The, owner Of Main street business
house one day last week called upon his
tenants. who were paying twelve hun
drea dollars rent per year, and informed
them that he had an offer of sixteen hum
dred dollar for the store room, and that
the persons desiring to rent wished to

chance, but they declined taking the
store for three years at the exorbitaDt

returned and stated that the new firm
would take the room for the coming
year fer sixteen hundred dollars, and, to
save trouble, he would give il to the oc-
cupants at the same figure. The tenants,
not wishingto 60 to the trouble of mo-

ment was signed it has turned. ont that

ROB RoY-Rob Roy, or Robert McGregor,
surnamed Roy, or red, from the color of his
hair, was sort of chief with his clan. He
was largely engaged as a cattle dealer, and
made frequent journeys to England with
large droves On one of these ventures he
had the Duke Of Montrose for partner. The
speculation proved bad one, the market
being overstocked and the cattle selling for
less than prime cost. The Duke no sooner
heard of this misfortune than, determining
not to be a loser, without waiting for Rob's
return, he collected a well armed party, and
with a warrant of distress" in his hand,
went down and took possession of the Nc
Gregor estate, turning the inmates out of
doors, without food, shelter or clothing. In
due time Rob returned and discovered the
desolation the Duke had effected He swore
vengeance on the tyrant, and then retired
with his family and retainers into the noun.
tains, where he established for himself a new
home, somewhat less luxuriant than his an
cestral halls. Here he soon collected about
him band of followers, and Montrose heart
lily repented his forcible proceedings. Almost
daily were cattle missing from his estate, and
when rent day came round Rob was sure to
be on hand to seize the rents as soon as thew
were fairly paid over. Again and again was
Rob Roy captured, but as often did he effect
his escape, sometimes almost as if by mira
Gle. Often he had in his power his bitterest
enemies, and as often, because they were in
his power did he refuse to take their lives
His generosity was equal to his courage. The
poor looked to him for protection and help,
while of the rich he was the constant terror
He brought up his sons to be Industrious
farmers and cattle dealers, and in a few
years, in his prosperity, ceased to molest
even his old enemy Montrose. In the reign
Of George ii. Rob visited London, and even
attracted the notice of the King. Finally, in
1924, in the 18th year of his age, surrounded
by his family, this renowned freebooter
peacefully went to his rest.

MORALS IN PARkERsBURG, WEST VIRGINIA.
The people have kind of stupid, improv-
ised morality. 1t is wrong to kill a man,
butt is very wrong to steal a horse. Horse.
stealing is the highest crime known to them.
One reason, it occurred to me why so many
are for the Union is because to them, seces-
sion means horse-stealing. When Davis
men want horses, they come and take them !;
Lincon's men buy them. So that, step by
step, their minds have arrived at the conclu-
sion that the only question at stake between
Davis and Lincoln is question relating to
the proprietorship of their horses, and their
dislike to horse-stealing is synonymous to
their dislike to rebellion. A citizen, whom
l met, summed up the evils of the war some
thing in this vein? 8 There has been a
mighty power of men killed; but that amt
so much, you know, for it is life for life-for
you kill a man to-day and be killed yourself
tomorrow, which makes it all right, and no
ones to blame. But think of the horses
that's gone. The horses don't fight and
their lives is their own, for they don't make
war on each other. As many as four horses
taken last week from near Uncle Dicks and
one young colt! The war has sent the
Union to smash !'-Derrick and Drill

yard square has been cut away from the
green baize carpet, surrounding the spot
where Booths feet struck when he jumped
upon the stage, after shooting the President.
One of these curious visitors entered the sa-
loon adjoining the theatre, where Booth took
his last drink of brandy just before he mur-
dered Mr.. Lincoln. The visitor inquired of
the barkeeper: "Have you the same bottle
on hand out of which Booth drank on the
night of the assassination ?" "Yes, Sir"
