Why Cat Lights on His Feet.

An experimental recently under.
took to discover why cat invaria-
bly, fell on its feet. He finds that q
cat always falls on its feet provid.
ing it has distance of a yard to
fall in and enable it to make half
turn in the air so as to get its feet
undermost. 1t holds its paws YER
tically and manages to preserve this
position during the rest of its fall,
in spite of the initial movement of
rotation taken by its body. The
mechanical explanation is simply that
the animal, by thrusting forward its
left limb, shifts the center ofgravity
of the whole body so as to make it
reyolve upon the axis of the spine
until the feet reach the ground.
Moreover a cat does not burt itself
by fall from height, because
the structure Of cats back and
spine is extremely flexible. The
muscles of its legs are extraordin-
airy strong and numerous. and, fur
ther, it has elastic pads or cushions
consisting of mass of fibrous It's
sue and fat on all its feet, seven in
each forepaw and five in each hind

An Extra Session.

New YORK, Nov. 9.-Chairman
Hanna expects to meet Mr.. McKin-
ley in Cleveland this week, and they
will talk over matters confronting
the incoming administration. Mr..
Hanna says the President-elect feels
that he owes much to the sound
money Democrats, and that Indiana
was unquestionably carried by their
votes. Major Mckinley, he says,
will endeavor to see collected great
national party that will give pros
perity to the country, and expects
and hopes that men of all shades of
former political belief will be united
to this end. The first movement he
will make will be to obtain sufficient
revenue to conduct the Government.
To this end an extra session OF Con-
gress will be necessary, and Presi-
dent Mckinley will undoubtedly call
one soon after his Inauguration.

The Berkeley Springs Lease.

BERKELEY SPRINGS, W. VA, Nov.
9.-Romanus Hunter, of Berkeley
Springs, and John Henshaw, of Mar
tinsburg, who were elected to the
Legislature in the seventh district
of West Virginia, on the Republi-
can and sound money Democratic
tickets, made their canvass in favor
of leasing the Berkeley Springs, and
out of a total vote of 1925 in Nor
gan county they had 712 and 719
majority, respectively. The lease
question almost overshadowed ma
tional issues and the lease advocates
are delighted over the very large
vote the project received, despite
warm opposition. The approaching
Legislature is expected to take de-
cisive action on the question, which
was before the last Legislature, but
failed to pass o fter stubborn fight.
The purpose is to lease the springs,
which are state property, to syndi-
cate which will spend several hun
dred thousand dollars in improve
ments.
The proposition to erect an iron
bridge over the Cacapon river, near
Great Cacapon, Morgan county, W.
Va, to cost about $4,000, was vot-
ed upon in the county last Tuesday
and defeated by AIT majority. A
solid vote of l73 against the project
was cast at Paw-Paw, in the same
district.

He Was Looking Bored.

The giant OF the forest, a. gnarled
and rugged oak, lay in the sluice-
way. A sharp eddy sent him swirl
ing into the pool and a moment
later he was in an atmosphere of
sawdust.
Above him The Oak saw keen,
round thing, sharp as scimitar and
glistening as Mameluke shield. 1t
was the buzz saw.
The buzz saw tore the heart of a
mighty elm and strewed the floor
with bark clad slabs.
Then, as the victim is lifted to
the guillotine, reclined "The OAK
in the iron cradle, and as by an in
fernal device pushed the forest
giant inch by inch to his doom.
The buzz saw looked for a mo-
ment at the helpless monster /:
"Dost say that buzz too much p
said the instrument. ain case /
should sin. It's likely that this will
be the last ot you Is there any
thing you wish me to say to any
friends of yours who might happen
along 2"
Just tell them that you saw me-
sighed The Oak, "and was looking
board"
There was a whirr of steel, a
shower of sawdust, and all was over.

THE LOST CAMEL.

A dervish travelling alone in the
desert, met two merchants, to whom
he said: "You have lost a camel.'
"Indeed we have" they replied. He
then said: "He was blind in his
right eye, he was lame in his left leg,
had lost front tooth, and was load
ed with honey on the one side and
corn on the other.' To all these
descriptions the merchants assented,
and said that as he must have seen
it, he could probably conduct them
unto it. "My friends" said the der

they were about to proceed against
him as sorcerer, when the dervish
with great calmness thus addressed
the court: 81 have lived long and

The pain that sometimes strikes a
man at the most lnopportune mo-
ment is due to indigestion. 1t may
come in the midst OF dinner and
make the feast mockery. 1t is a
reminder that he may not eat what
he chooses, nor when he chooses.
He is slave to the weakness of his
stomach. A mans health an d
strength depend upon what he gets
out of his food. This depends on
his digestion. Remove the obstruc-
tion by taking DR.. Plerce's Pleasant
Pellets. They are a positive cure
for constipation and its attendant
ills-headaches, sour stomach, flatu-
lence, dizziness, biliousness II d
heartburn The Pellets are
very gentle in their action. They
simply assist nature. They give no
violent wrench to the system. They
cause no pain, nor gripping.

JOSEPH GREENS nuMoR.

He was a graduate of Harvard
College in 1926. He was somewhat
celebrated in his day as q poet, and
was often applied to to furnish odes,
epitaphs, on all sorts of occasions.
1t is related of him that on one oc-
casion rather verdant specimen OF
humanity came to him and requested
an epitaph on man who died in his
service. Green said, in order to do
so, be must know something about
the character of the man ; but all he
could learn was that the deceased
beat everybody but himself in rak-
ing hay. The poet having a vein
of humor and satire in his nature,
Immediately took his pen and wrote:
"He could rake hay,
None could rake faster,
Except the raking dog

What the Shakers of Mount Leb.
anon know moro about than any
body else, is the use of herbs and
how to be healthy.
They have studied the power of
food. They nearly all live to
ripe old age.
The Shaker Digestive Cordial is
prepared by the Shakers from herbs
and plants with special tonic power
over the stomach.
1t helps the stomach digest it's
food, and digested food is the
strength-maker.
Strong muscles, strong body,
strong brain, all come from properly
digested food.
A sick stomach can be cured and
digestion made easy by Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial.
1t cures the nausea, loss of appe-
tite, pain in the stomach, headache,
giddiness, weakness and all other
symptoms of Indigestion, certainly
and permanently.

Bryan's Chance TO Study.

Ex-candidate Bryan will have
time now to give a little attention
to the history of his country. Per-
haps he may get some new light on
matters which have been hitherto
clothed in darkness for him. It will
not take very exhaustive study for
him to learn that all the greatness of
this country has been achieved, and
its wealth accumulated, all it's prog
ress made under a Protective Tariff.
That the only halts it has made in
its progress in times of peace have
been made during temporary re-
lapse of the people to the Free Trade
delusion. We hope that if Mr.. Bry-
an should follow our suggestion and
should give little study to Ameri.
can history, he will become as warm
