MaPlinsbupg Merchants Gel Orders
From Washington Buyers.
FORMER RESIDENTS ORDER HERE
State That Quality and Price Are
More Reasonable Than In the
Capital City Why You
Should Buy at Home.

Apropos of the fight being made by
Washington merchants to attract
Christmas shoppers from Martinshurs
and neighboring cities by an offer OF
low prices. to refund railroad fares
etc. an interesting story was uncov-
cred here today by a representative
of The Evening Journal (Which pa
per. by the way, stuck to tie MAJ
tinsburg merchants and refused TO &C.
cept the Washington ,sdva,'Isehentl
who found that not only were nearly
all the home people bay.Eg at home,
but that several orders for goot.s had
been received in Martinsbrvg from
Washington people.
1t developed that several foiluer res
idents of Martinsburg wished 10 pur-
chase clothing, shirts, hats, collars,
cuffs, etc, and had made an inspection
of the stocks Of the stores in the cap
ital city. Not being satisfied With
either the quality of the goods or the
prices, they concluded to do business
with Martinsburg merchants, and sent
orders for three suits of clothes, three
overcoats, three hats, some dozen
pairs OF socks. shirts, collars, cuffs
etc, to a well-known local firm OF
clothiers. The total amount of the
orders was about 5000, and in writing
the Martinsburg firm the former res
idents OF this city stated that they
figured that they were saving at least
$25 on the transaction, after paying
all express charges. The gentlemen
who ordered the goods from this city
are at present employed in Washing
ton in the government service, but
knowing something of the value and
quality of the goods in stock here
were enabled to make comparison
that was decidedly favorable to Mar
tinsburg merchants.
This single instance is more elo-
quent In the argument for home buy
ing than columns of newspaper space
and serves to illustrate in strik-
ing manner the completeness Of the
stocks and the reasonableness of the
prices to be found here. There is nc
excuse for any Martinsburg or BerlIe-
ley county shopper to seek Washing
ton to do his buying save in excep-
tional cases, and The Evening Jour
nal is trying to impress this fact
upon the, minds of the public.
DO your buying at home, and save
both time and poney. # che Mar
tinsburg merchants haven't what you
want, they can easily get it.

Rudolph Spreckels, speaking for the

says that it was the intention of tho

President has got this thing Just twist
ed around. He says that the lynx in
my story killed the dog wolf. That
doesn't tend to show that he is such
a careful observer as the magazine
states. My story was about dog
wolf killing the lynx and eating the
body. up. 1 rather thing that this puts
Mr.. Roosevelt over a barrel so far as
his criticism goes. 1t shows that he
hasn't even read the story carefully"
He ought to be careful what he
says anyway" observed Mrs. London,
who had taken the magazine, read the
passage and made up her mind who
was right. 1t was evident that the
Great Teddy had gone down consid-
'erably in her estimation.
Mr.. London related several incidents
which came under his observation in
the far north of the fights of the
huskies. the wolf-dogs he had written
about, his stories being told in that
terse, graphic way which has made his
written tales SO popular. These
huskies are the filters of imported dogs
bred to wolves and are fierce and saw
age in their nature, relying. however,
on the assistance of the pack to worry
and kill whichever of the two is knock
ed down in the fight. In the actual
fighting one husky never kills another
and a stout bulldog is, in his opinion,
more than a match for any wolf-dog.
On his return from the Klondike, Mr..
London brought out one of these dogs
and 1t was his constant fear that the
animal would be killed by one of the
several bulldogs kent near his home
Referring to the general criticism his
books have been the subject of, he
said:
Customs and things are different in
different parts of the world. I was
written up once by a nautical critic
for mentioning certain detail of
working a ship, the critic stating that
what / had written showed my utter
ignorance of sailing. AS a matter of
fact the operation | described I had
done scores of times and the same was
the custom on all the sealers in the
North Pacific, although never done on
the Atlantic coast. The critic simply
thought he knew it all.
THE President may know all about
the wolves of Colorado, for have seen
him photographed with some he had
hunted and mighty little ones they
We're. but don't believe he knows
enough about the wolves and huskies
OF the Klondike to pose as an author

Customs differ, as the cook said as
he went forward to set the spinnaker.

frightened animal around to make the
turn into Militant street. Instead of
this, however, the maddened animal
dashed directly into the front wall of

collision was such that the neck ( the
