There is no eye so dull but it can spar kle at the thought of some sacrifice. There is no ear so deaf but it quivers at the wall of anguish. There is no hand so weak but 1t grasps the hand of some other 1uman being in friend ship. There is no human heart so dead but in it somewhere can be found af- lection pulsating with life. Yes, the lowest form of human being Is infinite ly above the highest form of the brute creature, for In every human heart Is the trembling needle of the moral com pass pleading with man to be a better man than he is and showing him his duty to his fellow men. Honor all men," On account of their powers of affection, however meager they may be, h onor all men.
 Judge Not Harshly.
 But there is another reason why we should heed the injunction of my text. We should honor all men because of the bitter struggles through which most Of them have gone before they have yielded to the calls of sin and cut themselves adrift from their own higher ideals and from the love and respect of their fellow men. 1t Is easy to sit superciliously upon the Self, righteous thrones of our own gildedf egotism and look down upon the fall ell anu tHb lOW dUu bbJt we WOuld not have done as they did If we had been in their place." It Is a far dif- ferent matter to have had tho same environment as they and to have turned out differently
 The older I gorw the less harshly I judge the moral weaknesses and short comings of those who fall into sin. In nearly every case I have investigated have found that these so-cal1ed social att tfor. afg I,aI arfu in fra ffu uf.A tations. inJustices practiced against tn em. which would have flung me if in my own strength l had been com pelled to contend against them. Then I might have turned out as badly as they did. This fact is not only true about the men and women whom I meet in daily life, but also of those whose crimes have become the hor- TOT and the loathing of two hemis- phe eres. If you will investigate the causes of crime with an impartial mind you will be compelled to become more and more lenient in your criti- cisms. as all men should.
 Men do not start out intending to be bad. They do not want to be ene- mics of society, but the temptations of life sometimes flame up In the blood on account of the sins of their ances- tors or on account of their own evil surroundings, or inJustices are prac- ticed upon them, or wrongs have been done them. They are battered and beaten and trodden in the dust until at last they arise, desperate. Then their evil passions are let loose. and their hate of the world breaks like destroying confiagration. So. my friends before you judge men harshly think of the temptations which they have had to meet. Think how made

 DIR. FALMAGE'S SERMON

 BY THE REV FRANK DEWITT TALMAGE. D. D.

p1y text takes such a deep hold upon all our human sympathies is because he gathers most of his information from living men. You cannot imagine Peter as a bookworn. You cannot think of him as gowned and capped graduate of some classical university. You cannot think of him as a hermit or cloistered recluse Peter was essentially a man of affairs, man among men. When he came to town or village I do not be- lieve he sought the retirement of his room, where he could read and rest, but with that intense energy of his he used to go to the place where the people were gathered. There he would talk and draw them out After awhile he would get them telling him the innermost secrets of their hearts. Then when he was thrown among the wealthier classes, as he surely must have been at times, he drop ped the fathom line into the depths of their hearts as well. And if I were. to send warning to my brother ministers I would make this blunt statement: If the Christian pulpit Is making any mistake today, 1t is that some of the ministers are becoming so dgnihed that they are not willing to take off their black clothes and don tweed suits and wander about in their vacations incognto among all classes of people. The true preacher must get acquainted with living men or else he cannot be a helpful messenger of Christ
 Now, after Peter, the rough. uncut dia- mond among the apostles had spent so much of his life among all classes of people he sums up his experience in one general law He says,s Honor all men," he declares that one of the chief duties of the true Christian is to learn to re- spect man, no matter where-he may be found. As there are so many people who in the social as well as the theologi- cal sense are talking about the total depravity' of man, I am today going to speak about.man as the noblest creature God has ever produced. Thus I shall try to point out four or five reasons why we should have a universal respect for the human race. s
 Mans Supremacy.
 First I bid you honor mans intellect ual supremacy over the beasts of the field, the birds of the air. the fish of the sea and the mineral and. vegetable worlds. If there is emphatically one ani- nal to whom God has given the right to rule over all other living animals and over the elements, that creature is man.. Though man can aptly be likened to 8 farmer with a large landed estate which he has not all under cultivation, yet more. and more, like Joshua with the land of Canaan, he is going up to possess it. He is reaching out and continuing to reach farther out and is making the wealth of the land and of the sea and of the

