In q FIRE you get very close down
to human nature, observes the New
York Sun. The other night an
apartment house took FIRE. There
was no time to be lost by the in
mates. A mother, scantily clad and
crying, took out her two little chill
dren. A wife buttoned herself in
her long newmarket and ran, lead
ing her brown-eared setter. A de-
voted son and daughter on the top
floor dressed warmly their helpless
old mother of so and waited to car
ry her, if need be, across the fire
escape. One woman put on fur
lined cape over her night dress and
came forth with a travelling bag
filled with silver. A young widow
ran for her new Sunday frock and
took down the departed ones por-
trait. Another came forth fully
equipped as for church, in jacket,
tipped hat, and crimps. Another
young woman left all her belong
ings and fled in her nigth dress,
blistering her bare feet on the Gin
ders, and ran down the street call
ing for a carriage. Another got
her valuables in her sealskin coat,
and finding the smoke not too
threatening, fished out her long
tailed gown and the black silk sill
houettes of her grandfather and
grandmother, she knew she couldn't
replace. One man contented him
self with bath robe, another dress
ed himself in his four-in-hand tie
and scarf pin.

"Apd They Stood Still.,

American intellect is character
istic the world over for its brillian-
cy. Appropos of this statement is a
little historical incident narrated by
an exchange to which we are glad
to direct attention. Ben. Franklin
was dining with a small party of
gentlemen when one of them said:
"Here are three nationalities repre-
sented; 1 am French, my friend here
is English, and Mr.. Franklin is
American. Let each propose a
toastl" The Bnglishman rose and in
the tone of a Britain bold, said:
"Here's to Great Briton, the sun
that gives light to the nations of
the earth" Tho Frenchman was
rather taken back at this, but he
proposed "Here's to France, the
moon whose magic rays move the
tides of the world" Franklin then
rose and with an air of quaint mod
esty, said: "Here's to George
Washington, the Joshua of America,
who commanded the sun and the
moon to stand still-and they stood
still"

A West Yirginian Thought he Was in it,
But he Wasn't.


Washington, d. c., March Is
This was semi monthly pay day at
the Postoffice Department, and this
afternoon a long line of clerks form
ed in the corridor near the disburs-
ing clerks office to receive the en-
velopes in turn. While they were
thus standing new arrival in town
from West Virginia burst into the
building, satchel in hand, and eager
to to file an application for Office
with the Postmaster General. See
ing the long line of clerks, he has
tily took his place at the tail end
and slowly made his way forward
as those in front were paid off and
went away. At last the man ahead
of him noticing he was stranger
in the department, inquired what
he wanted with the disbursing
clerk; he wanted to see the Post
master General. The clerk smiled
and explained the situation to the
stranger.
"H-L," exclaimed the West Yir-
ginia man, 81 thought this was a
line of candidates for Office waiting
to see the Postmaster General" and
off he went.

he once found a good way of getting
rid of borrower. aWebster," said
Rufus Choate, "I want to borrow
$500 and 1 wish you would lend it
to me-" 81 haven't the money to-
day, Mr.. Choate," said Webster,
"but you can give me your note
and | can get it cashed for you"
Gratifed beyond measure, Choate
sat down to write his note. aBy
z way, Choate," said Webster, in
an of-hand way, "you might as well
make that note for 81 900, and 1 can
use $500 myself" "Certainly," said
Choate, cheerfully, and he signed a
note for an even 81, 900. Then the
immortal Daniel sauntered down to
a bankers Office. "Ah, anything
can do for you, Mr.. Webster" "Can
you discount a note for 81 900 for
me?" "With pleasure" The great
statesman pocketed 81 900 in bills,
gave $500 Choate, who was ELUSIVE
in his thanks, and kept the Osher
$500 himself Daniel was what
would be called in these days a
dandy fnancier.

Much of the trouble of domestic
life is the outcome of fashionable
society. Nearly everything in this
charmed circle tends to evil and
that continually. The society wo-
man, in order to shine in a way to
satisfy her vanity, must give her
time and thought to the demands OF
the imperious goddess, and be ready
to meet her countless engagements.
This necessarily draws upon her
domestic and maternal duties and
leaves her husband and children
neglected. In thousands of instan-
ces it depletes the pocket of her hus-
band to meet the countless extrava-
gances of the blind deyotee, and
ends in poverty and want, degrade
ton and shame.

Occasionally we find a man who,
in stopping his subscription, thinks
it necessary to apologize and try to
explain why he can't take our paper
any longer. Generally there is a
good deal of description about these
explanations, and then it is not nee
essary, anyway. IF you want to
stop taking a paper, pay up and or

