low citizens who in 1901 elected him
Mayor of Pocomoke City. This office
with the exception of the term, held
by Edward M. Ross, and two terms
of DR.. I. T. Coston, he administered
up to the time of his death.
He has seen the town pass thru
many changes. It's improved streets,
its water system, it's lighting, its
railroads-have all come under his
view. He has weathered the storms
of conflagration, and worked to re-
cover from great devastation. He has
never shirked responsibility, and pub
lie opinion has never caused him to
swerve from his duty. He was a good
citizen, good father, a good neigh
Dor, a good friend.

Walker and Mrs. D. K. Hancock, of
Pocomoke City; and Mrs. Charles
Mason, Of Greenbackville, Va. Mrs.
VIM. S. Dix, this city, is a sister of
the deceased.
Mr.. Tull was life long member of
the NJ. E. Church, and for forty-two
years was superintendent of the Sun
day school. He was possessed of a
strong mentality, and his work along
intellectual lines did credit to a man
of far greater attainments in the way
of education. He was indeed self
educated. He was a fluent, ready,

mischief loving heart of Sammy Jays is the true spirit. It is by knowing just where certain neighbors are that sammy sometimes is able to warn them of danger when they do not suspect it is near.
 Sammy had not gone far beyond the place where Eightfoot the Deer lay when he caught sight of something moving very slowly and carefully. Sammy silently flew to the top of a tall hemlock tree where he could see better and at the same time not be seen himself. Just as he suspected, there was hunter with a terrible gun. He was stdying the ground very closely, as if following tracks, and he was headed straight toward the place where Light foot was hiding. Sammy hadn't a doubt, that the hunter was trying to steal up on Lightfoot to shoot him.
 Thief! Thief! Thief" screamed Sammy at the top of his lungs.
 Lightfoot knew what that meant. In an instant he was on his feet, looking, listening, smelling. A full minute he stood, then with a bound he was away. That hunter was after him There was no doubt about it. In his heart Light foot blessed Sammy Jay for the warn

 Certainly" answered Joan, rising hastily. Then as she turned to leave the room she added, "I hope nothing serious or unpleasant has happened"
 "No, mo-" replied Rupert, although he seemed to be laboring under same suppressed excitement. Then as though he too felt that there was something disconcerting in his behavior, he added You'll get used to my sudden depart ures. You see I'm quite intereste in raising the standard of stock-breeding so I'm always ready to help any of the neighbors when they want to purchase or dispose of their cattle. It means running around a good bit and some times on rather short notice, We'll, I'll hurry upstairs and get ready, and walked briskly away while Joan went to tell Rosanna.
 "What?" exclaimed Rosanna, "the masters afther going before he has his dinner" for to simplify housekeep- ing as well as for Sonny's benefit, din ner was a 1 o'clock affair at Hearts Desire.
 "Yes, Rosanna," replied Joan pleas antly, for she knew how distressed Ros- anna was when any one of the family did not enjoy to the full the meals she prepared. What can we get for his lunch? Of course, the rest of us will wait till o'clock; I know your meat won't be ready until then
 "Well, we'll lamented Rosanna, but even as she talked she was busy getting tempting lunch ready while Joan has tened to prepare a place at the table.
 "I can't quite understand" she whispered to herself. "I wonder" but further speculation was interrupted by Rupert's entrance.
 Next morning Joan announced to Rosana that she was going to the 'eoun- try town to do some shopping and might not be home for dinner. As she dis cussed the needs of the household, Son ny, all spic and span ill q new wash suit, made his appearance.
 "Tm going to buy a present for you, Rosanna," declared Sonny as he pulled his little pocketbOOk out of his blouse and exhibited bright new dime.
 "Shure and you've the kind heart" said Rosanna as she threw her arms about the small boy and gave him a mighty hug.
 Meanwhile Joan was gathering her notes together for Dick was at the door
