Tim and Zip Mt the Party,

Tim and Zip were two handsome
and enterprising pet coons. the con-
slant companions and playmates of
Ruth and James Saunders.
If they climbed the cherry tree to
gather the cherries, Tim and Zip went
up, too, enjoying the fruit with them.
Since they could 60 out farther on the
branches, they could reach the reddest
and most luscious of the cherries that
had ripened in the fullest sunshine.
II they dropped one, instead Of tax
ing another from the midst of plenty,
they would climb laboriously down to
the ground for 1t.
There was not a little excitement
among the children one morning, when
an Invita- ton came to jamie and Ruth
to q birthday party from their little
neighbor, John Brown.
John lived on an adjoining farm
about a mile distant.
The children were ready in time to
make an early start they were go
ing to walk across the fields
They had not gone far when noise
caused them to look back, and they
saw the two small figures Of their be-
loved pets not far behind them.
They knew 1t would never do to take
such playmates with them, so with a
good deal OF reluctance they threw
some bits Of sod and small sticks at
the two coons, driving them back, as
they thought.
The children then went their way,
and in the fuss and excitement Of the
party forgot the animals.
BY and by Mrs. Brown announced
supper. A tray Of delicious ice cream
was brought In and distributed among
the guests.
All at once the children heard peaIs
Of laughter from the outside, and ran
out to see what was the matter. A
strange scene met their eyes.
Sitting by the two freezers were Tim
and Zip, solemnly helping themselves.
dipping ND the ice cream with their lit
tie black paws.
Mrs. Brown stood aghast, with
spoon in one hand and an empty tray
In the other. and the servants were
shaking with laughter.
James and Ruth went to the rescue.
taking possession Of their mischievous
pets. while Mrs Brown finished serv-
ing the ice cream.

The Land of ANYHOW,

The Land of Anyhow.
Beyond the Isle of What's-the-
Where Slipshop Point is now,
There used to be. when l was young,
The Land of Anyhow.
Don't care was king of all this realm
cruel king was he!
For those who served him with good
heart
He treated shamefully
When boys and girls their tasks would
slight,
And cloud poor mothers brow,
He'd say, Don't care. It's good enough
Just do it anyhow"
But when In after life they longed
To make proud fortune bow,
He let them find that fate neer smiles
On work done anyhow.
For he who would the harvest reap
Must learn to use the plow.
And pitch his tent a long way
From the Land of Anyhow!

A Public Inspection.

In response to an invitation from the
Light and Water Commission the pub
lie inspected the Improvements made
in the Light and Water plant of Mil
ford last Monday night, and it was
revelation to many who had never been
in the works before. The new engine
Of $50 horse power ran without a tre-
NOR. driving the two Westinghouse
dvnamos of 100 kilOwstts, without ap-
parent effort. The plant as remOdeled
has capacity of double what it was,
and the cost in fuel is not expected to
be any more than it was under the old
form. when the old engines were work
ing beyond their capacity. Few towns
have a lightand water plant equal to
the one owned by the town Of Milford
It is paying all operating expenses, also
the int, rest on the cost Of construction
and the betterments, and then has
net earning of over six per cent. on it'
cost. This speaks well for the manage
ment Of the plant, which is largely due
to the engineer, w. 7. Banning.

Mrs. Reed Loses Her Suit Against the
Queen Anne's Railroad Company.

In the Supreme Court at Dover last
week the judgment of the Superior
Court of Sussex county in the case OF
Mary E. Reed VS. the Queen Anne's
Railroad Company was reversed. The
suit was brought by Mrs. Reed TO re-
cover damages from the RAILROAD COM
panv for the death of her husband,
John Reed, who was killed at the Fed
eral street crossing of the cOmpany's
tracks in Milton.
The case was stubbOrnly fought by
both sides. former Attorney.GenerSl K.
C. White appearing for the plaintiffand
Charles w. Cullen, Esq for the defen-
dant company. The trial was had at
the October term 1908, in this county
and the jury rendered a verdict for
Mrs. Reed and fixed the damages at
S., 900 90 Subsequently argumeot was
heard on ametiOn for new trial which
was refused by the court. The case was
then taken to the Supreme Court by
Mr.. Cullen on writ of error and the
case was argued at the last Jane term
of the Supreme Court. Judge Boyce
read the opinion of the court on We'd
nesday and It is one Of the most inter-
esting and valuable opinions the Su-
preme Court has rendered. The judg-
ment of the court below is reversed, the
Supreme Court holding that the court
below erred in refusing to grant non
suit. Thus the judgment of the jury is
annulled and the costs fall upon Mrs.

Looks Like a Steamboat.

Last week a meeting was held in the
Office Of Draper, Davis & Co., at which
a few leading spirits discussed the needs
of a steamboat line between Milford
and Philadelphia. One or two persons
took a narrow view of the matter and
ouposed a line of steambO from Mil
ford. on the ground that the people OF
this vicinity would not patronize the
stores, but would make trips to the city
and purchase what they require there.
Well. that is a selfish way to look at
the matter but it would not bear the
point Of argument as, it was shown
that the farmers are the ones to get the
benefits from the boat by direct increase
IN the net returns for their produce.
The merchant saves in freight also, and
both are benefited. The meeting ap-
pointed Mr.. Frank Richards and Mr.
b. f. B. Woodall a committee to ascer-
tain the requirements for establishing
boat from here. They are to report
at a meeting next Thursday eve Every
farmer in this part of Delaware should
take some stock in the enterprise. Ovel
$1,000 was in sight for the enterprise al

night, which was called at very shOr'
notice,
