Tie One Who Don't Forget.

We are as a picture | have
seen. A woman is stepping into
an arena alone. The galleries
about are clouded with faces. She
is a Christian martyr; she is go
ing forth to meet the tigers, hun
gty and angry, She is feeling
heI way along the side of the
coliseum. Beside her, and near
her, the tiger crouches ready for
the spring suddenly a rose falls
at her feet, thrown from the gal
Iery by some unknown hand.
She seems to have forgotten
whittier her feet are leading her,
and with one hand outstretched
against a column, and with the
other hand, shading here eyes,
she is seeking eagerly through
all the crowd for the one who has
not forgotten.
| often have wondered if she
ever found the face Of the one
who threw the rose Of memory,
and if in her dying agonies she
looked upon the fond face of the
one who ever afterwards held her
in loving remembrance.
Even in common life our work
is sweaty, and sometimes bloody,
and the uger of the world is be-
ind us, and near, and ready
to spring, and a kind word, a
Helpful hand, the love of a
friend, the devotion of a child,
is like a red rose at our feet;
and it is there sometimes when we
don't see it and its petals are
stained crimson by the blood of
those who love us better than
life, and perchance it would be
"ell for lis to stop. and lean and
look, and discover the roses that
ere falling there before our feet
+ ON the hama Of a Heavenly
Father, who is for us whether we
are good or bad and who holds
US in everlasting remembrance,
and all that is of any conse-
Quence to us whether we succeed
or fail.-Missouri Farmer.

posed to the seekers after these luxuries
at this season of the year. This is not
an unusual thing to happen along the
Delaware Bay shore, and every winter
the people who reside within few miles
Of the beach gather bounteous supplies
after each storm from the westward.
This is not the only advantage of resid-
ing at the shore all winter, for the ducks
and geese flying over the marshes fall
victims to the gunner, and they sure do
make some fine. table supplies.

a public meeting has been call

in the Grange Hall in the town o
Milford, on Wednesday, January
18th, next p. m, for the purpose
of having the existing difference:
beteen the Gamers and the growers
Of tomatoes adjusted satisfactory to
all interested, if that be possible.
Owners of farms where tomatoes
are grown, renters who grow toma-
toes, and the owners and operators
of the canning establishments, are
invited in the call for this meeting.
TO be present and take part in the
discussions, and set their side ofthe
case forth in the attitude in which
It affects them and from their stand
points.
This is the proper spirit for those
interested to meet the question
which has vexed the business for
years, and it is not to be expected
that the situation will be adjusted
so as to meet each and every situa-
ton, but it can be so arranged,
that the agreement finally reached
will be for the greatest good to the
greatest number. This meeting
viii probably be largely attended
by growers and Gamers from other
and nearby districts where tomato
growing and canning is one OF
the greatest factors in the farming
industries of Delaware.
1t is certain that the grower will
have no market on large scale for
Ghe product Of his tomato fields, |
unless the Gamer is the consumer
and, it is equally certain, that the
Gamer would be out Of business
entirely along thee lines, if the
growers do not grow the tomatoes
for them to pack. For this reason
both are interested and a salts
factory adjustment of the problem
should be reached, and that now,
