\ WOMAN'S PLACE.

Since the days of Noah men have
been attempting to forecast the
weather. Sometimes they have been
able to do so correctly but they nave
often failed Frequently showers
and thunderstorms" have been pre-
dicted for Pendleton and the appoint
ed day would pass without drop OF
rain or a single peal Of thunder.
In view of this condition 1t is well
ccme news that a woman is now en-
gagged in weather forecastlng in the
east. She is Hon. Mrs. Eva F. Smith
wilkins and her weather forecasts for
New York, Washington and Phila-
delphia are being received with in
tcrest and a degree of faith.
Coce to think of it, declares the
st. Louis Post-Dispatch, a woman has
decided advantage over a man in
this. as in most other things. Natur-
ally. she will disregard the visible
signs and the leadings of accepted
logic in favor Of her intuition. We
rely on her superior powers of divi-
nation. Let Mrs. Eva F. wilkins
Smith go as far as she likes. Our
saith goes with her. And if she hap
pens to be wrong-at least there Is
some satisfaction in being deceived
by a woman.

FRIENDSHIP OF \ DOG.

Have YOU ever been so fortunate
az to have the friendship OF a dog
The feeling of love and friendship is
attributed usually to human beings
.'alone but anyone who has ever been
loved by dog will bear me out i'm
the statement that there is no ten
derer devotion than his. no deeper
affection or more unselfish attach
ment. He obeys like a child, defends
like a tiger, is happy when you are
happy and miserable when you are
sad. Look at him as he lies there at
your feet while you read your even
ing paper He watches every motion
with those steadfast. beautiful eyes.
He is on the alert for any order you
may give, sensitive to your slightest
movement You go away and leave
him. ne waits patiently your return
\ long separation breaks his heart
He even refuses food and IS restless
and unhappy until your face smiles
down upon him again. And when
you meet once more with what un-
checked enthusiasm, what frank and
innocent delight, he greets you! Sup
pose misfortune overtakes your path
way, friends forsake you at the low
ering of the cloud. you may be in dis
grace with all the world but your
dog still lives. still trusts, still abides
in friendship as firm as the everlast-
ing hills. You can never be quite for
saken while he lives Oh this is
something worth the having is 1t not?
Do you think the earth holds any
reasoning friendship half so noble. so
fine or so pure as the unreasonng
affection of your dog?-Dumb Ami

At the first quarterly conference OF

Thursday evening, July 2nd, at which
nearly all the otiiciary were present,
Presiding Elder 5. NJ. Morgan made a
statement, in which he explained his
position as it related to the pastor Of
Wesley NJ +. Church, the Rev DR.. A.
w. Lightbourne, against whom there
has been a movement to prefer charges
before the next annual meeting Of the
Wilmington Conference.
DR.. Morgan stated that so far as he
was concerned in the matter he had
used every means and exerted every
effort possible to have the charges con.
templated being brought against DR..

BODY Of INFANT FOUND
BESIDE THE RAILROAD

A gathering OF buzzards attracted the
attention Of John Minner who was
working on the land Of Frank H. Krsm-
Itch at Cullentown, last Thursday, and
on investigation he found at the side Of
the D., NJ. & V. Railroad, the body OF
a child about two weeks old. The vul-
lures had eaten part Of the flesh and
publication had just commenced. The
body was taken to the undertaking es-
tablishm ent Of Isaac A. White and the
Coroner notified. The jury brought in
verdict that the child came to its
death at the hands Of parties unknown.
The skull had been fractured and one
arm broken, and the theory Of most
folks is, that the body was dropped
from train as it passed.

