From the Dover State News.
Representative Buekson, OF Dover.
last week introduced a bin In the
House OF Representatives OF the Della

the establishment OF a county hospital

thousand dollars has been subscribed,
and Il names as lncorporators num-
ber Of the leading citizens OF this com
munity A similar bin has been intro
duced al past sessions OF the Legis-
lature. but has never succeeded In pass
ing because OF the fact that the state
Treasury has generally lacked sufficient
funds to warrant making such an ap-
preparation, although II was freely con-
ceded that the cause was a worthy
one.
owing TO the large revenue derived
from the state Income Tax, the State
Treasury this year Is In better condl-

Marriage is the point at which you
cease elevating a mans soul, and be-
gin cleaning safety razor.
This is the time of year when a
summer-girl begins wondering if any
of the men to whom she became en-
gagged in July are sufficiently worth
while" to invite to her January teas.
The average man will make more
fuss over losing a golf ball or col
lar-button, than he will over losing
his reputation, his fortune, or his
soul.
Where, all where, is the glorious
Apollo who caused such a stir among
feminine hearts as he dived six feet
into the bounding serf last summer?
Probably standing with shivering re-
luctance, trying to work up courage
to turn on his shower-bath, dearie!
Winning a husband is merely -"be-
ginner's luck" in the marriage game.
After that, girl still has all the fine
points of the game to learn, and a
hundred chances to win or lose.
Something Of Gods sunshine must
seep through to the soul of the golf
er-it's so hard to find a crouch, a
dyspeptic, or pessimist among them.
Why do so many women seem to
think nowadays, that brains can be
"Burbanked" inside of the head, SIM
ply by cutting off the hair on the out
side?
Which is the weaker sex"-that
sex which hasn't the strength to put
the studs in the shirts and fix it's own
bath-water? Or that sex that man.
ages to do a hard days work at the
typewriter on the strength of choc-
olate-eclair and a glass of ice cream
soda?
Many girl thinks man simply
wonderful until she discovers that
he thinks so, too.
