VALUE OF A HARD BEGINNING

There is story of a tender hearted
woman who, seeing within a cocoon the
struggle that the butterfly was making to
free itself, thought to help by breaking
the meshes and letting the silk winged
creature looss; but the butterfly, thus re-
leased. was too weak to lift itself, too
undevt lDped to care for ITSELF and died
refore Its rescuer's eyes 1t needed the
battle.
Beginnings ought to be hard; the
penple whose beginnings are made easy
lor them are the handicapped. Attain
ment, achievement, fufiment cannot be
made easy and beginnings should not
be. PatieLce, determination, thorough
mass come hard to those who have never
known hard beginnings. The bright
pupil who learns his lessons without spec
ial effort usually receives poorer Drepa-
ration for life than any other boy in the
class.
1t is not only the virtues essential to
success that are to be assucciated with
hard beginnings family affection fl Iurish-
es best when there is need of family effort
to get the younger members STARTED right.
That does hot mean freeing them from
burdens, but taking pains to adjust the
load properly upon their young shoulders
Family affection is likely to be impaired
when 10 turden has been imposed. To
be companions in hardship is to be COM
pauions always. There is a peculiar sac
redness about love that grows under diff
ficuties.
Many rich men are perplcxed by the
probleta how to keep their children from
growing up int fficient through being ac-
customed to easy conditions of life. Many
wives Of rich men are saddened because
they seem not so necessary to their child
rem not so intimate with them as those
mothers who, in the eyes OF the world are
less fortunately placed.

That Fine ''ResinOI Ointment

After using the" "Resno Shaving Stick, -
a superb articl. that po s9sses every one
of the qrrlties of first class shaving
soap became convinced from the agree
able aftermath of the soothed and pleas.
ant fet ling shat pervades the skin of the
face that it also possessed a qualification
no other shaving soap has, and that there
was a solid basis for the claim of the
makers, the R .sinol Co., of Baltimore,
that there is mixed with the soap the
same healing substances which compose
their celebrated ''Resinol Ointment"
which is prescribed by the doctors as a
treatment for many skin diseases, and
no : after also using their "Resinol Oint.
ment" itself, l an sure about the matter,
for have found in that ointment happy
combination Of something that instantly
soo.hes and heals skin diseases. 1t is i'll
deed a model Oin,ment, and don't at
sll marvel that it should have received
such a recognition at the hands of the
regula medical practitioners. | have used
other ointments makir g large claims, but
more has approached the Resinol in the
quick and lasting results produced. |,
therefore, gladl bear this testimony to
its valuable qualities as general oint-
ment. No Household should be without
it. 1t is sold by both the drug stores in

Typhoid Lnrks in Wells

The ru.a' sections, long considered
ids al so far as concerns the health ol
their inhabitants, ave been dealt a
blow by physician investigators who
maintain that two-:hirds of the cases OF
typhoid fever in the city owe their origin
to inssnitary conditions in the country
and to polluted water supplies.
Farms, which are generally remote from
towns, cities, or other areas of congested
population, would seem to be almost
ideally situated for obtaining pure aud
wholesome water, but in IT ity polluted
water is exceedingly common on them
AID lyhoid fever Ia'es are usually great
er in county districts than in cities. Ty-
phoid fever is now almost universally be-
lieved to be transmitted solely through
drink or food taken into the stomt CHI,
and is especially Liable to be communi-
Gated by poll lted waters obtained from
shallow vel, near spots " here the dis
charges of typhoid patients hav4 been
thrown upOn the ground and subs, quently
carried down through the soil and to the
wells and it is doubtless principally this
fact that accounts for the disease being so
common in farming regionN
Ona great many fnms the well Is locat-
ed at point that may be convenient to
the dwelling, without any regard for pos
sibiity of the pollution of the well water
through sewage from barn, cess pool or
through the circulation of water nnder-
ground. Information relating to the uH-
dergrouud movement of water is parti-
cnl4rly valuable and on this account the
United States Gel Pical Survey is dis
tributing a report on the sutject-Water
Supply Paper 255-Undergronnd Water

