SMALL ILLS.
The Power 10 Endure Them May BE
Cultivated.

The Power TO Endure Them May BE
Cultivated.
1t is often easier to bear great sor-
now than to endure small ills and re-
main of even, sweet disposition. The
old simile that drops of water wear into
the solid rock is certainly an apt one.
1t is easy to steel ones nerves and fight
fravely fortune that is adverse if there
is a chance of an honorable victory. The
bravest knight, however, may be over
come by gnats.
1t is the misfortune of women to be
more delicate in their nervous structure
than men, and to be more often the vic
tins of petty annoyances such as rasp
the nerves and temper. 1t is peculiarly
woman duty to attend to minutiae.
Housekeeping demands strict attention
to small things If the housekeeper has
trouble in her work it is a petty matter
to talk Of 1t comes from the petulance
of servants, the failure of the yeast
perhaps to rise, or the stupidity of some
one who has left the oven door open and
upset all her plans for dinner. Some
one, perhaps, has carelessly stopped the
plumbing, and large bill is incurred
from this source, which makes it i'm
possible for her to buy a much-needed
winter bonnet for herself, or new coats
for the children. The matters essential
to health come first, and at any cost the
water pipes must be repaired.
1t is just such petty things as we have
named which wear woman's patience
out and sometimes make, the middle
aged woman a hopeless scold or a nerv-
Gus invalid, when she should be placid
even-tempered, happy woman. The
| power to endure small ills, however,
can be cultivated, 1t is an easy matter
at the beginning of life to look upon
things philosophically and check the
frown or hasty word which rises to the
lips. If mother would only remember
that her whole future happiness de-
pends upon the restraint she exercises
on such occasions it would save her.
More than her own happiness, the hap
piness of her own children and that of
all who love her depend upon it. 1t is
an effort that she must make at what
ever cost. The habit of self-restraing
ana selI-repreSslon grows upon one who
practices it. Finally it become second
nature to speak a gentle word instead Of
"a fretful one when an annoying blum,
der occurs. A word fifty spoken with
out temper will do more to prevent an
other blunder than all the sharp ut
terances of anger
Unhappy fretfulness also grows Will
|, the indulgence in the habit unit
the person becomes an unbearable com
panion and sometimes drives all hel
friends from her. This vice is by NJ
means limited to women. We hav,
: known men who We're chronic scoid
and who rendered their homes and office
: abodes of misery by fretting over small
matters, though this is not often mas
culine fault.--N. Y. Tribune.

The celebration of the anniversa-
ry of Odd Fellowship on the 26 inst.
brings to mind some interesting sta
tistics of that order: There are
eight hundred thousand of them in
the United States,--a sixteenth OF
the entire adult population, and Mon
day the seventy eighth anniyersa-
ry of the founding Of the Indepen-
dent Order. 1t was ON April 20,
1919, that Thomas Wildey a young
English mechanic, with few others
like-minded, brought into existence
in Baltimore, Washington Lodge No.
|. From that small beginning have
grown the thousands of lodges now
existing in the United States, to-
gether with the Rebekah lodges, the
women members of which number
nearly a quarter of million. The
present value of real estate held by
the order is over seventeen millions of
dollars, the aggregate rents received
are three-quarters of million, and
in benefits and aid to members the
Order expends over three and one
half million dollars a year. Last
year the revenues Of the Order were
eight and one-half millions.
The Order has numbered in its
membership some of the most dis
tinguished men in American history.
The late presidents Grants, Hayes
and Garfield, were Odd Fellows; SO
was the late Vice President Colfax.
Former President Harrison is an
Odd Fellow, and SO is Secretary OF
State John Sherman.

Mr.. Bryan's Ringing Words.

Nothing in the eloquent address
made by Mr.. Bryan at the Jefferson
birthday banquet, gathering Of
Democrats that will not soon be for
gotten, was more important or sig
nificant than the following words;
1.-The position taken by the Demo
cratic party in 1896 will not be sur
rendered. If you doubt the perma-
nency Of the Chicago platform as a
party creed, go among the rank and
file of the party and measure the
zeal and enthusiasm which that
platform has aroused, and you will
realize the impossibility Of taking a
backward step. True, the present
administration is seeking to turn
public attention to the tariff ques.
tion, but if reasoning is we'll found
ed, an increase of taxes cannot re-
store prosperity to the producers Of
wealth. In fact we contend that
neither high taxation nor low taxa
tion can bring prosperity te
the people, so long as an
appreciating dollar continues te
give the money owner an advantage
over the rest Of people. The money
must be the paramount issue of the
next campaign, as it was of the last
If the Dingley bill brings genuine
and permanent prosperity, the Dem
ocratic party will not be in a posi-

The Right Notion.

