! A man who was very misery hoard
ed up his stacks Of hay year after year
In the hope of making double the price
he was offered for them. A well known
hay and straw buyer in the district
one day asked the price Of a stack.
An enormous price was asked. which
the buyer accepted.
"How about the terms Of settle
ment?' asked the old miser.
"Well. you see," said the buyer, my
terms are to settle when I fetch the
last load away"
That's a bargain" said the miser,
slapping the others hand. The old
chap watched every load 30 away ex.

Through the first went a mastiff and
made for the ass, seized him by the
throat, pulled him down, and that sc

Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln must

man as Teddy Roosevelt when
he uttered the following
words in a speech at Spring

the words fit Teddy perfectly:

distinction; and, if possible,
it will have it. Is it unrea-
sonable, then, to expect that
some men, possessed of the
loftiest genius, coupled with
ambition sufficient to push to
the utmost stretch, will at
some time spring up among
us? And when such a one
does, it will require the PEG,

ment and laws, and generally
intelligent, to successfully

paramount object, and al
though he would as willingly
acquire it by doing good as
harm, yet nothing left in the
way of building up he would
sit down boldly to the task Of

FORMER sMYRNIAN RETURNS
James 3. Walls Makes First Visit to
Smyrna in 48 Years-Once Worked
in "The Times Office"

Mr.. James B. Walls ACCOMPANIED
by his wife came to Snvrna Monday
for the day, the first visit he has
made 70 his boyhood home in 48 wears.
Born and raised in Smyrna. he left
here in early life and though settled
IN Philadelphia, never took the time
to visit his native heath until Monday.
Smyrna had so Outgrown his recollec-
ton in this time that he scarcely knew
familiar spot. Instead of grass COW
cred or mudhole streets, he was amazed
to find paved and the macadem streets
and the "Old town" so modern in it's
improvements. Few faces were fam
liar to him and those he did know. it
was treat to talk over bygone davs.
Lake Como and other old land marks
were eagerly sought. Mr.. Walls
made call at the Times office and
related with interest his boyhood as
sociation with the Times office under
the late R. D. Hoffecker, Sr., when
the publication was printed in Tenn
erance Hall, now the site of the Pres
byterian Manse. Mr.. Walls remem-
bers as "devil' operating the ink roll
Ter on the old Washington hand press
in the days when the Times was
young. He did not follow the prin-
ters trade but apprenticed himself with
the big brick works of Alvan Allen. a
thriving Smyrna industry in its day.
He has followed the trade ever since.
During the war he was one of the first
Smyrna boys to enlist and served in
the First Delaware, throughout that
great civil strife and never received a
scratch. He is still hale and hearty and
the few who renewed their acquaint-
ance with him hope he will visit
Smyrna again. His wife is Pennsyl-
vania woman and she enjoyed the day
spent in Smyrna quite as well as he.

VALUABLE DOGS STOLEN
twenty of the Finest Dogs of Milford
Taken Away in A Night

After offering big prices for valua-
BILE dogs, which were refused an un-
known Jerseyman, who had come
across to Delaware in a small sailing
sloop, made a heavy haul Saturday
night and escaped in his boat with
about twenty of the finest dogs
around Milford. The man, whose
name is not known, came up the
river trying to buy hunting dogs and
succeeded in buying a few. The
finest dogs, however, were not for
sale, and although he offered John
Warren, of Jones Neck, $50 for a
prize dog, he could not buy it.
Saturday night the man did his work
and on Sunday, when local sportsmen
went to thier kennels, their finest
dogs were gone. Mr.. Warren was
hit the hardest, a beagle hound for
which he had refused SIS, being
among those missing. Word has
been sent to the New Jersey authori-
ties, but there is slight hope of the
dogs being found.
