to sign plain receipts which afterwart
turned out to be notes for large sums

40 years old.

An eleven-year-old son of Rev.

Presbyterian Church of Hagerstown,
in attempting to jump on car that
was being shifted to side track at

SPRUNG A LEAK.-Last Monday
night the canal boat VIM. o. Bowser,
belonging to Mr.. Beard, of William
sport, Md, sprung leak ON the one
mile level, opposite Shepherdstown,
and as the boat was loaded with lime
the effects of the leak were disastrous.
The lime swelled and bursted the
boat and also burned it slightly. The
water was drawn from the level
and a force of hands We're set to work
to empty the boat of the lime, which
was quickly done. Navigation was
interrupted day or so.
A NEW GAME.-A few days ago a
gentleman who was in such hard luck
that he was obliged to walk when he
travelled over the country came to
Shepherdstown, and he scooped in
enough cash to ride away in a Pull
man car. He first approached a SYM
pathetic-looking employee of the
cement mill near town, and told of
woe about himself and how he had
been reduced from affluence to power
ty. He had preserved amidst all his
vicissitudes, however, one treasured
article, and he produced a heavy,
plain gold ring, stamped "1Sk," with
secret society mark on it. The ring
was worth SIS, but he would sell it
for So. The gentleman above refer
red to offered 1925 for it, which was
sorrowfully accepted. The stranger
came up town, and discovered that
he had another ring, and. told the
same story. He received $3.50 for
ring No. 2, and as he still had few
rings left he managed to do quite a
good business before he left town.
The commercial value of the rings is
supposed to be about seventy-fve
cents bushel.

Many forget that the hair and scalp
need cleansing as well as the hands and
feet. Extensive use of Ayers Hair Wig
or has proven that it is the best cleansing
agent for the hair-that it prevents as well
as removes dandruff, cools and soothes
the scalp, and stimulates the hair to re-
newed growth and beauty.
