Christmas Don'ts.

Don't talk love to the clerks
during the holiday rush.
Don't delay making your
Christmas purchases until
Christmas eve, and expect to
find the clerks idly waiting for
you.
Don't call up" the merchant
when you know he is busy and
ask him to run across the
street and tell some one to
come to the phone.
Don't stand around and talk
to the clerks after you have
made your purchases. He has
others to wait on, and custom
ers coming in and seeing you
there will think him busy and
leave.
Don't smoke while in the
stores, as many of the mer-
chants carry fireworks, and
there is much danger of fire.
Don't go to Lexington or
Louisville for holiday goods,
when your home merchants
have lines just as good and
just as cheap. Louisville and
Lexington merchants don't
pay the taxes that light your
city, build your streets and ed
ucate your children.
Don't pay social calls to the
merchants and their clerks
when you know they are busy.
It. [volume] (Lawrenceburg, Ky.) 190?-19??, 1902-12-18

Don't ask the merchant to
deliver small articles that YOU
can, with no inconvenience,
carry home.
Don't expect the merchants
to make you valuable presents
because you have spent fifty
cents with them for goods up
on which there is a profit of
three cents.
Don't drive up in front of a
store and ask that the clerk
bring their stock of holiday
goods outside for you to select
from. The proprietor is pay
ing rent on house in which
to do business.

A Model Distlllery.

Mr.. John Bowling will soon
have completed and ready for
operation his new distillery,
built where for years stood
the old ]. NJ. Walker house.
The plant has been built new
from the ground up, and new
warehouses, Offices, etc, take
the places of the old ones.
Mr.. Bowling has had years of
experience in the distilling bus
mess, having at present III op-
Grafton two other large houses.
He fully understands all the
details connected with the cree
ton of structure of this kind,
and and the little but great
conveniences are not overlook
ed by him. Owing to the de-
lay in the shipment of the ma
chinery for the new plant, Mr..
Bowling tells us thar he will
be unable to start before the
first of February, when he will
run full capacity, MASKING one
hundred bushels day.

I. j. Ballard, the Dru&&ist.

The old Arkansas Traveller
story, to the effect that when
it was not raining no roof was
needed, and when it was rain
ing it could not be put on,
somewhat reminds us of the
crossings on Main and Wood
ford streets. When the wealth.
er was good, they were not
needed, and now, that we are
badly need of them, the wealth
er is too bad to fix them.
There are but two crossings on
Woodford street, while there
should be at least ten. The
crossings on North Main street
are in very bad condition, and
need immediate repair. The
City is not only out of debt,
but has in the treasury nearly
three thousand dollars, and
would it not be well to spend
small part of it in making
these much-needed repairs?

CENSUS OFFICIAL GIVES
INFORMATION OF INTEREST TO lis

L. G. Powers, chief statistician fol
agriculture. has submitted his census
bulletin on Delaware agriculture In
which he notes that Delaware is one OF
the few Atlantic States that has not
practically abandoned the cultivation
Of wheat. Mr.. Powers says that in
1889 our farmers owned 11S,74O acres,
which produced ,S7O57O bushels, with
value S1,247O55. The acreage and
yield were larger than reported in any
other census. The acreage for Della
ware in 1899 was eighteen times as
great as the total of the five New Eng
land States. Maine. New Hampshire.
Massachusetts. Rhode Island and Con-
necticut The value of corn was
greater than that Of any other crop or
product. The acreage was 192.O25.
and the value SLIPS. ASP. Next after

and onions. which had a value OF 81 -

hay and forage, s9S9. S4S, and animals
sold and slaughtered $500, 664.
In fifty years the number of farms
had increased nearly GO per cent. As
their acreage has increasedonly1l per

been caused chiefly by division of some
farms

The Every Evening, in the last few
months. has grown fond OF quoting
President Mckinley, and one
would suppose that our contemporary
had always been an admirer and sup
porter of the late President such
however. is far from the case an ex-
animation OF its files will reveal that

nifty OF slanderlng him. OF course
consistency may not always be expect
ed, but IL requires a nerve of no mean
order to publish articles from him as
a guide for our conduct, when that
paper never ceased TO vilify him till
death closed his career. Here are
some items taken from ids editorial
utteranoes:

In a later editorial we read: "Th
Mckinley Administration has trample
on the principles OF the Declaration o
Independence and violated the Const
tuition of the United States in It's cours
towards the Philippines"
Subsequently we find this genial re
mark: ITO attempt to prove that tn

of its Philippine policy" In another i!

STILL HouNDING HIM

The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph
Of Tuesday says
The Gasman it is reported, contem-
plates putting an end to Congressman
Balls career as the dispenser of Fed
eral patronage in Delaware by knock
ing him out of his seat in the House
at the Congressional election next No
vember. II the Addicksites should re-
fuse to endorse DR. Ball for a renomi-
nation. he would undoubtedly be runby
the Regulars against such candidate
as the Unionists might put in the field.
and in that case the seat would almost
certainly be won by the Democrats.
But the Gasman would not let a little
thing like that worry him. any more
than he permits himself to be worried
by fairly throwing THE two seats in
the Senate into the hands of the
Democracy.
But, according to Addicks, the Tele-
graph is wrong; all the great dailies
are wrong. The magazines which have
from time to time investigated the
case and given their opinions, have
been misinformed. II is the most mar
velous case of universal deception on
record. Addicks is a liberator the
emancipator of the people. He came
to Delaware to win Republican success
and incidentally to dispense sweetness
and light He is the most abused mar
of modern times-or the greatest
fraud.

