A Iiouid Call.

A story about two members of tho
English polo team, Captain Hardness
Lloyd and Captain II. III. Wilson. was
narrated with much amusement last
month i'm New York.
The two young men-so the story
runs-werc expected az certain
country house on the Hudson during
the hot weather. Their hostess had
composed with great care program
for them-a program beginning with
a cool bath after their journey and
running on through a motor ride, an
opon-air luncheon. game of bridge,
tea, etc.-and Immediately on their ar
rival the program was put in opera.
ton.
Il know how fond you Englishmen
are OF bathing" the hostess said.
"and now, the first thing, / insist on
your taking a bath You look so hot
and dusty-rm sure you'll enjoy It,"
But the guests, i'm their polite, mild,
English way, demurrcd, The lady
however was firm, and Captain Lloyd
and Captain Wilson, murmuring in
articulate and vain protests, were led ]
upstairs by footmen to two cool mar
BILE baths.
They were absent about an hour.
Then looking mucn cooler, they came
downstairs, went straight to their
hostess and said hurriedly:
we are sorry TO leave so soon, but
we only came 10 make a call and our
rain goes now in fifteen minutes"

With much trouble the burglar had
effected an entrance into the trust

the big steel safe he was confronted by
this sign: Save your dynamite; this
safe is not locked. Turn knob and
open" II don't know what their little
game is" he said. but I'll just see if
ii really is unlocked" He grasped the
knob and gave it a turn. Whereupon
he received an electric shock that
nearly floored him. An alarm bell
rang loudly, the Office became flooded
with light, a door i'm the wall flew open
and big dog sprang at him. Darn

later as the door of a cell in the police
station closed on him. Il know what's
the matter with me! I'm too trusting!"

OF all the trade secrets that are
jealousy guarded there are two that
bid fair ever to remain mysterious,
except to those Immediately concerned.
one is the Chinese method of turning
out the bright and beautiful color
known as vermilion of Chinese red, and
the other is the Turkish process of in
laying the hardest steel with gold and
silver.
The famous Chartreuse liqueurs
have been manufactured for long
time by the Chartreuse monks, and the

alone. IT has been estimated that in
the preparation of these Liquors some
fifty varieties of seeds and flowers are
employed. but, aside from the monks.
no one knows just how Annually, II
is said. there accrues to this religious
order. as its profit from the manufac-
ture and sale OF chartreuse, something
over $4,000 which is distributed
among the various religious and char
table institutions.
Another order of monks. the Bene-
dictines. possess an equally valuable
trade secret in the manufacture of a
lidueur scarcely less profitable than
chartreuse. Tradition has 1t that this
recipe was lost during the French
revolution. during which time manu-
fracture OF the liqueur was suspended.

The Accident At KearneysviIIe.

Mrs. William Muck, who was so badly
hurt last Thursday at Kearneysville at
the home of her son-in-law, James Pra-
Their, by an explosion, was brought to
her home in Shepherdstown yesterday.
Mr.. Petrie, OF Kearneysville, brought her
home in his automobile, and the journey
was made quickly and comfortably. The
accident, which was referred to last week,
was caused by an explosion of dynamite
caps. The children in the home had
found small tin box in which were a
number Of the caps, and, not knowing
what they were, had been playing with
them for some time. Thursday they put
the box on a stove, and just as Mrs. Muck
attempted to take it off there was fear
full explosion. Mrs. Muck was badly
hurt. The flying pieces Of metal pierced
her body in several places, one OF them
severing large artery in one OF her legs,
causing great loss Of blood. Two OF her
fingers were mutilated, and she was in
lured in other ways. The two children,
Mrs. Muck's little son and Mr.. Prather's
little daughter, were badly burned about
the face, but will, it is hoped, suffer no
permanent injury. II was at first thought
that Mrs. Muck was fatally injured. DR..
Lucas, OF Kearneysyille. DR.. Burwell, OF
Shepherdstown, and DR.. Venning, OF
Charles Town, were hastily summoned
and gave surgical aid, and she now seems
to be in a fair way to recover.

Married Fifty Years.

