amusing incidents in their daily work.
One of the robust and pretty school
marms Of the first grade in one of the
local schools told the Wayfarer yes
terday some Of the amusing ones.
She was standing in the school room
during recess. when a little boy came
up and gazed earnestly into her face.
What is the matter my boy?"
You haven't got false teeth, have
vou?"
NO. have not got false teeth" she
replied.
Il said that you hadn't, but Jimmie
Smith said you had"
On another occasion a little fellow

ADDICKs FOR THE DEMOCRATS

ADDlOlAc fOh AAAN DA%"%
1t is now beginning to dawn upon
the minds OF the most op-
timistic that the real mo-
tive of Addiclks is the election Of the
Democratic ticket in the State and In
the respective counties. This state
ment Is not made without ample evil
dence. and this has been accumulating
until we have no option but to reach
the conclusion stated
Some who have been watching the
moves OF Addicks have decided that he
nominated Byrne with the intention OF
withdrawing his name ultimately If
Or. Ball will not yield to him. Others
have thought that the idea was to force
both these nominees TO withdraw in
order that a new candidate, acceptable
to both, might be taken. There is evil
dence to warrant the conclusion that
both OF these theories are wrong.
kpdicks-la prepared to carry out
his threat to sink the Republican party.
Addicks said a week or two since
that he preferred the election of a
Democrat to that Of DR.. Ball. This was
not uttered in passion, but in a pleas
ant conversation. In the New Castle
caucus,at Dover the other day he de-
clared that Byrne was a good man to
sacrifice. thus intimating that he knew
that in putting him in nomination, he
WAS naming him for defeat He fur
ther said that he would not be with
drawn. but that a Democrat would be
elected. and that this was what he
wanted This is vouched for by dele
gates to the convention and members
OF that caucus Addicks referred to the
fact that joint primaries in New Cas-.
tie had not then been arranged ant
said he hoped there wouldn't be al
agreement. as without it, the Demo
Gratis would triumph, and that wal
what he wanted.
Now we are not manufacturing thi
evidence. but are repeating the declara
tions that Addicks. himself. has made
II there is any meaning in Language
we are obliged to conclude that AID
dicks is determined to defeat the Re

There is other evidence. too; a mum
ber OF years ago he sent to a Unite
States senator the famous telegram :
the effect that If he were not success
ful in securing an election to the Sen
ate. he would sink the party ten thou
sand fathoms deep. Well, we hav
heard that 50 often that there is a ter
dency to smile at il as the snarl Of a
angry man. But we are informed ths
recently in talking over the situatio
he solemnly reaffirmed that declars
tion and in the same language
Therefore. there is no escaping II
conclusion that Addicks finding hin
self thwarted in his ambition, deni,
an election to the Senate and repud
ated by all decent men. has determine
to wreak vengeance on the party. Co
sequently. we had as well make up o
minds that we have two enemies

Bulldog and Donkey Are friends

James H. Wallick's Dramatic Com
pany, which is playing an engagement
at the Grand Opera House, has a num-
Der of trained horses, a white donkey
and bulldog. The latter animal is
the property Of ]. J. Farrell, who plays
the leading parts in the Western plays
produced by the company 1t was given
to him by Mrs. Adam Forepaugh. Mr.
Farrell also trains the horses, and is
loved by all of the intelligent animals.
Strange to say" said Mr.. Farrell to
the Wayfarer, "the bullpup has but
one friend, and that is Barney. the
white donkey. The horses will not
have anything to do with Handsome
the dog, but the donkey loves him and
will follow him anywhere"

Clerks scrsped OFF Ouids

AS the Wayfarer passed Watson's
drug store at Eighth and Market streets
one morning recently, he noticed sew
eral Of the clerks scraping the under
part Of the outer edge Of the marble
TOP of the counter Having his atten-
tion attracted by the unusual sight he
.dueried:
What are you doing?"
"Scraping the balls of chewing gum
from the under part of the counter. +"
How in the world did chewing gum
get there
Why, girls come in here to get soda
water and they stick their chewing gum
under the edge and when they get nm
they forget it"
DO YOU find much of it thore?"
Yes. sometimes We will scrape of
about half teacupful of little gum

A Drifton. Pa. man wanted to get
lid Of his dog. so he took the animal
into the woods and fastened dynamite
package around its neck. Then he
LIGHTED the fuse and ran for home. The
deg scampered after him and crawled
under the house. In few seconds the
house rose in the air. This teaches us
that it is wrong to fasten dynamite
packages to dogs which are not an
chored.
