Hills of Antrim Nell'
Can Irish Love Ballad
Dedicated to my friend, N. Williamson.
The bonny hills of Antrim were crowned
with heather green,
The sunbeams in their splendor softly
fell.
The day kissed the Barney from your
lips, my sweet Colleen,
And parted from my hills of Antrim
Nell.
Though years have paled to memory
since | left Erin's Isle,
A picture in my dreaming haunts me
yet.
My heart is always yearning for your
"winnin," Irish smile
/ love o Nell; you know | can't for
get.
Chorus:
Antrim Nell, for you I'm pining
Like the shamrock for the dew,
Dreaming of the love-light shining
In your Irish eyes of blue;
Once again | seem to see you,
Just a full-blown heather bell
(Agraw McChree asthor acushla)

TELLS ABOUT JOHN RANDOLPH
Thomas H. Benton Relates Interview
With Eccentric Man, in Which He
Depicts His Melancholy Mood.

Thomas H. Benton in his "Thirty
Years View" gives an interesting ac-
count of an interview he had with the
eccentric John Randolph of Roanoke.
The interview was at Mr.. BentOn's
room in CrawfOrds hotel, in George
town. 1t was in the gloom of the eve
ming, before the lamps were lit. Mr..
Randolph, reclining on soft, silent
and thoughtful, repeated, as if to him
self JOhnsOn's lines on "Senility and
Imbecility," that show his life under
it's most melancholy form:
In life's last scenes what prOdigies
surprise,
Fears of the brave and follies of the
wise.
Down MarlbOrough's eyes the streams
of dotage flow,
And Swift expires a driveller and a
SHOW"
When Mr.. Randolph finished repeat
ing these lines, Mr.. Benton said to
him: "Mr Randolph. 1 have often
heard you repeat these as if they could
have an application to yourself, while
no one can have less reason than your
self to fear the fate of Swift"
tt this Randolph replied: 81 have
lived in dread of insanity"
While Randolph was not insane ir
the ordinary sense of the word, it Il
certain that he had occasional TEN
pOrary alterations of the mind, and il
was during such times that his tall
was most brilliant, a cOpious flow fol
hours of wit and classic alluslon,
perfect scattering of the diamonds o,
| the mind.
His will was contested on the GROUND
of insanity, but it was not set aside

''I'll make a stew-anybOdy can

And she proceeded to make a stew.
In the icebOx she found seven frank
furters, a dozen fried oysters and three
picked herring.
'HOw fOrtunate-meat is the very
importantest thingT she exclaimed.
And she chopped it all up and added
three cupfuls of salt and two Of pepper
so as to be sure not to forget the sea-
soning. Then-because she knew that
a stew must have lots of variety-she
put in a glass of olive oil, two table
spoonfuls of grated nutmeg, two pack
ages of Saratoga chips, a can of sal
mon and a half cake of bitter chOcO-

Governor Miller Makes Strong Appeal
Governor Miller was the next
speaker and held the closest attention
of his hearers as he reviewed the
terrible struggle in Europe of the
past three and half years. Few of
us who are accustomed TO looking
about US over peaceful and picturesque
rural scenery realize that we are ac-
tually in a state of war. We have,
none of us, become thoroughly awak-
ened to the fact. The United States
entered this war, he said. from no
choice. We were drawn into it in the
interest of humanity and a safe de-
mocracy for the world. 1t has now
become our war. Those who are not
eligible for service on account of age
limit or other varied causes, must
"enlist their dollars and help our
own army and the armies of our allies
to win the war. We can all do ''our
bit, " rich and poor alike and he asked
a full and hearty support to the efforts
of H. P. Scott and his corps of assist
ants to the end that Delaware would
round out the campaign with the sat
flying success that has so signalized
the efforts of our beloved state in
other movements of a similar charac
ter. Gov. Miller closed with a fine
tribute to Belgium and France and oul
allies in Europe and succeeded il
stirring up patriotism by his historical
and graphical mention of the war from
its beginning to the present time. The
war saving stamps and certificates are
on sale at the Postoffice, our TIVE

TELLS OF THE WORK Of
FORESTERS IN FRANCE
Lieut.. Col. Graves Says Military
Progress Developed a Greater
Problem for q. s. Engineers.

The importance Of the work of the Goth
Engineers Forest), some Of the members
of which were on tho Tuscania, torpedoed
of the coast Of Ireland. is told by Lieut..
Col. Henry S. Graves, a member Of Gen.
Pershing's stafr and formerly United
States forester. who has just returned
from France.
Col. Graves is the United States for
ester who has been in charge Of forestry
work 'over there" and left Mai William
B. Greeley in control when he returned.
Col. Graves says OF the work Of the
foresters:
when reached France found that
the program for American military opera
tions was developing on a much larger
scale than had been foreseen and that this
had developed a greater problem of for
estry in connection with supplying the
expeditionary forces with timber for mill
tary needs. The engineering feature OF
modern warfare is of great Importance
The need of material is tremendous, not
work, but for transportation lines. for
road building and for the erection Of the
various buildings required by an army
to be used as barracks. hospitals. ware
houses and for other purposes. The use
Of wood for fuel is also an item of i'm
mense Importance.
Largest Regiment in the World.
For this reason the goth was made
the largest regiment in the world. The
forest conditions necessitate the scat
tering of the troops and adapting them
to military operation. The men are
engaged in industrial work rather than
military activity, and for this reason
they do not require the same measure
of military supervision that goes with
ordinary military work.
soon after my arrival I was placed
IN charge of the section Of forestry in
the Engineer Corps and given charge
of all forestry work for the America n
armies. The first problem was to se-
cure the forest in which the work was
to be done ] furnished the general
idea of what we needed and a line of
procedure was worked out with the
French authorities As to the cession of
private forests and the granting Of
cutting rights on those publicly owned.
This was done in coordination with
the allied armies. and 1 found splendid
cooperation at the hands Of the
French authorities
The timber to be cut is marked for
our men by French foresters and the
cutting is being done on forestry prin-
ciples to bring about the hest possible
results in silviculture. The reports
brought to me through French ofFicfal ls
We're extremely gratifying as showing
that they were much pleased with the
results of the work done by the Amer
