Splinter Off the Coronation Chair

Dean Buckland when at Westmin
ster used to tell curious story of e
brown paper parcel which he received
one day by post. After many wrap
pings had been unfolded he found a
small black splinter of oak about an
inch and half long. The writer OF
the unsigned note accompanying the
parcel said that when he was boy
many years before, he had Clipped the
splinter off the coronation chair. AS
age advanced, his conscience grew
troublesome, and he asked the dean
to be kind enough to restore the splin.
ter to its place.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Oregon Anqler's Luck.

The most remarkable fishing story
brought to this, city for some time
comes through the reliable authority
OF Ski Meek. a Coburg angler, who
asserts he caught five doubles. That
is, with several hooks on his line, he
caught two fish at once five times
All were trout and hooked within a
rather short space Of time.
They were caught in the Mckenzie

Mrs. Albrecht has been a black.
smith for two years. She came to the
aid Of her husband when he was un-
able to accomplish all the work that
he had to do and yet could not afford
the pay Of an assistant. Mrs. Al
brecht, although new to the work,
caught the trick of it so we'll that
many of her husbands customers have
insisted that she do the jobs they
bring. For this reason she remains in
the smfthy, although, with her aid,
Albrecht has prospered so we'll that
he now employs two assistant black
smiths and wagon repairers. She used
to be in the shop from early morning
till sunset, but now she passes only q
few hours there every day.
Mrs. Albrecht does not regard her
trade as unusual for woman.
1T seemed the only thing to d." she
said. my husband needed help and
80 helped him. I used to notice peo-
pie stopping to watch me as they pass
ed, but I soon forgot was attracting
attention. There's no reason in the
world why women shouldn't be black
smiths If they're strong enough to
WELD the tools. There's no more skill
required for it than for good many
tasks in housework, and practice
makes perfect, you know"
The woman blacksmith's costume is
not at all indicative of her amazonic
profession. At the anvil Mrs. Albrecht
wears an old dark short skirt and a
Bingham dressing sacque with low,
frilled collar and sleeves cut off above
the elbow. Her forearms are well de-
veloped through. her use of the heavy
tools. She says that she likes tho
work and that she will continue at It
as long as there is demand for her
services.

transacted in the closing days of the JEFF
ferson Circuit Court:
The jury in the action for damages
brought by William Lowry against the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company by
reason of personal injuries alleged to
have been sustained while alighting from
a train at Kearneysville in July, 1910, re-
turned verdict of $64O, which is sub
iect to the ruling of the court on a de-
murrer to the evidence filed by the de-
fendant company.
H. H. Mccormick, commissioner OF
school lands, asked the court to nix upon
a date for him TO make a settlement oil
his accounts as commissioner, and there
upon the February term was designated
as such time.
Zeph Bane, ST., VS.. Harry Bane, OBJ
| lection of plaintiff to filing of special plea
by defendant was sustained, and excep-
tons to the ruling was taken, and leave
given for thirty days TO defendant TO
amend and file an amended plea.
Judgment of the court was suspended
for ninety days to give the plaintiff in the
action of Shipley's Administrator VS.. The
County Court time to apply for a writ OF
error in the Supreme Court of Appeals.
F. R. McQuiIkin, Administrator of
Emily Koontz, VS.. w. |. Boone, H. E.
Muadey and J. D. Billmyer, leave given
plaintiff TO file special replication to the
defendants plea within thirty days from

victed upon trial, and was sentenced to
the penitentiary for term OF three years.
E. A. Robinson, indicted for stealing
cattle, and William Goens, under indict-
ment for the murder of Samuel Kirby at
Myerstown July last, through their attor-
neys asked for a postponement OF tria
until February, on account OF absence OF
witnesses who would testify in their be-
half. The action for continuance was
granted in both cases.
The trial of Bird Washington, Harvey
Johnson, John Newman, Robert and
James Thornton was also continued upon
the same ground, that Of the absence of
material witnesses. Robert Thornton
and Harvey Johnson were released on a
bond OF $500 in each case, and the other
prisoners jointly indicted with them may
be released in vacation whenever they
furnish to the clerk of the court bonds in

Fined For Fast Driving.

