Woman Will Have Her Way.

"Women are smarter than men
every time" said the manager of
large tourist excursion business in an
argument over the respective quali-
ties of the sexes, "and l can tell you
a little story to back my statement
that / think is clincher. When L
was in Chicago some pears ago an ell.
derby lady came into my office one
day and asked me to prepare trip
to the Continent for her husband and
herself. l set TO work on it the fols
lowing morning and had just about
finished the schedule when man
came rushing in. introduced himself
as the husband of my previous days
caller, and told me to stop my work.
He said he did not want to go to Eu-
rope, and he wouldn't go. and he
would be blessed if his wife was going
either. He notified me also that he
held the family purse-strings, and de-
parted.
"I threw the schedule away with
a mild obligatory remark about fe.
male ways and started on something
else.
"Half an hour later in came the
lady and said thai | was not to both.
er with what her husband said. She
told me that the trip was going to be
made. and that he was going with
her, and that when she made up her
mind to do anything she generally
did it. She left one.hundred-dollat
guarantee with me to finish up the
itinerary, and went ahead.
"When the starting day came
around the husband walked in to see
me, paid up like little man, and
went away with his tickets. but he
offered no explanation as to his
charge of mind.
"In the fall of that year I met the
couple on the steamer coming home.
and one night over our cigars the
husband told me the story of how
his wife persuaded him to make the
trip.
"'She didn't say word to me on

Ayers
Hair Vigor

not only prevented my wife from becoming
bald, but it also caused an entirely new
growth of hair. am ready to certify to ths
statement before justice of the peace."-
III. Hulsebus, Lewshurgh, Iowa. =.
"Some years ago, after a severe attack OF
brain fever, my hair all came out. 1 used
such preparations for restoring it as my ply
sicians ordered, but failed to produce a
growth of hair. ! then tried, successfully,
several articles recommended by druggists,
and all alike fell short of accomplishing the
desired result. The last remedy applied
was Ayers Hair Vigor, which brought a
growth of hair i'll a few weeks. 1 think I
used eight bottles in two years; more than
was necessary as a restorative, but liked it
as dressing, and have continued to use it
for that purpose. / believe Ayers Hair
VigOr possesses virtues far above those of
any similar preparation now on the MARKET"

Wonders

Are wrought by the use of Ayers Hair
Vigor in restoring gray hair to its original
color, promoting a new growth, prevent.
ing the hair from falling, keeping it soft,
silky, and abundant, and the scalp cool
healthy, and free from dandruff or humors.
The universal testimony is that this prep
aration has no equal as dressing, and
is, therefore, indispensable to every we'll
furnished toilet.
II have used Ayers Hair Vigor for some
time and it has worked wonders for me. I
was troubled with dandruff and was rapidly
becoming bald; but since using the Vigor my
head is perfectly clear of dalAruff, the hair
has ceased coming out and now have
good growth, of the same color as when 1
was young woman. | can heartily recon-
mend any one suffering from dandruff or
loss of hair to use Ayers Hair Vigor as a
dressing" = Mrs. Lydia o. Moody, East

"Some time ago my wife's hair began to
come out quite freely.

While the columns of the Graphic are
open to any and all unobiectionable adver.
tisements, yet it is quite impossible for us to
speak knowingly Of the various articles of
merchandise advertised. Particularly is
this true of patent medicines. But there
are exceptions occasionally, and a note
worthy exception is the celebrated Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. This now univers-
ally known medicine has been advertised in
the Graphic for four or five years, but not
until recently had we any personal knowl-
edge of its wonderful efficacy, which has
come about through the prevailing influenza
and the stubborn cough that has so Oft
en- attended it. In the writer's family this
medicine has on several occasions this win
ter cured a cough that baffied any and all
other remedies; and the number of families
in Kimball and vicinity in which this rem
edy has been used with like effects attests to
its value as a specific for coughs and colds
OF every nature.

Dress Goods

This Week.

We imported 1000 pieces dress
goods, suitings and cashmeres, for
spring more than we should have.
Our shelves, counters and on top Of

overcrowded with this immense

fear of contradiction, you have
never seen such desirable goods
sold at 75c.
Large lots of 5o-inch new import

in well regulated stores is S1.2s.
We mark these SI.

TOO LITTLE EXPERIENCE.

It is significant fact that the demand for
teachers last year Was SO great that to secure
teachers enough to Ill the schools we were
compelled 70 issue certificates to liz persons
who were without any experience whatever in
the work Of teaching. In the course Of my
visits most Of the teachers were found to be
earnestly, honestly and faithfully discbarging
while many were absolute failures in the school
room because their ability was not equal to the
demands made upon it, yet be it said, TO the
credit OF our teachers, that but few were found
who were willfully neglecting the proper
performance Of their duties. This class of
teachers which makes an honest and deter

WITH YOU ON THIS.

We cannot agree with Bro. White
on all of his revenue appointments in
this section, though many of them
are very creditable. Fact is. we half
believe the Collector required con
siderable tonic to gulp some down.
However, we heartily endorse the
propositions as expressed in the fol-
lowing clipped from our friends edi-
torial columns. We are with him
first, last and all the time, in advan-
cling the interests of West Virginia !:
"There is one thing, among many
others, that the State Journal will
not do. 1t will not publish long and
glowing advertisements of the beau
ties of western or southern or east
ern or northern or any other country
except West Virginia, unless it is
paid to do so in a regular advertis-
ing way, no matter if the letters con-
tanning these long-drawn panegyrics
are written by the best friends this
paper has. We believe in West Viz
ginia and in West Virginia's future.
We believe in working for West
Yirginia's growth and prosperity,
and the columns of this paper are not
open to communications booming
Kansas or Dakota or Wyoming or
the South Sea Islands. Not that we
have any spite against those coun-
tries, but because our duties are to
West Virginia and not to them"

THE COMING ELECTION.

Elsewhere will be found call by
the Chairman of the Republican or
ganization, preparing for a contest
over the municipal election soon to
be held. We have always deprecat
ed the bringing of politics into our
corporation affairs. Like a mans
home, it is purely local, and every
member in it should be united, and
not divided. We believe the pro-
gress and advancement of the town,
is largely due to the fact, that hith-
erto, we have escaped the heavy
handed incubus of the political Jug
gernaut machine. 1t has been so
with our schools, notably so in the
recent election, and approvably so,
in successful results. We therefore,
very much doubt the wisdom of
pushing politics, to the point of per-
sonal division into our home affairs.
Neither tariff or any issue or ele-
ment of politics can be very consis-
tently connected, with the proper adj
ministration of our local affairs.

BISHOP KAHN, who has just left
Rome for the Holy Land, has asked
the Holy See for a more convenient
division of his diocese He asks
this, because,to visit his own terrific
ry he has to pass through another
diocese, and because it is difficult for
each Bishop to have under his iuris-
diction, faithful, belonging to differ
ent States and subject to different
laws. He therefore requests that
the diocese of Wheeling shall include
the State of West Virginia.
