A NOTE OF CAUTION.

When man sits down in his easy
char and casts about in his mind how
he can get living without doing that
kind of work which necessitates con-
slant application and care, and brings
WEAKNESS to muscles and sinews, it is
astonishing how many devices will sug
gest themselves for his choice. But
having decided upon one which seems
to offer the most remuneration for the
least effort, and having proclaimed it to
the world through the newspapers for
everybody's patronage, it is more aston
ishing how many credulous persons are
everywhere to be found ready and will
ing to be inveiged and relieved of their
funds. The scheme may be one for a
marvellous increase Of eggs fer the
poultrymen or for the manipulation OF
a wonderful fertilizer guaranteed to
double and treble farmers crops at a
merely nominal cost; or it may be one
to furnish light, genteel employment for
ladies' and gentlemen, by which from
fifty to one hundred dollars may be
readily realized per month ; or, it may
be, for a cure all medicine, or a perfect
infant food, or a magical soap, or a
brand new device for entrapping anil
mails, birds and fishes at will or an
offer of two dollar watch to tell the
time as well as a costly chronometer,
with chain, seals and charms thrown
in. But no matter what the thing ad-
vertseG, the bait is tempting to class
like the schemer who makes good
profits from their nibblings.
With the opening of the spring we
are looking for great accession to this
army of schemers. Thousands and
tens of thousands of idle men and
women in the cities, who are too proud
to work, Must find some easy, genteel
way of substance and knowing that
the impression is common with that
class of city people who disdain manual
labor, that country folks are Ignorant
and easily begulled by clap-trap de-
wees, we soun4 a note of caution that
all our friends may be on their guard
against the numberIess ways which the
kind of triCksters we describe resort to
to get something for nothing.

A GOOD SORT OF FATHER-IN-LAW

Congressman George West, of Ball.

a young scamp, he said:

that young man was paying her a
great deal of attention, and the people
were saying they were going to marry.
| took my wife aside and said: Il hear
that our daughter is going to marry. Is
that true?' She replied, Yes Now
it struck as queer that had never been
consulted, SO | spoke right out to wife
Is that the way young men court in this
country, without saying a word to the
father?' They first win the GIRL re-
piled my wife. Well, somehow, | felt

much and had given her every advan-
tage. | took her through Europe and
showed her the world and this is my re-
ward. | told my wife that | was not

| to be spoken to merely because | was
the girls father.
''In few days the young man came
to me and said in a manly way that he
wished to marry my daughter, that he
was in business and could take care of
her. | looked him over. He had a
good honest look about him and liked
him.
"You can have my daughter, said,

'Well, sir, that young man has now

p'er days that are past and gone.
O'er friends that far from me wander,
Like some old forgotten song
That bursts GA my ear at midnight,
when all is silent and still
And remembrance brings back with each measur;
Thai causes my heart to thrill.
Each face will come up before me
As | think OF them one by one.
Some with their steps quick and ringing.
Others their courses almost run.
Some with the trick OF Il saucy look,
The motion OF il hand.
That opens the tIo0d-@ates of the past.

Some with the flashing of smile,
That comes as sit at rest,
And causes my heart to thrill with pain.

Breaking Bad News.

They are telling story on we'll

the story goes, had been killed by
an accident, and the problem was
how to break the news to his wife.
The Irishman in question volun-
teered to break the news so gently
that it would not jar on the most
sensitive feelings. Putting the body
in wagon he started for Mrs,
McCarty's residence.

here??" he asked significantly.
"She does not" said Mrs. Nc,
Carly.

McCarty does live here" he insisted
with more significance and greater
emphasis on the widow"
But she does not" replied Mrs,
McCarty.
Disguised at her lack of perspi-
culty the bearer of the bad news
asked in dispair:
AN faith, does Judge McCarty
live here?'
He does.
"Well, I'll bet yez tin dollars he
does not"
"But he does" insisted Mrs. Nc
Carly.
But he does not" insisted Pat.

