OF the life Of the soldiers in the west,
and the Indians, and the drills and
reservation work Of the cavalry In the
west. They cheered at the army pic
lures, cheered almost as much as they
did later for old glory and the liberty
bell.
But somehow or other, when
Noodles" told them about Mckinley
the boys felt as II they'd like to cry.
II It hadn't been so babyish-well,
they weren't going to act like girls
they rubbed their eyes with the back
Of their hands and sat very straight
They weren't going to let tho fell
low next know they we're crying. But
but they felt like II, somehow
Queer to them, isn't It, how things
make a fellow feel?
The show over the 1900 Riddles
left the theatre in just two minutes.
Noodles" gave the crowd instruc-
tions on leaving. and his instructions
we're so carefully followed that a fire
department officer, who was present,
said he never saw as large an audi
ence leave a building IN so short a
space OF time.
Before leaving the kiddies sent up
cheer for Manager Dockstader; Arthur
Clark, the Garrick Orchestra leader:

thanks to Mr.. Dockstader, Mr. Clark
and Mr.. Dawson for their courtesies.
After the show this morning "Noo-

march to THE JOURNAL Office. Five
hundred youngsters were In the bunch.
On the way dawn they met Old Kriss
in a mule team. However, much the
kids thought Of Kriss they thought
more Of Noodles" and would have
bupplanted Noodles" on the team
had he not objected. Arriving at THE
JOURNAL corner, Noodles" had the
Riddles scramblng for pennies until
big officer concluded that traffic
could not move unless Noodles" and
his little friends separated
All the boys are agreed that "Noo-

They say he could be mayor Of the
town any old time.
Noodles" will leave Wilmington
tomorrow afternoon. The newsles
Will miss him, but his advice and his

Objects TO Fare Raise.

objects to Fare Raise.
Editor of THE EVENING JOUR-
-Bookkeepers wanted at the
Wilmington and Philadelphia Trac-
tion Office sure when that new sched-
ule goes into effect: A ticket or trans
fer to the city line then one cent to
Richardson Park, another penny to
Newport, two pennies to Stanton. Now
as a steady rider and father OF a big
family of whom four of us ride and
pay not less than So a month in car
fare. want to know why, when they
say FIVE cents from Richardson Park
in, with transfer, why isn't it the
same distance coming out? l am
sure It is the same distance in as out.
Why the penny raise? 1t means TWEEN
ty-two cents a week to each person
who comes home to dinner 1t means
that we will carry our lunch. Result,
the company will be out sc cents on
six days. If it were cents each way
il would be in 60 cents on six days
Can the Wilmington City Railway
Company name any city in the United
States that gives as poor service as
we receive-ride in older, rattle-trap
or refrigerator oars-than we do?
The ten-minute schedule is o. K
Here we are, Ashley, Glynrich and
Richardson Park. Three years ago
the company extended the cent fare
to us when the population was about
so. Now it is about 500 and you re-
duce Newport and Stanton a little,
ah, very little, and add it on to
Richardson Park. The old saying IFS,
its long lane that has no turn. The
unexpected might happen at Dover this
January. Do the people know that
the Wilmington City Railway Com
pany pays just one-half the licence
to run cars that Philadelphia cars
pay, and l wonder if the city fathers
gets taxes for each car that is run?
The people of Richardson Park
would be satisfied with cent cash
fare and transfer. But, oh, some of
you directors, just glance at the New
port Pike Monday morning or watch
your returns on the day and see who
is the loser. There are Just one hun
dred people who intend to walk to
Elsmere OF Cedar street and patron
lie the Peoples line This is nv last
bunch Of air. We intend to try the
better plan, actions. instead Of words.

There's many a man engaged in till

the agricultural college professors and
lead pencil farming in general, has
got up at a. m. to do chores and has
wound up with them at bedtime and
has literally grown gray headed at the
farming business, who has not up to
the present time learned the simplest
and most important truth in agricul-
ture-that fellow can't keep skinning
his land year after year in the raising
and selling Of raw grain products and
not have his good acres become desti-
tute and impoverished any more than
he can lift himself by pulling on his
boot straps or make water run uphill.
The fact is If the lead pencil were used
by more farmers in simple processes
Of addition and subtraction in the sew

be more profits on paper and in the
