Some important changes are being maze
on the Shenandoah division Of the Nor
folk & Western Railway. A number OF
new block stations are to be established
and seventeen additional telegraphers
are to be employed. A new station is to
be built at Grimes, and two new men
will be put in charge there. Antietam
Station, which has been managed Tor
years by Philip Grove, is to have an ad-
ditional man, ]. E. p. Farley having been
put there, and it will be block station.
Other blocks will be put in between this
place and Roanoke. This division OF the
Norfolk & Western has been managed
with singularly efficiency for many years.
with the minimum OF trouble, and under
these additional safeguards accidents will,
il is believed, be few and far between.
The board of education of Charles Town
district expects TO erect in the near future
a new four-room school building at Shen-
andoah Junction, on desirable site which
is to be selected. The structure is to be
of brick, with slate roof. with basement

Wolff, OF Waynesboro, Pa, is the archi-
tect. Plans and specifications will be
drawn and submitted for bids. The
building is TO be erected this fall, although
it is not expected to be completed al the

BEAUTY AND GOOD HABITS.

It is impossible to be beautiful with
out being healthy. Health is the
foundation Of beauty. II one wants to
be really beautiful the beauty must be
more than skin deep. The trouble with
most people is that they are quite sat
lsied with a beauty that is superficial
enough to deceive the onlooker. Beauty
includes vigor and efficiency.
TO be really beautiful n must have
not only a beautiful face, but beautiful
hands as we'll, not simply a good COM
plexion for the face, but a good COM
plexion all over. Not in%frequently a
PERSONS body is covered with pimples.
With such blemishes on the face II
would feel very badly, but 50 long as
they are out Of sight they are not re-
garded.
The only way to be really beautiful
Is to live beautifully, to live rightly.
That means to live naturally. For ex-
ample, If II is aiming to be beautiful
one must eat beautiful things, because
our bodies are made Of what we eat.
If one eats the beautiful fruits and
nuts that are hung from the trees,
inviting us to reach up and partake-
If one eats these and other natural
foods that nature has prepared for us,
that are all pure and clean, then II

Game Of Forfeits.

The game called "forfeits" is usually
played "a the end Of a party, when
forfeits pledged in previous games
must be redeemed. The forfeit may
be any piece Of property, like u pocket
knife. Il ring. Il piece of ribbon. etc.
One player is declared judge and. with
Eyes blindfolded. stands with his face
to the wall, while another takes up the
pledges separately and asks: "Here is
u pretty thing. What is to be done 20
the owner of this pretty thing?" The
blindfolded player, who, Of course, does
no know to whom each forfeit be-
longs, therefore cannot be accused Of
unfairness. assigns for each forfeit a
task which must be fulfilled before the
! pledge can be reclaimed. Where the
party is composed Of boys the task is
easy, but where there is Il company of
boys and girls not only must the pen
atty attached to any forfeit be such as
Il girl could perform, but it must be
such as no girl would object to per-
form.

Yes, five Of 'em. Gimme a tater!!'
A good sized potato was handed him,

ACROSS THE PACIFIC.
Influence Of the "Great Circle" on the

Influence Of the "Great Circle" on the
Journey to Manila.
If you wanted to go from the Pana-
ma canal to Yokohama which Of these
two would be the shorter route? First,
across the ocean to Hawaii and from
there to Yokohama, or. second, up
along the coast to San Francisco and
then directly across the Pacific to Asia?
Nearly everybody would answer in
favor Of the Hawaiian route. But the
navigators tell lis the journey is 26e
miles shorter by way Of San Francisco.
The great circle" does It. Its infu-
ence on distance sends ships from San
Francisco to Manila by way Of the
.Alcutian islands. Actually vessels
would so much farther north than they
do but for the encouragement Of the
United States photographic bureau at
Washington, which advises a central
route, more than POO miles longer than
the great circle, in order to escape the
fogs and ice of the far north.
The Hawaiian Islands are frequently
described as 1.-The crossroads of the Pa.
citic." Their people are naturally look.
ing forward to wonderful commercial
development. They will doubtless en-
joy substantial progress as q CONNER

ocean currents and in prevailing winds
and in fuel costs favor Honolulu as a

member that these islands were plant

all was silent. In a few minutes she
would hear another shovelful tossed.

heard a pick strike a stone, but Of this
she was not sure. She could not To-
cate the sounds, but it seemed to her
that they came from Il corner of the
lot in rear Of the cabin.
She was tempted the next morning
to tell her husband tlLat she had heard
the sounds repeated. but r%efrained.
realizing that he would think some
thing had gone wrong with her. AS
soon as he had departed for the store
! she went out to the rear Of what was
u four acre lot, half expecting to find
that ome claim jumper had been dig
ging for gold. No sign of earth thrown
up appeared.
There was a thick underground sep
arating her from where she had seem
ed to neal the sounds. and passing
through it she came to the extreme
corner Of the lot. The ground was
Just as it had always been. The sur
face was uneven. and a ledge Of red
stone a few feet high furnished a con-
venient seat. She sat down on 1t and
idly picked up a loose piece Of the
stone. Examining it. she noticed that
it presented a rather singular appear
ance. Her father had often shown her
such pieces of ore. which. he said,
We're very rich in gold.
Ellen took the fragment to the cabin
and put it in her bureau drawer; then,
taking her fathers pick and shovel,
she went back to the spot from which
she had taken the ton and began to
dig.
Since the place was concealed by
underground, Mark did not notice the
excavation. Ellen, who had had a long
experience IN the appearance OF ore
dug on till she came to something thai
looked worth examination. Taking
specimens. the next day. instead of dig
ging, she carried them to an assayer.
One evening when Mark came home
from work looking distressed on &C

%forcboded his discharge. Ellen threw
her arms around his neck. cXclaimtng:
