Colonel Bill Sterrett used to tell
a story about the man who went
into the Indian Territory to sell
baby carriages.
Everybody said he was crazy. It
was admitted that there was a fine
crop Of babies in the territory, but
no one could see what the squaws.
who were used to packing their off
spring on their backs, could do with
baby carriages.
Still, orders began to come back.

CONDENSED STORIES.
How the Late Judge French Surprised
aLying Witness.


Judge French, who recently died
in England, was a genuine humorist
himself and appreciated humor in
others, says Leslie's Weekly. He
often used to say that no man with
out a sense of humor could have
borne the pathos of the sordidness
of life and the absolute lack of char
acter which were exhibited in his
courts. The litigants he loved least
were those who thought he was to
be easily deceived by lying. He was
a master hand at telling which side
was lying the least. One day in an
interpleader action man set up the
plea that he had lent his son $1,000.
1t seemed impossible to tell where
the truth lay. All the parties were
foreigners and addressed the bench
as ''Your most noble honor" "Ah,
now" said Judge French, Chow kind
it was of your father to lend you
1900" The man thought the
Judge believed him. "And how did
you carry that $1,2OO?" asked his
honor. Gall in mine pockets in the
good gold," replied the witness, still
laughing. "Ah, what load!" went
on the judge. eyes, what a load~

lieve a word of it." returned the

loads, and finally Sterrett went up
to investigate. He went into one of
the Indian villages.
"And I'll be dashed" said Colonel
Bill, eff I didn't see a dozen big fat
Indians sitting in baby carriages, all
scrouged up, while the squaws were
pushing them around. The baby
carriage man had made the Indians
believe that baby carriages were the
right kind of pleasure rigs for the
noble red man. Washington Post.

Late Trains.

Late arrivels of the berry trains
at all the city markets has caused
thousands of dollars loss to grow
ers in Delaware and Maryland.
This conditions has become chron-
ic, and so accustomed are the
growers to this miserable train
service, that they accept the loss
as part of returns for the privilege
of paying an extra freight rate
for fast train service. The fruit
growers of this peninsula have
lost hundreds of thousands of
dollars from this cause, and the

MILIUN NEWS.

The 4th of July, 1908, is numbered
among the days of history. Nothing
trauspired on that day in Milton, that will
cause a future generation to look back
to as an epoch. The stores were closed
after noon with few exceptions, few
flags were thnOwn to the breeze, and this
Is all the demonstration there was made
to commemorate the event that severed
our connection with that nation that
broke the power of the mighty Napo-
leon upon the plains of Belgium. Many
OF our citizens went to Lewes, RehobOth
and Greenwood. Some purchased tick
cts for Cape May, but the train that con-
meets with the boat going there did not
stop at Milton, aud they were dissppoin-
ted. In the afternoon our town might
have been called a deserted village, ~
and to add to the ennui Of the situation.
the mail did not arrive until O'Clock.
The want of public display on holidays,
and particularly on the 4th Of July, by the
people of Milton, must not be attributed
TO lack of patriotism. Such is not the
case. Our people are "free and easy''
and happy people, there is little that
occurs to disturb their equanimity, and
they do not wish ii disturbed. Hence.
they do not prepare to put themselves to
any trouble to commemorate even,s. pre-.
ferring to let other towns do the celebra-
Iing,and they furnish their quota ofspec.
ators,a and spend their share of money. 1t
vas not always thus in this town. A past
with all its faults, was equal
0 the occasions in many things. The
'eople then, though not so given to en-
erprise as their more modern success
rs, were bound to have their fun, and 4
iey had it with creased pigs, creased b
oles, bag races snd swimming matches, V
ud anything else that their ingenuity :,
ID invention could devise. Alas alas a

THE following is clipping from
the Delaware State News" which
IS a part of sermon delivered by
DR.. L. Z. Barrett on Sunday even
ing last in which he eulogizes the
Judiciary of our state. And we
print the extract because we be-
lieye it to be in harmony with good
government and heartily appreciate
the loyalty of the eminent devine
in defending the Judges of the
state against unjust public criti-
cism.
Our judges compose as honest
and faithful a bench as can be
found in any State in the whole
United States. And when we begin
to speak lightly of our courts and
stir up spirit of.discredit of Judi
ciary, we are bordering on inciting
70 riot. If our judges, in their
wisdom see that justice cannot bel
meted out as swiftly as we would
like, under the law which they are
sworn to support, then our remedy
is not to assault our judiciary but
to make new laws that will mete
out justice, swift, certain and
terrible to the human beasts that
roam our highways and make them
unfit for women and children.

being Union Pacific and st. Paul. Even
the steel stocks were easier abroad
The attendance of brokers ON the ex-

outset here the market was narrow and

vanees and declines of about equal pro-

tone was shown by such issues as Penn

action In Steel common was at slight
advance, which was soon lost while the
preferred was altogether neglected.

New York, Sept 12.-The Chronicle re-

of the reports at hand from other direc-

be out of the question. Some OF our cor
respondents claim as much as 20 to DO

exceptional, but making due allowance for
the. exaggeration, 1t will be quite safe to
assume that the crop has been falling so
much that there is no chance for 1t to
recover before the frost period is reached.
The weather map today was good and the
forecast was for some moisture where
needed. Cables were two to Ave lower.
