A Humble Meal.

of tax assessor at that time and my
duties sometimes necessitated my
spending the night with this couple,
who, though poverty-stricken, never
failed to make me welcome. One day
I reached the house at the noon hour
and was cordially invited to light
and come in to dinner. We took our
seats at the table; my host bowed his
head and murmured the briefest grace
I ever heard. God bless our bite.
The wife passed dish Of corn pone,

The Turning OF The Year.

The birds cease their song in July
says a writer in Country Life in Amer
lea. by the end of the first week
one misses some voices in the wood,
land choir, and by the middle of the
month most of the leading soloists are
silent-the veery, the oriole, the bobo-
link, the red d-winged blackbird, the
brown thrasher and others. Inst cad
of the sweet melodies OF June, the
orchard rings with the fretful cry Of
young orioles and the pine grove is
noisy with the ceaseless squawk of
young crows. The grsckles aud
bleckbirds and swallows are gathering
in focks. The first flock Of grackles
stealing down toward the marshas of
a July afternoon for the night roost
seems always to trail behind it the
semblance Of a shadow. 1t is your
first intimation that the tide Of the year
has turned. One brooded birds are
molting, while a few, like the song
sparrow, are still busy with second or
third families; and many Of the old
birds are leading their young forth
into the world to complete their edu.
cation in travel.

Skeleton Found.

Last week while workmen were en-
ployed in tearing out the interior OF
the White House, at Washington, deep
down under the basement part of a
human skeleton was unearthed. The
discovery created CONSERVATION among
the colored laborers, who are Of su-
perstitious nature, and they were kept
at work with difficulty. Strenuous
efforts have been made to keep the
discovery a secret. The workmen
have been cautioned not to discuss the
subject and the most rigid regulations
have been adopted to prevent per-
sons not actually employed in the
mechanical work from entering the
building. Even clerks and messen-
gers belonging to the executive force
are excluded under the existing or
der. 1t will be remembered that the
land upon which the White House and
adjacent public buildings are built is
made land, developed to its present
condition by filling in and grading
In this same excavation was found
large oven embedded in the stone
wall, and in proximity to the oven
were found the bones 1t was the
discovery of the bones in conjunction
with the oven that terrorized the
workmen and caused them to believe
that they had unearthed an ancient
tomb.
During the tearing out process
many other interesting discoveries
have been made. For instance, in the
famous East Room, evidence Of the
fire of 1914, when the mansion was
destroyed, was disclosed. AS the
walls were cut out for the placing Of
the new iron beams and supports
pieces Of old burnt timbers were found,
having been burnt close of to the
stone walls.
According to experts, the outside
walls of the White House are OF per-
feet construction and said to be more
substantial than those Of modern times
Fault is found, however, with some OF
the interior brick arches and construc-
ton OF olden times. Some o! the lat
ter were found to be dangerously
weak and in a state of decay. In a
few places the old foundation was
opened and found 10 be in need Of re-
pair. New retaining walls have been
erected to brace up the weak places,
so that there need be no further ap-
prehension about an insecure iounda'
ton of the White House.

SHEPHERDSTOWN w. VA, TIL URSDAY, AUGUST IA, 1902

walk over the dead bodies of forty
stuck-up young men and set a barn or
two on fire to give Chemung county
fair warning. An hour after dark he
appeared at Uncle Ben's with his
Sunday clothes on. He expected to
find Lizzie seated on the piazza, but
she wasn't there.
The mother had seen to that. There
was young man there, however, and,
curiously enough. he had curly hair,
and he was stuck-up. He smoked
cigarettes and spoke with drawl.
"Ab, yas suppose you are the
fellow who has been hanging around
Miss Lizzie for the last three years.
You needn't mind hanging any longer,
you knsw. 1t gives me pleasure to
inform you that I have won the dear
girls hand and heart and that we are
to be welded next month. Charming
evening, I'm suah.
Tom stood there like a man turned
to stone, and for a minute the quar-
reline of the hens on their roost
sounded in his ears like the thunder
of Niagara. He had lost Lizzie. She
didn't want to see him, even, for a
last goodby, and Uncle Ben and Aunt
Mary had no further use for him. AS
it all surged up in his soul he turned,
walked down the path and out of the
gate and paused not as theyoung man
called after him:
"Sorry, doncher knaw, but you
were too slow about it. III tell the
deah girl that you called"
Tom reached home intending to cut
his head off with the ak or choke him
self to death on an early turnip, but
all of sudden he began to get mad
about it. He had been thrown down,
and thrown hard, without notice, and
he wouldn't stand it. Lizzie and
everybody else knew that he intended
to marry her after awhile-after the
price of corn got above 45 cents-and
no man should step in and take her
from him.
Hardly conscious Of what he was do
ing, he went to the barn and hitched
the old bay mare to the forty dollar
Ohio top carriage. Then he brushed
the dust off his clothes, felt in his
pockets to see if his 81 was safe and,
leaping into the vehicle, yelled
"G'langT' in a way that sent the stald
old mare forward ten feet. She was
on the gallop when she reached Uncle
Ben s, and, without waiting to tie her,
Tom sprang down and banged the gate
open. Four people were on the pl-
azza. and he came to the stuck-up
young man first, grabbed him by the
legs nd threw him into bed of pinks.
Uncle Ben started up with whats
this, Tom? ?" but Tom pushed him over
his chair and sternly exclaimed:
Don't dare to fool with desperate
man Come on, Lizzie !"
ooh, Tom, what is it?" she asked.
Come on, l say You'll marry me
or I'll chuck you into Woodchuck
creek and drown you !"
"But, Tom
Come on
And Tom almost carried her to the
carriage, and climbing in after her,
he gave the old mare a cut and sent
her along to Squire Joslyn's at three
minute gait. The squire was at home
Ten minutes later the knot was tied,
and Tom was saying to his bride:
"By gum, but I've got you, and
you cant get away Now I'll take
you home, and if your folks or that
young squirt has got anything 20 say
they'll find themselves cked in the
smokehouse, and I'll be saying, Sorry,
