Innovation That Surely VIII
Please the Wemsn Of
Wilmington

There's always something new al
the Gas Ohicei You'll see II al the
spring opening tomorrow.
1t lust seems as If those men at
the Gas Office were always thinking
up a new stunt" 10 put before the
people. This time it's a Rest Room
for the women of Wilmington. IL
will be a sort of a down town home
for the wives, daughters, sisters and
sweethearts of Wilmington's male
population.
Yesterday an EVENING JOURNAL
representative was allowed to take a
peep. If any lady can't find comfort
there and a place that means rest in
every inch of the furnishings, then
that lady isIt familiar with the
words or else she isn't tired enough
to appreciate rest
Mr.. Husband, hereafter, If you're
wife is late for dinner. or fails to
meet you al the train, or forgets TO
20 to market, just charge 1t all up

Wilmington Gas Company She's
resting there in big comfortable
rocker or possibly writing a note TO
her sister, al the convenient writing
desk. Perhaps she's up there to use
the telephone that Is installed for
her own special convenience.
If vou could see that Rest Room,
you men Of Wilmington, you'd hardly
blame the women folks for making
use of H. Located on the second
floor, away from the noise Of the Of
fee and street, it is a real place OF
rest where any woman or girl may
feel free to go and use to her pleas

The Two
Partners
A Story of a Merited
Revenge
BY SARAH j. RATHBUN

Peter Morehead and John Springer
were partners in mine they were de-
veloping In one of the western gold
fields. Several other prospectors had
their eyes on Morehead and Springer's
hole in the ground. and their glances
were covetous. for it was strongly sus-
pected that there was wealth at the
bottom of the digging.
These other men were Henry Sey-
mour, Ben Lyle and Sam Miller. They
met one evening in Seymour's shanty,
and the topic of conversation fell upon
the Morehead-S Springer property. Diff
ferent plans were proposed by which
they might get possession of it, and
finally one was suggested by Seymour
that met with favor on the part of the
other two. The scheme was to put its
owners In such position that the prop
erty could be had for song.
A few days later Springer disap-
peared. Miller produced a knife on
which were human blood spots that he
said had been found near the More
head-Springer mine. The conspirators
went to Morehead's shanty and accus-
ed him Of numbering his partner. More
head Indignantly denied the charge, but
could give no cause for Springer's dis
appearance. Whereupon the three men
melted number of miners to join with
them and hang Morehead to the limb
of tree.
Under the leadership of the three CON
spirators an effort was made to force
Morehead to confess, medieval meth
DDS being employed for the purpose
They put rope around his neck,
threw the other end over the limb Of
tree and slowly raised him off his
feet. Twice under this strain he faint
ed before he yielded Then he agreed

SERVED IN A COLD PIE.
Sir Jeffrey Hudson's Introduction te
Queen Henrietta.

Sir Jeffrey Hudson's Introduction to
Queen Henrietta.
Perhaps the most remarkable dwarf
on record was Sir Jeffrey Hudson, the
little fellow whom Scott introduces in
"Peveril of the Peak" He was born
in Rutlandshire, England, in 1919.
When eight years of age he was pre-
scented by the Duke of Buckingham to
Queen Henrietta in cold pie. He aft
erward became attached to the court of
Charles /. At one of the court masks
the kings porter, man Of gigantic
size, who used to torment the little
dwarf, pulled from one pocket loaf of
bread and from the other jeffrey, much
to the surprise and amusement of the
company present. jeffrey was at this
time only eighteen inches in height.
He remained at this stature until he
was thirty years of age, after which a
curious exception to the laws of growth
took place, since jeffrey rapidly grew
to be three feet nine inches in height,
whereas most men do not grow quar-
ter of an inch after the age of thirty.
This dwarf had an enormous head and
very large hands and feet; otherwise
his proportions were symmetrical and
his face was considered handsome.

1t is the aim of the department of
agriculture under Republican manage
ment to help our farmers in all sec
lions of the country and to use all en-
deavors to help the tiller of the soil
toward greater efficiency and more
economic production. The congress
during the last fifteen years has in
creased ninefold the amount of money
invested in agricultural research and
demonstration to give the American
farmers help in their operations on
the farm, to feed our people well and
cheaply and enable them to compete
with the outside world. 1t has provid-
ed for over 1000 scientists, specialists
in their respective lines, who are In
touch with our farmers In all sections
of the country, gathering information
and preparing it for issue in depart

28,000.000 pieces were given out in
1911 to go into our country homes.

The education of specialists in APP
piled science to meet the demand for
research under the federal government
and under state Institutions has be-
come prominent feature of depart
mental work. Graduates Of our agri-
cultural and other colleges are drafted
into the department Of agriculture and
prepared for scientific research along
the lines demanded by the producers
of our country under all our varied
conditions. Within the last eleven

had postgraduate instruction in the
sciences of agriculture. The depart

New markets for our surplus pro
auction are being sought in foreign
countries, and scientific inquiry is be-
Ing made into the preparation of our
exports for foreign markets. Uncer-
tainty with regard to the magnitude of
our crops at home is being removed by
careful statistical inquiry, to the end
that more accurate knowledge with re-
gard TO production may mitigate the
evils of speculation. Inquiry is also
being made into the productions OF
competing countries, in order that the
American farmer may know what he

The White Shin.

The age of chivalry is supposed to
be that age when young men dressed
themselves up in armor and pounded
one another with lances and swords.
1t is perhaps well to recall the story
of the White Ship, which in the year
1120 carried to England the grandson
of the Norman conqueror. This ship
was captained by the son of the man
who had steered across the conqueror
himself. The ship sank. There was
only one lifeboat. The young prince
was put in that. to be rowed away.
His sister screamed. He put back to
save her also So many leaped into
the boat from the sinking ship that all
were drowned except one butcher
who chung to the mast. The passengers
on this ship were 40 picked and no

their future king.-Collier's Weekly.
