Why the Famous Critics Hands Were
Still Soiled After a Bath

Why the Famous Critics Hands Were
Still Soiled After Bath.
A correspondent Of the Boston Her
aid says that remark attributed to
the late Sully Prudhomme was made
originally by the famous and eccentric
literary and dramatic critic, Gustave
blanche, who died in Paris in Septem-
Der, 1857. For long time 1t was
thought that he slept in the public
streets, and he himself took pleasure
In giving credit to this report.
"Where are you lodging?" some one
asked him.
81 don't LODGE" he replied; 81 perch"
sand where"
Champs Elysees, third tree to the
right"
Another anecdote of blanche is that,
being once invited to dine with q cele-
brated actress, Annias or Nine. Dorval,
he arrived before the company.
my goodness, Planche," cried the
hostess, what figure you cut! Go
take bath, beg. Here is ticket"

Order of the Golden Horseshoe.

Order OF the Golden Horseshoe.
How many persons have ever heard
Of the Order of the Golden Horseshoe,
the first order founded in America?
In 1924, when Virginia extended
from the Atlantic into the unknown
west, few of her colonists had crossed
the Blue Ridge or the Alleghanies. So
full Of dangers from savages and wild
beasts and 80 full Of natural difficult
ties was the passage of these terrible
heights that Governor Spotswood, set
ting out to discover q pass, looked on
the expedition as so hazardous that he
took with him a guard Of soldiers,
gentlemen and pioneers" armed and
carrying provisions. These scaled the
pass with great hardships and perils
and returned after the governor had
cut the name of King George in the
rocks on the highest peak.
He then constituted the society, or
order, of the Golden Horseshoe. Each
man who had scaled this high pass was
made member of 1t, and to each one
he presented golden horseshoe. On
the side was inscribed In Latin, $50 1t
Pleases Him to Cross Mountains"
Any man thereafter who could prove
that he had read with his own eyes the
name Of the king on the height was en-
titled to become member Of this or
der.-Chicago Record-Herald.

THE TREE FAKIR

Our old fiend, the tree fakir has
taken the road again. He is work
ing in towns and cities. He usual
ly pretends to be employed by the
United States government or the
State Experiment Station. He
looks at trees, notifies the owners
that borers or scales are at them,
and that the law compels treat
ment. Then he offers to do it fol-
them with some new remedy at SIS
or more per gallon. These rascals
find plenty of victims-some Of
them lawyers or others who are
good at catching other swindlers
No government officer is permitted
to charge for examining trees, and
not one of them is permitted to sell
materials for spraying. When any
man pretends to do either, and also
claims to be a government expert
he proves himself swindler.
Drive him right off the place and
do not buy any of his stuff Win

THE NEW DRUG LAW

Our recent legislature put the
board of pharmacy right up to the
front, providing an apartment in
the capitol building and giving it
$4,000 for support, etc. On Friday
last the law became effective and
under it no physician will be allow
ed to make any charge for any
medicine supplied any of his pa
tents. In prescribing narcotics,
opium, morphia or similar articles
the physician must put on the pre-
scription the full name and address
of the patient and sign it with his
full name.
To sell cocaine is now a felony,
punishable by Imprisonment in the
penitentiary. The possession OF
cocaine is regarded as prima facie
evidence of selling except that it
may be handled by druggists, ply
sicians, dentists and veterinary
surgeons.
Country merchants should study
this, part of the law: In original
package only can be sold tincture
of iron, quinine, calomel, sweet
spirits of nitre, cream of tartar,
laudanum in packages not over two
ounces and proprietary medicines,
but the label on the latter must
contain distinct statement of the
disease or diseases for which it is
intended and the directions for it's
use.-If it contains any poisons the
label must show the quantity. This
applies to druggists as well.
In broken packages they may
sell alum, sulphur, borax, cooperas,
saltpeter and Epson salts, each
package to have on label it's con-
tents and the name and address of
merchants selling.
The board will grant permits to
merchants to sell for one year the
following, which cannot be sold
without permits and which can even
then be sold only in original pack
ages, Bateman's drops, Godfrey's
Cordial, Devices Carminative,
Opedel Dock, Number Six, Blue
Stone, Paris Green, London Pur-
Pile, carbolic acid and insecticides
or poisons used for destruction of
pests or diseases of trees and plants.

