ployed by one of the we'll known firms,
doing business on Que of the "Four
Corners" who tried to impress the
boys with his bravery by going in the
cemetery alone, in our walk to Duck
Greek. He did this several times. One
Saturday night our party started, the
brave clerk among us. When we came
to the cemetery he entered the first
gate, and We kept on the other side,
as far away as possible. When we
reached the entrance for carriages, we
heard yell that chilled our blood and
raised the hair on our heads. The next
moment our ''hero" came over the
fence, and went flying down the road
toward the town. Then great white
thing, that appeared as large as house
raised out of tie earth, near the gate
of the cemetery, and gave a groan that
made our teeth rattle. In an instant
every boy in that crowd was running
for town at speed that he never made
before. We never stopped until the
"Four Corners" were reached. Pc
destrians looked at us in wonder as we
flew by them. Sitting on box at the
Corners" we found our hero, white,
exhausted and without hat. He could
not talk but spnttared at us and
wanted to know if we saw cit" About
half an hour afterward we'll. known
policeman came by aud asked us why
we were not out at Duck Greek. Some
one answered something about it look
ing too much like rain. He gave us
the "horse laugh" and walked on. AS be
went down the street we noticed some
thing white hanging from under his
coat. 1t looked very much like part of a
sheet. For a long while after we took
our evening bath at the pond. The
clerk could not be persuaded to leave
the -Four Corners" after dark.

The uppermost topic before the
meeting of peninsula horticulturists
that have been in session at Chester
town, Md is how to deal with the
San Jose scale which is threatening
serious consequences to the fruit trees
in the middle aud lower parts of the
peninsula. Among those who took
part in discu sion, were Mr.. Levi Cooch
Cooch's Bridge, New Castle county,;
Professor f. d. Chester of the expert
ment station, Delaware College; Pro
fessor q. p. Close of the same college,
and E. H. Bancroft of Kent County,
who is we'll known as one of our fore
most fruit growers. The general opip-
ion favored the use of the lime, sui
phur and salt solution by spraying, as
the best remedy to keep the scale in
check and possibly eradicate it. The
problem that confronts our fruit grow
ers regarding this pest Is most serious.
The spraying is as tedious and as bur
densome as we'll as expensive and adds
to the labor and uncertainty of fruit
raising. Then again, it cannot be APP
piled by the unskilled or the remedy
will be worse than the disease. The
application of the remedy is not to be
left to the novice. We have known OF
orchards which have been practically
ruined because of an unskilled and
careless spraying of the lime, salt an6
sulphur solution. If this spraying
process is to come into general use, i
seems .tssss that it would be wise fol-
the Experiment Station to send out
corps of competent men to instruc
those farmers who do not know how i
should be employed. The prope
treating of the trees with the solution
is more than half the battle in tightine
the dreaded pest. Wilmington Even

Postmaster General Cortelyou says in
his annual report that more than tive

One New Years Eve the Band marched
to the Four Corners few minutes be-

tolled, dirge was played. When the
bell rang out the news of the birth of

before they had gone far they had to

Memorable Excursion 10 bombay Hook"
One year the Methodist Sunday
School decided to hold their annual
picnic on the Beach at Bomby Hook.
In those days the Bombay Hook Rail-
road was in operation, and this was
utilized to convey the members to the
bayside. The band was engaged to
furnish music, and, as it was one of
our first trips, it created considerable
excitement among the members One
beautiful morning we formed in march
ing order at the Hall and started up
Main Street to tine station, situated
near the M. E. Cemetery. The station
accommodations consisted of a small
shed, large enough to hold about a
half dozen people. The cars were
soon filled with as jolly a crowd OF
''picknickers" as ever Toasted on fried
chicken, Maryland biscuits and lemon
butter. The band occupied a freight
car and almost blew the top off in their
| efforts to be heard above the yells OF
the youngsters. We started amid
| toots from the engine. toots from the
horns, and yells from the boys. This
train did not claim the speed of 9
Twentieth Century Limited, but was
an accommodation-it accommodated
the boys occasionally by stopping long
enough to allow them to feast on the
berries near the track. At last We
reached the Beach and spent one o
the happiest days of our lives, IN boat
ing, fishing and bathing. That gooC

Maybe it is all in Gods great plan
tina sorrows n roubles come so
that we may think the more kindly
of one another. 1t is always difficult
to adjust the mind to that point of
view, but if we will but look at the
matter in the right wa we will see
that it is so. In prosperity and happi-
ness and ease we are apt to grow
selfish and th~oughtless, as indeed we
do. But in the hour when our neigh
Dor stands before us with bleeding
heart and tear blinded eyes, we for
get our animosities and resentments

kindness. Perhaps the time when we
have reason to thank God most is the
