for the steel, cement and lumber for
the hundreds of bridges and culverts on
the tract---ther will be close to 400 Of
these, large and small, in the 125 miles
of road in the district.
From all over the state, Richfield is
receiving favorable comment as one of
the most enthusiastic and successful Of
the good roads advocates, as pioneer
in the establishment and development
of the bonded highway district idea.
Already invitations are coming in for
some of the Richfeld enthusiasts to go
to other districts to help them organize
and show them how it pays to give at
tention to the roads.

Pie.

There never have been CROUCH good
words said about pie.
The late William Shakespeare ex-
pressed himself vividly upon almost
every other subject in the world ex-
cept pie.
Moses and Aaron and Coke and
Blackstone gave us laws that are val
liable in our daily lives, bu. they did
not consider pie in its relationship to
the welfare of the human race.
Charles Dickens, Victor Hugo, Ger
vantes, Booth Harrington, Badding.
ton Macaulay and others have writ
ten the romance of life, bat none Of
them has given pie its rightful place
In the scheme of things.
Pie has brought happiness and un-
happiness into the family circle.
Pie rightly made is a benson and
blessing to the sygtem that absorbs
1t.
Men who are running for Office
should appeal to the voters on the
plank of free Pie" and they cannot
fail to win.
All pies are good, but scme are bet
ter than others. Some day woman
will run for president on her pie
making record and the suffrage ques-
ton will be solved forthwith.

the PIG miles in one day, up over the

Mr.. Kays says the scenery up in the
Sawtooth mountains is the grandest he
knows anywhere in the West. It's be-

this week, to give the engineer chance
to catch up and to lay out the work for
a further campaign. Everybody who

four widely separated localities where
work is being done, to keep the fore

Another Distressing Tragedy.

Holding in his hand the photograph of
his two-year-old daughter, Milton Burck,
who married Miss Irene Sanbower, of
Shepherdstown, was found dead about
half-past o'clock Tuesday night in the
kitchen OF his home, 2032 Robb street,
Baltimore. Cienched tightly between
his teeth was a rubber tube connected
with a gas jet, from which the gas had
been flowing for many hours after the
poisonous fumes had caused his death.
He had lastbeen seen alive Sunday morn
ing, and it is supposed that he had been
dead since Sunday, as his body was bad
ly decomposed. The body was found
when neighbors and policeman entered
the house 10 trace the cause OF the terrible
odor. On table near him was a note
asking that some keys belonging TO the
garage of the man by whom he was EN-
ployed as a chauffeur be returned to the
owner.
No cause for the suicide is known.
Mr.. Burck lived happily with his wife,
and there was no reason known to any
of the family or friends why he should
have taken his own life. Mrs. Burck
came to Shepherdstown week or two
ago for visit TO her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Sanbower, and he complained OF
being lonely, but this hardly seemed sui
ficient reason for him TO commit such a
desperate act. The couple were married
in Shepherdstown several years ago, and
since that time have lived contentedly in
Baltimore, where he was employed as a
chauffeur. He was about SO years old.
Nothing was known here OF the tragedy
until yesterday afternoon at half-past
o'clock, when relative from Hagerstown
brought the news. Mrs. Burck and her
sister, Miss Annie Sanbower, left last
night for Baltimore.

Rotten Mail Facilities.

The mail facilities of Shepherdstown
are very unsatisfa Glory at present. Our
first morning mail, including the Balti-
more daily newspapers, is due here at
8.15 a. m, coming by way OF the West
ern Maryland Railroad TO Hagerstown,
where if is transferred 10 the Norfolk q
Western train. The Western Maryland
road has its train on time only occa-
sionally, and when it is late the Norfolk
& Western doesn't wait for it. Perhaps
three or four times week the mail that
should reach here at SIS a. m. lies all
day in Hagerstown, until 5 p. m, when
il is sent over on the evening accommo-
dation. The people OF this community
have submitted to this annoyance a long
time, and they are getting a bit peeved
over it. An easy solution OF the trouble
would be TO have the morning mail sent
by way OF the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
to Shenandoah Junction or Kearneys-
vile and from, there to ShepherdStown
by star route. If this arrangement should
be made we could get Our mail easily by
100 a. M, or about an hour earlier than
by the present arrangement at its best.
We hope that the Postoffice Department
will give us relief.
Cannot our postmaster push the matter
and have the trouble remedied2

CoIored Girls Desperate Act.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Frank
Thompson in Martinsburg was endanger-
ed and the life OF their little daughter i'm
periled last Saturday night, when Mary
Staley, colored nurse girl, deliberately
piled a lot of clothing on bed and set it
afire. Mrs. Thompson discovered the
deed in time to extinguish the flames and
rescue the child, though she burned her
hands painfully in doing so. The color
ed girl, who was about IA years old, and
who formerly lived in Shepherdstown,
was arrested and placed in jail. She con-
fessed to the deed, but said she didn't
know why she did if.

the girl, who is daughter of Fred StaIey,
got tired of her job and wanted TO be dis
charged. The coloRd people say that
someone had given her cocaine and
made her half crazy.
