What's Gone to MIR. Rissler's Head?

The Charles Town Advocate last
week declared that the suffrage victory
had gone to the Register mans head.
Our readers may guess for themselves
what has gone to Br'er Rissler's head
after they read the following snake
story which we take from the last issue
of the Advocate:
A snake with a faculty for disjoint-
ing itself and assembling its parts
again was discovered on the street in
Middleway on Saturday. Warner Russ
colored man, was the first to find it.
After striking it with a stick, Russ
found to his amazement that the snake
had uncoupled itself, the dismembered
parts giving an exhibition drill thai
made him rub his eyes to determine
whether he was dreaming or not. Their
Chas. ]. Shaull. a reputable citizen oil
the Town, was called, and he took q
look at the strange reptile, seeing |,
assemble its disjointed parts about as
freight train would couple its cars
together in getting ready for journey
over the road. Russ took the snake
home and burned it in his kitchen
stove. No such snake as that could
be killed in any other way, he thought
and so ended its interesting career by
cremating ii.

Fire Yesterday Morning.

What might have been a very de-
structive fire was narrowly averted
Wednesday morning, when a blaze was
started somehow the attic OF the
old Byers property at the corner of
Main and Duke streets. one part OF
which is occupied by John Wilson and
his family and the other by Mrs. Martha
Kearney. Smoke rolled from both
ends of the long, rambling structure,
but fortunately the fire was confined to
one end, and those first on the scene
were able to check the blaze with the
aid Of garden hose and buckets OF
water. Comparatively little damage
was done, but as the building is of a
very inflammable character and ad-
joins other frame structures, the folks
on the hill were bit uneasy for a
time. Fortunately there was strong
pressure of water from the town sys.
tenn, and the firemen were soon mas
tiers Of the situation.
Mrs. I. D. Woman carried of the
honors as volunteer fireman. She hac
a section of small hose with which she
was sprinkling the street when the fire
was discovered. The hose was Ions
enough to reach across the street ane
she went right after the fire. o
course a woman cannot throw straight
but Mrs. Woman used her wits anC
got Willis CroW to throw stone
through the upper window, and a fair
sized stream of water thus reached tn,
blaze and did much 10 quench it.

Bad Eggs and Short Weight Butter

We have been requested by certain
merchants of ShepherdStown to call
attention to the disregard Of law by
country people who are marketing bad
eggs and short-weight butter. This is a
form of cheating that is not only alb
sblutely dishonest but is in direct
violation of the State law which for
bids such transactions and carries a
heavy penalty for those who are guilty
OF such practices. There's hardly a
merchant in the town but has trouble
with rotten eggs and short-weight but
ter prints that are brought to his store
by dishonest persons. The merchants
usually escape loss themselves or to
their customers by weighing the but
ter, as the law requires, but the bad
egg proposition is a different matter
A town storekeeper few weeks age
received twelve butter prints, each oil
which was supposed to weigh a pound
The twelve actually weighed a little
over nine pounds. In another in.
stance, in one basket of eggs that was
taken in there were two dozen rotter
ones that were 50 bad they could no.
have been put in by mistake. A Gus
toner who had bought two dozen eggs
at certain store brought them bacl
after having broken Ave Of them, al
Of which were rotten. All the mer'
chants are justifiable in their condemna
ton of those who deliberately bring tc
town products that they know are
unfit or short weight.

the names OF the commanders from

Tragedy ut Club House.

Grover c. Anderson. OF Hasersiown,
Familiarity known as "PolH." COM
mitted suicide last Sunday afternoon
by shooting himself through the head
at River View clubhouse a couple Of
miles east Of Shepherdstovn. on the
Maryland side Of the river. With
some friends he had motored to the
clubhouse, as VAS his custom on Sum
days. During the afternoon he ex-
eused himself from the others and
went 10 q bedroom. where he sent a
bullet through his brain. He was
found there lying across bed uncon-
seious soon afterward. and died while
he was being taken to the Hagers-
town hospital. IL is said that he was
respondent over financial difficulties.
Mr.. Anderson, who was 80 years old,
is survived BY his wife and two chill
dren.
IL is rumored that the freauenters
OF some OF the "club-houses" along the
river spend their Sundays in gambling
and II is believed that more than one
man has lost great deal more money
than he could afford. Indeed, il is
whispered that in some cases such
serious losses have been sustained that
the victims have been placed in most
unpleasant predicaments.

Badly Hurt BY a Truck.

George w. Coils, a well-known
thresherman Of Leetown, was badly in
jured Wednesday Of last week by being
struck by a motor truck driven by
Granville McAtee, OF Charles Town.
Mr.. Coils was with his threshing outfit
on the Leetown road near the ]. E. Wat
son farm, when the truck. loaded with
wood, was moving toward Charles
Town. He stepped down from the
engine just as the truck was about to
pass him and was struck by it. The
true driver says he blew his horn,
but Mr.. Coils apparently did not hear
it, and was struck before he was
aware Of its approach. The ligaments
of his right knee were torn from their
normal position causing an injury that
was not only very painful, but which
will disable him for many weeks. He
was taken to the Charles Town Hos
pital for treatment.

New Telephone Line.

The Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Company-the Bell system-is
constructing a new line between
Shepherdstown and Sharpsburg. For
some years past its wires have been
strung on poles Of the Western Union
Telegraph Company along the Norfolk
& Western Railway, but this has been
found to be bothersome and not nearly
so accessible as il they were along the
public road. The new line is now
we'll under way, a considerable proper
ton Of the new poles having been Sc,
along the public road. 1t is said tina,
the wires will be carried across the
Potomac river here by a cable which
will be stretched from shore to shore
They are now attached to the N. &
w. Railway bridge. AS the river is
from 600 to 800 feet wide at Shep.
herdstown it will take a pretty sub.
stantial cable to bridge the distance.

RICH in TRADITION
White House RepIete With Ten
der Human Memories.
Associations Dear to the Heart Of Ev-
cry American Cling About the
Historic Home Of the Chief
Executive.

When President Wilson, because OF
his illness, received the king of the
Belgians while propped up in bed, with
torn sweater about his shoulders,
and told the prince of Wales that the
bed in which he lay had. been occupied
by Baron Renfrew, later King Edward
VII, and Abraham Lincoln, he added
traditions to the host that already
cling about the White House. With
this introduction the National Geo
graphic society has issued a bulletin
on the home of the presidents which,
1t says, has more tender human men,
cries than any other public building
in America. From cellar, where col
ored "mammies" have cooked for pres
idents, pies 'like mother used to
make" to attic, where the Roosevelt
children played and romped, there are
associations which range from the
quaint to the sublime.
President Wilson's enforced dis
habille recalls the premeditated negli-
gee-worn slippers, yarn stockings and
old suit-by which Jefferson sought to
impress the British ambassador with
American democracy when that Off
cial arrived in full official dress to pre-
sent his credentials. Early morning
callers on John Quincy Adams had to
cool their heels until that president
finished three chapters in the Bible
and walked down back Of the White
House for swim in the Potomac. To
drop in" at the White House eve
nings, quite the sociable thing to do
during Jackson's terms, meant finding
the chief executive before an open
fire, in an old loose coat, doing duty
as smoking jacket putting at long
pipe with a bowl of red clay.
Every room of the White House
abounds in history. The oak-paneled
state dining room knows dinners of
the homely sort that Jefferson gave
when the Washington village butcher
brought along his son, because he
heard there was to be an extra place
at the table; of the picturesque kind,
