"You have done all that could be ex-

"You have gone the full mile with him.
Perhaps the second mile will be easier
travelling"
"What do you mean?" asked Elsie.
"By an old law or custom in the East,
a stranger travelling through an unknown
country could oblige any one he met,
who knew the road, TO go with him mile
on his Journey and show, him the way.

mile"
"l'Il try" answeredElsie, but she still
felt hopeless about Charlie Vreelaud.
An hour later she sat on her front
porch alone. The rest OF the family had
gone to the country, and she was looking
forward to quiet evening with a pleas
ant book. Then, across the street, she
saw her discouraging pupil. He was rag
ged and dirty, and suddenly Elsie real
lied that there was something pathetic
about him. What would her own small
brother be il he had such home as Char
lie was going to? "Charlie," she called, !,

He obeyed, but there was a sullen.

"No, she won't care - he cried with a
Frightening face. "But amt fit"
"You can wash your face and hands

She went out into the kitchen with
quite new plans for the evening. She set
the table carefully and took the greatest
pains with the shoncake. After supper
she played and sang for him. When he
finally went away. she put her arm about
his shoulder. "What makes you give me
so much trouble in Sunday school?" she
asked. "Won't you try TO sit quiet next

The Small Town.

A man whose nerves were ragged from the stren-
uous city life
Decided he would take rest and wouldn't take
his wife.
"I'l 20 TO some small town." be said, "and live
upon diet,
Where folks are kind and simple. and where every
thing is quiet"
The weary man packed up his grip, and after some
He found little village where he thought he q Ike
to stay.
He started 10 enjoy The rest he had so truly earned;
He strolled among the villagers, and this is what
he learned:
That Hiram Jenkins was beat who never paid
cent:
That Abner Hawkins drank so much he couldn't
pay his rent;
That old Squire Higgins was crook and had been
all his life:
That Perkins ran card game, and that Jimson
beat his wife.
He learned that Mrs Hopkins washed her dishes
twice week.
And did some giddy things OF which they didn't
like to speak.
He learned that Mrs. Virgins smoked a cigarette
one day
And irted with the druggist when her husband
was away.
After he heard these items as they passed from
lip TO lip.
The weary pilgrim had enough, and packed his
little grip.
He went back to the city on the first and fastest
train,
And never took the rest cure in little town again.

County Court Proceedings.

The Jefferson county commissioners
adjourned the regular August term OF the
county court on Saturday. Although
considerable business was transacted, II
was done in less time than is usually
taken for the August term.
Among the important orders entered
was one extending the turnpike system
OF the county by the addition oftwo miles
in Harper's Ferry and Shepherdstown
districts. The county road that will in
the future depend upon the turnpike fund
for maintenance extends from Engle's
Switch to Decks shop, and from the
latter point to the Charles Town district
line, near Zoar.
The resignation OF B. F. Moler as road
surveyor in Harpers Ferry district was
accepted. The court appointed A. NJ.
Best, of Keler's, 10 fill out Mr.. Moler's
unexpired term.
Turnpike Commissioner Mcdonald
reported that 500 perch OF stone are need
ed TO repair Main street in Charles Town,
and that the wing walls Of the stone
bridge over Eyitt's run within the cor
porate limits Of the town are only II feet
and inches apart. Thereupon the oor-
poration OF Charles Town was authorized
TO remove the north wall OF the bridge,
in making concrete bridge for the side
walk over the run at that point.
Viewers appointed by the court recon-
mended change in the location OF the
county road near the site Of the old Por-
ter's factory in Kabletown district. In
their report the viewers stated that the
change recommended would enable the
county to abolish a bridge that is now
out of repair, and would otherwise be
economical. County Commissioner r OBJ
ens was appointed to confer with II. A..
Lockhart, the owner Of the land through
which the new road will run.
To better enforce the law prohibiting
stock from running at large on the county
roads, an order was entered, directing
that constabIes Of the county be allowed
Is cents per head for ali live stock found
on the roads and taken in charge by them.
The constable is required to collect from
the owners of such stock the fee of Is
cents per head, together with any costs
they are subject to in caring for the stock
until claimed by the owner.
Garland n. Moore, who has been depu-
ty county clerk for the past two years,
resigned in order 10 attend the law school

That Station at shenandoah Junction.

To the editor of the Baltimore Sun
Sir would like TO call attention, through
the columns Of your paper, to the dis
agreeable conditions existing at the sta
ton OF Shenandoah Junction, w. Va. II
is not only disgrace to the Baltimore
and Ohio and Norfolk and Western rail-
roads, but an imposition upon the travel
ing public.
A person travelling through this part of
the country, especially al night, has to
put up with the most uncomfortable sur
roundings. The station itself is very
small, considering the amount OF traffic.
II has but two stuffy waiting rooms, one
for men, the other supposedly for ladies'.
In winter, heat is found but seldom, and
that in the ladies' room; in consequence,
negroes, Italians and other laborers found
in the mountainous railroad regions are
all crowded into this small. stuffy waiting
room. II is then almost impossible to
stay in il. Nice situation for lady trav-
cling alone.
am quite sure that IL any official OF
either company had to undergo these
difficulties, for any length OF time, there
would speedily be a change. In the
meantime, the public, as usual, has TO
suffer. Nevertheless, il is from the pub
lie that these companies reap their reve-
nue.. DONALD s. SAUNDERS.
Luray, Va, August %.
The complaints OF the correspondent
were brought 10 the attention OF the Bal
timore and Ohio Railroad. and an official
OF the company stated that the question
OF building new passenger station at
Shenandoah Junction is under considera-
ton both by the b. & o. Railroad and the
Norfolk and Western Railway. Shenan-
doah Junction is an intersection point OF
these lines, il was explained, and IN
building new station the expense will
have TO be assumed jointly by the two
roads. II was explained that new sta
ton will be built at Shenandoah Junction
before very long.-Editof Sun.
We take the above from the Baltimore
Sun OF Monday last. II Is cheerful, in
deed, to learn that the wretched shack at
Shenandoah Junction is TO be replaced
by station fit for the occupancy OF the
patrons OF these roads. But when will
the promises made by the official referred
to be redeemed 2 We have had these
promises for years past, but the disgrace

way has long been ready and willing TO
do its share and 60 ahead with the much
needed station. and had The plans pre-
pared for use year or two ago, but the
Baltimore & Ohio lags behind and fails
to cooperate. Let us have renewed
hope, however, and trust that relief is In
sight.
