Kid Glove Penwlpers.

You can make penwipers out of old
kid gloves and use them at the next
church fair. Cut up the gloves into
circles, using chiefly the backs and
wrists. Stitch all strongly together
through the center. Then take good
long cork and stick it in the center of
the top layer of circles, sewing 1t in
place. Next, take sealing wax, one
bright color, or several colors, as you
prefer. Drop 1t on the top of the cork,
letting it run down the cork to the
penwiper. turning the cork round and
round so that it is nearly covered with
sealing wax. The cork, covered with
sealing wax, forms the handle. For
the top round of the penwiper pick out
a specially nice piece Of kid and seal
lop 1t all around the edge, or take a
bit of bright cloth to match one of tine
sealing wax c0lOrs.

MANY ARE LIKE OLD SMASH
In Fact, the Majority Of Mankind
Would Find Loafing to Be
an lawful Grind"

"Ive farmed for 81 years." said
time at grooming steers and coaxing
tardy corn. I'm calloused now on
hoof and hand and lame in back and
mind; I'm weary of my square Of
land and this eternal grind. It's har-
row, harness, haul and hitch, it's ham,
mer, hoe and hay; it's pillow, and pull,
and pack and pitch, it's pail, and
plod, and pray! I've earned my time
on Easy street. my day on beds of
down, so soon I'll turn my weary feet
toward softer times In town.
SO Siwash sold his ancient land,
its stable, stock and sod, and banked
in cash, l understand, fair and
tempting wad. He settled in cozy
shack with not tap to do, except to
sally forth and back, and smoke
pipe or two. He gets his mail at ten
O'Clock, ut one, and three, and five,
and drones about the price of stock,
of honey in the hive. He stops in at
the blacksmith shop, the lumber yard
and store, to tell the village clerk, or
cop, about the days of yore!
THAT was the life!" he tells them
all. "'Twas busy, full and free; twas
pep and go both spring and fall-it
was the life for me! There's nothing
like the farm, l swear, the pumpkins
and the pens, the kicking colts and
brindle mare, the meadows and the
hens! Search this old globe from head
to heel no better job you'll tind-but
this old aimless loafing deal is sure an
awful grind ~. Z. Tufft, In Farm

SoIomon's MAGIC Carpet.

The story Of Prince Ahmed tells
how the magic carpet of Tangu would
transport any one who sat on 1t to the
place he wished to reach.
Its counterpart appears in the
Koran. King Solomon, 1t is told, had
a carpet with the same magic quality.
II was made of green silk and on it
was placed his throne when he wished
to travel. Spirits stood on the left
hand Of the king, and on his right
stood men and women. Then Solomon
told the wind where he wished to 60,
and Immediately the carpet rose into
the air with all who stood upon 1t,
and Travelled swiftly to its destination,
while birds with outstretched wings
flew overhead to screen the royal
presence from the sun.

TO build and equip a memorial library
at the University have exceeded the
most optimistic hopes OF those back
Of the undertaking. By the time the
campaign at Newark has been COM
pleted all OF them feel assured the
cash in hand. together with the
promised contributions, VIII make a
total that will be far beyond any
thing they had hoped for at the be-
ginning.
At the meeting last night in New
ark of the campaign workers the
total subscriptions reported amount
ed to s21,50O. The Women's Col
lege came to the fore with a report
that that branch OF the University
had made a one hundred per cent.
subscription. At Delaware College,
the mems branch, the seniors, sopho-
mores and juniors reported that each
class had subscribed one hundred
per cent. The men of the rehabili-
tation division who have pledged
themselves for $4,000 announced
they have now secured more than
one half OF that sum.
The campaigners working among
the residents OF Newark Will con-
tinue their canvass until they have
secured a subscription from nearly
every resident OF the town. This
they expect to do within a day or
two and they will continue to hold
meetings nightly until the canvass
Is completed. At Delaware College
