CLAIMS HIGH HONOR
Lovers of Old Yeocomico Church
Claim Washington Was
ChriStened There.

n N ANY residents of Westmore-
I'M land county. Virginia, who
are descended from colonial
families, assert that Wash
lngton was christened in old Yeocom-
leo church. one of the quaintest and
most Interesting of the old churches
Of America. They have no record evil
dence to offer in support of their con-
tention, for the registers of the parish
drir>g the colonial period we're de-
stroyed in the Revolutionary war. and
for proof of the great honor claimed
for that church they can only point to
local tradition that he was chris
tened in ''old Yeocomioo," and to an
ancient letter bearing on the subject.
However, traditions. or at least those
Of Virginia. are not to be brushed
lightly aside, and in the absence OF
authentic record evidence are at least
worthy of consideration in arriving
at conclusion as to any doubtful
matter of history.
Old Yeocomico church, a quaint
relic of colonial Virginia, is built in
the form of a cross or hexagon. Its
solid walls have weathered the storms
Of two centuries, and it has suffered
the devastation of three wars. 1t was
a favorite camping place of soldiers
of the Revolution. of the War of 1872

Many Women Use Cigarettes.

Women putting cigarettes in restau-
rants is SO common in New York that
it no longer attracts attention, but
whom they do their smoking in hotel
lobbies mere man is sure to give them
the once over. One afternoon recently
an attractive young woman was en-
gagged in an animated discussion with
a man in the foyer of the Vanderbilt
hotel. She gesticulated with graceful
waves of the hand and tapped neatly
shod foot impatiently against the floor.
He fumbled for a cigarette case,
extracted a cigarette and lighted
it. Then, as if remembering his
manners, he extended the ciga-
rette case with an apology. The
young woman smiled her thanks,
took cigarette, rolled it deftly
between her fingers and perched it be-
tween her lips. She motioned her
companion to give her light, which
he did. Then she took deep puff and
returned to the subject matter in hand
OF course, everybody in the lobby tried
to appear unconscious. They looked
at the palms, admired the cut flowers
on the desk and then went back to a
discreet and veiled contemplation of
the absorbed couple, enmeshed in their
own problems and cigarette smoke.

LOVER PAID FOR HIS WIFE
Indian Chief Called Her His Daughter,
But Sweetheart Found She Was
White Girl.

There lives in small city in one
CT the western states happy old cou-
pie who passed through many thrilling
experiences during those times when
the West was in the making. The old
man is fond of relating these expert
ences, and he often tells of how he
found a wife among the Brule Sioux.
who were at that time the most rest
less and troublesome of the plains In
dianS
At the close of the Civil war this
man was about twenty-five years of
age, and of an adventurous nature.
He went to St. Louis, Mo-, where he
fell in with a party of traders bound
up the Missouri river to barter for buff
falo skins with the Indians The ven
ture was successful, and after year
spent in the wilderness the party start
ed back, their fiat boats loaded with
the baled buffalo hides.
One evening the party stopped for
the night near an Indian encampment,
and here the young man met what he
considered to be the most beautiful
Indian girl he had ever seen. She
was apparently about twenty years of
age, and although she was dark COM
plexione6 and had beautiful black hair
and eyes she did not possess the fea-
lures of an Indian. Anyway. the
young man gave little thought to her
nationality. 1t was case of love at
first sight, and although his compan-
ions resumed their journey the follow
ing morning, the young man remained
to court the maiden, who it appeared
her hand, and, according to Indian
custom, paid the chief the purchase
price Of the girl.
The girl, according to the chief, was
not Indian, but of white parentage.
She had been adopted by the chief
when she was baby, her parents hav-
ing been killed by the Indians on one
of their raids against the frontier set
Elements. Subsequent Investigations
proved the truth of the chiefs story,
and eventually the girl was able to
get in touch with many of her rela-
tives in the East.
The young man took the girl to st.
Louis, where she was, placed under
! the care of relative to learn the
white mans language and ways of liv-
ing. A year later the marriage took
| place. After few years spent in the
East they returned to the prairies,
where they took up land and where
they have resided happily ever since.

SUFFERING AT VALLEY FORGE
General Washington and His Little
Army Encamped There One Hun
dred and Thirty-Nine Years Ago.

