What a blessed thing is memory How

and hides It's unpleasantness. You recall
your childhood days, do you not, and
wish they would return? You remember
the pleasant associations, while the un-
pleasant ones are forgotten. Perhaps to
your mind comes the face Of some friend.
II was once a pale, sad face. IL showed
marks of pain, lines of care. IL seemed
to be looking into the hereafter, the I'M
known future. And then you recalled how
1t frightened, how II recovered It's rosy
hue. how II became picture OF happiness
and JOY. Do you remember these thingsf
Many people do and gladly tell how the
health returned, how happiness came
back, how the world seemed bright. They
tell how they were once weak, nerveless,
perhaps I'm pain, certainly unhappy. They
tell OF sleepless nights. restless days, I'M

they tell how they became happy, healthy
and strong once more. You have heard
Of II often In the past. have you not?

Political Notes.

State Chairman Ellyson returned yes
ter1ay from Radford. where he held a
very satisfactory conference with the
Democratic leaders Of the Southwest.
Mr.. Ellyson is doing all one man may
do 10 stir up the rank and file Of the
Democratic party 70 the fact that they
have a fight before them. He sees vic
tory ahead. but as a man experienced
I'm fighting the battles Of the party tn Vir-
glnia recognizes the situation TO be one
which behooves the workers Of every
decree TO be up and doing.
This time last year the clubs Of this
city were straining every point In an
intense political rivalry. The best speak
ers were secured 20 address their gath
erings. and hot work was the rule Of the
day. There Is a strong contrast now
when the State contest is near. The Dem
ocratic clubs may be said TO have done
no practical work so far. There are
signs however. OF the awakening OF
dormant energy and enthusiasm.

ton meeting last night at its rooms on
First street. Oscar Kreig, the Democratic
nominee of that district, is treasurer of
the club. and as a result, the members.
with whom he is very popular, are doing
some telling hustling for him.. The Fifth
district Is thickly populated with Ger

peal for the support Of the entire Demo-
cratic ticket, as did Godfrey b. Mathews.
the Secretary, with the result that the
straight Democratic ticket was endorsed.
