He then fastened another rope In the
same fashion to q similar tree on the

now dangling down, and waited with
some curiosity and just little trepida-
ton to see what they would do next.
The whole band pulled upon one of the
ropes until they had bent the strong
young tree down into semi-circle,
and they then fastened 1t to stump,
so as to hold it so. When they had
bent the other tree down in a similar

case, colonel, we may have a souvenir

One of the most encouraging features
ola cure made by SIS. (Swift's Specific)
Is its permanency. Ofall diseases. it is
well known that those of the blood are
the most obstinate, and therefore the
most difficult to cure. The medical
profession, in fact, have virtually adj
mitted that real, deepseated blood
disease is beyond their skill.
Of course, their admission Is not made
in so many words, but actions speak
louder than words, and their inability to
cure, after months and often years of
treatment, is sufficient evidence that dis
eases of the blood cannot be cured by
doctors. Their mercurial mixtures, al
though taken faithfully. only coverup
the symptoms of the disea z, inducing
the patient to feel that he is being cured;
but when he is sooner or later seized
with stiff joints, pain in the bones, etc.,
the evidence of the doctors patchwork
is conclusive. Such results cannot be ex-
pected from the use of S. S. S. Being
purely vegetable, containing no harm
full mineral ingredients, 1t is the only
blood remedy which acts on the true
principle OF forcing the disease from
the system, building up rather than
tearing down the health. No loss of
hair, no stiff joints, no decrepit mercu-
rial wrecks result from the use OF S.S.S.

Go to Dauphin County, Young man.


There is township in Dauphin
county in which there are 254 in
habitants, according to the census,
and so voters. In that township
there is no minister, no church, no
Sunday school, no lawyer, no justice
of the peace, no industrial work of
any kind, and no place where liquor
is sold. There are three grocery
stores and one school house. When
the people want to attend church
they have to cross the river to Perry
county and walk to Duncannon.
The township is Reed. There has
been. but one case in the criminal
court from that township in the past
25 years. There is not another town
ship like it in the whole United
States. --AHoond Gazette.

tary Public and Afterward Aseertains
That He Was Imposed Upon-The
Women Who Hold once in West yir-
ginia.
Governor Atkinson, few DAYS
ago, commissioned Miss L. d. Bur
ney, of Wheeling, a notary public
under the impression that she was a
man. The Governor last week re-
ceived letter from John B. Wilson,
prominent lawyer of Wheeling,
and formerly member of the legis
lature, requesting the Governor to
appoint L. D. Burney notary pub
lie. The Governor, on the recon-
mendation of Mr.. Wilson, thinking
of course that L. ID. Burney was
male citizen, caused a commission
to be issued. The commission was
sent to L. ID. Burney and she at once
qualified and proceeded to exercise
the functions Of her office.
The attention of Governor Akin
son was called to the fact, and he
about the same time received let
ter from Mr.. Wilson, stating that he
had not intended to impose upon the
Chief Executive, but that he was
under the impression that woman
could hold the office of notary pub
lie under the law. The Governor
requested the return of the commits
sion at once and it has since been re-
ceived at the office of the secretary
of state and cancelled.
This is not the only time woman
has been appointed to an Office in
West Virginia. A woman once held
a commission as member of the
staff of Governor MacCorkle. OF
course she did not hold it long after
the Governor found it out.
There have been women appointed
to office in West Virginia, however,
who are now holding them and ex-
ercising their functions.
The last legislature passed two
bills, one establishing an industrial
school for girls and another estab-
fishing home for incurables. The
statutes creating those State insti-
tutions provided that the board of
directors OF each should be composed
one half of men and the other half of
women. The acts are clearly uncon-
stitutional, because of the section
providing for the appointment of
women as members of the boards of
directors. Section one of article
four of the constitution reads: "The
male citizens of the State shall he
entitled to vote at all elections" etc
and section four of article four
reads, mo person except citizens en-
titled to vote shall be elected or ap-
pointed to any State, county or mu
nicipal Office
Whether the sections in the acts
referred to providing for the ap-
pointment of women as members of
of the boards of directors, were put
in deliberately or by error, it is now
useless to discuss The fact that
the clause in each of these acts pro
viding for the appointmentof women
is unconstitutional is generally rec
ognized, and if the matter were tax
en- into the courts the women would
have TO go. Gov. Atkinson appoint
ed these women under protest, recog
nizing the fact that there was no
authority in law for it.
1t viii be safe to assume that the
Governor will never appoint another
notary unless, in each case, some
one is willing to vouch for the fact
that the applicant is man.
