NO USE FOR DOCTOR IN 50 YEARs

In Milford Neck there resides man
who is probably one of the most ro-
bust and healthy men that ever lived
in Delaware. On December 9th, 1872,
there was born unto John Wesley Kir-
by and wife, then residing in Milford
Neck, their youngest son, Frisby K1r-
by, who resides on the old homestead
and is well known for his success in
farming and especially in raising wild
ducks under domestic conditions.
Frisby Kirby as child was healthy
and robust and has continued to en-
joy this especial physical blessing up
to the present day. He, as boy, fol-
lowed trapping and cunning on the
marshes along the Delaware Bay,
where he often experienced the ice
cold wettings which so often come to
hunters and trappers-the clothes
freezing before warmth and shelter
could be gained. Yet this seemed new
er to have caused him any serious
trouble. For fifty years-shOuld he
live until December 9Th and not have
to break the recOrd-he has never
had to call for, or had medical as
sistance or treatment. This is a rec
ord seldom equalled by the human in
dividual, either man or woman. Mr..
Kirby, never had an ounce of surplus
fat to carry-but has been of average
weight and above the average height.
With excellent health and plenty of
work to employ his attention in the
management of his farm, he has led
a contented life, and looks and feels
at fifty years as if he was in the
meredin of life. Certainly Delaware
can boast of excellent health condi-
tions, even though Mr.. Kirby may be
an exception in escaping personal in
jury or illness during an active life
time. Delaware is a good old state to
live Uneven if unlimited wealth is
not the experience of all the people.

ter tuppence to life.
The year 1913 was magnificent.
It was deliciously thrilling and
emotional year. A terrific and
stupendous year. Many well-known
people died.
1t was naturally year of strong
partisanship. A year of violent feel
ings violently expressed; and amidst
them, and because of them, Sabre
found with new certainty that he
had no violent feelings.
1t much affected his relations with
those nearest to him-with Mabel,
with Mr.. Fortune, ands-%ith Twyn-
ing. In those months, and in the
months following, the year changing
and advancing in equal excitemeptS
and strong opinions through winter
into spring, he found himself increas-
inc.y out of favor at-The Precincts
>and increasingly estranged in his
home.
Like two living in two empty
houses; empty this end; empty that
end. More frequently, for these
arrangements, appealed to him the
places of his refuge; the room of his
mind, that private chamber wherein,
retired, he assembled the parts of his
puzzles; that familiar garment in
which, invested, he sat among the
fraternity of his thoughts; the even
ings with Young Perch and old Mrs.
Perch; the evenings with Mr.. Far
gus.
Most strongly of all called another
refuge; and this, because it called
so strongly, he kept locked. Mona.
II
He said one day, "You see, there's
this, Mona. Lies got one. We're
in the thing. All the time you've
got to go on. You can't go back one
single second. What you've done,
you've done. 1t may take only q
minute in the doing, or in the saying,
but it's done, or said, for all your
life, perhaps for the whole of some
one else's life as well. That's ter
rifle, Mona.
There's right and wrong, Mona.
Nothing else in between. No
compromise. No way of getting
round them or over them. a You must
be either one thing or the other.
Once we took a step towards wrong,
there it is forever, and all its horrible
things with it-deceit, concealment,
falsehood, subterfuge, pretense: vile
and beastly things like that. l
couldn't endure them; and much
less could endure thinking | had
