Ho Calls Mrs Snowball a Model Hen
ond clucks to find herself famous
This ben has appeared iu Wilmington
and is the property of a 14-year-old
Loy Lilbourne Martin But she Is not
a native of Delaatvre No she thanks
her feathers she was born at Bynum
Md and th is good old Hartford coun-
ty adds another gem to the diadem of
the state that made good eating fa-
mous Though black as a colored poli-
tician she rejoices in the name of
Snowball and as such will go down tn
history
For generations Maryland has been
famous for her chickens and whether
they were fried a la Maryland or were
Inid to rest In the old-fashioned pie
they have served their country well
and have left pleasant memories be-
hind them It Is all the more gratify-
ing to record that out of the heart of
the fried-chicken belt has come this
phenomenal hen
According to the records she not
only lays two eggs a day but some-
times varies it by contributing three
All are perfectly fresh and suitable
for family use If she can keep up
her record for a year this will mean
730 eggs with a lew extra for Christ-
mas and the Fourth of July If all the
eggs grow up into chickens Mrs
Snowball would soon have enough de-
scendants to cluck around the world
She deserves a medal from Secretary
Wilson and a cablegram from Col
Roosevelt for her efforts to prevent
race suicide
Mrs Snowball Is a model hen She
never worries about the fashions In
feathers sho is not forever running
off to some barnyard by the sea or
chicken house in the mountains she
does not try to shine at bridge or out-
scratch her neighbors Sbe stays at
home looks after Mr Snowball and
the children and attends strictly to
business Wherefore will she be re-
membered wherever the egg is held In
honor and the chicken in esteem
WSHINGTON— For 20 years James
Wilson secretary of agriculture
has been sounding the praises of the
American hen Ho has shown by sta-
tistics pictures reports omelets soft-
boiled eggs and spring chickens that
the American hen beats the world
Sho is not the possessor of great per-
sonal beauty she does not aspire to
bo a butterfly of fashion but Is a very
fine representative of the housewife
type of chicken If fine feathers made
fine birds she would not be In It For
the poacock Is a dazzler and the roos-
ter struts with an air that cannot be
imitated by bis more modest compan-
ion who does the housework and
scratches around for the children But
the hen by keeping steadily at work
and doing the best she can has been
enabled to enrich this country by more
good dollars than all the sliver mines
of the we6t and all the gold of the
Klondike Statistics show that fn a
single generation the American hen
lays eggs enough to make the Atlan-
tic ocean one vast omelet and Oil the
Pacific with scrambled eggs Placed
on top of onb another they would
make a stack 40000 times as tall as
the Washington monument and almost
as high as the price of beef
All this has been done by the one
egg a day hen But along with the
airships and the 26000-ton battleships
the two-egg hen has arrived No she
was not produced by Luther Burbank
by grafting a Leghorn chicken onto a
roe herring She is Just a plain ordi-
nary hen who resolved to do her best
Really Is a Jag in
THE department of agriculture has
come along with some good news for
those citizens In -southern Indiana who
when arrested last fall for conducting
'blind tigers" set up as a defense
that they had become Intoxicated from
eating watermelons The department
has not yet analyzed the Indiana
brand of melons but it asserts that
there is a “jag” la the Georgia mel-
ons Of course 1 Is carefully concealed
and much care and labor is required
- to extract It but it is there Just the
same The department has proved this
beyond doubt Out of 100 pounds of
watermelons experts In chemistry
made one-tenth of a gallon of alcohol
They also have convicted the humble
sweet potato of possessing another
spree Secretary Wilson announced
Woman Causes a
rl dressed and with an aristocratic
bearing rushed Into a Washington
bank and up to the window of the re-
ceiving teller A number or people
were standing tn line waiting to de-
posit money Tbe man nearest the
window held in his hands a large roll
of bills and before blm on tbe marble
counter lay a leather bag in which he
carried his gold coin to the bank
With a swnt glance at tbe teller
end no word of explanation to the
man waiting she made a quick grab
at tbe bag and turned hurriedly to
teave the building The man at the
-window cried "Stop!" a policeman
oame running to his assistance one
hand clutched at his pistol pocket

contains sugar” said Mr Wilson "the

potatoes sweet potatoes beets and
other vegetables The watermelon sur-
prised us We never expected It of
it The purpose Is to develop the
cheapest kind of denatured alcohol for
use as fuel
"The experiments have been made
under the directions of Dr Harvey
W WUey chief of the bureal of

to extract this alcohol In paying quan-
tities from melons but we hope to do
so from sweet potatoes
"The experiments have been made
to benefit tbe seacoast portion of the

