.SOUABBLE OVER
HAT BEFORE SQUIRE
Man is Arrested For Stealing 1t and
u He Pays Cost of ItiAnd a
Warrant.

The alleged theft of a hat valued
at $3.50 was the cause. of case
and considerable squabbling in for
eign tongue in Magistrate Gordon's
assizes Monday evening.
George Chazah, of Pinnickinnick,
went to the magistrates office from
the B. s. o. station and swore out
a warrant against Charley Cocken-
sky, of Pennington, who, he said,
was going to leave ON the next train
with a hat belonging to the complain
ant. Cockensky was arrested at the
station and hauIed into court for a
hearing. The defendant seemed
rather indignant over the legal pro-
ceedings and rather than take any
chances of being delayed he paid
the cost of the hat and the costs of
the case in order TO get the war
rant dismissed. There was a good
deal of argument IN foreign LAM
guage in the court and the magis-
trate was rather glad the case end
ed the way 1t did.

IN THE COUNTRY

that he has been compelled TO take
him out of training. WITH three
weeks work this fall this colt has
shown Fights of a mile In eighteen
seconds a 1924 gait.
Mr.. Sommers remembers the old
horseman's adage. that ''it is the clip
that counts" and is afraid to drive
the colt any faster this fall at It's
tender age. Mr. Sommers facetious-
ly calls him Just Bud" He says
he has breeding and speed enough
and does not care to handicap him
with a high-sounding cognomen- A
colt of his caliber does not need to
be called Baron de Fortesque, and he
thinks Just Bud" iS enough.
Mr.. Sommers, OF course, has the

LEPTOMANIAGS )
AFTER PRESENTS
shopIifters are Beginning to Acquire
Their Christmas Presents in
Usual Way.

There are a lot of people who
get their Christmas presents by
purloining them. They get them by
the method commonly known as
shoplifting. The holiday trade has
begun and it is during this season
the kleptomaniac gets busy. They
just cannot help it sOmeway and they
can see no harm in it.
Already they are plying their
trade, several cases of shoplifting
having been reported here. These in
cidents are mostly In the large dry
goods and notion stores, where
goods are displayed on bargain coun-
tiers and stores are crowded The
merchants and clerks are so busy
they do not have time to keep an
eye on every one that comes into the
store, and there are great many
people. they know they need not
watch. But there is an organized
effort this year among the merch-
ants to spot the shoplifter and
light-hnger performers. A part of
the plan is to send word hurriedly
around. whenever one is caught in
the act.
There is every reason to believe
there Will be less of it this year than
ever before, as the merchants are
determined not to be longer i'm
posed on in any such costly man
ner.

To BUILD
The HOME
odd Fellows Are Getting Ready. On
Fine Big Farm at Eli<ins.
This State.
eoAIAIITTEE q APPoINTED.
-rhey are Going About This Great
Undertaking in Very Practical
Way and VIII Get Legislation

These Odd Fellows are practical
people. They dispense great deal
of money every year in the charities
If their order. and really prevent a
great deal of suffering and distress
among their members, for as rule
these members are largely composed
of the working classes who haven't
much provision ahead for the rainy
day. that sometimes comes when
they can't work Then the order
steps in and see that they and theirs
don't suffer while the head of the
house is unable to follow his usual
avocation to make a living for his
family. They are also a modest
kind of folk. and don't tell every
body Just what they are doing. but
sometimes their work leaks out and
then it is generally found that 1t is
Just the kind of thing that they have
right to feel rather proud of.
a case in point is their recent ac-
ton at the Charles Town session of
the Grand Lodge to establish
Home for their aged members and
their wives and the orphans of de
ceased members. They are not say
ing much about it to any one outside
of their own ranks. but it IS going to
be the first and the finest Institution
of the kind in West Virginia. Other
orders have been talking. for years
about the Homes" they are going to
build, but oddif Fellowship simply
raised the money and Will start to
build Just as soon as the Legislature
will permit their grand lodge to own
SUFFICIENT land for its purposes and
they don't expect to have much trou-
Bile in getting Legislative permission,
as they have appointed committee
composed of Hon. Sep. Hall, Hon.
Geo. G.. Sturgiss and Attorney Cen
eral Clarke w. May, all prominent
members of the order, to prepare the
necessary legislation and present IL
which will enable them to carry out
this great benevolent work.
The order has fine farm near FL
kins, comprising one hundred acres,
valued at ten thousand dollars, on
which they propose to construct the
Home" Just as soon as the law
allows the Grand Lodge to take title
to this property, the ground viii be
broken for foundation Of magnih-
cent building that will comfortably
accommodate from two hundred to
three hundred inmates.
OF course the bulk of the, inmates
will be orphans of Odd Fellows who
will receive in the Home all the
care and attention that could be CIV
en- them in the best homes of the
land. and adequate provision will be
made for, their education to enable
them to become useful citizens 1t
VIII not be a charitable institution
but home in every. sense Of the word
in which every Odd Fellows orphan
Will enter and receive support and
education as a matter of right.
Manay such Homes" exist In other
States. but the idea is new one in
West Virginia.
