The Fable of the Young Woman
Who Learned of the
World of Work.
Copyright, 1912,' DeForest Porter)

Copyright. 1872 DeForest Porter.)
This fable is only for those who
read the newspapers, who know a
good thing when it bumps them in
the eye and who are geared up by
ambition.
Now you shall hear.
Once upon a time there was a
young woman who went out seeking
employment.
She did not really want to work,
but she wanted some pin money and
experience. Those Of US who hear a
lot about work for works sake should
not forget that while pin money and
experience may be all right, three
square meals a day are the MASTER
pieces which most Of US labor.
The Young Woman had ideas about
the World Of Work. She thought all
she had to do was to walk down
Main street and walk into a s25 a
week pay envelope with a pleasant
look and cheerful smile. She had
read that any young woman who was
ambitious and we'll dressed was well
come in large business Offices fur
nished by billion dollar trust COM
panies
So she started on her quest.
Busy" was the cordial and glad
welcome which was passed out to
her in response to her request TO see
the manager.
ffWbafio xyo,,r b,c4norc ,,oI,,,, 81
was the next greeting which was Of
the secretary waved his hand and said
"Nothin' doin' Miss. Sorry, but there's
no chance for you Just now"
Then her ideas about the World OF
Work began TO seem little hazy and
when the Young Woman arrived
home she decided that there were a
number of things about which she
did not know and that a Pleasant
Way and a Cheerful smile we're not
all that was necessary.
She was a wise Young Woman and
she made up her mind to learn how
TO get a position that was worth
while and not to depend too much
upon Illuminated notices and
preachments with hand Illuminated
lnltlalS.
She began to study the newspaper
and found therein a department she
had never before noticed It was
the Want Ad Department As she
looked through the columns she saw
where she had made a mistake.
Here were plenty Of opportunities for
position and she at once sat down
and answered some of them by let
ter and the next morning started out
to answer others in person. She had
no difficulty In reaching the mana
gers Office with the Want Ad of the
company in her hand. It was the
magic pass word to the World of
Work everywhere she went and from
that day the Young Woman depend
ed entirely on the Want Ads and
now she is no longer working for
pin money and experience, but for a
pay envelope, plus.
Moral-Don't imagine that you
know all there is about the World of
Work until you have read the Want
Ads.

A PAINFUL REMINDER.

II ESPECrABLE and Independent Democrats in Black
~ bird hundred have performed with admirable
celebrity the creditabe driving Jack Wright
into political retirement Now they should combine
with respectable and independent Democratic voters
in Approximately hundred make similar disposi-
ton of William A. Scott who succeeded in having
himself nominated for Levy Court Commissioner in the
Seventh district Of this county
In the true sense of the word Mr.. Scott is not a
Democratic candidate. He is simply painful reminder
that years ago he a member of a Levy Court that
became corrupt that Of its members were sent
to Jail and other of its members retirement
Mr.. Scott Of those who into retirement.
Now after those unpleasant Incidents he
from that retire and asks the voters to return
him 10 the Levy Court He enters the Democratic
primaries and succeeds in winning the nomination.
Now, a painful reminder of the old days OF Lynn and
White, he stands before the voters of Blackbird aud
Appoqunimink hundreds and asks for and poit-
ical and official rehabilitation at their hands We
think that is a situation which calls for the careful
consideration Of all the voters in the Seventh Levy
Court district matter whether they be Democrats,
Republicans Progressive Republicans, Prohbitionists,
Socialists Independents.
Our opinion is that this is a bad year for painful
reminders 10 go before the New Castle county electors
and for surprise is that Mr. Scott failed

citation of it by remaining in retirement few years
longer.

VOTE AT PRIMARY.

From the Newark Post
With all due recognition to the i'm
portance of the National and State
tickets. nothing so vitality concerns
the ordinary voter as his local repre-
sentatives that make up the countp
and hundred ticket Especially is this
true of the farming class. The
county Offices, such as the Levy Court
men effect directly and Immediately
the man on the farm. The handling
and expending the county and hun
dred finances are Of constant and vital
concern to him. AS was recently
said TO us by a wideawake farmer,
The Nomination OF my Levy Court
man is more concern to me than the
choice OF Governor or President"
The same can be said of the Repre-
sentative and Senator from your dis
trict. These men named by repre-
sentatives that make up the county
party will be your personal of the
Legislature. and II is to every voters
interest, to see 10 It that men are
named whom he can trust.
A great deal is said, and not with
out reason, that men are placed on
the ticket at the behest of some lead
er with some political interest at
stake But this condition whenever
It does exit, is only by the permission
of the rank and file Of the plain or
binary voters. BY neglecting to take
part and voice in making these selec-
tions. as provided for in our primaries.
we make easier the way Of machine
politics.
We often hear complaints of Sc
lections made, when those voicing
these complaints, had not taken ad-
vantage of casting their vote in op-

Councilman Zimmerman seldom loses opportunity
70 make a spectacle of himself His refusal TO sign
the report Of the Fire Committee Of City Council on
the inspection Of volunteer fire companies on the
ground that the Councilmen insuted by members
Of the Phoenix Fire Company is foolish as to be
worthy Of small sohoolboy The fact that Council
man Zimmerman is "a fireman makes him appear all
the more foolish. It speaks we'll for the other men,
bers of the committee that they refused to change the
report to meet zimmermans silly whim The Phoenix
Fire Company is Of the best volunteer organizations
we have. It is time for Zimmerman to awaken to the
fact Nothing he may say do can possibly hurt
Phoenix but there may come time when the mem
bers of Phoenix say and do things that will hurt

PROTEST FROM KENT.

