CLOSING SCHOOLS

The year of work in the schools
and colleges of Delaware draws to
its close. In some it is already fin
ished. The young folks set out last
September ON a voyage of discovery
over the broad sea of knowledge.
What rich or other fruitage have
they brought back? Do they come
into port with all sails flying, and
the ship of experience well freighted
with knowledge? Or have they
idled away their time in fieeting
pleasures, while others gathered the
prizes of this commerce with wis
dom?
If the year of study has been well
spent, the youngster is ready to
make the next voyage toward the
goal of his hopes. If he has dragged
behind, the loss may be permanent.
1t is far easier to learn the lessons
as they come from day to day, than
to catch up when you get we'll be-
hind.
1t is one of the tragedies of life at
this moment, that in some states a
large part of the schools, owing to
financial difficulties, have had to
close early, and some never opened
at all. What can the American peo-
pie be thinking of, to allow so many
young folks to grow up with only
meager education? The youth who
never learns to handle the tools of
knowledge will be but poor builder
of his cOuntry's future.
The closing day in school is a
grand occasion in many places. The !
Old-time school committee used to [
examine the pupils at this time, {
while admiring parents gloried in
the amazing progress made by their 2
young hopefuls. II
1t is we'll to have such honors f
given to successful students. It Ii
spurs the laggards and sluggards on. d
When you prove to youngster that h
the world frOwns on a youth who is "
Indifferent about learning, you arouse
he power of ambition. That Gre m
ties energy greater than any force IL
'ou can produce with steam or cleo CO
richly. "

AMUSING HORSE TRADE

A very amusing horse trade was
pulled off here recently, indicating
that Barnum was really right and
that the Old-time horse swappers
are still here and about.
For some time during April Of
each year the Gazette has carried a
story telling of an elderly mare
owned by C. S. Shartzer, feed deal
er, who lives in West Leitchfield
The mare, Daisy" was SO years old
this spring.
Last winter Mr.. Shartzer decided
to dispose of her. With many re-
grets, he disposed Of the aged animal
for SO after she had served him
faithfully for more than three dec
AIDES.
Daisy" never having been over
worked and kept in fine fettle by her
original owner, looked like a good
buy to any one not acquainted with
her age. The farmer buying her saw
an opportunity to make a profit in
offering DAISY" for sale. He sue
ceeded in getting $40 in cash and a
young mule in a trade with a lady
who soon discovered that her newly |
acquired buggy horse had the heaves |
and was getting on in years, a fact |
that the farmer overlooked when he
said she was 10 years old, which
was true, but she was also three
times ten.
The farmer, threatened with a
suit, traded back with the lady and
the last that was heard of Daisy
was that she was headed for
where she was not so
we'll known.

THE PICNIC SEASON

The American people are strong on
picnics. Wherever you go, you see
the people gathered along the roads
and in the groves of trees, munching
their sandwiches, consuming vast
quantities of hard boiled eggs, warm
ing up the coffee over the smoky
fire. They put in large amounts of
labor Juggling picnic baskets to in
accessible spots, but they all love it.
Why is it that cold food, which
you would reject with consumely at
home, is tasted like nectar from the
gods, if eaten beside a bubbling
stream? Perhaps one reason for the
women folks is that there are no
dishes to wash. The grand gesture
of disposing of the mess in one bunch
saves labor for them, weary of the
eternal round at the kitchen sink.
The imagination plays its part. |
Also the stimulus of fresh air. Ma
lures soft breezes charm away our
melancholy, her pure air sOOthes the
tired nerves, and the human body
rebounds like a rubber ball thrown
awainst a wall. This elasticity of
spirits, let loose by the inspirations
of natural beauty, makes plain food
taste like a feast.
Under the inspiration of picnics,
people do things ordinarily regarded
as impossible. The men who are
scarcely able to tap a little dust out {
If the rug at house-cleaning sudden i

itunts at the picnic ball game. They t

HOW THEY SOLD PEACHES

A demonstration of what adVertis-
ing can do has just been given by
the California canning peach stabi-
lization committee. They have been
promoting a sale of canned peaches,
advertising through a great number
of stores. The first week of the cam
paign showed that the sales of these
goods in many thousands of stores
exceeded the sales in the similar
week Of 1885, by 24S per cent.
When you tell people by advertise
ing that there is a real bargain in
something. the folks are about as
sure to notice and act on it as if you
told them where they could pick up
some money in the road.

ANY TOWN CAN BE A GOOD TOWN

We hear about good towns and
poor towns, towns that are favorable
places to live in, and others that are
not so good. What is the difference?
About the only difference is in the
spirit of the people. You can equip
a town with fine buildings, beautiful
streets and parks, and all that. If
there is no life in the people, if they
just sit down and wait for other
folks to do things, the town is on the
down-grade. You can take a very
poor town as respects wealth, and
it may be a good town because it is
going ahead. If its folks are filled
with determination to make it a bet
ter town, it will have so much life
and be so receptive to new ideas,
that it will be a favorable place for
business enterprise, or as home for
families. 1t is not what town has,
but what it is determined to do that
counts.

By the Associated Press.
A positive conviction" that the re-
suit Of the war in Spain will prove a
turning point Of European policy" and
affect the Americas as well, was ex-
pressed yesterday by DR.. Fernando de
los Rios, Spanish Ambassador.
Speaking before the National Wom-
ems Press Club, the Ambassador as
serted:
THE fate of Europe depends at this
moment on the result OF the struggle
in Spain-either liberty and democracy
or new despotism."
He reminded that for centuries the
people of the South American coun-
tries were under the direction of Spain,
and he predicted they would suffer
from the social and political pressure
of a new despotism" to an extent that
would be felt in the United States.
Direct Questions Answered.
A former president of the University
of Madrid, the Spanish envoy invited
questions and made his remarks in
direct answer to the questions put
to him.
Asked question concerning the in
