BORROWING OFTEN CAUSES TROUBLE

A woman who was too economical to
subscribe for her home paper sent her
little son to borrow the copy taken by
her neighbor. In his haste the boy ran
over a four dollar stand of bees, and in
ten minutes looked like a warty sum-
mer squash. His cries reached his father.
who ran to his assistance, and, failing
to notice a barbed wire fence, ran into
it. breaking it down, cutting a handful
OF flesh from his anatomy and running a
five dollar pair of pants. The old COW took
advantage of the gap in the fence and
got into the cornfield and killed herself
eating corn. Hearing the racket the
mother ran, upset four gallon churn
of rich cream into basket of kittens,
drowning the whole litter. In her hurry
she dropped and broke, past all hope Of
mending, a twenty-five dollar set Of false
teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled
through the spilled cream and into the
parlor, running a twenty dollar carpet.
During the excitement the eldest daugh
ter ran away with the hired man. the
dog broke up eleven setting hens, and
the calves got out and chewed the tails
off four fine shirts. And all to save
one dollar.

GROWING SWEET POTATOES.

In the vicinity of Greenwood the sweet
potato crop is unusually good this sea-
son, and the average yield is about four
hundred baskets per acre. Some have
reported remarkable results. Henry
Dixon had eleven potatoes which filled
a truck basket Mr.. Travis reports a
yield of eighty baskets from eight hun
dred sprouts set in hills. The storage
houses are all filled to their full capacity,
and this coming winter, this section will
furnish some of the very finest sweet
potatoes which go to the markets in Bal
timore and other cities. Only a few
years ago the land which now produces
sweet potatoes best, was considered al
most worthless, but now it is the most
profitable land in Delaware. and the
prices have advanced until now the sales
frequently disclose values of 500 per
acre. The writer is well advanced in
years, but two years ago l sold from
one acre of land, one hundred and sixty
eight dollars and seventy-eight cents
worth of potatoes. OF course the ex-
pense account for phosphate and labor
and for packages, had to be paid from
this. We doubt if the much praise
western land pay so much per acre.
There is not another state which can
beat little Delaware. There is no land
in Delaware which when rightly handled,
will fail to pay good money, if planted to
such crops as the different soils are adopt
ed to. The future outlook for farming is
unusually bright. When the growing of
sweet potatoes on a large scale started
in Delaware, there was little chance for
markets other than the nearby cities,
and no storage houses as we have them
today. Then prime sweets sold from
ten to twelve cents per basket, and those
who had places to store potatoes took
their pay in potatoes. Now there are
hundreds of storage houses constructed
after scientific ventilating plans on the
farms all over the two lower counties
where sweets are grown, and the market
is bounded by Canada, New England and
the far West. A. A. DAVIS.

OLD BROAD CREEK CHURCH.
Il Is In Ruins Now, Vet Washington
Once Wershiped There.

Within eight miles from the national
capitol at Washington is an old church
which was built in 1854. Its parish
was founded even before that. Very
few people have ever heard of this old
church, for the simple reason that for
the past fifty years the place has been
falling to rack and ruin.
1t is famous church. and in the
early days it was a well known parish.
for it was the first that was founded
near the city Of Washington. OF late
years the old families have all moved
away. and their children have had in
terests elsewhere. They have all for
gotten the little old church where their
ancestors wOrshiped.
Il was this church Of st. Johns that
George Washington attended on his
frequent visits to its side OF the river.
A few years back those old parishiOn-
ers who could remember their fathers

non to service there. put on Washing
TONS pew in the old church a silver
plate as a memorial to him.
The old graveyard is Overgrown with
honeysuckle, but beneath the masses
Of vine there are many famous old
Maryland people buried.
The church itself is curious old
structure. 1t is nearly square and the
bricks. which are of exceptional size,
We're imported from England. The
hardware was also imported.
There is no chancel at all in the
church. There is a place where the
altar should be that is set apart from
the church by "A small rail. At one
time there was great high pulpit but
this was taken out by some rector who
thought that it was unnecessary

EXPENSIVE DINING.

Devil Worshipers.

That curious people. the Yezidis Of
Turkey. live sometimes in huts, but
more commonly in black tents like
those of the Arabs Of the plains. Of
all the peculiar peoples Of Turkey they
are the most peculiar or the least un-
derstood. It is said that they worship
the devil instead of God. They re-
spect Satan as deity whose power
for good or evil is very great. and
therefore they will never mention his
