mother. 'You won't"
Wont II" said Hal, "you can just bet
he be sorry he treated me the way he did,"
| "But," began Mr.. Harper, Just as there came
| loud shout from the street.
Without waiting to put on his coat or hat,
Hal rushed outside to learn from a passing
companion that small boat had capsized off
the lake shore and that someone was being
The wind was violent and the rain was fall
ing in sheets, but this did not deter Hal from
| running down to the rock bound coast, where
were gathered half the people of the town, all
gazing sorrowfully at a rowboat that was be.
ing dashed to pieces against the rocks below.
Its your boat, Hal" said man as Hal
came up. Someone stole your boat and went
out. on the lake just before the storm came
up"
:; Yes" said Hal, ITS my boat, but where
Hes out yonder," said the man pointing
just out past the breakers, you can just see
his head every now and then"
Hal looked, and sure enough could see what
looked like toy balloon bobbing up and
down,
"Why don't they put out boat and save
his life?" asked the boy as he went closer to
the edge Of the rocks.
"Huh," said grizzled fisherman, 'there
aren't any boats here that can live on that.
Clarence is goner this time, for nothin' can
save 'im."
"Clarencel Clarence who?" gasped Hal.
"Why," answered the fisherman, "It's Clar-
ence Hyde, and hen never reach shore again"
Clarence Hyde drowning muttered Hal
to himself, "the bully who struck me- He'll
drown and I'll never get my revenge"
While Hal was standing dumb with amaze
ment, he happened to catch sight of a rope
and in an instant an idea entered his head
"Here, men," he yelled, as he pulled off his
shoes, give hand here and let me down the
rocks"
A number of men who thought he wanted
to save his rowboat objected, but Hal called
upon them so earnestly that they could not
refuse, and in minute more Hal was swing
ing over the rocky coast with his feet being
washed by the waves.
Then shout went up as the boy apparently
lost his hold on the rope and fell into the
waters.
"He's gonel" some one yelled, as Hal dis
appeared, and in an instant the coast was cov-
cred with alarmed persons waiting to see the
boy dashed against the cruel rocks.
But, no. Halls head came to the surface
and in spite of the heavy waves few strokes
Of his strong arms took him out of danger.
and every now and then he could be seen
drawing nearer and nearer Clarence Hyde.

n little town on the pretty banks of
Lake Erie, lived boy known as Hal
Harper, a boy who was quiet and
gentle in his way, but who was SO
stubborn, once he had made up his mind. that
as his father said, "You couldn't move him
with a team of forty mules"
:, Halls father was of the well-to-do citizens of
the town, and as a rule Hal had about every
thing boy could desire. everything except
health, something he needed more than any
thing else. lie had been delicate almost from
childhood, and as he had grown one disease
after another. attacked him, each attack leav-
ing him weaker than before, until when he
had reached the age of fifteen, he was a lean
ana lank specimen Of boyhood, and his pa
neighbors wondered whether he could last
another year.
Hal himself, although rarely able to Join in
the hustilng games of his companions, had lit
tie thought about passing into The Great Be.
yond, and always enjoyed watching his com @
rades play; 1t was while gazing at a ball
game one day that something happened, some
thing which was to change his whole life.
Bert Hanson was one Of the smaller boys
base, another boy, Clarence Hyde, deliber-
ately stuck baseball bat between Bert's
legs, and the result was that Bert went to
the ground, and when he arose his face was
covered with blood, which came streaming
from his nose and bad cut on the lip.
In a second almost, Hal was by the small
boys side, and after using his own handker-
chief to wipe away the blood and dirt, he
turned to Clarence Hyde, who stood by grin
ming as though the joke were most excellent
one.
81 should think" said Hal, "that big brute
like you would pick out some larger boy to
play mean jokes on. You are nothing but
big bully, and are always ill-treating smaller
HAh, cut it, Skinney," remarked Clarence
"you are SO delicate you don't dare play any
jokes and are jealous because you can't"
"That's all right" remarked Hal slowly,
'sbut no matter if l were as big as an ele-
phant, ! wouldn't be as mean as to do con-
temptible trick like that. IL l were not SO
delicate would certainly repay you for this"
and he turned once more to comfort the weep
aAnd now" said Clarence as he came up
to them, Gust how would you repay mew
"1 would give you good trouncing."
"Oh, no, you would, chi Well" said C1ar- |
ence $50 long as you feel that way about it |
I'll just give you something to spur on your
ambition"
With that Clarence raised his hand and
with his open palm. gave Hal slap across
the cheek, slap that stung and hurt the |
flesh, but not SO much as it hurt the sensitive |
feelings of the delicate youth.
Hal looked at Clarence for moment in
surprise, then flush came over his face. |

