Berkeley Springs Union.

We have a good letter from sis
ter of the Berkeley Springs Union,
who is so modest as to add, "Please
do not publish" Among other
good things which we are thus for
hidden to use, our sister says: awe
will be delighted to have Mrs.
Buell. visit our Union. We are
sure we shall be greatly benefited
by instruction from so gifted a
leader. Please let us know when
we may expect her."
"Mrs. North and l would be glad
to attend the Convention at Par

duties preventing"

Our Coming Convention.

We insist that members of all
Unions within reach of Parkers-
burg shall consider seriously the
Importance of attending our Fourth
District Convention, in this city,
Thursday and Friday, Nov. 1918.
The Institute work of these ses-
sions will be just what our earn est
workers most need. Let all needed
sacrifice be made to get the benefits
of this Convention.

Under the above caption, the
Morgantown Post has the following
as preface to an extract from the
FREEMAN's report Of the Charleston
w. G. Il. U. Convention:
"The ladies of the Morgantown
Temperance Union expect a visit
some time in November from the
lady referred to in the following no.
tice from the WEST VIRGINIA
FREEMAN. She is Mrs. Caroline e..
Buell., of New York, Secretary of
the National Union. She will hold
a meeting for ladies in the after
noon and a public meeting in the
evening. We bespeak for her an
earnest hearing from the people Of
our town and vicinity"
We assure our Morgantow n
friends that they will be most for
tunate and happy in securing a
visit from Mrs. Buell..

What One Man Can Do.

"The passage of the local-option
bill is a monument to the endur-
ance of one man. J. G. Thrower,
in 1867, organized in Atlanta a
lodge of Good Templars. He an
nounced that Georgia would yet be
a temperance State. Through
good and evil report, and discour-
agements which would have dis
heartened a less sanguine man, he
kept at work. He pushed others
into the leadership in order to COM
pei them to work, keeping himself
well in the background. He spent
his own money freely, and richly
deserves the success which has fol-
lowed his labors. "-Atlanta Consti-
tuition.

Grantsville Union.

DEAR MRS. JOHNSON
We have organized W. G. T. U.
here and are anxious to have some
assistance. We want you to "come
over and help u.s."
Our next meeting will be on
Nov. 1st. We want instructions
as to badges for the little folks and
other matters. We are getting on
right we'll, but would be pleased to
have you come up and visit our
Band of Hope, and instruct US in
regard to this work.
Please write before next Satur-
day without fail.
Yours,

Miss Ida M. Taylor, Of the Raw
enswood Union, writes: "Our w.
C. T. U. held meeting last week
and appointed four delegates to the
District Convention at Parkers-
busg, Nov. 1918"
Now, let all the Unions that
have not done so, do likewise, with
out delay. And let our workers
where there are no Unions, come
and get new encouragement and
inspiration.

Young Needless.

Young Needless is boy
Who lives in every town.
His name? IT'S sometimes Johnny Smith.
And sometimes Tommy Brown.
Young Needless goes to school
When he can find his hat;
At home he loves to play at ball
When he can find his bat.
Of mittens, one is gone;
OF rubbers, two or more;
And on the very coolest day
He never shuts the door.
The hammers always lost,
The saw left on the ground;
And when he wants his button-hook,
1t never can be found.
To buy piece of beef,
You send him to the shop;
He loses all the change he had,
And brings you mutton-ch ops.
For all these careless things,
And more that l could name,
Young Needless always feels quite sure
He never is to blame.
His father would despair,
But that this thing is true
That forty years or so ago,
He was young Needless too.
Advance

There will be public reception,
on Friday evening, at the close Of
the Convention, to be held in Par
kersburg, Nov. 1918. This will be
the social event of the meetings,
and will afford a happy opportuni-

ted with each other.

ALONG THE W. C. T. u. LINES.

ALONU LIN W. VI L. y. A1NLCs
From University Notes in a
Morgantown paper, we clip the
following.
"Miss Jennie Smith, in company
with several ladies of the w. C. I.
u, attended chapel services on
Monday morning. She delivered
one of her characteristic earnest,
whole-souled appeals to the stu
dents, that sobered the giddiest, and
as they looked into the face of
this eloquent Christian woman,
whose warm, womanly heart had
won their esteem, each deprecated
self and longed for that higher and
nobler life"
Temperance Instruction.
The Ohio Baptist State Conven-
ton, recently in session, adopted
the following resolution:
5. That we, the representatives
of the Baptist denomination in the
State, in convention assembled,
petition the General Assembly,
during it's next session, to enact
a law that shall make the teaching
Of physiology and hygiene, with
especial reference to the effect of
stimulants and narcotics, COM
pulsory in all schools under public
control and that the Secretary be
instructed to forward this action
to the Legislature at such time,
and in such manner, as shall be
designated by those having this
interest in charge.
The W. C. T. q. Heard.
From the proceedings Of the
Baptist Convention, above mention
ed, we clip the following also:
"Mrs. Letter, of Mansfield, who
represented the W. G.. T u, was
introduced, and spoke of the plan
for introducing temperance text
books into the public schools-an
exceedingly well-prepared and
fnely-del:vered address, showing
that no better advocate of the
cause could be sent out than is
Mrs, Fannie W. Letter"
VIRGINIA.--The first Woman's Con-
vention ever held il Winchester
attracted good degree of atten-
ton this week. The night sessions
crowded the churches, and people
were standing in the aisles every
night. We do not know that any
came to scott, but if so it is prob
able that they also stayed to
weep if not to pray Winchester
Leader.
MA1NE.-The meeting of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, last week, served to show
the important work women are
doing in the cause of temperance
Organized effect like that the
Union is making, must go far to
exert healthy influence in the
community and to counteract the
stealthy and persistent exertions
of the liquor interest to encourage
and promote the drinking habit, so
destructive to the individual and
the best interests of the commu-
nifty. Every well-wisher of human.
ity must bid them God speed IN
their work.-Portland Transcript

Notes at a Venture.

