CHARLEY'S PRECIOUS HAIR.
Heartiess Deception of "A Trusting Maid by II
Bald Young Man.

Heartiess Deception of a Trusting Maid by
Bald Young Man.
He had the air of a man of the world.
His dress was becoming and not too
snowy He seemed to be an individual
who had dined well, who would tell good
stories at the club.
Stretched out in the barber's chair in
the hairdresser's room on School street,
instead Of setting down with that in
different, self satisfied air that usually
comes over man in that situation, he
seemed troubled. He looked about from
chair to chair, and set he was not happy
The barber shaved him and was so i'm
pressed that he even forgot to talk him
to death. Then the man sat bolt up
from his pocket. 1t was seer ted; the
barber could tell that. II was written in
lady's hand too.
The strange man opened it took out
note, read it over and over again, then
from it's folds withdrew a lock of hair 1t
was golden, aud the victims who were
waiting for their turn in the chair saw
him kiss the sunny lock and put it back
in the envelope.
Hair cut?' asked the barber, as he
rubbed the tufts of hair which sur
rounded a bald spot on the strange mar s
head.
"No, no, not for the wolld," he re
piled, 81 cannot spare any"
"Man in next chair has hair like yours,
only little mole of it," suggested the
barber.
"By Jove, he has," said the troubled
man, and he darted ont of his seat and
almost jumped to tho occupant of the
next chair.
"Going to have a hair cut?' asked the
strange man.
"No," was the rather curt reply.
"Well, will you have hair cut at my
expense?" said the man without hesta-
tion. Il must send my best girl lock
of hair and l can't spare mine. Come,
how much is it worth?' and the eyes of
the colored boy who brushes coats bulg
ed out beyond his forehead.
Sell it for small bottle!" replied the
man with good growth on his head,
and the stranger answered, "Pll go you"
The barber began his work, and lock
of the mans hair was handed over to the
stranger, who put it in little silver
locket that bore a monogram. Then
when the work was finished the two
walked out together.
The stranger was smiling contentedly,
the clubman grinned, the barber laughed
and the customers gazed on in astonish-
ment.
Wasn't Charley dear, good fellow
to keep his promise and send me a lock
of his hair?' said the pretty girl that
night as she took the daintiest sort of a
lock from the little box. And all was
still but for the beating of her faithful
heart.-Bost0n Herald.

Apples as an Aid to Digestion.

Apples as an Aid to Digestion.
For those who use their brains the
apple Is an especially proper article of
diet and for nervous people and those
suffering from any weakness of the spine
for apples contain more phosphorus than
any other known fruit or vegetable. and
this phosphorus is admirably adapted for
renewing the essential nervous matter of
the brain and spinal cord. The acids of
the apple are also of signal use for those
persons of sedenJary habits whose lvers
are sluggish in action, these acids serving
to eliminate from the body noxious
matters which if retained, render the
the brain heavy and dull, or fetch erup
tions to the surface of the skin, bring on
jauudice or like troubles.
When eating meats richly cooked one
should accompany such dishes with
plenty of apple sauce as it will neutralize
any excess of chalky matter engendered
by eating to much meat. For sour
stomach, too, the apples should be eaten
as it's salts and juices are converted iuto
alkaline carbonates, which tend to
counterfeit acidity.

to prevent it. They're the origi-

They cleanse and regulate the whole

buy, for they're guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is re-

You pay only for the value re-

fires OF Republicanism from the head.

Hon. G. I. Caldwell, candidate for Con-
gress, and Hon. G. b. Gibbons, candi.
date for the state senate, will leave
Monday for two weeks trip up the
valley, and will speak in Writ, Roanc,
Calhoun and Gilmer counties. In
honor of their visit in that section the
patriotic Republicans OF the upper
valley have swung huge streamer
across the Little Kanawha river nj
Rocksdale, bearing the words: vote
Tor Charlie Caldwell and free river.
That stream now is controlled by q
Democratic syndicate known as the
Little Kanawha Navigation Company,
but after the next election that corpor'
alton can get ready to vacate and give
the water to tho people TO whom it be-
longs. Charlie will attend 10 that. -,
Messrs. Caldwell and Gibbons will
carry on the good work SO nobly begun
up the Kanawha by the next governor,
7. L. Davis, and ex-Congressman At
kinson. Whilo Mr. Gibbons has dcs-
perate fight before him, owing TO the
outrageous Democratic gerrymandor,
still he Is the man to make that fight.
he will make Mr.. Henderson think

Hon RprTuall q 1IprV. fha Now Y OTis
Tribune orator, will speak to the people
night. Mr.. Horr has been here before,
and ii the night is pleasant an outdoor
meeting would be tho thing, because
the crowd that will 70 to hear him will
never get into any building in this city,
He is terror to free trade Democracy
and the people know it.
Chairman j. 7. Harris, OF the con-
gressional committee, returned today
IRON u trip through the lower end OF
the district, and reports everything in
good shape. Capehart is on the ragged
edge and Caldwell will have him clean
over tho preCipice ina short time.
Our next attorney general, Hon. I. 0.
Bullock, is letting his voice be heard in
the campaign and is putting in all his
time for the success OF tie Republican
ticket.
The next prosecuting attorney OF
Wood county, J. W. Vandovort, and the
next criminal Judge, George LOOMS,
are holding meetings almost daily and
nightly over tho county, speaking to
large and enthusiastic audiences, while
Mr.. J. @. MINES, candidate for the leg
isiature, is hustiing for tho whole
ticket. And so it goes.
Every Republican seems to have
made up his mind to 20 in and win, and
that's what we are here for.
1t is safe to say that Wood county
will elect every man on the Republican
ticket by IN increased majority, send
three Republican delegates TO the legis-
lature, and help to place Gibbons in
senator's chair, and will roll up such Il
majority for Caldwell as was never
heard OF before.
