A Rather Novel Complaint.

An English traveller once met COM
paniOn sitting in Il state of the most
woeful despair and apparently near
the last agonies by the side of one Of
the mountain lakes of Switzerland. He
inquired the cause of his sufferings.
ooh" said the latter. 81 was very hot
and thirsty and took large draft of
the clear water of the lake and then
sat down on this stone to consult my
guidebook. To my astOnishment, |
found that the water of this lake is
very poisonous! Oh, | am gone man;
l feel it running all over me. l have
only a few minutes to live! Remember
me to-
LET me see the guidebOOk," said his
friend. Turning to the passage. he
found. "L'eau du lac est bien pois-
soneuse" CThe water of this lake
abounds in fish.
''Is that the meaning of it?'
Certainly"

George T. Newsome, living in
Spruance City, Smyrna Del, says :

years some days it would be very

OUR SAILORS UNIFORMS.
Copied From England and Not Rep

reSentSClVe OF America
All are familiar with the American
man-Of-war sailors suit but has any
one ever stopped to consider how he
comes by it and what the origin of it
IS? With the exception of the tit itself
und the stars in the corner of the collar
the whole suit is copied from the Eng
lish. One would have thought tha On
this time the American nation v q
have fallen upon some original COS
tune for its navy in some way more
representative of America.
In the early days of the British navy
it was still the custom to tap the hair
in a cue after well greasing it. but
much annoyance was felt by the men
in consequence of the oil getting on the
rough serge of their jumpers or blOuses.
This caused the blue collar of the
same material as the jumper to be
added but without much success. as
the collar looked quite as untidy. so at
length the idea of putting the blue
drill one over the serge was adopted.
the drill collar being a separate ap-
pendage and therefore easily washed
and kept clean. The lanyard was
worn to represent the ropes and rig
ging of the ship, and the jackknife in

In those days the neck was exposed,
but as time went on and more thought

health; hence the substitute of the

The two rows of white braid at the

Ireland, the one row at the bottom
showing that Scotland had not become

collar represent wholly and solely the
victories of Nelson.

grand career and his first great vic

Catching Deer by Hand.

This red deer" said the keeper.
''was caught by hand"
But a red deer is the feetest of the
fleet"
Right you are, but this fellow was
caught by hand all the same. 1t is a
feat that is often done in the winter in
the still woods choked with snow.
You see a deer and chase it. Getting
confused, it soon deserts the firm deer
paths or runnings. and then it is help
less. 1t founders terribly. up to its
neck in snow
You hurry toward it. Harder and
harder 1t struggles; more and more
tired it becomes. In very little while

EnoIand's Day.

April % is a memorable day in Eng
lish history. To begin with, it is the
day dedicated to the patron saint Of
England, st. George. 1t was through
the crusaders that st. George was
thus selected. He was born in Cappa-
dOcio. and later his bravery against
the Romans became a military tradi-
ton; hence the regard for him on the
part of the English warriors who en-
gagged in the crusades. On this day
also Shakespeare is reported to have
been born and died Later, in 1861,
Charles II. was crowned king on April
%. Lastly, Wordsworth died on this
momentOus day.-London Standard.

KEEP THE SABBATH"

And so far from the Sabbath insti- tuition having always preserved a. lovely and lovable humanness. it be- came, az one time or another in the nations history, a hateful. an intolera- ble. and a murderous tyranny, says. the Rev. Charles F. Aked in Apple tons for November in the fourth of the series of his widely discussed ar ticles on The Saivation of Christi a1ity." once, while the children of Israel were still in the wilderness. they found a man gathering, sticks on the Sabbath day They did not quite know how to deal with such a crim- ihal. so they kept him in ward while they spent a little time in prayer. and then they led him outside the camp, and there theS- the poor wretch to death.
 The effect of such a despotism was precisely what it must ever be. It drove men into prevaricatiOn, into subterfuge. into deliberate and grlar- ing hypocrisy Proof of this is writ ten in large characters across many an Old Testament book. It is written into the very history of the Hebrew people. And, what is more to the point of the present inquiry. for many generations past men and women have known that they could not be held subject to any such preposterous and impossible obligation. For if, in any intelligible sense. we are to Keep the Sabbath" as obedience to the law required the Jew to observe it, we uuSt do m manner Of wnrk and ner- init none to be done. We must not take the heart out of those words. They are specific. They the emphatic. We are to do no manner of work and we are to allow none to be done in our house or by any person under our control. The Jew who gathered sticks on the Sabbath was stoned; and the American who asks his cook to boil an egg for breakfast ought to be hanged.

