sent to the surveyors 10 serve for the
missing marker. Near Big Pool, Md,
six OF the original stones were found
built into the walls of houses, and two
were serving the purpose OF door steps.
The surveyors came to the conclusion
that these stones were a part Of those
which were left I'm the vicinity because
OF the lack of transportation facilities
to cary them to the points where they
were needed. Legal proceedings had TO
be resorted TO before these stones could
be obtained. At clear Spring. Md. one
Of the stones was found set up in front
OF q place OF business. 1t had been
much mutilated, and inquiry developed
the fact that the owner OF the premises
had broken off pieces of the stone from
time TO time and pulverized II to fur
nish grit for his chickens.
One OF the stones which had not been
removed from it's original position,
near Mount st. MaTy's college. AT En-
mettsburg, Md. had been broken by
relic hunters until little of il remained
above ground. One of the ~crOwnstones
near Pen Mar, Md, had been religious
ly protected by the farmers in the
locality, and after the establishment OF
the mountain resort there was covered
with wire netting to keep off the relic
hunters. In many places along the line
the peculiar NniIe appearance OF the
stones invited vandalism and the
marking stones had been much broken
by small boys throwing other stones
against them.

A Woman Buyers Salary.
From the Pilgrim

fIcll AIAC 4 ~ tIHs
The salary of the woman buyer J.
often exaggerated. but as a matter OF
fact 1t varies very much according to
the department and the demands made
upon it. Many of them get $40 a week
or 81, 900 a year, and here and there is
one who gets a salary of $4,000 and
5000 a year. But while some have large
pay, there are more who have not.
There seems to be a tendency to the
subdivision of departments, II as a
buyer under these conditions requires
less wide experience, as we'll as less
administrative ability, the pay is not
as large. For instance, some stores
have a separate department for corsets.
another for baby clothes and q third for
underwear; while one firm makes still
another distinction with it's department
OF imported lingerie. on the other hand
one store has all these in one depart
ment with a woman who is one Of the
ablest buyers in her city at it's head.
The work of tbs regular department
buyer includes not only the supplying
of stock, but the oversight of the whole
department, the care of the stock and
the superintendence of the hep; and the
latter, where the department is large,
is al important. feature OF the work.
There is one woman who has had as
many as eighty girls working under
her at one time. The buyers, as a rule,
cultivate very pleasant relations with
the help. AS business women they real
ize that the best of their lives is spent
with the girls" because they can sym
pathize with them in the hardships of
store life, they lake advantage CT many
opportunities for kindness. The good
buyer has the welfare OF her depart
ment very much at heart, and his
makes her particular about many
things. 1t is needful, too. that her help
be well trained. The designing Of new
goods is usually one of the duties OF
the buyer, as 1t is also her work to
keep informed on all new styles. 1t
is surprising how, wen in the depart
ment of underwear. there is so much
change and variety.

CURING HALTER BREAKING
HORSES

Some horses have the habit of pulling at
their halters when fastened at the manger
and always breaking them. While 1t Is
generally considered that the horse gets
along much better in the box stall where
he is not fastened at all, 1t is not always
possible to arrange such a plan so that
something must be one TO break the hal
ter-breaking habit. The following plan is
admitted to work nicely and to break any
horse Of the habit after a few weeks trial.
TAX a strong rope long enough for the
purpose and after doubling 1t, pass an end
each side of the horse about midway be-
tween the front and hind legs. Pass the
ends through a ring, then through the
hole in the manger and then tie the ends

BRANTON
AWAITS
TRIAL

Eugene, Or, March 16.-Instead of
giving John Branton a hearing be-
fore the Justice of the peace, as is Gus
tomary, District Attorney Brown yes
terday filed an information against
him in the circuit court, and he was
bound over in the $4,000 bonds to ap-
pear at the adjourned term of the cir
cult court on April 14th. 1t is not be-
lieved that he will furnish the bonds,
but he will probably remain in Jail
pending the trial for assault with in
tent to kill.
The county court is not decided on
the question of having the body of
Branton's first wife exhumed for the
purpose of ascertaining whether or
not she was poisoned The matter is
being considered by Judge Chrisman,
and if sufficient evidence is presented
to show probability of making a
case, it is probable the body will be ex.
humed. There is a strong sentiment in
favor of having the matter investigatr
ed to ascertain the cause of the death
of Branton' s wives.
Attorneys who were interested in
the divorce case of Hester Grace
Price against her husband are inclined
TO doubt the rumor that it was for the
purpose of marrying Branton that the
divorce was secured. While there
might be such a possibility, yet there
were circumstances which would seem
to argue against such an alliance.
