her in clothes.
Still | don't think she was happy.
She couldn't go to sewing circles
and air her information about every
body she knew nor excite the envy of
other ladies by wearing her new win
ter bonnet to church.
Neither could she hang over the
back fence and gossip with her neigh
Dor.
All these blessed privileges were
denied her.
Poor Eve. she's dead now.
And the fashion she inaugural
ed is dead too.

dous fund of knowledge and tongue

She has the capacity for learning
every thing she was divinely intended
to know, and a few extra items be-
sides.
Young ladies take a good deal Of
stock in classics and learn fast.
When you see young lady stu,

look in her eye and her lips moving,
you understand at once that she is
memorizing a passage from Virgil.
But perhaps closer inspection will
reveal the fact that she is only chew

but she can pack more articles into
trunk than a man can into one
horse wagon.
The happiest period of a woman's
life is when she is making her we'd
ding garments.
The saddest is when her husband
comes home late at night and yells
to her from the front door steps to
throw out handful of keyholes of
different sizes.
There is some curiosity In feminine
nature.
For instance, l once knew young
lady who could easily pass another
one on the street without looking
around to see what she had on.
Poor thing! she was blind.
One of the worst habits a woman
can get into is riding habit.
But it is not much worse than the
modern walking dress that ladies per-
sist in wearing on the streets.
When woman approaches the
crossing she pauses for one fleeing
instant, gives sudden kick that
would fire the envy of a Mexican
mustang, and catches her train on the

The average woman is twenty-five.
She never lives to be very old.
Some of them look to be well adj

Judge by appearances.
If you will take the trouble to ask
a woman how old she is you will get
the real facts of the matter.
And discover that she is quite
young. She seldom passes her thir- !

About that time she begins to tear
out certain leaves in the family Bible.

Memphis Riddles and their boy and

The search promises to be successful
and the hundreds of youngsters who
were disappointed yesterday by there
being no colored comic supplement

of boys and girls Sunday just how
their friends happened to be missing
from their usual four-page home in

A reporter, sent out in search, came
in with this information and like all
good reporters, said he believed it to
be true:
He went to lock for Jimmie first.
His father, Mr.. Thompson, was not at
home. Mrs. Thompson said he had
sent Jimmie out for some sugar, and
when he did not return--"in the mean
time'-Father Thompson went out,
and now both are missing. A tele-
phone from the police department said
Jimmie went astray and was found in

and the force is now installed in what
is probably the most up-to-date bank

TIE old building has been changed
and enlarged to such an extent that no
one would recognize it as the same
place. The entire front of brick and
stone was torn out, and new Colonial
front of brick and marble, with lime
stone trimmings, built in it's place.
Large plate class doors have replaced
the old wooden doors, and the general
appearance is much improved.
The inside arrangements have also
been improved greatly. The banking
room on the ground floor has been en-
larged by one-half, separate cages have
been installed for the paying and re-
ceiving tellers, and the note clerk,
while cozy private Office has been pro-
vided for the cashier. The bookkeep-
ing department has been installed in the
rear of the building. All the furniture
is of mahogany, and much labor saving
machinery has been added to the equip
m 9nt of the institution.
The directors rooms are on the Sec
ond floor and include the entire front of
the building. The furnishings of the
room are also of mahogany, while the
walls are sand finished and the wood

Oysters Scarce and High

The scarcity of oysters in all the
streams down the Peninsula. especially
at Crisfield, Md, due to the difficulty
the boats are experiencing in loading
because of ice in the rivers and harbors
has driven the prices higher than has
ever been known before. While there
has been no protracted cold spell there
has been just enough ice made to pre-
vent the regular runs of boats, and as
a consequence the stock of oysters in
the house on both Delaware and Mary
land streams has been low all the past
month. The highest price was reached
last week when shell stock brought
$l.7O per bushel in the market.
Opened oysters are quoted at 1925 per
gallon for standards and $3.50 for Sc
