This Cowpunehsf Knew.

Once upon time, not so long ago,
a couple of cowpunchers found tnem-
selves guests in the home of minis
ter of the gospel whose custom was
to hold family worship of morning
and to conclude the same, by asking
each one present to give some quota
tion from the Scriptures. One after
another repeated some text until at
last it came the turn of Jim Bulstoke
of the Crowfoot ranch.
my dear young friend,'' said the
dominic, as he saw the latter hesitat-
ing, surely you can recall some verse
from the Bible?"
Jim's face was bathed with profnse
perspiration, but at last there came
to him some approximation of men,
ory of something he had read or heard
at some stage of his life about the
first chapter OF Genesis: At last he
broke out: "God made the word.p
The dominic lifted hand to hide a
sudden smile, but bowed to Jim's
neighbor in the circle. Curley was
even worse off than Jim had been,
and for the life of him could not think
of anything. At last, remembering
the occasional virtue of good bluff,
he twisted one foot around his chair

Bagging on Free List.

Senator McLaurin made quite a
point when he carried his motion
through the Senate placing cotton
bagging on the free list. This is a
great victory, and one that will re-
dound to the benefit of the cotton
producers of the South, provided the
amendment is enacted into law. An
effort to place cotton ties on the free
list also failed by rather close vote.-

NEED OF new
CITY BRIDGE
South WiIminetOnians. An
nOyed by Delay, Think Third
Street Structure Should
be Larger

That traffic on the Christiana river is
growing larger with surprising rapdity
is fact made evident not alone in the
reports OF the harbor master. Persons who
use the Third street bridge both afoot and
by trolley every day are complaining
loudly OF the delays caused by the open
ing of the draw bridge to permit vessels
to pass.
Almost every other trolley car to South
wilmington or TO New Castle and Della
ware city is delayed two or three and
sometimes five minutes by the opening OF
the draw bridge. Particularly is this true
in the morning. when many worlSingmen
cross the bridge to the various industrial
plants on either this or the other side of
the river. A few mornings ago not less
than 1--WE vessels passed while tho bridge
was open. much to the annoyance Of the
impatient passenger.
Residents Of South Wilmington who must
use the bridge frequently believe that the
draw bridge has had its day and that a
modern suspension bridge under which
vessels of all size could pass should be
constructed The demand, of course, has
not yet been made in concert and has no
organization to support it. Strangers, how
ever, can learn from the remarks of trol-
ley passengers that the draw bridge is
extremely unpopular and that il is but a
matter Of time when there VIII be con-
certed movement by the residents of South
Wilmington for improved connection with
the central part OF the city.
