His Friends and HlmaelI.
There were a number Of us in one Of
tho London tavcrns made famous by
Dickens. when great, big fellow
slouched in and made himself very disa-
greeable with his mouth, writes New
York Sun correspondent. Ono OF our
party was man from Boston, and some
way or other he and tho big man came
to exchange words. Tho first VIC heard
OF tho row tho big man was saying:
"You Yankees is great OIL tho brae,
and that's all you can de-" ;;
We'll, Dunno" replied Boston
"But l do. When did you over do .
bloomink, blasted think?"
"I1ow about l776?"
"Nevcr heard of it," .:':.sss ,'<::'>..' -.
"now about 1922"
"Ncver heard Of ity'
Ibid you ever hear Of Bunkor HIP
~ have, sir. That's whero 600 red
coats licked tho life out of 1000 brae
ging Yankees"
II guess not"
Mot! Docs you dare to dispute the
Liverpool Kid?"
~ have donc that ere, you bloomink
idiot, and it says as how all you Yam
KEGS run ut the first fro! Don't it, now?'
II never heard that it did"
Don't it say that?"
Tho big fellow had pushed up his
sleeves and put up his fists. and it was
plain that row was on hand. lie WAS
big enough to cat up two such men as
Boston, whilo ho had friends to look out
for tho rest OF us. Our companion thcrc-
fore took the most prudent course and
acknowledged that history might say
so. and probably did say 80. This salts
fed tho big follow, and he turned away
and glarcd ut a Frcnchman. also q tour
list, who had como in later. After o
long stare hc walked up to Crapo and
shouted:
"ilast your bloomink parley vous,
but we've always licked yo out of yer
ooots Oh land anu sca!'
"You speak Won big lic.' shouted the
Frcnchman, hot in minute.
What! Call tho Liverpool Kid liar
to his face"
Aye! and sail now give you Won
awful bceg licking"
Johnny" got out of his coat in jiffy,
danced around with his hands up. and
to our uttcr astonishmcnt tho Kid went
right down into his boots and skunk out
OF tho room. having no moro pluck than
q hen. We sat there for five minutes
before any one spoke. Thcn it was tho
Boston man. who said:

yet that big dufycr nladc me swallow two

FARMERS AND SENATOR KNOTT.
.-BEDINGToN, w. VA, June 8, go.
Mr.. L'dt0r.-At a meeting held in
Martinsburg on Saturday last, Sena-
tor Chas. II. Knott was roundly
handled and severely criticised for
his actions in our recent Legislature.
The charge preferred against this
Would-be FARMERS friend" was that
he, during the election campaign,
made promises to advocate legislation
for the farmers interest, but when
the Chew railroad bill came up latter
passing the House) he would not even
give it vote for reconsideration in
his body, the Senate. DEMOCRAT.
The above speaks for itself. The
farmers had the matter in their own
hands at one time to elect II repre-
sentative who would serve their in
terests, but they let the opportunity
pass, and their censure of Senator
Knott's past action amounts to moth
ing. The Democrat endeavored to
elicit from Senator Knott answers to
certain interrogatories of interest to
agriculture prior to his election, and
if our farmer friens had united with
us, we could have forced at the point
of the bayonet satisfactory replies.
We had almost come to the conclusion
that their long silence was vindica-
ton of his legislature course, and had
joined hands with his party organs
in this county, that proclaimed in
season and out of season, "there's
nothing the matter with Charlie
Knott; he's all right ."-Democrdt.

Bunker Hill Correspondence.

Sometime ago we spoke about the
good could be done by members of the
different churches joining together
and organizing Young Mems Chris
tian Association at this place. and we
are sorry to say that there is no move
in that direction yet. Don't some of
you think that it would be move in
the right direction, and be the means
of doing a great deal of good. Can't
some of the leaders take hold and
make the start; this we think would
be christian act. Well do those
who are devoted readers of the Bible
know that religion without sympathy
and care for others is religion not
worth having it is religion in name
only, without any reality in it. The
Bible commands US to look not only
on our own things but also to the
things of others, 1t says to those who
enjoy the blessings which the gospel
bring. " Freely yea have received.
freely give" Common humanity
would require that much but Chris
tianity is more than common humani-
ty. 1t makes every truly converted
person. who has received pardon for
his sins, long that Others might be
pardoned of their sins. 1t makes every
one who has hope for salvation now
and hope for heaven hereafter, pray
that others may have the same hope
and be prepared for the same heaven.
Then don't you think that an associa-
ton started upon these principles
would be the means of bringing
many to Christ. Those who never in
the church and it would assist those
who are getting luke warm and bring
ing back those who have gone astray.
1--WE are sorry to say you will find
such everywhere and for the benefit
of those who never think of those who
have gone astray, we will give You a
piece of poetry, (perhaps some have
read it, which we clipped from an old
newspaper few days ago:
Have you seen my lamb that has gone ast,ay,
Afar from the Shepherds fold,
Away in the deserts " wild and bare, or in
Have you ever sought to bring it back
BY word or a look or prayer,
Or followed it on where it wandered lone
And tried to reclaim it there.
Ye gather each week in your place ofprayer,
And you speak OF your love for them,
And pray that your daily life may bear
Some fruit that the world may see.
You mean it well-but when once away,
Do you live that life of prayer?
Is the soul of the lamb that has gone asiray
Your chief aud greatest care.
Yea, speak of the good that yon mean to do,
Among your fellow men,
Yet we larry full oft mid the joys of earth.
They are watching your footsteps then.
And while you are stopped for pleasure or
ease,
The lamb that has gone astray,
Has wandered the farther mid darkness and
sin,
Along the forbidden way. :tt
II is perishing now in the bleak and cold,
While you might have saved its life
Are you thinking too much of your ease and
your gains
To enter the Christian work :?
When the reckoning is called and tlic balance
made,
VIII the wealth of a single day
Atone for the loss of the dying soul
of the one you left go astray.

The Band Concert.

The band concert Tuesday night
brought out the usual large and gen.

1t is again necessary to call atten-
tion to the noisy behavior of the chill
dren who had far better be at home
engaged in some more profitable en-
ployment. There are also some "adult
who have lived long enough
in this world to behave themselves
and have little consideration for
other peoples feelings. AS an entirety
the people of Martinsburg are musi-
cally inclined and feel a deep interest
in the success of these concerts as well
as musical events generally and it is
to be hoped that those few exception
able people who prefer rowdyism to
music will not mar the seDsibilities
of the majority who are not in the
least interested in their undecorous
chatter. B. E.

Several boys while fishing in the
Tuscarora creek last Tuesday, near
the Water works, discovered the body
of finely formed male infant which
had evidently been in the water only
over night. The investigation by
Coroner Deatrick only revealed the
fact that it had been born alive. 1t is
to be hoped that the proper authori-
ties will exert all the means in their
power to find out the person who is
guilty of such cruel murder. Cases
of this description are becoming far
too prevalent and 1t is high time
something is done. Employ a good
detective and trace this thing to its
source at any cost. 1t is debt that
you owe to humanity, and to the
people.
The Coroner held the inquest and
the jury rendered verdict ofdeath by
criminal neglect. the Doctors post
norton examination showing that
the child was dead when thrown into
the water, but had been born alive
and died from bleeding through GRIM
inal or ignorant neglect.
