We believe that the Levy Courts

We believe that the Levy Courts
of both Kent and Sussex counties
have made a mistake in not max
ing appropriations for building
good roads. The money expended
in refunding the investment tax
collected under the Adams Tax
law that was declared unconstitu-
tional. would have been far better
expended in building stone roads
in each county, and the people
would have been better pleased.
Good roads and a workhouse Tor
prisoners are the crying needs OF
Kent and Sussex counties.

IL several Of the daily papers
there has recently appeared items
which state that the Democrats
OF the lower counties Of Delaware
are talking OF Mr.. Joseph E. Hol-
land for their next candidate for
Governor. Mr.. Holland is well
known merchant of this town, and
there is no doubt but that he would
make an upright executive for the
State: but his aversion to getting
down into the practical political
work necessary aud making prom
ises to party leaders all over Della
ware to land the nomination from
the Democratic party,will keep the
honor from coming to him. Mr..
Holland Is amply able financially
10 measure up to the requirements
TO land the nomination; but our
acquaintance with Mr.. Holland
leads US to believe that he would
not make the deals necessary to
place him as the standard bearer
Of his party and largely sink his
personality at this particular time.
The Democrats of Delaware are
torn by factional strife, and Mr..
Holland would have a tough job
playing the role Of moses to the
Democratic party and leading them
out Of their troubles.

THE editor of the "Peninsular
News and Advertiser" in comment
ing on the egg problem, which
appeared in the columns of this
paper a few weeks ago, and which
Is given in this issue with the So
luton. has the following to say:
Fractional hens and fractional eggs are the
subjects Of conversation this week in the post

Isn't it too bad 20 BE- disturbed with s0 mQmen-
t0us problem after having just recovered from
the tremendously lrainpuzzliug question of

We are s0rely tempted % solve the problem
ourselves even though ii entai upon Us ihe PEN
atty OF reading the MlLFoED CHRONICLE for q

In answer to the above clipping,
il will be noticed that the editor
says that the problem is being dis
cussed throughout the town, in
the postofice, the stores, aud on
the street, which shows that the
CHRONICLE is being read exten-
sively by the general public, and
ia the latter clause of the brilliant
editorial it says "We are sorely
tempted to selve the problem our
selves, even though it entail upon
US the penalty of reading the
CHRONICLE for a whole year" In
reply to the latter clause of the
above clipping we wish to say that
the noted editor reminds US of per
sons who frequently indulge in
reading fiction and never think Of
reading facts. The fiction poisons
the minds if constantly read and
makes it unfit to appreciate the
real classics. So reading the
News seems to have had a similar
effect upon its honored editor and
makes it so that that editor ap-
probation of the CHRONICLE is i'm
possible.

How Roses Grow on Wire
From Leslie's Monthly.


The star does all the fine work of the

can accomplish. because there are none of
the other forty workers competent to lend

on piecework all the year around, and

of the year.

Gorgeous Sunshades for Brides.
ON the London Express

From the London Express.
In consequence of the fact that at a
smart wedding the queen carried a colored
sunshade, many smart society leaders have
adopted the use of small dark blue and
green umbrellas. The newest designs in
parasols and sunshades have already ap-
peared in the West End shops, and these are
particularly beautiful this season. Much at
tention is to be paid this year to handles.
and it is an increasing fashion to give eX-
quisite jeWeled tops to fashionable
brides many of whom receive as many as
thrty-ffve of these expensive trifies, some
of them worth from go to f25 apiece. In
the collection of Lady Kerry, who was
married the other day, one umbrella was
topped with a huge rhinestone, on which
was design of wreaths traced out in fine
rubies with studs of emeralds set at inter-
walls. Agate, pink crystals and the lucky
stone jade are favoritc stones for the max
ing of these dainty handles, while fine
wrought gold shaped as animals head,
and afterword enameled in colors, is
much in demand. Diamond markings on
Russian enamels and the designs of the
empire period are also in high favor.

Hewitt Never Missed Chance.

1t was not always thus at the New York
city hall. 1t is questionable if the mayors
chair here was ever held by a man who
neglected his kissing opportunities until
young Mr.. Mcclellan came along. In our
own time even the somewhat testy and
difficult Mayor Abram S. Hewitt-who was
beyond middle age when he came to the
uavor'S seat the first time-neVe missed
chance to hestow his official salute upon
the cheek of a blushing bride when the
bride appealed to him as an engaging sub
iect."
He was however. noteworthily discrim-
native and had an observable preference
for quite young brides He was never
known to implant his official osculation
upon the cheek of a divorcee. Perhaps this
matter of principle with him. for he
was an old-faShioned man, and didn't be-
lieve in the divorce business.
Mayor William r. Grace, wholesome and
CHEEKY Irshman that he was, used to vow
in his teeth at club dinners while he was
mayor, that the only charm the mayors
billet had for him-aside, of course, from
the advantages the job offered him for
pounding and bemaZing his enemies-was
the opportunity he had to kiss a thousand
pretty girls year-whether they wanted
to be kissed or not-and my good wife,
more's the joy of it, deprived of the right
to take me to task"
The somewhat stoid but business like
Mayor Grant-"Hughey'-was. for all of
the coldness of his exterior, the most dead
game of all the New York mayors of this
generation when it came to kissing the
brides whom he united in marriage.
'Hughey' just took 'em as they came, one
and all. He was wholly impartial and
played absolutely no favorites. 1t made no
difference to "Hughey" Grant if the bri5es
We're sixteen or SiXty-nine, he was there
with the salute wh'1 the psychological
moment arrived. Ee acted upon the prn-
ciple that Il man may never know how good
4 SIS is going to prove until he tries il
and. as they used to say of him when he
WAS occupying the mayors chair, nothing
ever gets by Hughey that looks as If it
might do"
There wasn't anything of a dilly y-dallying
cr hesitating character. either, about the
bride-kissing policy of that uncompromis-
| ing republican mayor, the late William L.
Strong. He, too, took 'em Just as they
swung along, being far-minded and good
| hearted man and unwilling to have any of
| the watchful officials of the city hall point

number of occasions Mayor Strong absent

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifies the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DR..