Married Fifty Years.
Mr.. and Mrs. Presley Marmaduke, two
venerable residents Of Shepherdstown,
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary Of their
marriage at their home in this place last
Thursday. There was no formal obser-
vance OF the event, but during the after
noon and evening many OF their friends
called to extend congratulations and wish
them we'll. Callers were Hospitality en-
tertained by Mr.. and Mrs. Marmaduke
and the family Of Prof. F. A. ByerlJ.
Presley Marmaduke and Katherine Mar-
maduke, distant cousins, were married
on December IA. 1861. They went to
Berryvile for the wedding, where the
ceremony was performed at the hotel by
Rev. Mr.. White, a Presbyterian minister.
II was during war times, and circum-
stances were not favorable for much OF a
wedding. Mr.. Marrnaduke is now 90
years old and his wife is 70. Although
he is somewhat feeble because OF his ad-
vanced years, both enjoy good health,
and we join with their friends in the hope
that they may be spared for yet many
wears.

Mrs. Margaret Krepps.

Mrs. Margaret Krepps.
The Register Of last week contained a
brief notice of the death of Mrs. Margaret
Krepps. widow of Marine T. Krepps.
From the Washington Times We get the
following interesting article concerning
this remarkable woman:
Mrs. Margaret Krepps, OF distinguished
old West Virginia family, who, with her
husband, Marine T. Krepps, celebrated
their seventeen wedding anniversary on
October 18th last, died at the home OF her
son-in-law and youngest daughter, DR.
and Mrs. N. E. Webb. at the age OF ninety
one years. Throughout nearly century
of life, Mrs. Krepps had never had days
serious illness, and death came gradually,
so quietly that not even the physician at
her bedside knew the exact moment It
finished its work. The aged husband,
from whom during their married lite she
had scarcely ever been separated, IS
Frustrated. Mr.. Krepps is in his ninety.
fourth year. II had often been SAID OF
them that in a companionship OF nearly
three quarters of a century they had
never had quarrel. Mrs. Krepps was
born in Charles Town, w. Va, and was
the last of a large family OF brothers and
sisters, all of whom lived to old age, two
being more than ninety years old. The
court records of Shepherdstown, w. va,
show that Mr.. and Mrs. Krepps were
married in October, 1910, her maiden
name being Margaret Lemen. With the
exception of two or three years, Mrs.
Krepps spent all of her life at Harper'S
Ferry, until, with her husband, she re-
moved TO Washington several years ago.
At the time of the John Brown raid at
Harper's Ferry, Mr.. Krepps, who was
government gun Inspector at the arsenal
there, was one of those who aided in put
ting down the uprising. Mr.. Krepps is
said to be the oldest member OF the Odd
Fellow lodge in the world, having been
an active member for seventy three
years. A treasured heirloom, which had
been held by Mrs. Krepps, was shovel
and fire tongs, given to her grandmother
by Martha Washington.
OF Mrs. Krepps' nine children four are
living, all residents of Washington. They
are Mrs. Joseph Roderick, Mrs. N. E.
Webb, Mrs. William n. Harmer and Mrs.
Cedie Bender. Mrs. Krepps, with her
husband, had been member OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church for seventy
three years. Funeral services were held
at the home, 1914 East Capitol street, the
Rev. A. H. Thompson, of Waugh M. E.
Chapel, officiating. Interment was in the
family plot in Congressional Cemetery.

The Firemen's Fair.

Inc flrcncuS TdiT'
The preparations for the firemen's fair
are now practically completed, and il will
open up on Friday night OF this week and
run until the night OF January LIST next.
II will be held in the old town hall, which
has been nicely decorated for the purpose.
Many fancy articles suitable for Christ
mas presents will be on sale Friday night,
the fair being opened one day sooner on
this account. Supper, oysters, icecream,
cake, homemade candy and other good
things will be served every evening, be-
ginning with Saturday. Good cooks will
be in the kitchen and pretty girls will wait
on the tables. Many useful and valuable
articles will be voted off during the fair,
including handsome Maxwell automo-
bile. The people generally are invited to
patronize the fair, which is to raise funds
TO finish the firemen's building. This
will be public benefit, as it will, when
completed, provide fine hall, which is
so badly needed here. Everybody help.
A number Of organizations will visit the
fair during holiday week. The Western
Enterprise and Antietam fire companies
Of Hagertown are arranging to be present
one night. They will get a special train
TO bring them here and take them back.
