Girx- a new accomplishment


Thersis a young lady in town who cso
handle rife 50 we'll that she can, at shor1
range, hiS "a ten cent piece every time, and
that without screaming or shutting her eyes.
here is our chance. Wheeling girls are pro-
verbally brave, several having been known
10 put "enter2rising burglars" to fight. 1t
nav be our turn next, and it would be pain
ful not to know which end Of the weapon to
take hold Of Let as then make up
a team, elect physician, and pre-
pare to practice on the first man
who recalls Charley Johnsons old joke
aboat opening up q lead mine half mile

Mr.. REGISTER, the next time Foa board
street car full of young folks, inst shut your
mouth snd open your ears and you will hear
something like this: "Wewent ont for wild
flowers on Thursday" You ought to have
a pair OF skates like mine. Yes. he came
after | had gone with some one else" Did
you see what an awful fall she
got2" Thank goodness We can't clean
house on Monday" Isn't that cigar
smoke Just awful" What a horrid hat
she has on" Don't you want seat?
There's plenty OF room on the roof" u don't
think she skates 80 very well. Yes We
we're caught in the rain and she spoiled her
best frock" Driver, put this man of, he
made pun" and so on until you ring the
bell, and ask the most direct route to Wes
ton.
Several parties have been out in search
of wild flowers and have it is said, narrowly
escaped being arrested for carrying OF
whole farm on their shoes. And whale we
are on this rural topic want to ask if any OF
the girls were out br ght and early on Friday
morning, to battle their faces in the dew, it
being a we'll known fact (?) that she who
does so on the first of May need fear no tan
or freckles during the coming year. Fer,
haps, however, this year the briny tears shed
for the departing State House boys may
have the same effect.
And the same gentle youths have packed
away their locks of hair, photographs, etc,
and having said goodbye to their Sunday
school teachers, have sought the land OF
perennial spring" (And, by the way, do
YOU suppose that absorbing Third District
has gotten our share Of the ETHEREAL season
this year?) After all the departure
of the Capital does not seem
to have made a very great sensation-ln
social circles at any rate, though | am told
that it, coming created profound one. Is
it that Wheeling folks are tickle, Or merely
philosophical?
~
Apropos of those by-gone days some one
YVES speakipg the other day of the rise and
fall OF the martial spirit among the Wheel
ing boys when the Capitol was new thing
and every lady went wild over brass buttons.
Nv friend suggested that il was the memor-
abe "Martinsburg campaign" which
satiated the flowers Of West Virginia with
the glories Of war. Some very funny stories
were told of that famous time, one
to the effect that young
soldier wrote letter home on the way. Ii
was duly received, though the address was
MY Dear Mother, - street, Wheeling" l.
| is a fact, though, that the boys looked Just
splendid in uniform, 80 aice that the girla
would like to see them in it again.

The bright days have brought out new
dresses, equestrisns, bicycles and sun shades.
But alas the majority Of poor feminine hD-
mainly has been either sewing or house
cleaning and feeling the sunshine rather a
grievance than otherwise, for ali! Mr.,
REGISTER, it is Just maddening to see
your bosom enemy out with card
case and new Dress while you
toll at The seams of yours, or try to bring
order out of chaos Of furniture, pictures
and carpet and, by the way, party Of ladies
were wondering the other day why it is that
callers always come when the parlors are in
the bands of the paper hanger, or unexpect
| ed guests arrive when the guest chamber is
being used as a store room for goods
and chattels usually kept in Other
places? Such is invariably the case, aud
lots of the girls have decided that they in
tend to board when they are married;
