Pleasants, the most western county affected.

three hundred to four hundred persons are
IN need OF food some of them on the verge
OF starvation. The county court in special
session. however, has provided funds to re-

afforded The loss by death among live
stock is placed at about $4,000 TO $4,000.
In Ritchie county, which joins Peasants
immediately on the east, but one district is
affected. 1t is known as the Murphy neigh
horhood, and not over 200 persons are short
OF food. The loss in live stock is also COM
paratiseiy light, not exceeding $1,000. The
county will provide for these people.

The Influence Of the Cloth.

Three or four commercial travellers were
together in railroad car. One of them,
rather a clerieal-looking young man, point
ed out grim. visaged female who had just
entered the car, and offered to bet the drinks
for the party that he could seat himself be-
side her, and be pleasantly greeted. The
bet was accepted.
He approached the female, and STOPPING
politely said something to her in low tone
Of voice.
She Immediately made way for him. and
presently they were engaged in an animated
conversation.
Later, when the drinks were being dis
cussed, the loser of the bet asked the drum
mer what he had said to the woman.
II simply asked her." he replied. "if that
pew was disengaged."