General Howe, having sailed forth
from Philadelphia. where he had es-
tablished his headquarters, several
times during the early part of Decem-
ber to give battle to General Washing
ton. but finding the latter's forces
were too formidable, Howe finally de-
cided to go into winter quarters in
Philadelphia on December 9, and
Washington, seeing that the campaign
on the part of Howe would hardly be
resumed before spring, and not hav-
ing an army formidable enough for at
tack, decided to go into winter quar-
ters himself He selected Valley
Forge, about thirty miles northwest Of
Philadelphia. Washington and his
army arrived there on December IL.
1777 and at once began the erection
of huts.
Although the winter was intensely
cold, the men were obliged to work
at the buildings, with nothing to sup
port life but flour mixed with water,
which they baked into cakes at the
open fires. The horses died of star
walton by the hundreds, and the men
were obliged to haul their provisions
and firewood. Sickness spread rapid

Lafayette in after years, were in
want of everything; they had neither
coats, hats, shirts nor shoes; their
feet and their legs froze until they be-

WHAT MAKES GIRL POPULAR?
Young Lady Who Is Disrespectful to
Her Parents Will Not Long Re-
tain Respect of Others.

Every girl has the perfectly nat
ural desire to be popular with the
other sex, and every girl is interested
in knowing the secret of such popu-
larity. Some girls have the idea that
the way to have good time is to
break away from the recognized rules
of social life.
The Nfree-and-easy, reckless type of
grill may receive good deal of atten-
ton of certain kind, but it is safe
to say that men do not really care for
such girl. Certainly they do not
have any respect for her. They may
enjoy a summer Irritation with her,
but such girl never enters seriously
into their thoughts. The girl who is
kind and thoughtful to her parents
is the girl whom they admire.
The girl who is disrespeceful to her
parents will not long retain the re-
spect of others. Men know very well
that girl who deceives her mother
cannot be trusted. A good daughter
has in her the making of good wife,
and a man remembers this when he
begins to think seriously of matri-
mony.-Leslie's Weekly.

California Syrup of Figs" can't
harm tender stomach,

Every mother realizes, after giving
her children California Syrup OF

Stirring the Contents With stick.

Thrice around the ships go down" the
lightning flashed very brightly, the
girl saw ship sinking, and she
dropped the stick she was stirring
with and ran into the cave.

dragged her back, telling her to stir

to the girl. She would stir in the op-

sang Thrice around, the ships go
down." and as she stirred the storm
ceased, but the old witch and the
witch daughter were whirling around
SO fast they did not notice it.
Suddenly the girl heard a great
splash, and, looking in the direction
from which it came, she saw chariot,
drawn by two horses with golden
names, and driving them was a man
with white beard, and in his hand he
carried golden rod, on the end of
which were three prongs. The girl
dropped the stick and the old witch
and the daughter dropped upon the

daughter screamed for him to look out.
"Oh! she cannot hurt me-" he said,
"but / will get her out of the way at
once" And he touched the cat with
his rod, and she became a stone.
The old witch and her witch child
began to beg for mercy when they
saw what had happened to the cat,
and promised never to stir up the sea
again if he would spare them. The
man did not answer them, but turned
to the good girl and said: You are to
come with me; the old witch stole you

from 75 cents to several dollars.

one at ten-cent store, attach it to the

quail. The quail were secured on the
Mexican highland and will be liberated

The teachers of Sunday-school
classes should always make sure that
their scholars understand what they
are taught, as the following dialogue
which recently took place will show:

Scholar-He arose and smote them
hip and thigh!
Teacher-Quite right! Now what
does that mean?
Scholar - Why, that he up and

All this work is done. with amazing
cleverness. by machinery, and the
blouse may be bought for a moderate
price, something like four or five dol
lars. When the embroidery and sew
ing Is done by hand the blouse will
bring more money in the shops, but
the needlewoman may make it at

for less than the machine-made gar
ment must bring to be profitable to
the retailer.
At the right a blouse of white
crepe de chine is shown, in which ma
chine stitching, in black. furnishes
very elegant and graceful decoration.
This idea was brought out by a mo-
diste of Paris in the earliest costume
showings. and is proving very useful
to makers of blouses. The blouse is
almost perfectly plain, with high col
lar and deep cuffs. It is finished and
stitched with exquisite neatness. and

gance of tailormade STYLES.

FLOWER NOTES

Make out your lists for seeds and
plants early.
Too much fertilizer develops a weak
but rapid growth.
All nonbloomers should be stored in
the cellar or other suitable place in
order to give room to the towering
and foliage plants.
Evaporation takes place slowly from
glazed pots, and these may be used
with advantage In the hot air OF the
