GEORGETOWN

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
GEORGETOWN, March The
Sussex County Medical Society met at
the Eagle Hotel this week and elected
the following officers for the ensuing
year: President, DIR. william P. Orr,
Lewes; vice president, DR.. Robert B.
Hopkins, Milton; secretary, Dr. Joseph
X. Frame, Millsboro. Dr. Orr was
elected president in lieu of DR.. Joseph
B. Waples of this town, resigned. 1t
was decided by the members to hold
their meetings every two months.
Rev. H. o. Keen. pastor of the NJ. P.
Church, in this town, while making an
address to the Christian Endeavorers
a few nights ago. asserted that the
reason the members didn't take any
more interest in the services and have
more "wide-awake" society was be-
cause they were not familiar with the
pledge.
For this purpose a large pledge Of
tho society has been suspended and can
easily be seen from all parts Of the
church.

LoOking at a Woman.
ge. DIAMOND Times.

Muskeege, Oklahoma Times.
Two men We're seated in a street car
the other day. when an exceptionally
beautiful woman entered. by Jovel''
exclaimed one of them, under his
breath TO his companion. what a fire
looking womanl"
Unfortunately and quite unintention-
ally on the part of her admirer. the
subject of his admiration overheard
the remark She shifted the air
haughtily and sat down with an ex-
preston of superior resentment.
That was where the lady made a
mistake. The occasion did not call
for smile. the meaning of which
might have been mistaken. but it did
not demand a silent declaration Of
hostility.
This thing Of looking at a woman to
admire her. in a street car or else
where, is as natural as the feeling Of
warmth that comes from the sunshine
or the commonest expression of joy at
a self-evident benefaction It is natural.
too, for the woman in the case to be
combative on such an occasion; for IN
the mans honest admiration and her

of the fittest. 1t is one of the funda-
mental provisions Of nature. observed
in all her works as manifested in ami
mate objects. that the natural afinities
shall be distinguished by radicalism on
the one hand and conse servatism on the
other; and, when this manifestation
ceases at the psychological moment,
union follows:
We have this condition in the human
race, in animals. insects and even in
flowers. There are some species OF
flowers in which their representatives
of the female type bloom through a
whole summer with the calm haughti-
ness of the woman who boarded the
street car as above noted, but at the
last moment yield and spontaneously
bow in response to .he pleadings of
their flower wooers, who. without this
concession Of womanlv grace, could
never reach them. There are many
species of insects and vegetation that
instantly sacrifice their lives to this
yielding, Notwithstanding long period
of resistance during which their atti-
tude was like that Of the woman in she
street car.
Hence we repeat that this thing Of
looking at a woman-so it be not over
done-should cause her to hesitate be-
fore taking offense. If It were not
for this common evidence of admira-
tion there would be no firesides and no
homes on the face Of the earth The
world would be peopled by wild ami
mails and serpents, seeking to devour
one another. Nothing except perpetual
warfare could exist. and the tendency
of the race would be backward toward
the oyster and the dark recesses Of
Shiny caves. rather than upward to-
ward Man and the sunlight.

MIR. FORD as A PARTISAN.

W f SHOULD regret TO learn and to DC
w really conscious of the fact, OF even oi
the alleged TACT that that veteran OF many po-
litical battle. the Hon. Peter ]. Ford, has ceased
10 be partisan. And yet strange rumors have
been floating around that MIR. Ford IS not real
partisan-that membership IN the wafer ooalu
has changed him.
Without partisanship Mr. Ford would not be
the same Peter J. Ford. He would be another
person not half so interesting, so entertaining or
So Illuminating. With Mr.. Ford on the Shelf re-
tired or asleep the political trays of the day. es-
pecially the combats within the Democratic party,
would be tame We should be much surprised to
hear that Mr. Ford was sitting in the political
mourners row, divested OF partisanship. We
should be as much surprised TO learn that Mr..
Ford has abandoned partisanship we would be
10 hear that Hon John F. Salisbury proposed 70

dent
For many year Mr. Ford has been a political
leader. He has been in the thicSest Of the Demo
cratic fights, sometimes glad, sometimes mad
somtimes boosting his friends, and then again
"swatting' his enemies.
If Mr.. Ford should retire as partisan, a
Democratic State convention would be as tame
as a prayer meeting. hamilton would prevail It
takes men like Mr.. Ford TO give vim and zest TO
politics. They are the champagne of political
life At many a Dover convention Mr.. Ford has
been in the thickest of the fray. Often he wins,
often he loses. He lost fight when the Demo-
Gratis nominated Mr.. Pennewill for governor, and
had Mr.. Ford's advice been taken it might have
been better for the party. In many a battle in
this city Mr. Ford has maintained control Of the
party and about his only reward has been mem
bership in the Water Department, managing
muddy and bad water, and incidentally keeping
an eye on the positions We wonder why he
should like the pesky old Job
But Mr.. Ford has accused Mr.. Knox OF being
a partisan Mr.. Knox, he declares "takes the
cake" Now why doesn't Mr.. Knox issue chal-
lenge to Mr. Ford to sit at a political dinner at
which only the microbe-laden Brandywine water
should be served as drink Let the feast be a
grand one outrivaling those almshouse dinners.

