DEFEAT BOOKED IN DELEWARE HOUSES FOR SUFFRAGE

Dover, March 28.—With the possibilities of the defeat of the ratification of the suffrage amendment looming large, preparations were made today by the Delaware legislature to have the ratification measure presented to both houses tomorrow morning. Arguments for and against suffrage will be heard Thursday and leaders of the anti-suffragists are working hard to have the measure acted upon by Friday afternoon. Sentiment against suffrage was crystallized today and all party lines dropped when republican and democratic legislators refused to be bound by caucuses on the suffrage question.*

LEARN TO GOSSIP.

Learn to talk about your neighbors and keep passing it on. That is, if you hear something good about somebody, tell it. Be that sort of a gossip and' you’ll sleep better at night. After all, it is not how long can we live, | but how broad. A (big soul and smqjl roll gets more out of life than a hard heart inherited to start. While you’re working to make it, don’t forget how to spend it. Spend it so the whole family is benefited. Mr. Carey Mitchell, of Remington, bought an Oldsmobile and Mr. Frank Nesius bought his an Essex. Maybe we can suit yours, too. _ > THOMPSON & KIRK.
