miliarly known to a host of friends
back at his home in the east. and he
Topped into an easy chair and stared
as his visitor obsequiously bowed him

It took quick-witted Bob only a brief
thinking spell to understand that Rob

ruminated, "and I've arrived first.
Wonder where the other Bob is at the
other end OF the line? Why not!"
What Bob asked himself was, II he
(. dared to carry out the assumption
!, thrust upon him. He had Just gone
through an experience where frolic
and danger were daily concomitants
Of ! rude frontier life. He had been
out with a surveying crew. stalking OF
the great Tanipah Valley. The gov
eminent had encouraged an irrigation
project, and land in the valley had
gone up on a boom.
There was not foot Of land in the
Tanipah district Bob had not gone
over. In fact, struck with the future
possibilities in view, he had got the
owner OF q ten thousand acre tract,
the choicest property in the section.

his holdings. The engineering COM
pany had .defaulted on payment. Bob
had thus far arrived at the outposts
Of civilization, on his way to collect
from the company at Denver. to find
himself stranded.

Of the scrape."
Adventurous Bob found two suits

thought he had never seen SO lovely

tiancee, OF the other Robert Stewart.

Of money, too. suppose. Well, he
: can't grudge me good bed and some
nesmeals. I'll play the game to the

One hour later Bob sat at a ban
quet table, surrounded, as his compan-
ions to make him believe, by "the
leading citizens of the town. Bob
had donned one Of the suits at the no.

him. He was whirled away in an au-

COURT AGAIN SUSTAINS
The HAZEL LIQUOR LAW

BENJAMIN F. Van Wrinkle, one of the
tbree agents of the Adams Express
Company indicted at Dover for violation
If the Hazel Law. which forbids ship
ning and delivering intoxicating liquor
lnto Delaware's dry" territory. was
found guilty on Monday last.
The verdict was directed by the court,
Chief Justice Pennewill delivering the
charge. The court held that the case
against Van Wrinkle and the other agents
did not differ from the case of Grier, re
Gently decided in Sussex County. where
the defendant was found guilty. The
Jury returned the verdict without leav-
ing the courtroom.
Van Winkle Immediately after the
verdict was fined 500 and costs, amount
ing to sl1O. Attorney Hastings of Viii
mington. representing the agents, i'm
medately took an appeal and Van Wlnkle
was released on bond.
The case, brought into court Monday
bv. counsel for the express company as
a case stated, was bitterly fought on
account of its important bearing on the
Hazel antishipping and delivering law,
passed by the last Legislature to shield
the counties of Kent and Sussex, the
States dry" territory, from wholesale
shipments of liquor.
IN addition to Van Winkle, those in
d,cted are Harry Tee and Richard NJ.
Hsrgrove. Attorneys for the express
company admitted the facts of the case
were similar to those in the Grier case,
but held that it was up to the State to
prove that the liquor the agents deliv-
cred was intended to be sold or used in
violation of the county liquor laws.
In ordering verdict Of guilty Justice
Pennewill upheld the constitutionality
Of the Hazel Act, and that with the
Webb-Kenyon Federal Law was appli-
cable in the present case.

At the session of Milford Grange held
last Saturday Julius Breem talked on
Feeding Gh;ckers for Eggs in Winter.
He laid stress on the points of getting
the best and most vigorous breeding
stock possible, and upon having the
chicks hatchtd in March. He advised
the moderate use of heat in caring for
the comfort or the young chicks, and
that nothing be fed but wheat bran for
the first three days after commencing
feeding. but after that time give boiled
eggs and rolled oats and beginning care
fully this feed. After seven days COM
mence to feed beef scrap with bran.
ground oats and alfalfa. Separate cock
Tels from the pullets at about six weeks
old. and at this age feed grain at night,
such as cracked corn, wheat and add
oats as soon as the chicks will eat them
well. Feed all the green food they will
eat. and these rations with proper care
should bring them to maturity so as to
have them begin laying when they are
five months old. There was much discus
sion of methods following the address.
This Saturday, November 18th, the
discussion will be on How l Grew My
Crop Of Sweet Potatoes, by Solomon
Neal. All Grangers are invited to be
present, and all farmers are invited to
become grangers.

A nice YOUNG DUCK FOR DINNER.

