Che english Sparrow

1t makes me rather weary
To hear good people tell
Of dogs and cats and horses
That in the city dwell,
And how they have to suffer
For lack of food and care,
With sometimes cruel treatment
That they can scarcely bear.
OF course these same good people :.
Have tender hearts, and they
No doubt should be assisted
Upon their kindly way
And yet while they are caring
So very tenderly
For dogs and cats and horses
Nobody cares for me.
And am so much smaller
Than any dog or cat
Or horse it seems they oughtn
To treat me quite like that
But don't ask attention,
And can tell you what,
Those dogs and cats and horses
Should have the spunk I've got.
You never hear me crying
For shelter, food or care,
But get out and hustle
To find them everywhere.
I'm always fat and sassy,
And if do not get
My share of things in plenty
fight for it, you bet.
That's me, the English sparrow,
And though some people think
Pm something of nuisance
I'm never on the blink
That's why, when | consider
That am not admired
Like dogs and cats and horses
1t makes me almost tired

France Bidding for Tourists.

From the London Times.
Three thousand delegates from pro-
vincial towns met recently undor the
presidency of the minister of pub
lie works. NJ. Thierry, to discuss
means of encouraging the tourist
traffic in France. These etats- gen.
erauX du tourisme, as they have
been designated by the Matin, to
which their organization is due, are
one of the outcomes of the move
ment for the development of the
provinces. which in it's turn is one
of the forms which the French ma
tional revival has taken. 1t is felt
that Paris had too long stood for
France in the eyes of many foreign
visitors. and that it is time that the
provincial towns took their proper
place. 1t was partly with this idea
that NJ. Poincare made his recent
motor tour in the Limousin and Peri
CORD. His references during his
progress TO the unrivaled beauty of
the country districts of France were
received with the greatest enthusi-
asm. and it was realized that not
only did foreigners not appreciate
France as they should, but that even
Frenchmen did not know their own
country.
The congress will discuss the steps
to be taken to improve the standard
of country hotels and to recognize
the means of railway and motor
car communication. A tax on mo-
torists is proposed. the proceeds OF
which would be devoted to the mp
keep and the improvement OF roads,
and campaign is . be
undertaken to educate hotel
keepers In the requirements -
modern tourists. The fact that in
Paris and on the Riviera. the only
parts of France at present largely
visited by strangers, the hotels are
mainly In the hands of foreigners is
proof that such education is needed.
It is felt that. il only comfortable ac-
commodation can be found in the
country towns and adequate railway
services organized to enable tourists
to reach them. French scenery and
French cuisine will be bound to at
tract the tourist in large numbers.
Hotel hygiene, and especially the
hvgienie bedroom" without dust
catching curtains or carpets, will oc-
cupy q good share of the attention
of the delegates.

OPINIONS AND VIEWS FROM
THE EXCHANGES

cidental poisoning by the use of BIZ
chloride of mercury were very rare.
Recently there has been a constant
succession of them. Every few days
the papers mention a case of the sort.
What is the occasion? Suicides and
crimes are sometimes said to repro
duce themselves by the effect upon
the minds of some of the people who
read about them. But the taking Of
mercury is not intentional. and "sug-
gestion" cannot account for It. Is
mercury kept about the house more
than it used to be? Poisons ought to
be put up in different forms from
other drugs. One suggestion is that
they should be put up only in bottles
nodded with points all over them, so
that the hand would notice the differ
ence even IL the eye did not attend
to the label. There ought to be more
care, both in drug shops and in
homes. a great many people are very
careless. and have poisons standing
around on tables and mantelpieces
where they are easily picked up in
mistake for something else. 1t would
seem as IL everyone would look care
fully at the label on a medicine bot
tie, but We are not always careful.

UNDERGROUND u WIRES IMPRAC-
TICABLE FOR NEWARK
COUNCIL DISCUSSES LOWERING LIGHT r

Councilman Eben B. Frazer re-
ported at the meeting Of Town
Council on Monday night that af
ter talking with different parties
relative to the project Of placing
conduit in Main street so as to do
away with the unsightly poles and
overhead wires, it would be imprac-
ticable for a town the size of New
ark because of the heavy expense.
The project would cost, he said, ac-
cording to his information $35, 900.
There is still chance, however, Of
some Of the poles being removed
as plan is now on which, if car
ried out, would place all the wires
with the exception of the town
electric light wires inside a lead
cable and but one line Of poles
would be necessary to carry the
cable. Representatives Of the tel
ephone and telegraph companies,
Councilman Frazer and Charles B.
Evans, attorney for Town Council,
will hold a conference on the mat
ter in Wilmington in the near fu-
ture.
The matter Of making q reduc-
ton in the electric current for pow
er purposes was discussed but no
action taken. The secretary was
instructed to find out what other
towns of about the same size charge
for current for power purposes aud
report at the next meeting.
The ordinance which will prohib-
it the tearing up of Main street for
five years after next April to make
taps, was given its third and final
reading. The ordinance, the pur-
pose of which is to induce Main
street property owners to connect
with the sewer at once 50 that the
street will not be continually dis
turbed, was passed without any OPP
position.

Enforcing Law Gov
erning Sale Of Drugs

Prompted by the serious condi-
ton of Henry Biddle, 36 years old,
of 906 Tatnall street, Wilmington,
who on Thursday night swallowed
112 grains of bichloride of mercury
the authorities purpose rigidly en-
forcing the law governing the sale
of poisonous drugs. In a state
ment made to Justice Lewis on Sat
urday Biddle said he bought the
mercury tablets at the drug store
at Twelfth and Walnut streets,
conducted by John 0. Hopkins, col
ored, member Of the City Council
and DR.. Conwell Banton, also col
ored, without showing a prescrip-
ton and that he took the poison to
end his life. Councilman Hopkins
said he was sure he did not sell the
tablets and that it is a rule at the
store to enter the names OF all pur-
chasers of poisons not presenting
