An alarm of fire was sounded at
Dover Wednesday afternoon, whicn
proved to be the residence of Mrs. W..
T. Kellum on Governors avenue, three
doors above the Robbins Hose House.
The fire started in the weatherboard-
ing on the west side of the house and
was eating into the roof by the time
the fremen arrived. They quickly ex-
tinguished the blaze.

Members and friends of Wesley M.
E. Church, Dover, completely surpris-
ed the pastor, Rev. j. w. Colona, his
wife and daughter Wednesday evening
when nearly 100 of them marched to
the parsonage, loaded with provisions
and remembrances of all kinds. Pas
tor Colona and his wife were so taken
by surprise that for the time being
they could hardly compose themselves.
When asked what it all meant, some
one in the crowd gently reminded the
dominic and his helpmate that it was
the sixteenth anniversary of their
marriage.

Why GIow-Worms Glow.

When Mrs. Glow-worm, who is real
ly a beetle and not worm, shines
brightly in the grass during the warm
summer nights, she is not burning for
our benefit. She is waiting patiently
until Mr.. Glow-worm comes flying that
way. Her lamp is the only means she
has of telling him that she is there.
Unlike her husband, she has no wings,
and only six very weak legs. She
cannot, therefore, go to look for him,
and nature has denied her a voice
with which to produce the sounds of
which other beetles are capable. She
has to rely entirely on her lamp and
to keep 1t bright, too, because Mr..
Glow-worm is not keen-sighted, and
might easily blunder past in the dark.
Also she may readily miss him, for he
gives out only a faint glow that flick
ers near his tail.
