Superintendent A. B. Smith was here
again last week looking after the pro-
posed rural delivery extension in this
county. 1t has been definitely settled
that the star routes will be abolished, and
this change will affect the route from
Charles Town to Myerstown by way of
Daley and from Kearneysville to Mid
dleway by Leetown. Postoffices at
Daley. Kabletown. Keller S. Uvilla and
perhaps Leetown viii be abolished. Mid
dleway will become what is known IN
postal parlance as pay station. while the
influence of Summit Point and Shenan-
doah Junction as postal centers will be
enlarged by having two rural carriers
each. A carrier will also be assigned to
the office at Myerstown. and he will be
required to deliver mail to the people OF
the east side of the Shenandoah river,

Stolen Camera Lenses.

From the New York Times
1.-The sale of camera lenses is a compare
lively new branch of the pawnbrokers'
trade" said a dealer in Photographic sup
plies, but a large number from that source
come to the trade to be refitted with shut
ters and fanges. good lens costs any
where from $50 to $50, and is as easy to
raise money on as good watch. But you
will notice that the lenses you see in pawn
brokers' windows without the fanges.
That is sure sign they have been stolen.
Very few sneak thieves know enough to lift
out shutter and all, but they can get the
lens and make away with 1t by a simple
turn of the wrist. If a man who owned a
camera were to take his naked lens to a
pawnshop and say he owned 1t he would
not be believed, and would have to be con-
tent with the extremely small loan usually
made upon a stolen lens Pawnbrokers are
willing to take chances with them, because
the risk of detection is almost nil and the
profits great when they make a sale. ANA
teur photographers who know their busi-
ness can pick up good many bargains in
the New York pawnshops."

amount of money. But his capacity for
food and paints and canvas had been I'M
limited He had moved from studio to
studio-from room to room-and one morn
ing he had awakened to the realization that
even the landlord of miserable tenement
house insists constantly upon good hard
cash.
He had gone into the streets to look for
work. He had found it in the hardest kind
of manual labor down in the bowels of the
earth His soul had groaned. But the
work kept him warm, fed him with good
food, covered him with a roof. SO he plled
his unSold paintings against the wall OF
his little ROOM covered them with bits or
cloth and started in to do his share In tun-
nelng a great metropolis.
Dobbins went home. 1t was late but he
felt a strange elation. He had money in
his pockets; he had thrashed a couple OF
rowdies; he had earned the gratitude of a
girl. Obeying a sudden impulse, he drew
forth his last canvas and his paints. With
bold dashes he hastily sketched head.

Pigs Feet for Sleeplessness.

From the New York Times.
The story sent out from Washington that
the Siamese minister had not been able to
sleep for a month, mot even for few min
utes, may seem incredible to persons accu5-
toned to their eight hours every night"
said a New York specialist in neurasthenia.
but in the profession we are constantly
coming across such instances. Most per-
sons would suppose that a man or woman
going without sleep for a month would
succumb to sheer exhaustion. Nothing of
the kind. Many patients refuse to take
narcotics, no matter how long they go
without sleep, and when they do feel that
way the doctor seldom insists. l had
patient this winter who never slept a wink
for forty-two days. He was suffering from
a common form of insomnia. l got his
digestion all right inside of a month by
regulating his diet and giving him a hearty
meal of pigs feet about three hours be-
fore bed time. 1t was as successful as II
has been in other cases. No, l don't say
that there is any virtue in pigs feet as a
sedative. but in the digestive process they
induce restful slumber. quite different from
the stupor sleep induced by heavy feeding"
gravedigger in Holland claims to have
buried so 90 people.
