right prices, from an elegant shirt for
so cents, to the finest all silk shirt.
We are handling this season Negli-
gee shirt that has the collars and cuffs
starched while the bosom remains
soft, and making the garment both
comfortable and slightly. Come in

story. and good one, Of ex-senator
MeCreary, Of Kentucky. That genial
statesman is pre-eminently man OF
the people. He was a great favorite
in Washington, although he knew lit
tie Of the ''lah-de-dah-ism'' Of society.
Years ago he received an invitation to
a tony dinner, accompanied by the
letters "R. s. V. p"
The letters stumped him. He in
auired OF dozen associates before he
ascertained their meaning. The in
vitation was graeiously accepted in
letter adorned with the letters IS. b.
A. N
The recipient in his turn was nom
plussed. He overhauled his diction-
ary Of phrases and initials, but could
CLEAN no information. In his despair
he appealed to friend, who asked
McCreary for an explanation.

in 1886 1t is a smoking tree and
battles all efforts at explanation. 1t
is white mulberry tree and stands
on the sidewalk in front of the resi-.
dencs Of Levi Yoder.
1t was brought from Illinois year
or two ago and is now about twelve
feet high. with bushy top and many
lateral branches. On a recent Sun
day one of the family noticed pun

limbs, and by watching IL closely pun

tree and sometimes they are several
seconds or half minute apart
They just seem to come at haphazard
from any part of the tree, and as they
ascend in the air look exactly like the
smoke from a cigarette.
Since the courisity first became gen
orally known, large crowds, both oil
town and country people, can be
seen there at any time in the day.
All doubling Thomases are soon con

people it is only looked upon as II
curiousity, and many, OF course,
make explanations OF the phenomen'

enough to their authors, but which
carry very little conviction to the
minds OF others

inst ached to kill somebody, and
when he netted the stranger into

sHEPHERDSTOWN. W. VA, FRIDAY
A SONG OF LONG AGO.

A song Of long ago;
Sing 1t lightly, sing il low.
Sing ii softly-like the lisping OF the lips we
used to know
When our baby laughter spilled
From the hearts fol ever filled
With music sweet as robin ever thrilled.
Let the fragrant summer breeze,
And the leaves of locust trees,
And the apple buds and blossoms, and the
wing OF honey bees,
All palpitate with glee.
TIL the happy harmony
Brings back each childish JOY TO you and me.
Let the eyes of fancy turn
Where the tumbled pippins burn,
Like embers in the orchard's lap Of tousled
grass and fern;
And let the wayward wind,
Still singing, plod behind
The cider press-the good old-fashioned kind!
Blend in the song the moan
OF the dove that grieves alcne.
And the wild whirr of the locust and the bum
ble's drowsy drone;
And the low of cows that call
Through the pasture bars. when all
The landscape fades away, at evenfall.
Then, far away and clear,
Through the dusky atmosphere,
Let the wailing of the kildee be the only
sound you hear.
Oh, sweet and sad and low,
AS the memory may know,
Is the glad, pathetic song Of long ago.

Endurance Of the 0dor Of Musk.

Many marvellous accounts are re-
lated in works on pharmacy and or
ganic chemistry with regard TO the
extraordinary duration OF the scent
OF musk, and the extremely small loss
OF substance, exposed to the air, has
been found TO undergo In the course
OF several months, or even years
But an instance Of this endurance OF
the musk odor has come under our
personal observation In the following
manner. In 1850, at Brussels, three
small volumes were presented to use.
They were bound I'm red cloth, aud
enclosed in a green cardboard case.
In this case very minute quantity
of musk mixture from n sacbet, was
placed in order to scent the volumes
Since the year 1850 these three little
red volumes, in their green cardboard
case, have been constantly exposed
TO the air, on the shelves OF a library,
as well as to daylight. They have
been in constant almost daily use (for
they are standard books ofrefereDce),
and they have travelled with the
writer to Ostend, TO Paris, TO Frank.
fort. to Scotland, to the south OF En-
gland, TO various seaside resort, 10
London, and many other places yet
at the present moment, after period
OF forty years, and being exposed to
many kinds OF climates, these little
books retain their odor OF musk,
which is as powerful, especially on
warm days, az 1t was in 1850 when the
volumes were received.

Making a Man CrswAsh.

When FIVE or six men get together
and begin to tell stories there is al
ways more or less lying done, es-
pecially if they are only casual &C
quaintances. Going down on the
boat from Natchez there were three
or four rings" which hung together,
and each of us told some pretty tall
stories. There was n man from
Syracuse who laid himself out for
whopper, and when the rest OF us
were through he settled back and
said:
Gentlemen, the ship that was car
rying me to India was burned of the
island of Borneo, and got away in
boat with single sailor"
when was thisfn asked a native
Mississippian. who was taking lot
of mules down the river.
"In 1858"
"Exactly-go ahead.
I'VE had neither water nor provis-
ions in the boat" said the man, and
after drifting for three days | wanted
TO draw lots to see who should die.
The sailor refused.

The TsttIer.

Tattler A vile leech, sapping the
life blood OF human happiness. a
black, greedy vulture feastiDg upon
the carrion OF society. A busy-body
who listens gleefully TO anything
harsh you may say Of your neigbbor,
either pettishly or in joke, and then
carries II magniHed and patched up
to suit himself and pours II scorch-
ing hot into the ears OF perhaps your
best friend, and after succeeding In
getting him or her TO say something
equally harsh. returns TO you laden
with his precious burden OF strife arrh
adds fuel to the smouldering IRE.
Thus, little by little this ghoul OF
human society filches the happiness
OF human friendship and develops be-
tween the kindest Of neighbors and
lest OF friends a feeling Of hatred
which should be known only to the
bosom OF demons. Are you tattlerY
Do you SOW among your neighbors
the seeds OF discord and batei IL 40
In the name OF humanity, let us beg
you TO desist.
We are all liable to err. all too apt 70
say In n moment OF sudden passion or
in n silly joke, things which nm hour
afterward, in a moment OF cool re-
fiection, we may heartily wish unsaid.
But deeper is the sin and thicker Is
the crime OF him who, taking out
weakness for bis capital, effects the
destruction Of the happiness OF bis
neigbbor IA his interest.
