 Do you suppose-"she began, flush ing until her cheeks must have tin gled, "do you suppose that you could fasten these? Oh, you don't know how sorry I am to ask this, but I'm so anxious to be ready in time and
 oh, do you really think you can!"
 German wasn't sure he could, but he was willing to try. Beauty ill distress always did appeal to him, and he got busy hooking up her waist. Just at his busiest moment, as his clumsy fingers fumbled with the but tons, he heard a scream, and the young lady pulled away. Looking up he saw about the craziest looking young man he had seen in a lifetime who began to get busy at once. So this is why you couldn't come to the parlor where I have been waiting for the past hour" he shot at her, its rather interesting up here and lot of other sarcastic remarks Let me explain" said German, tits this way. Its this way" began the young man, If you don't fade away you will have a ride in an ambulance" German again started with "its this way when the young lady exclaimed, You brute! haven't you created enough trouble without creating more!' Cor man slowly and sadly edged away to the tune of this parting remark of the young man, You have broken my
 heart, our engagement is at an end.
 Then the young lady began to cry
 Well of all that's good if that doesn't
 beat the devil" though German, "and
 the worst part of it is, if my sweet
 heart ever hears this story, there will be another broken heart and it will

Then she turned her eyes toward German q beg your pardon she began, hesitatingly, evidently greatly distressed at being obliged to address stranger, "but have you seen any thing of the maid?'
 l German was compelled to confess that he hadn't seen anything of a maid, at least not for some time.
 Dear, oh dear,' murmured the lit tie woman, ''I sent the bell boy for 6 maid fully half an hour ago. l don1 know what shall do unless she comes pretty soon."
 German listened, open eyed, won tdering. He couldn't dope it out wh, the absence of maid should be matter of such great moment.
 My friends are waiting for mt down in the parlor right now th' young woman added, by way of ex planation. "If I can't get hold of maid pretty soon, shall have to mis my dinner engagement. I shall be oh awfully disappointed

Ministers of England
 Have Healing Powers

London, Dec. 12.-Not to be sur passed by Christian scientist and to show that the minister of the church of England possess the same healing powers as the followers fo Mrs. Eddy, the Bishop of London has decided to appoint a Central Church Council" in London for the consideration of questions connected with the healing by spiritual means. The idea is to appoint a council which will have influence not only with believers but with men of science as well. The council will strictly investigate cases of faith healing and report on them for the benefit of others. One Of Lon don's best known female physicians, Miss E. M. Reed, M. D., who is now specializing in mental and spiritual healing and who is collaborating with eminent medical authorities, is on the point of opening "house for spirit ual healing" which will at the same time be in harmony with the teaching
 
 of the Church of England and will have several leading physicians as constituents. Speaking of Mrs. Eddy and her followers, Dr. Reed said; Christian Science absolutely fails to recognize physical laws. It is based on the knowledge, that mental states control to large extent physical con- ditions. That is true. but 1t is not the whole truth, You cannot cure by suggestion alone, neither can you cure without it. The principle of the new movement is a same combination of the powers of faith and exact medical knowledge applied to the problems of healing"

The milestone Me mortal.

The undersigned takes this opper-
tunity to express his hearty thanks IA
those friends who so kindly helped
him In the matter of placing the Mill
stone, upon solid concrete pedestal
In "Bath Square," This is an undoubt-
ed relic of the great inventors labor III
this yicinity, 1882.
1t will always be matter of proud
satisfaction to these public spirited cit
liens to remember that they have been
ms rumeptal in erecting the first me-
mortal in the world of James Rumsey
the great inventor, the great benefac-
tor, in the very locality in which he
thought out, and wrought out that
great idea of steam navigation.
Thoroughly inadequate and humble
as This unfinished burr stone may be
to i'erpetuate the mem Try of t. is great
mechanical genius, it is nevertheless
the only token in existence that James
Rumsey the revolutionary soldier of
whom George Washington was the
life long friend, was once prominent
citizen from 1888 to 1855 of that famous
watering place Bath, or Warm
Springs, now Berkeley Springs. He
was one ofthe earliest merchants lin
company with Nicholas Orrick.) He
operated the first hotel partnership
with Throckmorton 1776.) For these
and greater reasons it is most
fitting that his memory should be pre-
served i this locality and all the more
SO, that he was of high moral chara c.
ter, of strict integrity. 1t pays to pre-
serve the memory OF such man

Bad Wreck.

