N - man VINO Will not or cannot,

~ y above all the rest, 1t has not
yet been listed.
Prudence Milton as much a. q year
ago discovered that Alfred Ruthven
possessed all the qualities that go to
make man noble and splendid and
brave-no, not brave! A brave man
would have proposed to Prudence long
since. But Alfred. Prudence knew,
was handsome and intelligent. and
prosperous. Just one thing he lacked
--self-conndence. Alfred was hashful
on the. love subject.
A great many men are 90. They
can discuss politics. the musical
glasses. the drama, literature, art.
science and the classics nuently with
q young woman. but they shy away
from the real heart interest like an
: ;aeroplane lodging church steeple.
Why. Prudence had inveigled Alfred
into long walks with her in the sill
very moonlight Of spring and the gol-
den moonlight of summer-all to no
avail. Once, in August. she was boat
ing with him, and she had pretended
TO be afraid the boat would capsize.
What would you do II 1t did?" she
asked him.
Naturally she expected him to reply
that he would plunge In after her
and save her or perish in the attempt.
Such . heroic remark as that would Of
course lead into a more passionate
avowal of his reasons for being will
ing to lay down his young life for her
and then. Of course. he could easily
hop-skip right along to request that,
since he was willing to die for her.
she might consider favorably propo-
sition to share his life with him, or
words to that effect.
But when she asked him. with a
tremulous shake In her lovely voice,
and with world of faith and trust
In her lustrous eyes:
What would you do II the boat
capsized?"
He never even stopped rowing. He
Just said:
1T wouldn't matter much. The wa
ter isn't over three feet deep here"
Prudence almost capsized the boat
from sheer vexation then. When a
woman becomes vexed with man be-
cause he does not realize that he loves

so Alfred might have been seen
stepping hesitaungly up the steps OF
the Milton home on Christmas eve
He carried small package In one
hand. 1t was his intention to deliver
this to whoever came to the door, with
a message that II was for Prudence.
In answer to his ring no less a per.
son than Prudence herself opened the
door. Her eyes were sparkling, her
cheeks were rosy, and In one hand she
held a bunch Of green stuff"
why, Alfred!" she exclaimed
Come right in. I'm putting W the
Christmas green's"
So Alfred came right In, shyly and
slyly depositing the little package on
q small table in the hall as he entered
Prudence led the way to the living

ATTACKED BY HIGHWAYMEN
Charles Maxwell Assaulted and Robbed
on a Road Near Newark

on Road Near Newark
Charged with holding up Charles
Maxwell, in Donnell's woods,
short distance from Newark, on
Tuesday night of last week, and
after beating him until he was
practically unconscious, then rob-
bing him of all the money that he
had in his pockets, Alexander and
Frank Hall colored, have been ar
rested and will be given a hearing
before Magistrate Lovett. They are
brothers and both powerful negroes.
Mr.. Maxwell, who is about 55 years
of age, lives at McClellandsvilIe
About 10 O'Clock Tuesday night
he was on his was home from
Newark, when two men at Donnell's
wood, which is near the negro set
tlement, suddenly stepped out and
ordered him to throw up his hands.
He was then knocked down and rob-
bed Of SO. Is all the money that he
had with him. When he did get to
his feet, the men whom he recogi
nized as negroes, cursed him and
said he had more money than that.
They knocked him down again and
beat him all over the road. Not
satisfied with beating him, one of
them nearly bit a piece out of one
of his ears. His face was a mass
of bruises and cuts. When he got
up and started for his home the
two men had left, going in the di-
rection of Newark. Mr.. Maxwell
could not positively identify the two
negroes, but said he thought they
we're the ones who had beaten and
robbed him.

GEO. v. MASSEY HONORED
Given a Dinner at BelleVue-Stratford,
Philadelphia, Saturday Night.


