Children. Color Up This Picture.
By JOHN M. OSKISON

Long time ago the mole was a big
animal who lived on top Of the ground
and walked and talked with all the
other animals: and the story OF how
he came to change his shape and 60
to live underground is what the old
men used to tell TO the little children
as they walked across the young corn
fields late on the sunny afternoons and
saw where the mole had been at work
throwing the earth up In ridges which
the little boys liked TO trample upon.
Well" the old men would say. 1t
was a long time ago. and the story is
about your great-greatgreat-gre
greatgrandmother when they were
fine young people. When he was a fine
young fighting man. strong enough to
run from this settlement TO the one
across the mountains in one day and
sit up all night in the council when he
got there.
And she was such a young woman
as the old men used to like to see
downs at the spring. laughing and
working at the deerskin. She was
laughing all the time. under her black
hair and out OF her big brown eyes.
And even when your great-great-
great great grandfather came to see
her and sang his song she only laughed
and ran away to her mother. No. she
would not be married to any young
man-so she said
Long time. this strong and brave
young man tried to win the hand OF
your great great great great grand
mother. but she would not listen to
him. and he made himself sick think
ing about her. And il was then that
the mole passed by his camp and felt
sorry for him SO the mole said:
I know why YOU are sick and why
you are weeping. and | will help you.
| can make it SO that the young woman
will like you and come to YOU OF her
own free will Just wait here for me-
And then the mole went away.
Late that night, when your great
great great great grandmother was
sound asleep. the mole burrowed his

And sorrow is all too great.

herself that some one poisoned her.
The old woman had the dead bird
stuffed and placed on a perch In the
house. A few weeks ago she died OF
old age. and everything in her house
was sold at auction. The stuffed par
rot was bought by a boy for six
pence. and when he got 1t home he
found about four thousand dollars In

bird for a bank. There is a suit

Don't Be left-Handed.

II has been estimated that about one
boy out OF fifteen is left-handed when
he reaches the age OF ten. This Is
his mothers fault In not making him
use his right hand more during his ba-
byhood. In Germany there are schools
where the boy is taught to be right
handed Nearly all tools are made
for righthanded men. and the boy
who grows up ieft-handed will be
awkward

inside the house where she was asleep.
And when he saw that she was sleep
ing very soundly. he took out her heart
and went out the same way he came
In.
And then the mole went straight to
the house OF the young man and put
the heart OF your great-great-great-
great-grandmother into his hands. 1t
was so light that the young man could
not even feel II in his hands! Then
the mole said:
"'You must swallow the heart, and
then the young woman will be drawn
to you
Sc the young man swallowed the
heart of the young woman, and when
she woke she had a very strange feel
ing
I must go to that young man. she
said. and she no longer wanted to
laugh when she thought about him
And then the feeling got so strong that
she had to go. and when the young
man saw her coming. he knew that
she was TO be his wife, and the mole's
way was good
Now, all the medicine people of the
tribe wanted to know what it was that
made the young woman change her
mind When they found out it was
the mole. they were angry with him,
and wanted to kill him. You see. the
mole had never been a fellow for talk
ing. and everybody thought that he
was Just stupid, soft-hearted fellow
OF no account.
"Of course. the mole did not want
to be killed by the Jealous medicine
people. and so ne hid himself under
the ground-and ever since he has
stayed there. And ever since he has
been getsing smaller. his nose has been
getting sharper and he no longer has
much use for eyes. Maybe because his
eyes are no good. he eats the hearts
OF the grains OF corn we plant in
spI,ng.
But the mole earned his few grains
of corn. don't you think so?" And the
little boys would step of the ridge
above the mole's burrow and nod their
heads.

MAY Prosecute PERSONS
Who Started BANK RUN

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del, April 3.-The insti-
gator of the report Of the unsound-
ness Of the Peoples Guarantee and
Trust Company of this town, which
caused no little excitement here yes
terday and a run for several hours
on the bank, will be located If 1t is
within the power of the officials of
the bank so to do. This action was
agreed upon at a meeting Of the di-
rectors, after posting a notice on the
trust company's doors, that the com
pany was absolutely solvent and that
the rumor so circulated was false
and groundless in every particular
The report, which caused the run
really proved a boom for the COM
pany, from the fact that several new
depositors opened accounts, while old
depositors increased their deposits
and many of those who had drawn
out early in the morning. returned
them before noon. At the closing
hour the bank had many thousand
dollars on hand, above the amount ol
the remaining deposits.
President Hazel said last night thai
the report OF the financial embarrass.
ment of the bank was a most mali
cious one and the instigator would be
brought to justice If 1t is at all pos.
sible to discover who it might be.

Purpose Gets First Two
Readings
TO TAKE OVER
STEEL co. PROPERTY

Although City Council was in ses-
sion but half an hour last night, con-
siderable business was transacted.
The most important matters TO be
considered were Fairgrounds, and II
the plans proposed last night arc
pushed to completion. the youth OF
the city will be well provided for.
The Board of Park Commissioners
sent a communication signed by all
the members recommending that the
city acquire the north side portion Of
the Diamond State Steel plant along
the Christiana river for park pur-
poses. This letter was referred 70
Council as a committee of the whole.
Il is understood that Council will
purchase the tract. The price asked
is $4,000.
The ordinance providing for a
bond issue of $4,000 for park pur-
poses was given two readings and
referred to the finance committee.
Part of this money will be used in
securing the site at Conrad and Jack
son streets, in the Tenth Ward, for a
playground, and another part of the
money will be used in erecting a
swimming pool at Sixteenth and
Walnut streets for colored people.
Work on this pool has already started.
Council also authorized the issuance
of warrants in favor of City Solicitor
Hastings for two properties in the
Tenth Ward to be used as part of
the Fairgrounds. These were for

A. II. Berlin, President of the Board
of Governors of the Wilmington
High School, stating that the Water
Commissioners had been requested 10
lease the old reservoir at Eighth and
Clayton streets to the High School

port of Council in the matter, stating
that If the site was secured the

about the property, erect a stand and
make such other changes and i'm.
