bathing costumes, many OF them oi-
zarre beyond words, and others dainty
enough for the wearing OF any belle.
The fashion of dawdling on the beach
in bathing clothes, of lolling on the
sands for hours, with no idea of enter
ing the water, reminds one of gay Trou-
vile or Dieppe, where the bath dress IS
only an excuse for an exhibition OF the
form and not at all for use.
The girl who prepares herself for a
genuine tussle with the waves is quite
a different creature from this fluttering
butterfly, who poses for admiration.
She equips herself as for battle, with
no fly-away toggery and not a useless
ornament.
Her bathing frock is tailormade,
though it may be of silk, mohair, era
venette or flannel.
There is nothing risque in its design,
or suggestive in any way. 1t is built

A Silver Wedding.

Mr. and Mrs. Jacob D. Derr cele-
brated their silver wedding at their
home near Uvilla last Monday. In
response to invitations, fifty or sixty
of their friends gathered at their hos
pitable home, and spent a day that
will long be remembered for the pleas
ure it afforded. Mr.. and Mrs. Derr
received their guests, and it was diff
cult to believe that so youthful look
Ing a couple had weathered the viclssl-
tudes of twenty-five years of married
life. But it was even so, and eleven
sons and daughters were present as
additional evidence of matrimonial
prosperity, and the bride and groom
were actually grandparents. An ele-
CANT dinner was served during the day
with lavish abundance, attesting Mrs.
Derr's skill in the culinary depart
ment. The serving of so splendid a
meal was no small task, but the ener-
getic young ladies of the household
were equal to the emergency. Charlie
Moore was the last to leave the we'll
provided table, with Mrs. Nichols a
few seconds earlier. a considerable
number of useful and ornamental artl-
cles were received as presents by Mr..
and Mrs. Derr, some of them pretty
and valuable.
Mr.. and Mrs. Derr were married at
Walkersville, Frederick county, Md,
twenty-five years ago. They moved to
this county four years later, where
they have lived ever since, and where
Mr. Derr has followed the business OF
barn builder. They are among the
most highly respected people in the
community in which they live, and are
worthy of the esteem in which they
are held. Their hospitality on Mon
dav was of the sort that makes one
glad to be a partaker thereof. Those
who were present had a thoroughly
enjoyable day in every respect, and
the writer will long cherish it as a
bright spot in the sometimes dull rou-
tine of life. 1t was good to be there.

Chicken Thief Jailed.

The REGISTER last week told how
the chicken-bouse. of Mr.. Michael Fitz-
gerald had been broken into and rob-
bed of fine game rooster and four
game hens, and it was remarked that
the owner would make it warm for the
thief if he found him. The prophecy
has been verified. A few days after
the robbery Mr.. Nelson Wilson found
the head and feet of several chickens
along the railroad. He turned over
the remains to Mr.. Fitzgerald, who
recognized the head of his once def
ant rooster and the peculiarly marked
feet of his hens. They were wrapped
in piece of calico. Mr. Fitzgerald
ascertained that the calico was kept in
stock by Mr.. Hodges, and that a piece
of it had been bought by a well-known
colored girl named Julia Woods. He
interviewed Miss Woods, who stated
that the chickens had been brought to
her house by Burt Jackson, a cOlOred
fellow who has been hanging around
Shepherdstown for year or two. Mr..
jackson was arrested and given a trial
before Magistrate D. S. Rentch. He
strenuously denied being guilty Of such
a wicked thing as stealing chickens,
but he was found guilty and sentenced
to thirty days in the county jail, with
the provision that he leave the State
when his tine is out. Now that Mr..
Jackson is away from town, it may be
that there will be less chicken stealing
hereabouts, for it was develop ed at the
trial that he was an extensive puryey-
or of poultry, sometimes having chick
ems by the bagful. But, doubtless
there are others also.

the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due 10 any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrdpof Figs, prompt
" removes. That IS why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed 50 highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due TO the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. tits therefore

fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all rep

If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended 10 the most slsillful
physicians, but If in need Of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informede everywhere, Syrupof

used and gives most general satisfaction

In Opposition,

The local editor of daily paper
IN an interior town had been having
great fun with the gas company. by
poklng the usual gags and Jokes of
the funny man at it and its methods
with consumers. AT tue same time
IN the town was an economical coun.
Gil that refused to take gas for the
streets on moonlight nights, thus cut
ting down the company's receipts.
One day, after particularly amusing
roasting, the editor came into the
local room and tapped the humorist
on the shoulder.
Your jokes are very good" he
said kindly, "but you must let up on
the gas company"
What's that for p asked the
funny man. "The gas company is
about all that you have left me to
monkey with"
That's all right" replied the
editor. "Its enough to know that
you must let up without asking why"
The humorist was disappointed, for
he had some more good things in his
mind to fire at the common enemy.
AT last his face frightened.

"y you won't object to my having
fling at the moon ?"
At the moon ?" queried the
editor, mystifed.
Yes, the moon. Don't you see ?"
Oh, yes, the moon, the moon

Made to Order Cities.

The history of Middlesboro, KY,
proves that cities grow; they are not
made to order strictly. The site was
selected because of the beauty of the
spot and the scenery around. 1t was
located by money, no thought being
given to the natural causes that de-
eide locations and determine growth.
The ground was secured and city
ordained by its projectors. Lots on
the main street were marked down,
and some sold at $500 front foot.
A street railway was laid and operated
for awhile. Iron, steel and other
works that cost millions were built.
A hotel was erected for $25o,ooo. In
all $40, 900 was laid out by the
stockholders in the vain design OF
building a city. And now the factory
works are idle and rusting. Rats alone
run the big hotel. The $500 a foot
lots are fronted by grass grown streets.
The weeds run riot over the street
railway, and Ichabod is inscribed upon
Middlesboro. Cities are not made
altogether, though human agencies
and energies go long way in shaping
their destinies and increasing the
prosperity of the dwellers therein

sleeping in bathtub. She is Mrs.
Young, Of Morehead, KY, who has
had bullet located in her body by
means of the Roentgen rays and re-
moved by the surgeons.
From lying in bed previous to the
operation her body became so sore
and tender that she could not endure
touching even the softest substance.
The doctors at the hospital decided
to build a novel water bed for her to
lie upon.
The bathtub was filled with tepid
water and connected with two pipes,
one for receiving a fresh supply of
water and the other for the discharge.
Then a band of linen upon which was
placed pillow of down was laid upon
the top of the water.
Another band of linen ran across
the feet, Mrs. Young was placed upon
this novel bed and rested quietly. In
this position she eats and sleeps while
the stream of tempered water con-
stantly flows through the tub,-New