PRETTY HOSIERY THAT
MAY BE MADE AT HOME

The insetting Of effective lace motifs
in stockings is not difficult thing to
accomplish. Some large design, like
a butterfly. is a good one to practice
on. and often small remnant Of
heavy black silk lace may be found
which viii supply several such orna-
ments. Each bit of the design should
be firmly buttonholed IN place before
any cutting away is done, or ones
work will be wasted. When securely
fastened to the fabric. the stocking
NAV then be turned on the wrong side
and the material carefully clipped
with a pair of sharp scissors. The
edge may then be turned back and
again made fast by another row Of
buttonholing sasst .su@
Three upright lines of lace insertion
form an attractiYe method for the
amateur workers, each row finished
with a lace motif. and the center line
of insertion extending several inches
higher up on the stocking than the
other two. There is almost no end
to the pretty fancies which a clever
girl may carry out along these lines
IL she has a taste for fine sewing and
the necessary patience.
White silk stockings are coming 3n,
embroidered with gold bands, which
start at the instep and reach almost
to the knee
Pendants OF pink coral are set in
diamonds suspended by airily delicate
chains Of gold, just long enough to fit
around the neck and fall an inch or
two below the throat.

BLIND MUSICIAN
WAS DISCHARGED
Case Against Him in City
Court Was Not Pressed
by Prosecutors

The case Of John Z. Cashin, the
blind musician. whose figure is well
known to Market street. which was to
have been heard in City Court today,
was dismissed on the request Of As
sistant City Solicitor satterthwaite.
There were no witnesses, and Mr.. SAT-
terthwaite asked the court to warn
defendant about playing his organ on
street corners where merchants are
complaining, and to tell him to remain
away.
Herbert L. Rice appeared for Cashin
and objected to the warning He con-
tended that his client had a license
to peddle and that he was not violat-
ing any law by disposing Of his wares
and attracting attention to himself
by playing his organ. The organ in
question has been mumed according
20 Mr. Rice, and future trouble is
not anticipated. The case was dis
missed without the warning.

For celebration OF this sort the
bride should wear her wedding gown.
II possible; II not. a now one fashioned
after the same model. sometimes the
bride and groom take the opportunity
to repeat their welding journey and re-
vite the spirit of romance in welded
courtship.
Cotton. Of course. enters into all
forms of decoration for a first anni-
versary. and. as the material Is mex
pensive. yards and yards Of it can be
used. flowers lending an artistic touch
TO the whole.
The second anniversary involves pa
per as the special feature OF the cele-
bration. Paper flowers map appro-
priatelv take the place of natural ones
on such an occasion.
The present for a leather wedding
need no suggestion, as burnt leather
articles. purses and shopping bags pa
turally recur to mind.
At a wooden wedding the aim is to
have everything as sylvan as possible.
Foliage should be used in decorating
parlors and dining room. and a birch
bark canoe may be filed with sweet
peas or wooden violets. Wooden pals
and tubs containing growing plants,
etchinRs Of woodland scenes, book
racks for tables. and a practicable
tool chest are all suitable for a wooden
wedding.
Souvenirs at a tin wedding may take
the form of tin dippers, dust pans,
wire broilers. cake cutters. wash boil
ers. pie plates and the dozens of other
utensils that one may find now-a-daya
TO add to the convenience of a house
hold.
A silk and fine linen wedding re-
quires no special mention. the possi-
bilities in fine napery. handlSerchiefs
and drawn work being so wide Tho
same is true of crystal and china we'd
dinRs.
The silver wedding is usually mark.

sent out on cards engraved and edged
with silver Az the close of the din.

health of the bride and groom is

Gold lettering replaces the silver OF

Yellow decorations are used through

The diamond celebration is rare

The Pennsylvania Railroad offers most attractive
tour leaving the East September g. arriving in the
Park on the 9th and remaining until the 18th, al
lowing FIVE and onehalf days of perfect sightseeing
The return trip, by way of the bustling cities of
the North Pacific Coast, through Oregon, Idaho,
Utah, and the scenic trail of Colorado IS enhanced
in interest by the charm of the season.
Excursion tickets, including all necessary ex-
penses, will be sold from Wilmington at 1921: and
at proportionate rates from other cities.
A completely-appointed special train in charge of
Tourist Agent and Chaperon, for the exclusive use
of the party adds to the uniqueness of the trip
As the membership of the party is necessarily

