Mrs. Story recalled characteristic
story Of Miss Mildred Lee When the
battlcship Tennessee, commanded by Ad-
mral )eWett, was at the New Orleans
wharf. the admiral rendered 4 reception
IN board to Mrs. Story and Miss Lee.
The United States flag hung across the
ship, and seeing it, Miss Lee, thinking
doubtless of her father. drew back in
stinctively and requested that the flag
be drawn aside that she might not have
% pass under it. Admiral Jewett re-
piled oh, no; | can not draw the flag
aside, but the flag will be honored by

under it," Recovering herself innne-
dately, Miss Lee graciously bowed and
passed under the flag. And now the
flag is honored." said Admiral Jewett
and he saluted most graciously the

B. Matthews Success.

B, H. Matthews, the enterprisine
druggist, rather than await the ordinary
methods of Introduction, urged the DR..
Howard Co. to secure a quick sale fol
their celebrated specific for the cure of
constipation and dyspepsia by offering
the regular SOC bottle at half price.
The wonderful success of this plan
was a great surprise even to B. H. Mat.
thews and to-day there are scores of
people here in Milford who are using
and praising this remarkable remedy.
So much talk has been caused by this
offer, and so many new friends have
been made for the specific, that the DR..
Howard Co. have authorized druggist
Matthews to continue this special half
price sale for a limited time longer.
In addition to selling a SOC bottle of
DR.. Howard's specific for 25c, B. H.
Matthews has so much faith in the
remedy that he will refund the money
to anyone whom it does not cure.

Hunting Wild Cattle.

1t has been many years since this sec
ton of Delaware has witnessed an actual
hunt to death of wild cattle; but on We'd
nesday last the woodland between Mil
ford and Houston was the scene of a real
wild west chase, with lasso, horse, rifle
and dogs combined. Early in the morn
ing Henry Pusey, Roy Sapp and others
fully equipped for the hunt, started to
where the wild steers used for the past
month, and soon had them under way
and running in the open. Roy Sapp then
displayed his powers with the lasso and
skillfully brought both animals to their
knees, and they were soon dispatched
They were the property of John R. Davis
of Milford, from whom they escaped last
fall, and they have since been feeding on
succulent young clover, corn and other
crops Of farmers residing between Milford
and Houston, and keeping in the woods
for shelter.

The Federal Government has III
vestigated the actual condition ex.
isting in the chesapeake Bay oys-
ter boats, the commanders of which
have been charged with extreme
cruelty to men men who have been
"shanghied' and forced to work
against their desire. The tales of
cruelty appear to be born out by
the facts as found by the United
States revenue steamer Window,
which has returned with two cap
tains of the oyster pungies and twen-
ty men from various boats where
they were being maltreated. 1t
looks now as if the lawless element
of the oystermen in Chesapeake Bay

HARRINGTON.

Looking back only a few years and com
pairing the present with tbs past, those who
have lived in Harrington for short lift
! time, can note many changes in both the
architecture and the people themselves
Twenty years ago Harrington was begiAniug

Then corn. wheat and some grass constituted
the bulk OF the farming interests, while tim
Der and lumber were the chief articles for the
town and surrounding countrys prosperity.
But now the large tracts OF timber are gone;
the swamps have been cleared and In their
place well titled farms with comfortable
buildings for man and beast dot the entire
district, and they bring rich crops OF not only
graiB, but grass, fruit and vegetables, which
have brought profit TO the farmer; and, as
result, prosperity to the mercantile business
Of the town. Only a decade has passed and

this is the result Of better methods Of farm
ing which brings prosperity; but what has
brought about these better methods? I'm
doubtediy better education and reading the

Free Passes Abolished.

No more effective blow has been deliv.
cred against grafters and corruptiontsts
of all kinds than the recent order issued
by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
by which free passes will hereafter be
abolished. There are indications that
other railroads, and even street car lines,
will follow suit, in which case the polit-
ical and official spongers will be out in
tie cold, sure enough There is no rea
son in the world,-that is none that an
honest man would care to advance,-in
favor of the practice of giving free passes
to public officers and political leaders and

many strong reasons why it should not
