he flew through the magic forest
Now the horse raised a glad
neighing and the forest became
light Yet a few more leads and
horse and rider reached a glittering
castle. Gay-colored banners flut-
tered from the towers; horns and
trumpets sounded, and on the ter
race stood the princess waving a
white handkerchief. She looked
like little neighbor Lena that had
played with Hans when he was yet
a boy and went to school, only she
was larger and a thousand times
more beautiful.
Hans sprang from the saddle and
FASTENED with blinking spurs up the
marble steps. In the open castle
gate stood the court marshal who
was also well-known to Hans.
The court-marshal reached out
his hand and seized the rider,
Ha3sen, by the ear, and cried, 1.-The
rascal is gone to sleep. Wait, I'll
fix you"
Then the spell was at an end.
Hans sat again at the ink-spotted
table, before him lay Cornelius Ne
pos and the Latin lexicon. Opposite
him sat Heinz writing SO that the
pen scratched, and by him stood
DR.. Cut-in-two, looking through his
glasses at the dreamer.
When finally the hour of their
freedom had struck and both boys
were out in the garden under the
holly tree eating their afternoon
lunch, Hans told his friend what
he had dreamed.
THAT is wonderful" said Heinz
when Hans had finished. Every
wonderful. | had a dream like tina
too, only the end is different; NJ
magic castle comes in my dream
Tell it," urged Hans.
Only dream is just the same a.
yours to the gold tree. You mount
ed the white steed and rode ava,
to deliver the princess; [, how
ever"
"WeIl?" asked Hans breathlessly
Il remained back and shook the
tree and filled my pockets with thc
gold leaves. Then the stupid doc
tor awakened me and the splendo1
was past"
Heinz" spoke Hans solemnly
and seized his friend by the hand
"when two people one and the same
dream have, it will really come
true. The dream was a prophecy
do you not think SOP"
The boys then ate the rest OF
their lunch and went to playing
ball.
Were the boys dreams fulfilled?
Certainly. Hans became a poet
and allowed the steed to bear him
through the green story forest
Heinz, however, who shook the golc
tree in the dream, became his pub

Men are just like hogs, however
distasteful this may sound to the
hog. When hog gets an ear of
corn, every other hog will trot
along behind him and squeal and
whine and beg and toady for bite,
but Just let the front hog get caught
with his head caught fast in crack
and every son of a SOW will jump
on him and tear him to pieces. Just
so with men. AS long as a man is
prosperous, has money, he can't
keep friends off with base ball bat.
The moment he is unfortunate and
his wealth is gone, he is not only
snubbed by his former alleged
friends, but they at once begin to
do him all the harm possible.
When man starts up grade the
world falls behind and pushes.
When he starts down grade the
world steps to one side and greases
the rack.-Ex.

THE GOLD-TREE.

the present fable writer of Germany,
translated by Miss Florence Snyder,
Of the agricultural college:
The room in which our story be-
oins was very plain and simple.
AGAINST the white washed walls
whose only decoration was a few
maps, stood two small beds, book
shelf and wardrobe upon which a
Globe had found place, In the mid
die of room stood Il long table,
decorated with ink stains, and at
the table two boys of about twelve
sat upon hard, wooden stools
The fair complexioned boy brood
ed over difficult part of Comelins
Nepos and sighingly turned the
hard lexicon. The dark one, how
ever, was perplexed about finding
the cube root of a nine-place num-
Der. The philoiogist was Hans,
the mathematician, Heinz.
Now and then the boys lifted
their heads and looked longingly
out the window through which the
flies flew humming in and out. In
the garden Law the golden sunshine
on the trees and fences and as if
for scorn a blooming holly tree
peeped into the study room of the
two young hopefuls. Yet an hour
must the poor boys sit and study
before they are allowed to be free,
and the minutes crept by like the
snails by the thorn bushes out in
the garden. An arbitrary shorten
ing of the work time was not to be
thought of, for in the adjoining room
sitting at the writing table was DR..
Cut-in-two, to whom the boys had
been delivered for rearing and teach
ing, and the door Of communica-
ton stood open so that the doctor
could assure himself continually
Of the presence of his wards and
watch over them.
Hannibal should have been able
to dc something more clever than
to cross the Alps" and Mine times

tynine, smurmured Heinz in a
gloomy voice. Then they both
looked up from their work, thought
and yawned.
Suddenly they heard aloud hum
ming. A gold beetle that may have
been sitting out on the holly tree,
had strayed into the room. Three
times it swung in circle around
the boys heads, then, splash!-and
it lay in the ink bottle.
1T served HIM quite right" said
Heinz, why didn't he stay where
ne was all right? But to be
drowned in ink is too miserable a
death; wait, partner, | will save
you"
He tried to help the struggling
beetle out of the ink with Il pen
holder, but quickly Hans accom-
pllShed the work of rescue with his
niger, Then the boys clearly dried
tne poor fellow with sheet of blot
Ting paper and watched HIM brush
himself with his fore feet.