MR.. HEARsT's PARTY.

NJ R. HEARST, Of New York, has launched
4 his party He proposes to nominate can
didates for president and vice-president The
party it is said, is not TO be called off on any ac-
count Naturally it would be expected that Mr.
Hearst should head the ticket himself. OF course
he would not be elected president but he could
keep up his record as the great and good loser
Mr. Hearst's platform is a hodgepodge of all plat
FORMS not particularly attractive, and not paric-
uarly otherwise.
The party, howeverAis likely to have practi-
cal effect in the campaign. 1t is a serious menace
to the Democrats. The Hearst ticket will draw
most Of its support from the Democratic ranks.
BRYAN, should he be nominated, would have
many an anxious night Of worry about Hearst
and Hearst,s tcket-that is, if Bryan expects to
be elected.
No matter what happens Mr. Hearst proposes
to have so~.> fun out of the political game, and
as he is rich enough to do so, the band can play
on, but to Democratic ears it will be dscordant

return no more to plague U.S."
twenty odd wears ago the govern
ment sent an expert to Delaware to try
to discover a remedy for the peach
yellows. He seemed industrious and
intelligent. and told the peach grower
to pluck out the yellow tDees and burn
them. and so say the professors all to-
day. That remedy that made uncle
Havseed tell his wife twenty years ago
that the camel had been delivered of
a mouse. is still all the known yellows
remedy. So with the San Jose Scale,
spray and burn they said fifteen years
ago, spray and burn they repeat to-
day. For these and other reasons, the
Hayseed farmer has often perhaps re-
fused to lift his hat when the Agricul-
tural College professor drove by. He
has thought it unnecessary to be told
over and over TO pull out the trees by
the roots.
But now Professor Penny says to the
farmers. Il will save you thousands OF
dollars every year." and the farmers
cry out good boy. you are the stuff
we love to welcome in the orchard. ="
But. somebody may say here "if there
is no remedy for the peach yellows,
why do you quarrel at men because
they cannot discover a remedy?" Oh
we are not complaining that a remedy
has not been found. only that no one
seems to be trying TO find any. How
ever we have wandered away from our
purpose here. to give Prof. Penny
praise for cutting 10 pieces the fruit

AUDIENCE
HEARS ORCHESTRA
Concert Of the Local Organ
iZatiOn PIeaSeS Many
People
THEIR WORK CREDITABLE

