flic jShcphcrdstorcn gcgislcr. Thursday, May 6, 1909. "A little word in kindness spoken. A motion or a tear: Mas often healed the heart that's broken And made a friend sincere. A word, a look has crushed to earth, Kull many a budding flower.

One of the friends of our youthful days. John B.

The model school and training department of Shepherd College was commenced yesterday in the east wing of the old college building, with Miss Frieda Beinhart, of Cincinnati, in charge. A good-sized class of children has been secured, but more can be accommodated. Children under five cannot be received, nor is it desired to take any above the second grade of the public school. The children are instructed in clay and sand modeling, paper cutting, etc.

Everything needed is furnished by the school, except paper. The tuition fee is a dollar a month. Some of the young folks of the town have gotten into a habit that is liable tc get them into trouble, namely, "borrowing" teams hitched along the streets, without the consent of the owners. Mon day night a farmer from west ot town missed his horse and buggy from the place where he had left them, and latei found that the horse had gone all the way home without a driver. It was a spirited animal and it is remarkable that it had nol broken the vehicle or caused an accident of some sort.

The practice of driving oft with teams belonging to other persons should be stopped. Attention is called to the statement ol the Farmers' Bank of Shepherdstown in this issue of the Register. The Farmers' Bank is growing steadily, and during the past year it has made very noticeable gains. Its last statement, in November, 1908, showed total resources of $101,639.53. Today it has advanced to $127,707.79.

Anthony, of Bates College, Lewiston, Maine, to raise funds for the purchase of John Brown's Fort, near Harper's Ferry, and have it moved to grounds at Storer College, where it proposed to convert it into a library building for the school.

The fort was taken down sixteen years ago and removed to the World's Fair at Chicago where it was rebuilt for exhibition purposes. It attracted little interest there and was brought back to Harper's Ferry where it was again rebuilt, the old engirn house being reproduced as nearly like the original as it was possible to make it one mile up the Shenandoah river fron Harper's Ferry. The Lutheran Church preaches the Gos pel in many languages. In Chicago shi nrparhps the Word eleven laneuaees Her growth in this country last year wa; more than sixty thousand.

PERSONAL NOTES. I Mr. St. John Byer, who spent the past winter in Washington, has returned to Shepherdstown for the summer. Mr.

i Byer has designed and recently had com? pleted a very beautiful little window for one of the vestibules in the new Lutheran Church here. The window is a reprer sentation in beautifully tinted opalescent glass of Luther's cross within a heart, the heart the center of a rose, and it is as appropriate and suggestive as it is handsome. It is a memorial to Mr. Byer's father, John Byer, who died some 1 fifty-five years ago. Paymaster J.

S. Phillips, of the U.S. Navy, who for the past year or two has been stationed at Charleston, S. has 1 been transferred to Baltimore, where he will probably have a long term of shore duty. Mrs.

Phillips with her little grand1 son, James Berkeley, has arrived here and opened her home in this place, where she will remain during the summer. Pay- master Phillips will run up from Balti- more each Saturday. Their friends here are pleased to have them home again. Attorney John O. Lemen, who has been 1 at a private sanatarium near Blue Ridge i Summit for the past several weeks, spent last Sunday with his family at his home in this city and several days this week.

We are glad to say that the air and treat- ment at that place have greatly benefitted him and that he is looking better than he ever looked in his Statesman. Mr. Edward W. Athey is in Charleston this week representing Osceola Tribe, of Shepherdstown, at the Great Council of I the improved Order of Red Men of West Virginia, now in session in that place. Mr.

Arnold Carvel, of the Eastern Shore 1 of Maryland, is spending a week with his I Mr Dinmmlri at Rfllpvue. iviu.il, near town. I Miss Louisa Emmert and Miss Helen Grimes, of Denver, Colorado, are here to 1 spend some time with Mrs. Kate W. Rey- Reynolds.

Mrs. John W. Scott and Mrs. John W. Scott, of Philadelphia, are guests in the home of the editor of the Register.

Misses Ida and Eugenia Osbourn, of Duffields, have gone on a visit to Washington, Baltimore and Atlantic City. 1 Misses Mamie and Willie Osborne, of Baltimore, are in Shepherdstown visiting Mrs. W. P. Licklider, their sister.

Mr. Robert Gibson, formerly of Shep- 1 herdstown, continues very ill at his home in Philadelphia. i Mr. E. E.

Miller, of Berkeley county, i was among our callers on Tuesday. Mr. Wm. L. Reinhart visited Dr.