SPECIMEN OF THE WORK DONE
INSIDE,

The following story by Rev. Chas.
Garrett is worth repeating:
"One of my friends is a very earn
est, shrewd man, who seems always
to know how to do the best thing at
the right time One day he was
passing a gin-shop in Manchester,
when he saw drunken man living
on the ground. The poor fellow had
evidently been turned out of doors
when all his money was gone. In a
moment my friend FASTENED across
the street, and, entering a grocer S
shop, addressing the master, said:
''Will YOU oblige me with the
largest sheet of paper you haye:?"
"'What for, my friend? What 5
the matter?'
"Oh, you shall see in minute
or two Please let it be the very
largest sheet you have
The sheet of paper was soon Sc
cured.
Now will you lend me a piece
of chalk?' said my friend.
why, whatever are you going
to do?'
You shall see presently.
He then quickly printed, in large
letters
SPECIMEN OF THE WORK DONE
INSIDE.
HE then faste1ed the paper right
over the drunken man, and retired
a short distance. In few moments
several passers-by stopped and read
aloud, Specimen OF the work done

In very short time a crowd as
se,nbled and the publican, hearing

what it was all about. He eagerly
bent down and read the inscription
on the paper; and then demanded in
angry voice. Who did that?'
" which, ? asked my friend, who
now joined the crowd. If you near
what is on the paper, did that; but
if you mean the man, you did that
This morning when he arose he was
sober. when he went into your gin
shop he was sober; and now he is
what you made him. Is he not {

KILLED BY THE CARS.

Another Fatal Accident Near Benwood'
Yesterday Morning.
Another man has been killed down near
Benwood.
At an early hour yesterday morning ru-
mors of fatal accident were rife upon the
streets of our southern suburb, and al
though the people down there have grown
accustomed to mishaps and are seldom start
led by anything in that line, there was
good deal of excitement for time.
Investigation showed that the rupor
was true, the victim being Patrick Gibbon,
employed as night Waterman of the Arm
strong camp cars, carrying force Of men
working on the repairs of the B. & o. The
particulars are as follows The camp had
been sent from Grafton on Friday to work
ON the creek bridge at this city. They
worked until 10 o'clock Saturday night
and came down to No. II switch, just
above the Boggs' run coal works to take the
siding. The camp had supper at
| O'Clock, and all hands retired except
Gibbons, the nightwatchman. This was
the last seen of him alive. About o'clock
the engineer on a passing train discovered
something on the track that bore the SEM
blance to q mangled human form. Stop
ping the train he found his surmise to be
only too true The camp was then aroused,
and identified him az their late companion.
The exact manner of his death may never
be known, but the general theory is that
he was sitting on the track and was for
the time overpowered with sleep and was
struck by yard engine, which leaves
Wheeling about a. m. A REGISTER
reporter was shown his watch, which was
stopped at 4:2O. He was badly cut up,
both legs and arms cut of, head crushed
and body bruised.
The remains were taken to Zinck's IN
dertaking establishment and prepared for
interment. The casket which contained
all that was earthly Of him was sent to his
home in Parl ersburg on the 4:3O p. m,
train yesterday, on the o. r. r. 1t was
accompanied by some of his friends. He
was not married. He was thirty-two years
old, and had been employed in that
capacity for three or four years. He was
a sober and industrious young man and
we'll liked. His mother lives in Parkers-
burg. We are informed that his father
met his death on the railroad and had
the identical watch which marked the fatal
hour for his son in his pocket at the time.
The watch was badly battered. A bag
done up as a cartridge and fastened, was
found in his pockets containing over $500
in bills. The money was crisp and un-
touched, pocketbook and some letters
were also intact. Squire Riddle was sum-
moned, tut found it unnecessary to hold an
inc uest, but rendered all attention to the
case, taking charge of the money and
things found.
