The 0racular Observations of One OF the
Fair Sex.
All things come half way to the man
who can't wait too long.
Diversity of opinion should never
breed hatred: it does though.
A man with unhinching adherence to
a purpose can half control his destiny.
There are plenty Of philosophers who
can stand tribulation, but not Vexa-

It does not always do to make small
start; sometimes good bluff does bet

The worst of an unheroic life is that
it affords no taste of the luxury OF self
forgetfu1ness.
Be like glass, and draw the sunshine
Of happiness. Then let it shine through
you upon others.

THE STORY OF THE BALD-HEADED MAN.
We followed the Indian down the
sordid and common passage, i'll lit and
worse furnished, until he came to a
door upon the right, which he threw
open. A blaze of yellow light streamed
out upon us, and in the center of the
glare there stood small man with
very high head, a bristle of red
hair all round the fringe of it, and
bald shining scalp, which shot
out from among it like mountain
peak from fir trees. He writhed his
hands together as he stood, and his
features were in q perpetual jerk, now
smiling, now scowling, but never for
an instant in repose. Nature had given
him a pendulous lip, and a too visible
line of yellow and irregular teeth,
which he strove feebly to conceal by
constantly passing his hand over the
lower part of his face. In spite Of his
obtrusive badness, he gave the impress
sion of youth. In point of fact he had
just turned his thirtieth year.
your servant, Miss Morstan,. he
kept repeating in thin, high voice.
Your servant, gentlemen. Pray step
into my little sanctum. small place,
miss, but furnished TO my own liking.
An oasis of art in the howling desert of

We were all astonished by the APP
pearance Of the apartment into which
he invited as. In that sorry house it
looked as out of place as a diamond of
the first water In setting of brass.
The richest and glossiest of curtains
and tapestries draped the walls, looped
back here and there to expose some
richly mounted painting or Oriental
vase. The carpet was Of amber and
black, SO soft and SO thick that the
foot sank pleasantly into it, as into a
bed of moss. Two great tiger-skins
thrown athwart it increased the sug-
gestion OF eastern luxury, as did q
huge nookah which stood upon mat
in the corner. A lamp In the fashion OF
q silver dove was hung from an almost
invisible golden wire In the center Of
the room AS it burned it filled the air
with subtle and aromatic odor.

man, still jerking and smiling. That

NOTES.

The fielding was the best our boys
have done this season.
Zimmerman carried off the honors
in batting in this game.
A large crowd of "rooters" we're
out and had 10Y time.
VanHorn umpired the game, and
his decisions were fair and impair
tial.
Riders pitching was great, and
the management should keep him on
the nine.
A slight rain came up, but it did
not interfere with the progress of
the game.
Pitzer was there, but did not play.
We would like to see Charlie in his
old place.
Pittinger was given very poor sup
port, and retired from the box in the
9th inning.
The Greencastlc boys are gentle
manly set of fellows, and can play
ball, but they need practice.
Manager Evans should see that
the crowd is kept back of the wires.
To allow it at first means to allow it
all the time.
Not quite as large crowd attend
ed as at the opening game. Turn
out and let the boys see that you
take an interest in the game.
Greencastle's second baseman was
unfortunate in having one of his fin
gers badly torn by a thrown ball in
the second inning, and had to retire
from the game.
The management should see that
a sufficient number of balls are on
hand, so that the game need not be
delayed by waiting on ball when it
goes over the fence.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-Richard
Olney today became Secretary of
State, succeeding the late Walter @.
Gresham. Chief Justice Fuller, who
had come to Washington from Rich
mond, administered the oath of Office
to the new Secretary in the diplo-
matte room at the State Department.
Mr.. Olney reached the Department
alone at 1915, and after few minutes
conversation with Mr.. Lands, pri-
vate secretary to the late Secretary,
he was joined by assistant Secretar-
les Uhl, Adee and Rockhill, and re-
ceived their congratulations. Chief
Justice Fuller appeared half an hour
later accompanied by his daughter,
Mrs. Aubrey. Secretary Lamont,
also came over from the War Depart
ment, and the party, which had been
chatting in the Secretary's office, re-
paired to the diplomatic room adjoin-
ing and the oath was administered.
The Secretary then received the
chiefs of the State Department, and
settled down at once to the routine
of his Office.

THE W. VA. UNIVERSITY,

This institution has always prom
ised well, but has always been fated
with plenty of mismanagement and
miserable intrigues, pro and con for
the officials. This battle continues,
but the great mistake made years
ago Of making it political protege
has about ended. GOV. MacCorkle,
while having his own opinions, rec
ognizes that other persons have o
right to theirs and as citizens have a
right to recognition. The COM
mencement, now ended, was a brill
liant and educational affair. The
Governor Of the State, Senator Elk
ms, Congressman Dayton and other
distinguished gentlemen were pres
ent, and made worthy addresses.
We look forward to a grand result
for this university But there must
be discipline. professors fall out and
bicker, what can they expect of stu.
dents, except for them to take sides
and then a regular warfare, reaching
back to the homes of the students.
Quit it. Have discipline. a stu.
dent should obey, but how can he,
with ragged roughness among his
tutors? No person should send a
child to q school where the Faculty
does not look after and care for
them, and the students should obey
there, as at home, otherwise the
child is lost, and tie money expend-
ed positive injury. Whatever par
ty may be in ascendency, divide the
responsibility to citizens of all par
ties in all State institutions, and let
no person understand that from the
mere fact election law of his being
partisan, that he is to be preferred.
Fitness and ability are the proper
requisites, with fair sprinkling of
general and not special party ap-
pointments. Growth in developing
is going on in West Virginia, and if
properly looked after, will attend
the university.