THAT Democrats in Kent county have little use for
u the Democratic State ticket is shown by this
editorial which appears the Dover Index an uncom
promising Democratic newspaper:
I'VE do not consider ourselves any the less a Demo-
cratic newspaper nor any less loyal the principles
cf the party when say that the Democratic state
ticket named last Tuesday IS in many respects not the
best that could have been named, and its apportion-
ment among the counties Is far from satisfactory New
Castle and Sussex, by reason OF q deal made before
the meeting Of the convention each received three OF
the nominations and Kent county received one The
old saying among Democrats-New Castle always
wants all and Sussex county can never be relied on
was verified. Nor is It gratifying TO self respecting
Democrats to know that the hand Of Democratic Ross
shaped the affairs of the convention and forced the
nomination OF a candidate for Governor who was not
satisfactory 10 the majority Of the Democrats Of the
state"
We think that editorial will tell its own story to
all who read IT, The fact that the Index adds that it
will support the ticket which Il regards as being so
weak. makes the criticism all the more significant

ILLINOIS MAN CAST HIS
FIRST VOTE IN 184o.
Michael Markley Was For Van Buren,
and Recalls Stirring Events.

There are few men in the country
roll, ILL.,. who can boast that his blood
was first stirred in political discus
sion in the days when Andrew Jackson
was president and who cast his first
vote for Martin Van Buren, the Dem
ocratlc nominee against William Hen
ry Harrison In 1910. Mr.. Markley re-
Gently 'reminlsced" in the presence of
n visitor from Chicago.
Mr.. Markley has voted in eighteen
national elections. After 1910 he cast
his vote for James X. Polk against
Henry Clay and in 1852 for Franklin
Pierce against Winfield Scott. In 1856
he Joined the Republican party and
voted for Fremont.
"The year | voted for Van Buren, l
had lot of hot arguments" said Mr..
Markley. "They had professions for
'Tippecanoe' Harrison and fireworks
and shooting of cannon. We never
had rally without firing cannon. The
people were intensely partisan, and
never went to a rally without expect
ing fist fight. People got so angry
when they argued that they would
wind up in row, and somebody would
get hurt
'ln the early days man could work
thirty years on n farm and accumulate
only about $1,000 to 4000-money
was that scarce. But those sums went
a lot further than they do now. The
trouble with the country is that money
is too cheap. There are too many mil
lionalres. Everybody's got money"

SLEEP BY ELECTRICITY.
German Doctor Announces Successful
Experiments.


Electric sleep, to be turned on or Off
at will, is the alluring promise held out
to sufferers from sleeplessness by Dr.
Nagelschmidt, a German physician,
who describes his invention in the Ber-
liner Kllnische Wochenschrift.
SO far the electric sleep has been pro-
duced only in rabbits and dogs, but the
experiments on animals have been SO
free from evil effects that Dr. Nagel-
schmidt thinks that human beings can
be subjected TO the same treatment
without danger.
Sleep is produced by a new form OF
electric current devised by Dr. Nagel-
schmidt. When it is applied to the
base Of the brain, he says, a narcotic
effect is caused which can be main
tanned as long as is desired. The ami
mails on which the experiments were
made returned to consciousness and en-
tirely normal conditions within min
ute or two.
DR.. Nagelschmidt declares that the
new method also has the power Of elm
mating pain in any portion OF the hu-
man body. A condition is produced in
which even incisions OF the surgeons
knife are not felt as long as the patient
remains In the electrified state.

cording to a dispatch.
The dispatch from Houston to a
Chicago paper follows;
"A No. L. the king of hoboes, is
dead. Slipping from the rods of a
passenger train on the Louisville e.
Nashville Railroad, the man who
boasted that he had travelled more
miles and paid less fares than any
traveller of his generation, was
caught by the trucks of the heavy
coach and literally ground to death.
Chicago White, his companion of
the last year, brought the news to
Houston. Chicago and an old priest
had stood uncovered by the shallow
grave that held the fragments of
flesh and bone that could be found"
"A No. u was a puzzle, even to
the men with whom he had roamed
to all parts of the world. He told no
one his name, his birthplace or of his
family. He was merely "a No. / >"
the king of tramps. From Maine to
California his name is painted or
carved on box cars, watertanks, rail-
road sheds, in fact everywhere "A
No. l" could find space his name in
big letters and two arrows, pointing
in the direction the hobo king was
travelling at the time he "signed up"
Hundreds OF these signatures are to
be found along the Erie railroad.
