BESIDE THE GATE OF DREAMS.

AN idle youth one summer day
Went wandering alield--
Nor East nor West on any quest
That eye or thought revealed.
But on and OIL through bloom and
shin.
and down by shady streams.
Through lane and wood. until he stood
beside the Gate of Dreams.
What saw he there? Nay. rather ask
What saw he not and heard,
Hath mind perceived? Hath heart re-
ceived?
Hath soul been deeply stirred
Dy radiant things. by whisperings
From better lands, 1t seems?
All these he saw and heard In awe
Beside the Gate OF Dreams.
What Brought he back that summe-
day
From wandering afleld?
Nausht he can show or toll. know
OF things on earth revealed.
Nut more than gold. million fold
And all the world csteems
He holds the day he strayed away
BESIDE tho Gate of Dreams.

'slraw from the company at the re-
quest OF the mon: that tho men could
find nothing against his record and
that In justice 10 himself he would
stand trial at court martial If tho

court.
After discussing the matter with ono
or two regular army officers and sev-
eral local business men, the members
OF the company withdrew the letter

The heavy rains Of the past week

The heavy rains of the past week
or two and the cutting up of the
new maCademized street has made
many of the opinion that despite
the Improvement it IS not going to
be wet weather" street. The
Street Committee say this can be
ohTated when once the macadam
IS thoroughly rolled and packed.
Be this as it may, it strikes us that
it would be wise to put back the
stone crossings before the winter
weather sets in. The citizens
should be assured of the usual good
places to cross. If the street was
asphalt it would be another CUES

crossing can be provided than an

Without doubt Secretary Cortel-
you was we'll within the bounds
when he said that the country has
more to fear from a panic of legis-
lation than a panic induced by
financial conditions. Confidence
lies at the root of business. The
overthrow of confidence that has
been reflected in the recent fnan-
cial depression is due more to the
fact that the business interests of
the country realize they are ahoat
on a raft upon a stormy sea of legis-
lation than to any other one fact.
Confidence in the financial world
cannot be permanently restored
and maintained upon a firm basis
so long as the States are batting the
corporations. The great interests
look with confidence upon the
proposition of the President to have
Federal regulation Of corporations,
feeling that in this way they will
be placed under a central control
and be relieved of the uncertainty
of their present state. Corporate
regulation by the Government, to-
gether with wise financial legisla-
ton, may be counted upon to per
fectly restore the confidence of the
public.

But They Couldn't Stop Steam.

SAh AaSJ SSAidH SAOP
Admiral Sir Charles Sapier fiercely
opposed the introduction of steam pow
er into the royal navy and one day ex-
claimed in the house of commons, Mr..
Speaker. when we enter her majesty's
naval service and face the chances Of
war we go prepared to be hacked in
pieces by cutlasses. to be riddled with
bullets or be blown to bits by shot and
Shell. but, Mr.. Speaker, we do not go
prepared to be boiled alive" The last
words he brought out with tremen-
dous emphasis. Yet in a few years
Sir Charles Napier found himself in
command of the largest steam navy
that the world had ever seen.
Lord Stanley. subsequently the great
Lord Derby. presided over a select
committee of the house of commons
to examine into the state of steam
navigation. George Stephenson, the
eminent engineer. who was examined,
spoke Of the probability of steamships
crossing the Atlantic. Good heavens!
What do you say?" exclaimed Lord
Stanley. rising from his seat. III
steamships cross the Atlantic l will
eat the boiler of the first boat" That
pledge was never redeemed.

Mans War on Natural Beauty.

MANS war on Natural Beauty.
Today it is unfortunately perfectly
true that man is the only animal who,
instead of adjoining and identifying.
makes nature hideOus by his presence.
The fox and the squirrel may make
their homes in the wood and add to its
beauty in so doing, but when Alder
man Smith plants his villa there the
gods pack up their trunks and depart
They can bear it no longer. The bush
men can hide themselves and become
indistinguishable on a slope of bare
rock; they Irvine their little. naked
bodies together and look like a heap
Of dead sticks. But when the chimney
pot hat and the frock coat appear the
birds fly screaming from the trees.
This was the great glory of the Greeks
that they accepted and perfected ma
ture, as the Parthenon sprang out of
the limestone terraces of the AcrOpOlis,
carrying the natural lines of the rocks
by gradations scarce perceptible into
the finished human beauty of frieze
and pediment. Possibly some day we
shall again build our houses or dwell
ing places so simple and elemental in
character that they will fit in the hooks
of the hills or along the banks of
streams or by the edges of the woods
without disturbing the harmony of the
landscape or the songs of the BIRDS

Smyrna times. [volume] (Smyrna, Del.) 1854-1987, 1907-11-27

Smyrna can we'll boast of its ex-
cellent drinking water. Council is
given opportunity to earn of this
from the analyses taken from time
to time both at the Delaware
College laboratory and from noted
specialists. This is indeed
pleasant to know and should have
its effect in advertising our town.
Smyrna can cope with any of her
sister towns in the matter of good
water and town improvements.
With an ineXhaustible supply of
pure spring water, with an electric
light plant, gas plant, and sewage
system that go to complete an up
tO-date municipality, Smyrna
should be sought after not only as
a residence place, but as an advan-
tageous location for industries.
With the facilities above ment toned
can be added our railroad service
and our steamboat line. Surely nc
town in the state can offer better
inducements than Smyrna.
