A PRACTICAL JOKER

BY George Elmer Cobb.
''I'm sorry for you, Ned" observed
Cyrus Moore.
"Tm sorry for myself" responded
Ned Dayton, rather, grewsomely.
Look here. Cyrus, you're my best
chum and you are the cousin of the
girl love- You must know her faith
er and his ways pretty well. Is he
really the terrible tyrant they de-
scribe him?". s a..

ment of serious thought, '1'll beard
this desperate lion in his den, come
what may"
Ned was inspired with no ordinary
love for pretty, petted Leila Allen,
the alleged ogre's only daughter. He
had come down to Hopeton at the in
vitation of Cyrus Moore, his chum,
to meet his fate. 1t was decidedly up
to him now to advise stern, dignified
old Judge Allen that he wished to
enter his family as a son-in-law.
There could be no possible objec-
lions to this, except that Ned had
no business experience and was cred
ulous and innocent in the ways of
the world. If this latter had not been
true he would have discounted
Moore's lurid references to Leila's
father and have recalled Moore's rep
utation as a practical joker on all
occasions.
Ned had not as yet seen Judge Al
len except at a distance. Of verify
the judge was a rather severe and
ultra -dignifed' looking person. Ned
could show up pretty well, however,
as to family income and prospects, if
he was only given chance to present
his claims.

Cyrus, the sly tease. cts breaking

NEW YEARS DAY

The dawn is gray and chilly with the
roSt,
The old years pulse now flutters, now
is lost.
And all our twelvemonth's deeds, for
good or i'll,
Pass into shadow, silent, one by one,
While from the night wherein we
wander, lost,
The new year rises with the rising
Sun.
A new year? Nay; it's but the same
old year,
The same remorseless round of sun
and rain,
OF seasons in their order, JOY and
pain
The old emotions playing upon
strings
That wax little older, drawing near
The final end of all remembered
things.
Earth ages, and the very mountains
nod
With year, and we who craw upon
their breast
Pass at the sliding sands benign be-
hest
Hate fades, greed fails, just crum-
bles into clay,
And there are left but love and faith
and God,

day.

The idea is to deliver these fresh sup

William II. Saunders, mechanical en-

has been a leading spirit in organizing
this venture. He moved to Sussex coun-
ty and conducted a farm himself, going
al over the section and studying condi-
lions whenever opportunities offered.
Apples, celery, sweet potatoes, lettuce,
eggs, poultry, pork, products and butter
will be hauled through the winter, during
every favorable hauling day. 1t is point
ed out that, on packed snow, the hauling
can be done as regularly and as eXpedi-
tiously as on hard roads. But if slushy
and heavy roads should develop there will
have to be temporary suspension. Mean
time the promoters will agitate for good
roads, and under the new Delaware laws
hope to get at least one good highway
within the next five years.

Until I've won her everything that

Turned into darkest night.

And memories now alone

Well have surcease at last
From specters dark as night.
They'll live, but in the past.
I watched the old years flight
And then said, with a smile,
"Ah, now the new year bright
Will bide with us awhile!"
But ere my hopeful dreams
Have realized one day
Is dead and passed; it seems
1t starts but to decay.
Thus all along the way
Gravestones must mark the miles
An epitaph each day,
A tomb of tears and smiles.

To find it's aging too,
With the first setting sun.
But twill not always be,

And all things new, and we

The tombs where dead hopes lie,
No nights of sorrow dark

KELLY COMMENOS
WORK OF WILSON
Head of Earlham Talks on
the Attitude of President
Wilson.

"The first month of the present ma
tional administration has proved that
government by college men is q sue
cess" said President Kelly of Earl
ham college, this morning in the chap
ell exercises. mo president in recent
years has gained the approval of the
people of. this country in SO short a
time, and the five big men of the ad-
ministration, the president, vice presi-
dent, secretary of state, chief justice
and speaker of the house are all grad
yates Of colleges-in fact all are from
small colleges. In many ways the
government of a large university is
similar to the government of a coun-
try. President Wilson has applied
methods to the government of the
United States which he found service
able in Princeton, thus instead of vast
ing the whole first part of his term in
the appointing of office seekers he
turns them over to the various heads
of the departments as he would do in
a university. 1t is queer that no one
thought of that scheme before. When
President Wilson had anything to say
to his faculty at Princeton he called
them together and spoke to them, and
in giving his message directly to con-
gress he is only following the same
plan"
I'm any event our chief executive
would have been a college man, as
Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson are all
college men. Three7fourths of all OF
the presidents in recent years have
gone into colleges or universities to
teach law. The question of what to
do with our expresidentso Is a very
small one and easy to answer" said
Prof. Kelly.