There was bad wreck on the B. 4
o. at Buffers curve about one mile
west of Kearreysville on last Friday
merning about 4.30 In which two men,
both of this city, M.ssrs. Bas F.
Smith, conductor, and Clcgg Kepling-
err. brakeman, were badly injured. The
track was blocked for several hours
and the trains were delayed until the
track was cleared.
The wreck occurred by a freight
train running into another going up
the grade. The rear tram was pulled
by engine 2642 run by c. E. Riley and
pushed by helper 1917 l.. l.. Drifting
engineer and front train was drawn by
engine 264S and pushed by helper 1918.
Conductor Smith and brakeman
keplinger were in their caboose when
the crash came and did not have time
to escape. Both men were stand ding at
the time and their inju ries W ere coil
fined to their feet
They were both brought to this city
and taken to the Kings Daughters
hospital.
Brakeman Keplinger, who reside on
Liberty street, had both bones OF his
left leg badly fractured above the an
kle and the top of the right foot crush
ed below the instep. The physicians
have strong hope of saving the foot and
leg.
The case of Conductor Smith, who
resides on West King street, is more
serious than that of his companion.
H1ssleft heel was bursted, though it
can be saved. but his right foot was
SO crushed that it had to be amputat-
ed above the ankle. The operation was
performed by the railroad compaHy's
resident surgeons, Drs. Myers and
Henshaw.

Candidate william Ii. Taft.

We see in the Boston Herald, of
August s, that Mr.. Taft (notwith :
standing his weight of some three hun
dred pounds) rode on blackboard
forty lies in West Virginia TO attend
horse show, which we presume as
usual included horse races, with the ac-
companying bets, and that in the
evening he led the german at the hotel.
1t may be gratifying to various PEG pie
who meet in the summer at Newper TT
Bar Harbor and Saratoga Springs to
learn these facts, but we are not aware
that either Lincoln, Grant or fisherman
ever went forty miles to see h orse
race, on The contrary, we know that
Grant absolutely refused TO ever attend
any such race, and we are quite sure
that neither Lincoln, Grant, or Sher-
man ever led the german at any hotel
or anywhere.

(, true Of Methedists, Catholics, Luther
ans, OF any denomination, in fact. it
becomes nothing less than dumping
| ground of the other churches. The
chief creed of Unitarians is TO reject
Christ, in fact, Mr.. Taft's minister
says he does not know if the Secretary
of War believes in Christ or not. This
being tie condition Mr.. Taft does not
exemplify the christians spirit.
This nation has long boosted of btlhg
christian nation and many time do
the christian churches ask Gods bless
ing OF the head Of tho nation | fear
that 1t would oe nothing more than
crime to place in the presidential chair
a man who rejects God son and then
ask Almighty Gsd to bless the head Of
our nation, We do not wish to draw
religion into politics, we should not
object to any man who is a mernber of
some christian ; church, but we do
think that no christian can conseen-
tiously support Mr.. Taft, for in sup
porting him you are rejecting Christ
for whom and his cause you promised
to stand when you united with His
church.
Voters there is something higher
than being Democrat and Repub-
lican. This nation should have at its
head man who would stand out as
one Of the greatest characters of the
rulers of the nations Of the earth, and
certainly it is the christian duty of
every man processing faith in Christ
to see to it that infideIity is not en-
throned in this country, and we hope
that the American voters Will prove
equal to the occasion and on next
election day in November will rise as
an avalanche and bury with their bal
lots Mr.. VIM. H. Taft.
Mr.. Taft knowing thess conditions
should not expect Bible reading Eeo-
pie to vote for him. On public ques.
tions Mr.. Taft has net been frank. He
has lodged the issues on many occa-
sions. He has given such answers as
these; "That is question that should
be thoroughly investigated 81 under
stand you have had considerable dis
cussion along that line" "Personally
l favor It, but it is hardly an issue"
and "God knows.u No man has q

have always been Republican aud
especially Roosevelt Republican, but
in the light of this.campaign I consid-
er it nay duty to rise higher than party
and throw off the fake yoke Of Taft
which is not in true keeping with the
Roosevelt policies, because Taft is not
a man of the Roosevelt Type, and sup

years, airships will be carrying pas
sengefs across the ocean in Is hours at
the rate Of 200 miles an hour. He said
the North Pole would be reached in q

He stated that neither the acceptance
now owned by the Wright brothers OF
any airship built along that principle,
nor along the idea OF the dirigibie bal
loon, would ever be of practical use or
success commercially. He serted that
the proper idea had not been worked
