even see which way he was going, so
intent was he on keeping his eyes on
the butterfly In and out of the paths
he ran, it was just ahead of him, and
had rested for a moment on a flower.
Now was his chance. He sneaked up
softly, jumped, lost his balance, and
right in the front walk, before his
grandmother, he fell against a big
hOllyhock and broke it off close to the
ground.
He drew back ashamed, when he saw
where he was, looked guilty at his
grandmother and stood with his head
hanging. How he wished that he had
been good like Binkiei 1t was a long
time since he had been really bad and
been punished.

turned her back on him. and they all
went into the house. Tom walked
slowly down the path with his head
down. He would miss a good supper.
He knew that, and then he would get
spanked at home. Somehow, I always
make myself unhappy when I do fool

started There is just one thing left
for me to do. And that is to go home,

He did tell the truth, and was so
sorry that Mrs. Tabby didn't spank him

said, there is no need of a spanking"

which is just a few blocks from where
I work, I was asked by three different

other citizens, maybe more or less
times.
Now I will have to admit that these
fellows are human and on a night like
this, personally feel if necessary, [
would do something desperate rather
than lie out in the cold all night. 1 am
not defending the tramp, some say he
deserves the circumstances he made for
himself. We all have to agree that
man who is a success or failure is a
victim of circumstances
Personally I would have helped two
Of those tramps to the price of a bed.
but there has been so much said about
robbery and holdup, that if I had
gun I would have taken pot shot at
the third.
I feel that the average human that
asks, needs and every line of business
is done on the basis Of, Does it pay2'
Yes, believe it will pay to help some
of these hoboes out with soup and
bread and a big room and warm
stove. You will easily save the differ

every day or hear from, but there is
the place to start and begin from.
The widespread and deep seated svr1-
pathy manifested in our country FOR
the starving Belgians is a noble senti-
ment. It stands to the honor. and the
credit Of the American people FL
forts are being made in various parts Of
the country to induce the homeless RsI-
gians to come to the United States and
find homes here, to become a part of ne
enjoying with US the priceless boon Of
American freedom and liberty. We win
be glad TO have as many Of them as
will come to this side Of the water and
become American citizens
But IN number of American cities
we note the organization of men and
women VINO are willing to combine
their efforts for the sustenance and
relief OF the unemployed. There ara
evidently many such If there are they
should not be forgotten. If we are able
to go out into other lands and seek
the suffering and the distressed for
the purpose Of affOrding them relief.
we should not forget those in our own
country who need relief and need it
now and very badly.
There are millions Of Americans WIN
live and support those dependent uDOn
them by their labor. If they are with
out employment without fault Of their
own, they are entitled to the sympathy
and the nelp OF their fellow citizens
If the demand for labor is not sufficient
to take up the supply, it viii not be
right to increase the supply without
addition 70 the demand. But that will be
what is being done if the labor supply
is to be increased by importing labor
from other. countries.
In bestoWing charity it is not neces-
sary for the American people to forget
the needy Of their own country. While
making great efforts for the relief of
those OF other countries, Americans
should adopt the motto of Charity al
home first"

Editor FL PasO Herald;
There seems to be a feeling of deli
cacy, or sensitiveness, in accepting
gifts from near neighbOrs, so it might
be nice to have cars filled with little
tokens in various parts of our big
United States, and sent to some other
part. The children in Maine would en-
joy the novelty of receiving gifts from
Florida, California can send oranges to
New York, and New York some trinkets
to California. 1t would be an inter-
change of local cOlOring'' and, I be-
lieve, help to bring home the idea Of
universal brotherhood.
1t is a fine thing that Americans can
send Europe even a crumb Of comfort.
But we must not overlook our own peo-
pie in gazing far away. We cannot de-
ny that Americans, too, have troubles.

gave as GenarO DelgadO. The man who
did the shooting disappeared and is
believed to have escaped across the

the shooting. The physicians say that
Duran has a slight chance of recovery.

VIOLATING NEUTRALITY.


Editor FL Paso Herald:
I request you to publish this letter
in the name Of fair play. What right
has a country like ours who processes
strict neutrality, when we go and send
war supplies even dumdum bullets, as
is reported from good authorities
Why not be candid and admit that we
are an ally Of the allies and receive
the share of the spells when the time
comes to divide same or carry our part
of the burden that comes in defeat,

LAUNCHING OF The new
STEAMER HARRY DAVIS

At 215 last Saturday afternoon the
new steamboat built for Milford parties,
was launched from the yards of VIM. G.
Abbott & Son, in Milford, and the new
steamer with her machinery and boilers
installed slipped gracefully off the ways
into the Mispillion River. Miss Susie
Davis broke the bottle of wine over her
bow and pronounced her name, Harry
Davis. Her dimensions are 10 feet
keel, beam 224 feet and depth of hold
81 feet. She will be used in freight
work between Milford and Philadelphia
principally. but will also be able to carry
freight from Milton and Lewes part of
the time. The ownership is among
local residents of Milford and nearby.
1t was a beautiful launch. The same
shipyard has another steamboat on the
stocks for parties in the north. At the
yards twelve scows are nearing
completion and they will be used in the
king crab industry the coming summer
along the Delaware Bayshore, for the
Mispillion Fisheries Company.

PROGRESSIVE DINNER PARTY.

The men of the Milford Orchestra will
long remember the delightful evening
which they spent. on March 18th, as
the guests OF the lady members. There
was not a dull moment from the guests
assembled at z. 80 clock until the early
morning hours.
The occasion was known as an Irish
Dinner" but that doesn't begin to de-
scribe it. The so called dinner was
served in four courses, and at as many
different houses. But in every case the
menu was superfine. and the fun un-
diminished. The men were kept guess
ing throughout the evening where thev
would be called upon to go next, al d
what they would find after arriving
there
The place cards as well as the decora-
tions at the various houses were unique
and tasteful and together in keeping
with St Patrick s Day.
Altogether, the affair reflected much
credit upon the genius and ability of our
musical ladies.
One Of the features of the evening
was the relating, by the different mem
bers, of humorous Irish stories and
jokes. Walter Drummer easily carried
off first hOnors in this friendly contest,
for his fund of jokes and stories told in
his inimitable manner was inexhaustible.
In the course of the evening Major
Lank sang Tipperary with much ex
preston, assisted in the chorus by the
entire company of mixed voices. And,
later, when games we're participated in
Miss Mary Barker challenged all comers
in a new kind of "Potatoe Race. and
