WHEN THE SNOW COMES.

When the snow comes we slide on our sleds
and skis and go very fast. Yesterday we
made a snow fort and when the fort was
ready we snowballed. In the winter the
snow birds come and they seem to be very
happy as they hop about in the snow.

WHEN THE SNOW COMES.
When the snow comes we have much fun
sliding on the snow-drits on our skis and
our sleds.
At recess and at noon the boys built a
fort. The next recess our teacher let them
borrow a flag to put on the top of it. Then
they began to fight. There were two boys
on one side and Ave on the other side.
Last winter the boys made n snow man

SMITH AND THE INDIANS.

The settlers of Virginia thought it was
only a short distance to the Pacific Ocean.
1t Is over 800 miles to the ocean. The set
tiers fitted out an exploring party, and Smith
at the head. They attempted to. go to the
Pacific but were attacked and captured by
the Indians. TO amuse the Indians, Smith
showed them his pocket compass. The In
dams were surprised because they had never
seen anything 1ike it before. They decided to
take him to their fierce chiet, Powhatan.
They dragged Smith: to the wigwam Of the
chief. They placed his head on a f1at stone
savage stood over him to kill him. Poca-
hontas, a little daughter Of the chief came In,
and put her arms around Smiths neck and
begged for his life, Powhatan, for the sake
Of his daughter. spared Smiths life aud sent
him back to Jamestown.

THE TREE.

THE TREE.
A tree is plant. The lowest part Of the
tree is the roots. Branches grow from the
trunk of the tree. Leaves grow from the
branches. Some of the flowers produce fruit.
Firs and pines are evergreens. The oak is a
wide-spreading tree. The cherry tree is a
fruit tree. The children love the Christmas
tree best.

BOARD OF TRADE ADVERTISING.

The attitude Of public bodies towards
the newspapers and their views on ad-
vertisine. we're illustrated at meet
Ing OF the Board OF Trade last night
when an appropriation Of 5000 was
made to print a pamphlet giving an
account Of the recent banquet and to
assist the Board Of Trade Journal to
get out what shall be known as the
~ship canal" edition
An of the advertisement of this en-
te.prise has been given by the press.
Columns Of space OF every newspaper
in town have been devoted 70 it. Al
the time Of the banquet they covered IL
in a manner that cannot be improved
upon. The Evening Journal spent a
considerable sum in illustrations; and
from an Of this enterprise the project
and it's sponsors were widely adver-
Used at time when the matter was
news and was OF general interest.
This appropriation OF $500 81 used at
the time Of the banquet TO buy copies
OF the three wilmington papers which
covered the subject, to send to persons
whom IL was the desire TO interest
would have accomplished more than
$1,000 spent IN pamphlets now.
This is not a wall of jealousy for the
Board Of Trade can use its money or
throw 1t away-it has that right-but
we suggest that the whole matter was
made possible by the press which gave
freely Of its space to advertising the
canal and the banquet given in its an
terest OF course The newspaper work
was appreciated. and OF course the ex-
ira copies Of the papers rendered the
members were eratefuiiy accepted, but
now that the Board decides TO under
take advertisement in earnest, it can
think Of nothing more effective than
pamphletsl
1t should divide up this fund, or add
10 il. A part could be used to paint
advertisements on the fences and barns
in the rural communities, Then il
might have some dodgers struck on, "a
be distributed from door TO door; and
a sum could be employed TO insert pic
lures OF the members IN amusement
programmes. bur the real advertise
ment should be left to the press which

hottering words OF all. spend its money
freely, and regard the knowledge Of 4

INTERESTS OF DELA WARE
CHRISTIAN ENDEA VORERS
By the Rey- J. Frankiin Bryan Dover Del

