DOCTOR is CABIN BOY.
Milwaukee Physician Quits Large
Practice for $40 Job at Sea.

New York.--ft was the fascination
of the Pacific, the undeniable attrac-
ton of endless blue skies and rolling
seas that caught Daniel Wylie, a Mil
waukee physician, and caused him, as
SO many others have done, to secure
employment that would keep him in
the Sandwich islands. Less than q
year ago Wylie, about So years old,
shipped out of this port for Honolulu
as cabin boy" aboard the American
bark Nuuanu, Capt. Joselyn. Now he
is purser of an island steamer plying
Between Honolulu, Maui, Hawaii and
other islands.
The Nuuanu has come back. Capt.
Josselyn, an elderly skipper, who
lives at Duxbury, Mass, told of his
physician cabin boy. He said: He
made good cabin boy; never saw a
better one to clean brasses than
Wylie. He was good doctor, too, by
all accounts. A man about IS years
old, should imagine. He got $40 a
month as cabin boy and said he left
practice of $4,000 a year to make
the sea trip. He was shattered in
health. you see; nerves gone; worked
too hard. Well, naturally, you can
see what 1t led to. His health gave
way and he was advised to go east
and take long sea trip.
Seems his wife was dead and he
had LETT two children out west there.
Wylie stood the test well. When we
were out few days he was very bad
and could hardly get about. After
that he braced up, however, and stead
lily recovered his health"

They do not help to build schoo
houses for your childreni the Ioca
merchant does. They do not assist IL

local merchant does,
But there are some things the cata
logue houses do for you and thu
Arst and greatest OF these Is to assisi
/, materially In bankrupting your com
munity. The dollars they take ava,
never come back to you. They will
never help to make a city of your vii
lage. They will never increase tn,
value Of your real-estate holdings BY
making local improvements.
Let us look at the subject from the
standpoint of the farmer, for 1t is the
farmer who is the greatest patron oil
the catalogue houses.
The town or village one, two Of
three miles from his home is his mar.
ket for the butter and eggs and Other
produce OF his farm. The half dozen
or more merchants Of the town, each
anxious to obtain his full share of the
business OF the community, maintain
q competition that affords to the
farmer at all times ton prices for the
products of his farm, It is these hall
dozen merchants that make farm
profits possible; the profits are in no
way due to the catalogue houses Of
the cities.
But the farmer pers,sts in sending
his dollars 60 the city. He wants a
buggy, or a set Of harness. or pair
Of stockings, or any OF the necessities
or luxuries Of life, and to get them he

future. You will have to look but a
little way ahead to see the result, and
1t will not be an attractive picture that
greets you. The prosperous COM
munity of which you are now a part
will fade like the summer flowers be-
fore the winter winds, and Almost as
quickly.
It is the fact that there is market
within close proximity to your farm
that makes your acres valuable. The
men who maintain this local market
for you are the men who cause the
railroad trains to stop at your town.
Take them away and soon the town
will be wiped OF the map. The
churches will close for lack Of support
The schools will cease to be pride.
and your sons and daughters will lack
the opportunity that is theirs by right
of BIRTH and your acres, that are now
valuable because they lie in close
proximity to market, will show Q
depreciation that will astonish you.
Your interests are identical with
those Of the merchants OF your town.
BY sending your dollars to the city
you may cause the merchants to close
their establishments, but when they
are forced to Ibis they can pack their
stock of goods and go elsewhere, but
you cannot pack up your farm and
move it; your acres must lie in the
bed you have builded for them whether
It be fair or foul, and 1t Is up to you"
Mr.. Farmer. to spend your money at
home, and in this way you can solve
the greatest problem that now con-
fronts this country.
Will you do it?

MAY YET GET
THE FRANCHISE
But Trolley Company Must
Keep State Read Forty
Feet Wide

It is probable that the Levy Court may
yet allow the Smyrna. Kent County and
Delaware Bay Traction Company to con-
struct a trolley road along the State road
from Delaware City TO Duck Creek de-
spite the objection made by the Levy
Court on Tuesday to granting the fran
chise. But it is certain that the court will
not permit the company to construct its
railway on parts of the road that are not
wider than forty feet.
Trolley facilities south Of Delaware Cry
have been desired by the people Of that
section for a long time. and while many
Of the property owners along the state
road there object 70 the company occupy

the line built they will deed a private

pear anxious at this time to accept this
offer believing that the land would not be
contiguous TO the road, thereby removing
them from the main artery Of traffic
south. The county may force the COM
pany to accept the land as a majority Of
the members Of the Levy Cour. are deter
mined that the private corporation shall
not build it's line on any section Of road
that is not more than forty feet wide.
It is believed that the company will later
accept such franchise from the county
and then build its line on private property
only where it cannot maintain the re-
quired width of the highway.
1t is the intention Of the company later
to extend It's line to Rehoboth. on the
way down It viii construct branch lines

sorts in the lower counties and proposes

they have the capital required to carry
out the undertaking and are anxious to
obtain the desired franchises.
