ting to good use the low fiat south of the

track was completed between Fort Worth

The Houston & Texas Central has an
eye to the Northwest and IL is among the
early probabilities that steps will be
taken to build In the direction of Jacks

for some distance nearly parallel the Fort

south and run nearly west. There can
be no question that this matter is being
seriously considered.
1t is evident that while Waco and
Hillsboro are both looking for the extern

was told yesterday rather anus
ing story at the expense of Mark Twain
and the same story is already stand
ing joke in society. Not long ago the
humorist was travelling in the country,
aud stopped one evening at house pre-
sided over by an elderly woman. He
was shown TO room somewhat bare OF
ornaments and furniture. yet slept
peacefully until morning. When morn
ing came and he arose, lie became mind
ful OF the fact that although be had pro-
yided himself with tooth brush, he
had forgotten his tooth powder. lie
cousoled himself with the thought that
there must be tooth powder lying some
where about. After brief search he
discovered something in small box on
the mantel, which certainly resemoled
tooth powder. At any rate, he used II
vigorously on his teeth. and fonnd II
satisfactory. When he got down stairs
he apologized to the hostess Tor using
her tooth powder. She appeared sur
prised. "wbat tooth powder" she In
quired, blandly. "It WAS on the man
tel" Mark replied. "on the manteIf'
she repeated. Yes, in small box. IL
Vas excellent" he declared. Good
gracious she calculated. THAT was
not tooth powder" What was itf
asked Mark, now slightly alarmed.
"Why. that was aunfie." said she. tli

Discussing wages, in one OF his lee.
lures before the students Of Harvard
University, Professor Thompson gives
many facts Of curious interest. In l7SJ
the Schuylkill and Susquehanna Canal
Company advertised for workmen. Of
fering i've dollars for the wlater
months and six dollars for summer, with
board aud lodging. The next year
there was debate in the House Of Rep
resentatives which brought out-the
fact that soldiers got but three dollars
month. A Vermont member, discuss
ing the proposal TO raise il TO four dol-
lsrs, said that in bis State, men were
hired for els year, or four dollars .
month, with board AMI clothing. Mr.
wadsworih. of ofPennsylvania, said: "In
the States north Of Pennsylvania, the
wages of the common laborer are not,
upon the whole. superior TO those OF
the common sel.iisr." In 1907 Rhoie
Island farmer hired good farm hand
at three dollars month; aud five doll
lars a month was paid to those who got
employment for the eight busy months
OF the farmers year.
A strong boy could be bad thea
| In Connecticut at one dollar 4 month
/ through those months. aud he earned it
by working from daybreak until eight
or nine o'clock at night. lie could buy
a coarse cotton shirt with the earnings
/ of three such months. The farmers
could pay no better, for the price they
got for produce was wietched. Butter
sold at eight cents a pound, and when
IL rose suddenly TO ten cents, the wives
and daughters OF several farmers lost
their minds with the excitement.
Women picked the wool of the bushes
and briers, where the sheep had left IL,
and spun and knit IL iuto miltens 10
earn one dollar year by this tollsome
business. They hired out as help for
twenty-five cents a month aud their
board.
By days hard work at the spinning
wheel woman aud giil together could
earn twelve cents. As late m 1921 tho
best farm hands could be had for twen-
ty-fivs cents a day, or twice as much In
moving time. Mathew Carey, ib his
letters on the Charities OF Philadelphia
Qs29). gives n painful picture of the
working classes ut that time. Every
syenue to employment was choked With
applicants. Men left the cities to tipd
work on the canals NJ from sixty tosev-
enty five cents day, aud TO encounter
the malaria, which laid them low la
numbers.
The highest wages paid To women
wac twenty-five cents n day; and even
the women who made clothes for the
arsensl were paid by the Government
ut no high rates. When the ladies OF
the city begged for an Improvement OF
this rate, the Secretary hcsitatcd, lest it
should di.arrange the relations OF capi.
tai and labor throughout the city. Poor
people died of cold and want every win

have made an impression only on be-
ncvolently disposed persons like Mr..

