Marrow Escape.

Last Saturday Mrs. Watson on
taking some medicine got the wrong

the fact took spoonful of carbolic
acid. Only the promptest action
saved her life and for some time 1t

to failure. She has now fully recov-
cred from the experience and is re-

The proposed process seems a novel
one. The slate and soapstone taken
from tbs mines at that place will be
ground up and made into brick and
tile, which for durability and excel
lence will surpass all others. There
is also large acreage of the finest
quality of fire clay on the Camden

Chairman Dawson to be Made Secretary
of Sfate.

1t has been given out semi-officially
that w. M. 0. Dawson, Chairman OF
the State Republican executive COM
mittee, is to be the Secretary of State
under Governor-elect Atkinson, and il
is not denied that this appointment
will go to Mr.. Dawson because of the
withdrawal of that gentlemen from
the gubernatorial candidacy early in
the campaign. Mr.. Dawson served
two terms in the State Senate and was
clerk of the West Virginia House OF
delegates. While very pronounced
partisan, he is well qualified to fill the
position to which he is to be appointed

so far prevented every team they
have met but one from scoring.
The news that the foot ball team
has disbanded is just now breaking
into the boiler plate newspapers
with good deal of earnestness. We
assure them that the team is very
much alive and ready for business.

Reading Matter for Boys Better Than 3
Generation Ago.

Reading Matter for Boys Better Than 3
Generation Ago.
A great deal has been said lately
about the reading of prenicious liter
ature by boys, but the book statistics
show that in this respect the world is
much better than it was generation
ago BLOOD and thunder" stories are
not SO numerous to-day as they were,
simply because the demand for them
has greatly diminished. In the old days
there seemed to be an idea that there
were but two kinds of books for boys to
choose from. On the one hand were the
trashy tales of adventure and on the
other hand the tame and unexciting
Sunday school, stories. A boys mind
Graves stirring action, and therefore it
is no wonder that between Dare Devil
Dick, the Terror of the Plains" and
Honest Samuel; or Virtue It's Own Re-
ward" he should choose the former.
But to-day the book marts are filled
with volumes which are sure to please
the youthful mind, while eXerting
naught but good influences. Boys of
to-day are reading good, wholesome
literature, without too much flavor of
the "blood and thunder" and yet not
insipid. William o. Stoddard, the we'll
known reviewer, and himself writer
of boys stories, notes the changing
taste and says: In better supply and
in steadily increasing demand are the
better class of historical stories. The
lists of our large houses for the past
season are worth looking at in reference
to this point. 1t is not enough to say
that parents and guardians do most of
the holiday buying. They know what
will be most acceptable to their own
young people, and that is what they
select. That, therefore, is what the in
telligent publisher provides most of next
