of NO other topic of to start OFF the
initial conversation. Weather is also
discussed among friends and without
it, the world would be hard up for
something to talk about. In the WIZ
ter when it is bitter cold, folhs
vouch for the fact that they always
did like summer the best Of any sea-
son in the year and in the sumer, 1t
is the same way. Poets, too, like 10

An old barber, living in a North
ountry market town, recently made
clever reply to a farmer who went
to his shop to get shaved.
1t was market day, and several
people were awaiting their turn, when
the agriculturist, who was wealthy,
but inclined to be mean, entered and
addressed the barber as follows:
Il say Billy, farming pays very
badly nowadays; thou ought to shave
us for half price"
Nay, nay said Billy, who knew
his business we'll. 81 ought to hev
double price now, for farmers faces
are twice as long as they used to be" :"

PAUL PRY's GLENDALE
LETTER.

Paul Pry." the writer of the week
! ly letter to the Chronicle from Ellen
dale, has again become almost blind !;
as he dictated these items for the
paper he could scarcely see. He is
under the care of his physician, in
Milford while his daughter, Miss Ger
trude Dickerson, is in the Milford
Emergency Hospital under the care
of a doctor. His son. Willard S.
Dickerson, Jr., a member of the Del
aware Regiment, now stationed at
Camp Townsend, mads a nying trip to
his home here on Monday to see his
sick sister and father, which will
probably be his last visit to his old
home before he leaves for training
camp in the south and maybe for a
foreign land before long.
We learn that Mrs. Carrie Short
Welch, OF Philadelphia, who was Wis
iting friends here, has been stricken
with paralysis and is in a critical con-
dition. Mrs. Kate Welch has also
been stricken, and while she has
been very i'll, is now improving.
Mrs. Frank Ingram of Marcus
Hook, while on visit to her parents
MIR. and Mrs. Hitch, lost her little

been visiting her daughter in New
Haven, Conn.,, has returned to her
home. and is delighting her neighbors
and friends with accounts of the
scenes in the northern cities and the
beauties of the surrounding noun
tains.
The brown foliage on all vegetation
gives plain evidence of Jack Frost.
and the snappy breeezs call forth
heavy garments. However there are
still few tomatoes coming into the
markets which command fancy prices
and kiefer pears are plentiful at the
cannery, which is running full time
to dispose of the big supply.
William Donovan has lost his faith
tul family horse, which was known
over the county as a splendid road
ster. But since the animal was stOl-
en- by the thieves who entered the
postoffice last winter and driven over
in Maryland left in the public high
way to exposure. she has been rap
idly failing, until succumbing to her
injuries.
Mrs. David Warren suffered an ac-
cident on last Saturday when she

SOUR STOMACH.

Eat slowly, masticste your food thor

to cause sour stomach and you may find
it best to cut them out.
