Kate Douglas Wiggin will have a
short serial in the May, June and July
numbers Of Scribner's entitled "The
Diary of a Goose Girl" This is one
OF Mrs. Virgins most humorous con-
ceits. and rarrates the adventures of a
charming American girl while in hid
ing from a persistent lover. The scene
of it is in an English county, and Shep-
person the English artist, will illustrate
it. The author of THE Workers." Mr.
Wyckoff, will tell in the May Scrib-
ner's of a journey taken across Iowa
during the harvest season when work
was plenty and laborers were few. The
life depicted has a great deal OF tine
charm of George Borrow. General
DeWet, the most elusive and romantic
OF the BOer generals, is described in
the May Scribner's by Thomas f. Mil
lard as he saw him intimately in tn,
field. It is a striking paper on an
heroic character.

Attorney-General Ward has no desire
to cripple the county OF to bling dis
comfort TO any Of its officials or credit
ors. His sole intent is to insert the
inquisitorial probe and TO ascertain
whether or net there is any ground for
the various allegations CT fraud in con-
nection with the transactions OF the
Levy Court during the last few years.
To step the payment OF warrants, the
legality OF which is not questioned,
would work hardship upon many per-
sons. some Of whom are laboring men
sadly in need Of the money they have
earned. We are glad that Mr.. Ward
disavows any intention of stopping
ouch payments.

THE LITERARY WORLD

Pearson's Magazine for May, price
ten cents, makes a bulky and varied
volume. The most important article
IS The Story of South Carolina, -
editel by 4. Means Davis, professor OF
history at South Carolina College. 1t
is a strong. dramatic and clean-cuC his
tory of the State, strengthened by
nearly fifty illustrations. This forms
the fourth chapter of The Story OF
the States" series, which commenced
in the February issue. An article on
ArchaDgel, the capital of MOI thern
Russia, is also likely to attract atten-
tion. This city, which is buried be-
meath a mantle of snow for the greater
part Of the year is about to become
the great Western port of Russias
now trade Some lovely illustrations
of the city are reproduced. Still
another remarkable article is the first
authoritative account OF the new sys-
tenn Of signalling under the sea, in
vented by Arthur j. Mundy and the
late Professor Elisha Gray. 1t has
been proved that by this system a YES
sci can be warned Of her approach to
the coast when At least twelve miles
of. and the tremendous value of the
device to humanity. to commerce and
to science has led to its being taken
up by the United States Government.
Other notable features are articles on
Trick Driving With an Automobile"
Scientific Kite Flying" two natural
history articles, finely illustrated;
seven short stories. home notes--deal-
ing with fashions and other matters
more particularly interesting to women
seven short stories, including one
for children by Seumas MacManus, and

It is not surprising that Governor
HUM should reappoint DR.. E. w.
Cooper, OF Kent county, to membership
in the State Beard of Health, even
though he is Democrat OF prominence.
In the first place the governor and
che doctor have been warm personal
friends for many years; and in the sec
1nd place, the doctor has been such an
active ana valuable member of the
state Board that there was no disposi-
ton ON the part OF anyone TO draw the
party line against him. An additional
evidence OF his popularity is found in
lhe fact that his reappointment has
been followed by his reelection to the
responsible position Of president OF the
body.

Here is another case Of rank injustice
10 the taxpayers growing out OF the
refusal Of the Legislature TO pass the bill
dividing larceny into two grades
granl and petit-and providing for the
immediate trial and acQuittal or con-
viction Of minor Offenders. A 16-year-
old boy was arraigned in the Munich
pal Court. charged with stealing two
bottles of milk. worth about Is cents.
There was nothing LEFT for the judg,
TO do but TO hold him for the May term
OF the Court Of General Sessions. Un-
less he is bailed out he will spend q
month In New Castle Jail, and the pee
pie will pay well for his keep. We
hope the Legislature at its next session
will act affirmatively en- the PROPOSE
tion which It voted down a few weeks

NEWSPAPER OPINION
An Old Contention


From Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
While there may be some exaggera-
tion IN the rumOrs anOat in Washing
ton as to the strain in the relations be-
tween General Milesa and Secretary Root,
II is quite certain that the pathway OF
the former Is not strewn with roses at
the present moment In the selection
OF Colonel Wallace +. Randolph as
chief Of artillery under the Army Re
organization Act, General Miles wishes
were ignored. II not wantonly ilouted,
and in the prcalulgatiOn of the order
defining the duties and powers of the
new official the nominal commander
of the army was treated with the scant-
est courtesy imaginable. me iaN
specifically describes the chief Of ar
tillery as member of the staff Of the
general commanding the army, hut the
order promulgated by the secretary oi
war virtually makes this parsonage a
subordinate of the adiutant-general4
As usual, General Corbin comes out
on top" and it now remains to be seen
what General Miles Is going to do
about Il. The contention between the
general commanding the army and
the carpet soldiers of the War Depart
ment Is an old onc-almcst as old as
the army itself. When the late General
Sherman was at the head of the coun'
try's lighting force. he was treated ir
the same cavalier fashion as Genera
Miles, and the only thing he could
think CT by way Of vindicatlng his dig
nifty and authority was to remove th'
headquarters OF the army from Wash
ingiop 80 ST. Louis. This he did. bu
Il did net materially improve his posi-
tion. and General Miles will doubtless
find himself equally helpless.

