DELAWAREs GAME LAWS

As the "open" season for cunning ap-
proaclies sportsmen are busly engaged in
hunting up the laws governing the hunt
ing for and handling OF game in this State.
The season promises to be an excellent
one for rabbits as they are plentiful, but
quail are scarce. Thousands OF these birds
having perished during the severe cold
and heavy SHOWS Of last winter.
The season for both quail and rabbit
will open OH November 10Th.
Two acts were passed by the last Legis-
lature affecting the game laws.
The opening date of the season for
reed birds was changed to September lst,
to conform with that in adjoining States;
and protecting all squirrels. The closed
season for game in Delaware is as follows:
Squirrel (other than red and only in Kent
and New Castle Countless and rabbit,
from January 1st to November 18th; quail,
partridge and pheasant, from January lst
to November 18th; dove, all the year;
reed bird, ortolan or rail, from February
I'd to September lst; duck Except wood
duck, goose, brant and swan, from April
10Th to October lst.
The sale Of quail, partridge and pleas
ant is prohibited, and the buying for
sale is prohibited. Delaware imposes a
license lee OF IS for nonresident hunters,
the license being issued by the Delaware
Game Protective Association. For each
subsequent year the fee is 81.
Delaware also prohibits the export OF
rabbit, quail, partridge, woodcock, and
non-residents are also prohibited from
shipping Wilson or English snipe.

EIGHT HOURS Or STRIKE

Wilmington Typographical Union Mon
day night discussed the question of
whether the union printers should go on
strike if their demand for an eight-hour
day is not granted by January 1st. The
"eight-hour committee" at conference
with the master printers on Wednesday
night last said they would refer the ques-
tion of eight hours or strike to the un-
ion for its expression. Monday night the
union decided that its members should
strike if the eight-hour day is not conced-
ed the first of next year A communica-
ton to this effect was drafted in behalf
OF the union and sent to the master prin-
ters' association. The order for an eight
hour day was issued by the International
Typographical Union sometime ago to
every local union in the country.

A. o. U. w. REGISTERS

Dr. Genrle W. Marshall, State Insur-
ance Commissioner, is pleased that tie
Ancient Order of United Workmen has
registered with him, complied with all Of
the state laws concerning life insurance
companies and become qualified to do
business the same as any other life insnr-
ance company.
While the order is not compelled under
the law 10 take such coarse, it is felt
that the action will give the order
standing which cannot be assailed and
the granting of the certificate by the in-
surance commissioner shows that the Or
der is qualified to do business just the
same as any other life insurance company
would be, and must have therefore satis-
fled the insurance commissioner as to its
assets and ability to do precisely what it
promises.
As the order which has registered is
the oldest and largest of the fraternal or
CARNATIONS doing business in Delaware,
it is generally expected that the other
fraternal organizations will follow the
same plan and will thus give themselves
standing which they never befosa en-
|joyed as the certificate gives official aIian;
proya to their statements,

OUR WOMAN'S COLUMN

1t is said that 100 wives were deserted
By their husbands in New York last year.
In Belgium women consider it a dis
grace to have hired girl. The mistress
must be lazy.
Some fplks buy books to put money in
their heal; thers buy clothes and put
money o. ,ir backs.
A girl is never satisfied until the right
man comes along and says the right thing
at the right time.
Don't imagine that every sad eyed wo-
man you meet has loved and lest. It's
more likely she loved and got him.
More than 100000 club women have
adopted memorial calling upon the
United States Senate to unseat Smoot.
In some South American tribes the wo-
men draw the front teeth, esteeming as
an ornament the black gap thus made.
The American game OF basket ball is
becoming very popular with British wo-
men. 1t was invented by Mr.. Hart of
Columbia.
Don't draw down the shades in your
living room as soon as evening falls. Let
your light shine out to cheer TO passers-
by.
Miss Roosevelt says she is glad to get
back to America. Well, she is one OF
those fortunate people who do not need
to work after their vacations are ended.
As a suggestion of the minute ramiica
tions of paternalism in Germany the
government has ordered the rigid prohi-
bition of corsets by the high school girls
during gymnastic exercises.
The president of the Congress of
Mothers says children should be allowed
to get "gloriously dirty" every day.
They are pretty apt to if the Congress of

WHAT TO TEACH A GIRL
Teach her that 100 cents make 81.

