Officers Of American Salvation Army
Visit Town.
From The World OF Wednesday:
Capt. James H. Marshall and Lieut.
G. l.. Storm of the American Salvation
Army came here yesterday from Fred.
erick, Md, where they are stationed
to collect the aims boxes LETT here a
couple months ago. They left town
this afternoon. The gentlemen feel
very grateful to ali who contributed
to their cause in money or otherwise.
The 90 boxes averaged about Is cents
a piece, or some ten dollars. and other
contributions increased the amount
to about 81 This sum, the officers
said, will be expended for a Christmas
dinner for the poor OF Frederick and
some towns in West Virginia. Martins.

THE POOR WE HAVE WITH US.

For sometime past there have been,
At various places throughout the city,
small collection boxes placed by the
American Salvation Army for the pur-
pose of obtaining money for Christ
mas dinner for the poor children.
It developes that this money. while
collected in Martinsburg, for a lcuG-
able purpose, will not be expected
here, but will be expended at the head
quarters OF this army and at other
places designated by them.
Martinsburg has quite a number Of
poor who could be made happy with a
Christmas dinner if this same amount
of money should be spent here. We
can see no reason why Martinsburg
should be called upon to contribute
toward the support and care OF the
poor of other places when we have
the poor always with US.
There is no criticism against those
who are charitably disposed, but there
is an old addage that charity begins
at home, and If there is any donation
from any one in this community IL
should go to some one of the local T.
CARNATIONS where it viii be expende
for the care of cur own Too fire.
quently are We called upon to ntrih.
ute toward funds which are used for
other than local purposes, Martins.
burg scarcely ever receives any helm
from the outside, and while We are
not selfish, yet at the same time
there should be some way by when
our poor should receive as great bene-
Git as the poor of other places receive
srom these liberal donations.

NEW ROUTE FOR 3. & o.
Output Of West Virginia Mines to Be
Handled Through Pittsburg.

'fGh1iCb sfUch9i FtttoAdtAs
improvements to cost approximate
ly 1000, 600 win be made By the B.
& o. in connection with the radical
change in the handling of West Vir-
GINA coal to the lakes. 1t is expected
that some of the new tracks will be
laid in time to make the new routing
possible by the opening of lake navi-
gation next year. All of the tonnage
will pass through the Pittsburg dis
trict and the main line tonnage from
Connellsvilse will be greatly increased.
Plans have been prepared for double
tracking the line from Grafton,
through Fairmont into Connellsville
The improveme in the Fairmont
district alone, ii is said, will represent
an expenditure OF approximately
81, 030,0 900 while a similar sum will be
spent for laying additional track and
enlarging some of the yards. Here
tofore the company sent all the West
Virginia coal through Wheeling to the
lakes, but the officials claim that they
can make much better progress by
handling this tonnage through Coa-
ncllsville.

THE MASCOT
BY MADAME sEvERiNE

There was once in Brittany a young
lad who was not much favored by for
tune.
He was cabin by on board fishing
smack, the Dounce Anne, and, like all
cabin boys. received more kicks than
tips
He had not soul belonging 70
him, and the only people he knew
were the skipper, Yves Kerion, and
crew OF the Dounce Annie. His mother
having erred and gone astray, died in
Saint Briene Hospital on presenting
him to the world.
From the charity institute, where
he was first reared, ne went to a
farm in the suburbs OF Lamballe.
where he earned his scanty living by
taking sheep out to pasture
But one fine day when he was 70
years OF age the farmer took him to
sale OF sheep at st. Jean-de-le-mar.
where for the first time he saw the
sea-and straightway fell in love with
It.
1t so happen that the skipper of a
fishing vessel required a cabin boy.
and Jeane Pierre was engaged in that
capacity. Joyfully he shook the dust
OF Mother Earth from his feet and fol.
lowed Yves kerion, who set sail that
evening and steered his boat toward
st. Malo.
The skipper was rather too fond OF
liquor, and after he had irnbibed more
brandy or cider than was good for
him he would insist on others taking
his example, and then there were live.

Jean would always pass his share
OF liquor on TO the others, beneath
the table. and then made several
friends, who then did not kick him
about so much. At last the shippers
wife took him under her wing and
showed him considerable kindness.
But what the poor little fellow re.
CURED and longed for were love AMI
affection, of which he had always
been deprived.
One evening, when the vessel had
put into strange port. and he was
free to go ashore and wander where
he pleased. he had an adventure.
Oh, don't imagine it was some ex-
traordinary event He merely found
a dog, a nondescript mongrel, neither
large nor small, but just the sort of
dog We OFTEN come across and some
times carry off. The poor, lost cres-
ture was locking for master, and
Jean Pierre for something to love, SO
they adopted one another.
Only the next day they embarked,
and when Yves Kerion saw the dog
hidden among heap of nets for the
night he pounced on the cabin boy and

swore he saw her under the influence

kitchen and said she was angry and
excited, and asked him many trifling
questions about himself.
