WARREN HAIR. HAIRS AT THIS ON

WARREN HAR- HAIRS AT THIS ONE
 Senator Harding was in his fathers office in Marion. when a fairly we'll dressed stranger came in and intro duced himself as John Harding of Vlr- ginia.
 "He certainly was an affable fel- low says Dr. Harding, land he very soon established that he was one of our Virginia cousins, whom we had never seen.
 He said that he was just passing through Marion on his way back home But I've met with a most unusual misfortune,' he added. Somewhere about town I've lost my poscketbook with my railroad ticket and I'm strand ed now
 Warren was all sympathy. Don't let that worry you, John, he said, handing him $20.
 Judge William Scofield and c. C. Fisher
 Funny thing happened the other day. said the judge. A distant cousin from southern Indiana, George Sco- | field, whom I'd never seen. dropped in on me. He'd lost his pocketbook and I advanced him $20 to get home
 ''|hen Fisher piped up. A fellow came in to see me the other day and | borrowed s20 from me with the story that his name was Fisher, from Penn ! sylvania and that we were distantly related. He also had lost his pocket | book
 Warren pretended to look them over | pityingly. 'Gentlemen,' he said severe | ly, this ought to be a good lesson foi both of you. It ought to teach you not to believe the story of every oily tongued stranger who comes along

DELAWAREANS AT REHOBOTH.
Colony There Like One Big Family
Enjoying Ocean Breezes-SenatOr
L. NJ. Price Active For Resort

Rehoboth is justly popular with the
crowds OF Delawareans who are seek
ing its pleasures there this summer
lhere is something alluring and ex-
cltlng IN the sight of the long beach
swept by the surging ocean waves,
In many ways the resort is more de-
slrable than Atlantic City and Ocean
City. There are no crowds. hence no
uttered beach, and there is an air of
friendly Delaware feeling noticeable
at RehObOth. Here friends meet
trends year after year, and the Young
people gather each summer from a
radius OF Is miles. The bathing is
very fine, though a lack of beach
guards seems dangerous. Bathing
SUIT restrictions are not even known
at Rehoboth. 1t is eminentlv proper
place where dimpled knees are we'll
covered when my lady takes a dip.
the unrestricted shimmy dancing is
never seen, altogether it is strange
no greater effort is made to attract
large crowds to the resort. It MIGHT
easily hold second honors, DESPITE the
long and tiresome journey to reach it.
There is one enlivening incident to
break the monOtony of the trip-the
youth who calls "S-a-n-d-w-i-c-b-e-s''
near Georgetown. The commission
appointed by the recent Legislature
TO consider methods of saving the
shore front at Rehoboth from rava-
ges OF the sea held its first meetinr
on Friday, in the cottage of Edmund
Mitchell, at Rehoboth. Members of
the commission are Senator Price. If
Smyrna, Senator Palmer, Representa-
ives Mulvena and Clendaniel and
colonel Edmund Mitchell The last
named was unanimously chosen pres
dent. A secretary will be named
ater. Following organization the
commission inspected the beach and
discussed means Of preventing erosion
" tldes and storms. The plan re-
emily put forth by sinking old-Ger-
nan battleships, given by the govern
nent, at right angles to the beach to
ct as jetties, was talked over. and
finally was decided to employ an
hglneer skilled in tidal work.
