MILITARY EDUCATION FOR GIRLS.

According TO the esteemed Washing
ton Post the war feeling has broken out
strong among the college girls. y 1t
started some time ago. so it is said, and
has been growing ever since. AS an in
stance our contemporary cites the fact
that within the last few days the young
women of seminary in Massachusetts
have given evidence of great proficiency
in the manual of arms, in marching, and
in company with battalion movements.
They are equipped with real, not toy,
guns. and with all the accoutrements Of
infantry in the regular army. They
have the army blouse and cap, and are
otherwise dressed in manner calcu-
lated to facilitate motion without Of
Tending against modesty. We are as
sured that this school is not the only
one; that there are others, and quite a
number OF them. where the young lady
pupils are thus organized and drilled.
They are simply superb at marching,
and they are loudly praised for their
precision and accuracy in loading and
firing
Thus We see that while the boys have
been less and less inclined toward KNAPP
sack. box and gun, and have not been
nursing the war feeling" nor th;rsting
for gore, the girls have rushed in the
opposite direction. Instead Of exhibit
ing their skill and taste in music, draw
ing and painting, as is customary on
commencement. day. they are ordered
out in baJtalions to fight sham battles.
en- such things be and not move the
good people who made the mistake
abou, the boys to rise up and cry aloud
for the rescue Of the girls from the war
spirit?" Think of the coming genera
ton with wives and mothers booted and
spurred

WENT BATHING.

But Their Suits Were Not Large
Enough and So They Were Miser-
able.
know to two young girls who had
very stylish and scant bathing suits
made last summer.
They designed them from those worn
by the seaside nymphs of the Sunday
papers, and supposed that they were
all correct.
They donned them with much shame
faced laughter, and, when attired for
tho sea, one of the girls said:
Mercy, Matte! | hope | don't look
as naked as you dov'
well, if | look as bad as you do 1
won't stir a step"'
Then they opened the bathhouse door
a little ways and peeped out.
"There are not many bathing"
Bathing? No! But upon the sand
there's about thousand people whom
We can't see"
"Oh, let's call the bathing master and
get other suits"
but in vain.
ooh. dear! What'll we do? I'm just
dying to g;t into that lovely, cool
waterw
so am I. Don't you see any dresses
like ours?"
mo. Yes. yes. There's three young
girls just going in. Their bathing suits
are scantier than ours.
That's so. Come on!
And away they dashed like young
Dianas.
But when they reached the water
they found that the three young gir,s'
were young men, stout and curly-head-
ed. while all the women in sight had on
'high-neck and long-slesved" suits.
so they submerged themselves as
much as they could, feeling that hun
dreds of eyes and dozens Of marine
glasses were focused upon them.
oh what idiots we are, Matte! How
will we ever get ashore?'
Il shall stay here till it's dark.
hope there's nobody here who knows
u.s.
Just then they saw the copper-colored
''lif5-saver" approaching them, and
they became almost frantic.
Matte, he's going to order us off the
beach, o, l shall die. Let's run!
And run they did to the bathhouse,
with little gasps of terror, and as soon
as they were dressed flew back to New
York.
The "life-saver" had simply intend
ed to warn them against the undertow,
but their fear of something else did
them no harm, dare say.-New York

THE SQUIRRELS ROAD.

IL ziSZaSs through the pastures brown,
Ana CLIMBS old Pine Hill to its crown,

IN hollows of its messy top

W ale mere and there, aloft, is seen
timid, waving plume of green.
Mnere some shy seed has taken hold,

Mltn corn and mast between his lips,
Glides in and out, from rail to rail.

With many nod and queer grimace.

Or scurrles like a frightened thief,
At shadow CT a failing leaf.
All day long his fence-top road
He bears his harvest. load 10y load
The acorn with its little hat.
The butternut, egg-shaped and fat,
The farmers corn from shock and vain,
Cheek-pouches-full of lesser grain,
Three-cornered beech-nTts, thin of shell,
The chestnut, buried and armored well,
And walnuts with their tight green coats
Close buttoned round their slender threats
A busy little workman he.
Who loves his task, yet labors free,
Stops when he wills to frisk and bark,
And never drudges after dark!
I love TO hear his chirring cry,
When rosy sunrise stains the sky,
And see him flashing TO his toll
While early frost encrusts the soil.
With tail above his back, ne sails
Along the angles Of the rails,
Content to gain two rods in three,
And have sure high way from his tree.
Dear is the old-time squirrel-way
Paved with its moss and lichens gray
The struggling fence that girds the hill
And wanders through the pine woods still
I loved 1t in my boyhood time,
| love IT in my manhoOd's prime;
| fain would go to-day and lie,
And watch the squirrel ZigZag by.

Mrs. Rhode Noah, of this place, was
taken in the night with cramping pains
and the next day diarrhoea set in. She
took half a bottle of blackberry cordial
but got no relief. She then sent to me
TO see if l had anything that would help
her. l sent her bottle of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera aud Diarrhoea
Remedy and the frs dose relieved her.
Another of our neighbOrs had been sick
for about a week and had tried diff
ferent remedies for diarrhoea but kept
getting worse. sent him this same
remedy. Only four doses of it were re-
quired to cure him. II says he owes
his recovery TO this wonderful remedy.

The fire started in a blacksmith shop just

damaged. The carriage shop ana resi-
dence of Presley Cox were destroyed. An
old frame house of l.. j. Stewart was

sided.

first, that the Register charged less than
the regular commercial rate 10 the coun-
" for its advertisement, and, second,
that the Registers bid was accepted and
the contract made according TO law.
The Intelligencer would have charged
the same price or more, if it had adhered
to it's card rate-maybe little less, be-
cause the publicity of its columns is
worth less to advertisers.
The Intelhgencer is notorious as a cut

cal would-be boss in the editorial cock
loft will whistle down TO the business

formation on this point that will inter-
est him and save him from causing the
exposition Of business methods in the
InteIigencer's management which the
said management would rather not have
exposed.
We have no hesiyancy in endorsing
the InCelligencer's implied statement
that space in its columns costs less than
the same space in the Registers col
umns. On ordinary commercial adver-
Using the Register and Intelligencer
have made an agreement as to the rate.
As we have stated it is notorious that

neighbor the benefit of this free adver-

quently advertisements are refused by
the Register, which invariably main
eains the commercial rate. which after
wards appear in the columns OF the In
telligencer, which has much smaller
circulation and is consequently without
attraction TO advertisers except for the
low rates at which il is willing to sell
its space to Tom. Dick and Harry.
For this reason advertisers can never
depend upon it, It has very slippery
sliding scale. L sizes its man up" and
charges him what it thinks he will
stand. Il charges one man one price
and another man another price.
The Register charges every CONNER
cial advertiser the same price for the
space he occupies, and it is very fire.
quenly the case, as we have said, that
advertisers pay much more TO the Reg
lister than they pay for the same ads"
in the Intelligencer.
The average advertiser has a very
clear idea of the value of the medium
through which he presents his wares to
the public. and is not easily fooled He
knows. also. that the Register. while
having by long odds the largest circula-
ton in the city, is the only paper that
has anything like an extensive circula-
lion outside the city-through Ohio and
West Virginia. In fact the Register is
the only paper in Wheeling that makes
,wo morning editions IN order to catch
the earlier mails and serve its customers
throughout the STATE and Eastern Ohio.
Advertisers know these facts and that
is the reason they are willing 10 pay
more for space in the Register than they
are willing 10 pay for the same amount
Of space in the Intellgencer.
And this is what worries our envious
neighbor and leads it to do and say
things which it ought to be ashamed OF.
