RIPPLING RHYMES.
BY Walt Mason.
MY BEAUTIFUL AUNT.

Aunt Julia was beauty,
men said, in bygone days. and
fiatterers galooty We're throw
ing her bouquets. They said
she was queenly, the fairest of
her sex; when she went by
serenely the other girls seem
ed wrecks. Wherever Julia
trotted the nosegays came her
way, and fiatterers bestowed
were praising her all day. The
poet wrote his. sonnet, all
burdened by his wreath. about
her boots and bonnet, her eye
balls and her teeth. And so she
grew up feeling she was divine
ly fair; she would not mop the
ceiling or clear the cellar stair.
And sle was high and naughty,
she would not toll or spin, or
with q swatter swatty hit flies
upon the chin. Conceited and
disdainful. she scorned the
household law. and left impress
sions painful upon her Pa and
Ma. She turned down many
suitors, her townsmen, good
and true, corn doctors, clerks
and tutors, and taxidermists,
too. Some prince would come
and wed her, she figured, in her
pride; long, long such visions
fed her, and warmed her up in
side. Alas, there came no
princes, and she'd be glad TO
wed the clerks and other ounces
who loved in years long dead.
She finds old age 20 dreary that
all it's moments hurt, and she is
sick and weary. disillusioned
skirt. My other aunts are
dingers, they were not spoiled
with praise. and as they turn
their wringers they carol joy
full lays.

HULI-wISE MAN.

Cordell Hull Is as wise . man -
ever pounded . Democratic gavel. For
many years before he was chosen ~
Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee he WA known as one of
the most aAgac cious men in Tennessee
politioa- Now Judge Hull demonstrates
hia hard. common sense by keeping
out OF Delaware until ali factions get
together and egin TO work harmo-
niously within the party that he serves.
An effort Wa made a few days ago
to induce Judge Hull to come to Will
mdnston and attend q Jackson Day
dinner. That would have been a no.
table occasion II every leader Of every
faction he'd been on the best of terms
with every other leader. Lacking such
condition. II would have been un-wise
for him TO have appeared here as the
guest OF any particular faction.
Every Evening believes that It would
| be tragedy TO Delaware Democracy TO
bring Judge Hull here and have him
/ rraternize only with one group of
politicians. Evidently Judge Hull takes
the same view that Every Evening
does. Perhaps Judge Hull has listen
ed 20 some good advice from men who
are not particularly interested in any
action, but who are vitality interested
In the welfare Of the Democra tic
party as a whole in State and Ma
ton. May the State .Chairrna r
succeed in welding all groups into ar
harmonious whole. Then invite Judge
Hull and see whether he accepts.
