the Newspapers.

4, Two men were arguing hotly on
street corner. Suddenly they
threw of their coats and began to
fight. In a moment both their
faces were covered with blood.
Twostrangers, rushing between
them, stopped the fight, and de-
Imanded, to know what the trouble
was.

"says if a mans wife and mother
both fell overheard it would be the
mans duty to save his mother and
let his wife shift for herself. /

"He's right" said the first
stranger. "a mans mother is old
and weak. She should be saved
first"
but a man promises his wife
at the altar to look after her above
all OInef women"
"We owe most to our mothers.
They brought us into the world.s
NO. We owe most to our wives.
Consider what they do for us.
Why"
"Ah, you talk foolish"
"Abuse amt argument.a
A policeman appeared.
whats the matter here?" he
asked.

they're arguing about whether if
q mans wife and mother both fell
overheard the man ought to save
the wife and let the mother 90. or
vice versa"
"Hi," said the policeman. she

But suddenly loud, calm voice |
rose above the uproar.

NEWARK, Oct. 4-Delawares foot
ball squad have been practicing hard
all this week In preparation for the
game Saturday on Monday, owing to
the bad weather and the poor condi-
tion of the field. only signal practice
was gone through, followed by a short
run by both squads
Tuesday nights work consisted of
tackling the dummy signal work fol-
lowed by long scrimmago between
the Varsity and scrub teams.
Tonight Jack Huxley, captain Of the
'01 team, the best team that has rep
resented ola Delaware in years, was
out coaching. He seemed to instlll
new life into the Varsity, who have
taken on a sort Of a slump since SAT-
urday. He gave the back field lots Of
attention In handling kicks, as Will
lliamson, being particularly strong in
the kicking line This year will no doubt
resort TO this department OF TIC game
for most of her gains on Saturday.
Williamson has the best team in years
this season, which was shown last
Saturday when she defeated the
strong Ursinus team on their own
grounds by the score of TO o. Their
lhHl nillt quarter NfnIltu a goal from
the field In the last five minutes OF
the game. Delaware will put forth ev-
cry effort to win this game, as she has
never been defeated by the Williamson
team Delaware won last years game
by the score OF II to o. and her many
admirers hope she viii duplicate the
trick again this year. This will prob
ably be the last appearance of the
Delaware team In Wilmington this
season and every one should turn out
and give the boys from the state coll
lege a royal send-off The people Of
Wilmington seem Indifferent to college
athletics and Il is hoped that they will
get out of this state by Saturday, as
The management has gone to a great
expense to bring the games 10 that city.
After the kicking practice yesterday
Coach Huxley lined the two teams up.
Taylor and Wingert were not out, ow-
ng to sickness and Robin was put I'm

FAMOUS PROVERBS ABOUT LOVE

Vanity ruins more women than love.
Love Is the history Of q woman's life.
The man who can govern a woman
can govern a nation.
Women, cats and birds are creatures
that waste most time on their toilet.
The deepest love is that which pro-
fesses least.
Women is the sweetest present which
God has given to man.
Love can hope where reason would
despair.
A man cannot possess anything better
than q good woman, or anything worse
than q bad one.
Hearts may agree, though heads
differ.
A beautiful woman pleases the eye,
q good woman pleases the heart-onei Is
q jewel, the other q treasure.
A lass that has many wooers oft fares
the worst.
However talkative a woman may be,
love teaches her silence.
Love ~overlooketh faults and failings.
The woman who plays with the love
OF a loyal man is a traitor to her sisters;
she may close his heart forever against
all confidence in the sex.
True love desires no caress save from
the one loved.
Women is the salvation or destruction
Of the family.
All love greatens and glorifes.
Woman is the dwelling place of re-
ligion, and communicates it to the
young.
A wifel q mother! two magic words.
comprising the sweetest source OF a
mans felicity.
The heart Of a loving woman is a
golden sanctuary. where often there
reigns an idol of clay.
All women are good-good for moth
ing or good for something.
So long as n loves, one for forgives.
Woman is the most perfect when the
most womanly.
Love is like the moon-when it does
not increase it diminishes.

ment aud you can accomplish some
thing. but not Immediately will you see
the results of your efforts while il rest:
with the men who are more than in
different to the movement.
Now is the time to sgitate some of the
many needed new laws which we will
expect our newly elected Senators and
Assemblymen to give us this Winter,
aud why not get some pledges before
election? The changes in location laws
of the State. restricting the number OF
locations to each individual, aud the
manner Of and when the boundaries
should be marked. A direct primary
law for the nomination of officers, and
the doing away with the standing of a
man up and pledging him to some mar
row. bigotted ideas of some political
boss. Let the people say who shall be
their candidates, and that regardless OF
whether he can swallow all the planks
of the political platform of the party
to which he pins his faith. This
practice is n greatly to be de-
plored. If a man is a Democrat, Silver
man or Republican that should be a
sufficient guarantee for his fitness for
political favor regardless Of whether he
can sanction every fancy of some politi-
cal boss or renegade who may have au
ak to grind and thus procure the
machinery TO do it with.
We have witnessed such a spectacle
in the Democratic State Convention
held here this Fall. Does any one pre-
tend to say that the present State ticket
would nave been put forth if the nomi-
nations had been made by a direct
primary instead of by n boss-ridden
convention in which the fine Italian
hand of the Senior Senator was so
plainly to be seen in every line and
sentence of the platform to which every
candidate from the Constable up were
pledged to swallow as a whole, al n
of the conditions of his being nomi-
udbcu lHCu We haNO bhC LhCPAO4AOhb
party following in the identical plan at
Tonopah and in the County Conven-
ton here.
That certain general principles of the
party should be enunciatsd and the can
didates be expected to carry them into
effect is all well and good, but when a
convention is so dominated as to Be
compelled to make endorsements OF
which are not true, and which are
not facts, then the candidates should at
least be given the privilege Of saying
that so far as the pledges were consist
ent with facts he would endorse them,
and no further. But what do we care
about platforms anyway? We want
men in Off e, not politicians; states
men, men endowed with the instinct to
do right and whatever seems best to
them in the interest of good govern
ment for the greatest number, and this
a direct primary law gives us. and with
out any narrow endorsement Of narrow
party platforms.