The w. G. T. U. editor is absent
attending the National w, G. T. U.
Convention at Philadelphia, and
the few notes here are thrown in at
a venture, by proxy, as it were. If
any mistakes or blunders are made,
somebody will probably "catch it, !"
in due time.
We have good news of greatly
increased interest among the I'm
ions all over the State.
The w. G. T. U. Free Lecture
Bureau is proving most encour-
aging success thus far, in arousing
new interest. We must, however,
urge upon the friends of the cause,
the Importance of more liberal COL
lections to meet travelling expenses
of speakers, and incidental expen-
ses of meetings.
Wellsburg has spoken for visit
from Mrs. Buell.. Mrs. Jacobs
writes: II do hope Mrs. Buell. may
be able to awaken new interest
here and add largely to our num-
Der of workers"
Our Parkersburg Union is TAX
ing an active interest, recently,
that promises rich things for the
future. Of the good work in ar
ranging for Bro. Walkers Lecture,
Monday evening, more may be
looked for on local page, after the
meeting is over.

ALL HONORABLE MEN,

A Monster That Paraiyzes an Indiana

PERCEvILLE, Ind, Aug. 2).-Our vii
lage is Wild with excitement over the dis
coveTy OF monster snake. The serpent
was first seen on Saturday by Mrs. Stock.
man, highly respectable lady of this
place. She was gathering foxgrapes g
short distance out of this place and came
upon the reptile in dense thicket. She
describes it as being from fifteen to
twenty feet in length and at least a
foot in diameter. Its color is black, with
yellowish- brown spots, aud the head horny
and fiattene1 Some children in company
with Mrs Stockman, also saw it, and eX.
aggerate the description given by her. Next
day Messrs. Daniel Ci3d and Charles Ward,
two of our leading citizens, were driving
along road through a clearing "A half-mile
south IF here, when they saw the monster by
the roadside. fastening to town, they gave
the alarm, which wa responded to by a
crowd o, men ami boys, who visited the spot
at once but the snake had crawled into the
weeds and brush, and though they spent the
day seatcning, with guns and clubs, it could
not be found. A posse If men secured the
woods with the determination Of killing the
monster IL it could he found.
A. all the parties who have seen it are re,
liabi citizens If unquestionable veracity,
the report has spread t. the surrounding
country and paraiyzed the Inhabitants with
fear. Ii is thought to b. the same snake
which causei so much excitement at Yer
Sailies two years ago. but was never cap
tured A reward will be offered by the cit
liens Of this locality for the determination
of the monster, as its presence is terrifying
to the community

MURCIA, the district OF Spain where the
cholera is doing its deadfest work, is the
region which was submerged by floods in
1879. The inundations not only impov-
erished the inhabitants but made their
houses damp. unwholesome and ague
breeding. An American lady who has
been in the vicinity writes of the food of
the Mucians at consists chiefly of bread,
garlic, onions, cucumbers and tomatoes,
with which vegetables they concOct a hot
SOUP or cold dish, which is called 'gaz-
pacho, by throwing pepper and salt, on
and vinegar over it; very little wine, meal
once week, and then generally very fat
bacon" The obviously is a choleraic bill
of fare and the mortality, however
shocking and deplorsble, is not, under
the circumstances, surprising.

NO MORE TELLERISM

Having egregiously failed to fulfil its
contract obligations with the govern
ment, the Northern Pacific railroad COM
pany has now been informed that it can
not receive any more land patents for
that portion of its time guaranteed. Sec
cretary Lamar and Commissioner Walker
are not quite so accommodating as were
Secretaries Schurz and Teller. OF course,
congress may yet come to the relief of the
road, but in the meantime the plain letter
of the law should be obeyed. Mr.. Schurz
and Attorney General Devens earned I'M
enviable notority by their memorable de-
cision in favor of this corporation, and
the closing days of Teller's regime were
signslized by feverish haste to issue
patents to the company in fragrant def
ance OF law. The interior department
Just now is not the mere creature of JOBS

DOWN WITH THE FRAUD

Every movement of the civil service
men shows rapacity and bad intention.
They propose that republicans shall be
kept in and democrats shall be kept out,
and that's all there is about it, The poll.
tics of this country has known nothing
more mean or more absurd 1t is pro,
position to circumveut tine will of the PEG
pie as expressed at the last national cleo
ton. 1t is in new shape the old idea that
only republicans are honest ani good and
that all democrats are bad and no demo-
crst is to be trusted with official funds OF
official honor. 1t is the third term in new
form. 1t is Star Routeism behind mask.
1t is hereditary office holding in its mean
est shape. If it were to prevail the coun-
try would act wisely to abolish elections
altogether and admit that only republic
ans were fit to occupy it, Every demO>
crat and every good citizen will assist in
putting an end as speedily as possible to
the contemplate fraud. The republican
party has been voted out. If it won't 60
out peaceably it must be kicked out. The
president and his appointees are to run
this government-not the schOOmasler
general and his subordinates Impudence
goes great way, but the voice of the
people must be respected beyond every
thing of that nature.
