Right here, little book, Eliene said
strange thing.
"You are right, Margie, about mar

of love-"
But I never said there was a
stronger tie"
"You said it when you spoke of old
people needing companionship more

common. They both are fond of so
cial functions. You ought to have
seen them dancing together the 9TH

"Oh, Eliene-please. don't joke me
like that"
"But it is true, my dear. They
were dancing, although they were
not proficient as you and Jim. Yet
they did not make bad looking cou-

''But, Eliene, Mother Waverly-I
beg her pardon, Mother Trent-does
not approve of dancing. She was al

Yes, isn't it queer that after all
the fuss she has made about private
weddings that she slipped away
quietly and got married without any
fuss or feathers?"
'tDo you know anything about him,
Eliene?"
"OnIy that he is a man, think, of
independent income. l believe he
was once a banker in the small town

it is splendid thing, Margie, for with
her peculiar temperament she must

SEVERAL OFFICERS FITTED
TO HEAD MILITIA BUREAU
Owing to Importance Of Position,
Successor to Gen. Mills Likely
Will Be Chosen Soon

Owing to the Importance Of the duties
devolving on the militia bureau Of the
War Department at this time in con-
nection with the movements of militia
organizations to and from the Mexican
border. it is expected that prompt ac-
ton will be taken toward filling the
vacancy at the head of that bureau
caused by the recent death of Maj. Gen.
Albert l.. Mills.
Among the general officers mentioned
as possessing special qualifications who
are available for detail as chief of the
militia bureau are Brig. Gem. Charles
G. Morton, commanding the 7th Bri-
gade, at Douglas, Ariz; Brig Gen.
Henry A. Green, commanding the 1st
Brigade, at Eagle Pass, Tex. and Brig.
Gen. Edward H. P1ummer. commanding
the 4th Brigade, at Fort Ringgold, Ariz.
Several officers in the Philippines are
regarded as well equipped for the re-
quirements Of the position, but 1t Is
understood that there are reasons why
the Office should be filled without the
delay involved by the selection Of an
officer so far from Washington. Until
an appointment is made Col George
W. McIver of the infantry, who was
Gen. Mills chief assistant, will con-
tinue in charge of the affairs Of the
bureau.

are aroused over the report that oys-
ters in the upper part of Chesapeake
bay have been found dead over large
areas. and that the Maryland conser-

ter. and around Craighill channel, where
during previous seasons dredging
proved profitable, have been largely
affected by the blight. Purse netters
working in the upper bay. of Swan

and in good condition.

more will have to turn to the Potomac
for supply. This will affect the sup
ply on the market here. and may cause
higher prices

mac state that the beds are we'll filled

SAFEGUARDING LIGHTHOUSE.
Stone Barrier Created to Prevent
Damage by Drifting Ice.

To protect the lighthouse on Seven
Foot Knoll. in upper Chesapeake bay.
against drifting ice. stone is being piled
on the shoal above and below the sta
tion. In the spring, when the ice
breaks up, immense masses of ice come
down the bay from the Susquehanna
and other rivers about its head, and the
Seyen-Foot Knoll has been in danger
of being damaged or carried away. 1t
stands out in the bay a mile or two
from the shore and is exposed to the
sweep of the ice.
This method of protection has been
adopted at Maryland point, Matthias
point and other lighthouses that are
out in the Potomac river. and the pro-
lection has been very effective. The
ice strikes the stone some distance
above and below the light and is
broken up.
