Ruth Richard' Fnncrul.
From the Welling Dally Mall (Knnsiis).
Mr. A. A. Richards is a son of
Hon. John T. Kichards of Buck Val
ley. Editor.
A. A. Richards, editor of the
Mail, arrived last night from
Washington, D. C. When ho re
ceived a telegram announcing his
little girl's death, he tried to get
a leave of absence for his sou
Clarence so that they could come
together, but was compelled to
start alone. He stopped only fif
ty minutes on the entire trip,
thirty at Chicago and twenty at
Kansas City.
The news of his child's death
was received by him only a day
before he had intended to start
home for the holidays. He had
been joyfully planning little sur
prises for the child and thinking
of a happy home coming, when
the cold words of a telegram rent
his heart The shock was terri
ble, and the three days of hurry
ing home were days of suspense,
sleeplessness and struggle to
keep from breaking down. Ouly
when he reached his own fireside
did he give way.
This morning after the funeral
sermon when tho casket imbed
ded in flowers was opened that
friends might take a last look at
the features of the sweet child
which in life was fairer than the
flowers, there were many people
present who could not look, some
who had lost little ones of their
own, some to whom the sight of
the bereaved father and mother
brought thoughts of what it would
mean to them if the casket were
in their own homes, others who
thought not so much of their own
as of the sorrow of their friends.
Rev. T. A. West preached the
funeral sermon, making a brief
talk which touched the hearts of
all. Among other consoling
thoughts he referred to the fact
although Ruth was only three
years of age she had accomplish
ed much. She was a bright and
attractive child and had shed
brightness upon the home. She
would leave a precious memory
that would never be forgotten by
her father and mother and broth
ers, grandparents and relatives"
and friends who loved her. Hu
manity is made better by love
and the love of a little child is one
of the sweetest and purest things
in the world. He could not be
lieves that the brief time Ruth
was permitted to live hero was to
be the end. We should forget
the death and keep the memory
to brighten and purify sur lives,
and hope fore a reunion when we
shall have laid down the cares of
earth.
At 12 o'clock the funeral pro
cession started to Oxford where
Ruth was buried beside the
graves of two little brothers
whose spirits will greet her on the
other side.
Old People Made Young.

"If Not, Why Kot."
From Hancock Star.
Berkeley Springs, W. Va.,
December 14, 1900.
Editor Hancock Star: Why
should the McConnellsburg rail
road peoplo not extend their pro
jected railway to tho Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad, crossing the
Potomac River at Hancock, thence
down the Bath or Warm Spring
Valley, with the foot of Warm
Spring Ridge, (a ridge of sand
which took tho first prize at the
World's Fair, and is in sufficient
quantities to supply the world for
centuries) a distance of twenty-,
eight miles from the Potomac Riv
er to Bloomery Furnace, thence
through Bloomery Gap and with
the spurs of the Alleghany Mount
ain via Forks of Cacapon, Moore
field, Petersburg, &c, to the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.
This route would shorten the
distance by rail between New
York, Atlanta, Montgomery and
several other southern cities
about 100 miles. It would run
through fertile valleys and thous
ands of acres of the most valuable
timber lands in the south, and
almost inexhaustible quantities
of iron ore and bituminous coal.
The road could be built at a very
small cost, there would be no
tunneling, but few bridges to
build, and the right of way would
cost but little if anything.
Verv truly yours,
T. II. B. Dawson.
