Dissertations Of A Bachelor

Most women would like to be on
bowling acquaintance with the devil
if they didn't have to ask him to
call.
A girl never thinks that the man
she marries is going to be the kind
to wear his old coat around the house.
When girl gets married all the
women who don't like her begin to
watch for her bad traits to show in
her children.
When a woman hears that a man
she has met has done something bad
she will never admit that she didn't
expect it all along.
Very few women can preserve
their respect for their husbands
when they see them get ratified max
ing speech in public.
Anyway men don't steal each 9th
er's hatpins at an evening reception.
Most girls think married life is a
perpetual banquet, with no dishes to
wash.
When girl is twitted about be-
ing thrown down she says: "Oh, well,
you can't use man forever, you
know"
When neither one has good rea-
son, man generally appears shallow
by giving poor one; but a woman
always tries to seem deep by giving
none at all.
When a woman is first married
she wonders what takes the place of
marriage in heaven. After she's been
married few years she isn't partic-
ular what it is.
Love isn't what it's cracked up to be,
but loving is way beyond it.
A fad is something that makes the
man who has it happy and everybody
else mad.
When girl first gets engaged she
acts more patronizingly thana 3-year
widow with twins.
It's good sign when you hear girl
argue that woman can be just as hap
by 10 state OF celibacy.
When woman is saving up to buy a
new hat she can never see any use in
her husbands spending money to be-
long to club.

catarrh Canuot be Cured

with local applications, as they can
not reach the seat Of the disease. Ca
tarrh is blood or constitutional dis
ease, and In order to cure it you must
take internal remedies. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not
quack medicine. 1t was prescribed
by one of the best physicians in this
country for years, and is a regular pre-
scription. 1t is composed OF the best
tonics known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly on
the mucous surfaces. The perfect
combination of the two ingredients Is
what produces such wonderful results
in curing Catarrh. Send for testimo-

An Old Settler.

When the rheumatism first pre-
empts certain tracts of your anatomy
itmay be ousted easily, but when it
becomes an old settler it is pretty
hard to bulge. Remember this when
you experience the first twinges Of
this obstinate and agonizing disease,
and attack it with Hostetters Stom-
ach Bitters. 1t will then ssmake
tracks" and possibly leave you unmo-
Tested and in peaceable possession of
your own comfort In the future. Peril
always attends rheumatism, II it be-
come chronic, on account OF its ten
dency to attack the heart. Usually it
is that the kidneys, when aroused by
the Bitters, will eliminate impurities
which give rise to rheumatism and
dropsy. In inclement or wet weather
the Bitters, taken in advance, will
often avert rheumatic trouble. Use
this genial family medicine for dys-
pepsia, biliousness, headache and con-
stipation.

Senator Palmer is reported by the
Philadelphia Record as saying, "the
Democratic party of the future
would be composed of the sound
money wings Of the Republican and
Democratic parties" Such a party
may be formed in the future and
Senator Palmer, if he lives, may be
identified with it just as he has beer
but it will not be called the Demo
cratic party. The Democracy cast
six million votes in the last cam
paign, it has an organization in ev.
cry State, county, city, town and
election precinct in the United
States and it will be, as it always
has been and as it's name denotes
the party of the people.

Bethany College.

An effort is being made to induce
the Legislature to appropriate $2S, 900
towards paying off the Indebtedness
of Bethany College, and in payment
thereof it is proposed to allow each
county to send one student free to the
college. While that's a considerable
sum for this State in its weak financial
condition to pay, still there are those
who urge it in order to save the his
toric college.

Why Is 1t

If catarrh is a blood disease, as some
claim, that physicians frequently ad-
wise change Of air and climate to those
suffering? Catarrh Is climatic affec-
tion, and nothing but local remedy
or a change Of climate will cure It.
Ely's Cream Balm is so efficient as to
do away with the necessity of leaving
home and friends, causing instant re-
lief and is real cure of catarrh.

A new COMPANY
Organized at Pittsburg to Com
pete With
The Bell Telephone Company Tho New
Company is Composed Of Morgan
town and Pittsburg Capitalists.

The Pittsburg Commercial Ga.
zette has the following concerning 3
new telephone scheme, which
though more or less chlmerical
would be good thing if gotten
through:
There is to be new telephone
company formed and composed Of
Morgantown and Pittsburg capital
lists, with capital stock of SEQ, 600,
which will build trunk line from
this place to Pittsburg, with head
quarters in Pittsburg. The route
of the lines will be from this place
to Point Marion, New Geneva, Ma
sontown, McClellandtown, Uniontown
where there will be an exchange,
thence one line will go via Browns
vile and Monongahela City to
Pittsburg.
Another line from Uniontown to
Connellsville and branch down to
Pittsburg by way of the Baltimore d
Ohio road and another by way of the
Pennsylvania road All large towns
will have exchanges and will run
branches out to smaller towns. The
gas and coal fields will have ex-
changes.
"The company proposes to put the
very best long distance phones in
all offices, and the rates will be very
much lower than the Bell monopoly
rates. The rates from Morgantown
will be % cents for three minutes
talk. This company proposes to
make the rates as low as possible to
all points. The capital stock will be
increased as there,is demand for more
lines. This company has lots of cap
ital to back it and can make it inter
esting for new subscribers on ac-
count of the low rates for boxes,
which will likely be, for business
houses SIS, and for private houses
$12. This company will commence
work in the spring and push their
work through as soon as possible.
After the line is built through to
Pittsburgh with it's tributaries, it is
possible it will extend south from
here via Fairmont, Grafton, Clarks-
burg, Parkersburg, etc.
The company will be known as
the Pittsburg and West Virginia
long distance telephone company"

A scoURGE OF LA GRIPPE
Is Raging Everywhere, Devastating
City, Town aud Country Alike.

!
Nothing equal to it has ever been
known. We have had la grippe be-
fore in this country in several well de-
fined epidemics, but not as we are hav-
ing it now. Everybody, everywhere,
has it, has had it or is expecting to
have il. In every paper we read OF
it. Every one we meet speaks OF it..
Perhaps the worst feature about la
grippe is that it is almost sure to
leave consequences behind it which are
far worse than the original disease.
But IL could not have been otherwise
than that some things have been
learned, during these sieges with la
grippe. Untold thousands have learn
ed these things but still a greater
multitude perhaps have these things
yet to learn.
First, that Pe-ru-na taken before
each meal and at bed time will protect
any one from having la grippe. Sec
ond, that Pe-ru-na taken every hour
during the acute stage of la grippe
will shorten its duration and prevent
the long train Of disagrceable conse-
quences which follow the acute attack.
Third, that in cases where Pe-ru-na
has not been used during the acute
stage and the victim finds himself
dragging out miserable existence
from the damage to his system accom-
plished by la grippe, he has only to
take Pe-ru-1a according to the direc-
tions on the bottle to realize speedy
and complete cure. The explanation
of this is that la grippe is epidemic
catarrh. Pe-ru-na will cure catarrh
Of every variety and stage. Therefore
it will cure la grippe, which is simply
the epidemic variety of acute catarrh.
During such winter as this no one
should be without copy of DIR. Hart
mans latest book which treats fully
Of la grippe, acute catarrh, chronic ca
tarrh, coughs, colds, bronchitis, con-
sumption and all other climatic dis
eases of winter. Sent free to any adj
dress by The Pe-ru-na Drug Manufac-
turing Company, Columbus, Ohio.

If we could trace Dyspepsia to its