The girls that are wanted are good girls
Good from the hearts to the lips;
Pure as the lily is white and pure,
From its heart to Its sweet leaf tips.
The girls that are wanted are home girls
Girls that are mothers right hand,
That fathers and brothers can trust to,
And the little ones understand.
Girls that are fair on the hearthstone,
And pleasant when nobody sees;
Kind and sweet to their own folk,
Ready and anxious TO please.
The girls that are wanted are wise girls
That know what to do and 10 say;
That drive with smile or soft word
The wrath of the household away.
The girls that are wanted are girls Of sense,
Whom fashion can never deceive;
Who can follow whatever is pretty,
And dare, what is silly, to leave.
The girls that are wanted are careful giris'
Who count what a thing will cost;
Who use with prudent, generous hand,
But see that nothing is lost.
The girls that are wanted are girls with
hearts;
They are wanted for mothers and wives;
Wanted to cradle in loving arms,
The strongest and frailest of lives.
The clever, the witty, the brilliant girl,
They are very few, understand;
But, ohi for the wise. loving. home girls
There's a constant and steady demand.

Fires I'm Two Towns.

kilograms from Anderson, Monroe
county, and Ronceverte, Greenbrier
county, this State, tell of serious fires
i'm both these towns last week. The AL
derson fire started in the general store
of III. A. Peck, and the weather being
very cold, and no means for the extin-
guishment of fire being on hand, soon
spread to the Grange cooperative store
adjoining, both structures being COM
pletely destroyed, together with most of
their contents. Both buildings were
large two-story frames, and each did Il
large business and carried an extensive
stock. The fire spread to other prop
erty, and nearly every business house
in the place was burned. The total loss
will reach 500 900, and the insurance is
about 81, 800. The Ronceverte fire
originated in the hardware store Of c.
n. Simms, which was totally destroyed,
together with its stock. The store aud
stock OF A. B. Liest, adjoining the prem
ises in which the fire started, was con-
siderably damaged before the flames
were extinguished, us was also the tin
store of j. L. Dame. There was an in
surance of nearly s4 900 on the property
destroyed. These fires are serious blows
to the growth and prosperity of these
towns, and it will be long time before
their influence is removed.

A CooI.Headed Engineer.

A dreadful accident was narrowly
averted By quick-witted engineer on
the New York aud Long Island Rail-
road one day last week. A north bound
express, filled with New York business
men, was near Matawan, and just before
reaching trestle bridge 500 feet long,
the cars weresiersiled by a broken frog.
The cars after dropping down on the
ties ran across the bridge, Swapping
the steel rails into bits and tearing the
wooden strucrure into splinters. The
rear coach lost its truck aud was drawn
a long distance on its floor beams. Geo.
Clicknar, engineer. finding it impossible
to stop his engine, which was tearing
along at a rate of thirty miles an hour,
saw that the only hope was TO increase
the speed. He threw open the throttle
and thus preventing the cars from top
ping over the bridge. The cars swayed
from side to side, but they were safely
carried out of danger. Passengers were
all more or less shaken up, but nobody
was seriously hurt.

West Virginia Lands.

The Greenbrier Independent very tru-
ly says that it s'has been but short
time since the holders of large tracts Of
land in this State were to be pitied.
They had been paying the taxes on
them for long time aid still had to do
so, and it had well nigh bankrupted
many, yet they could not let 60. 1t
was like many lotteries we have heard
of which Informed the drawer that he
had not won, but by putting up as much
more he would have another chance,
until, by successive ''puts" he has in
vested all his cash. 1t has not been but
q few years-tive or six, say-since
large tracts of wild lands in the eastern
part of West Virginia could scarcely be
sold at all, for so much as fifty cents per
acre-in fact nobody seemed to want
them. A marked change has, however,
recently set in. Lands lying in Green
brier heretofore unstable are being
taken. Pocahoptas land that would
gladly, few years ago, have been part
ed with at fifty cents and one dollar per
acre, now sells as high as from seven to
ten dollars per acre. A large survey of
over thirty thousand acres is now held
at the former figure. 1t is reported
that a large sale of over twelve thou
sand acres, lying in the extreme north
ern end of that county, which changed
hands only few years ago at fifty cents
per acre, was few days ago sold
for about two dollars and fifty cents
per acre. Thousand of acres lying on
the head waters of Cheat River, in that
county and Randolph ,have recently been
purchased by foreign capitalists at fig
ures which would not have been thought
of being asked year ago. Nicholas
and Webster are also being infested by
these land-buyers, and not only is tim
Der land being looked for, but the vast
coal deposits of those counties are at
tracing attention."

