something happened. 1t was over
quicker than one could write it,
and the little boy lay very still
on the frozen ground. We car
ned him to neighboring house
and laid him on a couch. a great
gaping, ugly tear was in his leg
and the blood was gushing fear
iully. His little playmates clus-
tered about him frightened and
staring. But the little boy didn't
cry. Not he. with all his play
mates about him. Hurt. of course
it hurt. and he was frightened as
well, but he acted like a man,
bearing his burdens mutely
and alone. True, when father
came, the chin trembled and the
tears rolled down his white face,
but the playmateS never knew.
1t was an example of courage
that made one sit up and take
notice. 1t is out of such stuff as
this that men are made.
The other little boy, not quite
so little, but always frail and
wan. He had suffered with a
pain i'll his side few weeks ago
and had heard the surgeon say,
IF this ever recurS we must ope-
rate. He came home from
school Friday with a very hope
less look on his white face. The
pain again, he answered when
asked If he was sick. There was
much of tragedy in the answer.
He knew what it meant and was
afraid The surgeons were called
10 examine him and told the par

mediate operation,

waited the result of the conSulta-

And SO the surgeons put on their
white gowns and the nurses
rolled up their sleeves and the
little boy who aint very strong
went down into the valley of the

The Troubles of Charles Stump.

II am perfectly willing to be i'm
prisoned. / want to be checked In
some way, and suppose that is the
best way" Charles NJ. Stump, 20
years old, the son of Rev. j. 2.
Stump, pastor of the Southern Meth
odist Church in Luray, Va, stood be-
fore Justice Grammar in the Central
District Police Court, Baltimore, Tues
day morning and made the foregoing
remarks.
Stump was arrested on January II
on the charge of passing three forged
checks, in all amounting to $45.
When the young man was arraigned
before Justice Grammar he admitted
the charges, but the compliments who
had sworn out the warrants declined
to prosecute.
Rev. Mr.. Stump, the father Of the
young man, and one of his uncles,
who were present, were deeply affect
ed, and it was on the ministers &C.
count that the complainants deci ded
not to testify in the case. Young
Stump did not want his son sent to
prison on the charge of forgery, SO
when the complainant declined to
prosecute, Justice Grammar said;
Young man, l believe you will be
benefited if you are put IN come In
stitution for a while. As you have
been arrested before on some minor
charges, l will change this charge OF
forgery to leading a habitually dlsor-
derby course of life and sentence you
to six months in the House Of Correc.
ton. You are young yet and have a
chance to reclaim yourself. Serve
your sentence and come out of the In
stitution with a determination to do
better. If you are really In earnest
and determined you will find those
who will assist you"
Young Stump, whose family is well
connected in Berkeley county, was
recently arrested in Martinsburg for
passing worthless checks.

A NaHigable Stream.


II will be news to most persons to
learn that the Potomac river at Shep-
herdstown is a navigable stream in
the opinion of the United ,tates Gov
eminent, yet such seems to be the
case. A hundred years ago there was
considerable business between Shep-
herdstown and Georgetown on the
river, traffic being conducted By
means of fat boats, which were help
ed along down stream and afterward
laboriously urged up stream by means
of poles set against the shoulders OF
the sturdy boatmen. In paper now
before us, printed in 1917, James
Bell advertises his line of four boats
In good order carrying merchandise
between Shepherdstown and Ale1an-
dria by way of Georgetown, and re-
fers to his warehouse on the bank Of
the river at this place where there
was room to store many hundreds Of
barrels of -four. There was at that
time regular water communication
between these places. Channels were
kept in good order, and where neces-
sary lodges of rock had been blasted
out so as to give sufficient depth for
the passage of the boats. At the
Great Falls of the Potomac, above
Washington, a canal with locks were
used to get the boats around the falls.
No bridge may be built across a
navigable stream without permission
of the government, and though no
boats save little skiffs now cleave the
waters of the Potomac, even a great
railroad company must make it clear
that navigation will not be impeded
by its improvements The Norfolk
& Western Railway, we feel assured,
will not seriously interfere with water
traffic, as It's new bridge will be over
hundred feet above the stream.
Nevertheless, it must comply with the
law, hence the following report of an
item OF business in Congress last Mon.
day:
Senator Raynor introduced a bill to
authorize the Norfolk and Western
Railway Company to construct bridge
across the Potomac river at or near
Shepherdst wn, W. Va, where the Po-
tomac river forms the boundary line
between West Virginia and Maryland,
in accordance with provisions Of the
Act of March %, 1906, regulating con
struction of bridges over navigable
waters. The proposed act is TO be null
unless the actual construction Of the
bridge is begun within two years and,
completed within three years after
passage of the act. Representative
Pearre, of Maryland, introduced an
identical bill to this on the House side.
