A NATURAL WONDER. |
The DEVILS Race Course In the Blue
Eidae Mountains.

The DEVILS Race Course In the blus
Eidqe Mountains.
'Tbe Blue Ridge mountains abound
In natural wonders" observed an old
resident Of Penmar. Most wonderful
Of them all, In my opinion, Is the Dew
MS Race Course. which is but a short
walk from Penniar. 3-ffLtf
AT first view this strange natural
phenomenon appears like broad
roadway OF great stones which ex-
tends away up the mountain In a path
no human hand could ever build.
Many Of these great stones weigh
tons. while others are only few hun.
dredweigBt Lying close together by
the thousand, they present an extraor-
dinary spectacle.
Tradition has II and scientists agree
this strange track was the bed Of an
ancient river. The conclusion is drawn
from the looks of the stones. They
are all well rounded and worn smooth,
showing the action of water, which
had polished their rough edges no
doubt for centuries. 4s
'But the mystery is IL this theory be
true to explain how the great body OF
water was confined at the sides. for
the course Is not hemmed in byfhigh
banks, nor is It located in ravinc.
In fact, it stands somewhat higher
than the natural side OF the mountain.
The puzzle only intensifics interest In
the queer place and multiplies the ar
guments and theories of its prehistoric
rigin."-Baltimor American.

turns upon the investment of money,
the inspectors abstract dozen or so
of the incoming letters from the mail,
get the names and addresses of the
writer's and then reseal the letters and
permit them to be delivered.
The next move for the inspectors Is
20 visit the persons whose names and
addresses were taken from the letters
and to get from them the correspond

cern. With this the inspectors make
case and either cause the arrest OF
the dishonest persons or cause a

is in the shape of a generously large
box of luscious grapes directly from
the rich vineyards OF Mt. Angel.
Judge Bushey received the box while
he was setting in his office with feet
piled high on the desk thinking OF
what to get for dinner, but when that
likely looking box was laid at his
feet by the expressman, the honorable
Judge put this appendage under the
table and took notice. After taking a
look about, the judge started back to-
ward his sanctum when a Journal re-
porter chanced ohail him with the

ey and with a knowing wink the
father of Marion county went steal
thily back to the office closely tagged
by the festive reporter. With the
same skittish actions, Judge Bushey
lifted the precious box under his arm
getting a good hold, galloped off up
in the uper story of the court house.
When the top OF the last stairway was
reached Judge Bushey grew pale

of the finest grapes ever grown on