Philadelphia. Saturday Night.
George V. Massey, general coun-
sci of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
has reached the age of 20 years
though he does not look it or act it
and has been retired. Saturday
night the 152 lawyers who are need
ed to attend the legal affairs of the
company assembled from the various
states and met at the Bellevue
Stratord, Philadelphia, to do honor
to the retiring chief. Tributes of
affection and regard, of appreciation
for his services and his ability were
voiced by such men as Judge George
Gray, of the United States court
Thomas H. Murray, of the force of
counsel; John G. Johnson, lawyer
of eminence and art connoisseur {;
James McCrea, president of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, and others.
1t was a dinner given by the solicit
ors to the "boss." I" The veteran
hero not only of legal battles, but of
battles of wit and brain, was ac-
claimed by eminent men of bench
and bar, and all who knew him ap-
proved of every laudatory word that
was uttered. The big official of
the Pennsylvania railroad were
there to testify to their approval.
1t was not by desire that they parted
company with George v. Massey,
but it was only because it is law
of the company that a man must
retire when he reaches certain age,
and the guest of the evening had
been sent forth to enjoy the rest
of his life without bothering about
the worlds affairs or the affairs of
the railroad with which he had been
connected since long before he grew
a pair of side whiskers-and that
was long ago and almost forgotten.
Stories were told of him, humorous,
some with gentle "knocks," some
of which might have been true, all
of them harmless, but amusing, and
yet other stories were told of his
humanity and his big heartedness.
There was one which was voice d
by Judge Gray of how on one occa-
sion man had lost his life on the
railroad, leaving a widow and child
rem, how Massey had won his case
when the company was sued, and
how, after winning, as it was his
duty to do, he had obtained from
the company generous competence
for the widow and her brood. So
the 152 lawyers and the officials of
the great corporation they represent,
men whose names stand high on the
roster of railroad leaders, united in
their tribute. They had beautiful
souvenir for him, not the customary
loving cup, but a richly bound book,
in which was contained the program
of the evening, the menu and the
signatures Of all participants. 1t
was one of the most successful and
attractive dinners of the season,
and one which affected the guest OF
honor to point where there was q
bit of moisture in his eyes, anc
when he at last arose to speak, il
his voice trembled a bit at the
start, what matters it?

In 1906 lightning killed only 1853
people in this whole country. Ones
chances of death by lightning are
less than two in a million. The
chance of death from liver, kidney
or stomach trouble is vastly greater,
but not if Electric Bitters be used,
as Robert Madsen, of West Burling-
ton. Ia, proved. Four doctors gave
him up after eight months of suffer-
ing from virulent liver trouble and
yellow jaudice. He was then com
pletely cured by Electric Bitters.

FOR TEACHERS
MAY SOON Be CHANGED
STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
TO CONSIDER TEACHERS APPEAL

Permanent Papers For Veteran Peda-
goges Report Submitted by Henry
Ridgley and G. S. Messersmith
The State Board of Education has
under consideration the report of the
Committee on Teachers, comprising
Henry Ridgely and George S. Mes
sersmith, with regard to the issuing
of permanent certificates to the
teachers of all school districts in
the State excepting only the city of
Wilmington. The State Board last
July adopted new rules with regard
to teachers certificates. Before
this year the teachers were granted,
Professional, First and Second Grade
certificates limited as to time to l,
and 5 years. At their expiration,
re-examination was necessary. The
Board has done away with this
continual examining by granting
permanent certificates, upon certain
conditions. The certificates to be
issued beginning with this year,
are Primary and Kindergarten;
Limited Elementary; Permanent
Elementary; Limited Secondary (;
Permanent Secondary; Limited Col
lege and Normal Graduate; Perma
nent College and Normal Graduate;
Special Certificates. The certificates
are good for the entire State. The
limited certificates, good for one
year, may be renewed for two years
On evidence of successful teaching.
Only three limited certificates of
any grade may be given, after that
they must be replaced by a perma
nent certificate, gained by three
years successful teaching and an
examination. The condition is
placed on all permanent certificates
that their holders must, every five
years, pass a written or oral exami-
nation before the Board of Exami-
ners upon at last five of the books
prescribed by the State Board as a
professional reading course, under
penalty of forfeiting their certifi-
Gates. The idea of the Board in
making this condition is to be as
sured that the teachers continue to
progress in their work aud keep up
a high standard. The question now
before the Boa=d is the effect of the
rules upon those now teaching in
the State schools. All certificates
previously granted will be good
until their expiration. The teachers
of the State who have seen ten
years or more of service will be
lenfhently uealt with in the matter
of exa ninations and after showing
their general knowledge to be sat
isfactory will be given permanent
certificates. Teacher of a lesser
number of years of service who have
shown particular ability, will in the
same way be granted permanent
certificates. The Committee on
Teachers will report at January
meeting of the State Board the de-
tailed plans for granting permanent
certificates to those who have beer
on the teaching force of the State
for several years,

Made Speech in Georgetown on Satur-

Two speeches were delivered by
Senator Moses E. Clapp, of Minne-
sofa, the first at Georgetown on
Saturday evening, and the second in
Wilmington at the Avenue Theatre
Sunday afternoon, at 8 o'clock.
They marked the opening of a cam
paign by the Delaware Initiative and
Referendum League. This campaign
has for its purpose an effort to Sc
cure the insertion of initiative and
referendum planks in the State plat
forms of the major political parties
and the endorsement of iniative aud
referendum principles by the can
didates. Among the prominent
speakers the Delaware League is
endeavoring to secure later are SEN
ators Chamberlain and Bourne of
Oregon, and Senator Owen, of Okla
homa. Meetings will be held in
Milford, Lewes, Georgetown, Laurel,
