DUPONT MAY QUIT SENATE

That United States Senator Henry Al.
non DUPONT will try in the very early fu-
ture to tender his resignation al a member
of the Upper House Of Congress is re-
mored in Wilmington and the rumors
seem to have such solid foundation among
some Of those in close touch with the
inner circle. of the Republican Machine
in Delaware that even those who at first
considered them without foundation now
are placing belief in thera. It is said that
the only reason for delay in the matter is
that there is difficulty in deciding upon
a successor to Senator DUPONT: and those
who are acquainted with the conditions
say the probabilities are that a definite
announcement of tbe Senator's intention
doubtless viii be forthcoming at an early
dste. u has been said that T. Coleman
dnPont, cousin of the Senator and the
Republican national committeeman for
Delaware, was desirous of the Office, but
was being. strongly opposed, and that be
was responsible in the delay of Senator
dnPonts resignation. The Senator is
now abroad, but it was stated at his resi-
dence Tuesday night that he will return
within the next two weeks, and those
closest to him say the probabilities are
that the announcement will be made very
soon after be returns. Failing health is
said to be the cause the Senator will give
for his retirement from public life.

PRESENT DAY HOBBIES

We have just been thinking
about present day "hobbies" and
they create within US a longing
for the return of the good old
days of our forefathers; days
when at, eventide the family
gathered at the old place and en-
joyed the pleasures of home
How different now. Take the
average family today and the
servant girl is usually the only
one hJme after the evening meal
The father has gone to lodge, the
mother to her club, Jane to the
music circle, Kate to the card
party, Robert has gone down
town for a game of billiards,
Peter to the reading room. Verify

TRAINED IN USEFUL WAYS

We would be glad to see all
children grow to useful manhood
and womanhood, They should
be trained along the lines of in
dustry. In short the home ought
to be sort of school for manual
training, that through this useful
occupation the real bent of the
child's mind might be readily
perceived. Not all work, neither
all play, but enough of both to
make work and pleasure alike en-
joyable and refreshing. Thus
the child might be trained in use
full ways and obtain physical
vigor now almost impossible by
the usual strain put on the child
inclined to studious habits.

Washington dispatch says;
The II stamps will be issued in three
series of designs. In the first series mod
ern methods of transporting mail be illus

mand upon postal distributing facilities
