slept and dreamed that life was but
beauty. / awoke and found that life
was duty, sang the poet. 1t is by the
faithful discharge of duty that We
become virtuous. and later there comes
into our hearts a sense OF JOY that
we have fulfilled this duty. A friend
of mine going to China made the
statement that he was not going be-
cause he loved the Chinese, for he
didn't think he did, and he knew he
didn't like their pigtails. but he went
because he thought 1t was duty to
our Lord and he wanted to be wit
ness for him. But this friend came
back one day and spoke at meeting
was holding In n Texas college, and
said that he was in China not from a
sense of duty any longer. but because
he loved the CHINESE. If we are will
ling to find this sense of duty. 1t will
become JOY Of love and service.
Spirit of Compassion.
1--WE should bear witness from a
sense of compassion. We should rec
ognize that for every man and woman
in Richmond who has not sense of
personal salvation, we should have a
great spirit of compassion that we
may save them from the eternal dam
nation to which they are doomed

may cost you something to be a wit

Is always greater than the cost God

WITH DENNY CHURCH

Revival services which are being
conducted in DennyStreet Methodist
Church by Rev. Thomas j. Unison
are attracting considerable attention
in che East End and practically every
night the house OF worship is taxed
to its capacity.
The feature of yesterdays services
was the conversion of twenty-five
men at meeting held at o'clock in
the church for men only. Extraorii-
nary interest was manifested by both
old and young men and the pastor,
Rev. j. w. Enre. WAS very much graf
flied over the result of the meeting.
Last night at 8 o'clock the audi
forum of the edifice was filled and
many were unable to gain entrance.
Interest in the services Is growing
daily and 1t is believed that this will
be the most successful meeting ever
held in the church.

DOVER GREEN
IS THE SUBJECT

The sketch for the mural decor
alton at the State House In Dover,
which will be exhibited for the first
time at the DUPONT ballroom, Nov
ember 2 to z, will be interesting to
the public as showing the methods
o. an artist. The finished picture
will be on a large canvas, so that
this preliminary sketch does not 90
into details; 1t simply shows the
general effect of the picture and the
color tones, etc. The processes by
which this sketch is enlarged and
put upon the canvas or the wall are
most interesting.
Beneath the sketch a small photo
graph of the Senate chamber Of the
State House will be shown with the
large picture sketched In as It will
appear in position when finished.
In this same exhibition, Miss Vio-
let Oakley will have some sketches
for mural decorations, and these
again will be different, as each ar
tist has his or her own way Of max

canvasses. Miss Oakley's sketches

Mr.. Arthurs has chosen the mo-
ment when at daybreak the troops
left Dover Green, July s, 1776. OF
the 800 men who marched IN the
Delaware regiments, only 200 ever
came back alive; so they were
heroes indeed. The occasion was
one TO stir every Delawarean heart
to pride. Colonel Hazlitt, on horse

ALL HALLOWEEN
by Mrs. Minnie l.. Carroll.

'Tis All Halloween. the witches
night,
When naught can be seen but the
dimmest light;
'Tis the night when all the ghosts
are walking,
When round the corners the elves
are talking
Planning some mischevious lark
to play,
Ringing door-bells and dragging
the steps away.
This may be pleasure for some
girls and boys.
But 1t isn't the fun fun that good
folks enjoy.
Pleasure and feasting is their
desire,
AS all gather round the glowing
fire,
Telling weird stories of days past
and gone,
OF the mystical charms they de-
pended upon.
OF the tricks they played, and how
nuts were roasted,
But they never confess that the
boys were posted
The young folks laugh at the
mystical jokes,
Played in years gone by, by the
older folks.
How grandmother walked to the
cabbage patch,
Wishing to learn II she'd make q
match
With the jolly young farmer IA
down the road,
Though she knew well enough
where his love was be.
slowed.
OF how grandfather came to the
house that night.
Gross the cabbage patch, giving
grandma a fright;
The folks all laughed when these
tales we're told:
Twas better than being outside in
the cold.
With the witches and ghosts and
naughty young elves,
Who really knew not what to do
with themselves,
And I'm going to say to my
readers just now,
What jokes are you planning, and
where, and how?
Think over this rhyme and ask
yourself
If you'd rather not be mis-
chevious elf,
But get some young friends 70
come to your home,
And not be about while the
witches roam.

ARE INVITING

Thoughtless boys who, in celebrat-
ing tick-tack night and Halloween
tonight, destroy property, will be
dealt with severely, according to
Chief of Police Black The chief
says there is no objection to innocent
pranka, which injure no one and de-
stroy nothing. and such harmless
amusement will be permitted.
Although, unlike previous years,
no rules governing the celebration
of Halloween on the streets Of Will
mington have been issued by the
police department this year, the OBJ
servance will be governed practically
in the same manner. Confetti throw
ing by the costumed merrymakers
will not be permitted.
With the day of ghosts and mys-
terry at hand the spirit Of Halloween
pervades the atmosphere, for wher-
ever one looks, the evidence of readi-
ness for the celebration of the fete
OF all fetes. when frolic and jollifica-
ticns are more than ever the order
Of affairs, are few. Thousands of
Wilmingtonians will participate in
the festivities and elaborate prepar-
ations are under way for the proper
celebration.
Hard times are not evident In the
gaily decorated windows of the nov
city shops, where the far-famed witch
sits hunched over her traditional pot
of brew and where black cats and
spirits gambol together amid all

and invite him to come in and buy.
While the displays of Halloween
novelties include some of the old
time noisemakers, the celebration of
the present day has lost much of the
rcwdyism which marked It in the
past, when several bricks tied to a
4 rope was considered the best form
of a ticktack and front gates and
porches were stolen and spirited
away with impunity. Today, how
ever, the majority of persons are
more than willing to hold their iolli-
fications in less noisy, but none the
less delightful merrymaking.

Sir: Last spring, owing to the in ?
dustry of the American hen, eggs
went down from so cents a dozen
to about 20 cents a dozen. At thai
time there was great rejoicing in the
office Of the Every Evening.-if we
may judge from several editorials
on the subjects-over the beneficial
results of the Wilson tariff in re
ducing the price OF this necessary
article of household use to less than

But, alas! Eggs are so cents a

of going higher. What is the matter