DETECTIVES CHILD SAVED
FROM A BOLD KIDNAPPER

A daring kidnapping occurred at Har
rington, last Monday morning, when
the 4-year.old son OF Railroad Detective
S. f. Minner was kidnapped by negro
George Timmons, claiming Virginia al
his home, who had been around Har
rington few days.
Monday morning shortly after nine
O'Clock, little Leslie MlnDer was play
ing 10 front Of his home in Harrington,
when TimmOns, approached and offer
ing the hoy an apple, succeeded in
cOaxing him away. 1t was not until
the lad had been carried almost past
the town limits that it dawned upon
the citizens what the negro was up to.
Then an alarm was given and Con-
stables John q. Baker and William
Willis we're notified. Word was also
sent to Mr.. Minner, the father Of the
child, who was away on his daily
duties, to return at once, which he did
as soon as he could get a train back to
Harrington.
Several men Joined the officers in the
chase, and after searching an hour or
more found the lad in a deserted saw
mill on the outskirts Of Harrington,
frightened to death and almost speech
less. He was returned to his mother
and the search for the negro resumed.
Several hours later the pursuing
party ran the negro down in a woods
near Houston and compelled him to
surrender by displays OF reyolvers and
shot guns. He was was securely hand
cuffed and brought to Harrington,
where he was given preliminary hear
ing and at once sent to Dover Jail,
without bail, for trial at the next DC.
tober term of the Kent County Court.
The penalty for kidnapping in this
State, by an act Of Legislation passed
March end, 1901, is death penalty or
life imprisonment, except in cases
where children are abducted by their
parents.

Fire Company Careless.

The hook and ladder truck Of Mil.
ford, as we'll IS the hose carriages, are
disgrace to the town. Everything IN
connection with the apparatus is dirty
and out Of place. The ladders are
loaned and not replaced on the truck.
there are no lanterns on the carriages,
and the boots and coats are worn by
any or all at any or all times. This is
an abUminable condition Of affairs.
We suggest that the Light and Water
Commission abandon its present
quarters and build q shed for the apar-
stus then let them with the Town
Council occupy q second story over the
present jail building. This will save
the treasury money, and the fire hose,
lanterns and ladders be in no worse
shape than now. The fire station is a
disgrace to the town Of Milford. Either
make it right, or abandon it all to-
gather.

To STOCK STATE WITH
HUNGARIAN PARTRIDGES

The Delaware Game Protective Asso
cation contemplates the purchase fol
distribution this fall, after the hunting
sasOn lie over, OF from so to 100 pairs Of
Hungarian partridges.
Tines birds are highly recommended
lth Department Of Agriculture,
heing extremely hardy and prolific,
ana articdlarly adapted for sections
Of this country where severe winters
are experienced, as is often the case
here. They are twice the size Of the
Bob White, and therefore have sufi
Gent strength to work themselves out
OF the deep SHOWS where the latter
would succumb. Well watered wood
land tracts in the vicinity of the arabic
lands are the best suited, but the par
fridge is easily pleased and can prac-
4ically make its living anywhere
There are but few birds which so strict
" adhere to their once selected abode
As do the Hungarian partridges. Even
their offspring do not wander away.
AS for sport in the field these par
tridges cannot be surpassed. They are
more swift in flight than our quail and
will lie much closer to cover, giving
the dogs better chance to range, nose
and hold. When flushed, these birds
dy like shot from a shell and at differ
ent angles, hence they remove the pri-
vilege Of pot hunters Of emptyinR both
Ioads Of lead into their covey and per-
taps kill half or more, which is the
Rsiest way Of exterminating game.
& requires a good marksman under
hvorable conditions to bag more than
Two of these swift birds on a raise.
The associations experiments in en-
leavOring to introduce the Chinese or
MOngolian pheasants have been almost
ntire failures, and the members are
iatisfied that these birds are not suited
this State, while quail are almost
impossible to obtain, nearly every
tate having legislated against their
lipment, even for prOpagating pur-
oses, and the Hungarian cartridges
seem to offer the best solution OF the
Aroblem Of re stocking our depleted
covers. The Legislature, at its next
session, will be asked to protect them
Tor a term Of years until they can be-
come fully established.
1t is proposed to make the distribu-
tion free, and to cover the State as
widely as possible, and applications
will be considered as to their priority |
and location, and should be made to
the Secretary, L. G. Bradford, Jr., Of
Members Of the association will, Of
course, have preference, but not more
than one pair will be allotted to each
applicant.
