Endorse w. B. Megear Smyrna, Nomi-
nee For Insurance Commissioner.
ProhibitionistS of Delaware in
State Convention at Dover yesterday
adopted the report of it's nominating
committee, ratifying the following
state ticket: For Governor, Simeon
S. Pennewill, of Greenwood, Repub-
lican nominee; for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, Richard M. Cooper, of Ches-
void, Prohibitionist; for Member of
Congress, William E. Hawkins, of
Wilmington, Prohibitionist; for At
torney-General, Andrew C. Gray, of
Wilmington, Democratic nominee !;
for Insurance Commissioner, William
B. Megear, of Smyrna, Democratic
nominee; for State Treasurer, ThOm-
as j. Gray, of Rridgeville, Demo-
cratic nominee; for Auditor of Ac
counts, Theodore F. Clark, of Della
ware City, Republican nominee.
The Prohibition county committee
will meet next week on Thursday,
to select the nominees for General
Assembly. The move of the nominat-
ing committee of twenty three to en-
dOrse Pennewill for Governor precipi-
tated big fight in the convention,
DR.. Alfred Smith, George w. Todd,
and DR.. A. W. Lightbourne holding
that neither party had given the Pro-
hibitiOnists the nominee they wanted
and that while Senator Pennewill had
voted for local option, yet he was also
charged with political corruption
and being the author of the voters
assistant law which the Prohibition
lists stood pledged to annihilate. They
desired the name of Richard M.
Cooper, prOhibitionist, substituted
for Mr.. Pennewill and agreed to ac-
cept the remainder of the "compos-
ite'' ticket. The Revs. w. o. Hurst,
Robert Watt and John M. Arters de-
clared that it was a question OF
accepting Mr.. Pennewill, ga man
who stood for US, or Mr.. Paynter,
"a man who stood against US. ="
The vote to substitute Cooper was
lost, % to %. After endorsing the
entire state ticket as recommended
by the committee or twenty three,
the coventiOn adopted the picture o.
home as the emblem or the party,
ratified the entire National Prohibi
tion platform, heartily endorsed
Chain and Watkins for the Presi
dency and Vice-Presidency, ant
added resolutions favoring stric
endorsements of the prohibitory law
in Delaware and the abolition of tn,
voters assistant law.

Wilmington and from there to
Reynolds, Hukill & Co., banking
house in Oil City and later married
Miss Maggie Lainbeaton and got
rich. But his particular distinction
was his happy faculty of making
friends and that he became widely
known in the Methodist Church.
There is another w. A. Hukill and
a cousin here in Wilmington that
tells it this way, that if he ever
went from home and got among
strangers and they had occasion to
exchange addresses they would
invariably prick up their ears and
anxiously ask are you any kin to
George, till it got to be so monoto-
nous that it seemed to him he was
travelling on Georges credit. He
was sent to the General Conference
from his church several times and
become generally known to the
leading men of the general confer
ence. Now to corioborate what l
said of my namesake. Bishop
McCabe was at Grace Church
Wilmington shortly after George P.
Hukill died and l among many other
introductions he received, gave my
name to which he very naturally
said, brother to George, my, what
did ha have to die for He diad in
Oil City, Pa, May 81, 1901, and was
buried at Franklin City, Pa, where
his widow survives him. William

HARTLEY COW SETS THE PACE
If Other Bovines EmuIated Her, Beef
Would be Plentiful Everywhere

Hartley, Sept. 26.-If all the cows
throughout the East and Middle West
would follow in the footsteps of John
Philips cow of Hartley, there would
be no further danger of absolute
control of the country's products by
the meat trust. The Phillips cow,
late on Thursday night gave birth to
fine twin calves and mother and
offspring are doing well. The
neighbors of Mr.. Phillips have
figured out what relief would be
brought the working people OF
the country, if each cow,-which
statistics show becomes a mother
five times-would bring forth two
calves instead of one, and if every
body would stop eating veal.

life; yet near, so masterful, monopoliz-

and was still unanswered.
He turned to meet her mute scru-

his voice wooing. You're glad to

threw his arm about her waist with a
motion both swift and gentle, as
might be a panther mothers. and
kissed her on the forehead.
Don't, Gideon!" Stella cried
breathless, struggling unavaflingly, yet
not quite sorry that his arm did not
yield. Always with Gideon present
came the memory of their comradship
a comforting sense of his strength, a
desire to lean upon him. If he would
only be content with brotherliness!

