Wayfarer's Note Book
OLD PETE IS DEAD.

Mr.. and Mrs. J. Jackson Peirce, Of
No. Az Washington street, this city,
are mourning the death OF Pete, a
canary bird, II years old. He had
been in the possession of the famHy
sixteen years, and was especially fond
Of Mr.. Peircc, who is a member OF
the Public Utilities Commission.
The Wayfarer was informed yester-
day that when the death of Pete was
reported to Mr.. Peirce by his wife.
he got a small box, lined it with cot
ton, put the body OF the dead bird
in It. covered g. with layer of cotton
batting, closed and sealed the box
took it out in the yard and buried st
i'm a flower bed. The grave was
dug deep enough to make it free
from future disturbance, when spad-
ing is being done to prepare the
gorund for planting.
Pete had been blind I'm one eve for
several years. For months prior Ia
the birds death tho sight of the other
eye had been failing. Despite that
aftliction, and general debility Incl
dent to old age, Pete never lost his
power OF song
For years he hal been so tame that
when released in a room he would
alight on one OF Mr.. Peirce's fingers
and pitched battle could be precipi.
tated at once by Mr. Peirce by simply
working his finger and making a pre-
tense he did not like the idea OF a
bird using it for a perch.

From the Milford Chronicle.
The effort TO drag the boulevard,
which General DUPONT is building, into
politics has caused statements to be
made by those opposed to the new
road which are not borne out by
facts. The new owners OF the Morning
News are "Out Heroding Herod' in
its methods of creating opposition over
the State, against not only the road,
but the giver More politics is at the
bottom of this rather than the love of

A SORRY SPECTACLE.

From the Delaware State Medical
Journal
The people Of Delaware are making
a sorry spectacle Of themselves with
regard TO the DUPONT Boulevard IL
is admitted on all sides that this high
way would lrove a blessing TO the
State and that there appears to be
no other way Of getting il. But there
is a suspicion that Mr.. DUPONT VIII
possibly get some returns on his in
vestment, and there is the rub. 1t Is
true. that II he ever does desire any
returns it will be by way Of public
utilities which will in return increase
land values; It is also true that the
franchises which he is getting are
such as he could get without building
the boulevard; franchises of equal, If
not greater value have been given
away to corporations for less consid-
erations but-why be progressive and
enterprising, when the old way of
sticking in the mud is 50 comforting
to our conservative souls?
With the natural advantages OF
Delaware, it is wonder that greater
progress has not teen made. The
reason now is apparent: Opportunity
knocks at our door and we are afraid
to open lest it be a burglar. and OPP
porunity passes by. Get up, Maud!
