The home life is absolutely essen
tial to success in any department of
life; in fact, it is the basis of all life.
This being true, do any of our rea-
ders let the fact of so many very
young men and young and old mar
ried men keeping late hours and
pursuing ways that are dark and
tricks that are vain" make food for
their own reflections. There is too
much late hour business practiced
here. l know it and see it and so
do you. Is the home unhappy for
the people we have notwithstanding?
There is something wrong, surely.
1t is the home life that molds the
future man or woman, not the street.
Occasionally man is strong enough
and sufficiently self-contained to en-
dure disquiet and unhappiness at
home without finching at any point
of duty, but most all in such cases
seek other companies and try to for
get rather than think of their homes.
Many mans success. many wo-
mans triumph, are to be attributed
to the happy homes in which they
live. Wives and mothers of Nor
| gantown, exert a loving endeavor to
make home happy and many

So
AS good way as | know to find
out the animosities of one town for
another is at ball game where the
crowd is made up of representative
OF various places. Last Saturday at
Fairmont one could find out what
the opinions of Clarksburg, Grafton,
Fairmout and Morgantown each were
of the other. 1t was funny to hear the
various expressions. Clarksburg.
proud and naughty, was envious of
Morgantown because we hoe our own
row and don't pay much attention to
the pride and haughtiness she as
sumes without cause. Grafton was Il
great deal bigger and had more mon
ey than all the rest combined Tin her
mind and talked Grafton so much
that the strangers all said that it
was very queer they had never heard
of that place. Fairmont was in every
way partial to Morgantown because
/ they have sense enough to be on the
winning side and Morgantown just
cut the biggest kind of swath and
told EN- all if they wanted to live
where people live to come down. Her
boys held up their heads in that vast
assemblage, fingered not long within
the portals of Bacchus, had Il smile
and good word for the bitterest enc
mics of our now awakening and also
long standing glory and received the
encomiums Of the lockers on of he
ing royal white boys. Morgantown
showed people that she was a town
amongst EN- all and was proud of
our boys and had to laugh at the
condemnation received from the
places of lesser note mentioned.
Each towns opinion of the other
was, however, that each was the best
place, but as it is matter hard to
prove | will just settle down to the
same old conviction, that none is as
good and as far advanced n place as
our own.
A prominent professional young
man wrote note to a young lady
friend asking to take her to an en-
tertainment. In reply he received a
beautifully written letter declining
proposal of marriage from another
fellow. The old mistake of getting
the envelopes and letters mixed had
been made by the young lady.

am told that the law school is
going to attract many Young men
from hereabout this fall. The West
Virginia University law school is
one of the best in the country,
and if a young man can't learn
the theory of the science under Profs.
Brooke and Wiley he can't learn it
at all.

1t isn't the Christian that says
it is too warm to attend church in
August, not saying it isn't church
member But SO many people have
said to me that the weather is now
entirely too warm to attend church.

A young society man told me the
other day that the girl he loved
didn't like him and the only way he
could tell was by the way she took
his arm. He said; "You can tell
exactly how girl feels towards you
by the way she takes your arm. If
she doesn't care a cent you know it
by the Indifference of her muscles. If
she has great confidence in you the
pressure tells it; and friendship is
as distinct from love in that mode
of expression as in words or looks.
Now my girl never wants to take a
walk with me unless it's to Bert La
zier's saloon, and then she just lays
her finger tips on my coat sleeve. /
tell you she hates me-" l think
there's good deal in that argument.
Did you ever notice that woman
can take the arm of fellow she
likes very much, with perfect com.
fort even if he is six feet high and
she is four. But even if the two are
just matched she can make him feel
disdain, contempt, discomfort, dis
like, anything she likes by the way
she manages to hold on to him. She
can make him happy by just chang
ing the grip.
