Establishing Free Rural Delivery Routes

Establishing Free Rural Delivery Routes
Mr.. A. B. Smith, special agent Of
the Postofice Department for the es-
Enlistment of rural free delivery, is
in Shepherdstown this week to plan a
number Of new routes in this neigh
borhood. He expects to establish
several routes from Shepherdstown,
one eastward and southwark that will
supply the territory now served from
Moler's and others that will deliver
the mail west and north, towards
Berkeley county. The postofices at
Moler's, and Snyder's Mills will be
abolished, and probably that at FOltz s
also, all their patrons being served
from Shepherdstown. Other routes
will be started from Shenandoah June
ton, one Of which will do away with
the Uvilla Office. Kearneysville will
also be a central point from which
free delivery will be made, extending
as far as Middleway. Additional
service will be started from Harper's
Ferry to the Bakerton and Keller
neighborhoods.
Mr.. Smith is one of the most eff
cent officers in the service and we
are glad he is to plan the new routes
in this neighborhood; for he not only
thoroughly knows his business, but IN
addition he has a warm spot in his
heart for Jefferson county folks that
will impel him to give us the best SER
vice that can be secured.
Rural free delivery is splendid
thing for the people, and we are glad
they are 30 soon to have its benefits.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
Of food, but because the food
loes not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems 20 find

Gossip Party.

A new and novel scheme for enter
tanning the guests at social gather
ings is termed gossip party, at which
men are required to do the gossiping,
thus relieving the sex credited with
having corner on the gossip market
There must be an equal number of
men and women present at this fas-
cinating function In the first place,
the hostess writes "a dozen or more
topics of conversation upon cards,
which are handed to guests upon their
arrival. The subjects usually chosen
are of up-tO-date and piquant charac-
ter, a startling bit of news, new
novel or picture, the flirtations of ones
friends, questions of costume, favorite
dishes, or tastes, etc. Chairs arranged
in pairs and sofas scattered about the
rooms have numbers attached to them,
just as many as there are couples;
these numbers are drawn for, and each
couple drawing corresponding numbers
hunts up the seats similarly num-
bered.
After the manner of progressive
card parties, a bell is rung to announce
each topic of each conversation, fol
which five minutes are allowed. Al
the end of that time the men rise anC
pass on to the seat next theirs IN
number. At each change of places
the next subject on the cards is taker
up and chatted about. The womer
remain seated, while the men pro
gress until the entire circle is made
or until the hostess announces tn,
conclusion of the gossip. Slips o
paper and pencils are then distributed
and the women vote for the mel
whose gossip most interested them
and vice versa. The two gaining tn,
most votes receive prizes as reward
for their brilliancy.

In an eastern college town recently
the instructors wives and several
other lady educators of the town,
finding time dragging heavily, con-
cluded to organize club for the study
of current events. At their first meet
ing they decided on who should be-
come members of the club: appointed
committee on bylaws and constitu-
ton, and decided on having certain
professor of history to deliver "a lee
ture before the club and outline some
work for them. At two subsequent
meetings they consumed all their
time correcting the minutes of the
first meeting and discussing each
speaker as to whether or not she was
i'm order. At their fourth meeting
the professor was on hand to deliver
his lecture, but was informed that the
transaction of some business must
necessarily be done first. The bust
ness was the adoption of "A portion of
the constitution, election of officers
and adoption of minutes of former
meetings. There were numerous diff
ferences of opinion concerning parlia-
mentary questions and at last after a
futile effort on the part of several of
the officers to find Roberts Rules of
Order, the meeting adjourned as a
committee of the whole to make a
diligent search for the book on parlia-
mentary law, leaving the professor
alone with the family at whose house
the meeting had been held. Now the
Professor begs to be excused from de-
liyering lectures before ladies CLUBS.

Slang Needed.


Quite b good deal has been said and
written iconeerning the use of slang
recently and in the time past. Books
have been written and widely read in
which the slang phrases were made
the attraction instead of the story
told. And a further step has been
taken by the friends of slang in the
editing of slang dictionary. Some
writers uphold the idea and contend
that anyone who is not acquainted
with the slang in our country isn't
"strictly up" that there are many
things which cannot be so accurately
and well expressed in any other way
as in the use Of slang, and that these
phrases sare becoming so numerous
and. originating in so many different
partS.of our country as to actually
demand dictionary of the terms.
Generally this subject has been con-
sidered joke by many people, but
that it is becoming a serious PROPOSE
tion is evidenced by the fact that G..
Stanley Hall, President of Clark Uni
versity, in an open lecture to the
summer school at the University of
Chicago, remarked as follows: "Boys
and girls need slang. It's good for
them. Let them use IL. 1t keeps
them from becoming tongue-bound."
"If yOungster tells you of a 'hunch'
or straight tip or pipe don't
correct him and give him a stiff sub
stitute. He has found the right
word"
Five hundred prm schoolma ANS
and severe masters gasped in astonish-
ment at his declaration. Prof. Hall
is considered one Of the foremost edu-
Gators in America. Nearly all the
summer students are teachers. They
stopped taking notes when he deliver
ed that utterance. and waited for
him to explain.
"Slang aids the boy or girl of from
II to 10 years of age to acquire
fluency," asserted President Hall.
"When the emotional side of boy or
girl is being developed during adde's
cence, midway between the period
when speech comes slowly and they
lack the power of expression and the
time when they begin again to eX-
press themselves more freely and
easily, the use of slang is essential and
ought to be allowed free play"
You will observe of course that Prof.
Hall has place for slang, and doubt
less would not advocate the use, of 1t
in those who have passed that emo
tional period of adolescence and reach
ed the time when they begin again to
express themselves freely, but it is a
different matter to rid yourself of the
habit of using it when it has once
been formed. In fact large number
of such phrases have been inculcated
into the English language to the ex-
tent that they are frequently heard
from the lecture platform and pulpit,
while newspapers and magazines are
very much hyphenated with slang.
Considering all this one may rightly
question not only are you strictly
up" but can you read intelligently
without being acquainted with slang.