sumo much honey while rearing brood.
This is the cause Of spring dwlndling and
probably more bees are lost between
the first OF March and the time Of apple
blossoms than at any other season Of the
year.
The colonies should be examined and If
they are short Of stores a sufficient
amount should be given them to carry
them over this trying period.
on some nice warm day also, the bot
tom board should be cleaned on for them.
During the winter bits Of wax, etc, drop
to the bottom of the hive and then when
the bees begin to fly in the spring they
carry this all out but what a wonderful
help to do this for them at a time when
they are short Of workers and both their
numbers and strength should be con-
served. The bees die off very fast after
they begin to work in the spring, and
any help that can be given them will
richly repay the owner.

This Old Testament character stands
for moral heroism and purity.
Born in Jerusalem. Of royal descent.
at the age of 1e he was taken to
Babylon among the first band of can
tives The court at Babylon was the
scene of idolatry and dissipation. The
King selected from among the captives
the nobelest looking Youths to train
them for his service. They were
taught the Chaldean language ard
literature. The bill of fare was pre-
scribed. So much meat and so much
wine per diem. But Daniel purposed
in his heart that he would not drink
the wine nor eat the Kings meat.
1t was a solemn resolution, springing
from conscientious conviction, and fix
ed in the will.
He would not eat the Kings meat
because the food had been consecrated
most likely to heather gods; to eat It
would make him a participant in idol
atruos practices. He could not count
enance idolatry even though a king had
commanded It. He remembered thas
God had written upon tables of stonc.
Thou shalt have no other gods before
me-" He must obey God rather than
man.
He also saw the effects of intemper-
ance upon those who drank wine. The
wrecks of intemperance were In evi
dence. Drunkenness led to Babylons
overthrow.
The city was captured by Cyrus
while the guards We're intoxicated.
Daniel was inspired by a lofty pur-
pose. We can but admire his moral
courage. In the modern school Of ex-
! pediency Daniels course would be
merciiessly condemned. To disobey 50
capricious a king might imperil his life
But a great principle was at stake. and
he could not compromise. He was
conscientious. Loyalty to God" was
! his motto.
His total abstinence was the result
! of profound religious conviction.
There are bulrush Christians and bull
wark Christians.
a bulrusn Christian goes with sht
/ crowd. A bulwarlS Christian stands

Daniel was n bulwark Christian. He
had fixed purpose. and this gave him
strength. To dilly-dally with tempta.
tion means defeat Say mo" with an
| emphasis. No man can do mucl
/ without a fixed purpose.
We hear II said that imam is g
/ creature Of circumstances"
Daniel mastered circumstances Thi.
( youth kept his temperance pledg,
under the most difficult conditions.
There is inspiration in a lofty pur-
pose. This purpose prepared DAME
for future greatness. Fidelity tC
principle brought him success. It al
ways does. His temperance principles
gave him a vigorous body and hand
scme face. God blest him.
The King bestowed upon him gilft
and made him ruler over the provincl
/ OF Babylon. Later Cyrus promotes
him to honor.
No moral hero shall lose his crown
"The Master says: BE thou faith
ful unto death and 1 will give thee
crown Of life"

BEES ON THE FARM
BY Joel S. eHHlIan.

The interest in the display of bees and
honey which 1 made at the Grange Fair
last fall has gone far beyond the limits
ef the State. Gleanings in Bee Culture,
published IN Ohio, a bee magazine OF
international circulation gave a descrip-
rion Of the exhibit illustrated with nine
large half-tone cuts.
Your admirable souvenir edition Of THE
JOURNAL which went into so many
homes in this State served to stir up an
interest in bees among many who have
heretofore kept bees In an Indifferent way
as well as among others who have given
the subject little or no thought.
This evidence Of interest on the part
OF so many Of the people into whose
homes THE JOURNAL enters suggests
to me the propriety and value Of series
of articles on the handling and manage
ment OF bees which, doubtless would be
welcomed by many Of the readers Of THE
JOURNAL
The little busy bees will soon be at
work again after the rest Of winter and
It is remarkable how early they viii lie

will be so much better for the plants.
! The bees touch will give added life to
the plant and a deepened shade to the
color Of the bloom.
/ It may be a surprise to some TO know
/ that this has been a hard winter on bees

unless great care is exercised the 'oss

Up until about the first Of February
the weather was so mild that the bees
consumed an unusual amount of honey, 50
much that many colonies are short OF
stores. Since that time. however. The
weather has been sufficiently cold 70 keep
the bees quiet The ideal winter for bees
is when the weather is generally cold IN
an occasional day warm enoagh for them
to have a flight.
During the cold weather the bees are
clustered. the ones on the outside OF the
cluster and those on the inside exchang-
ing places to even up the heat. and dur
ing this time they do not use up any
honey. but when a warm day comes they
take I'm a supply OF honey sufficient to
last them several weeks.
Now that warmer weather is expected