Sweet potatoes can be grown cheaply

Big Scare in a Bank
several women in tbe long line ot
walling patrons showed signs of faint-
ing and the wildest excitement pre-
vailed Had a bank robber descended
in tbe guise of a fashionable woman?
“Put back that money!” demanded
as with one voice the banker tbe po-
liceman and all the men standing in
line at the window
"Why certainly I will” said the
woman who had caused all the excite-
ment and who by this time thorough-
ly alarmed at the cries of everyone
about her ventured an explanation
"l owe you all an apology I believe I
was here a moment ago and forgot a
pair of gloves I left In a great hurry
and must have left them here at the
window I had only a few minutes to
catch my train to Baltimore and mis-
took that gentleman's money bag for
them They are just exactly that color
you know”
Her explanation was sufficient and
smiles spread over the alarmed faces
“Good joke” voted the huge guar-
dian of the peace who breathed freely
again and sauntered away
honesty promises to be of a sensation-
al character
Collector Loeb expressed the opin-
ion that the "sleeper trunk” frauds
could no longer be carried on suc-
cessfully uuder the rules he has
adopted These provide for a new
stamp arrangement for trunks and a
limitation of the hours a trunk may
remain on the docks Instead of being
permitted to stay there long enough to
be whisked away ufter nightfall In
stead the government will stow away
the trunks tn a place safe from possi-
bility of smuggling off the docks in
the darkness An honest standard for
al steamship employes will be but-
tressed by the collector's efforts This
wll be effected through the companies
by dismissal of men guilty of abetting

veloped In which the collector com-
plained and tbe companies acted

Dr Cook Explains That Part of His
Records Are Still at Etah—
To Equip a New Expedition
London — That the preliminary ex-
amination of the records of Frederick
A Cook by the comml'tee of the uni-
versity of Copenhagen has failed to
reveal convincing proofs that he
reached the pole is a report that boa
come from high authority here
The report was made at a secret
session or the university consistory
ond is said to have provoked a llvaly
discussion As a result the conistory
requested the committee to continue
its work
Rector Torp said he hoped the work
would bo finished by the end of the
year Public sentiment once so fav-
orable to the American explorer has
turned against him and only a tew
faithful adherents now believe that
he reached the pole
Rector Professor Silomonsen said:
"The committee has not yet taken
any definite position as regards Cooks
claim A week perhaps a fortnight
may elapse before a decision is
reached"
Secretary Lonsdale knows tae
whereabouls of Dr Cook -and has con-
fided his knowledge to the commis-
sion which still observes the strict-
est secrecy as to its opinions and
Its position
Dr Cook's close friends said that
the doctor previous to dispatching his
data o Copenhagen had written in pri-
vate to Rector Torp Informing him
In the event of an adverse decision
he Dr Cook would not appeal from
the finding of the consistory
His Instrument and three docu-
ments important to his case Dr Cook
poin'ed out in his leter are still at
Etah and he thought it possible that
in view of the fact that all evidence
was not in the university' might find
a Scotch verdict of "not proven”
In such even the doctor wrote he
would fit out an expedition to go to
Greenland next summer and bring his
complete records and his instruments
back with him If the verdict of the
consistory is hostile however the ex-
pedition will no be attempted
If the consistory finds in his favo"
Dr Cook will submit his data further
his friends add to the scletiets cf
Geneva and Brussels both of which
have asked for an opportunity to ex-
amine them The records might sim-
ilarly go to London o the Royal Go-
ographloal Society which in all prob-
ability would assume tbe task of pass-
ing on them
Funds for the expedition to Green-
land should It be decided to make
one have already been pledged bv
two friends of Dr Cook who believe
in him and John B Hammond has of-
fered the use of his yacht
There was a rumor Saturday we’l
sbstantla'ed but impossible of veri-
fication that Dr Cook is now within
36 hourB of Copenhagen ready to a
pear personally before the university
consistory If his presence is desireJ
The doctor had so written Rector

