Why don't we have a game of base

The boys complain that the girls are
never willing to accommodate them, ex-
cept when they say ice cream, then they
are ready from the word go.
Misses Secrist and Smith, of Hagers-
town, were in town last Monday.
Another thing they complain of is that
whenever the girls get in front of Green s
they don't exactly ask for ice cream
soda, but they stop and say they re tired.
or heave such long sigh, that there's
no getting out of asking them to go in
for soda.
Well, what's soda water made for any
way if it is not to drink, and what are
boys made for if it ism to buy some for
the girls.
But evidently good many of the boys

On Monday night light flooded the
band room all of a sudden. Wonder
was on every face and all commenced to
look around for the cause. Some thought
it was the moon shining through Clar-
ence Darby's mustache, others that it
was creased lightning from Charlie
Young's clarinet, while still others
thought that it was caused by the rapid
vibrations of Professors heel or the
rapid growth of Gene Mason s whiskers.
But the conjectures all ceased when sud-
denly the light resolved itself into ray
which remained stationary between the
alto soloist and one of those Hagerstown
girls in the doorway.
The other day while walking along
Queen St., we picked up letter. As we
could not tell whose it was or who had
written it, feminine curiosity prompted
us to read it. 1t evidently had been
written by girl in Baltimore to some
chum of hers in our town. Part of the
letter was so interesting that we can't
help but give it to the readers of THE
HERALD, knowing that they will coin
eide exactly with the writer. After the
usual preamble INDUCED in by young
ladies, the letter read as follows And
now, dear Nell, | promised you that
when got home, | would write and tell
you what pleased me most in my recent
visit to Martinsburg. Well here, Ill
tell you truly the thing that pleased
me better than anything else, was Mr..
Geo. Myers store, down by Adams Ex
press office. Really [ was surprised to
find store in that town where l could
buy so cheaply. Just think, sateens for
6, s and 10 cts, half wool challies for
12t cts, and all the Csc. challies for TIC.
Then the ribbons, laces, hosiery, gloves
and all fancy articles just as low as they
can be gotten anywhere. Calicoes and
ginghams, silks and laces, and every
thing you can think of, all are down al
most to cost. But their summer goods is
the special feature. Any one can go
there and get nice dress for less than
you can any where else. Then besides
the good quality of the goods and the
very low prices, the clerks are so ac-
commodating. Although the store was
always crowded, everything passed off
so pleasantly, and every one was given
satisfaction in their turn. 1 would adj
wise the Martinsburg people to make the
most of such a rare chance to get good
goods cheap.
The letter then branched off on to
other subjects, which W ould not interest
the reader. RUTH.