rnn cocHKAN Appeal

The Supreme Court. In majority
opinion, has sustained the appeal ol
Edwin e. Cochran. Jr and that gentle
man will now resume the duties of his
Office as judge of the Municipal Court
of This city. There Is nothing left but
TO acquiesce In uhis decision. since
from this court no appeal lies OF
course, some Will hold to bhe opinion
announced by the Superior Court, seat
ing Judge Churchman, but all discus
sion of the affair Is now out of place
since the matter is finally adjudicated.
We do not think that there is any
ground for regarding the decision as
having been dictated by political CON
siderations, for although the judges
rendering the majority opinion are
Democrats, yet they are undoubtedly
gentlemen whose first interest they re-
gard as the majesty of the law.
We believe that If all parties inter
ested in this case had acted
with due wisdom and with an
eye single to the eternal fitness of
things, the real interests of good gov
ernment would have been better served.
This is leaving out of consideration
the fitness Of the two gentlemen who
have been engaged In the contest. Ii
would have been a graceful and proper
act for the Senate to have confirmed
the appointments of Governor Tunnel,
unless indeed, they We're known to be
notoriously bad. In a number OF in
stances appointees were turned down

The real purpose was partisan advan-
tage.
IL was setting a bad precedent, and
one which subsequent Senates will
doubtless follow IN dealing with the
appointments OF governor of the OPP
posite political faith. The Republican
party now ism the position OF party
which acted 70 secure partisan ad-
vantage, and %hichz.hasn't even The
solace of success. The Evening Jour
nal cannot defend such practices, no
matter by whom they are put through
and the argument THAT the Democrats
would have done the same. is aside
from the question. We believe in the
good old-fashioned doctrine that public
officials must serve their constituents
primarily, without regard to party, and
that this is Che best politics.

Ages of Man Illustrated

Among the relics in the possession of
the Wayfarer is an old and valued pic
ture representing the Stages Of Mans
Life From the Cradle to the Grave. -
The ages are represented by steps
ascending to THE age of so and decend-
ing to 100. On each step is the picture
of an animal representative Of the age
of man. The first illustration is a
woman holding a prattling babe in her
arms and beneath is the following
verse:
Until the first five years be spent
A child is lamblike innocent"
Standing on the first step Of the
stairs is a boy in blue sailor costume,
with hoop. Below the step is the pic
ture Of a goat and the following rhyme:
AT 10 he goat-like slSips and joys
In idle sports and foolish toys
The second step supports young
man, in full dress with silk hat and a
cane. The picture below this is of a
heifer, with these words:
AT 20 love doth swell his veins
And heifer-like untainted remains"
On step No 8 he is dressed in a
military uniform, and beneath the step
is the picture of a charging bull the
verse is;
with bull-like strength to smite his
foes;
At 30 to the field he goes"
The next illustration shows man in
his prime, with sword aloft and the
red, white and blue in his left hand he
is mounting the top step as if leading
a change. The lion represents him,
and below i'd is;
AT 40 naught his courage Quails,
But hon-like by force prevails
Standing on the top step, in green
frock coat and leggins, is a man at so.
His face bears a shrewd expression.
Below is the picture of a fox and the
accompanying verse.
Strength fails at so, but with wit,
Fox-like he helps to manage it.
The first step ON the decline shows
a man with gray locks, carrying a cane
and somewhat stopped. This stage is
represented by the picture of a wolf
i and these lines follow:
AT 60 repine, fraud and stealthy ways
Wolf-like, he tries his wealth to raise.
A reclining dog and an aged man
walking with bowed head and using
cane, is next, and the following de-
scriptive verse:
AT 20 news he'll hear and tell,
! But, dog-like, loves at home TO dwell. u
Next we see an old man. with stoop-
ing shoulders, wearing a green frock
coat and Quaker-like hat. Beneath this
picture is a sleeping cat and the words.
"The cat keeps house and loves the fire;
/ At 80 we the same desire
Bent almost double is the old man
on the next step. He is represented by
jackass, with a lame back, and the
following:
Weak asses backs were made to bear
At 80 we must suffer everywhere"

Of Our Boyhood Days

Where is to be found boy or girl
in Wilmington who does not like to
listen to their father or mother ex-
plate upon their school days, and tell
of the experiences of their youth And
it is Just as true that the elders like
equally as we'll to relate them, as they
bring to mind fond memories of the
days when they went to the little red,
yellow, octagOnal or log sdhOolhOuse.
And how times have changed since
thenl No wonder the children listen
eagerly to these stories for they are
not like the everyday life of the school
children now. Then the singing
schools and the spelling bees. the de-
batting schools and many other festivi-
ties and amusements of the days gone
by seem so strange. They were en-
ioyed. too, just as much as the more
modern methods of teaching, and en-
tertaining; perhaps more. Yes, there
is a halo romance about these things
to the old folks. and it is well to in
terest the children in the past. Their
progress is due to the earnestness and
energy. the faithful and moral work OF
the elders in days when matters were
more primitive, just as the work of the
children of today will bring forth good
fruit also in fifty years from today.
