Local Correspondence.

Messrs. C. M. Gall, Martin L. Groshor
and John D. Hornbaker are among the
physically afflicted and in the care of the
M. Drs. at present.
Of course to be profitable enterprise
the w., F. & G. road must hug close thu
foot hills of the Blue Ridge from Lewis,
town to Mt. St. Mary's. Who for mo-
ment ever doubt that? Besides Thur
mont and Mt. St. Mary's nearly con-
tinuous village stretches the whole dis
lance.
Among the jolly and enjoyable sleigh
ing parties within the past week was the
composed of Messrs. Clay Putnam ano
Harvey Willhide and their young better
halfs, who on Sunday evening with double
team drove up through Owens Greek
gap to the hospitable home of Josiah E.
Willhide where they were cordially re-
ceived and shown one of the most pleas
urable evenings of their lives. The re-
turn trip was made between nine and ter
o'clock and through ten degree above
temperature but the clever and jolly
quartet did not mind that and are wishing
for continuation Of the ideal sleighing
we are now and have been enjoying fol-
the past week or more.
After protracted visit with relatives
in town, mainly with her uncle, d. r.
Rouzer and family, Miss Rhoda Scott has
returned to her home in Philipsburg, Pa.
For Thurmont and its environments,
the native place of her parents, grand,
parents, sisters and brothers, Miss Rhoda
Scott has somewhere in her makeup a
warm spot. This together with her de-
votion for her kindred here and the lat
ters tender kindnesses in return made
her sojourn in our midst altogether en-.
joyable and lovely. ''Rhoda has gone
home; indeed she was such good company
for me and we enjoyed her presence here
so much that thought 1t would kill m.
when she left" remarked Miss Jessie
Rouzer, after her departure.

THE QUEST OF BEAUTY.
~Makins Up" Is a Very Ancient Femi-
nine Art.

Making up" as applied to the ap-
pearance, is by no means as modern
an art as many people imagine.
In the days of Roman supremacy
the women tinted their eyebrows with
black In emulation Of "ox eyed Venus"
They painted their faces, sprinkled
themselves with perfume and even
wore false hair or tinted their own
locks in accordance with the prevail
ing fashion.
The Greek ladies of the same period
employed maids who rubbed out their
mistress wrinkles, decorated" her
face with red and white paint and
darkened her eyebrows. 1t was then
also the fashion to coat the face with
white of egg and goose grease to pro-
tect 1t from the sun and wind. 1t Is
even said that they had a recipe for
turning blue eyes to black.
These fashions all had their origin
in Italy, where in later years the no
torious Lucrezia Borgia Is said to have
dyed her hair different colors, accord
ing to her fancy Of the moment.
In England in the eighteenth CEN

Coventry, died from the effects of

Hitting the Pipe.

When Jones got home the other night
he found the family in panic and the
house being flooded from a burst water
pipe. The first thing he did was to
seold bis wife for not having sense
enough to go down to the cellar and
hammer up the supply pipe to prevent
the water from escaping. Then he
went downstairs and was soon heard
hammering vigorously. After some
minutes strenuous work, giving one
last mighty blow, he asked, How is It

There Is no difference in the flow Of
the water" his wife calmly replied.
"but as the light has gone out very

THE JUDGE 'AND THE VRAGo

Many Modern Versions-

An Ancient. Joke Of Which There Are
Many Modern versions
The following tale was translated
from a very old Chinese book for Col
lier's Weekly:
A certain magistrate upon opening
his court observed one Of his lictors
whose face was covered with wounds
and asked him what was the matter.
Replied the lictor, Yesterday evening
was reclining and enjoying the fresh
afr under my grape arbor, which was
suddenly upset by gust of wind and
fell on me and caused these injuries"
But the Judge was skeptical and
said: THAT is too thin. 1t is easy to
zee that the marks ON your face are
from scratches from nails, II must be
that you have had a row with your
wife and got clawing from her. Is
this not so?'
The lictor crimsoned all over and re-
piled, "Your honor has truly guessed
It"
Then said the judge: "Why is your
wife so fierce as this? Wait till sum
mon her and give her beating and
you your revenge"
While he was yet speaking the judges
own wife suddenly came out from the
house and fiercely said, "Who is this
you are going to beatT'
The magistrate hastily announced to
the lictors and ting ch'ai It's: "This
court stands. adjourned. Disperse in
stantly. 1t seems as though the courts
grape arbor is also about to collapsew