THE LONG SLEEVE WILL
REIGN NEXT WINTER

The newest gowns seen among ele-
giant women do not have the long
slope of shoulder. All Japanese ef-
fects have disappeared, and sleeves
reach to the thumbs Shirred un-
lined tulle or mousseline sleeves almost
covering the hand, are finished at the
shoulder with a smart little putting
giving quite a narrow. high effect oy
contrast to the kimona droop. Many
are the white gowns covered with
shawls or huge scarfs Of colored chif-
fon. some plain, some with printed or
painted borders. Filet and Irish,
mingled with null ambroideries, still
hold their important place, and so
many redingotes and loose sacks of
Irish lace are worn. loaded with
fringes and passementeries. that one

apparel of a handful Of women seen
by chance at a restaurant in the
Boise or about the betting booths at
Longchamps.
Now that il is pretty sure, how
ever. that more long sleeves are to oe
used than for several seasons, it is
well to remember that the length of
the sleeve has a good deal to do with
the apparent height of the wearer. In
one of the suit departments the other
day one of the heads advised a short
woman to have a long sleeve that
came to the back of the hand cut OF

Rules For Airship Travel.

When q passenger on an airship
desires to commit suicide by jumping
overload, he will please notify the
captain, who will pick out a soft spot
in the ocean on which to alight.
Many careless %euicidists have smeared
themselves on the Eiffel Tower and
other high points of interest, causing
the local authorities much needless
expense and worry in bringing the
bodies down to earth.
Passengers will find clothes-pins at
accessible places on all decks, to be
used when the ship passes over the
Chicago stock yards.
Any passenger who makes the in
sane remark that "airships come
high. but we have to have them will
be arrested at the first stop.
When a passenger thinks that he
sees a mirage of an iceberg, he will
know that he is nearing the clouds
over Boston.
In case of air sickness passengers
are cautioned against leaning over
the rail. The Board of Health ir
kokomO, Ind, or some other seaport,
might object.
Airships do not descend at Pitts
burg. Spiral stairways leading dowr
to the city have been cut out of thu
smoke.
Passengers should not be alarmed
at the sudden rise of the ship wher
passing over Lincoln, Nebraska. Th'
great elevation attained is due to
celebrated, local, hot-air producer.

In the convention of 1880, at Chicago,
the "old guard" made a desperate
effort to nominate General Grant for
a third term. The general led all
other candidates for 50 ballots. The
unit rule received it's death blow in
this convention, and on the Seth bal.
lot James r. Garfield was nominated.
Blaine was again a candidate and re-
ceived almost as many votes up to
the 35th ballot as General Grant.
Then the ozark horse'' carried off the
prize. In 1884, at Chicago, Mr..
Blaine realized his ambition and was
nominated for the presidency, but was
beaten at the polls by his democratic
opponent, Grover Cleveland. The
convention of 1883 lasted six days.
John Sherman, of Ohio, led for seven
ballots. On the eighth he was beaten
by Benjamin Harrison, OF Indiana.
At Minneapolis, in 1892, President
Harrison was renominated on the first
ballot, but was beaten at the polls by
Mr.. Cleveland. William Mckinley
was nominated on the first ballot at
St. Louis in 1896, and renomin ated
unanimously at Philadelphia in 1900.

In the first national convention of
the republican party there were two
candid ates for the presidential nomi-

Lean was the preference Of the old.

OF his defeat.

Back to the schools with sobered tread
The girls and boys are tramping now:
With mufi1ed sigh and chastened head
They wend their way and stop their row.
Vacations past. and all their JOY
Is cut of short. and work once more
The portion is Of girl and boy,
So do you marvel they are sore?
Back to the schools. the weary grind
OF discipline for growing Wills,
Where boys and girls the knowledge find
That orders way the law fulflls,
That each to each a duty owes,
That each must pay or suffer wrong.
And so the long procession goes.
So run the weary ranks along.
