BET SEEMED GOOD ONE, BUT

Their Fellow Workman.

A certain workman in a Newark
factory seems to be constitutionally
opposed TO the institution commonly
known as a bath. 1t is this mans
custom to appear each morning
wearing the CRIME he carried as he
left the shop the previous night.
He appeared one day last week with
a touch of the yolk of an egg upon
his lip-a trife extrayagant, but new

Seeking to have little fun, a fell

"Hello, Jake; bet I can tell what
you had for breakfast this morning"
Words were banded back and
forth, and finally a wager was made,
the loser to set 'em up to good eli
gar or something of that sort. Then
came the climax:

LIQUOR FLOWS FREELY.

Despite the fact that the Hazel
law prohibiting the shipping of
liquor into the ''local option ter
ritory'' of the state is now in eff.
feet, the ''wets' in the lower part
OF the state are getting around the
provisions of the law, and 1t is es-
timated that forty gallons of liquor
were carried into Seaford last Sat-
urday,
The liquor is ordered sent to
points in Maryland, and from there
il is carried by automobiles to Sea
ford. Automobiles filled with
negroes went to fredericksburg and
other Maryland points Saturday
and returned with their "booze. I"
The "drys'' raised the point that
those who go into Maryland and
return with the liquor in this man
ner constitute a common carrier,
and the ACCESSIBILITY of making ar
rests is now being considered.
The Hazen bill allows one per-
son to take one gallon of liquor "a
day into dry" territory. =, North

ROW OVER DELAWARE :.
CITY ROAD PROJECT

A lively discussion was preclpl-
tated in Levy Court Wednesday
when Mr.. Smith presenteda Feso.
luton to instruct the highway |
commissioner to prepare plans for
building the half mile Of road lead
ing out Of Delaware City, which
before the recent session of Legis-
lature was within the corporate
limits of Delaware City, but which
under the provisions Of an act
passed by that body contrasting
the city limits, new comes under
the supervision OF Levy Court.
Mr.. Scott raised objection to the
resolution, stating that the resi-
dents of Delaware City should i'm
prove their streets before asking
the road to be built. ".They merely
contracted themselves to have
Levy Court build the road" he
said. ,'lf we have money enough
we should have other more i'm
portant roads built" He declared
that action upon such resolution
should not be taken until the court
knew what part of the 100000
bond issue they would have to
spend on the continuous road con-
Meeting the Pennsylvania line with
the Kent county line, and the sum
that remained should be divided
up among the other spads.
Every mem Der Of Levy Court
was invited to look at this road
last Thursday" said Mr.. Smith.
81 believe two or three inspected
it, but some others did not. Mr.,
Scott was there and saw how badly
the road is needed "
II went over it, replied Mr..
Scott, ''but | don't know whether
saw IL UT nOu.
This raised a general laugh,
) "rhe road isalmost impassible,"
!. declare Mr.. Smith, Something
a should be done and done at once.
IasN "a vote on the resolution right

"Just one more word" inter
q rupted Mr.. Scott. "There is not
+ worse road in the forests Of
Blackbird hundred than in the
city of Delaware City. Let them
build mp their roads first and the
1 county will meet them half way.
$ Let them repair their roads first
+ and not afterwards. There is more
$ mud in Delaware City than on hall
the other roads in the entire
Il county"
+ ~ agree with Mr.. Scott,u said
Mr.. Burris. ''We should consider
the cost of building other roads be
fore we go further, I move we de
fer action on the resolution unit
this afternoon.
"Have we any assurance tha
they won't contract again in two
years?" asked President Groves
.iocularly.
After a little discussion upol
n the building of the continuous
}, road, Mr.. Burris withdrew hi
u motion and Mr.. Smith asked tina
vote be taken upon the origina
ID resolution.

A private soldier who had TONIGHT
bravely during the Boer war had oc-
casion TO seek employment of well
known general. This private had had
the misfortune to lose his nose while
in action. The general was so tickled
with the appearance of the man that
he burst into loud laughter to the dis
comfture of the soldier. When his
laughter had subsidized the general said;
"Ay good fellow. where did you lose
your nose?"

private, sin the same battle that Won

Browning had maid in his service

pies funerals" And once, when he
was away on a holiday and Jour-
nalist came to the door to inquire lie
1t was true that the poet was dead, she
Indignantly answered. Il have NOT
heard so, and am sure my master Is
not the kind Of man to do such a
