FREDERICA, Feb. ia new de-
parture in the social life OF lower Del
aware was introduced last week and
was both unique and humorous from
beginning TO end. It was an "old
maids and old bachelors party orr
ginated by John S. Reynolds. a popular
old bachelor Of Frederick. When the
guests whom he had invited responded
they practically filled the house and
played finch. euchre and 'old maids" i"
amid much dignifed hilarity. One old
fellow was present who has not looked
in the direction of a woman FOR forty
years and his very presence and en-
trance into the spirit of the occasion
gave life 10 the rumor that he has de-
cided to surrender his abominable idea
that a man is in luxury when he Is
In single harness. There were many
genuhoctions and curtsies toward the
ruddy and admirable host. as his home
was seen for the first time by numer-
Gus marketable spinsters. each OF whom
must have experienced the shadow Of
an idea that it would not be so bad af-
ter all 20 be Mrs. Reynolds and pre-

nickel What on earth men want with
the melange Of indigestible stuff served
up in its pages it is impossible to
guess. The, Sunday papers issued by
Iowa publishers are infinitely prefera-
BILE. They are printed late enough to
offer some news of interest that has
perhaps not been fully exploited in the
late Saturday issues of the evening pa
pers. 1t is not at all likely that the
public will pay I cents for a Chicago
Sunday paper when it can get better
one for a nickel.
The Sunday paper isn't worth Z
cents 1t isn't worth nickel. Six
days is enough of newspapers. Men
should turn to a different reading one
day in the week. Two cents will pay
the rental on the newest book for a
day. Five cents will buy a classic
nowadays, and an hour or so one day
in the week with a classic is not too
long or time wasted The libraries are
free Ten sents buys an excellent mag
azine nowadays. Perhaps the less said
about magazines the better, tho their
system of sensationalizing does not
take in the pictures of the murdered
woman with a cross mark on the floor
where the body fell and a crooked line
marking the direction in which the
blood flowed.
There is no difficulty in the way Of
securing the best reading for every
day. Then why buy Z cents worth of
neurotic morbidity on Sunday? If the
ordinary Sunday paper brings any
thing worth while to. the homes where
it is so generally carried, will someone
please point 1t out?

BRYAN AMID A PANIC.
(Duhun,,a TimeS-Journal,)

The general freight agent of the bur
lington road, pleading against joint
rates in Iowa, predicts that we will
get Bryan in 1908 and a panic the fol-
lowing year. This is a prophecy OF
which we will have to take the whole
or none and we have the warrant or
experience for rejecting 1t altogether.
Bryan was beaten in 1896 and 1900 be-
cause he was so radical that the coun-
try feared him and today he 10 more
radical than ever. He no longer
threatens the gold standard, but re-
CARELESS Of whatever might be dem
onstrated concerning the needs of the
country, he would be expected to OPP
pose any measure of currency reform
not warranted by the utterances OF
the populist convention. He Is on rec
ord in favor Of government ownership
as the ultimate remedy for the evils
connected with the present admins
tration of railroads and he Is for the
initiative and referendum, a system by
which the government could be de-
prived of the power it must have In an
emergency Such propositions will
not bear the fierce light of criticism
that would be thrown upon them dur
ing a presidential campaign. For over
ten years past Mr.. Bryan has been
more popular between elections than
at the polls. He will not get enough
support from republicans infected with
the virus of populism to Offset the loss
Of the conservative democracy.

Mrs. Crates Address.

An amusing story of the late Mrs.
Craigie, the noted novelist, was told
the other day Of the Authors club in
New York.
"When Mrs. Craigie was in Amer
lea last year said the editor. "she was
invited to make an address at certain
meeting. She accepted the invitation,
but her name, thru some oversight,
was put far down on the program. and
worse than that, the chairman, rather
stupid person. introduced before her
some speakers who were not on the
program at all.
an short 1t was close on to II O'clock
when the chairman, with pleasant
smile. bowed and said:

We can but believe. that a wrong is

course; also, that a greater wrong

We believe that much of the good
the president has done would Abe lost

We believe there is no occasion for
the breaking Of the national custom.
We believe he has said and written

We think he holds place in the

heat of partisan political strife, and
he IN position to take a broad view
OF the nations wants and needs, and

useful in this capacity, than as a
third term president of our country.
It is well for the over jealous to

Some Animals Really Weep.
(From Little Folks)

10 :
Animals are said to weep from var
ious causes. Grief at the loss of young
ones and mates makes the dog, horse,
elephant, rat bear, deer, monkey, dom
key, mule, cattle, camel and giraffe
shed tears.
Sobbing has been proved in the par
rot tho this may be mtmicry The
stag at bay and the Gagged rat have
been seen to weep. while monkeys have
wept when pitied or from terror.
The elephant has Wept the loss of
his liberty, and in some cases also from
vexation. The dread Of punishment has
caused captive chimpanzees and other
apes to weep.
Joy, pain, fatigue, thirst, old age,
approaching death and pettishness
have all drawn tears from animals or
at least driven them to fearful state.

joy, and in this home young people
found cordial welcome. Many a poor
man and needy household remember
deeds of practical kindness which they
owe to him. He never made any fuss
over his charities, but he was public
spirited to a degree. Tho not himself
a church member, he was very far
from unreligious or out Of sympathy
with the aims Of church work. His
word was his bond, and in business he
was a tireless, successful worker.
There is, however, but one way in
which we can describe him-he was
just Dave Norris and no one else.
Grinnell is indebted to him for much
OF good, and will miss him now that
he is gone.
