WHIPPING POST.

Dover, Del, May 1s.-Sherin Melvin.
OF Kent county. applied today the lash
of Delaware justice to three culprits. who
had violated the laws of the state. The
orfense this time. as was the case Of
those whipped last Saturday, was chicken
stealing
Thomas Powell and James Smith, white
farmers were the first victims Of todays
lash. Both men are prominent in their
community and every effort was unsuc-
cessfully made by their counsel to have
the lsshes RENTED.
Powell who was first brought out. rea-
liking his disgrace and humiliation. hid
his face from view by holding his hand
kerchief 70 his eyes until he reached tho
post Here he was compelled TO put il in
his pocket ard have his arms dashed
10 the post As soon as the ten lashes
had been administered and he was re-
leased from his letters he threw his coat
over his head and hastily retreated 70
the prison. His request TO his wife. chill
aren and neighbors 20 be present at the
whipping was not obeyed as none OF them
put in an appearance Powell viii serve
six months in jaih
Smith w5s next Drought 70 the post
He faced his punishment with apparent
Indifference He smiled as he left the
post. Smith viii serve six months
Frederick Allen. the eeiored boy. four
teen years old. who IS the youngest pris-
oner ever whipped at a Delaware whip
ping pest. received his ten lsshes With
a laugh and a grin. remarking that he
had had many a worse whipping at his
home.
Sheriff Melvin applied the last most
severely OF Allen. as he had committed
a second larceny after being prohated
by the court last week He will serve
nine months IN jail

The thistIes show beyond the brook
Dust on their down and bloom,
And out of many eedgrown nook
The aster flowers look
With eyes of tender gloom.
The silent orchard Isles are sweet
With smell of ripenfng fruit;
Thru the sere grass, In shy retreat,
Flutter, at coming feet,
The robins strange and mute.
There is no wind to stir the leaves,
The harsh leaves overhead;
Only the queruIous cricket grieves,
And shriIIing locust weaves,