IN passing the home of a farmer friend
recently a large flock of fine looking
ducks crossed 10 front of US, and in the
lot were Moscoyy and Indian Runners
waddling along in comfort and happiness
of well fatted bodies. The conversation
turned to the duck question at once, and
the qustatory pleasures of the table
when a duck is the subject for consider
ation The result nas neen that there
are tables in Milford which viii furnish
the evidence that a well grown, well
fatted. well prepared and well served
duck of either the Indian Runner or
Muscovy duck, is delicacy that can only
be enjoyed at its very highest state Of
bestness in the lower counties of Della
ware. The turkey is very king IN
the poultry kingdom, but for that rea-
son a thanksgiving dinner with turkey
as the piece-de-renasance, is expensive
while the we'll grown duck served with
the concomitants of home made Jelly and
luscious vegetables, appeals to the small
family provider, and it serves to make
a happy and contented home.

TOWN OF MILFORD REFUSED TO SIGN.

A question as to signing an agreement
between the Town Council of Milford
and the P, B. & w. Railroad, which in
volved the future responsibility for a
sewer under that road under Causey
Avenue and Lake View Avenue, was
discussed at the meeting of Town Coun-
ell last Monday night between that body
and Frank Jones, Esq, of Georgetown,
who represented the railroad company
interests. The attorney for Milford,
who is Henry Ridgely, Esq, had previ-
ously advised Town Council, that there
was no legal necessity for the signing OF
the agreement by Town Council. and on
fbis basis the vote was unanimously
against the signing. The impression
prevailed that the clause defining the
duties of Town Council, and the powers
conceded to the company, were drastic
and might result in future annoyance
for the town.

CARRYING ABUSINESS.

There has developed in Milford bust
ness which is another means of evading
the Hazel Law. 1t is plain case, and
one which the parties engaged in 1t VIII
find that they are equally guilty as AID
ing and abetting in committing crime.
"A bunch of men club together and FUR
nish another man with money to pur-
chase a gallon of liquor, Tor more If the
suitcase will hold it, and also pay his
fare to and from Wilmington with per
dem for himself, to bring to them
whiskey. From two or three trips are
made weekly in one case reported to the
authorities this week, and there IS an
other method of bringing the liquor IN
an automobile from the Maryland line,
which runs daily trips, if the business
warrants them. In this case the man
who owns the automobile generally car
ries sufficient number of men to cover
the quantity of liquor brought in, should
be be investigated. This is plain eva
sion of the Hazel laws, and will get
these men in trouble.

WOMAN PARDONED Eight
YEARS OF IMPRISONMENT

The State Board of Pardons for Della
ware has recommended to the Governor
that a pardon be given to Annie E.
Tilghman, of near Frederick who has
served eight years for killing her hus-
band, of which she was convicted by
the courts of Kent County, in April
1906. In November of 1905 James
Tilghman was killed by gun shot
wound, and his wife was convicted of
murder in the second degree and SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for life
Her counsel, Caleb E. Burchenal of
Wilmington, in presenting her case to
the board did so on the grounds Not
guilty of the offense death of Thigh
man accidental no malice on the part
of the defendant and further imprison-
ment would impair her health.
Recommendation for a pardon was
made by the entire jury which sat IN
the case also letters from the former
prosecuting attorney, Daniel o. Hast
ing. Warden Crawford and DR.. Rum
ford Of the New Castle County Work
house. Counsel showed that certain
evidence which might have Injured to
the benefit of the cOlOred girl was not
produced at the trial, and futher that
the verdict returned by the jury was a
surprise to both the court and the
prosecuting attorney.
The board unanimously recommended
the pardon, on the grounds above
stated. believing from the evidence
that there were doubts as to her guilt,
and also from the fact that the case
was unopposed by the state.

WANTS WHIPPING POST ABOLISHED.

Bareback whipping of six Delaware
convicts at Greenbank on November 9Th
brought a resolution from Representa-
tive Evans of Montana on Tuesday pro-
posing that Attorney-General Mercy
nolds bring injunction proceedings
against the State of Delaware to enforce
the constitutional prohibition against
"cruel and inhuman punishments. Rep
resentative Evans expected his resolu-
ton to save the same convicts from be
ing whipped again next Saturday and TO
prevent such punishments elsewhere.
Republican Leader Mann expressed the
opinion that the question was too impor
tant to be decided by quorumless House
ard blocked the resolution by an ad-
iournment. The two conYicts who on
Saturday last received 20 lashes at the
workhouse whipping post and who on
Saturday will receive 20 more are james
Bvard and William Reason, negroes.
They had been convicted of burgiari-
ously entering the house of a farmer
and upon being observed and identified
bv a boy, savagely assulting the Lad
with a brick, injuring him seriously.
The division of sentence of 40 lashes IN.
to two instalments is of recent practice
in this State. Formerly sentences Of Il
lashes and even of so lashes. the limit
of the law in respect of whipping, were
given at one infiictlOn.
