Making Home Happy.

The husband has something to
do 10 make his home happy one,
as well as the wife. When she tries
SO hard 10 please the one she loves
best of all in the wide world-the
one she cliDgs TO, though she must
leave father, mother, brothers and
sisters and many loving friends for
his sake, and perhaps endure hard
ships never before thought of--what
harm will II do him II he some
times gives her proper need OF
praise? A married woman loves the
attention OF her husband Just as
well as the young lady does her
lover; and II she is a true wife she
certainly is Just as deserving of 1t.
And If all wives received this kind
ly sympathy, which is truly their
right, there would be fewer sorrow
ing hearts and sad faces in the
world than there are now.
There are some old men and wo-
men whose souls have ripened and
sweetened, even under the chilling
winds OF adversely. Those whom theJ
loved have been taken from them |;
that which they most ardently de-
sired has been denied them; that
which they would not have chosen
has been laid upon them, and out
of II all they have extracted sweet
ness, patience and strength. These
qualities draw TO them the weak and
the sorrowful, whom they send
away with something OF that re-
freshment which the .ailing must
have felt who followed Christ when
he laid his hand upon them.
Domestic skeletons are usually
formed of the bones of contention.

There is a dignity in going away

is w. A. SCOTT ELIGIBLE TO
SERVE AS LEVY COURTMAN?

Levy Court had accumulated a float
ing debt of more than S150,0O0 and in
1897 they went to the legislature to
get authority to issue bonds to fund
this debt.
The late John Pyle was a hold-over
Senator at this term. and he refused
to consent to the bond issue except
with the provision that would render
the members Of the Levy Court ineli-
gible for another election. The fol-
lowing provision was therefore tack
ed on the bond issue act:
From and after the passage of this
act no person elected Levy Court
Commissioner in and for any Of the
districts of New Castle county shall
be eligible for a second term
At the election OF 1900 Mr.. Scott
was not a candidate, but in 1904 he
was again elected, Notwithstanding the
provision of the law of 1897, and served
for four years. The Legislature in the
meanwhile, during the session of 1901,
increased the number of commissioners
from FIVE to seven, and provided that
the district which Mr.. Scott represented
be divided, st. Georges and pencader
comprising the Sixth District and APP
poquiniminlS and Blackbird hundreds the
! Seventh District. Nothing in the act
of 1901 in any way amended or repealed
the disabling clause of the act of 1897
il IS claimed, as to man serving a
second term.
I An act was passed by the Legisla-
ture in 1909, providing that the Levy
/ Court Commissioners elected in 1917
I from Districts 2, A and 6. should be
elected Tor a term of two years instead
of four. and that beginning with the
election of 1914 the commissioners
should all be elected for four years
! The act further provided that any per
son elected in either of the three dis
tricts named above shoulde be eligi
BILE for reelection at the election il
November. 1914, but after the elec

titled to run again for the Office at tn
