MAASTRICRT HILLS
Commonplace Elsewhere, They
Are Mountains in Holland.
Character About the Dutch Uplands
That Is Quite Their own-It Is
at Meerssen That Netherlands
Take Hilly Proportions.

Berlin.--I suppose that a traveller
opening his eyes suddenly upon the
hills near Maastricht. in Dutch Linn
burg. after having been conducted
thither blindfold from some other
country, would not find them very re-
markable. But let him approach them
over many miles of fiat landscape fol-
following the barge route of the Zuid
Willems canal, and they appear the
most romantic of mountains. The
eye has for so long grown accustomed
to the low skyline and monotonous
level that ii is hungry for hill The
spur of wooded heights and the castle
crowned Petersberg seem to rise as If
by magic over the water. Towed by
slow horses or more frequently pulled
by powerful tugs, the familiar Dutch
barges and schuits, reminiscent of
ploders and the sea, pursue their way
unperturbed by the unaccustomed
heights. 1t is as if Holland had stray
ed into other lands.
Yet there is a character about the
Dutch uplands that is quite their own.
At Meerssen the familiar scenery of
the Netherlands begins to rock and
swell and adapt itself to the hole of
mountaineer as it encounters the coun-
try of the hills. But it struggles to
preserve its nationality, and succeeds.
There is a note of Holland in it all.
For instance, near Geulem, between
the stream and the ridge of hills, is
planted a poplar wood. Through the
glades of trees, which are placed with
an orderly reserve unusual elsewhere,
glimpses of the swelling green upllnd
appear and the mingling of formal for
est with the steep valley-side is what
one would imagine Dutch mountain
to look like if there were mountains
in Holland-and there are. AS the
traveller ascends the valley of the
Geul he discovers lowland scenery
half merged into the romantic atmos-
phere of the hills. An avenue remin-
cent of Hobbema leads the eye to fan
tastic caves and steep ascents, and
paved yard appears that might have
not end unexpectedly in fantastic
cliff in which an oven and stable
appear strangely.
The outer galleries of some old quar-
ries have been used as houses, and it
looks somewhat eerie to see a door
open in the rock and an old woman
asbble out. or to see lights at night at
little shuttered windows dotted about
in unexpected places in what at first
sight seems to be a barren precipice.
AS the country rises towards Sim
pelvelde it becomes less wooded and
takes the character of a rolling up
land of cornlands and cultivated fields,
here and there becoming a waste of
heather and bracken. The soil is of
a sandy nature, and the top of the
Vrouwenheide. the highest point in
Holland, abounds in stunted and wind

height, at a point only a few feet
short of the summit, and its sails as
they sweep round must overt0p a
thousand feet-a considerable eleya-
tion for a land generally spoken of as
without a hill. The summit of the
Vrouwenheide itself is 970 feet above

AT ANNAPOLIS
TO ACT ON AMENDMENTS.
Most OF Those Passed Now DEPEND
On Leqislature.

Legislative action will be necessary
10 put in force most of the amend
ments to the State Constitution adopt
ed al last weeks election. This is true
Of the condemnation, printing, anti
bribery and Attorney Generals depart
ment amendments.
Those providing for an additional
Judge in the Third judicial circuit,
composed of Hartford and Baltimore
counties. and for increasing the sal
aries of the States Attorney for Balti-
more city and his deputy and assist
ants operate automatically.
The condemnation amendment pro
vides that the Legislature may author
ize the courts to appoint appraisers,
upon whose valuation property in Bal
timore city may be taken for public
purposes by the city or the State, sub
ject to adjustment to such valuation as
may be made by jury in case the
jury allows a higher price This
amendment cannot become effective
until the authority has been given the
courts to appoint appraisers.
The printing amendment, providing
that the Legislature may print bills
instead of engrossing them by hand.
will be carried out by the rules adopt
ed by the Legislature: the anti-bribery
amendment provides that the penalty
Tor election bribery may be put upon
the vote-buyer alone and the Legisla.
ture will have TO pass laws to that
effect to give it force; and, of course,
the amendment providing for assist
ants to the Attorney-General who will
advise the various State departments
will depend upon action of the Legisla-
ture in fixing the number and salaries
of the assistants.
Under the provisions of the amend.
ment for the additional Judge, his
selection is to take place at the first
election following the adoption of the
amendment. That will be the Con,
gressional election next year
There has been a general idea that
the new judge would come from Bal
timore county because the great bulk
of the court business in the Third dis
trict arises there This may not hap
pen, however, because the point Is
made that of the three judges now in
the district, Baltimore county has two
Judge Burke and Judge Duncan
and is not entitled to a third, while
Hartford county has only one member
of the bench, Judge William H. Har-
Ian.
Nevertheless, Baltimore comtians
already are talking aboW their judicial
timber Z. Howard Isaac has been
mentioned and former States Attor-
ney Robert H. Bussey is said to be a
candidate. Elmer J. Cook has also
been mentioned. Al are Democrats
The amendment increasing the
salaries in the States Attorneys office
will become effective when proclaim
ed by the Governor This viii prob
ably be done in short while. The in
creases are $500 for the States At
torney instead of $4.50o: $4,000 for the
Deputy States Attorney instead of
$500, and not more than $500 for
the assistants.

Engage In Pistol Battle.

ing from the home of William p Hut
ton. at Linden, Montgomery county,
disturbed the usual quiet of that little
village and the announcement a few
minutes later that double shooting
had occurred at the Hutton home
created intense excitement The par
ticipants of the shooting were Mrs.
Hutton, VINO is at her home, suffering
from four pistol shot wounds, and
Tncmas J. Garrett, of Linden, who is
in a Washington hospital with pistol
shot wound Of the abdomen, for which
he holds Mrs. Hutton responsible. Mrs.
Hutton says Garrett shot her 1t is
not thought that the wounds of either
will prove fatal. According to a state
ment made by Mrs Hutton to States
Attorney w. 0. Spates and Sheriff Cliff
ford L. Howard, she and her husband
separated several weeks ago. Recent
ly, Mrs Hutton says, Garrett has been
calling on her frequently without any
encouragement from her.
Mrs. Hutton says, Garrett called at
her home and was under the influence
of liquor Upon entering the house,
she says, he drew a revolver and in
formed her that he was going to kill
her and then himself, at the same time
pressing the weapon to her side. He
did not carry out his threat, however
but told Mrs. Hutton to go upstairs
and that when she reached there to
holler and he would blow out his
brains. Mrs Hutton told the authori-
ties that she went upstairs and got
revolver from a bureau drawer, and
that Garrett followed, calling to her
that he had changed his mind and that
she would have to die with him. AS
Garrett approached her, Mrs. Hutton
says she turned and the firing began.
Mrs. Hutton did not know whether she
or Garrett fired the first shot, but
thinks Garrett did. because she felt

a Woman Is as Old

But her beauty once gone is not lost for
ever. Science has come to her relief, and
she can now smooth back the wrinkles
and crows feet. bring back the bloom of
youth to the faded, sallow cheeks, and
clear that muddy, notified complexion.
Here is the wonderful secret. Purchase
from your druggist two ounces of Casoster
inc and add to four ounces of water, this will
make a massage cream which should be
used each night, also purchase two ounces
of Borosterine and add to eight ounces
of water, this will make greaseess cream,
which should be used directly after the
massage. These preparations need not bo
confined to the treatment of wrinkles
alone. their use as a cleanser is unsur-
