Knew Some English, but Not That.
A Frenchman was boasting that he
had thoroughly mastered the English
language, when he was asked to write
from dictation the following choice
specimen of our choice eccentric ver-
nacular:
Gas Hugh Hughes was hewing a
yule log from yew tree a man dressed
in garments of dark hue came up
to Hugh and said: Have you seen
my ewes? To which lie replied: IF
you will wait until I hew this yew
l will 80 with you to look for your
ewes.'"
After an attempt the Frenchman I'D
mitted his mistake. He used to mag
inc he was used to English speaking,
but he would be more careful how he
used the language in future.

the DOCTOR applied weights to the az

was unable to walk, had lost all her
strength and day by day she became
thinner. I read of cure of a similar
case by Hoods Sarsaparilla. and decided
to give it to Lillian. When she had
taken one bottle it had effected so much
good that kept on giving it to her
until she had taken three bottles. Her
appetite was then excellent and she
was well and strong. She has not used

Chief Engineer Cornell, of TIE
Chesapeake & Western. has just re-
turned from a visit as far west as
Pocahontas, W. Va. From the
Highland Recorder which seemed
to keep track Of his movements
while over there, we learn that he
was as far northwest Of Monterey
as Travellers Repose, near the
head of Greenbrier River. While
we were unable to get any definite
information from the railroad Off
Gals as to why Mr.. Cornell was SO
high up on the Greenbrier, it is
very suggestive when taken into
consideration with she fact chat the
Davis and Elkins people are sur
veying their line to that point
Railroad men, necessarily, must be
very taciturn as to their move
ments. and the Free Press is sc
much interested in the success OF
this enterprise, that even at the ex.
pense Of an item of news it woult
not be willing to betray any bust

fact already disclosed, it would no
be bad guessing to predict tha

II is truly source Of deep regret
to us, and we feel sure, to many OF

khat we have men who make their
Hhomes among us, who would sooner
be a town IN another county and
even in another state, gain advan-

The Harrisonburg Free Press
of last week, in speaking Of High
lands railroad meeting makes use
of the following:
I'VE are glad to note That the
good people Of Highland are wax
irg up to a realization OF the fact
that they have the opportunity OF
a life time to secure a trunk-hne
railroad. From all that We CAL
learn, it vii depend upon then
own action AS to whether they Sc
cure it or not. Individual and
county subscriptions are not al
that is necessary. The right Of
way question is always serious
one to railroads for more reasons
than the mere cost of it, for VIZ
have had here in Rockingham oc
casion to know it from experience
If the people of Highland want t.
secure the good vii of the railroad
people they will tender the right o
way in advance, SO as to obvlat'
annovances.
