BUCKWHEAT CAKES AND HONEY.
Newspaper Man Comforts His Appetite
With the Thought OF Good
Meals" in the Past.

For many years the familiar
face of George Fleming, one Of the
most courteous statesmen on the
road, was seen at regular intervals
by our merchants. But George
was printer, and the recollec-
tion of the smell of printers ink
overcame his propensity for the
odor of molasses, and he bought
the Mercersburg Journal and re-
turned to his first love.
The appearance of the Journal
shows that George knows how to
run a newspaper; but the inner
side of a newspaper man is some
times unwittingly exposed as the
following will show, ana it all
came about by a McConnellsburg
hotel man sending in an advertise.
ment. When George got down
to writing up the "ad"t the thought
of square meal" got the better
OF him, and this is the way he let
himself out.
"Ahout Is years ago we were
hauled over the mountains from
Fort Loudon in the stage then run
by MIR. Woollet and landed at his
house, and for about Is years we
visited the town pretty regularly
every three weeks, generally st )p
ping there over Monday night,
and always slept and took our
meals at Woollets. Having put
our feet under Mrs. Woollet's ia
ble so often and slept in those
featherbeds so long, and ate so
many OF those buckwheat cakes
and honey, we are in position to
recommend this property as one
of the best in all this country for
any one wishing to engage in the
hotel business.
"They' know how to make the
buckwheat cakes over there. We
have been there when Robert
could not carry them IN fast
enough with both hands. We
have wondered how far up the
mountain road all those cakes
would reach if laid side by side.
Then the fine large garden con-
nected with the property is a
feature not to be forgotten and
one that is being considered by
many hotel men today. 1t is cer-
tainly a great advantage to be
able to have vegeta bles and small
fruits such as strawberries and
raspberries fresh from your own
garden. We say this is a good
chance for some one."

LOUDON MAN MURDERED.
Lorenzo D. Kline Shot to Death By Board.
ing'house Keeper at Hagerstown.
Intimacy with Latter's Wife.
BURIED AT LOUDON LAST SATURDAY.

Lorenzo D. Kline, a native of
Fort Loudon, was the victim of
deliberate murder IN Hagerstown
early last Thursday morning.
The story is as follows:
Frederick Easton. lightning
rod agent and clearinghouse
keeper of Hagerstown arose early
Thursday morning and found that
his wife was not in her room. On
his way down stairs Easton glanc-
ed into the room of Kline, the door
of which was open, and found his
wife and Kline sleeping IN the
same bed.
Easton went down stairs and
out of the house to the brewery
across the street. At the brew
cry he borrowed a revolver, say.
ing that he wished to shoot a dog.
Shen he went back to his home
and to the room of Kline. Reach,
ing across the sleeping form of
his wife and resting his arm on
her shoulder, Easton placed the
revolver to Kline's temple and
fired. He neither spoke to his
wife, who was awakened by the
report of the pistol, nor abused
her in any way.
After he had committed the
murder Easton went down town
and gave himself up. He was
placed in Jail and the officers in
vestigated the tragedy.
Eas;on refused to make a state
ment and so did his wife.
A coroner's jury was impanell-
ed. The verdict of the jury was
that Easton ded feloniously, vol
UNFAIRLY and with malice, atore-
thought, kill and murder the said
Kline.
There is no law IN Maryland to
mitigate Easton's sentence if the
court upholds thecoroner's jury's
finding.
The Easton woman Is said to
bear a tarnlshed reputation in
Hagerstown.
Lorenzo Kline is a native Of
Loudon, where his mother and
several brothers and sisters now
reside. In his younger days he
Was rather wild and in 1899 serv.
ed a term in Jail for riot and
assault and battery on Calvin Nc
Laughlln. He was married sew
eral years ago end joined the
Methodist church. While his
wife lived he is said to have lived
a quiet life and to have been a
good citizen. His wife died a
year ago and he left Loudon to
work at his trade, machine work,
in Hagerstown.
Kline is survived by his aged
mother, who Is in delicate health,
and the following brothers and
sisters: William, Marion, Mill.
ard Harvey Kline, all of Loudon,
and Mrs. Henry Etter, Marion.
Kllne's body was taken to Fort
Loudon last Thursday evening,
and the funeral, conducted by

Statistics show that the number Of
French sailors retired or invaded is
thirty per cent greater than OF the
English because of less care in choos-

ness in sanitation. The surest way of
resisting the insidious influences of
disease is the systematic use of golden

A curious q lawsuit regarding the
ownership Of lands was tried recently
in Ceylon. The trouble originated at
an archery competition held by King
Parakrania Bahu W., who ruled over
Ceylon in the fifteenth century. in
which there were two champions who
outdistanced all the rest and alike hit
every mark that was submitted to
them. The king was about to divide
the prize when from q neighboring
pond Z frog vas heard to croak. The
king seized upon a solution and de-
clared that whichever could hit the
frog, aiming only by ear, should gain
the prize. One Of the archers trans
fixed the frog with the arrow. So de-
lighted was the monarch that, besides
the original prize, he gave to the win
ner an estate Of $4,000 acres. The
present claimants in the lawsuit were
the descendants Of the archer.

= Recently . new play was performed
in Prague, tho principal characters IN
which are . beautiful young lady and
. brilliant. young,omcer but are unable
to marry because they are a. poor AZ
church mice. True, the young 1soy
has a very rich uncle, from whom she
hopes to obtain aid, but she very soon
discovers that he is an arrant miser
and will not give her a farthing.
Tho woes of the lovers touched the
hearts of many in the audience, but
only one person proved really equal to
the occasion. This was q worthy and
wealthy baker. who had actually been
moved to tears by the distressing
scenes on the stage. At last his heart
o%verdowed. and the moment the rich
uncle vanished with a bitter sheer at
his niece's folly on his lips, he rushed
from his seat to the footlights, and,
taking . well-flled purse from his
pocket, handed it to the astonished
heroine, saying:
Here, take ~this-you'll find . good
dowry in ft-and have nothing more
to do with that wretched miser."
Every one in the thester roared at
the good fellows simplicity and gen.
erosity, but he could not see that he
had done anything unusual. and, as
he refused to take back the purse, the
heroine, with q smile. laid it on q
table, and the play went on.