EW YEAR’S DAY has
ever occupied a pecu-
liar relation to the
three hundred and sixty-five
days on which
'are etched the doings
and history of a whole
calendar year The Ro-
mans observed the day
as a public holiday and
on this day all lltiga- ’
tioo and strife were
suspended social visits
were exchanged presents were
given and received and ' feasting
throughout the empire was the or-
der ot the day The early Chris-
tians at first set themselves against
the usages of the day as observed
by the Romans until the fixing of
ChrlBtmas day on the 25th ol De-
cember and New Year’s day came
to be observed as the octave of the
Nativity and also as the Festival
of the Circumcision
The observance and spirit of the
day have not changed very greatly
in the onrush of the centuries We
might go back across the long
stretch of years between the day
we live in and tbe day when the Romans inter-
changed their social visits and their good wishes
and both gave and received their strenae and be-
tween the then and the now the identity of feel-
ing emotion and sentiment concerning this day
is readily discovered
So many sentiments crowd themselves into New
Year's day and all are mostly children in the
way in which the day appears to them and In
the simple feelings and emotions by which It is
observed Tbe greeting: “A Happy New Year!”
pushes up through the hard strata of the year and
the simple emotions which make the whole world
kin bring friend nearer to friend and melt life to-
gether into a richer affection and good will be-
comes the keynote of life on ibis day Grudges are
dropped resentments dissolved and tbe average
man with the average endowment of affection for
his fellows finds It almost Impossible to vitalize
any of his hatreds through the emotion-laden mo-
ments of New Year's day The personal life has
many ththgs to say to Itself it is at once a clos-
ing of accounts and the opening of a new career
Old things pass away and all things seem to be-
come new The things that might have been and
have not become are forgotten In the new hopes
and aspirations and ambitions which spring up In
the heart on the first day of the year
Of course nobody will ever be what tbe hopes
and faith of the day project for the Individual life

REfOtUTION

sr
TRIKE up the band here
cornea the good resolution
Let the whistles- blow
tbetr heads off let the bells
ring out let the fog
born on the lake front shatter the at-
mosphere to atoms let the similar
gladsome noises be let loose upon the
vibrant ozone even In the uttermost
corners ot our beautiful city For the
good resolution is marching forward
Only a few days more and we will
bask In its splendid presence
Like the village drum major it
cornea proudly prancing toward us
through the week Get a seat early
and avoid the crowd if you would be-
your ears open for the lofty- sounds
for It will not be long in passing
It's safe to say that if all the high
resolves that go Into effect on New
Year's day had half the endurance of
a Marathon runner the millennium
would come so fast that we'd have to
enact new speed laws to keep it from
melting the asphalt
If good resolutions were salt mac-
kerel what a universal thirst would
spread abroad!
Human experience seems to indi-
cate that progress tn any line is nec-
essarily gradual Take tbe flying ma-
chine for instance At present the
scientists engaged In the development
of this interesting device are in a po-
sition to assert that many of their
problems are already solved They
can get up into t ie air without tbo
aid of dynamite and they can coine
down again with practically no effort
Of course there are other difficulties
to be overcome such ns the tendency
on the part of the machine to select
Its own time and place for coming
down But these problems are minor
Worm Turns at Last
It was the old story The one we
have all seen repeated so uiuuy many
times Two young women entered the
car together and the tlred-louklug man
arose and proffered his seat Then
while he groped unsteadily for u strap
the usual conversation ensued
"Oh thank you sir”
"Tliink you so much "
"811 dawn dear"
"No you alt dovn”