For Every Home.

The YoUTH's COMPANION was the de-
light of our childhood, and has been for
years the weekly treasure of our chill
dren. 1t is the best child's paper we
have ever seen. We say this advisedly
after having tried the various high
priced magazines for children. The va
riety, beauty, and entertainment of the
articles that appear in the YoUTH's
COMPANION excite our constant wonder
and delight.
In our home the day of its arrival is
known as "YoUTH's COMPANION day."
and the only bad effect we have ever
known to arise from its coming is that
all the children, and the older folks too,
for that matter, want it at the same
time. The publishers are out with a
new announcement showing increased
attractions for the new year. If Sl.75
is sent now, it will pay for the CoMPAN-
ION TO January, 1887.

Death of Miss IBayard.

Miss Katharine Lee Bayard, eldest
daughter of Secretary of State Bayard,
died suddenly at her fathers residence
in Washington last Saturday. The i'm
mediate cause of death was disease of
the heart. She had been troubled with
weakness of that organ, and had been
treated by the family physician at in
tervals for several years. At the re-
ception at her fathers house Friday
night it was remarked that Miss Bayard
was unusually animated, and taxed her
self to the utmost to entertain the
guests. 1t is presumed that the undue
exortion may have precipitated the fatal
attack. The young lady retired about
one o'clock, expressing wish to be
left undisturbed till noon. Between
one and two o'clock in the afternoon a
younger sister endeavored to awaken
her, and, struck by the peculiar express
sion of her face, called for assistance.
AS soon as the family recovered from
the CONSERVATION into which it had been
thrown, physicians were summoned
and powerful restoratives, including
electricity, were applied, but in vain.
The physicians expressed the opinion
that Miss Bayard had been dead for
several hours when the attempt was
made to awaken her. Miss Bayard was
to have assisted at a reception at the
White House, and many guests were
already there and Miss Cleveland was
waiting for her when the messenger
arrived with the news of her death. The
reception was postponed and the wait
ing guests notified Of the sad occurrence.
Miss Bayard was great favorite in So
ciety, and her death created profound
sensation i'm the CITY.

Fla. Burr, writing from New York
TO the Philadelphia Times, under date of
Jan. z, says:
What mighty changes can come TO men
in few years in this country! The
marriage of Miss Katie Bantz Davis to
Lieutenant Brown, of the navy, Illus
trates this. The bright young girl who
Yesterday took husband in Baltimore
is the second daughter of Ex-senator
Henry G.. Davis, of West Virginia. She
is an interesting young lady, inheriting
many of the traits of her mother, for
whom she is named. The magnificent
wedding and the number of distin-
guisheG guests who were there illustrate
one of the singular phases OF our Amer
lean life. Not many years ago her
father was brakeman and then con-
ductor on the Baltimore and Ohio Kali
road. the president of which stood at
the marriage feast. He is plain, I'M
assuming man, but saw his second
daughter welded with great ceremony.
Halle, his eldes. child, was ut her
sisters nuptials. She is the wife OF
Stephen B. Elkins and there are few
more charming women IN the country
than Mrs. Elkins. As Senator Davis
looked on at this wedding ceremony,
| with I'll its style and richness, he must
have thought what Il change has come
upon him since he married Miss Kane
Bautz. at Frederick, Md, when he was
poor man. Mr.. Blaine once told me
that Senator Davis was in prospective
the richest man i'm America, and he is
now in actual possession OF many mill
lions of dollars. He has risen to place
where he can command for his daugh-
ter's wedding the fashionable people Of
the country, as well us men distin-
gushed in every walk Of life. Yet l
can remember that when he was first
elected to the United States Senate, in
which body he served twelve years with
great acceptability, those who believe
that book-learning make up the sum OF
education sneered ut his lack of rhetoric
and good penmanship. But Davis set
all these people aside in the race and,
with his homely habits, grew to be a
man of force in every position which he
| occupied.
