From the Chicago Chronicle.
No game has ever been dealt with
more cilessly--football perhaps ex-
cepted-- than bridge" The pulpit has
condemned IL as a waste OF time ply
sicians have declared that women are
running their health by their devo-
tion to IL, and sociologists arc saying
that bridge players are IN danger Of
being able TO do nothing else, so great
Is the craze for it.
SO intensely does Mrs Humphrey
Ward feel on the subject that In a re-
cent paper she declared: Bridge has
ruined several fine ladies' brought some
estates into the market put up many
thousand pounds worth Of jewels for
sale az Chnstie's. separated husbands
and wives who had rubbed along fair
ly well before and destroyed many
friendships"
Now the New York Sun appears with
a hatterlng endorsement OF the game
and calls It one peculiarly suited 10 the
American type of mind. saying the
qualities essential for success at bridge
are precisely those in demand In ev-
eryday life, either business or social;
that it Is a game OF Judgment COM
blned with speculation, of. combination,
balanced by competition.
II calls Il peculiarly a game for in
telligcnt people since II presents con-
tinually interesting and intricate prob
lens more or less difficult OF solution,
and the individual feels that the play
of every card IS an expression OF his
personality in controlling the result.
With "send-off" like that every
bridge player may give conscience 10
the four winds and resume the game
as duty as well as a pleasure. II Il
Is whetting the faculties for business
and for social success, why not play

who have condemned it doubtless knew
nothing of It's educational value. They
spoke In their ignorance. and Mrs

torious side, and did not see that ever

And yet Russell Sage is not given tC

BUSINESS AND TIE PRESS.

ID USlNESS is looking up. Many Of
~ our large manufacturing concerns
are booking contracts, and wheels that
the summer found idle are beginning
again to revolve. Harlan's announce
that they have secured one contract for
65 frst-class passenger coaches, besides
other contracts for shlpbullding, which
win call for many men.
A presidential election always causes
a certain amount OF stagnation and the
year 1904 has proved no exception.
There was no panic. but enterprise halt
ed and capital was cautious until the
issue had been determined. Conse-
quently, the election being over, ana
the nature OF governmental policies de-
termined for four years to come, nor
NAL business activity was only natu-
raj.
Depression in a large measure results
from a thought OF depression and not
necessarily from actual conditions. So
when all doubts as to the tariff and
finance have been dissipated, we may
expect as the months so by even great
er activity in our shops and mills.
There Is one thing we have noticed
about Wilmington enterprises that We
sometimes deplore and which we are
certain in the long run is unwise. The
managers Of our shops do not take into
account the value Of the local press as
an advertising force. Not in the sense
of paying for space in the columns Of
the press. but they do not avail them
selves OF the opportunity to keep Will
mington and her enterprises at tho
front.
The press and the heads Of our man
ufacturing concerns should stand to-
gether. FOR they have a common pur-
pose. A greater Wilmington is the
wish Of am. Yet We cite an instance as
showing the conservatism which un-
doubtedly exists. A local paper hav-
ing heard rumors Of Increased activity
in all the shops in the city, the other
day determined to advertise that fact,
and in pursuance Of its plan asked the
heads Of twenty establishments for
some statement Of their plans and
prospects. But one Of the twenty would
consent to make any statement. al
though many Of them by giving a lit
tie data could have helped along tn,
confidence which Is so necessary to bus.
iness. and possibly have indirectly
helped themselves.
This is not said I'm complaint. but t,
emphasize the truth that the news
papers are the voice Of Wilmington
and that their purpose is to foster, ad
vertise and encourage every honest en-
terprise that il contains; and what the.
require Is cooperation.

WORK FOR YOUNG HORSES
Many Mistakes Are Made in This Di-
rection by Farmers Who Ought
to Know Better.

Il may be considered that horse Is
fairly termed young until it is eight
years old, and after that it ought to
be expected to accomplish any reason
able amount of work asked of it with
out injury: l often think we are in
clined to ask too much of your young
horses; we work them too hard with the
same effect that working children too
hard has: it stunts their growth and
prevents them from accomplishing what
they should when they reach maturity
Feeding young horses is one of the Sc
rious problems of farm work and one
which each horse owner must, largely,
work out for himself.
We have found it not only economical
but good policy to fed the young horse
a moderate quantity of corn, about one
fifth of the ration, but we always feed
cracked corn and thus avoid any serious
bowel. troubles. However, we learned
after some years Of experimenting that
to get the best results from feeding q
ration in which cracked corn was used
we must feed more or less succulent
food. For this purpose we have used
root crops, a moderate amount of silage
or Stoned clover hay, and had the best
results from the root crops. During the
summer we. always permit the young
horses to get enough grass to supply the
green food needed to keep them in good
condition. Tribune.