If l were your brother by blood as
am by rearing, you'd take my kiss, and
kiss me back. Isn't the tie almost as
close? We've been so much more tc
each other than ordinary brother and
sister," He dropped his arm and
stepped back; and the consideration
the gentleness and regret in his tone
subdued Stella with quick contrition
"Oh, Gideon, 1 don't mean to be
cold, unkind; but I'm afraid of-ot
what l see in your eyes,
He looked long into her face. Dear

When she looked out he was neither
to be seen nor heard. She stood a
moment in the open doorway, striving
to quiet the tumult of soul and body.
The weakness of reaction came quick
ly. The scene rehearSed grew in por-
tent No fiery courage rose to meet
the memory of his threats; yet they
grew more dreadful; and the COM

manned. A dozen uncertain plans
chased one another through her whirl-

say? She could not send heart TRACE

She would write-get Uncle Billy to
deliver her letter in person. She wrote
a feverish letter, destroyed it, and
wrote again; then fastened out to find
Uncle Billy. In the kitchen she came
upon Sally B. experimenting the extra
baking.

CHAPTER xx.-Continued.

Sally B. sped away to the kitchen.
Stella detained Uncle Billy second in
the hall, her hand on his coat lapel.
She had intended to speak with him
about schools, where to go, how to set
about the new life; but these ques-
tions must wait. His trip and its sue
cess were the only things that mat
tered now.
Aren't you going to rest?" she
asked. There are plenty others to
work Go to bed early, won't you,
Uncle Billy?'
He crossed his warm, strong hand
over hers with fond pressure. 1t was
sweet to have her womanly solicitude,
to feel her near him, her soft hand
pulsing under his own. "Afteh the
fight is time enough to rest, little girl.
l must see that my wagon and stock
are all right for the first hard drive.
I'll have to trust to luck afteh that, or
to the hostlehs-that's about the same
thing"
We'll, rest as much as you can,
then. I'll have a luck flower for your
button-hole when you start" She
smiled into his eyes, her own shining
with excitement. You'll win, Uncle
Billy! l know iti'
She watched him down the street to
the stage barn, where she knew no
item of preparation would escape his
vigilant eye. Yet there was time to
spare. Would he take advantage of
it? Perhaps not. She knew he was
master of that perfect relaxation that
prepares for stress as we'll as sleep
does.
Alvin had dropped his study, Viola
was fighting her trouble alone and
Sally B. was in the kitchen. Stella,
| left with no pressing duty, wandered
| into the dark parlor. Lighting it was
| Viola's task, but she had forgotten to-
night, to Stella's satisfaction.
She drew a chair to the window that
| faced the dim mountain across the
| gorge, closed her senses to the little
| world about her and was quickly OFF
/ with the sprites of the night to keep
her hearts tryst with Alfred. Not
quite alone did they two meet this
night in fancy's fair halls. Viola, AL
vim, even Sally BIS uncompromising
black eyes interrupted Stella's dreams.
Minutes licked by unheeded. Hur-
| rying feet came and went; calls, cries,
hasty commands. odors of unusual
cooking floated past inadequate doors
| DuI SJella was obvious Jlll QrauSnI
of air struck her cheek sharply and
| Gideon's voice called her.
She started to her feet Gideon,
Where-you said Tomorrow in your
message, Who told you 1 was here?'
No one. L can always find you
Stella. Something tells me. The in
slant 1 opened the door 1 knew you
were here A kind of fragrance
could tell it
Don't, Gideon she interrupted
She was looking for matches, but his
alert sense caught the aversion in tone
and movement.
Your father once told me that q
Pima princess was my great-grand
mother. 1 cannot escape my heritage
from her" He took the match she had
struck and lighted the hanging lamp
The flame shone full on his upturned
face, and Stella gazed at him fas
cinated, while he adjusted wick and
shade. He seemed to her excited gaze
the concentrated beat and pulse of q
hundred lives controlled by the master
will that spoke through his burning
eyes Often she wondered about his

The slow rate at which population
is increasing in France is becoming
still slower. In fact, according to the
latest announcement there is no in
crease, but an actual decrease. The
bfrthrate has steadily dwindled for a
century the aggregate of births within
that time having decreased from
1907 900 to TIA, 1000 a year. The deaths
in France during 1907 were reported
at 793, 900, which was 19 900 more than
the births. If this is to be a continu-
ing proportion, France may well view
the situation with alarm, and bestir
herself to discover the cause.