MWisear evr owe- wwr A aw
most sanguine architect of the richer fortune yet
to be will fall short of tbe ideal that controls hla
imagination But the very fact' that the day sttra
these noble impulses and floods the prospective
days with the glow of hope is In itself an assur-
ance that the year shall be rich in the gifts and
the good will of the gods
Another year! another year!
The increasing rush of time sweeps on!
Whelm’d In its surges disappear
Man s hopes and fears— forever gonet
Oh no! forbear that Idle tale!
The hour demands another strain
Demands high thoughts that cannot quail
And strength to conquer and retain
'TIs midnight— from the dark blue aky
The stars which now look down on eartl
Have seen ten thousand centuries fly
And given to countless changes birth
' Rhine on! shine on! With you I tread
The march of ages orbs of light!
A lust eclipse o'er you may spread—
To me to me there comes no nlghtl
The sentiment that phrases Itself 'in the quite
depressing words:
The world Is very evil
The times are wearing late
is hardly In tune with the modern spirit when
life is thought of as a corporate business and this

and doubtless tbe answer is in Bhe
book somewhere if they can only find
It
The practice of resolving presents
a similar aspect it is not entirely
perfect at present But considering
tbe few years since Adam inaugurated
the outdoor sleeping fad and became
grandpa to the human race it is not
surprising that some details are still
to be worthed out The forming of the
resolution lias been beautifully work-
ed out till almost any one tbe merest
novice can resolve The date too
has been firmly fixed as on the first
of January The chief difficulty that
still remains has to do with keeping
tbe resolution once it is made Some-
thing like keeping - your aeroplane
right side up once you have estab-
lished a neighborly relation with tbe
stars
Probably Beveral years will elapse
before tbe custom of resolving
reaches perfection and in the mean-
time it might be well to adopt a
makeshift for the present unattain-
able It would seem as If the difficulty
might be minimized by more attention
to the subjects taken for resolving
purposes it is well to use care in se-
lecting our resolutions and because
of the proximity of January X a few
suggestions may nut be out of place
For a young woman — Try this one
“I hereby resolve with earnestness to
no longer insist on grandma wearing
French heels" There are several ad
vnntageqi8 features to this resolution
To begin with It is humane Just
think of forcing the poor old lady to
teeter down the street with little
church Btceples under her sole leath-
er! Her silver locks bob under her
dignified black bonnet and at every
puuilul step she whispers "Ouch” Fie
“1 IuhIhI dear I'm not a bit tired”
"Neither am 1 and I'd Just as soon
stand!”
Go ahead dear and take It”
No no you tnlie It I — "
And then the tired man did what
i muny lmve wanted to see done
so mnny many times lie took it
s'mself
As bo sunk wearily but calmly back
1 his seut the smiles ot mutual benev
upon you! Shamey! Remember
grandma is not so young as she once
was and the penitential -efficiency of
a bunion is greatly enhanced by the
shoving forward of the foot as accom-
plished by the French heel Command
the old lady to do a cake-walk once
an hour around the dining room table
If you will but let her do it in com-
fortable shoes Another item in favor
of trying this resolution Is the fact
that you have probably never asked
grandma to wear any kind of shoes
she didn’t like so It should be that
much easier to keep to your resolu-
tion not to do so
For a young man — “I resolve from
this day never again to smoke a pipe
In church This sample Is highly
recommended The practice against
which you issue the edict of banish-
ment is reprehensible in the highest
degree Smoking while of course it
might be a solace to you during the
sermon could not but annoy your
neighbors and fellow worshipers The
men envy you leading to countless
domestic difficulties for them The
preacher Is unable to see whether all
the deacons are awake or not by the
haze from your pipe Moreover Just
sb a distinguished statesman once of-
ficially declared that the odor of
cigarettes annoyed him there are
those to whom the smell of a pipe Is
a nuisance and the offertory collector
might be one of these Besides you
would probably be thrown out or ar-
rested or something
For men who ride much tn street
cares “henceforth 1 will not mind tbe
feathers” This is one requiring con-
siderable care — but If strictly adhered
to will be found of great assistance in
your dally life When depending from
a strap and resting your toes on some
neighbor’s a long stiff quill suddenly
Jabs you in the nose giving to that fea-
ture tbe rich red that which another
clasa of resolvlsts have already ac-
quired do not release your temper
Smile and pretend you like It Oft-
