IT seems that the courts have
driven the liquor. fiends in Sussex
County into their last ditch. and
the rounding up of the scores of
cases at Seaford where the local
option laws have been broken. is a
madening blow to the offenders as
well as to those in sympathy with
them. But by far the most serious
blow Of alto many who have pro
flied by the sale Of barrels of bottled
Jamaica Ginger" to the depraved
people whose life was ruined in for
mer years, was the decision of the
Court last week against the sale of
bottled Jamaica Ginger as a bev-
erage. If we are to have local op-
ton let's enforce the laws. and

Learning From the Boy

In an article, The Boys Are After You" in Success Magazine. Forrest Cris- sey tells the following story:
 ] In South Carolina there was lad who was aroused to a pitch of unquenchable ambition by reading of the success of the boys in the state who had won prizes and | distinction in the corn contests He was unwilling to admit that he could be "beat out by any boy when 1t came to raising corn. for he had the farm spirit strong within him. His father evidently consid- cred the contest as something of a joke at least so far as the winning chances of his own boy were concerned. Finally, in sheer self-defense against the boys per- sistent appeals, he told him that he might l lhave the use of an acre of stump land on the strict understanding that the stump l ing or afterworlS should not involve tho outlay of so much as a quarter of dol- lar. Day after day the boy toiled at tho heavy task of stump digging. When at last he had cleared all or nearly all the stumps from the measured acre. the fla ther incidentally remarked that he would simply have to have that cleared acre of ground and if the boy was still de- Itermned to try a contest acre. he would have to clear the stumps from another acre for that purpose.
 Even this cruel stroke of injustice did | not dlSnearten the lad He LOOK the spade and pickax and tackled the stumps on an- other acre
 Although the boys legs often Tagged in the course of the toll which he put into his contest acre. his spirit never did. His work of cultivation was as persistent as his appeals to his father had been at tho outset The week of October this corn crop was officially measure and attested. The yield was S4 bushels. while his fa- ther's corn, which adjoined the contest acre on three sides. made yield of only Inine bushels.
 | Here was proof against which even the fathers stubbornness could not hold out. He is now telling his. neighbors: | T wish I'd only known 20 years ago what that boy has proved to me about raising corn; today I would not be about as poor and as naked as . toadr'

Senators Hard Worked Men

From the Washington Times.
 The United States Senate Is pathet- ically good thing for the doctors. Being a senator Is one of the most wearing jobs that man could we'll find. If the truth be told about 1t. the reason so many senators have died in the last few months is that being senator is dead ly occupation.
 During the last weeks of the tariff ses- sion a census of the Senate was made by two of its members. who reported that over half it's members were regular ly under the care of physicians. Bad nerves, bad stomachs, loss of sleep, over work, close confinement in offices and Ill., ventilated Senate chamber constituted the basis of the trouble. The average sen- ator rises to big responsibilities, import ant committee places, etc, at about the age when other men are laying down the most onerous demands on their time. The burdens grow heavier as the men be- come less able easily to bear them.
 But there will continue to be plenty Of comfortably fixed old gentlemen applying for the togas, just the same.

Beauty

My dear girl: You say you want to be beautiful which Is laudabe and proper To be fair of feature and form is woman $ natural desire.
 There's difference.
 Some try to make themselves beauti- full by means of lotions and cosmetics and the practice of the prescriptions on the womans age.
 The beauty they seek Is but skin deep. It 'is of the outside only. They do not seem to know that
 Beautiful thoughts make a beautiful And a beautiful soul makes a beautiful
 face.
 Do you know we are just beginning to discover the power of human thought?
 Thoughts are things" They fashion the body Into health or illness, and they mold the stuff of the soul into goodness or baseness. And
 What soul and body are made to be shows on the face just as the dial of clock infallibly records the doinss within.
 , A really beautiful face Is face trans figured.
 It is lighted from within.
 Just as the candle beams shine through and make luminous the vase in which it is concealed, so does the splendor of the human spirit shine through fiber and nerve and tissue, up and out into human brow and lip and eye and make
 A face illumined!
 However plain may be the features. like the vasesthey become transparent. There is more than a candle inside there is an angel there. And with a beauty that never fades, but grows in splendor to the perfect day. the loveli- ness of the angel glows.

To a Mother

1 Dear Madam:
 l am mere man. and incapable of
 some things advisory, but I wonder if
 you realize how grave mistake it may
 be to overindulge your daughter. l Naturally you try to shield your child
 to save her from hardships; you efface l yourself and sacrifice yourself for her. l For that are you a mother. l Nevertheless your self inflicted martyr
 dom may work serious harm to your daughter
 | For instance: l l have in mind a good mother who 1 shaved and pinched, hardened her hands and bowed her back-shortened her life. in fact-that her daughter might attend | fashionable. finishing schoo:'' | The daughter graduated and Returning home discovered that she was out of touch with the old farm ways. | Her education should have broadened and | sweetened the child, but it did not. It simply unftted her. | The sequel? In sheer desperation the fretting dis | contented girl ran away with a smooth adventurer and was finally ruined. An extreme case? Maybe. But the girls undoing was the out come of wrong maternal policy that taught the child she ought to have what
 she wanted and that all things must be sacrificed to her 'career." She Is rare child who may be thus retted and< without harm. The tender solicitude of the doting
 mother is noble in its self abnegation, but it is likely to be carried to the ex- treme of danger te the child. Let the girl face the realities. It is not harsh to put burdens upon her. She must get a sane view Of life by meeting hardships, conquering diff culties, bearing burdens, facing responsi- bilities Else you deceive your child {; else vo,i~ sacrifices will make her selfish ungrateful and. miserable. There is but, one way to mako char acter. Ease and luxury will not do it.

When Mark Twain Fished
the Plttsburg Gazette-Times.

From the Pittsburg Gazette-Times.
 Mark Twain," a magazine editor said brought out Joan of Arc anonymously The book was one of his failures, but he was proud of it. Before he acknowl. edged its authorship he sometimes fished for compliments about 1t.
 One evening at dinner Mark Twair said carelessly to a senator:
 Are you a novel reader?'
 ' Yes, a great novel reader, was tho reply.
 I don't suppose you're following thai anonymous new serial, Joan of Arc?"
 ' Indeed l am, though, every install ment'
 What do you think of it? Is Il good?'
 That's hardly a fair question to ask me- the senator replied. He knew the books real author. You see, l wrote Joan of Arc' myself. D
