AVERTING A SERIOUS PANIC.

A good story is told of sea captain
who died not long ago, and who was
for merly in command of a ship in
which passengers were carried from
London to Lisbon. On one occasion
the ship caught fire and the passen-
gers and crew were compelled to take
hurriedly to the boats. The captain
remained perfectly cool throughout
all the confusion and fright of the de-
barkation, and at last every one but
himself got safely into the boat.
By the time he was ready to follow
the passengers were almost wild with
excitement and fear. Instead of hur-
rying down the ladder the captain
called out to the sailors to hold on
a minute, and taking cigar from his
pocket cody lighted it with a bit of
burning rope which had fallen from
the rigging at his feet. Then he des-
cended with elaboration and gave
the order toh off.
How could you stop to light cigar
at such moment? he was asked af-
terward when some of the passengers
were talking over their escape.
Because, he answered saw that if
did not do something to divert the
minds of those in the boat there was
likely to be panic, and overcrowded
as it was, there was danger of the
boat being upset. The act took but a
moment; but it attracted the atten-
ton of everybody. was not nearly
so unconcerned as seemed to be, but
was in reality in a fever of excite
ment. My little plan succeeded. You
all forgot yourselves because you
were thinking about my curious be-
havior, and we got off safely.

Giuen up By ttco Doctors. Read ,ohat Mrs.
Annie Hoyt, of Letete, ". B., says: Ny life
sdUed by taking sic bottles of DR.. Thomp-
sons SdrsdparittG, the Great English Rem
edy. She says:
was given up TO die by two celebrated doc
tors. Thirteen months ago was great suf-
bear to uch my foot to the floor. 1t grew
worse every day and my leg from the knee to
the ankle, began to turn black and mortlfy
L had to take to my bed. After a time the sore
broke and it was awful 1t began to eat my
flesh away, leaving the bone bare. L sent for
the doctor at st George. He came, examined
and left a wash and salve which used,
receiving no benefit. After a short time L
sent for him again and he brought another
doctor with him for consultation. They de-
cided that the only way to save my life was to
amputate my leg at the knee. and as am an
old lady of sixty-Seven, the chances would be
decidedly against my surviving the opera
tion, when l was wasting away to shadow.
l would not allow them to DO this A short
time after this, neighbor advised me to try
DIR. ThOmpsOn's Sarsaparilla, the Great
English Remedy. Said it would purify my
health and the sore would heal. l sent for six
bottles, commenced using it and began to feel
better from the start. My leg began to heal
and my general health began to improves;
after using the six bottles, the sore healed up
and l could bear my weight on the foot,
could walk around the house. Just think!
For over thirteen months had not been able
to touch my foot to the ground or leave my
bed, and have since then walked two miles
without resting. 1t is truly wonderful how
well am today. This great blood purifier
to testify so. Any one wishing to know fur
Their of my case, write me and with pleasure
will furnish any further testimonial if by so
doing some poor sufferer may be benefited

YnIne of Good Roads.

AS an illustration of the import
ance of good roads it is stated that
in Union County, n j.. the farm
ing lands have Increased in value
an average of s2O6 per acre owing
to the improved system of road con
struction. An engineer recently
calculated that the annual cost of
bad roads in West Virginia was no
less than s4,725, 463,99l. This he
charges to interest on the deprecia-
ton of land, additional cost of haul
ing, loss of time in hauling, depre
citation of vehicles and depreciation
of horses. THIS amount of money
be adds, would cover the expense
of building LILO miles of the best
macadam roads each year--New
York Sun.
May be some of our land owners,
who are opposed to paying taxes to
get good roads, might draw lesson
from the above.

Hucksters.

Weare frequently inquired of as
to the law requiring hucksters to
pay license. We publish Section
70, Chapter 80, of the Code of West
Va, 1891, page 249:
On every license to act as hawker
or peddler, if the person licensed
travel without a horse, one hundred
dollars; if he travel with one horse,
With or without Il wagon, or other
vehicle, one hundred and fifty dol
lars; if he travel with two or more
horses, with or without a vehicle,
two hundred dollars. Such license
shall be placed in some conspicuous
place in his wagon or about his
pack; ProUided, That nothing in
this chapter shall be construed as
levying license tax on what are
commonly known as hucksters, who,
for the purposes of this chapter,
are persons that travel with a wa
gon or other vehicle with one or
more horses, and buy the produce
of farmers, and pay therefor with
money, or with articles of merchan
disc for the sale OF which no license
tax is required by law.