times you can make yourself believe
It after due practice of course But
the principal advantage to be cited in
this resolution’ favor Is that “you
might just as well” So lon as the
fashion remains the same you will
have your dally communion with the
tail feathers of an ostrich or of a
rooster and If you resolve not to mind
how much' more placid tbe temper!
For any one who does not raise
chickens— "I hereby resolve and de-
termine not to eat any more strictly
fresh eggs for several weeks to
come” This is in some respects the
prize resolution Its advantages are
many but all the others are over-
shadowed by this one— you can't get
any to eat
In spite of ull the teacher may do
the pupil will not learn unless be
himself studies You cannot make
successful use ot these sample resolu-
tions without effort on your part But
you should find one among them
which can be kept with the minimum
of struggle If you have no choice or
you are skeptical as to your ability
try the last one
olence on tbe two faces froze Into out-
raged dignity
"Such impertinence!" snapped one
"How Insulting!” huffed the other
But on the faces of a score of pas-
sengers was reflected more plainly
than words:
"More power to you old boy"
The Federal Constitution
It is a fact thAt there was a tre-
mendous and most bitter opposition
to tbe adoption ot tbe present Federal
Constitution both among the members
t SIP TMUr
modern spirit takes account of Its own enlarged and
enlarging kingdom j
Not the most credulous and believing prophet a
generation ago could have forecast the world we
know and are perfectly at home with to-day Bui-
wer Lytton in his short book “The Coming Race”
endeavored to tell the story and achievement of
mankind In the day that wag shortly to be but his
seeming impossible world has been more than re-
alized in our own day The half has not been told
The great note of the day is the large grasp human
life possesses over its own career and destiny the
growing confidence that this old yet ever renewing
world is solving its own problems and under the
guiding of that Providence which Pope’s well-known
lines so beautifully express
V
All nature is but art unknown to thee
All chance direction which thou canBt not see
All discord hnrmony not understood
All partial evil universal gopd
is working for the day of a perfectly ordered and
perfectly adjusted civilization The greater power
man is accumulating and employing over his own
bodily lire his mastery of the secrets of life which
have been hid from the foundation of the world the
realization that man himself is his own providence '
in a vastly larger degree than hitherto be has
dreamed of end that the "greater things" the great-
est of all Teachers foretold ages ago that he should
be endowed with competence to do
— these he Is doing in this very
day with a miraculous confidence
and a mighty faith He has discov-
ered that his own commission ov ir
life over the happiness and health
and the fruitage of the life that
now is as well as of that Which Is
to come Is a vastly larger commis-
sion than the world hitherto has
dreamed of He is finding out that
Providence is a partnership and
that no man may be a sleeping
partner in the business of living
without the penalty of losing the
very thing that life Ib— a world of
potencies converted into achieve-
ment This is the note" surely as civi-
lization faces tbe year 1910— the
note of competency the sense of
added powers to life the feeling
that the greater things are coming
on the earth and that man is us-
ing the key to unlock the treasure-
house ot bis own life with a sure-
ness and a wisdom that give prom-
ise of a vastly better richer Juster
universe than he has yet known
Another note of our time is the
fact that life mirrors itself in such
a wonderful way and the things
and forces that make for the bet-
ter day to be are known and read
of all men We live in the open
and no man may become champion
of any cause and keep the world In
Ignorance of the character of the
cause and the nature of bis cham-
pionship No man to-day may hide
his light under a bushel It Is a
tell tale world and more than any
past time the world to-day has a
juster sense of values and knows
both the things that are saving It
and the things also that threaten
and endanger it Public service
was never so responsible as it is
to-day because civilization never
had the almost miraculous power
of analyzing and testing the value
of public service as in this present
year Public life Is an open book
and the most impossible of all im-
possible things to-day is that any
national or international movement
should be misunderstood or misin-
terpreted b tbe world’B best mind
And what is true of publle move-
ments is true of public men No
public man can deceive his constit-
uents to-day for biB constituents
are the world And the strong man
today is tbe man who frankly reo-
ognlzes this