II Mli be weitehIs heel 10 ths
people of. Augusta touhfy ahd ad-
jacent territory to know that the
prospects are good for the erection
of railway from Mt. Scion to
Deerfeld. Mr.. w. G.. Craig and
son, Mr.. NJ. M. Craig, of Deerfeld
have just returned from New York
City, where thev held a long con-
ference with w. E. d. Stokes, own
er of the Chesapeake Western rail-
road, running from Elkton to
Stokesville, with a view. to extend
ing the line to Deerfeld.
1t is stated that the conference
was most favorable one and ex-
pressed sure confidence that the
road would be erected as desired.
This road now runs from Elkton to
Stokesville, a distance Of forty-one
miles and the proposition is to ex-
tend it into the timber lands about
Deerfeld, distance of about TWEEN
ty miles.
Mr.. Stokes is said to be the only
individual owner of railroad sys-
tenn in the country. He has been
shown the benefits to be derived
from running the line through this
section of the county and it is al
most an assured fact that at an
early date the road will be estab-
lished.
The chief incentive is the vast
expanse Of timber land in Augusta
and Bath, a large portion of which
is the property of Judge l.. c. Bar
ley, of Alexandria who alone owns
40 900 acres. The access to this
property has been poor and the
country in that section has remain
ed undeveloped and largely desert
ed.
1t will readily be seen that rail
way running through this section
connecting Bath, Augusta, and
Rockingham, will tend rapidly to-
wards developing the country and
towards settling a hitherto thinly
populated district. 1t will further
mean a great deal to owners of
timber lands, giving them a ready
access by rail to the heart of the
forests.
The question of such a road has
been agitated for some years but at
no time were the prospects so
bright as at present, and it is be-
lieved that definite steps will soon
be taken towards establishing the
line.

A Financial Episode.


A Milwaukee business man stepped

The Chinese LANGUAGE.

ancient tradition makes 1t out that the

Away back iii The heart u the hills,
In the glorious county of Highland
There nestles quietly on two rils,
A village that beats the band.
Just when this town was started,
No one seems to have ever said,
AS the founder long since departed,
Leaving no monument in his stead.
The village is small in population,
But it has glorious heritage,
AS everyone there claims relation,
And all live to a ripe old age
"A stranger is always struck with delight
And is sure of never going wrong
If he is at all deficient in sight,
He says, Hello! Hiner, Jones or Armstrong.
One thing sure you can always tell,
If not you will learn it soon,
After the sound of the dinner bell,
There are busy times in the dnin' room.
Gastronomy is not the only recreation
Which interests the people of Doe Hill,
AS they are the proudest in creation,
There must always be money in the till.
For beautiful girls the town is unique,
Way back ever since can remember,
They are all of them, so to speak,
Like peaches in september.
There is fashion galore in this town,
Which you can find there any day,
Just as stylish and handsome gown,
AS can be made by Nine Demore.
In culture, music literature and art
But very few towns can excel
Yet these are only small part
Of what her people love to tell.
Laying all jests and jokes aside,
And coming down to serious things,
| could not say what may betide,
All that my memory brings
God never fashioned lovelier scene
Than the hills around this town,
They always shed golden sheen,
Just as the sun goes down.
AS l watch those lingering rays,
There come to me solemn thought,
That where spent my childhood days,
| should rest when my work is wrought
For the choicest place on this earth,
Shall tell you the name of the spot?
It's right around the family hearth,
Where fate first cast our lot
