sengers. The biggest days business
was about $500 fares. Mr.. Fleigh
used two complete outfits of engine
and tender and three cars each on
the figure 8 track, with tunnel and
.crossover, etc. He was assisted by
Mrs. Fleigh, who sold the tickets;
Robert Fleigh, who was the boy en-
gineer, and Harry Fleigh. conductor,
who wore a uniform, with brass
buttons, conductors cap, etc. Many
prominent people were hauled over
this miniature railway, such as gov
errors of states, mayors and mem
bers of the Diplomatic Corps, many
of whom spent the summer at Blue
Ridge. All marveled at the small
locomotive 15-inch gauge) fired
with hard coal and carrying $50
pounds of steam and hauling three
cars of $40 pounds each, and 25
adults. In 80 years of operation no
serious accidents occurred and no
persons were seriously injured In
fact there were very few derail-
ments and only a very few pas
sengers were slightly Jared or
scratched. This was due to t he
careful and business-like manage
ment and the fact that all of the
equipment and roadbed was at all
times kept in the very best shape
by Mr.. Fleigh, and this was bigger
job than you would think, as after
all, this miniature railway was just
a mere toy, as it were. The rail
way outfit was sold in April, 1913,
for installation at Braddock Heights
Park. It was built at Niagara Falls,
N. Y, and was originally made for
the st. Louis Worlds Fair and the
Jamestown Exhibition.

Horse and Buggy Days
BY OLDTEIER

made several world tours with
Sousa. These constituted the
amusements at the park.
Moonlight excursions from this
city and Baltimore were popular in
novations.
James White, Western Maryland
Railroad tinship foreman at Union
Bridge, regularly spent the summer
at Pen-Mar and was dance floor
manager and also taught dancing.
Mr.. McFadden for a number of
years was the chief of police, his
deputies being Mr.. Spencer and Will
liam Hahn. These men also helped
to keep the park clean.
An early merry-go-round was pro-
PEELED by foot pedals by the riders
on the wooden horses, but later the
power was furnished by means of a
gasoline engine.
A trolley line from Waynesboro
and Greencastle to the park was
built and started in 1904 (the year
of the Baltimore fire. and was
means of transportation for many
people.
Glen Alton Springs never failed
in furnishing plenty of good water
for the park, but in subsequent
years it became necessary to board
it up for the reason that some pic
nickers would throw waste into the
spring. This spring also furnished
water for the Blue Mountain House.
The Blue Mountain Express ran
through the summer months on
week days from Baltimore to Hag-
erstown. The Pen-Mar Express, an
excursion train, operated between
Baltimore and Pen-Mar daily. The
Western Maryland Railroad had
several trains per day from Balti-
more to Hagerstown and through
June, July and August, on Thurs
day Saturday and Sunday, there was
a special train from York and
Gettysburg.
Later on railroad track was
laid from the main line to the park.
Before this was done people had to
walk from and to the station. Will
liam N. Fleigh, now retired and liv-
ing at $40 Oak Hill Avenue, for a
number of years an engineer on the
railroad, was at the throttle when
the first train of four cars pulled up
the incline to the park.
William Libby, of Philadelphia,
put in a $4,000 merry-go-round in
1907, which at his death was bought
and operated by William Bowers, of
Baltimore and Waynesboro, until
1912, with Mr.. Spangler as partner.
Pen-Mar Park is about 1900 feet
above sea level, and commands a
beautiful and extensive view of the
valley below Mt Quirak is 1000
feet above sea level and from tow
er a fine view is afforded of the
other, or east side, of the mountain.
This tower has recently been used as
a fire tower. The observatory,
which crowned the top of High
Rock, has been removed. The whole
area once occupied by this beautiful
park has been restored to its orig
inal mountain status.
Mr.. Fleigh installed miniature
railroad in 1904, and obtained a 60
day leave of absence in the summer
to operate it. He retired in 1925,
but continued to operate the rail
way until the park was abolished in
1943. In 80 years of business the
Pen-Mar miniature railway hauled
a total of approximately 100000 pas

Modern Marriage
It's Good to Realize Thot Wife
Deserves More Than Board and Keep
By Dr.. Paul Popenoe

Mr.. A. doesn't know bargain
when he sees one.
Yet he prides himself on being
a shrewd business man. He Is in
real estate, and boasts that he
knows values. It is strange that
he is so ignorant of values in
other lines. Many other husbands
are just as ignorant as Mr.. A.,
however. They don't realize the
possibilities in marriage-merely
from a business point of view!
Mr.. AS wife is an intelligent
and attractive woman. She could
earn good salary in the business
world; in fact, she did so before
she married him. and she
had good prospects of advance
ment. But she is not asking q
high salary from him. Unbeliev-
able as it may seem, she is willing
to work for him all the rest of
her life, merely for her board
and keep-and for a bonus which
wouldn't cost him a cent.
Where on earth can he find
another bargain like that? Yet
he is turning it down and may
lose her services, because he is
too stingy to pay that bonus
which wouldn't cost him one red
cent.
That bonus. Of course, is just
a little affection, a little praise,
a little love. Surely no husband
should begrudge his wife such
inexpensive luxuries! But Mr.. A.
won't give them. AS far as he is
concerned, his wife will have to
be satisfied with mere board and
keep. If she wants more than that
for her lifework, she has married
the wrong man.
He doesn't see any reason why
he should tell his wife that he
loves her. He says he told her
that when he asked her to marry
him, and it still holds good. He
doesn't see why he should COM
pliment her on her appearance
or on turning out q good meal

those trees had seemed most won

even through the kindly haze of
nostalgia remembering, | had to
admit that they paled before the
brilliant beauty / now beheld.
Christmas trees were cheap when
| was a child; but wages were
small. and families were inclined
to be large-at least, ours was. So
our tree was seldom a large one.
Candles, of course, provided the
lighting effect and were lighted on

candles had to last the season. The

year TO year, and diminished in

that her tree DIDN'T have every

Christmas tree, it didn't have ANY
THINGl | wanted to tell her, too,
that my mother and father didn't
plan their tree to outdo or impress
their friends, but to bring JOY and
inspiration to their children. My
mother and father didn't send us
children off on Christmas Eve
while they had a cocktail party;
they went, along with us, to church
even if we had to wade through
two miles of snow drifts on foot.
If the snow was deep, they carried
us in their arms.
| didn't tell Harriet anything at

true feeling fol Christmas that has

Glamor won't make a CHRIST

tree may arrest the eye. and yet
leave the soul unstirred. A real
Christmas tree should be gilded
with love and faith, not with blue
or silver paint-paint appeals only
to the eye, not to the spirit. A real
Christmas tree does not need to
match the color scheme of room.

of Christmas within ones heart.

think that her tree would outdo
anything that even the store had to

thusiastic comments, finally say
