PnotographerBrooke Off for the West.

F. D. Brooke the photographer,
leaves with his family Sunday morning
for the west where they will seek To-
cation with climate more suitable to
them.
Mr.. Brooke and.family have wide
circle of friends here who regret very
much their departure. During their
stay of few years here Mr.. Brooke
has built up his photography business
in phenomenal manner and it has been
entirely by the fact that he is a man of
such skill as to be recognized as one of
the best artists of the country. His
business relations have been honor
able in every particular and he is a
progressive and allround good citizen.
The community in which he locates in
the west can well feel that they have
gained by Clarksburg's loss. Telegram

BEATS THE GRASSHOPPER.
A Snake Trails a Rabbit Through the
Deer Snow.

The following good story is taken
from the Davis News of the 18th:
eff the party who saw countless
numbers of grasshoppers leap-frogging
on snowbank on hillside at Parsons
last week thinks he has a corner on
phenomenon, we beg to have him take
note OF the following: David L. Shu-
maker, of this place, while hunting up
Beavers Creek about two miles from
town Friday last, struck rabbit trail
IN the snow and he proceeded to follow
it. When he had covered some distance
he discovered another trail as if the rab-
bit was dragging something. Follow
ing the trail little futher he discover
ed to his surprise that snake was fol-
lowing the rabbit. A shot from Mr.. Shu-
makers gun tore away his snakeship's
head. A little further on the rabbit was
bagged. 1t was the largest snake ever
seen by Mr.. Shumaker in this neck of
OF the woods. Come on with YOUR

Don't Cross Your Legs.

The prevalence of appendicitis
is an admitted fact" said a sur
geon. Il have myself operated
on 7I9 persons for the disease.
Crossing the legs is responsible
for a good deal of this trouble.
That sounds strange, doesn't it?
Nevertheless it is a theory advo-
Gated by more than one great sur
geon. Indeed l know some men
who say that if people never cross
ed their .legs appendicitis would
quite disappear. You see, cross

A STORM IN THE JUNGLE.
1t Comes With Roar Like That of a
Giant Waterfall.

People who have never been in
a jungle talk of the sky as a paint
er talks of the horizon or a sea-
faring man of the ofing-as if
when you wanted to see it you
only need use your eyes. But in
the jungle you don't see the sky
at least you only see a few scrag-
gy patches of it overhead through
the openings i'll the twigs and
leaves. Neither do YOU feel the
wind blowing, nor get burned or
dazzled by the sun, nor even see
that luminary except by momen-
tary glimpses about midday, from
which it follows that jungle man
does not usually pretend to be
weatherwise. If he does he is even
a greater humbug than the rest of
the weather prophets. On the
afternoon about which we are
speaking remember setting forth
on my walk in the still glow of the
tropical calm and wondering rather
at the intense stiffness of the sur
rounding forest. Then the air
grew cooler and the green of the
foliage in front seemed to deepen,
and presently there was a sound
as of a giant waterfall in the dis
lance. Waterfalls do not, however,
grow louder every second, where
as the noise in front did so. Then
there was loud angry growl, as
OF a dozen lions. A minute more
and the whole jungle began to roar
as if fifty squadrons OF heavy cav
airy were coming up at a gallop.
Then came drop of rain and a
peal of thunder which seemed to
make the world stop.
Then the storm began. The
sky above darkened; the trees
clattered; the brushwood beneath
Kissed and Bowed itself. A deluge
of rain drops blotted out the mar
row view. Down it came, soaking
through the densest leaves under
which one fled for refuge, striking

TROPICAL CYCLE ONES.
Unusual abundance in the Last Few
Weeks.

The most destructive tpye OF
storms which is experienced any
where on the globe is observed
only in the late summer and aut-
umn and originates within ten or
fifteen degrees of the equator. The
ocean is their birthplace, and they
are the product of solar heat stored
up in the sea during the summer
months. The typhoon of the
Orient and the West India hurri-
cane belong to this class of distur-
Dances. Some years pass without
more than one or two being re-
corded. Already four or five have
been reported this season from the
Chinese coast and the Philippines
and as many more from the Carl
bean Sea and adjacent waters.
This unusual abundance suggests
the possibility that the sun, has
been sending more heat to the
earth this year than usual.

