JEFFERSON COUNTY.


Thomas Jefferson had by no means
come to the full measure of his stature
when his country was given his name
He has just been successful IN one Of
the most bitter and exciting campaigns
in our history. The eastern part of
Berkeley was made Jefferson. Its
county seat, Charles Town (0st., 1866,
was given the Christian name Of its
founder, Charles Washington, who was
the first proprietor and a brother of the
great George. The Washington family
held large grants in the county about
Charles Town.
Shepherdstown, on the Potomac, is
one of the Oldest towns in the Valley
established Nov, 1852. 1t was origi-
nally German settlement and the
name given it was Mecklenburg. for
Queen Charlotte. The State then or
ganized a Mecklenburg county (1764)
and the name was changed to that of
its founder. Capt. Thomas Shepherd.
1t is unfortunate that such changes
were not more frequently made to avoid
confusion. West Virginia has stand
ing embarrassment in Charles Town
and a Charleston. Charles Town is
older by five years, but Charleston is
much the larger and has the prestige.
1t appears to an impartial observer
that Charles Town should have been
christened .'WashingtoDtown" in the
beginning. That is surely the historic
and the proper name for little Charles
Town.
Shepherdstown has always claimed
the honor of having built the first steam
boat. Ii made four miles against the
swift current Of the Potomac. The
genius who invented It was James
Rumsey. In Oct. 1874. the General
Assembly Of Virginia gave him mon
opoly of steam navigation on the waters
of the State for ten years but, alasl
the act was of no value. When it is
recalled that Fulton 8 boat was not run
until 1907 it will be seen how very
previous was the success of Rumsey.
Shepherdstown is proud of Rumsey's
achievement now. but in the days Of
his effort and distress his neighbors
had so little sympathy with him that
they called him Crazy Rumsey." 1t
is the same old story OF neglect. the
price that genius has always and will
always have to pay.

Alleghanies. Hampshire county was
divided Q7s6) and the upper. southern
portion took its place on our map as
the county of Hardy. Moorefield was
made the county seat. 1t had been
laid off several years before (l777) on
the land of Conrad Moore and carries
his name down the years. The beauti,
full river that here falls into the south
ern branch of the Potomac took the
name of the town at its confluence and
is known as Mooreield River. This
county contains river altogether uni
que in that it develops an uncanny
habit of disappearing and reappearing
at some place below. No sober river
of good character in all the world Is
supposed to take such liberties. 1t is
called Lost River. And there is
village on it that bears the suggestive
name of Lost city Its excellent
people evidently lack that Saving
sense of humor
1t is doubtful whether in all the long
history of Virginia so precious youth
as Sam Hardy appeared. His brilliant.
career was cut short. by a most UNI
timely death. We are glad the fine
county Of West Virginia carries his
name. name that shall not forgotten.
Sam Hardy was born in Isle of Wright
Q75S) of good old Virginia blood A
remote ancestor had sat in the house
of Burgesses in the preceding century
(1642-52). The young man was edu-
Gated at William and Mary across the
noble James and studied law under
Chancellor Wythe. While still boy
he sat in the House of Delegates. At
twenty-five he was member of the
Continental Congress. He it was
who nominated Jefferson to act with
Adams and Franklin abroad He was
the staunch friend of Alexander Hamil-
ton and that great orator paid him
noble tribute after his death. He be-
came Lieutenant Governor of Virginia.
He died in New York City Q785) and
the following year this county in the
far west was named for him.

IN THE SEASON OF REBIRTH
Mankind Can See in Nature Awaken
ing an Appeal &c His Spiritual
Feelings.

Between the penitential season of
the religious year, which Ash Wednes-
day opens, and the weather of win
ters decay and of springs renewing,
Is a mysterious bond Of similarity
which enhances the meaning of the
observance. In the order of nature 1t
is a time of the sIoughing Off Of the
old and the quickening of the new; of
the release of earth and streams from
icy fetters and snow burial, and the
deep, secret STRINGS Of new life. And
these, II we will, are but the symbols
of what may stir and quicken in us
under the influence Of this season of
self-denials, both Of the great things
and Of the small. 1t is the season
which reafIirms the mystery which,
like death, no man understands until
he has passed its portals by expert
ence; the mystery, namely, that 1t is
only by giving up that we acquire the
greatest gifts of life We know that
the principle holds in the little things,
yet the fear Of trying 1t in the great
things is such that comparatively few
ever bring themselves to the supreme
point, and they, their selves forgotten,

CUSTOM OF TEA DRINKING
Love Brewed the First Cup, According
to a Legend Believed
in China.

