bis best girl for q Christmas present. There
are so many pretty and useful things that be
ought to be able to please himself and her
without much trouble.
- Last Saturday was just the sort of day
when little warmth in trolley car adds very
much to the comfort of the passengers. And
to get out of one of these into one not equipped
with heaters is transition by no means calcu-
lated to add to ones comfort.

Zone must wonder where the women get
all the strength they display in the Juggling Of
bundles and packages about the holiday season.
Sometimes little woman who, perhaps, does
not weigh over 100 pounds, staggers along
under load fit for dr0medary and don't seem
to mind it. Some things are past finding out.
THE section north of Towson will begin
way between here and Cockeysville gets in

trolley line. Just watch and see what a change
will be wrought in comparatively short time.

- Rev. M. H. Mill, rector of the Protestant
Episcopal Church of the Redeemer, thinks
that Charles street avenue extended, upon
which his church is located should be lighted
at the expense of the county. This is highly
important and much travelled thoroughfare
that is owned by the United Railways and
Electric Company, and it is therefore doubtful
il the county would undertake to light it.
There can be no question about the necessity
of having it lighted, however.
MIR. g. w. Battee, well known business
man of Lauraville, Hartford road, says that
many people are looking about that section of
the county for homes but, as rule, they want
to buy too cheaply. He says that most Of
these think that from two to three thousand
dollars is enough to pay for house and small
patch of ground in the country when, as
matter of fact, places cannot be had at those
prices generally rule higher. They have s.
cent fare on their trolley line.

OF course there are many houses Immediately
outside of these boundaries-perhap almost

thicket near st. Helena on Tuesday morning
He had a pistol wound in his head. Mr.. Smith
left home Monday morning with three dogs to

The dogs bounded on ahead and led the two
men to the body. The third dog was standing