Rey1 nolds at Hancock the past week. Is Natural Gas Coming Soon? I There is reason to believe that the cont struction of a pipe line for natural gas i by the Interstate Natural Gas Company 1 may be commenced within a very short I time. This company, it will be recalled, i i recently secured franchises from a num- I ber of towns and counties, including Shep- i herdstown, Martinsburg and other places i between Weston and Baltimore. News comes from Pittsburg that the Standard Oil Company, which is said to be behind the enterprise, has asked for estimates for a 300-mile natural gas line, and the state- ment is made that the order for the vast amount of steel pipe needed will be placed within a few weeks. It is presumed that the gas to be piped I will come from the Lewis county gas I field, and that it will be brought through I this State and pass inrougn me eastern Panhandle on the way to Washington and Baltimore.

The aim of the company is I to put the natural gas into these cities, and on the way tap as many of the larger towns as possible. The building of a pipe line 300 miles in extent is recognized as a great undertak- 1 ing, and will require a large sum of mon- ey and a considerable length of time. The mountainous country through which it will have to pass and the limestone ridges of the Shenandoah Valley are no trif- ling obstacles to overcome, but the Stan- dard Company has the money and the men, and stops for nothing when its plans are once made. 1 We hope that the reports that work is soon be begin are true and that Shepherdstown may enjoy the luxury and comfort of natural gas at an early date. A Remarkable Sale.

The sale of the personal effects of the 1 late Joseph E. Engle near Shenandoah 1 Junction last Thursday attracted one of 1 the largest crowds ever seen at a public 1 sale in this county. Men, women and children from every section of this county and from Berkeley were present, everyI body interested in the thousand and one articles offered for sale. Mr. Engle and I his father before him had accumulated a remarkable lot of goods, farm imnlpnipntc and hlack smith tools, supplies of various sorts, etc.

M. P. Crowl was the auctoineer and he was assisted by T. J. West.

Most of the articles sold brought big prices, and al' though there were many that were eni tirely useless, a buyer was found for every article offered. Mr. Engle, evidently, never threw anything away. When an article became unserviceable it was put away and a new one bought in its place. For instance, there were about five coffee-pots in the house.

When the coffee-pot in use got leaky, it was puj away in the garret and another bought, which in time was also stored away. The same thing seemed to be true of farming machinery. Although Mr. Engle had upto-date implements, he also preserved all the old ones, and there were ancient tools i and machinery that had been discarded a 1 half century or more ago. There were many fine chickens, and they brought as high as $1.15 each.

The sale was con; ducted by J. B. Osbourn, the executor of the will. 5 Mother's Day Services. "Mother's Day" will be observed in Shepherdstown on Sunday by exercises to be held in the Shepherd College audi, torium under the auspices of Caledonia i Lodge, No.

An interesting game of baseball was played here last Saturday between Shepherd College and St. James College teams, the visitors winning by a score of 2 to 1. The weather was rough and the audience small. Features of the game were the spectacular catching of difficult flies by LJnseld and the good pitching of Athey, who struck out fifteen men. Gittings and Grove were the battery for St.

James and Athey and Gardiner for Shepherd College. Hits were scarce, Athey giving one and Gittings two.

L. Ma grader and F. O. Woerner, while Fletche Kemp and D. W.

Maddox, of Easter College, took the negative. The argu ments on both sides were exceptional! good and delivered in almost faultles style, and all of the contestants were lib erally applauded. The orations were E. A. Browne, of Eastern College, whos subject was "Our Country United," am Wilmer B.

The declamation were delivered by young ladies, Mis Anna Hause, of Shepherd College, ren lering "The Sign of the Cross," whit Miss Leslie A. Fox, of Eastern College gave "Ole Mistis."

There was, however courteous restraint of disapproval, am he losing contestants took their defeat ii more so than the peoph general.

It was a bulky, cumbersome piece furniture at the best, and far from beir infallible. Moths would keep away froi your clothes and furs if you were sure I put them in the chest before the first mol rlade its appearance, but, as this seldom or never done because of tf changefulness of our climate, many haii been the bitter disappointments upc bringing out winter furs and clothing upc the approach of cold weather. Considered from a physical standpoin it is a dangerous thing to put away yoi winter wraps too early, and from a finar cial standpoint it is a dangerous thing to get them away early enough. Red Cedar Flakes, the modern scient fic combination of the best known moi preventives, today makes it possible one to take the proper care of their winti wraps and know that they will be in prof er condition when wanted. Red Cedar Flakes have none of the advantages of the old cedar chest ar have more than all of its good points, cause this preparation is manufacture from Red Cedar sawdust in combinatic with those things that have proven to good moth preventives.

They are superior to any other preventive in tha instead of the goods being merely sui rounded with Red Cedar wood, the Re Cedar Rakes may be distributed through out the garments and thus given absolui protection. They have an agreeable, re freshing odor of Red Cedar, which iseas ly removed from the goods by hangir them for an hour or two in the open ai They are cleanly, effective and convei ient.
