STORY ABOUT A GIRL WHO WILL MARRY FOR

from present impossible conditions.
l did not listen very attentively
1t seems a.httle foolish to make the
evening and the time on Sunday. WI
hour every day you give your emplo
for the entire day, so that you are
service you let him have.
And it only depends on how ma
to whether you give him seven, eight,
nine, ten or twelve hours for nothing.
But l wasn't thinking of that as
/ listened to the girl
Ask your mother to tell you about
the girls who married when she, was
young. Ask her to. describe. their
healthy color, their vitality, their JOY
in living.
And then let me give you picture
of the girl who marries in three
weeks as release.
Her face was gray white; her eyes
were heavy, and the lids dropped. She
had handkerchief in her hand that
she twisted into knots and then un-
twisted, just as 1 played with my
watch chain, tangling and I'M
tangling it..
When she walked across the floor
her feet dragged languidly, her
shoulders dropped slightly. Her
blood was impoverished. She told
me she had nervous indigestion.
And that is the girl who, in mar
rying, pledges herself to become one
of the mothers of the race.
And the mamie, too, works in "a
department store, but he makes
eighteen dollars a week. And he is
thirty-two.
Eighteen dollars represents the
pinnacle of success to both of them.
Yet Jimmy Simpson, who started
as cash boy-so it is said-today
is millionaire society leader.

PRESIDENT WANTS
PLACE FOR COCKTAILS
BY The United Press.

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2-Presidens
Taft today began a personal inquiry
TO ascertain the truth of the report
that a possible nomination OF Colonel
George w GOethals, to be governor Of
the Panama Canal Zone would be
treated by Senate Democrats as a no
litical" nomination and held up iu-
definitely. The President wants Goe-
thals to be honored as being named
the first governor Of the section which
he saw built, as chief engineer OF the
canal, and he is greatly angered at re-
ports that certain senators are in
clined to regard this appointment as
a political one. TAFT believes that II
he should nominate the engineer and
the Senate withholds confirmation, the
slight would be indefensible humilia-
tion OF a noted engineer to whom the
nation owes much for mis- work on lhe
canal.
IL was said today that the President
would not nominate Goethals unless
assured that his name would &c
through. Meanwhile, he is endeavoring
10 ascertain how Democratic senators
regard the nomination

BY The EAR ROUTE

and County Physician II. w. Briggs
last night held an autopsy on the
body of Anthony Richardo, who was
shot 10y his father-in-law, Anthony
Creste, at the latter's home in Mt.
Cuba aud died at the Delaware Hos
pital The autopsy disclosed that the

peculiar manner.

of the left ear The bullet had pene-
tratod the brain and lodged in a small
bone.
No time has yet been fixed by Cor
oner Chandler for the inquest but

DR.. TEERNEY TEEERRNlVEEYY
EULOCIzES DEAD
PRIEST In SERMON

The Rev. John Tierney, monsisnor,
of Mt. st. Marys College, Emmetts-
burg. Md, paid a glowing tribute to
the life work of the Rev e. L..
Brady in his funeral oration over the
body Of the dead priest as it rested
in St Peters Cathedral this morning.
Dr. Tierney dwelt on the certainty
and uncertainty of death saying the
latter was but one step away
Dear good Father Brady, God
rest his soul We are not to pray
against a sudden death but against
an unprovided one DR.. Tierney
said
"He had but one step to make but
he was not unproyided. His great
work was done. God has taken him
from US after thirty-four years faith
ful work in this diocese. His life
was characterized by piety. He was
ever attached to the Blessed Sacra-
ment and the Holy Sacrifice of the
mass. If ever there lived one real
Saggarth Aroon then that one was
the dear. good Father Brady"
Here Or. Tierney reviewed the life
of Father Brady IN the different
charges
Father Brady rejoiced with his
people and in all truth for kindness
he was ever a gentleman He never
uttered a word of reproach against
any one and his work was all for
Christ He loved the little ones, the
afflicted and disconsolate and his gen
erOsity was unbounded.
His last day on earth was spent
in the work of the Lord First be
celebrated holy mass for the orphans
and then sang high mass for the con
gregation and later taught catechism
class and then distributed gifts to tho
children, and later blessed his con.
gregation during Benediction of tho
/ Blessed Sacrament But his work
was not yet done for two young mer
called on him and We're instructed
in their religion.
In closing his eulogy DR. Tierne,
said: Goodbye. dear. good, noble
Father Brady, and may your SOU
rest in peace, Amen"

Command on Captain Mar
ghetto May Mean Fresh
European War
HAD HELD POSITION
WITH DUPONT COMPANY

Captain Danilo Marghetic, of the
Austrian Army, who has been resi-
dent OF Wilmington for several years,
and has a responsible position with
the DUPONT Powder Company, has re-
ceived a command to report TO his
Emperor as soon as possible for mill
tary service.
This is regarded by his friends,
who have heard of his call to the
colors OF his native country, as an
indication that the war between Bull
garia, Greece, Servia and Montenegro
against Turkey is far from ended and
that the peace negotiations now IN
progress IN London may fall. with the
possibility that Austria and other
countries may be embroiled in hostili-
ties that may eventually involve the
great powers.
Austria, so far, has not taken a
part I'm the hostilities but that country
is insisting upon certain concessions
of territory. or at least the right to
occupy certain territory as one of the
terms Of the proposed peace pact.
Captain Marghetic is now shaping
his affairs so that he can leave for
Austria on January 10. His many
friends in Wilmington, who have
heard of the imperial command for
him to report for duty are sorry that
| he is to leave Wilmington Captain
Marghetic served in the Austrian
army as a captain, and after the pre-
scribed period he applied Tor a leave
Of absence, which was granted on con-
dition that he hold himself in readi-
ness to return to his country's SER
vice whenever commanded to do SO
The command he received is an i'm
posing document emblazoned with
the imperial seal.
Captain Marghetic has been a resi-.
dent of Wilmington about FIVE years
and is an expert auditor as well az
an accomplished linguist. He is tai
and of striking appearance, suggest
ing his military training. As sooi
as he received the command to return
to Austria to assume military duties