There seems to be a greater differ
ernce of opinion among Democrats
as to the attitude the party should
asfume toward those of the brethren
who failed to support Mr.. Bryan
last fall. Some hot-heads, whose
zeal is greater than their discretion,
denounce the "deserters' and say
they ought not to be allowed to re-
turn to the ranks under any condi-
ton. Others, little more tolerant,
would permit the Gold Democrats
to come back upon Bonded knee and
with fearful, repentant sapplica-
lions. We must confess that we
haven't much patience with either
of the above classes. We did not
then, nor do we now, approve of the
action of those who bolted the Dem
ocratic nominees. We do not think
the regular Democracy is called up
on now or that it ought in the fu-
ture to go very far into the desert to
hunt up the lost sheep. But we do
believe that every prodigal ought to
be given a welcome when he returns
of his own accord. 1t is quite like
| w that the Democrats will need ev-
cry vote that they can get during
the next campaign, and it is sense
less to reject any source of strength.
A very large proportion of those who
left the party last year were men OF
standing and intelligence, and they
were influenced in their action by
perfectly sincere and honorable mo-
tives. Their withdrawal was an I'M
deniable loss, and their return will
be a corresponding gain. So far as
we are concerned, both from inclina-
tion and policy, we are ready to give
them an earnest welcome back to
the fold, indulging the hope they
will never do it again. Let the De
mocracy open it's arms wide and take
in all who want to come toit.
While the lamp holds out to burn
The vilest sinner may return.

Law to Death.
HUNTINGDON, w. VA. April "a
Later particulars Of the tragedy near
Fudge's postoffice reveals an awful
affair.
1t is reported that Mrs. Charley
Reynolds went to the home OF her
mother-in-law, Jane Reynolds, who
resides about one mile from Judges
Greek postoffice, Sunday evening, and
deliberately murdered her, by chop
ping her head of with an ak.
Young Reynolds and his wife have
not been getting along very well late
ly, and were not living together.
They had two children, who were
being kept by Charley's mother.
Sunday, the report says, Charley's
wife went to see the children and the
old lady seeing her approaching, told
her she could not come into the house,
and closed the door and locked it.
Charley's wife became wild with an
ger, and finding an ak, chopped down
the door, and entering the house, dealt
the old lady deadly blow, felled her
to the floor, and afterwards decapita-
ted her with the weapon.
The younger Reynolds woman is a
daughter Of Nivick Mayes, who resides
on Guyandotte river, above Barbours-
vile, and is niece Of the wife OF
Charley M. Ebeling, who was sent to
the penitentiary many years ago un-
der the charge Of numbering her hus-
band. She is also a niece of Joseph
Mayes, who was killed by John Love,
on Saunders Creek, a year ago.

Award Of Viewers sent to Washington

The papers filed in the condemna-
tion proceedings against the Monon.
gahela navigation company were sent
to Washington on Monday through
the district attorneys office. They &c
first to the attorney general, and after
he has passed upon them they will be
sent to the secretary of war. Secre-
tary Alger will examine them and
then place them in the hands CT Gen
eral John Wilson, chief Of the engi-
neering division. After General Will
son has approved of them they &c
back to the secretary of war, who, in
his discretion, will issue his warrant
for the amount awarded.
1t is thought there will be no great
delay in the proceedings. Rivermen
believe that the facts of the case are
already well known to the secretary
of war, and that he will push the
matter through as quickly as possible.
But there will be some delay, even af
ter the final approval of the award.
All the the titles must be examined,
and the affairs of the navigation COM
pany settled up.

