as not even his own daughter thought
enough of him to wear mourning for

realized that people must remark on

a woman that I was introduced to

''The woman, like most critics, told

that wry little smile of his.
Iwonder, little book, if have ever

When l am as angry at him as can
be, he will say something perhaps
even give one of my cUttingly sar-
castle phrases a clever twist-and I
have to laugh.
l sometimes think a sense of hu-
NOR is not always to be commended
in woman. And then will come that
little crooked smile, which means so
many things. Sometimes it is weary,
as though he is very tired, sometimes
it holds a f1attering caress. Some
times it is a bit questioning, as
though he were not sure just how
was going to take him. Dicks smile
is more eloquent than any Of his
words, and it has always been for me
the most fascinating thing about him.
I interrupted Mother Waverly's
conversation, little book, to talk to
you of Dicks smile, and truly, it is a
more interesting subject, but l must
tell you a little more about her, for
you know it is against my principles
to say anything against Dicks moth

WaVerly, in a fretting tone. 81 prob

81 am sure you don't HAVE to go
into mourning for any one, espe-

she herself would dissuade you from

Grand Jury Report.


To the Honorable, the Judges of the
Circuit Court for st. Mary's County:
We, the Grand Jurors OF the State of
Maryland for the body of st. Mary's
County, for the September Term of
the Circuit Court, 1916, most respect
fully report to Your H0nors that we
have carefully, conscientiously and dill
lgently enquired into all matters
brought to our attention, and when the
evidence justifieS we have found pre-
sentiment.
We call attention to the difficulty of
securing the attendance of witnesses
at the time needed, not through any
negligence or fault of any officer of
the Court, who promptly issued and
served all summonses, but because some
witnesses apparently entertain the be-
lief, that any daY during the Court
term is sufficient for their attendance.
This necessarily hampers and delays
the work Of the Grand Jury, and pre-
vents the Jury taking up the work in
an orderly and systematic manner.
We examined the books in the Office
oil the County Commissioners. rs best
We could in the limited time at our dis
pOsal, and found them kept in q neat,
=
We respectfully urge that the County
mendation Of former Grand Jury as
to the placing Of a cement walk in
front Of the court house and on the
pathways leading from the entrance to
the several Offices Of the building.
thereby adding tC the attractiveness of
the yard and 70 thc convenience Of the
people.
We further urge that the County
Commissioners instruct their Road SUI
pervisors to open the drains in the pub
lie roads, permitting the water to pass
on and also TO cut back for q reason
able distance from the road bushes and
other distractions. thereby making IL
less difficult for the passage of automo-
biles and other vehicles.
We visited the jail and found every
thing there in as good condition rs
could reasonably be expected.
We unanimously endorse the report
OF former Grand Jury with reference
TO toilet near Court House, and
earnestly recommend that such action
be taken by the County Commissioners.
We note q lack of tidiness in the
Court House yard. In that ashes have
been droppep professionally at different
places in said yard.
We acknowledge our indebtedness "a
Your HonOrs, the States Attorney and
all other officers Of the Court, for the
Uniform courtesy shown as. and assist.
ance rendered ~ IN the discharge Of
our duties. And now hsving concluded
our labors, We respectfully ask to be
