White SIavers i'm Trouble.

George Plaster, an automobile salesman
of Bluemont, Va will probably be arrest

parents of the girl have warrant sworn

succeeded in escaping from the man, who
had hired the John Golf iitney. just out
side OF Boonsboro, on the way to Ha-
gerstown. She walked back TO Young's
garage and told the following story:
On Tuesday morning Plaster came 10

her will, to Shepherdstown, and on to-

much comfort and pleasure as any OF
these his latter days have afforded him.
The open-air service last Sunday
evening on the college campus was one
OF the most enjoyable that has yet been
held, and another very large congregation
was in attendance. The sermon was by
Rev. r. E. L. Strider, pastor OF St. Mat
thew's Episcopal Church OF Wheeling,
formerly of this county, and many OF Mr..
Strider's friends from various sections OF
county were here to hear him. His ser
mon was timely helpful-beautifully ex-
pressed and eloquently presented-and
the people listened attentively and heard
him gladly. His subject was the leading
of large lives in small places, and he told
how the Lord of heaven when He came
to earth selected for His abiding place the
insignificant town OF Nazareth instead OF
a great city. Not environment, he said,
contracts the usefulness OF men and
women, for there is opportunity every
where and great lives may be lived IN
humble surroundings. A man is large or
small according as his thoughts are noble or
mean, and Jesus Christ grew in grace in
the most insignificant of villages and be-
came an example for all men OF all times
without regard TO the fact that His life
work was in a CONSTRUCTED place. Mr..
Strider's sermon was genuinely up
lifting, and the large audience was deeply
impressed. The music was, as usual,
very good. Service as usual next Sunday
evening at 6.l5.

Devoted Dogs.

From London Tit Bits.
Animals. and especially dogs. can be
most sincere mourners- Near Grey
friars Church, Edinburgh, stands the
statue of a dog bearing this inscrip-
ton:
GREYFRIARs BOBBY.
From the life, Just before his death.
TRIBUTE
To the affectionate fidelity Of
GREYFRIARS BOBBY.
In 1858 this faithful dog followed the remains
Of his master to Greyfriars Churchyard, and
fingered near the spot until his death
in 1872.
Erected by the Baroness Burdett-Coutts 1872.
Think of it! Fourteen years! In the
winter Bobby lay under a fiat tomb
stone for shelter and he was found
dead on his masters grave one morn
ing after having waited patiently for
fourteen long years. Surely a remark
able instance of animal fidelity.
On the top of Helvellyn a monum ent
is erected to mark the place from
which a man fell many years ago and
lost his life. He was accompanied by
his dog when he fell, and this faithful
animal for three months watched be-
side the body until it was at last dis
covered.
The remarkable case of a dog who
insisted on attending the funeral of
his master entirely on his own initia-
tive occurred lately at High Wyeombe.

Joffre and Napoleon. -
\ the Manchester Guardian

From the Manchester Guardian.
A saying of Gen. Joffre which-haa
never yet been given the publicity
which it deserves comes from a corre-
spondent who vouches for its accu.
racy. 1t illustrates charmingly the
modesty of the man who has saved
France. The general was explaining
to favored American visitor the po-
sition of the French army intrench-
ments on the plain beneath the hill
where they stood, and he traced the
course of the German lines beyond.
It's a big job" said the visitor But
1 guess even Napoleon. If he had had
all your troops to fight with here would
have had to dig himself in just the
same"
All said Joffre. slowly, stroking his
chin, Napoleon! No, 1 think Napoleon
would have thought of something,"
