FNDOWMENT OF CHuRCHEs.

A CCORDING to the recent financial statement
L of ST. Andrews Episcopal Church the en-
dowment fund amounts TO almost $4,000, a COM
Portable The problem Of the support of
what are called down town" churches in cities
is being solved by endowment funds And this
is the proper solution Churches in down town"
districts should not be abandoned. An endow-
ment fund is very good thing and more and more
is the tendency to endow churches. Hospitals and
colleges are endowed and why not churches?
There is also gratifying disposition to take care
of rural cemeteries by means of endowment
funds Not so many years ago cemeteries in the
country districts throughout Delaware we're gen.
orally neglected to the dscredit of persons who
had relatives buried in them There is nothing
more unpleasant 10 see than a country grave
yard falling into decay
On the other hand nothing is more credtable
than to a rural cemetery carefully kept And
a model cemetery cared for is Old Drawers,
beautifully situated on rising ground near
Odessa The friends Of Old Drawers meet every
year and gatherings like that at Old Drawers
are held at other noted burying places in rural
Delaware.
Endowments good for cemeteries and
churches in the rural districts as we'll as for
churches in cities Our people are beginning to
look at this matter in a different light from what
they did in the past. People with means when
making their wills should remember the churches
and the cemeteries in which they are interested.

Prom what we hear the sentiment in Kent
county is that the new road should follow the
present state road. Certainly between Dover and
Smyrna for instance the present state road is best
adopted for the boulevard If an entirely new
road we're 10 be built il would mean that although
the present highway would be largely used and
years would elspse before it would be improved
Farmers and others would continue to travel over
II whether improved or not, regardless of the
boulevard il the latter located in the western
part Of Kent The cost Of following the present
state highway would be much less than the cost

The only persons opposed to the Canadian
treaty are some of the farmers and the lumber
and the paper trust. Governor Osborne of Mich
gan, himself a noted farmer demolished the ar
guments Of the farmer opponents of the Cana
dian agreement and everyone knows that the
lumber and the paper trusts are simply looking
after their own interests. President Taft show
ed up the nature of the opposition at his Chicago
speech but regard for the President or regard for
anything else does not effect special interest SEN

ments, Mr.. Mayor. Try TO select men to elevate
the public service rather than depress it.
The satisfaction of having done this would be
much more than the recompense which would
come to the man who simply plays supposedly
cunning politics and has always political future
in mind. The political future OF the Mayor-eect
will take care of itself if he makes proper sp-
pontments and tries to do the right thing. A
man who does that even in Delaware will find that
he is stronger, much stronger, than all the
petty schemers and vote manipulstors put
tog :ther. Don't listen to the whispers of men
who themselves have been burden on the party
They are buffers, Mr.. Mayor-elect, with phsn-
tom strength, persons if you did favor for would
growl because you didn't do them greater favor
Take the people into your confidence Mr. Mayor
elect Let your administration be an admnstra-

If you are a ''leetle boy"-or a

down on the river bank on the upper
side of the creek, go up to that black
smith shop and ask that man, whose
hair is snow white, to tell you of when
he saw King William of Germany, long,
long time ago He used to wade in the
River Rhine where Napoleon crossed
with his great army. And if you will
stand around while he is feeding his
chickens, he will tell YOU many inter-
esting stories of his lfe-because the
first time his mother sang him to
sleep was in Prussia-not many days
after August ~, 1S36-his birthday.
LEARNED TO STEAL FIRST.
Before he knew his A. B. C's, he
knew how to steal. One day he was
walking through a prune orchard, he
was hungry and stole some prunes.
And the great big policeman, who was
watching the orchard for the rich own
er, wanted to arrest him and he said he
would lose his job if he didn't. But the
little thief's mother pleaded for him
and mothers plea, you know, can do
many wonderful things for her son
That happened over a half century ago
and this old man tells the story of his
first lesson as if he learned it yesterday

ADVICE TO A YOUNG MAN.


My advice to a young man in the
business world is to go slowly, steadily
"a rolling stone gathers no moss-to
loan no one money, don't take stock in
company unless you have enough
money to choke all the other stock
holders out" advised Mr.. May serious
ly.
ORGANIZED A BRASS BAND.
AT the opening of the Civil War he
organized brass band that cost him
$1,000. He gave Wallace James, the
teacher $50 a month. The members
were: John and Court Babbage, Chas.
Walters, John Wesley Allen, Jesse
Wright, Lou Pate, Jim and Sam Ham
bleton, Lane Woods and Columbus
Beasley. "We had a great time for
four years. Once our band was play
ing Dixie, and Gen. David Murray's
mother tried to pull the horn out of my
mouth, but she didn't" laughed Mr..
May.
WAS SURE YOUNG ONCE.
Mr.. May said when he was a young
fellow that dancing was his chief de-
light-danced all night and would shoe
horses all the next day. A game of
cards was always joy to him. He
never played for money, but once he
won thirty-six turkeys and thought he
was going to have many days of feast
ing, but his wife wouldn't cook a single
turkey. This was the first disappoint
ment "Rebecca" gave him, and he says
if he had listened more to her in regard
to many things, he would have been
far better off today.
THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS.
Mr.. May says the best happiness is
not the good luck that comes to you
not unexpected riches, but pleasure
that you make yourself. "My greatest
pleasure is standing behind the anvil
where have been sixty-two years.
would rather blacksmith than smoke"
AS he said this he pulled out pipe
that Mr.. Murray brought him from
Germany.
WANTS TO LIVE ON.
81 want to live always, Cloverport Il
Gods foundation, remarked Mr.. May
He enjoys his children and is PROUD
of his grand children, but his baby
(Raymond)-is the joy of his heart
The last few days Mr.. May has no
been able to leave the home of hi
daughter, Mrs. Alvin Simons, but h'
does not look III. He has twinkle II
his eye that shows he has life-much o
II in him-at the age of seventy-fve.
Not one bit of pessimism, nor malice
nor envy leaks out in his little chats
and makes one see that years can drol
all that is not lovely, that old age is al
untarnished honor.