One would think that Christian En-
deavor news should be very scarce dur
ing such severe winter weather: but
Notwithstanding this great obstacle, in
the way Of progress. the work among
the societies is moving forward The
missionary committee of the State
Union has sent out report blanks to
the various local societies to ascertain
an account of the work which is be-
ing done for the important causes of
Home and Foreign Missions. This
committee is starting out in the be-
ginning in the right manner by find
ing out what the societies have been
doing for missions. When the reports
have all been received then the COM
mittee VIII know just what the needs
viii be and therefore can make suitable
suggestions to the societies regarding
the great work of spreading the gospel
both at home and abroad.
1t will be a great benefit to all con-
.cerned If the corresponding secretaries
of the local societies viii accurately and
promptly answer all questions on this
report blank and return It to the COM
nittee.
On last Thursday evening at the
parsonage of the First Baptist Church,
Dover the Rev. S. B. Hiley. pastor. a
1ox social was held. "A large attend
lnce OF young people was present and
luite a neat little sum of money was
realized for the benefit of the local
society. This was not held alpne to
make money but to have a social time
rs well. An interesting program was
rendered at the First Methodist Pro-
testant Church. Dover. on last sun
day evening, which was enjoyed by a
large audience. One Of the features
Of the service was an interesting inn
pressive and uplifting solo. by Miss
DAILY. of Dover. on Tuesday evening Of
this week the Young Peoples Society
Of Christian Endeavor of Viola M. h.

deavor missionary collection. The So
ciety sends it's missionary money

taking the advice Of the executive

The Viola society also holds strictly
to the rule Of Christian Endeavor by
holding its business meeting once

once a month, which brings together
the young people outside Of the society

is one of the best in Delaware.

CHEATING AT COLLEGE,

AT Princeton College there is an
honor committee" composed Of one
man from each Of the lower classes and
two from each Of the upper classes.
The purpose OF this committee may be
understood from a bit OF work they
have just done. Several freshmen
were detected in cheating, they having
procured examination papers in ad-
vance, by paying a certain sum to one
who had stolen them. The committee
recommended the expulsion OF the dis
honored students and caused the ar
rest OF two men accused Of the theft.
This indicates a stride 10 advance.
Not many years since to cheat Of ex-
aminations was frequently regarded as
AN evidence Of smartness. and not in-
frequently thosewho had gotten through
tight place by this method, boastet
of It. Now It seems TO have dawnec
on the minds Of the boys that this form
OF deception is.as dishonorable as any
other form of cheating. Perhaps this
awakened sense OF honor results from
the fact that upon the students them-
selves has been placed the responsible
ity OF earring for their own honor. II
allows them to see things in new
light The faculty are no longer i'm
quisitors, but are men like themselves
who prefer TO associate with gentle
men.
The honor system may be extended
with profit to an. Everybody will
sympathize with the exubcrance ol
youth, and college men may expect
every leniency for college pranks. Yet
TOO often their diversion takes the form
of that which I'm others would lead tc
the police courts For the honor ant
dignity of our Institutions Of learning
there should be reform, ana it i.
most fitting that it should come from
the students themselves.

The reports from every foreign court.
and all Of the press dispatches indi-
cate the beginning OF hostlitics at
short notice. The differences appear to
be irreconciiable. 1t IS a contest for
supremacy in the section embracing
Manchuria. Corea and China. Japan
has outgrown her islands. she aspires
to be to Asia what the United States
is TO America. She sees her powers ex-
panding while the sphere OF her possi-
BILE influence is contracting. on the
other hand Russia does not wish to
see a powerful Asiatic nation that may
interfere with her enterprises. built up.
1t means war. or at best. only tenn
porary truce.
Nobody can predict the result. Japan
is compact. Her base Of supplies will
always be near at hand. Her navy is
considered equal to, il not superior to
that OF Russia. and this promises TO be
a naval war. To invade Russia to any
extent is out Of the question. FOR that
would require al Of the armies Of Eu-
rope. To invade Japan and overrun
every foot Of her territory would be
an easy task We're il not for her de-
fences. Every port is guarded by for
tihcations and battleships. How strong
these defenses are is not known, but
we may make a shrewd guess. Japan
is energetic, industrious, thrifty and
Ingenious; she has learned a great deal
in recent years Of all the sciences which
enter into the art OF war. and then she
has been preparing for this conclusion
ever since the fruits OF her victory over
the Chinese were wrung from her.
Japan win doubtless give a good ac-
count Of herself.

Measuring the Corn Crop.
From the -Four Track News.
Were the corn Of seven corn States
loaded ON wagons, forty bushels TO the
load. and placed so the heads Of the
horses would come just TO the rear
end-board of the preceding wagon, ana
it were possible FOR this line of march
to cover the land and sea. an average
years crop from these seven corn
growing States would make a complete
belt OF corn wagons six times around
the world.
Place the crop OF 1902 in cars hold
ing 500 bushels each. and allow forty
feet for car and coupling, and we
would have a continuous freight train

readily believes that in the list Of cer-
calls corn stands first IN point Of acre
