Love IN 4 SpoNSJoRn.
BY NJ. DARLINGTON BAYLEY.

SHE was little Puritan maiden,
with honest gray eyes, and sweet,
bashful face. Her parents called her
Dorothy; her friends, Dolly. She
had been brought up very strictly
and it was not without misgivings
that her family allowed her to visit
her rich uncle and aunt in London,
but they could not well refuse the
invitation.
Dolly had been in London only
one short week, and she was bewitch-
ed with everything she saw. She
loved her uncle and aunt, both of
whom displayed strong affections for
her, and INDUCED her in freedom
which she had never tasted before.
She was delighted with the sub
stantial old house, with its large
rooms, big fire-places and comforta-
BILE furniture. More than all, she adj
mired London itself. The busy
streets, with their palatial shops, the
colossal buildings-St. Paurs, the
Abbey, the Houses of Parliament,
the broad, quiet squares, which
seemed TO have been dropped
down at random among the wilder
ness OF houses; the gay restaurants
and the brilliant fascinating theatres.
She particularly liked it at night,
when illumined by countless lights,
whose reflections glittered on the
pavement; and when the black dark
ness OF the sky, unaccompanied by
the deathly silence that it brought
in the country, seemed rather to en-
hance the noise and hustle of the
prodigal streets. There was some
thing romantic about it all. 1t
thrilled her, she knew not why. Her
heart beat faster, he- pulse bounded,
more quickly. She felt more alive
than she had ever felt before.
There was another source Of pleas
ure. Never before had she been
thrown into the company Of SO en-
gaging young gentleman as her
cousin Tom, the only child of her
uncle and aunt. He was Dolly's

Hon. Vim. s. Edwards,
Who is Speaker of the House OF
Delegates of w. Va.
OF KANAwHA

Mr.. Edwards was raised among
the picturesque surroundings OF Ka-
nawha and Fayette counties, his
father living, as now, at Coalburgh,
about twenty miles above Charles
ton.
His family for some fifty years
have been conspicuous figures in the
industrial movements of the Great
Kanawha valley. AS early as 1852
both his grandfather, Col. WIN. Fl.
Edwards, and his father, Hon. VIII.
Edwards, began the development of
Kanawha's coal fields and mines, and
did more than almost any other men
of that section and of Virginia, to
call the attention of the outside
world to the yet undeveloped wealth
of Kanawha's hills and mountains.
William Seymour Edwards, after
passing his boyhood in Kanawha,
studied at Cornell University and
Columbian Law School,in NewYork,
where he graduated with honors in
1881, and then returned to begin the
practice of law in Charleston. He
has been as successful in affairs as at
the bar, having built up fine prac-
tice and achieved success in bust
ness affairs that but rarely comes so
early in a mans life. Among the
many successful enterprises with
which his name is connected, none
perhaps is more conspicuous than
that of finding and finally supplying
to Charleston the natural gas with
which the city is now piped. He has
brought thousands Of dollars into
West Virginia, and thereby been of
inestimable benefit to his people of
Kanawha, as we'll as the people of
the State at large.
In politics, his career has also been
emlnently successful. Nominated at
the head of the poll in 1892, for tue

A SERIOUS OBJECTION.

When DR.. Franklin's mother-in.
law first discovered that the young
printer had q hankering for her
daughter, the good old lady was dis.
posed to object to the match. She
said she did not know so well about
giving her daughter to a printer, as
there were already two printing Of
fees in the United States, and there
fore was doubtful whether the coun-
try would or could support any
more. 1t was plain that youngFrank-
lin would have to depend on the
profits Of the third for the support Of
his family and this seemed to her to
be serious risk.
If such an objection was urged
agains. a would-bc son in-law when
there we're but two printing offices
in the United States, how can q

