How true are the words Of "A. H. &
McQ nilkin, editor Of the Inland
Printer, Chicago. who, speaking on
the subject. A Printers Type, says.
What wonderful thing is print
er's type! Assembled with other
letters into words and sentences, it
brings to use through centuries long
past, the vital thoughts from the
mind Of genius It brings from lips
long crumbled into dust the stirring
call of duty. the message Of hope, Of
charity, of love and forgiveness. AS
life goes on the power Of the letter
grows. Vast machines take it with
It's fellows, marshalling into ranks
and lines, and it's impress is whirled
to vast distances awakening and
making true the hopes and dreams
Of men. We who place the letters
day by day will pass, and they will
fix our memory according as we are
worthy or unworthy. This little
leaden particle is the recorder-of the
world. It is the herald Of the world
to come .
Were it not for printers type, how
completely would the past be lost to
the present, the present to the flu
fure. It is to this little recorder of
events that we owe our knowledge
OF the past. Had it never been en-
ployed the triumphant march of
civilization would have been lost to
us with the passing of each genera
ton. The achievements and accom-
plishments which history records,
would be unknown. Save for the
silent and colossal pyramids, the
present generation would never
know that the Egyptian and Baba-
lonian empires fourished in the
early dawn Of civilization and the
greatness which once belonged to
Rome would lie buried beneath the
ashes of that once naughty empire.
Lost also for all time would be the
words of wisdom which have flown
from the mouths of past sages since
the days when the venerable Solo
mon held court in far distant Jeru-
salem, words which still stir the
hearts and impress the minds Of men.
OF what the past once was we of to-
day learn through the use of the
printers type; Of what the present
now is. those who follow after may
learn from the imperishable records
OF the same little leaden account
ant. Truly, wonderful thing is
the printers type,

AND it came to pass that GER

the cup of sorrow to its dregs, was
visited by Opportunity. And OPP

And the man arose and went
forth gladly, and returnd again to
his fathers house. And great was
the rejoicing over the return of
him whom they had mourned as
lost. He was fed and clothed, and
was received again into the hearts
of his brethren. High hopes and
great ambitions abided in his heart
for he was at peace with all man
kind.
Butas the days passed he allowed
the memory of his former haunts
and evil companions to gain foot
hold, and being faint of heart he
at last yielded to their beckonings
and returned to dwell with them.
And Behold! alittle later, as OPP
portunity passed hurriedly before
a gloomy line of prison cells, he
heard a voice family calling his
name. And he answered and said:

citation, held at Gentlemen's Driving Park,
Wilmington, last fell, the former exhibi'
tors and members of the association have
Joined forces and are determined to make
the 1911 fair the biggest event ever known
in Delaware.
A general change in the grounds will
be made. The women's department will
he housed in the club house, thus insur-
ing project protection in the event Of
storm. The porches will be screened and
the two rooms which comprise the club
quarters will be attTactively fitted up for
the display of the Women's exhibits.
Already 1SO feet of space in the farm ma.
chinery section have been reserved, the
largest reservation ever known. This will
doubtless be record breaker. The horse
department will be enlarged. Box stalls
will be built from Pennsylvania avenue
around the east fence. These box stalls
will be used for the heavy draft horses.
Particular effort is being made to make
this section an unusually interesting one.
One of the large dealers and breeders
from Pennsylvania will be there with very
large showing, such as has never been
seen in this State. This section was an
enormous attraction last year, but this will
be the greatest showing ever known.

Anderson Sent to Workhouse

Mr.. Ralph Anderson, the young n nau
who took Mr.. George W. Rhoades' team
on March 18th last, here in Middletown,
and later on Thursday evening April 9th,
Mr.. James R. Sudler's team in SmyrnP,
has made full confession of the whole
affair. Il seems he drove the Rhoades
team from Middletown that same night
in March, to Lincoln City and there sold
the carriage to bis OWa father, then drove
over to Marvel's Corner and sold the
horse to Mr.. Maxwell on the assurance Of
the boys uncle, living near there that it
was all right. After spending few weeks
at home be came up on the train toSmyr-
ma and there stole Mr.. James r. Sudler's
team, and drove over into Maryland
where be traded the Sudler buggy off for
the red dog cart which he had when ar
rested. His subsequent movements we're
detailed in our last issue.
Mr.. Anderson, his father came up from
Lincoln City last Monday evening. He
failed to get the message in time to see
bis son here. He spent the night with
Constable Dickinson, and in the morning
went to Wilmington to see his srring boy,
ct the workhouse. He is an upright,
industrious farmer, highly respected in
bis community, has three other children,
and is deeply grieved at his sons course.
Upon the advice of the Attorney General,
be left the young man in Jail for the May
term OF court. Neither Mr.. James R.
Sudler, of Smyrna, nor Mr.. George W.
Rhoades Of Middlstown wish to prosecute
him, and they hope that in consideration
of his youth-he is just turned 2I-a0d
of it being, it is said, his first offence, and
OF bis full confession and restoration OF
the money received for the horse he sold
that the ssverest penalties of the Law may
not be invoked. Il is pitifuIly sad case,
and shoN what drink will do to ruin a
young man.
It 10 believed, however, that Anderson
has been at The business before. He had
been in the habit Of going off frem home
for several months and Of coming back
with team which he said be bad bought
with money earned by him.
