The writer begs to call the attention TO
the candidacy of our toWnSman. Samuel
]. Hodges, for the State Senate.
II has been Is years since this district
has had representation i'll either branch
OF the State legislature, so we are entitled
to it. The likely unoppoSed candidate
for the House of Delegates and the OPP
posing candidate for the State Senate are
both from Charles Town district. Mr.
Hodges is graduate of Shepherd Col

alumnae affairs. He can be depended
upon TO further IFS interests in the Legis-

Baseball,

Ii is to be regretted that more OF our
baseball fans were not on hand last Sat-
urday to see the game between the
Graded School and the second team from
Shepherd College. Not for long time
has there been such good game played
here and IFS like will not be seen for
some time to come II was a good bit
| like the wellknown Story OF David and
Goliath, for the college team was CON-
posed OF full-grown young men. while
the Graded School team was made I'D OF
youngsters ranging IN age from II to 10
years OF age. In the first inning Shop
herd College scored two runs, and it lock-
ed as if it were 10 be a slaughter Then
Russell Henson, for the youngsters, tight
ened up and for three innings his oppo-
nents failed TO get TO first base. In the
third and sixth innings the Graded School
team got in two runs, while the college
scored once more. In the seventh they
scored again, bringing the score up TO 4.
TO 2 in favor OF the college. The very
starr ~ the next inning there were things
doing, for the big fellows were desperate.
But they tailed to run up the score, Jack
Snyder putting two out at the home plate
and Newt Mckee pulling down hot
line drive saved the game. Then the
kids got TO work and when the smoke
cleared away they had scored three runs,
passing the college team by ore score,
which gave them the game, for Henson
put them out in short order in the last
inning. A happier crowd was never seen
than those boys as they came down Main
street after the game. The features Of
the game were Jack Snyder'S catch OF
high foul and Russell HensOn'S pitching.
The Graded School lineup was as follows:
Russell Henson, pitch; JACK Snyoer,
catch; Winnie Mcdonald, lst base;
Newt Mckee. 2nd base Elliott Turner,
shortstop; Lamont PyIeS, Sd base;
Kearney Lcklider, leflheld; "Chis" Lem
en-, centerfield, and Bill Rush, rghtfield.
The Shepherd College baseball team
iourneyed to Winchester last Saturday TO
play Shenandoah Valley Academy Their
proverbial bad luck followed them and
they lost hard fought game 4 10 3. St.
James will be here on Saturday TO play
against Shepherd College. Game called
230.
A game of baseball is 10 be played
here this afternoon between Shepherds
town and Sharpsburg at 3 O'Clock. Our
home team has some good material and
expect 10 give our neighbors an interest
ing reception.

PERSONAL NOTES.

More than thirty years ago Mr.. Lamb was
terribly injured by the explosion of a

eyes being blown out and his face and
body filled with stone and powder from
the discharge. He recovered almost
miraculouSly. though his eyesight was
forever destroyed and he was much mutt
lated. He has suffered more orless from
pains in his head and face, and thinks that
there are still particles OF rock there that
were never removed. For month or
more he has been in much pain, and his
face is greatly swollen and distorted. His
friends hope that he may soon find relief
and get rid OF the trouble.

PORTLAND STOCK MARKET.

CattIe.-Reef hquidasioni showed
a material decrease this week. The
run contained few really smooth fat
steers, but 10 to IS cents higher was
bid for the same class a week ago.
Butcher stock was frmer in all de-
partments Best light steers were
steady $3.50 to s7.65; cows $3.50 to
$685. and bulls s5.75 to $500.
Hogs.-The hog market also looked
better after the bearish close last Sat
urday. Gains have not been on the
sensational order but decidedly
steady. $50 was extreme top for
prime light swine and bulk of sales
averaged $3.50 to $3.50 with receipts
of fair volume.
sheep.-Not much life in the sheep
house, due to lack of supply Some
medium grade ewes received and the
sale of four or five cars Of fancy
wethers at Sc featured. Lambs
scarce and in demand. Mutton and
lamb prices steady to strong.

WHAT 1T MEANS.

Did you ever hear the expression
Hell never set the river afire 2?
Naturally Do you know how it start
ed? No? Here is the origin. In Olden
days grain was sifted by hand in a
seiye known as a tense" When a
very energetic man did the sitting he
often rubbed the sleeve so violently
against the receptacle for the grain
as to set fire to the wooden hoop of
the tense. 1t used to be said of
lazy man: Hell never set the tense
afire" People hearing this supposed
that word tense" was the Thames"
and, believing the expression referred
to the river Thames" they gradually
the word tense" to river"
You have heard the phrase mot worth
a tinker's dam" That isn't profanity.
A tinkers dam" was the little mound
Of pressed bread or dough that tinkers
used to put around a hole or joint they
we're ,nending. When the work was
over the bits of bread were useless.
they were worth nothing. Hence, a /
useless thing was said to be mot
worth tinker's dam"

widow sci to work with will and
succeeded upon one years wheat crop
in paying off the entire mortgage.
When he had completed the lecture
the gentleman shook hands and greet
ed the members of the audience. One
middle-aged man finally approached
him thoughtfuly, and began;
q say, mister, you told a story
bout the widow raising mortgage on
one years crop"
"Yes, my friend. that was true
story. 1t happened only two years
ago"
well, sir, could you tell me who
that widow is? She's just the kind Of
woman I've been looking for all the
time"
