Continuing. the report says:
I'm making the assessment for 1905,
the Levy Court did not include any
negro school tax assessment. Hereto
fore this levy has always been made,
but upon advice Of the attorney-gen-
eral, the assessment has been omitted.
During the year the Levy Court is
sued bonds to the amount of $4,000
for the benefit of the county workhouse,
which bonds were dated on July 10,
1906, and made payable July 1, 1880, in
denomination+of $1,000 each, with inter-
est at the rate of four per cent. per
annum. This makes a total issue Of
bond for the workhouse OF S275.0O0. In
our examination, we found that the
trustees of the county workhouse had
paid of bonds TO the amount Of S26,000,
leaving an actual amount due on June
s0 1907. Of $4,000. our report does
not show these payments, as they were
paid by the trustees Of the county
workhouse out Of moneys accumulated
by them.
I'VE herewith submit a comparative
statement Of some OF the disburse-
ments made by the Levy Court during
the year: ~ ~

STREET
BRIDGE OPEN
TO TRAVEL

Eleventh street bridge. spanning the
Brandywine creek and connecting the
lower end of the Ninth ward with the
city proper, was opened to trolley traf-
hc Monday afternoon at o'clock after
having been undergoing repairs for
several days. The repair work on the
draw was done much sooner than was
expected. The old single gear was
taken out and the new double gearing
installed in its place by the Levy Court
in order to facilitate the work Of oper-
ating the draw. During the time the
bridge was undergoing repairs the troll
ley company was obliged to make a
change in its schedule. The old sched-
ule has now been restored and the
bridge is being used with fervent
thanks by those who were obliged 20
use the Market street bridge while the
Eleventh street bridge was closed.

Keep Your Troubles Inside.

Many man gets into the habit of
carrying his troubles in his face. The
eyes tell it, the drOop of the lip speaks
it, the bowed head declares it, the very
grip of the hand reveals it, and the
football is full of it. He has run up
the flag at half-mast, and ne carries it
everywhere, so that his whole little
world is compelled to know his sorrow.
Is this naturaI2 Possibly. Is it wisep
Probably not. Is it fairp Surely not.
Is it sign of weakness? UndOubt-
edly it is. Is there better way?
Surely there is. First man must
make up his mind to expect his share
of trouble, and perhaps little more.
Then he should make up his mind to
bear his trouble manfully, |. g., with
patience, with courage, and with hope.
The world has enough trouble of its
own; let us not add to its burden! It
should be the slm of every Christian
man and woman to become strong,
and when strength is won to use that
strength, in bearing the burdens OF
others. Every sorrow mastered, every
burden borne inside instead Of OUT
side, makes as stronger, and leaves the
world brighter. Learn to emile, get
the habit of it; learn to sing, make it
also habit; and y. u will be surprised
how much brighter 1t makes the world,
not only to others. but to VOursolveSi

den and light up the way Christian

Gossip.

More deadly than the plague, more
evil than the open attacks of the high
wayman. mare cowardly than the
stealth of the poisoner, are the lying
tongues of gossip, that ugly thing that
feeds upon malice and perverted sus-
picion, and that grows by what it feeds
upon.
No city is immune from the corro-
sion of gossip. No person, no lnstitu-
tion, is safe from its Shiny touch.
Evil rumors. springing apparently out
Of thin air into palpable form, spread
like wild6re, undermining the credit of
q bank or business institution, dam
ming the fair name of q woman, or as
sailing the integrity of q man.
Somebody starts these false reports.
They do not leap into being full-pano-
piled with ell their ugly lies. They
start in malicious insinuation, grow
into positive form, and presently &c
hurting about the city, manning and
killing wherever they touch.
Pascal defiEed gossip as putting
two and two together and making II
fve." But that is only the start of it
Presently you find somebody putting
two and two together and making ten
then the next person adds his diseased
suspicion and his envy, and makes it
hundred. And In the beginning ther
lis not always two and two to add to
gether: the fountainhead of street gos
sip will do just as well with nough
and nought, which he-or she-and
equal 70 ton.
