There is some confusion concerning
the date of the construction of the
first court building of Montgomery
county. The Rockville Sentinel abouL
two years ago looked up this matter
among the land records of the county.

of the land on which the courthouse
was built was not recorded until 1872.
The record reads as follows:
by order of Montgomery county the
following deed and plat were recorded
the 29th day of April, 1872, to-wit:

One of the important streams that
flows through Montgomery county is
Seneca creek, which empties into the
Potomac river about seven miles above
Great Falls, and on this creek near its
mouth are famous sandstone quarries,
which have supplied much of the red
brown sandstone which has been used
for building purposes in Washington.
Seneca creek is formed by two
branches Great Seneca creek and Little

miles north of the mouth of the stream.
Little Seneca is the shorter Of the

bought land for the courthouse and jail
not far from the house of Mr.. Davis, in
which they met. 1t is believed that the
land they bought was owned by DAVIS
and it is reasonable that Davis house
stood not far from Owens ordinary or
tavern. 1t Is believed that the house
which was known to fame as Hunger
ford Tavern, and which was torn down
about three or four years ago after un-
successful efforts to preserve it as a
colonial relic, was the house of this
Leonard Davis. A courthouse was con-
structed in 17f7-7S and the first court
held in it in 1879, at the point where
the village which came to be called
Rockville grew up. The place then had
no other name than Montgomery coun-
ty courthouse.

around the courthouse and the four
acre lot in which it stood, and laid out
a town, which he named Williams
Archibald Orme. Quite number of
lots were sold and houses erected in
Williamsburg, but difficulties concern
ing the lines and survey and the title
arose. 1t would appear from what has
come down to US that Col. Orme's sur
vey either was not recorded, or that
the record was lost. In the confusion
over the lots and titles in Williams
burg, the Maryland legislature came to
the rescue of the settlers, and in 1901
passed an act directing a resurvey of
the town, and it was decided to change

now?"

SO hard to choose.
Yesterday she stopped here

isn't 1t strange, Margie," she
said to me as we slipped out in
the dining room to make some
tea that l have to begin all over
again with Chadwick when only
year ago | was SO crazy about
him?"
mo dear-that is the wonder
full thing about youth. 1t is quite
as easy to fall out of love as to
fall in. The very hardest thing
Is to stay In love.
There is one thing, Margie,
you have taught me, and that Is
the foolishness of thinking that
"the light that was never on
land or sea would be with lovers
forever.
"Oh my dear, wish could
feel for Chadwick again what l
felt for him that day-it was the
most glorious and the most tragic
l have ever known. And here is
the queer thing about it. Chad
wick seems to be Just as much in
love with me as ever, and after
what l told him he must think 1t
very strange that l do not re-
spond to his love-making with
much enthusiasm. Margie, some
times l think men are much more
sentimental than women"
u think they are, my dear. You
see, marriage Is woman's bust
ness, and we go about entering
into 1t in a more or less uncon-
seious business-like way. Love is
woman's vocation, its mans avo-
cation, which is another way of
saying, Love is Cf mans life a
thing apart-It's woman's whole
existence Mollie smiled. She
is always quick to understand.
"But | am afraid" she said,
that you and Byron are quite as
far apart in the meaning of your
epigrams as you are in the times
in which you live"
Eyes, Byron lived in that won
derful man made world time
when woman was but the minis
ter of love-
"My goodness" interrupted
Mollie, didn't they put it beauti-
fully in those times, the minister
of love- You and / know that
means in the last analysis only
the minister of mans pleasure"

wrapped his ministers of love
about with all sorts of senti-
mental attributes that are some
times those of the angels and
sometimes those that are only fit

attributes are only those that
minister to his pleasure.

PROPER SELECTION OF DIET
Reason Must Guide the Appetite If the
Best Results Are to Be
Attained.

The eminent American Psychologist
Lusk says that nature, through the de-
vice of appetite. usually provides
against the use of improper food, but
that reason must play part in food
selections. A glass of milk and a piece
Of pie are poor materials for the brain
Of an active business man whose sed.
entary life requires $500 heat units
or calories to maintain his body ma.
chinery.
We need also water, salts, proteins
and certain newly discovered sub
stances called vitamines. All these
materials are to be found in milk,
beans, bread and other great funda-
mentals of nutrition. Solutions of cane
sugar or of glucose are not the ex.
elusive mainstays of life, and yet glu.
close taken alone yields $500 calories
at cost of 1-6 cents, and $500 cal
cries in the form of cane sugar cost
8 1-3 cents.
Glucose is the cheapest food fuel
known, but, like cane sugar or butter
fat is not a complete food, in that it
does not contain everything necessary
for life. Commercial glucose is abso-
lutely harmless A man must have
sufficient calories in his diet if he is
to live properly and perform labor
