PRosPEnous FARMERs

During the last decade or two, the
lot OF the Delaware farmer has not
been especially enviable. He has toiled
long and hard, denied himself much,
and has found it difficult to make any
advance. A more prosperous era ap-
pears TO have dawned, and il his sue
cess Of the present season shall con-
tnue for several years, the Delaware
farmer VIII cease TO complain at his
lot There has been a conjunction of
bountiful crops and a good market The
first is due to a bountiful Providence,
and the last is not TO be entirely dis
associated from governmental affairs.
When the factories are busy and labor
is employed at good wages, then Della
ware farmers may expect a demand for
all their produce, and at remunerative
prices. This they have experienced
this year.
Beginning with the berry crop there
was a comfortable margin OF profit.
Many an acre paid for the price Of the
land after covering all other expenses.
The wheat crop showed a small falling
OF, both in quantity and in price, but
this is matter less serious than it
would have been in former years when
it was chief dependence. In middle
and lower Delaware fields have been
turned into orchards and truck patches,
and a dozen products are reaped where
formerly only wheat and corn grew
Vegetables Of all kinds have flourished
and there has been a steady demand all
the time. f1szi
In recent years tomato growing has
been widely taken up. the dependenc,
being on the numerous canning estab-
hshments. But this season there has
been a market at the stations that OF
fered double the price the packer
agree to pay in their contracts. II tn
present prices of % to 2S cents per bas
ket should continue for several years
! Delaware farming would become yer
: profitable. There has also been a
. abundance Of all sorts of fruits. Tn
peach crop, while it has not been larg
Il yet has been most profitable II hs
been widely distributed, and has Coz
: little to handle. Most of the none
= realized from it has been profit Pea
are abundant and every apple tree
loaded.
~ Early frosts might do considerab
damage, but most OF the products
the field are practically matured. The
is a large acreage Of young corn dow
lie the State. but in a few days il will
on out Of danger. The largest yield OF co
he Delaware ever had is now assured, al
cy II the price does not fall below III
nd anticipated, it will show a profit to Il
at producer. All Of this seems to me,
Ii prosperity, and since this is largely
he agricultural State. this prosperity h
lp- begun where it will be felt.

never been honored by the distinguish
ed career of Thomas +. Bayard.
But let Us glance over the field to see
who these aristocrats are and which
families have sought to perpetuate
their right Of leadership. In the old
days Kent county had George V. Mas
sey, Dick" Harrington, General Tor
bert, George p. Fisher and \. B.
Smithers. Not one was an aristocrat,
but all came from the plain, honest
people Of Kent Not one has left a
political heir; SO Kent is quickly dis
posed OF.
Turning to New Castle. we have Hig-
gins. Bird. Colonel DUPONT. General
Wilson. the Hoffeckers. Ball and
others. Have any of these sought alb
solute control Of the party? Have they
set up as dictators? Has any one OF
them sought to make party patronage
family affair Mr. Higgins. like Mr..
Bird. came from rural New Castle far
mer stock. lie was once elected sem
ator. and the only other member Of his
family that holds Office is his bro
ther. who was appointed a consul on
his own merits. Mr.. Bird gave his SER
vices to the party for years, but re-
fused Office or political honors. He
leaves no relative to take up his po-
litical work. The DuPonts have been
among Wilmington's best citizens, and
II the family for generations has been
distinguished, that is not its fault. Col
onel DUPONT had leadership thrust
upon him, but has never sought to
make a family affair out OF it. Cen
eral Wilson has received honors, but
they have been bestowed by his coun-
try in recognition of his distinguished
services. SO we might go down the
list. and at the end reach the conclu-
sion that Mr.. Byrne is trying to per-
suade Delawareans that it is better TO
elect carpet-baggers to Office than To-
honor our own people.

: Snow Becomes Scarce in Colorado

The memory of the Oldest inhabitant
or Boulder county does not recall a
time when the snow on the mountains
was as scarce as it is now. At the
headwaters of the various branches of
Boulder creek heretofore large beds OF
snow have lasted all summer: but this
year they have dwindled into small
ones. and where there are usually small
beds by the hundreds in the latter part
OF August there is now no snow at all.
Immense basins are found 1T Jasper
Lake, Arapahoe Pass, Arapahoe Peak.
Mount Audubon, Longs Peak, and in
tervening points. These basins rise at
such an angle that the melting of the
snow is gradual. At the foot of these
basins are lakes of various sizes and in
these the creeks virtually take their
rise. There are in Boulder county
many of these lakes in usual seasons.

now the small streams are not running

the lakes have disappeared. The glacier

far as anyone knows.-Denver Republi-

THE LITERARY WORLD

The October Delineator is likely to
attract unusual attention on account
of the fine presentation of the autumn
fashions in that number. In the liter
airy section also the interest is splen-
didly sustained. The second install
ment of Mrs Barr's fine story takes
the reader to the old town of Klrkwall,
the home of Thyra Varrick. and in
PRODUCES the heroine and other chief
characters. The plot unf5lds just
enough to show the possibilities for
dramatic action later on. There are
two other stories. strikingly in con-
trast; one by Marvin Dams, with a child
as the central figure; and the other an
interesting picture of western life, by
Eleanor Gates. Mrs. Cookies charming

there has scarcely been an article of
the kind published of recent years in
which the practical and the imaginative

Ada Marie Peck. appears in this issue,
and in the Athletic series there is an

A Model Introduction
From thc Cleveland plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
There is a story of a certain prom
inent Britisher who was booked for a
lecture in a Scotch town. and who was
greatly annoyed by the exceedingly
lengthy remarks of the chairman, who
was called upon TO introduce him. FL
nally the latter reluctantly drew his
speech to a close with the remark that
"the eminent speaker of the evening
will now give you his address" Where
upon the irascible lion OF the occasion
looked at his watch and then abruptly
informed the audience that his address
was No. AZ Edgeware Road, Edinburg,
where he would be pleased to meet and
converse further with them. This lit
tie story Of the prolix chairman and the
disgusted lion is recalled by q reference
to the many chairmen who have had
the honor to introduce the President to
his New England audiences. Some Of
them have been tedious, some gushing,
some awkward. All have tried to be
Original, strikingly so in numerous in
stances. and most OF them have failed
victims OF lack Of understanding of
the eternal fitness Of things.

The Autumn Girl

You may sing OF your Summer girl
And her conuuests by the score;
You may sing OF her winsome wiles
AT the mountains and the shore;
You may praise all her wondrous ways,
Till no more you can recall
Here's a song TO the Autumn girl,
For she is the best Of all.
She can golf on the hills for hours
And win every hole you play;
She can two-step and waltz till dawn,
Yet be fresh as a morn in May.
She may ride to the hounds at morn
But at eve she'll cling to your arm;
So here's health to the Autumn girl,
With her wealth Of youthful charm
