Brandywine Springs Park
last Sunday, listening to the merry
shouts of the young folks, and enjoy
ing the sweet strains iron the Italian
harmony producers, under the direc.
tion OF Professor Lambiase, he found
himself near the stables of the park
where his attention was attracted tn q
beautiful brown water spaniel. The
little animal was curled up in a car
riage, from which the horse had been
detached. The little fellows face shone
with intelligence, and the stable men
were petting it.
The Wayfarer was informed that the
dog followed the carriage, which con
tanned young man and woman, from
Hockessin, and probably was thciI
property as he jumped into the car
liage as soon as it was empty. IL had
been on guard for several hours, and
the Wayfarer decided to keep an eye
on it to see how faithfully it would
watch at its post, while other dogs were
frisking about in the grass and enjoy
ing the park in every way.
II was late in the evening when the
young couple came for their team. but
they found the little spaniel guarding
the carriage. Joseph Richardson and
William McCoOl who are interested in
the park, begged for the little dog, but
were refused
The young woman said that the dog
was too nice to part with
In getting out of the maze of teams
the little spaniel lost its bearings. and.
instead of following the team, tumbled
into the lake. 1t could not get out OF
the water so it began to whine and
howl 1t was about midnight when
Mcssrs. McCOol and Richardson heard
the bowling of the distressed dog and
found it. Mr.. McCOOl runs the race
track in the park. so he ran back and
got two of his best halters. and finally
succeed in rescuing the dog by lassu-
ing ii. Almost exhausted and drip
ping wet. the little animal was pulled
to terra-tirma. In his last efforts to
land the dog properly, Mr. McCool
slipped and dropped the end Of The
halters. Doggie thinking, no doubt.
that it was an attempted assault. yeln-
ed and fed, carrying both halters with
him
Bring back my halters, you un-
grateful beast" yelled McCool
You're a disgrace to your race,
said Richardson.
The dog has not been seen in the
park since. and the general supposi-
tion is that Mr.. McCools two new
halters are adorning the necks Ct

DESERT INDIAN WOMEN
AFTER They GROW OLD
L-LE

The attention of the United States
Government has just been called 10 a
barbarous custom that is still prac-
ticed among the Kiowa, Comanche and
Apache Indians, in Oklahoma Terri
tory.
The Indians Of these three tribes.
while living under the management Of
the Indian agent, are comparatively
civilized. and do not go on the war
path, but work for their living at farm
ing. But they have no love in their
hearts for one of their own people af-
ter that person has passed his or her
age of usefulness. An aged squaw, af-
ter she reaches the age OF 80 years, il
sent into the fields and left there to
die. unless some sympathetic white
person comes along and sends the old
woman to the Indian agency, where
she may be taken care of at the expense
of the government.
Travellers in the reservation may hear
the distressing cries of some deserted
woman at most any time they care to
listen.

lumbus b. Rogers and Asahel s. Levy,
died before the tcstator, and he sub
stituted other executors for them. In
no other part Of the will, however. OF
in none of the numerous cOdicils made
10 IT is there any alteration or amend
ment of the residuary clause as given
above.
II will at once be seen that this
residuary clause holds the principal
sum Of the bequest inviolate, only al
lowing the income of it to be used.
But what is more important, il dedi-
Gates this income to the purchase of
pictures, art objects and books for the
museum and for such purposes exclu-
sively. In other words, the Rogers
bequest Of $7,OO0,OOO or SS.OOO.OO to
the Metropolitan Museum cannot be
used for the payment of salaries. for
the employment of additional curatOrs
or for any of the ordinary running ex-
penses.
Opinions will differ as to the wisdom
of the restriction made by Mr.. Rogers.
Generally speaking, 1t is not a good
thing to make restrictions in bequests
OF this kind. No man can wholly for
see the future, and the wise course, as
a rule, in creating an endowment for
a public institution is to- give the trus-
tees of the fund great latitude in the
disposition of Il. But Mr. Rogers did
not want any money spent upon 'ad-
knowing that those
charged with the expenditure of sol
vast a sum as he left often grow waste
ful in using it. He has Of course made
no restriction upon the discretion of
the trustees as to their purchase Of art
objects. All things considered, wei
think that public appreciation of the
merits of the splendid Rogers bequest|
will not be lessened by full readingI
of his will.

Sun Fried Hens [rrs

During the hot weather of last week
Norman c. DOwnes, drug clerk for DR..
II. r. Spruance. demonstrated 10 the
people living on the East Side OF town,
that he is a first-class cook and could
fry an egg without using fire. II the
Wayfarer is informed correctly, Mr.
DOwnes made a wager with an inter
esting young woman in the eastern
part OF Wilmington that he could fry
an egg on the pavement in the sun $
burning rays
The wager was that if the egg cook
ed Miss Blank was to help eat it. but ii
Il was a failure, Mr.. Downes was to buy
the ice cream and pay trolley fare. The
egg cooked in just thirty minutes. Miss
Blank helped to eat it, and Mr.. DOwnes
says that he wishes he had fried a
dozen eggs instead of one.
