the judge. Here you are going on 40
and wasting three or four evenings a
week fooling round with lot of boys
playing with swords and guns" And
still Langdon smiled the same quiet,
quizzical smile, passed his long, slim
fingers back through the thinning crop

the trooper mustache, and looked up at
his portly senior and said, I'm just

When California Was Unknown.

In an old geography printed in 1915
appears the following: california is a
wild and almost unknown land
Throughout the year it is covered with
dense fogs, as damp as unhealthful.
In the interior are volcanoes and vast
plains of shifting SHOWS, which some
times shoot columns TO great heights.
This would seem nearly incredible
were it not for the well authenticated
accounts of Travellers"

Cleveland, O., has offered the people
of Martinsburg, through Newton D.
Baker, Jr., a former resident of this
city, now practicing law in Cleveland.
the sum of $1,000. to be used in the

burg public library. The offer was
received by the president of the Mar
tinsburg Public Library Association.
1t is made with the provision that a
site can be procured without cost and
the assurance that the sum of $4,000
can be raised in the city of Martins
burg within two years. Further than
this there are no restrictions upon her
gift, except that the sum Of $4,000
be used in the construction of the
building, ard the further condition
that, at least so far as the contribu-
ton to the entire fund is concerned, it
shall be perpetually free library.
1t is thought that the necessary site
will be procured and the S., 900 raised

located in rented building.
