How Frank Was Shamed
BY VIRGINIA VALE

Once upon a time there were
two boys named Frank and Fred
They were both fond of playing
ball and wanted to play on the
ball team that had been formed in
the village. Fred was a member
of the team but they hadn't asked
Frank to Join and he felt very
much hurt because they didn't
ask him.
One day, as Fred was batting
the ball went flying into the next
field behind the fence. and fell
right in front of Frank who was

STATUE TO RODNEY.
General Wilson and Judge
Grubb Head Movement to
Honor Statesman
PROPOSE MEMORIAL
ON COURTHOUSE LAWN

Delawareans are determined TO
honor the memory of Caesar Rodney.
Headed by General James H. Wilson
and former Judge l. c. Grubb, plans
are being made whereby an eques-
trian statue of fitting and attractive
design will be erected within the near
future on the Court House square,
which is also on the route taken by
Caesar Rodney when he made his ia
nous ride from Lewes TO Philadel-
phia.
While no active campaign toward
securing the funds for the erection
of the statue has as yet been started,
such will be done in the early fall at
which time committees will be ap-
pointed and the campaign started
in earnest. IL is thought that the
statue will cost fifty thousand dol
lars and in all probability the cam
paign will be conducted for that
amount. Considering the fact that
the historic ride of Caesar Rodney
proved to be one of the most import
ant acts that have ever marked the
historic growth of our country in
that it broke the deadlock that threat
ened the liberty of the American peo-
pie. this amount is not considered
excessive.
The other patriotic societies
throughout the State will cooperate
with the Society Of Colonial Danes
which originated the plan. The
Daughters OF the American Revolu.
tion have already heartily endorsed
the plan and now that their proposed
i tablet to Rodney that they had de
/ sired to have erected in Indepen-
dence Hall, in Philadelphia has beer
turned down by the art commission
Of that city, IL is thought that they
will turn their attention toward co
operating in a more active way witt
/ the Society of the Colonial Danes ir
helping to erect the equestrien statue
A great many prominent men il
the State have expressed thmselves
as being heartily in favor of the
project. among them are judge Ig
natius Grubb. Senator Willard Sauls
bury, General James H. Wilson anC
others. It is a popular plan and on,
that should meet with the co-opera
tion Of the entire State
The statue to be erected will be
monument of which all Delawarean
should be proud and one that al
strangers coming to the city will OBJ
serve and admire.

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
By S. w. sTRAUS
Rrs5deH1 ASueyioaH Soae1 for Thrift

His friend approved But" said
he, what practical lessons in thrift
are you giving him, so that he, in
turn, viii be able to take care of a
famiy9 How are you teaching him
the value of money! Above every
thing else teach him early the bene-
fits to be derived from saving and
from earning money himself He
will thank you for it some day"
The father was impressed by the
idea and agreed TO do as his friend
suggested
However, not all fathers have such
foresighted friends. Thus, teaching
children thrift is one essential thing
in our education that should be taken
up in our schools.
The lessons of thrift, like other
lessons, are best learned when young,
when the mind is receptive. The
Germans understand this, and out of
their necessity at the present time,
they are teaching the children in
their schools how to cope with the
necessity of the future They are
being taught scientifically how and
what to eat; to eat meat substitutes
which are easier to get and cheaper; /;
to masticate the food thoroughly, be-
cause when one chews food thor
oughly, less is required; not to eat
between meals and in every way to
practice thrift. The other coun-
tries at war are doing much the
same thing.
Thrift is a necessity in times of
war which only goes to show its ad-
vantage in times of peace. But
above all things else let us remember
that If we would have the nation
Of tomorrow thrifty we must teach
thrift to the child of today.

New News Of Yesterday
The Commissioner Who
Refused to Be Recalled
BY Holland.

ANY one who has the time and the
patience, together with a keen per-
ception of humor, could find in the
archives of the State Department in
Washington sidelights which would
reveal phases of the character OF
many men who were prominent years
ago in public life" said the late
Frederick w. Seward to me at time
when he was speaking of the nego-
tiations of our treaty with Mexico by
means of which we gained California
and New Mexico. Mr.. Seward, was
assistant secretary of state under his
father during the administration Of
President Lincoln and President
johnson. He was again assistant sec
retary of state for a part OF the
time when William NJ. Evarts was
secretary.
81 did not have much time to look
into the archives of the State Depart
ment until the last year or two Of my
j service as assistant secretary OF
state, but l did hear and occasional
ly confirmed by examination some
very interesting and rather humor-
Gus things of which the public had
no knowledge.
There is, for instance the case
of Nicholas Trist. There is nothing
in the history of our State Depart
ment which compares with it in one
respect. Trist was a good deal of a
man, and he had a strong leaning
toward diplomacy. l think he was
a friend of James Buchanan; GER
tainly 1t was under Buchanan's SER
vice as secretary of state in Presi-
dent Folks administration that Trist
became chief clerk.
After Gen. Scott had captured
Chapultepec, and thereby secured the
city of Mexico. Buchanan believed
that the time had come to begin peace
negotiations with Mexico. He was
very fond of Trist and believed him
competent 10 serve as our peace COM

fornia and New Mexico to the United
States. but his proposition was VIC.
lently repulsed by the Mexican com,
missioner. When Buchanan fount
that Mexico would not cede Cali
fornia and New Mexico he sent wore
TO Trist that he had been recalled
Trist paid no attention to that com
mand, but he did not inform the Mex
ican commissioners that he had beer
deprived of his authority. He nego
tiated a treaty with the commission
ers whereby the United States agree,
to pay Mexico S15,OOO,0O0 for Califor
mia and New Mexico. Then he hur

The father had given the subject
no thought, but said that with the

NEW YORK. Jun.s 15.-Today as
yesterday. the market for exchange on
London held the center of the finan.
cial stage. From yesterdays closing
rate of Salty the astonishing decline
occurred today to s4.76as. with even
that rate purely nominal move
ment which reflected complete demon.
alfzation of that market, and what
may be described as a conclusive
movement, in favor Of this
country as against England.
This rate, it will be observed, is
seven to eight cents per pound ster.
ling below the normal minimum and
more than ten cents below the par of
exchange: it therefore reflects de.
probation, on the usual basis of eco
nomic measurement, of nearly two
percent. Nothing like this has occur
red in the century past; for the alb.
normal decline in sterling at New
York in 1873 and 1857 was due TO en-
tireIy different causes In these years,
the trouble lay in New York's inabil-
ity to buy sterling bills while hands
capped by panic conditions at home.
The difficulty now arises from London
inability to sell even Nth New York
in the best ina enable position to pay
the purchase price.