Teach her that 100 cents make 81.
Teach her to wear calico dress and
wear it like queen.
Teach her to say ''no" and stick to it.
or Eyes" and mean it.
Teach her to arrange the bed room as
well as the parlor or library.
Teach her to dress for health and COM
fort as well as for appearance.
Teach her how to darn stockings, sew
ON buttons and mend glove.
Teach her to have nothing to do with
Incorporate or dissolute young men.
Teach her to observe the morals and
habits and not money in selecting her as
sociates.
The old rule of "a place for everything
and everything in its place"
Teach her the more she lives within
her income the more she will save for
'rainy day."
Teach her to cultivate the talent she
has and not waste time and money on the
talent she does not possess.
Teach her to embrace every opportunity
for reading and to select carefully the
books that are elevating in their tone, and
above all avoid trashy novels.
The times have changed greatly in re-
gard to occupations open for employment
of women. In the days of not SO very
long ago there was only one occupation
that afforded girls and women an oppor-
tunity to earn living, and that was
teaching school. No matter what her
previous training had been about every
girl that had received few years in
strGction in district school felt that she
was competent to teach. Then they were
employed in the schools throughout the
length and breadth Of the land and often
at ridiculously small wages. They mo-
nopolized the summer schools to such an
extent that the schoolmaster was seldom
seen abroad other than in the winter
months when there was a premium paid
for Drawn and muscle to keep the unruly
boys in check who were only enrolled for
the winter term. A great change has
gradually taken place, and now, notwith-
standing fairly remuneratiye salaries are
paid, We are told that the crop of school
ma ans is short and that the demand will
soon exceed the supply. The reason for
this changed condition is obvious. A
woman now has many opportunities for
labor in various new fields of usefulness
opened up for her. The exacting, nerve
racking and soul grinding work OF in
structing and controlling and whipping
into shape large classes OF children is no
longer inviting. The girls are found in
stores as clerks, cashiers, bookkeepers
and stenographers. They study medi-
cine, law and for the ministry They are
found in factories, shops and printing Of
fees and make excellent employees.
Many are employed as telephone and
telegraph operators and there are but few
lines that employ large number OF labor
ers but you will find more or less women
enrolled in some part of the work. The
pay may not be as large as the teachers
now receives, and the hours of service
longer, still there is freedom and lack
of responsibility that makes the work
attractive than the exacting requirements
demanded of those who are called to per-
form the difficult task of teaching school.

LEARNING TO LIVE ALONE
By SUSIE VI. best

am learning the saddest lesson
A women's heart has known,
The lesson of silent patience
In learning to live alone
For the one that | loved the dearest
Was kissed by the Angel Pale,
And he turned from my side to folio,
The lead of strange new trail.
Sometimes in the quiet glancing
When | watch the stars arise,
My tears like terrible tempest
Brim over my aching eyes,
And out of my broken bosom
Old dreams come crowding up,
Till l fling myself face downward
And cry, "Oh, not this cup!"
And | sob in the lonely darkness
With grief uncontrolled ;
(For there is no peace in Promise
When our loved lie newly dead
| have neither star nor anchor,
And my heart is like stone,
For it's, oh, bitter sorrow,
This learning to live alone.

TO INVESTIGATE
Italian Ambassador Wants to Know
How Joseph L0aHtO Met His Death
WAS A LABORER NEAR ALEXANDRIA
Ran Amuck and Terrorized Community
Claimed he Committed Suicide After
He Mortality Wounded an Officer.

Washington, April 1.-THE Italian
ambassador has brought formally to the
attention of the state department the
death last Thursday, at little town not
far from Alexandria, Va, named Lor-
ton, Of Joeeph Leanto, an Italian labor
err, who himself had MORALLY wounded
George Malcolm, deputy sheriff, in re-
sisting arrest.
1t was at first claimed that Leanto,
who had run amuck and terrorized the
community, had committed suicide to
avoid arrest. Now the ambassador
represents to the state department that,
from the character of the wounds found
on Leanto's body, one in particular be-
ing in the hand, there seems good rea-
son to doubt the theory of suicide, and
that it is an open question whether the
Italian was not killed by mob.
Following the usual practice the state
department has communicated the am
bassador's note on the subject to the
governor of Virginia with a request for
an investigation and statement of facts.
