unrequited Love Causes Suicide.

A recent dispatch from Middletown,
Va, says that while walking along a n
unused road through strip of woods
near that place about dark Saturday
night Miss Eva Ash stumbled across
the body of an unknown dead man
lying with the face upturned and out
stretched hands, and was badly de-
composed. Nearby was pistol. The
remains were removed to the under
taking establishment Of Joseph Rink
er, at Middletown, and an examina-
ton showed a pistol wound through
the mouth and through the heart.
Two letters were found in his pocket,
one addressed to Rev. DR.. A. G. Hop
kins, pastor of the Presbyterian church
at Charlestown, W. Va, which dis
closed the suicides name to be Geo.
J. Weeks, and another to his mother,
giving the motive for his act.
Unrequited affection for young
lady with whom Weeks worked in a
store in Charlestown was given as the
reason for the act. She had been dis
charged from the store, and Weeks
also resigned his position. He went
to his home several weeks ago, and,
it is stated, he received a letter from
the young lady refusing his offer Of
marriage. He became respondent,
and on December 9Th entered the store
of John Cadwallader at Vaucluse, and
wrote the two letters found on his
dead body. 1t is thought he then
went to the woods and fired the fatal
shots. He had been missing since
then. The dead man was Of excellent
standing He was about forty years
of age, and leaves mother and one
sister.

CHRISTMAS.

The sweetest holiday of all the year
is nearly here. No doubling agnostic,
no cold blooded scientific reasoner,
can explain away the fact that the
day on which the era of peace on
earth, good will to men, was ushered
in is the dearest of all daysto the whole
of christendom, and each year sees
wider worship of the Christ who was
born on Christmas day nineteen hun
drsd years ago. Its influence in these
centuries has been great upon the ma
tons, but still greater is its influence
in the individual life. From the lit
tie child to the world-weary old man
there are few persons who desire to
resist the admonition of the angel
band to let peace prevail with good
will toward men.
But the greatest happiness that can
come at Christmas time is to make
others happy. 1t does not take cost
ly gifts for this-only unsel6sh sweet
ness of spirit, with the real charity
that is love. Let us share with 9TH
ers our own good things and so get
double enjoyment. There are some to
whom triaes become great things
when love inspires the gift. Let
those who have plenty share with
Gods poor who have little. Let those
who have little divide with him who
has less. With unselfshness and
charity and good will, let MS all make
others glad at this holiday season, and
then we shall every one of us have a
merry Christmas and happy new
year. Let us, too, lay aside old
grudges, forget old feuds, end old
quarrels, heal old wounds, and cause
peace on or share of the earth and
good will among oar fellowmen. As
old Tusser said many years ago,
Al Christmas play and make good cheer,
For Christmas comes but once year.

A Sure Cure For Group.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS CONSTANT USE

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS CONSTANT USE
WITHOUT A FAILURE.
The first indication of Group is
hoarseness, and in a child subject to
that disease it may be taken as a sure
sign of the approach of an attack.
Following this hoarseness is a peculiar
rough cough. If Chamberlain Cough
Remedy is given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, it will prevent
the attack. 1t is used in many thous-
ands of homes in this broad land and
never disappoints the anxious moth
ers. We have yet to learn of single
instance in which it has not proved
efectual. No other preparation can
show such a record-twenty-6v e
wears constant use without failure.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they cannot

imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored 10 its normal con-

In Memory Of George washington.

In accordance with recommends
ton of the Grand Lodge of West Vir-
ginia, Mt. Nebo Lodge, No. 81, A, F.
& A. NJ, of Shepherdstown, held a
public meeting in its lodge-room last
Thursday night in commsmoration of
the hundredth anniversary of the!death
of George Washington. A very in
teresting programme was carried out.
J. S. Fleming, the oldest member of
Mt. Nebo Lodge, presided, at the re-
quest of Worshipful Master Turner.
Prayer was offered by Rev. DR.. Chas.
Ghiselin. John G. Unseld read Wash
ington's Masonic record, 81. L. Snyder
read the story of the last illness and
death Of Washington, while Prof. A. G..
Kimler gave extracts from the fare
we'll address. The male quartette
Gang a couple of selections, making its
first appearance in public. Illness
prevented Rev. A. A. P. Neel from de-
livering the address for which he had
been booked. The room, which was
very artistically draped with flags in
borders of black, was filled with Ma
sons and their friends, including a
number of ladies. The exercises were
impressive and edfying.

The celebration of Washington g an
niversary recalls the fact that Mt.
Nsbo Lodge of Shepherdstown pos
sesses one of the most valuable Mason
ic relics in this countryside apron
presented to General Washington by
Marquis De Lafayette. There is no
question as to the genuineuess of this
relic, as critical investigation has
shown it to be just what is claimed
for it. The late Col. A. R Boteler, of
Shepherdstown, who when he was a
boy saw Lafayette in Baltimore, and
whose father, DR.. Henry Boteler, was
Royal Arch Mason and personally
acquainted with Lafayette, gave an
authentic history of the precious relic.
The apron was made in France and
sent to this country. 1t was presented
by Lafayette to General Washington,
and was worn by the General when in
lodge up to the time of his death.
This gift of affection after the death of
Gen. Washington came into the GUS
tody of Charles, the youngest brother
of the deceased General, who owned
large and valuable land estates in JEFF
ferson county, Virginia (now West
Virginia.. Charlestown, now the coun-
ty seat of Jefferson, was laid out upon
the lands of Charles Washington and
took its name from him. His residence
was only a short distance in the
country. The Washington Masonic
apron remained in the possession of
the family until sometime after
Charles's death. Mr.. George Wash
ington Hammond. who was reared
in Shepherdstown, by Mr.. Lane, mer-
chant, and who was made Mason
here in the year 1915, married a
daughter of Charles Washington, and
thus through his wife, niece of Gen.
Washington, became the owner of the
prom. By Mr.. Hammond the relic
was presented to Mount Nebo Lodge
No. 81.
1t is believed that this apron is the
one that was worn at the laying of the
cornerstone of the Capitol at Wash
ington and also at the Washington
monument. Since it has been owned
by Mt. Nebo Lodge it has been used
a number of times at important Ma
sonic events, in various sections Of the
country. In 1892 Mr.. Wyncoop Lemen
took it to Minnesota, where it was
used by the Grand Lodge. The breth-
rem there had especially made for it
costly and handsome oak case, beau
tifully carved with Masonic emblems,
with plate-glass front, in which it now
reposes.
The apron was taken to Washing
ton City last week, at the special re-
quest of Chief Marshal Robert White,
and was the object of admiration from
thousands of prominent Masons, who
had gathered there to participate in
the George Washington celebration.
Mr.. Lemen. who is one of Mt. Nebo' s
most worthy members, was again its
custodian.