The Chinese claim to be the first
users of tea as a drink and how it
originated is told in a pretty little beg
end that dates from 1000 years before
the coming of Christ, says IrelaHd's
Own.
A daughter of then reigning sover.
eign fell in love with a young noble.
man whose humble birth excluded him
from marrying her. They managed to
exchange glances and he occasionally
gathered few blossoms and had them
conveyed to her.
One day in the palace garden the
lovers met and the young man endeav.
ored to give her few flowers, but
so keen was the watchfulness of her
attendants that all she could grasp
was little twig with green leaves.
On leaving her room she put the
twig in water and toward evening she
drank the water in which the twig
had been kept. So agreeable was the
taste that she even ate the leaves and
stalks. Every day afterward she had
lunches of the tea tree brought to her,
which she treated in the same way.
Imitation being the sincerest form of
flattery, the ladies of the court tried
the experiment. and with such pleas
ing results that the custom spread
throughout the kingdom - and the
great Chinese tea industry became one
of the greatest businesses in the
world.

Mo Hlnh Relief In Russia.

Economic and geographic areas OF
Russia are in no case separated by
physical barriers, as is our Pacific
slope from the states east of the
Rocky mountains, or even the Allan
tic seaboard from the territory beyond
the Alleghenies.
Russia is without high relief; the
watersheds are almost imperceptibIe
elevations.
Indeed, European Russia is so fiat
that the Baltic-Black Sea canal is to
be made available for large ocean
going vessels by the construction Of
only two locks.
Naturally, therefore, the rivers and
waterways of Russia have been of
unusual Importance, especially before
the days of the railroad, in binding
the different economic areas together,
affording magnificent arteries for the
movement of internal trade both in
winter and summer.

be ugly He used to scowl at the lit
tie doc when he met him. But on a
certain night Dutchy, having hat
more than was good for him, felt in
the mood for trouble.
Jim Moffat and Phil Duggan, who
were seeing him back, at the request
of the town marshal, tried to pull him
past the stoop, but Dutchy shook
them away and stood facing the lit
tie doc, who was tanning himself at
Miss Lida's side.
If you're a man you'll come down
from behind a woman's skirts and
talk face to facet" screamed Dutchy,
The little doc came down. Miss
Ida let out a cry, but there wasn't
anything to be done, for Dutchy was
a big man and he could have smashed
Phil and Jim with blow Of his fist,
to say nothing of the little doc.
The doc came up to Dutchy and
looked keenly into his eyes.
'Ha, the furor Teutonicus, l sect"
he said to himself, as though sum-
ming up the condition Of patient.
And then, while Dutchy was still
showering him with insults, he caught
hold of his hand and felt his pulse,
quite in professional way.
You'd best go home to bed,
Dutchy," said the little doc.
Dutchy stared at the doc in speech
less anger for a few moments. Then
he shot out his big fist and caught the
doc on the mouth, knocking him down
and cutting his lip open
Have you spunk enough to fight,
you little shrimp" he roared.
The little doc, very pale, stood be-
fore Dutchy, not attempting to defend
himself.
"Ho!" roared Dutchy. Mice sort
of man you're going to get, Miss Ida.
Why, I'd fight the little whippersnap-
per with one hand tied behind me-"
Then, being somewhat pleased with
his work, Dutchy permitted Duggan
and Mofat to lead him home, stiIl
breathing out threats of what he was
going to do to the doc next time
he caught him on Miss Lida's porch.
What Miss Ida said to him is un-
known, for she sat in sort OF daze
while the little doc was being knocked
down. However, 1t was noticed that
the little doc didn't call ON her for
a day or two, and next time he
dropped in Jim Moffat was there, hav-
ing anparently been restored to favor

enough with the little doc, anyone
could have seen that things weren't
quite the same.
For however small man may be, 1t

Nearly all the boys liked the little
doc when he came to Sapphire. He
wasn't much OF a man TO look at, but
his big head was chock full OF learn
ing, and he was as affable and friend
ly as anyone. The only man who
didn't take to the doc was Dutchy,
tho bully OF the camp.
Dutchy was sullen enough and mind
ed his own business in general, but
when he had two or three drinks in
him he would start out TO find trouble.
He generally found It, and, being the
kind who picks upon a smaller man
by preference, he usually gave better
than he got.
The doc was a young fellow, and
pretty Miss Ida, old man Pearce's
daughter, who had been East to school,
seemed to like him well enough. 1t
made most Of the boys rather sore to
see pretty, clever girl like that take
up with such a little runt However,
that was her business and nobody
thought any the less of the little doc
for succeeding where so many Of the
rest had failed. Besides, there was
an epidemic OF typhoid that fall, and
everybody was pretty much scared.
Nobody knew who was going to be
the next victim, and the doc was
working with might and main to shut
off the spread of the disease.
However, he found time to sit for
a half hour on Miss Lldas stoop oc-
casionally, and fan himself with a
palm leaf. The boys who used to go
there and weren't invited so much
now used to grit their teeth and go
around a block so as to avoid seeing
him. But still, it wasn't a case for
a personal grudge.
At least, except with Dutchy, who,
being naturally boor. and never hav.
ing succeeded in making any impress
