A little boy had been naughty at din
ner and had been sent away from the
table Just as his favorlte desert--cabI-
net pudding, with butter and sugar
sauce-was being served, says the Chi
cago News. About 0 o'clock that eve
ming, when the other children had gone
to bed and his parents were alone IN
the sitting room, a tear-stained little
face and a whlte-robed figure appear
ed at the door. Mamma" 1t said
bravely, between sobs, you told me
never to 20 to sleep when anything
wrong had been done until 1t was fixed
up right so | came down to tell you
that-that-th at-I-forgive you and
papa for what you did to me at the din
ner table"

Perhaps the Fairmont Index is oply
joking when It says: 1.-The effect of the
Dlngley bill will be felt here after the
18th of this month, when the price of
hair-cutting will be advanced to 25
cents" There is no mark showing that
our gallant friend, Colonel Smith, meant
this as joke but he probably did so
mean 1t. The fact is that % cents has
for many years past been the regulation
charge for hair cutting in all first class
barber shops In the larger towns and all
the cities throughout the country. The
change at Falrmont simply means that,
In line with the growth and progress Of
that place. the BARRIERS are following the
wake OF other citizens OF the enterprslas
community and adopting metropolitan
ways. This is fact which the Index
which itself Is progressive, should hail
as a healthy indication.

Some very unjust criticisms of Gov.
Atkinson and Secretary of State Daw-
son. in connection with the delay in the
publication OF the Acts OF the late legis-
lature, have appeared in some of the
newspapers, particularly in the Wheel
ing evening paper. Had the critics con-
suited the law they would have seen
that neither the governor nor the secre-
tary have anything to do with the print
ing OF the Acts. The whole matter rests
with the printer and the clerk. An ex-
PLANTATION of the matter appears in a
Charleston special In this issue of the In
telllgencer. The printing commission
should investigate into the cause of the
delay.

Colonel McGraw, who is a candidate

been more consistent had he confined his

his brother professional agItators, with

October is the month that seems
All woven with midsummer dreams:
She brings for us the golden days
That fiji the air with smoky haze;
She brings for us the lisping breeze,
And wakes the gosslps In the trees,
Who whisper near the vacant nest,
Forsaken by Its feathered guest.
Now half the birds forget to sing
And half of them have taken wing,
Before their pathway shall be lost
Beneath the Eossamer OF frost.
Now one by one the gay leaves ay
ZIgzaE across the yellow sky;
They rustic hero and hutter there,
Until the bough hangs chill and bare.
What Joy for us-what happiness
Shall cheer the day, the night shall bless?
IT'S Halloween. the very last
Shall keep for us remembrance fast,
When every child shall duck the head
TO find the precious pippln red.
