city can entertain all who attend.

READABLE RHYMES

The grand armies OF peace are encamp-

There Is no CLINT on the spear, no blaze

No flashing Of helmet, nor the gleam-

pearl inlaid.
Their standards are glist'ning with the
dew OF the dawn,
And growing In splendor with the
growing Of MORN

They are coming, their arms brimming
with golden corn.
And there's music far sweeter than the
huntsman's horn
'Iis the llfe-giving music OF the rust

They are marching abreast where the

Meath their ribbons and pennons there

HAIL AUTUMN.

L VERY year about the time the last
IL peaches hang ripe on the trees and
when the corn is being put into the
shock, there comes storm that
sweeps the country whips the foliage
into ribbons, and leaves a chill in the
air which proclaims the end Of sum-
mer.
This proclamation came last night
The wind blew and the rain fell in tor
rents; and this morning coats were
buttoned tight and little shivers play
ed around those who went early to
work.
Nature doesn't put away her gorge

time has come to discard them she
whips them into tatters and then a

PRIMARY SCHOOL HOURS.

Editor OF The Evening Journal:

your paper yesterday which interested
me. and which I think should be broad

In 1t you call attention 10 the neces-
sity for shorter hours for the pupils of

opinion among educators, physicians
and the most enlightened parents is
that children Of the primary grades

three hours per day.

rHg COMING OF FAIRBANKS.

TATHEN Magistrate Bradley returned
w from the Chicago convention he
came with the assurance Of Senator
Fairbanks that he would make one or
two addresses In Delaware. II seems
that the Vice Presidencial candidate,
probably after consulting the national
committee. is prepared to keep his
promise.
He viii come to Delaware under the
auspices Of the Union Republicans and
to keep his pledges to Bradley, Ad-
dicks and Alice. That he made this
promise under misrepresentation we
may wen believe. These WORTHLESS had
just been seated in the national con-
vention. and had helped to nominate
the ticket. He had no hesitancy in
promising the ostensible leaders Of a
state party 20 assist them in their
campaign But the national committee
knew the facts. and II it has done its
duty, Mr. Fairbanks is in possession Of
those facts.
There is an effort now to give a
non partisan coloring TO the affair, but
as far as we can learn no real Regu-
lar Republican has been consulted or
invited to participate IN any" manner
There appears to be studied effort
on the part Of the local managers to
make the affair bear the appearance
OF an insult to the Regular Republl-
cans by the national party.
Yet in this city to secure an audi
ence. reliance must be placed on Regu-
lar Republicans. A party that can
furnish only 1000 votes in a city OF
this size cannot give much OF an audi
ence in itself. It will have 70 rely upon
Regular Republicans to an the seats
while Alice, Layton, Bradley and Ad-
dicks dlsport themselves on the stage
and exchange courtesies with the great.
This will doubtless prove very di-
verting. but we don't think it can pos
sibly make votes. And all this is said
because Of our anxiety for the electoral
ticket and out Of kindness to Senator
Fairbanks.

A PERPLExINe PROBLEM.

A NEW JERSEY judge is wrest-
"A ling with a problem that is as
old as Jurisprudence and as in
sistent as the tax collector-more in
sistent than a Wilmington tax collector.
The problem concerns the right OF a
husband or wife to the others prop
erty. or, perhaps we should say. the
question is who holds absolute title to
certain property?
In this instance the man removed s2a
from his wife's pocket and she seeks
to recover. Undoubtedly the shock
was great, but people usually recover
from such disasters. but that leaves
the legal and ethical aspects Of the
case untouched. In the FIRST place. we
notice that the charge remains to be
proved. Experts have been known to
converse with a man while removing
his wallet; they can make bill dis
appear before your very eyes. but any
body who in boyhood was accustomed
to search his mothers pockets for PEN
nies or lozenges knows that to get into
woman's pocket requires genius and
training.
But granting that he actually got IT,
shall we cali it robbery and consign
him to jai! like an ordinary felon? Is
there not a modus vivendi existing be-
tween husband and wife which permits
a free exchange OF change. and which
puts a premium on skill? The learned
court might ask In this instance where
the woman got the s22 Insistence on
that question might reveal that II was
taken from a trousers pocket the night
before. should this prove true. we
might argue that a fair exchange IS
no robbery. and that since money is
really useful only when it is active the
interests OF both were served because
this cash refused to remain overnight
IA the pocket where it had been placed.
But we shall have to go yet deeper:

and II the attention is not held they are

with their progress later. There is

not be surprised TO learn that It begins
in the primary grades.
We are told that parents favor these
long hours, because the longer the chill

one inspiring most parents then the So

OLD AND NEW WAY.
Hyomei, the latest Scientific Discovery
for the Cure Of catarrh.

The discovery ofHyomei has wrought
a wonderful change in the treatment
OF catarrh.
Prior TO three years ago the medi-
cines ordinarily employed In the cure
of this disease were nauseating drugs
and worthless tonics. In some instan-
ces they benefited, but the improvement
was not lasting.
With Hyomei you take into the air
passages OF the throat and head a ball
samic air that goes into the minutest
cells, effectually killing all germs and
microbes Of catarrh. II enters the
blood with the oxygen, killing the
germs In the blood and restores health
TO the whole system. Many astonish-
ing testimonials have been received
from those who have been cured by
Hyomei.
A complete OUTFIT costs but $1.00. and
includes an inhaler, dropper and suhi-
Client Hyomei for several weeks treat
ment.
Perhaps the strongest evidence that
can be given to doubters, is the fact
that 2. James Belt has so much faith
In Hyomei that he sells every package
under a positive guarantee to refund
the money il it does not cure.
Now is the time to begin the use of
Hyomei.

expense having been spared in the me-
chanical light effects, together witk
scenery and many other details that go
to make up the realism of play Of to-