Roy Hooe, a Charles Town automo-
bilist who is said to be a very reckless
driver, had trouble near Shepherdstown
a few days ago. He was driving at ex-
cessive speed along one of the roads
north OF town, when he came near caus-
ing an accident to Robert Emory, and a
warrant was sworn out for Hooe'S arrest.
He was tried before Magistrate Rentch,
whereupon he plead guilty and was lei
off with a fine Of $40 and costs. tits said
that this is not the first time that Hooe
has been in trouble for reckless driving
with his automobile, and it is hoped that
this may serve as a lesson to him. Al
the same time, there are a few persons
who drive horses along the public roads
who likewise need lesson, for they are
utterly Indifferent to the rights OF auto
mobilists. The law gives automobiles
privileges on the roads, and drivers OF
these machines are entitled to as much
protection as the drivers of other We
hicles.

AVOID HARSH DRUGS.
Many Cathartics Tend to Cause In
jury to tho Bowels.

II you are subject to constipation, you
should avoid strong drugs and catharticS.
They only give temporary relief and their
reaction is harmful and sometimes more
annoying than constipation. They in no
way effect a cure and their tendency is to
weaken the already weak organs with
which they come in contact.

best constipation treatment ever devised.

. Hagerstown controversv.

We have received from the directors Of
the Hagerstown fair copy of a report OIL
the committee to make statement relative
to the differences between the fair asso-
citation and the newspapers of Hagerstown.
The newspapers claimed that the direc-
tors sent out of town printing that could
have been done at home, and the Hagers-
town Mail was very severe and unfair in
its attacks upon the fair management,
making some very malicious charges
against the officers. The statement re-
ferred to presents the directors side Of
the matter. They show that no printing
was sent out of town that could be done
there nothing except lithographing -
but admit that a job printing office in the
city was given the contract for printing
the catalogue of the fair for the very good
reason that its price was exactly $lCO
less than the lowest newspaper bid. We
have no wish to take part in this contro-
versy, but we do not hesitate to express
our opinion in compliance with requests
from friends on the board Of directors.
We think that the directors are hardly to
be blamed for conducting the affairs OF
this big concern in accordance with bus
mess methods; and the fact that they have
stopped great many leaks, while per-
haps not agreeable to those who have
been profiting thereby, is evidence that
they are doing their duty. The truth is.
il such men as the president, DR.. ]. Nc
Pherson Scott, Vice-President VIM. H.
Armstrong, Secretaries D. H. Staley and
Palmer Tenant, Treasurer Daniel w.
Reichard and the other able and respect
able gentlemen who compose the board
of directors are not to be trusted TO man
age the fair wisely and honestly, then the
stockholders will lave to 60 out OF Wash
ington county to find those who will do
better. We cannot say how the newspa-
pers of Hagerstown may have been treat
ed by the management, but we can bear
full testimony to unfailing courtesy and
great generosity so far as the Register is
concerned.

A Gentle Hint.

n NChtiC iiRhts
In neighboring town few evenings
ago a sixteen-year- old girl, who was in
the habit of meeting the trains at the
railroad station, where she flirted with
the trainmen and passengers, succeeded
in landing beau. She gaily consented
when he asked if he could walk home
with her. Her newly-formed acquain-
lance asked to be led to her home, and
arriving there boldly rang the bell. Her
mother came to the door, and Mr.. Trav-
cling Man delivered a short lecture
something like this: MADAM, here's your
little girl; picked her up at the depot, a
place where girl of her age should moi
20 alone, unless on business. have
daughter at home about the age of this
one. am away from home a great deal
and don't know for certain whether my
daughter meets the trains or not, but il
she does | hope someone will do that
which | have done for you-take her
home to her mother"