msnd for this publication has necessital-

THE STATE FAIR
The Facilities This Year Are More
Extensive Than Ever Before

With much better and more elaborate
facilities than ever before-which can be
seen by the casual observer at glance
the DeiaW are State Fair OF 1912, which
will open on september 10th and close on
the 9Th, is bound to reach the climax in
Delaware fairs. Stimulated by the i'm.
proved equipment. which was. accom-
plished only with large outlay of money
and having the knowledge that that OF il
self would prove especially attractive to
exhibitors, the Fair Association has gone
the limit in offering prizes for which the
exhibitors will complete. Il, il therefore
foregone conclusion that the entry lists
will be much larger than ever before, and
also that they will be more extensive a. nd
will cover a wider scope.
At an axpense of about $3O,OOO the
owners of Wawaset Park, where the fair
is held, besides purchasing the park dur
ing the year, have provided a fine new
steel and concrete grand stand, replacing
the one that was formerly there, and have
bought large tract OF land adjoining the
park, which has been added to 1t, all hay
ing been fenced in. The grand stand is
not OF ly a stand from which a survey can
be had Of the track and the field, but also
is building of itself, having large rooms
under the s'a ID proper, in which some
of the departments of the fair will be
comfortably housed, which was never
possible before. Other bull lings have
been erected and those that were allowed
to stand have been strengthened, some
having been materially remodeled.
1t is the aim of the fair association to
make the Delaware Fair rival of the one
at Mt. H lily, N. J., Trenton, N. j., Allen
town, Pc, aud some other places, and
that is why so much money is being spent
on the permanent Equipment. All of the
necessary preliminary arrangements for
this years fair have been made and
everything is in excellent shape. Every
feature a. been worked ont through a
system which Will make each detail COM
plete in itself. For instance, the amuse-
ment feature, which calls for technical
work and professional knowledge and skifl
has been turned over to William L. Dock
stader, whose ability as proprietor and
manager of the Garrick Theatre is known
far and wide, while each DEP artment has
been placed in the hands of one or more
experts in II at particular line of work,
and there will be no difficulty in placing
if it becomes necessary to
seek technical information.
Another feature which has been made
a study by the fair management is that of
protecting the exhibitors and the visitors.
Any fair is sure to prove attractive to the
crook, but il it is possible to eliminate
him this time that Will be done. P, lice |
arrangements have been made that will !
not be discussed fully at this time for
obvious reasons, but it is enough to say
that the crook " no puts in an appearance
at that fair WiIl take lOrg chance and if
lie gets there and gets away he will be |
entitled to medal for his shreWdness.

HE DIED A-CLIMBING

On Alpine heights there lived a youth of
lOwly birth;
A faithful guide was he to loftiest peaks
OF earth;
Through drifting SHOWS and narrow gorge
and deep crevasse;
O'er glaciers icy crags and tortuous
mountain pass
A strangers life to save dire dangers glad
ly braved,
And on marble slab his peasant friends
engraved;
He died a-clmbing.
Titanic's qnivering decks are washed
with Arctic waves;
And bravest human souls are doomed to
icy graves.
On board ill-fated ship a noble Captain
ruled;
A man of matchless worth in awful hard
ship schooled.
His life refused to save while one unsaved
remained.
To oceans depths he sank-his name he
left unstained.
He died a-climbing.
Across the midnight seas a wireless mes
sage sent.
To seek passing ship on wings of mercy
bent.
Foil we'll he knew with sinking ship
must perish all;
And at his post remained and flashed his
pleading call.
But when his chief the order gave him
self to save,
To save fainting ma;den's life his own
he gave.
He died a-climbing.
While trembling in the throes of threat
ming wreck,
Full thirty pae-iaced boys were marched
upon the deck.
Heroic. brave, these loyal pages stood
and heard,
They sailors were and must with sailors
take their chance,
And to their posts returned, and not
backward glance.
They died a-climbing.
Unknown, unseen, band of noble spirits |
worked;
Besooted stokers they, whose duty never
shirked. =
Their fires they kept aglow that courage
might inspire;
And faltered not though floods engulfed |
their seethingfre;
Yet they to duty stood when every hope
had fled.
On Arctic's frozen brow may this be ever
read:
They died a-climbing.
