Jamie grew listless and weary, the lightness
went from his step, and the lustre from his eyes.
Mrs Darter tried all the teas and root decoctions
known to her mdterid medicG, but to no purpose.
Jamie tried bravely to respond to her treatment,
and assured her again and again that she was
fine doctor. But he gained ground-he was
not the Jamie of a month ago. Mrs. Darter saw
this and called, to attend him, Doctor Saunders,
the best physician in reach. He pronounced the
case typhoid fever, put the little patient to bed
and installed Mrs. Darter and Frank as nurses.
Poor little jamie he now past all ability
to carry himself like the little soldier he was, and
he must perforce lay aside his tender consdera-
ton of others feelings he could no longer assure
Aunt Matilda that her tea was good, or tell Frank
what world of muscle he must have to carry
him about easily He lay limp and white, no
look of recognition in his eyes, and only inco-
herent words falling from his lips. Moreover, he
was growing weaker and weaker every day. Frank
was never out of earshot of the little sufferers
means, and Aunt Matilda never out of reach of
his feverish hands.

planning that it is difficult to find enough children
in their congregations to run Sunday school.
Particularly do the Catholic clergy assail their
parishioners for the lack of marriages, and espe-
cially early marriages.
For hundred years and more the birth rate
in the United States has been steadily, ominously
sinking It's steady decline, particularly among
the native stock, shows that the blood of the
Fathers of the Republic, if it has grown blue has
also grown cold in the veins of the newer genera
tons. Thomas Jefferson, basing his estimates on
the birth rate predicted that the United States
would have in 1875 population of eighty millions.
This prediction made at time when by the
natural and normal process of reproduction the
population was doubling itself every twenty-five
years Benjamin Franklin, who number fif-
teen in a family of seventeen said that the aver
age family in his day eight. At the present
time it is, in some portions of the country, less
than two"
Dr. George Y. Engleman, a Boston physician
who has contributed much information on this
subject through the medical magazines says that
"the number of children born to native American
families is less than that of any other country in
the world not excepting France. 1t is a strange
and curious circumstance that in America, where
than in any other part of the world, the in
dividual fourishes, the race dies"
Many reasons are given for this state of affairs.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-03-15

But when the crisis came, there was no need of
nursing; nothing more could be done, the doctor
said He lay still and white, as if dead, and from
this deep Sleep or unconsciousness, no one knew
which side the grave he would awake Aunt
Matilda forsook her post, she bethought her. it
seemed, Him with whom call things are possible
and when Frank found her she prone the
floor, words of entreaty struggling up through
her sobs.
Jamie woke up this side of the grave. Very
faint was the voice in which he spoke to the
watchers about his bed, bidding them good-morn-
ing, as if he had come back after long, long
night in some far away place! And very thin and
white were the hands he reached out to them.
But in his eyes there recognition and the
same old look of love.
Frank took the little hands and held them
tenderly between his own-"Pm mighty glad
you're back with agin, pard" he said, as soon
as he could trust his voice to speak.
Aunt Matilda said nothing, but stood a long
while behind the bed, wiping her eyes with her
apron.
The next time Jamie at church-Mrs. Dar-
ter at his side She actually sang with the
rest of the congregation Her voice was badly
cracked and altogether unmusical, it must be ad-
mitted, but the sentiment of the song-a song of
thanksgiving-seemed to express the sentiment in
her heart and she sang with emphasis.

By Percy Howard.

Robert E. Park in a recent article for a Maga-
zine supplement opened his subject with this ex
preston:
"The vital thermometer of people is the birth
rate" This statement followed up by many
statistics going to show that America is no longer
depending for it's population on the native product
but yearly increasing importations of the Eu
ropean surplus. He says further:
"a Unitarian minister in a fashionable suburb
in Massachusetts recently called attention from
the pulpit to the fact, that the average little
more than child born annually for every
hundred members of the congregation in good and
regular standing. All over the country, and not

BEAU FIELDING.
he Was the Enigma of English Social
Life In His Day.

he Was the Enigma of English Social
Life In His Day.
Beau Fielding was Il young man of
fashion in the reign of William III His
house was sumptuOusly furnished. his
hunters. hacks and racers were Of
great value, and che kept a table of
princely hospitality" Tie had no Os
tcnsible source of income. All that was
known of him was that he was the
fifth son of Thomas Wilson, an impov-
erished gentleman of Leicestershire.
Evelyn describes him as a very young
man. civil and good natured. but of
no great force Of character" and very
sober and of good fame. All attempts
to discover his secret were vain. In
his most careless hours of amusement
he kept a strict guard over his tongue
and left scandal to conjecture what it
pleased"
He redeemed his fathers estate and
pOrtiOned off his sisters and when re-
mOnstrated with on his extravaganza
replied that. however long his life
should last. ne would always have
enough to live in the same way. Some
said it was he who had robbed the
Holland mail. for which another man
had suffered; others that he depended
upon the gambling table. though he
never played for large sums. He was
the enigma of social life till his career
was cut short by duel His adversary
was at that time a young man about
town like himself, John Law. who
afterward became the founder of the
famous Mississippi scheme by which
half of France was ruined. When the
mysterious Beau died he left only
few pounds behind him and not
scrap of evidence to enlighten public
curiosity

