all the country round. and results have
justified their judgment. Huntington
claims n population of 10000 inhab!-
tnnts. This Is doing pretty well for n
town born In 1871, and which has had
to make Its way in the world. AS
Huntington believed in itself, It has
put Its stakes down deep. and though
II may not grow rapidly. 1t will grow
snlidly. With more age huntington
Will be stlll more impressive. Age

The other tales are woven on the
same plans, and are told in pure and
unobjcctIonablc English. One Of the
charms OF Mr.. Posts book Is the easy,
graceful style In which It Is written.
He locallzcs three or four OF his tales
by locating Eomc OF the scenes and ac-
tors in Wheeling. Clarksburg and Fair
mont. and an imaginary Gullmorc
county. And, by the way. there is no
sheriff in West Virginia that n read
this sketch without profit to himself
and ut the same time be pleasantly en-
t%crtaIncd during the time he devotcs
himself to its perusal. In fact. lie can
well afford to take a half hour out OF
his busiest day for that purpose. The
book is published by G. p. Putnam's
Sons, New York and London. and can
be found on the shelves OF Frank STAN
toms City Book Store. J. L. D.

Furandi" a close favOrltc. In the first
u murder Ia committed and the muir
derer IL caught red handed. He Is tried,
and the evidence Is so convincing that
the jury arc impatient to retire IN form
II verdict they have already decided
upon. But the prisoner goes free by the
Jury rendering the instructed verdict
Of tho court. Why? Because the body
OF the murdered was never
found. In the west the murderer
would have been lynched. In New York
the Judge, the jury and spectators were
certain that the prisoner had commit
ted the foulcst kind OF murder. But
where was "thc corpus drlccti?" II was
the law, and Is the law In New York
state, so what were they going To do
about u? The Ingenious feature Of
the case was the manner in which the
body OF the woman was made to dis
appear, md vanish into the vapOry air,
rs 1t were, and It would not be right to
forc'tall the reader by explaining 1t in
these columns.

said he wins going to vote for Bryan

borrowed II great deal of money to be
paid back In gold. lie was Il railroad
employee and did not think his COM

knew that under free coinage the conf

since 1t would have to take care OF It's

THE ELECTRIC SPIRIT.

With wild wings fettered ride the wires. Ny life finds issue in binding fires, Bright shapes are wrought by my nytns
 breath,
 But my touch is flame. and my kiss is death. Since man hath bound me with coil and chain, Nor sea nor space can hAs word restrain, 1 wind my circles of burning speed The round globe over to serve his need. Of warning winds am hing and lord; The storms come yielding my radiant sword laugh in light the swift strokes fly, The sullen thunders make slow reply. With mystic passion yearn from far To my secret home meath the northern star, And thence, on the vast black walls of night 1 fling great rays from my gates of light. Time fees before me. and nopOmay know My course from star to star go, For am life. In the utmost dark Gods touch enkindled my fervid spark. Think ye to know me. O ye who raise My torch of flame on the worlds highwaysf Ask him whose throne is the central light Of countless suns in their wheeling flight. With fierce strength fettered, I ride the wires. Prometheus spirits have tanned my fires, But God alone. in his chosen hour. Can free the force of my nameless power.