RUSSIA'S TRIUMPH



Element Of Eastern Crisis.
New YORK, April 27.-A dispatch
to the Journal from Berlin, says: The
Tagerblatt announces that a definite
agreement has been reached between
Russia and Austria.
The terms Of the agreement, it is
said, are that the sultan shall re-
nounce Crete; that the car shall he
given coaling station at Suda Bay in
that island and that in return Russia
shall guarantee the integrity OF Tur-
key.
The advantage Of this arrangement
to the nations interested is obvious
Russia, in command Of one Of the
most important ports OF Crete, will
be greatly strengthened In the line
of her coveted advance toward the
south.
Turkey, with the formidable power
of the white car behind her, will have
secured almost beyond the possibility
of disaster position from which she
can rule her troublesome subjects with
out fear of revolt encouraged by the
hope of foreign interference. She
would be more than willing that Rus
sia should assume such q sort OF pro-
tectorate over her empire. To this
agreement Austria, France and Ger
many will, it is understood, give their
consent. England alone has not made
known her views on this question. In
the best informed quarters, however,
it is believed that very strong pro-
test will be certain to come from the
court Of st. James.
Emperor Williams share in the pro-
posed arrangement has been consider
able. Then at Vienna he acted as an
intermediary between Russia and Aus
tria.
Not the least Of tho results OF his
mediation will be the approaching
trip Of Emperor Francis Joseph d
Austria to St. Petersburg. Among
| diplomats this visit will have = deter
mining influence upon the settlement
OF the eastern crisis.

Our people were very much surpris-
cd last week to learn that L. NJ Wade
OF Sutton, has been indicted by the
grand jury Of Kanawha county for for
gerry. We have not learned the exact
facts, except that the Indictment re-
suited from some checks sent to the
Sutton bank last year, which were pro-
tested. 1t is a fact that just before
Wade went To Charleston last August
he sold a lot of lumber or land to a
certain man of this place for three
or four hundred dollars. After Wade
got to Charleston he suddenly and
rather Unexpectedly immersed himself
In politics for Wade's sake. He
needed about $500 for expenses and
incidentals and got money from his
friends by giving checks on the Sutton
bank, supposing the $500 weuld be at
his command by the time the checks
got in. When he drew the checks he
wrote the business man referred to of
his action and asked him to protect the
checks. After Wade left the man
concluded he didn't want the lumber,
and in this way Wade's checks went
to protest. or course this was shock
to the holders Of the checks, but
Wade has paid all except about $50,
as we learn. The above recital OF
facts can be substantiated, and any
man of sense, without prejudice, will
readily see how any one might get into
similar trouble at the same time be
prompted by no wrong motive. All
this happened eight months ago, and
it is just a little strange thegrand jury
did not hear of it before. We strongly
suspect that some sssnake in the
grass" has interested himself in down
ing Wade. About the time the an
nouncement of the Indictment was
made Wade was in Washington seeing
after a job under Uncle Sam, and he
was almost certain of good position.
II he does not get it, Wade's enemies
will then rejoice at the success OF
their scheme. Most men have ene-
mies-we might say all men-Wade
has his. Politically speaking, Wade
has lots Of them in this Democratic
county Of Braxton, which gave Bryan
1856 majority. But they are better
friends to Wade in a personal sense
than some of his Republican brethren
of inflated Importance and appropri-
ated political sagacity. Braxton

who Pay the Taxes?

In these days, when the people
are beginning to protest SO loudly
against the control which plutocra-
cy exercises over legislation, the ia
vored parties are wont to reply some
what as follows:
"Do we not pay the taxes? Is it
not right we should get something
back? We are the solid part of the
body polite; but for us where would
the rest of the people be? But as a
matter of fact it is not the plutocra-
cy which pays the taxes. The mem
bers of the plutocracy are adopts at
the master art of tax lodging. If
they do not understand the finesse
they can find lawyers that do. Law
yers become rich by helping the
rich to become richer. Why, if the
rich men of this country paid taxes
as provided by law on their proper
ty the treasures of every city and
town in the land would burst with
their fullness; the small property
owners would experience a relief
which would seem almost miracu-
lous. Itwould be miracle of grace,
indeed, which would touch the
hearts of the owners of thirds
of the property of the United States,
but do not pay one-tenth of the tax
es.
The principal part of the taxes
paid by individuals are furnished by
the owners of inexpensive homes,
and of small mercantile and manu-
featuring property. The assessor
can easily discover their holding 8
and estimate their valuation. Not
so in the case of stockholders in
great corporations, not 10 with
the payee Of notes, OF the l,ossessor
| of bonds which mount high in
amount. The rich man seldom pays
half his share of the general taxa
tion. tits seldom that legislature
meets in any State that some meas
ure is not introduced with the intent
to meet this great wrong and correct
it. Such measures are only born to
die. Lobbyists are salaried to work
against such bills, brides are fur
nished to the Legislators whose
hands are open, legal opinions are
furnished to order as 10 the imagi-
nary flaws in the measures. As a
last resort it is seldom that court
cannot be found to adjudge them
unconstitutional il q governor will
veto them. II some patriotic statis-
tician would but give Us . table show