NORTH SIDE DEFEATS ALUMNI.
Minneapolis High School kickers Win
From the Graduates

Following the precedent established by
the elevens OF opposing schools, the North
Side High footballists yesterday admin
istered a sound drubbing to the alumni
team of the same school, Coach Bern1
hagen's boys winning out by a score Of
10 to 0.
The game was played on McNeir's field
and owing to the fact that the grounds
We're not properly marked off the North
Side boys were really deprived of two
touchdowns. Twice they got the ball
apparently safe over the opposition's goal
line, but the officials being uncertain as
whether it was over, ruled against the
regulars. Taking this into consideration
the score does not give fair estimate Of
the strength of the North Side team. The
grass was wet and slippery, and the
players were greatly handicapped in their
movements. Both sides put up credita-
BILE games, however.
With Bergen, Nye, Burman and other
stars opposing them the regulars found
hard proposition to go against. They
were competing against one of the strong
est alumni teams in the city. Yet with
Dexter, Sheppard, Morrill, and Marks and
others at their best, the graduates found
stronger opposition than they had bar
gained for.
For the Alumni Bergen, Nye, Burman
and Calhoun were the stars, while DeX-
ter, Merrill, Barrett and Ertle took the
honors for the regulars.
Coach Bernhagen has a husky lot of
men, and no doubt North Side will give
a good account of itself this season

REFUSE TO HEED DRIzzLE.
Varsity Football Team Works Through
a Damp Practice.

Despite heavy drfzzle, DR.. Williams
varsity kickers went out for their daily
practice on Northrop field as usual yes
terday afternoon, and no time was wasted
on account of the rain. logged out in a
crimson colored sweater and bicycle trou-
Sers, DR.. Williams was active as ever
with his men and worked as hard with
his proteges as he would on an ideal day.
Owing to the rain the rooters were kept
indoors, and there was no necessity Of
throwing the gates open after the usual
secret practice. Thus the entire time, 4
to o'clock, was really devoted to secret
work. No scrimmaging was INDUCED in
on account of the muddy field and a
greater part of the time was given over
to signal practice.
1t is said that DR.. Williams has some
new plays up his sleeve, and that he is
now giving particular attention to these
new wrinkles. Heretofore, in the open
made to master new plays and straight
old tactics have been the rule. Those
who are familiar with DR.. Williams past
history as football instructor will not
be surprised if something out of the or
binary in the matter of formations is
sprung.
For the first time in four years the
Hamline team will meet the university
team on Northrop field this afternoon.
In years past great rivalry existed be-
tween the elevens representing these two
institutions, and to some extent this spirit
still lives. The Hamline kickers will come
up ready to give the big fellows the best
they are capable of putting up, and the
contest will no doubt be worth seeing.
Play will commence at o'clock.

He Sells the New York Club to John T
Brush,


NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Andrew
Freedman, president of the New York
baseball club, tonight announced his
retirement from baseball. He said that
he had sold the New York club to
John T. Brush, former owner Of the
Cincinnati club. Mr.. Freedman has
been in baseball since the winter of
1894, when he purchased controlling
interest in the New York club from
Edward Talcott and others.
While Mr.. Freedman may retain a GER
tain amount of stock in the club for some
time to come, he has entirely withdrawn
league councils.
The announcement of the sale of the
club and Mr.. Freedmans withdrawal
from baseball came as a surprise when it
was taken into consideration that by dint
of the hardest sort Of fighting he became
master of the National league within the
past year. After short verbal state
ment Mr.. Freedman gave typewritten
one, in which he gave the reason for his
retirement in these words:
ION account of my many business in
terests, have found that l have been
unable to devote the necessary amount OF
time to the club
In the document Mr.. Freedman congrat
ulates Mr.. Brush and the New York base
ball club upon passing into his hands.
and ends with the statement that a sue
cessfuI season has just ended and that the
financial condition of the club is good.
John T. Brush said tonight:
81 have bought the New York club from
Mr. Freedman. The stock 1 acquired is
controlling interest, Independent of my
previous holdings. l have made the Bos
ton people an offer for their holdings in
the club, but as yet I have had no reply
from Mr.. Soden. 1t is now my intention
to put winner in New York, and my ev
cry effort will be in that direction. The
American league situation does not bother
me in the least"
Mr.. Brush said he would retain McGraw
as manager. He also announced that/he
would make his home in New York after
the coming winter. The amount of money
involved in the transaction between Mr..
Freedman and Brush has not been given
out. Estimates are that it was close to
500, 900.