Railroad engineering has attained a
high point OF efficiency when a steel
draw weighing nearly two hundred
tons can be put in place across the
channel OF a stream within the brief
period OF five minutes. Such a feat was
accomplished at the Delaware and
Chesapeake canal, near Kirkwood, a
few days ago in the presence Of many
railroad men and others interested in
clever work Of that kind. The Della
ware Railroad Company has done a
big and lasting piece OF work at that
place and this five-minute record on a
heavy draw was the eliminating point
OF many months OF arduous and expen-
slve labor in the interest OF public
safety and convenience.

II is in the rural school districts that
the best opportunity will be afforded
for school children to carry out the
true spirit of Governor Hunn's procla-
nation designating April 26 as Arbor
Day throughout the State. In the large
cities and towns. where there are so
many school houses without grounds
around them in which trees and plants
may be set out, the days observance
must be carried beyond the school
property or else be devoid OF prastical
results. But wherever there is an op-
portunity to plant a tree or a flower,
the teachers ought to see that their
pupils grasp it, as a school, a class, or
in their individual capacity.

HYDE PARK REJOICING.
Happy That Supreme Court Holds Liz
 uor Law Still Effective.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 Arthur Burrage Farwell, secretary of the Hyde Park Protective Associa- tion, was the recipient yesteray of hun dreds of congratulations on the victory won by the association as seen in Wednesdays Supreme Court decision, which declared that all the liquor laws and ordinances in force in Hyde Park at the time of the annexation to Chi cago are still effective, and will stand in force until repealed by the district.
 The doctrine is a distinct relief to us," said Mir. Farwell. We have fought hard fight, and although we expected the Supreme Court to take this stand. we feel immensely pleased at the result. This is the fourth de- cision by the Illinois Supreme Court in regard to the Hyde Park ordinance This last decision means that there will be no more blind pigs in Hyde Park, and no license in the local-option districts will be permitted unless the licenses comply with the law. During the past year there have been fifty two persons prosecuted by the asso- citation. Of these thirty-five have pleaded guilty, six are refugees from justice, and three have not yet been tried. In one case the jury disagreed. The association will still keep on work ing. We will relax none of our watch fitness. I nrmly believe we will get the support of the police now. Chief O'Neill, think, intends to do his duty in the matter of suppressing the evil of blind pigs"

the faint aroma borne on the gentle breeze, and the low murmurs of the brook, lend to this spot a wired and es- thetic charm not to be found in gayer portions of the garden.
 On the right is a lattice summer house over which the Seven Sister, roses blend their various shades and colors in rain- bow loveliness. In the background Is a tangle bed in which such old fashioned flowers as the iris. lark-spur, hoily-hock, and morning glory, flourish in ample pro- fusion.
 The left side Is decidely the most fas- cinating spot within its Hints. Indeed it appears that Mother Nature exerted her self to make this cozy corner.
 From early spring till late autumn there is a constant change taking place within this garden, that reminds one of an i'm mense kaleidoscope exhibiting its infinite variety of colors.
 This is a retreat where many a tired mother has rested where many a happy child has romped. where many young lovers have courted. and where many a bride has gathered her bridal flowers.

JAPANESE sHIPYARDS.
One in Tokio Which Covers Nearly
 Sixty Acres of Ground.

From the Manufacturer.
 The determination of Japan to become fin every sense a modern nation is in no line of development made more plain than in the matter of shipyards. The Tokio shipyard. covering fully sixty including pneumatic riveters and six steamers of 1S000o tons are on the stocks, two of them for the Nippon Yusen Kal- sha. The fact that the works are equipped with electricity Is a further indication of the progressive spirit now ruling.
 The ship building yard at Nagasaki is also going ahead, but special interest at taches to the new government steel works. Some 5000.OO0 yens have already been spent. but 100000 yens have been voted. The works are on the eastern shores of Kiushiu, the most southern of the large islands forming the empire, and are, therefore contiguous to China. The establishment, which covers 200 acres. is close by the coal fields, con- nected with the railway, and a seaport having over twenty feet of water will be convenient for the Northern islands and also to China. which ultimately must become a large customer. The works are thoroughly equipped. In addition to blast furnaces there are coke ovens. and in the steel department open hearth Bessemer furnaces, with a full set of rolling mills for roughing. three bar mills. as well as rail. sheet and plate rolls. There are steel and iron testing and other departments. The works will soon be put in operation,

BLOOD AND IRON

You could not live an hour without iron in your blood.
 You could not get the benefit of one breath of air without this same iron. The blood runs the circuit of the body every three minutes, and when it reaches the lungs each atom of iron takes two atoms of oxygen back with it to keep the fires of life going. This oxygen destroys waste matter and helps to restore your wasted tissues.
 If your blood lacks iron you lack that much of life: you fail that much to keen up the needed repair of your bodies-that is, you get run down and sick. This ac- counts for the life giving properties of Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic It supplies iron. and to do that it is to restore the fuli body building power to the blood. This iron has a peculiar life-Quickening func- ton; vitality goes down whenever any proportion of the iron is lacking. Yigor and strength returns just as surely when this element Is restored.
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic helps sick or tired-out people quickest because it con- tains the particular blood-making and strength-giving form of iron that the sys- tenn needs. This remedy purifies and en- riches the blood, it increases the activity of the stomach, liver and kidneys. It overcomes nerviousness and builds up vii tality and strength. It agrees with the most delicate and deserves your confi- dence because it has been doing all these things for forty-five years. Prepared only by the Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,, Dayton, Ohio. Sold everywhere.
