IT is high time that every man and
woman in Delaware shall rise to the
dignity of a real American citizen, and
by word and act, support the effort Of
those in authority to maintain the peace
and dignity of the nation. 1t is mat
ter of pity rather than cause for resent
ment, when fictitious remarks which
tend to belittle the men who volunteer
their services to the army, are made by
those who should know better; poor
fools, they know not what they do The
boy who tenders his service to the gov
ernment, no matter what his station in
life, is better citizen than the man or
woman, who ridicules his action. When
the time comes, and it will come, the
men and women who attempt to dis
courage the effort to defend the rights of
the American people by military service,
will be made to contribute their just pro-
portion Of service, either in the ranks or
as laborers to save the real soldiers from |
digging trenches. Suppose that the peo-
pie of France had have been actuated BY |
the same feelings of the cheap wits, who
either purposely or without thought |
other than expressing a cheap wit at the
expense of those who have the patriotism
to discharge the duty all owe to the de-
fense of the country? Where would
France be today as a nation had this
maintained Let every man and every
woman resent this kind of chatter from
any and all sources, and shame may
possibly arouse the spirit of patriotism
IN breasts now without any sense other
han the self-complacent desire to escape
my or all responsibility. Skulkers and
ilackers are not to be tolerated anywhere.

Not SO she. Jealous of him as she
was-furiously jealous-not as a lover
for there she knew she was safe. But
she could not bear to think that If she

would fain have had him to be known
as the husband Of that wonderful Mrs.
Carlyle. II was his success, social and
literary. that she resented. It irked
her to be in the second place, and she
could not forgive it. """
There was something else Of which
the lady was jealous, and that was theI
agony Of concentration which her hus
