This from the charfss,on Gazette. the
Democratic authority of the Kanawha
valley Is amusing. considering the
source: 1.-THE office is the thing, among
our patriotic Republican brethren"
This IS reminder from an authoritative
source that nobody but Republican,
cares a snap for Offices. A Democrat
would not take one II 1t were given him
free and without contest. The NUM-
Der Of Democrats in West Virginia who
are standing around with full inten-
lion OF letting the Offices go begging,
should there ever be so unfortunate n
thing as n Democratic victory, can not
be counted on the prongs Of q fork.
This is a peculla1ty OF the Democratic
party; II doesn't care for "ths Office" i:
ls content merely TO have Offices"
That's patriotism and every bit o;
patriotism Of this character is found
right In the ranks Of the Democracy, cs-
pcciaiiy the West Virginia Democracy.
II has been a matter OF common obs'r-
walton for many years that the Demo-
Gratis Of this state and country only con-
cent once in while 10 hold Offices or

Youths Companion: The helpfulness
of a good man, when It comes to as
sistance In Domestic affairs, Is apt to be
very much like that OF Mr.. Barker,
whose exploit Is narrated below:
His wife had asked him TO hang a
picture she had purchased for the par-
lor, and he had said that he would do
It sin a Iifiy."
you must get me the cord and a
picture hook he said to his wife; land
tell the servant girl to run down to the
cellar and bring up the step-iadder and
carry It into the parlor; and where's
those two little screw thlng-a-ma- jigs
that go into the back OF the frame at
the sides to put the cord ti1rough2 Look
them up for me; and Ill need the GIN
let to bore a little hole for the screws.
Somebody get the gimlet, or maybe
can drive them in with the hammer.
Johnny, you run down 20 the cellar and
get the hammer.
II don't know but a chair would be
better than the stepladder for me TO
stand on. Somebody go out into the
kitchen and get me a chair. don't
want to stand on one Of the parior
chairs.
Got that cordP Just measure on
about the right length and fRsteB It In
those little things at the sides.
There, now, there's your picture, all
hung up in good shape, and no fuss
about II. The difference between us
men and you women Is that when we
have anything 10 do we go right ahead
and do It, and make no talk about it."

ilower. It was nOthing less than doz-
en- cannons that have 'been raised from
the bottom Of the sea in Dunworley Bay
of the coast of Cork, after having lain
there for upwards Of 300 years. For the
past fortnight diving operations have
been going on in Dufworley Bay with
view 10 the recovery Of certain treasure
sunk in Spanish vessels that went TO thu
bottom over 800 years ago.
The facts Of what led up to this re-
marKabie discovery are OF interest. II
appears that two gentlemen OF Cork
Messrs. ]. MIricahey and I. r. Holland,
received precise Information about two
Spanish sbips-one Of them a pirate
that were l0st In Duuwortey Bay over
800 years ago, and. after consulting with
Mr., EnSor, salvage contractor OF
Queenstown, who placed his diving geaE
at, their disposal they formed small
syndlcata TO explore the bay and seek
for the treasure Of the sinkep ships,
They secured for this purpose the ser
vices OF ATr, Patrick Collins. diver well

disgrace the stan OF the Police Gazette,
would be guilty OF such work. The
Rev. Mr. Holt stated, that before

voeating polVgamR. justifying Il upon
scientific grounds and denouncing
monogamy as a factor In civilization.
1t will therefore not be out of place
to give, for those interested, a few ex.
tracts from my notes taken in the class
room.
After q few remarks on the origin
and necessity OF marriage, DR.. waG
said in effect: Two of the most preva-
lent forms OF marriage are polygamy
and monogamy. The former Is the pre-.
ponderant form and, taking the popula-
tloH OF the globe by nations and races
by for the greater part sanction It and
practice It as far as the circumstances
will permit. Whatever, therefore, our
individual opinions may be upon the
subject, as students OF sociology, we
must put aside prejudice and study its
social tendencies.
'Polygamy tends to deprave a people
and necessarily reduces women 10 the
condition of drudges. The overthrow
of polygamy wherever Il has been over
thrown is a mnrk Of progress.
'Monogamy is the form prevailing IN
all enlightened and progressive coun-
tries. It claims the highest place
among the forms OF marriage. II pre-
vents the lnpoverishment of families

Or. Ward IS . strong guppoFter Of
the monogmanic system Of marriage, as
all his writings bear evidence. In q
recent lecture he said: 'M0nogamH
alone can produce domestic peace and
happiness"
From a scientific point OF View he
claims that compulsory marriages are
detrimental and only those that are
founded on choice can result In good.
This latter statement has been in.
terpreted as being synonymous with
free love" A word 70 the wise will

humane and natural theories ever ad-
vanced. It lies at the bottom Of all

cations he may do so by consulting