Superintendent of the Kent
County Public Schools, James E.
Carroll has his eye on Smyrna for
the next session Of the Kent County
Teachers Institute and the only
thing that concerns him is the mat
ter of getting accommodation for
the teachers. Since the local op-
tion law went into effect Smyrna
has only one hotel, 1.-The Delaware
House, which is hardly ample to
accommodate the $50 or more
teachers who will attend the ses-
sion. There should be no need for
Smyrna to be deprived of the insti-
tute course for this reason. There
are enough homes in town which
could be thrown open for such an
occasion and give the housewife a
chance to pick up some pin money.
The question has been suggested,
and reasonably too, that if some
one would open a large boarding
or apartment house it might be
made profitable business. There
are enough couples in Smyrna, if
the price was agreeable, who could
we'll afford to do without The worry
Of the kitchen and become perman-
ent boarder5 aside from those who
would delight in a home like place
for Boarding and lodging. The
peo < /. SMYRNA should not allow
the Institute to be kept away from
us on account of accommodations
While it will not be until next No
vember (Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of Thanksgiving week,
there IS ample time to work up q
sentiment and convince Superin-
tendent Carroll that Smyrna car
accommodate the Teachers of KEN
County as we'll as Dover or any
other town.

The story on our first page "A
Plea for the Delaware Pedagogue"
is matter for deep reflection. 1t
will be noted in California that the
average pay for the school teacher
who gives of her time and talents
for the training Of the young re-
Ceives $40 a month, while here in
Kent County the average is only
$50 a month. We take for granted
the California school teacher is no
better trained nor has a harder task
than the teachers here in Delaware.
yet the difference in remuneration
is enough to cause our fair State to
blush with shame. The teachers
of Delaware get but scant encour-
agement to enter the profession
here and aside from those who are
i'll the work because of ardent love
for the little children and fas-
cination for the work, it is difiult
to get teachers to take our district
schools and each year the school
boards of the several districts are
confronted with vexing problems
The time will come and must come
when the teachers of the State Of
Delaware will be paid commensu
rate with their ability and thC
sooner the State realizes this, the
better it will be for the great public
school system of Delaware.

PARIS, June 2+-Special dispatches
received here from Teheran say that
the lighting began about 8 a. m. and
was provoked by bomb thrown
from the roof Of one OF the buildings
among the Cossacks. The lighting
continued until late In the afternoon
many being killed on both sides,
The Shah sent the Cossacks and ar
tillery to surround the parliament
building as result OF the par
lament's ultmatum refusing to hand
over certain persons whose arrest the
Shah had ordered An officer and SO
soldiers requested the assembly to
surrender five men who had been
leaders. in the agitation against the
Shah This being refused the officer
left the men to guard the doors while
he proceeded to military headquarters
for furthre instructions. An hour or
so later and before the troops had
taken any action, bomb was thrown
from a roof among the Cossacks 1t
killed two horses and did other dam
age and created a panic owing to the
absence OF the officer, The latter hur-
ried back and was fired at The Cos
sacks returned the fire and there was
a lively exchange which continued for
three hours
Later artillery was sent into action
and shelled the assembly building for
several hours. When all was over II
was found that casualties on both
sides were very heavy. Apparently
blank shells were used at the begin
ming, as the damage to the buildings
was very slight for a considerable
time. A man who fought on the roof
of the building says he and several
others fired steadily into the troops
until the ammunition was exhausted
and the rifles were too hot to hold
Eventually shot crashed through
the parliament building and the Cos
sacks charged, the occupants of the
building fleeing. The soldiers had no
sooner entered the place than they
began to loot it, next turning their
attention to the neighboring shops.
Hundreds of people, who few days
ago assembled before the parliament
building and demonstrated against the
Shah, now proceeded to the work OF
demolishing the building, with cries

Good Eve, cuchuiIIin!

Who can set bounds to the soaring
Imagination of the Celt? An enthusi-
astic New Yorker recently watching a
game of hurling-which resembles Ia
crosse-between stalwart teams, was
moved to ask President Conway of the
Irish Athletic association how far a
good man could drive the ball.
We'll, I'll tell you." responded Mr..
Conway, with twinkle in his eye that
contradicted his serious speech. ''in
the good old days when Cuchuillin was
champion of Ireland, the king and all
the nobility were assembled at the
great games of Tailtin. Cuchuillin
struck up a hurley ball into the sky,
and then walked off to his pavilion and
took a drink of potheen, and strolled
back to the spot in good time to catch
the ball on his hurley. Harper s