Iord. Conc OuIek1

AT small and informal receptions
it is now quite common thing for
company to spend portion Of the
evenings in relating and listening to
stories. In fact, the popularity ofa
belle or beau very largely depends.
upon the ability to tell in an inter-
esting way narratives and anecdotes
NOT jokes-which are not yellow
and moss.colored from age. Not
many evenings ago 1 was fortunate
enough to be an invited guest at a
small gathering and was more than
ever impressed with this story-telI-
ing fad. A very bright and piquant
blonde, with waving tresses, clear
cut features and stately grace, won
the laurels of the evening. After
manifesting the usual maidenly
modesty in acceding to the wishes
and appeals of the party for a re.
sponse from ner, she began:
cit was down in the cotton regions
of South Carolina on the evening of
the earthquake, six years ago, that
Rev. Ephraim Jones, Hard-Shell
Baptist preacher, was expounding
the Gospel to his flock, when the
first shock was received. 1t caused
the little church house to culver and
many members of the congregation
to take their departure for their re-
spcctive homes. This was succeed
ed by terrible rumbling and anoth-
CIR quake which almost shook the
house from its foundation. Up to
this time old Ephraim had advised
his flock to remain quiet, telling
them that all things we-e safe in
the hands of the Lord. After the
third shock the venerable preacher
glanced around and saw that he was
talking to two rows of unoccupied
benches. He lifted his glasses upon
his forehead, wiped the accumulated
persplratlon from his face, fell upon
his knees and cried out in his soli-
tude: so Lord, things is mighty
shaken up down here below.
doan know what gettin' de matter.
Dere are mighty crumblin' an
rumblin', and o Lord, 1 call upon
yer to come down an see if yer
cant do somethin' for us poor sin
ners. Now, o Lord, 1 want yer to
come down, to come down quick;

A RerIral q Conildence.

Our republican contemporaries
admit that, within the past few days,
there has been a revival of conf
dence in the commercial and finan-
cial circles of our large cities.
The truth is, there was no reason
for the recent tightness of the money
market. After Mr.. Cleveland's s
election, and at the time of his inau-
guration, the republican gold bugs
and contractionists predicted great
financial disturbances as the out
come of the democratic policy on
the tariff and money questions.
They would have been gratified to
see the country thrown into spasm
of apprehension, but their second
sober thought has led them to take
a different view of the situation.
1t is now very well understood
that. if our gold has been going to
Europe, it has gone there to pay for
the Injuries purchased by our peo-
pie, and this fact simply shows that
our well.to-do classes have had
plenty of surplus cash to spend.
When our gold goes abroad it is be-
cause we have received its equiva-
lent in some other shape.
The prophets of evil have recon-
sidered their programme. They
have come to the conclusion that
self-interest will cause the demo-
cratic party to do its level best to
promote the general prosperity of
the republic, and they see that, un-
der new conditions of tariff and
financial reform, they will enjoy
many advantages heretofore beyond
their reach. The wiping out of sec
tionalism with its force bill methods
puts the world upon notice that in
vestments in the inviting fields of
enterprise just opening in the south
ern states will not be depressed or
interfered with by unfriendly Iegis-
lation.
The capitalists of the country may
be hostile to a revenue tariff, free
coinage and state banks, but they
are men of foresight and energy,
and they know that the policy of
the new administration will give
new life TO industry and commerce,
and turn immigration southwark.
This is an era of good feeling and
business activity. Sectionalism and
partisan prejudices can no longer
retard our progress, and the money
kings of the east will be among the
first to adapt themselves to our new
policy. Seeing that they cannot
increase their wealth by contracting
the currency, they will expand their
investments and put every dollar of
their capital where it will develop
and build up, and yield profit.
Naturally, there is a revival of con-
fidence. When people make bust
ness bigger thing than politics,
they are on the road to prosperity.

Twenty years ago it was often
true that young man who drank
beer, or wine, or even whiskey in
moderation might be advanced to
places of greater trust and response
bility. 1t is now scarcely possible.
The habit is simply fatal to success.
1 do not believe there is single
reputable business house in the
cities where an employee who
drinks intoxicants of any kind has
anything like an even chance for
promotion. The taking of single
glass of beer may, and often does
mean, losing the chance of life
time. Brainy boys and young men,
teetotalers from principle, are plenty
enough to fill all the places in the
line of promotion.

TIE elRL ] LOVED AT SCHOOL.

When the mellow days of autumn wrap the
hills in purple haze,
And the sun seems all the dearer for the short
ness Of the days,
Comes o lovely apparition through the mists Of
other years,
And don't know why It is SO that my eyes viii
swim with tears
For hate to judge emotions by the textbooks
And only know I'm thinking of the girl
loved at school.
OF the deepest. brownest velvet are the sweetly
thoughtful eyes,
And the cheeks are like the roses that our gran
nies used to prize
Not the panpered. pinky blossoms that the hot
house man deals out
At four dollars for a dozen and with pasteboard
wrapped about
But the dear old damask roses that would hold
their tints till Yule-
Just the sort used TO gather for the girl /
loved at school
And the lips-no. mol not rubyi for the'. .dness
of the mine
Chills the Jewels FURNISHED aurfaee. th1lg the
fiery rays may shine
In the glaring Of the gaslight; filter far do they
compare
fragrance fingers there;
The same thrill runs through me as when on
the organ stool
My lips first pressed the pulsing lips of herI
loved at school
And the form. it grows distincter as the misty
veil grows thin,
And the silver belt that linked her. like the SER
pent shutting In
All that earth retained OF heaven, misses out.
Thou Jealous fooli''
For parted in my anger from the girl loved
at school
And know not If the aeeting of the purple
autumn days
Brings US nearer to the greeting at the meeting
Of our ways:
If it bo may not meet her TIL we've crossed
the StyRian pool,
Yet think that tAnll greet her as the girl
loved at school

The sale of 10000 acres Of camel
coal land in the Krnawha Valley
for the magnificent sum of s349, 500
is reported, at the rate of 1925 per
acre. Before a market was opened
up for that section by the construc-
ton of railroads it is doubtful
whether this land could have been
sold for SIS an acre. West Virginia
is rich in coal, iron, lumber, oil and
gas, and with the rapid construc-
ton of railroads now in progress in
various directions promises to in
crease greatly in wealth and popu-
Iation.