The Wilmington Orchestra was heard
in its third concert of this season last
night at the Grand Opera House. The
threatre was filled to a Senerous capa-
city by an expectant and sympathizing
audience. 1t is a matter Of general
belief that the orchestra showed i'm
provement over its former concerts.
The program as a whole was rendered
very acceptably, and the evenings
entertainment was edifying.
The program ran the gamut from the
fantastic to the sombre overture Of
William Tell. The concert opened
with Balfe's overture from The Bo-
hemian Girl. a score that never fails to
charm. The organization last night
did particularly good work in bringing
out the definite tonalitv and melody Of
"a gypsv life for me" theme. Schu-
bert's Unfinished Symphany," breath
ing a romantic warmth of sentiment,
was taken up secondly, and the orches-
ira nut tenderness and pathos in the
first movement. That portion Of the
theme in which the 'cellos have the
HlAaaAAAh etlNAAAAAdAAAAAA1AN - AAA~ NARAeA1
and the clarinets was given Its fun
tonal color and beauty Of rythm. The
second movement possesses more
suavity and its natural Interpretation
of this intensely Schubertian piece last
night verged on the monotonous. Sew
eral fake notes by the French horns
spoiled the somewhat fascinating effect
of the echoing passage.
One of the delights of the evening
was Moszkowsli's Spanish dances.
The work includes a generous use of
devices for coloring and the orchestra
scored a hit by its Interpretation ac-
companied by the jingles of tambour-
ines and the throb Of the castaneto.
The second part of the program was
we'll chosen. II opened with Mas
cagnis Prelude and Siciliana-Caval-
leria Rusticana-and the famous Inter
mezzo. Both numbers were given in
all their fine italian taste and melody.
The Intermezzo brought the first en-
core, probably because of its familiar
ity. Conductor Rodemann graciously

might have been retained within the Episcopal

indicated the orchestra as those to
whom the credit is due.
That king of waltz makers-Johann
Strauss was listed in part two with
his Op. S33 Wine, Women and Song"
Strauss is always delightful even or
hurdy gurdy. The selection swept
through the audience like a pleasant
breeze and many could he seen swayirg
their heads to the waltz movement, so
captivatingly was it rendered. Czibul-
ka's Loves Dream After the Balf and
MoszkowslSi's "Serenade' for strings
was probably the best Interpretation
of the evening. II was singularly fine
and polished and the orchestra avoided
the sentimentality which is often read
into these compositions. The tone tint
ings and nuancings were seraphic, es-
pecially in the first number. The
audience noted a pleasurahle relief from
the brass, which in some instances was
noticably important. More attention
should be paid 10 a reduction Of the
sorority Of the latter branch OF the
orchestra.
The concert came to a close with
Rossinfs overture from William Tell.
It was fairly we'll played. The concert,
considered from the fact that the or
ganizatiOn is composed of ar ateurs
and the talent Of one city was credit
able.
With each program those who attend
ed the concert last night were handed
a ballot to be cast on leaving the thea
ire either for or against an additional
concert. PIT ballots were cast, 213
favoring an additional concert and 4
against the same. 146 voted to give
the concert on a week day evening
and 42 on Sunday afternoon. About $50
programs were given cut and It is
regretted that more people did not take
an interest in the balloting.

spent it, and was termed 'jolly good fellow"
He was always smiling and cheerful. Those who

DELAWARE WATER COMPANY DEAL.

p ATHER unexpectedly we imagine, was
IN the conference of city officials in regard
TO the Delaware Water Company playground
proposed deal, held in public yesterday-that IS,
reporter was permitted to be present. 1t turned
out at the conference that neither the railroad
company nor the water company had made an
offer to the city. Some earnest city officials want
the railroad company to give the city the use OF
a tract of land for playground purposes on condi-
ton that the Delaware Water Company be
granted permission to use a street in which to lay
its pipes for the purpose of supplying the rail-
road company with water
Mr.. William p Bancroft suggested that the
railroad company be granted water pipe permis-
sion without any compensation to the city. This
is a philanthropic view that is seldom, II ever,
reciprocated by the railroad company. Colonel
Sparks, in the discussion, got at practical side
of the question by declaring that the city had
better make terms with the company, owing to
the probability that the Legislature might give
the company the desired permission Mr.. Sparks
is an authority on the general doings OF the Leg
isature and his opinion is, therefore, entitled to
weight
1t seems to us that if any deal is TO be made
"that for which" on even terms, as suggested by
the conferrees, should be adopted. We have
thought it unwise and still think so, for she city
to grant the permission, because we do rot see IN
fairness how similar requests from other corpo-
ratons for permission TO use the streets Tor
pipes could be refused