change himself Immediately and
stand before us as an elf with a
kings mantel on and gold helmet
on his head"
He will fly away" said Heinz,
and laughed, buzz-z-z. "There he
goes"
The boys stepped to the window
and looked for the beetle. The
gllttering jewel cut through the air
in wide circle and disappeared
beyond the other side of the garden
wall. Presently an "ahemW was
audible, and both pupils turned
hastily back to their books.
Now here's the wonder" whis-
pered Hans to his companion, and
pointed to the inkstand.
Out of the inkstand jutted a green
twig which grew under ones very
eyes and rose to the ceiling.
we are dreaming" said Heinz,
rubbing his eyes.
No, that is a fable" said Hans,
delightedly; "a zeal fable, and we
are playing with it"
And the twig became stronger
and pushed out boughs and branch
es with leaves and blossoms.
The ceiling of the room disap-
peared, the walls softened away and
dusky forest surrounded the as
tonished boys.
"Forward" cried Hans, and
drew the resisting Heinz on, 'now
comes the adventure"
The blooming bushes parted and
made for the boys a path. The sun
shine cleaned brokenly through
the lattice roof of forest trees and
painted thousands Of golden eyes
upon the moss, and out of the moss
rose star flowers with brilliant col
ors, and crisp green tendrils wound
themselves around the moss grown
stems. Above, in the branches
nuttered singing birds in gay feath-
ers, deer and other animals sprang
gladly through the bushes.
Now the forest lighted itself be-
tween the trunks like freight.
Hans whispered to his companion,
"Now it's coming"
They stepped into a forest mead
ow in the middle of which stood a
lone tree; it was the wonder tree OF
which Hans had so often heard,
the tree with the golden leaves. The
BOYS stood motionless from surprise.
Then from behind the tree stepped
a dwarf not larger than q three
year-old child, not chubby and fiat
footed as dwarfs usually are, but
slender and neat-grown. He wore
a green mantel and a gold helmet;
the boys knew who stood before
them. The dwarf stepped forward
few PAGES and courteseyed. 1.-The
enchanted princess awaits you as
her deliverer," said he, (which OF
YOU will attempt the enterprise?'
a." said Hans with a glad voice.
Presently the dwarf led forth a
milk white steed with gold bits in
it's mouth.
Don't do it, Hans" warned
Heinz anxiously, but Hans was al
ready in the saddle Weighing and
rearing the magic horse threw back
his head and raced with flying name
into the wood, The shining gold
bug, however, flew ahead as guide

JURY SERVICE
Not Required with Twins in the
House Judge HoItc Excuses
n Finishing Parent.

CUMBERLAND, MD, Dec. Pits
pretty hard to be released from jury
service, but it seems that a West
Virginia citizen had an excuse that
went. Judge Hoke has been hold
ing court up at Parsons and has
rendered a decision and at the same
time established precedent in dis
charging Juror from duty.
Hon. q. w. Daley appearedsih
behalf of the Buxton and Land
street Co. to have G.. w. Elrick, a
petit juror, released from serving
in that capacity, on the plea that
his better half having presented
him with twins week ago, his ser
vices were needed in the domestic
circle. The Judge dismissed him,
at the same time ruling that in the
future all cases of a similar nature
on tho part oe jurors would be
promptly excused.
The decision caused no little
merriment in the court room, while
Mr.. Elrick glanced hastily at his
watch, and took his departure on
the first train for tho bosom of his
family at Thomas. Many other
jurors eager to be released from
duty, were not, however, SO fortu-
notrlv Situated.

The Pittsburg Post prints the
following, which may be of inter
est to Register readers:
Lost, straycd, stolen, disappear
ed, absquatulated, not visible to
the naked eye-"the advance agent
of prosperity" He was to have ar
rived in this country on the morn
ing of the 4th of November, and
with the lapse of month his alb
sence is painfully in evidence:
Missing with him is n revival of
confidence, an increase of wages,
enlarged demand for all products
for increased prices and general
prosperity, all of which were duly
guaranteed as certain to accompany
"the advance agent" Any infor
nation as to his whereabouts will
be thankfully received by Mark
Hanna, Cleveland"

that he had issued requisition
for Berins and Clark, the two men
charged with murder in connection
with the fued now going on in the

Governor MacCokle says he has
not issued any requisition for these
men, and no application has been
presented to him to do so.

ward M'Ananey, young mill
worker living in Reserve township,

Whether he committed suicide,

That if the truth were always

That it is exasperating enough

That the trouble with our hav-

they are gone.
That human nature shows to bet

That the difference between

That four girls in town take a

FoundDead.

The body of the man found dead
at 7-mile trestle, Just this side of
Huntington, on the Ohio River
Railroad, last Saturday, proved to
be that of James Compston, aged
about 90 years, an old river engin-
eer, who at one time resided in
Point Pleasant, and was we'll known
to many of our citizens. 1t is not
known whether he was killed by a
train or murdered, the latter seems
to the prevailing impression.
Farmers should remember that
right in our town is manufactured
the very best grade of drain tile,
from the largest to the smallest
used, and of the very best quality.
Those contemplating draining their
lands should put themselves in
communication with the Mountain
State Brick and Tile Company, of
this place.
The Camden Clay Company at
Spilman are pushing their Brick
Tile and Sewer Pipe works, and it
will not be long until the Compa-
ny will have their works in full op-
Grafton. The Company will invest
about $4,000 in buildings, ovens
and machinery at thatplace, and
will Egive employment to 100 or
more men.

is splendid man for the place,
and is fully able to perform the or
duous duties of this position, and
we would be for him, if it was not
for the fact that we understand that
Mr.. w. III. Howard, Chairman of
