A Romance Of tho Woods.

Erasmus Green, of this city, belongs
TO the "IZaak Walton" fishing club,
which has Just returned from two
weeks encampment up Wheeling creek.
Erasmus told his wife OF the time they
had, but oh, how he missed her, She
had, she told him, passed the two weeks
miserably, thinking only OF him and
his dull trip and the discOmfOrts OF a
camp-liie among the gnats. This was
what they told each other. But when
the club first got settled in camp, Eras-
mus first toast from The brown jug was
as follows: well, here'sto the old wO-
man, Mrs. e., and may she never cease
TO mourn the absence OF her true
love: and here's to the prettest
country girl in this neighbOrhood
who is To console me for the
separation And ne told his friends
how Mrs. q. would sit and gaze at his
vacant chair and sigh for HIM.
But when she did gaze at that chair,
il was not vacant, but filled by the
manly form of a young and handsome
neighber, who played the violin and
owned a horse. And when Erasmus
thought his wife had retired early to
kill time, she was out driving with the
handsome neighbor or eating cream with
him at a distant saloon where she wasn't
known.
Upon his return, Erasmus remarked,
incidentally that he had seen a
little deer in the woods. Mrs. q.
wanted to know if he had killed
il, and he said it had looked
nj him so lovingly with its
soft brown eyes that he could not have
harmed it for the world He forgot to
mention that the little deer was little
dear that wore number one French
boots and was about eighteen years old.
He "disliked to disturb his loving wife 5
peace of mind" lie told his brother
member of the club. But when she
sees this account and caresses him with
a sad-iron, he will change his mind.

The Medical Middle.

Our readers will remember TO have
seen, during the month OF May, an ac-
count of a rumpus within the Ohio
County Medical Association, Occasioned
by an alleged forgery of medical docu-
ment. Alta meeting OF the association
held last evening, the squabble was re-
yived, and warm time was had. y
member read paperchaperoningthea c-
cused. and scoring the other members
generally, and the ''nameless author OF

When he finished, the "namelcsS au-

the reader had vanished. Several OF the

An Interesting Document.

To those who are familiar with our
present system OF combating fire, the
following memorial, presented to COun-
Gil in 1927, will seem laughably singu-
lar:
"To the Mayor and COmmOndity Of he
Borough of Wheeling, The undersigned
citizens respectfully suggest to your
Hon. body the propriety Of passing an
ordinance for the encouragement oil the
Fire Engine Companies-in cases OF fire
and also for the encouragement of the
draymen in furnishing promptly sutti-
cient supply OF water. Your memorial
lists suggest, first, that the Mayor be au-
thorized to award to the company whose
engine is first brought to bear on the
building or fire, premium OF
ten dollars, and to the drayman who
shall haul from the river and deliver to
an eagine the first barrel OF water a
premium Of one dollar, and for every
other barrel hauled to the engine during
the fire, by any drayman, the sum OF
l2l cents for each. Payment to be made
on the certificate OF the commanders OF
the fire companies.
This was signed by several prominent
citizens, and on February 3, 1927, the
Council passed an ordinance in accord
ance Herewith.

Ladder Exercise.

The membres of the Guards Hook
and Ladder Company, are becoming
very expert in the handling Of their ap,
paratus. A large crowd was attracted
10 the front Of their house, yesterday
evening. to watch the ladder practice.
Two ladders were taken out, quickly
spliced and placed against the house,
reaching to the top Of the tower. The
men then took turns at ascending end
defending. Some could jump upon the
ladders, clasp the sides with their feet
and slide rapidly to the bottom, while
others, though less expert, could handle
themselves sufficiently well to excite
the admiration of the spectators. In
case OF a large fire their efficiency would
tell.