senior by some half dozen years.
Had Dolly's parents suspected what
manner of young man he was, they
would have made special journey
to London to bring their daughter
home. Fortunately, they were ig-
norant.
There was nothing really bad about
the lad. He had very good heart,
but he wanted steadying little. He
was exactly the sort of dashing,
reckless, freehanded young English.
man that handsome, manly fellow
becomes when placed in circum-
stances of wealth and freedom. The
first time he saw his cousin Dolly, he
decided that she was a very pretty
girl, but shy, and that it would be
worth while to draw her out.
He found it not easy, and that mot
withstanding the fact, had be known
it, that there was In Dolly's heart an
intense willingness to be drawn out
by cousin Tom. But that shyness
of hers was a fashionable barrier.
She could not chatter; the thing
was impossible. Her silence had
been inbred SO long that it had be-
come part Of her anatomical struc-
ture, and Tom, in spite of all his
conversational talents and social pol.
ish, frequently found himself reduced
by it to corresponding state.
On the other hand, if Dolly could
not speak, she could look. She had
extremely eloquent eyes; eyes that
| spoke far more than her lips. Tom
soon began to watsh those eyes and
to love them. He no longer attempt
ed 10 make his cousin talk; her eyes
rendered conversation unnecessary.
One afternoon, in the first week oil
January, he sauntered into his moth

a handsome majority. In that House
he distinguished himself by his 10y
atty to the interests OF the masses OF
the people, his uncompromising sense
of honor and as man having the
courage ofhis convictions. He fought
for the eight hour law he led the
battle for longer term for the free

employment of the convicts, from the
State penitentiary and jails, upon the
public roads under one comprehen-
sive system. thereby giving cheaper
haulage to the farmer, and Kidding
honest labor from the co npetition OF
convict toll. He waged unceasing
warfare against legislative stealage
and abuses made possible to the
Stale Democratic mstghne by SER
les of laws heretofore enacted by
Democratic legislatures. He stood
then, and stands to-day, for better
schools, better roads, shorter hours
for labor, retrenchment in public ex-
penditures and reform of fragrant
public evils.
In August last he was re.nominat-
ed to the legislature by an extraor.

by some 857 votes at the primary
election. And after an active canvass
be was reelected, with his co-dele-

In the election of Mr.. Edwards, as
Speaker, the Republican party have
set to the fore q man who embodies
IN himself the best traditions Of the
Republic, who believes that public
office is public trust, and in whom
the masses Of the people will never
lack friend.

STRAW BoNNErs.

In 1871 when straw bonnets first
became general, it WAS common to
trim them with artificial wheat or
barley, in ears, on which custom
wag wrote the following:
"Who now OF threatening famine dare
complain,
When every female forehead teens with
grain
See how the wheat sheayes nod amid
the plumes;
Our barns are now transferred to draw
inP-rooms,
And husbands who indulge in active
lives,
To fill their granaries, can simply thrash

Then the snow came down.
There was no mistake about it,
either; it did come, with ven
geance. The flakes were nearly as
large as mans hand, and the sky
was full of them.
Dolly said Tom, firmly, "you

her along as fast as he could. 1t was

About six months ago my little son, aged
three, was very much troubled with breaking
out on his scalp and behind his ear. The places
effected were about as large as silver dollar,
the flesh seemed raw and covered with little
blisters. The child suffered considerably, and
was naturally very fretful. Itried several RENE
dies without obtaining any beneficial results,
in fact the eruptions seemed TO be spreading
and new places breaking out. ! concluded
to try the CUTIcURA REMEDIES, and bought
a box of CUTICURA, cake of CUTICURA SOAP,
and bottle of CUTIcURA REsoLyENT. washed
the effected parts with the CUTICURA SOAP,
taking care not to irritate the flesh, and applied
CUTIcURA. noticed a change for the better in
the appearance of the eruptions in twenty-four
hours. continued the treatment morning and
night, and in two weeks the eruptions entirely
disappeared, leaving the skin smooth and the
scalp clean, in fact perfect cure, as have not
seen any indications of any eruption or breaking
out since. gave the child only few doses of
the CUTIoURA REsoLvENT. consider your
CUTIoURA REMEDIES very valuable, and expect
to keep small supply constantly on hand. l
believe CUTICURA would be excellent for apply
ing to insect bites, which are very annoying in
this country. c. A. ARMSTRONG;,
