Mrs Mary Ellen Lease begins her pulpit
career by calling the President Of the United
States "a Satan worshipper." She is using
the same means as Senator Tillman to at
tract attention. It should be remembered
that the office, if not the man, should COM
mand universal respect. The President Of
the United States is the chosen chief of the
greatest Republic on earth, and no matter
what differences of opinion there may be
as to Mr.. Cleveland, there should be but one
as to this cheap denunciation Of the Presi-
dent. and that one condemnation.

the proposition to hold a Democratic pri-
mary in West Virginia for the nomination
Of candidates for State Offices. "The ques-

not who wants the several offices, bat who,
in the aggregate judgment of the accredited
representatives Of the party, sent Immediate
ly from the people, would be the strongest
candidates for the respective Offices for which
they would be nominated" Senator Faux

keep up some sharp firing at each other in
their weekly issues. It strikes me the for
mer is a skilled marksman, hitting the bulls
eye every shot" Referring to the numer-
Gus calls recently upon Rev J. P. Stump to
serve in other pulpits than his own, he says
"I sorter think the Methodists here have the
most popular man in all the range" He
also. in his interesting letter, tells why Rev.
Mr.. Cole, Of the Baptist Church, is the
happiest man in Charles Town" He also
commends Mr.. Carroll, of the Carter House
bar for his strict observance of the Sunday
laws regarding his business, and also for
attending church with his good Presbyterian
wife. He might have gone farther and
named Others in that business who go to
church with their wives and also put seals
to their business house doors on the Sabbath
seals that are unbroken when Monday
morning dawns.

Elk United States Senator Henry G. Da-
Wis, of West Virginia, in New York last
week is quoted as saying 81 think that we
are going to have better times, but in some
instances there is desire to jack things up
too quickly. The ultimate result of the
bond sales will be good, but matters have
not taken sufficiently definite turn yet for
us to look for rainbows or build castles in
the air. Railroad earnings, however, are
lettering, and the iron trade, which Is the
index to all, is fourishing, prices increasing
and the demand good. We may assume
that the industrial future is to be bright"

children use to determine the important
question of who is to be ''it."
Pretty soon all were counted out with
the exception of one of the girls whose
back was burdened by a chunky baby
brother She did not seem to mind this at
all, however, for merry laugh burst from
her lips as she allowed her eyes to be
bound with the handkerchief.
Oh. thought the lady, they are really
going to play blindman's- just the
same as little white girls and boys do, as
she slipped to a sheltered nook, from
which she might enjoy watching without
disturbing them.
The leader, after perching himself on a
rock, took from his pocket small har-
monica, on which he played sweet tunes.
while the others entered heartily into the
dear old game, keeping time to the music
with prancing feet, waving hands and
merry voices as they lodged the blind
mans clutches
And thus these little ones played-one
after another being blindfolded-untila a
discordant voice from the village called
them back to work, for the children IN
these fishing villages are able to help their
parents great deal in the drying and
packing of fish for the Chinese market.
During the happy hour of play there
were no pouty looks; not one cross word
was uttered, nor one objection raised to
being 'it," and now when the fun was
