OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES l

My little girl received picture puzzle
the other day, from friend who had been
visiting her. Last night after the household
was asleep, was sitting at my desk trying
to work. In reviewing the old year, things
didn't seem to come out right-every thing
dead wrong They had been wrong all day.
Little worries of details had formed con-
spiracy, seemingly, against me. Honest
opinions had been challenged motives ques-
tioned,-in their solid alignment even the
evening lamp and favorite book failed to
dispel the fears, resulting from too hard
day.
mpossible-What's the Use-Misun-
derstood-that Trinity of Defeat, stood be-
fore me and demanded my surrender. In the
language of the street-or better, the coun-
try road had the blues. Seeing the pic
ture puzzle before me- where Boots" had
left it, began, almost unconsciously, to put
the fantastic pieces together. 1 experienced
no difficulty in matching the cards. Then
came card, rather jig-saw in shape, ap-
parently of little Importance, yet it puzzled
me to find it's place. Not until that card was
used could 1 find place for the others. My
curiosity was aroused. I wanted to see the
complete picture. Forgetting thoughts of
self of few moments before, set to work in
earnest Finding the position for my little
insignificant, Enthusiastically cut card, the pic
ture was soon complete.

ENGLAND Salutes WASHINGTON

England has growing recognition for
American Heroes. A few weeks ago, a tablet
was placed at the ancestral home of Lincoln
and now, by gift of the State of Virginia, the
statue of Washington has been unveiled in
the heart of London For years, she has
preserved Sulgrave, the English home of the
Washingtons. Now the flag of the Stars and
Stripes fly in Trafalgar.
Of good omen, this. And if the Statue
of Washington convinces the Britisher with
the same power as the Original, England will
begin to understand more clearly, respect
more openly and honor more generously,
that Experiment in Democracy" known as
America.
When Washington, Lafayette and Corn
wallis hold conference and announce to the
world. that the Decision was unanimous
then indeed, the Peace of the World is at
hand

= Il LOG IN THE DAM
,pplpp bppt-b,

There on the desk before me was a
beautiful scene Of peaceful nature, wooded
stream. In the distance was the old mill,
with it's poetic wheel. Painted I guessed, by
one who had played there in boyhood, it had
the technique showing the touch of an artist
Yet these touches were so blended that in
admiration of the picture, one lost sight of
the minute details that made it great
looked at it long. could almost hear
the splash of the moss covered paddles, the
whirring moan of the grist stones. Watch
ing the sun sinking there in the west back of
the old mill hole, forgot the worries of the
day and boyishly prided myself on my sue
cess with this simple little picture puzzle.
But the jig-saw card-so insignificant
in itself, yet necessary to the picture! Why,
that's myself! Perhaps have place, after
ALL The New Year means a new day, another
opportunity. I'll try again.
l tore up the picture reluctantly and
found the card representing my mental state
of the hour previous. It was an old log in
the dam. l smiled to myself am part of
the worlds old dam and here I was resenting
the accusation.
Yet the dam was necessary. The old log
was necessary to the picture, to the mill and
to the grist Of the neighborhood.
So I'll take, again, my part tomorrow

Trip Tickets Influence Trade

The Wilmington Chamber of Commerce
could attract buyers to their city by making
some arrangement whereby residents of
nearby towns could secure reduced railroad
rates. Philadelphia does well when she Sc
cures the 1O-trip ticket for Wilmingtonians.
A similar plan for Newark would attract
buyers to stop off rather than go to Philadel-
phia. A ten-trip ticket from Newark, with
transferable privileges, to Wilmington,
would increase sales in that city. The Cham
Der of Commerce of Wilmington can prob
ably bring this to pass. There is entirely too
much trade going from Newark to Philadel-
phia that rightfully belongs to our own CITY,
A ten-trip ticket will help stop it.

to have bocn Sim Feiners. still was
burning. All the interior had been
destroyed at that hour but the main
walls were standing, as was the dome,
the chief architectural feature of the
building, and the clock was keeping
time.
A high official stated that the most
important documents of the local gov
ernment board. which were the prin-
cipal object of the attack. had been
saved. Mahon LaWless. q customs Of
fetal, was among those killed in the
fight in and about the building.
During the night sullen bursts of
flame in the twisted chaos of stone
and steel lighted up the scene. about
which British armed forces kept Wig
liant guard.
Fifty Men in Prison.
Fifty men. arrested by crown forces
after a pitched battle in and about
the old building. spent the night in
various prisons in the city. and the
bodies of upward OF a dozen persons
killed during the struggle reposed in
morgues. 1t was believed that some
of the raiders perished in the fire
they kindled.
The customhouse was completed
in 1891, and was one of the chief
architectural ornaments of the city.
The building, which housed the local
government board. the boards of trade
and public works and other local bod
les, was situated on the left bank of
the Liffey river. The side facing the
water was of Portland stone, while
Il
1t was of Doric style of architecture and
was crowned with a dome, surrounded
by statue Of Hope.
1t was said here today that the de-
struction of no other building in the
city, not even Dublin Castle, would have
caused as great loss to crown officials.

Troops were quartered in Liberty
Hall nearby during the night, and the
approaches to the custom house were
cut off by barbed wire entanglements.
1t was found this morning that the
government board offices, which it had
been hoped had escaped flames, had
been destroyed.
1T is not merely a blow to Irish
pride and commerce." said the Irish
Times this morning, in commenting
on the fire. but it is a blow to all
our prospects Of peace. Its political
effect in Great Britain will be to still
further discredit the republican de-
mands, but the effect in Ireland will
be to increase the difficulties of any
form Of national settlement"
The FreemanS Journal said: "It may
be a noble thing to rise to higher
things on the stepping stones of our
dead selves. but when the stepping
stones are the corpses of our dead
countrymen the achievement is not
noble"