HANDICAPPED HIMSELF
 BY GETTING INTO JAIL
TiVoli Garden Bartender Called at the
 Sheriff's Office to See About It.

John Hartman, a bartender at the Tivoli Garden, called at the office of the sheriff yesterday to vindicate him. self, and was put into jail. Hartman heard that there was a bench warrant out for him on the charge of selling liquor without a license. Four in- dictments had been found against the proprietor. J. H. w. Jensen, and one against John Doe a bartender. Hart man called to say that his name was not John Doe and that, beside, he was not the bartender meant in the com plaint. He knew that for the reason that the members of the grand jury knew him. and it was unreasonable to suppose that if they had intended to indict him, they would not have con- ceiled their purpose under the fiction of John Doe.
 The warrant Of arrest "as not in the office at the time, but was in the possession of the sheriff at the fair grounds. Deputy Sheriff Jeff Adams who was on duty tried to communi- cate with the sheriff, but was unable to do so. He told Hartman, however. that he had been instructed to take him in custody, as it had been learned that he was the man meant by the grand jury as John Doe.
 Hartman wanted to bet a cigar that the deputy was wrong. He said that he would go down street. and he told the deputy where he might be found. Mir. Adams replied that he would have no trouble in finding him: that ba yt-ottI6 he in a coll in fi,-a win, utes.
 Hartman offered a vigorous protest but the officer was too busy to do anything but act on the instructions he had received. He will probably re- main in custody until his trial, as MT. Jensen is in California.

GOOD FOR OGDEN.

Ogden showed by it's vote on the
waterworks bonds that it has come to a
realization of its opportunities and is
determined to place its municipal or
ganization on a high-class footing
where it belongs. The result of the
bond election insures ultimate posses
sion Of the waterworks, removes that
question from politics and puts the peo-
pie of the city IN position to establish Il
rates, provide better service and, in
time, pay for the plant out of its OWE
earnings.
Quite as important to the community
is the demonstration of the fact that
any movement for the public good can
triumph there in spite of Glasmann and
his newspapers. The High school issue
and the waterworks issue were fought
out on this line, and the result in both
instances is TO show that Glasmann is
negligible quantity, a four-f1ush, a
false alarm.
The best interests of Ogden, backed
as this bond issue was by the substan-
tial men of the community, will win
every time, now that the spirit of prog
ress has shown its strength and the
power of organized effort.

falling upon his enemy by accident, as
it were. and crushing him. Nothing of
the kind occurred, and after the thou
sands present had recovered their
breath mighty shout went up in rec
ognition of the fact that both men sur
vived the encounter and that the re-
viewing stand was not bespattered with
gore.
We shall have columns upon the i'm
portance of this casual meeting, and it
Will. be figured out that as a conse-
quence harmony reigns in Ohio, har-
mony in the Buckeye state from the
Republican point of view meaning that
Foraker has consented to his political
death and wishes to be at peace with
his enemies before the fateful hour of
execution arrives.
This is somewhat different from the
manner in which the Ohio senator has
been pictured in the minds eye of most
people. Heretofore he has always
fought back when assailed, and the
&,+f =. ~.
heralded meeting bears a close resem-
blance TO that historic occasion in King
David's time when Joab inquired after
Amasa's health before catching him by
his body. 1t will be a great surprise if
Foraker does not go after Taft as we'll
as Roosevelt.

THE VERMONT ELECTION.

There never was any doubt as to the
result of the election in Vermont The
state has been going Republican for a
good many years. and will probably
continue to do SO unless some Demo-
crat or Populist or Socialist gets pos
session of the marble quarries and other
leading enterprises of the state, in
which case of course the votes of the
Green Mountain men will be trans
ferred with the property. The late SEN
ator Redfield Proctor controlled the
state politically, and when the marble
quarries came into possession of the
son he became the Duke of Rutland and
received the homage of the people.
Vermont cuts no figure politically in
the Union, her influence in the halls of
congress practically ceasing with the
resignation of Senator Edmunds and
the death of Senator Morrill,.
There has been some senseless clat-
ter in the press about taking the result
of the state election in Vermont as an
indication of the outcome of the ma
tional election in November, but we
greatly doubt if any sane man has
been lying awake nights waiting for
the returns.
There is another down-east state to
vote Sept Is, Maine, and the result
will not be any more of straw" than
the vote in Vermont