silver trumpets signal the feast to
begin. Shame. shame! The I'M
seemly dispute as to precedence
breaks out once more as the disci-
pies scramble for the most eligible
places. Jesus rebukes them in an
acted parable, performing for them
the mental task of a scullery
drudge. Now the paschal banquet
begins. The ritual is used, the
rubrics observed. The cup is
passed with thanksgiving. Bitter
herbs, dipped in vinegar, are eaten
in remembrance of Egypt. The
unleaven bread. with bit of the
of the roasted lamb upon it, is
taken by each. Another cup is
passed. There is the customary
hand-washing. Jesus, as the SYM
posiarch, discourses upon the sig
nifcance of the feast. They break

first part of the Hallel. CPsa.
cXii-cXiv.D The third and last
cup goes from hand to hand, and
then they sing the second part of

At times through the feast, Jesus
gives limitations, increasingly dis
tinct, of His betrayal and betrayer.
He suffers not His manner toward
Judas to change. probably let
him take the chief place at the
table. He certainly washed his
feet, and gave him his portion
with His own hand. But the
devil was in his heart, and the
thirty pieces in his scrip. An i'll
cubus was lifted when the apostate
left the table. All that remained
of the paschal ritual was the bless
ing of praise with which it was al
ways closed. They were all ex-
pecting it. The innovation cou Id
not but be noticed by those who
had followed one program annual
ly from the time when they were
ten years old. Instead of lifting
His hand in benediction, Jesus
reached over to the dish of IN
leaven bread upon the table, and,
taking up piece, He rose from
the mat, and blessed it, and, as
He passed from one to another,
He broke it giving each a morsel,
saying, Take. eat; this is Ny

and, again giving thanks, and
passing it from one to another, He
said, This is Ny blood of the
new covenant, which is shed for
many for the remission of sins. 4"

ment navy yards at Pensacola suf-
fered, too. The loss of life on the
Gulf coast was less than at Hong
Kong, but that of property must
have been fully twice as great.
Another of these destroyers follow
ed a slightly different course. It
started from the Venezuela coast,
reached Western CUBA about
week ago and then made itself felt
on the eastern coast of Florida.
The city of Havana suffered Sc
verely, as did the tobacco barns of
the western provinces. A tidal
wave created by the storm deluged
several islands, or keys, between
Miami and Key West. On one of
these $50 persons were drowned.
The warship Brooklyn was strand
ed in Havana Harbor by the same
waves, but got off without serious
harm.
The path taken by the great ma
jority of these tropical storms in
thepast has been curiously curved.
When first seen they are usually
moving almost due westward,
somewhere near the fifteenth paral-
lei of north latitude, After time
they turn to the northwestward
and northward, and frequently
swervc around to the northeast
ward. 1t is an almost invariable
rule that when they once reach
the coast Of the South Atlantic
States they follow the Gulfstream,
come up to the vicinity of New
foundland and then push over to
Europe. Scarcely any of the half
dozen storms reported this year
have followed the established pre-
cedent. Two or three were divert
ed to the eastward of the Bermuda
Islands. One moved inland and
and died out in Tennessee. The
Mobile storm got as far as Arkan-
sas and was then crowded back to
the Gulf coast. The latest West
India cyclone after getting up as
far as South Carolina, came to a
| halt and remained stationary for
thirty-six or forty-eight hours. It
is thought that some of these &C.
centricities were due to the pro-
longed presence of All atmospheric
barrier over the Southwestern
Atlantic. This was indicated by
exceptionally high barometric
readings, which showed that there
was 4 remarkable cushion Of air in
the way Of the storms, and they
were unable to pursue their habit
ual route.

IT is not enough to be a law-abiding,
industrious citizen of good character.
The best evidence of good citizenship
finds expression in the ballot. The man
who has convictions in the matter of ma
tional legislation should vote on Nov
ember sixth. And the thoughtful man
has no choice as to how he will vote.
He can not accept the theories of Mr..
Bryan nor endorse the ambitions of Mr..
Hearst, who are the chief opponents of
the Democracy in the campaign this
year. The excellent record Of the last
Congress and the splendid achievements
of President Roosevelt appeal to all
men. The Republican nominee for Con-
gress in the sixth district of Maryland
has had a part in shaping the legisla-
ton which has given the country pros
perity, and his return to Congress is
essential to continue the good work.
Let no citizen of this county fail in his
civic duty, but let him add his ballot to
the majority which will send Colonel
Pearre back to Congress.
