WITH the prospect af city de-
livery of mail at hand, it will be
necessary for the homes Of Milford
to be numbered according to Ordin-
ances which govern numbering
houses on each street. About doz-
en- years ago, the houses were num-
bered but at that time there was
no expectation Of free delivery Of
mail to be considered, so that the
work was done in an Indifferent
manner, and many have since been
painted over, or destroyed, while
many new buildings have come
into existence since then. 1t will
be best for an individual, or COM
pany to take this matter up, so
that the numbering can be done,
not only properly and in accord
with the ordinances, but that it
may be done neatly. Really, it
would be better to have the work
done under authority of Town
Council. Then agains the pave
ments will have to be kept up to a
standard required by the govern
ment; but, this is a very small mat
ter, as Milford has excellent pave
ments generally; yet, there are a
few exceptions, and Town Council
can and will regulate them under
the paving ordinances. We would
suggest that all citizens look after
their paving, and put it in order
before hand.

THE farmers have not received
any great surplus Of money from
the crops of this season, but all
have met expenses and made a liv-
ing. The continuous prosperous
years for ten years past have made
all fruit growers, and most agricul-
turists very fore-handed just the
same. New dwellings, new barns,
repairs. painting and generally
more comfortable conditions have
followed while the prices of land
has steadily advanced each year.
With this general improvement
there has been a perceptible growth
Of sentiment favorable to good
roads-the result of occasional ex-
perimenting with shells, clay,
gravel and even stone to better
condition of the public highways,
This needs considerable fostering
in the shape of demonstration as to
what can be done. In Kent county
we have no hope for any permanent
improvements Of the roads, until
after another legislative session;
but in Sussex, thanks be, the old
incompetent road system will be
wiped out Of existence at January
1st, 1910, and a modern and bust
ness-like plan of caring for our
highways will be installed. The
practical success of this new plan
will depend altogether upon the
road engineer selected-intO whose
hands the success or failure Of the
work is placed. Sussex county is
amply able to pay her debts and at
thesame time build improved roads;
all she wants is chance.

CARVING a Watch.

new In watch lore" said the city sales
man. 81 don't know whether this is
true or not, but an old matchmaker
told me. bought watch of him the
other day. 1t was cheap watch. He
said:
"'What pocket are you going to ear
ry your watch in-the right or left?'
81 told him the left.
"'Then,' said he, 4 will regulate 1t
for the left
81 asked what difference 1t made
and he declared that watch runs
faster on the left side than ON the
right, so to keep 1t from gaining time
he regulates it accordingly. In fine
watches the difference is hardly worth
considering, but in watches of cheap
make like mine 1t is very noticeable
l asked for scientific reason for this
variation. He could give none; said he
only knew 1t was true, and then,
whether he was taking or not, he pre-
tended to regulate my watch for the
left pocket"-New York Sun.

WHY the Jud oe Paid.

A physician. says u medical journal
that vouches for the truth of the story,
was once summoned In haste to attend
the child of n family that lived in two
rooms in the heart of Il large American
city-not New York. The child had
been seized suddenly and seriously
and just at election time. The mother
was In despair, and when the doubt
full prognosis was given she broke
into wailing and violent self condem-
nation for some horrible sin Of the
family to which she said the child's
illness was due-a direct punishment
for their crime. She would go and
curse the magistrate for 1t all, her
husband should resign from 1.-THE
force" and such evil ways should be
renounced forever.
Curious to know how the magistrate
could be held responsible for the
child's illness, the doctor finally Sc
cured the confession that the crime of
the poor conscience stricken woman
consisted in allowing the names of
many fraudulent voters to be regis
tered as residing in her house. in
swearing to the lie, etc. The magis-
trate also had demanded this of all
the neighbors in return for indescrib-
able political favors.
The child recovered, and the magls-
trate paid the physicians bill.

A Very Restful Rest.

Adolf Menzel the German artist, was
ut one time engaged on IA mural deco
ration. He had rigged up scaffolding
in his studio. on which his model was
requested to stand. For two long
hours the poor poseur stood up aloft
in most fatiguing posture. Menzel
in the meantime worked at his sketch,
needless of the fact that his model was
growing tired.
At length the model found it neces-
sary to speak. Herr professor" said
he, "how about recess?"
Menzel apologized profusely for hiN
forgetfulness. Certainly, certainly,
my dear SIR" said he. "Come down
and rest yourself Bit"
The model had clambered from the
scaffolding to the ladder, which led
down from it to the studio floor.
"StopW cried the artist suddenly.
'"That pose is fine! Don't move mus
cler
And once more the model was forced
into strained rigidity, while the enthu-
siastic craftsman set about sketching
him.
At the end of half an hour Menzel
looked up from his work. 'There,"
said he; "that will do nicely! Get back
on the scaffold. We have had our
rest. Let us get back to work again."
