BRAVE PUG.
Parkersburg Dog Defends Its Mistress

Against the Caress Of her Sweetheart.
A young man well known In Park
ersburg as quite lady,s man had an
experience the other night that was
as thrilling as it was unlocked for
says the Journal He was calling on
one of his friends in the neighborhood
of east Fifth street. He did not
notice the pug dog that was sleeping
in corner. During his call he APP
preached his fair hostess for the pur-
pose of claiming a kiss he won Ola an
election bet. A friendly tussel fol-
lowed--it becomes a modest maid to
at least make show of resistance
Still he did not know the dog was
there. A moment later he did Sud-
denly he was made painfully aware of
the presence of the enemy in the shape
of a pug. 1t seized him by the trous-
ers and went on through to the flesh.
Then there was a howl-in fact two
bowls, for the dog howled, too. A
lively fight followed. The dog evil
IDENTIFY believed the young beau was
serious in his intentions and the way
ne proceeded to defend the young lady
was caution.
The commotlon reached fever heat.
Both the young lady and young man
were screaming, and the dog was bark
ing. The family was awakened, and
when the head of the family appeared
on the scene the predicament of the
young fellow was embarrassing and
trying in the extreme He could
hardly explain why the dog woke up
and yet the missing part Of his trou-
sers leg and all that racket needed
justification. Although it was just
too awful-yet it is true. He num-
bled few words about little harm
less fun and fresh dogs and then
sneaked away.

Do Not Give Up In De-
spair-There is Hopei

For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those 80 unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affection have con-
sidered themselves beyond hope of
recovery The doctors are alb
solutely unable to afford any re-
lief, and the poor sufferer might
we'll consider himself ON the way
to an early grave.
1t is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis-
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting ,-sy the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re-
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
the Cancer promptly returns, and is
always more virulent than before.
1t has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is blood disease,
and can not be cured by the surgeons
knife because the blood can not be cut
asCay.
Several years ago my wife had an
ulcer on her tongue, which, though an
noying, was not regarded seriously at
first. 1t refused to heal and began to
grow, giving her much pain. The doc
tors treated it for quite while but

Der of the ''Church at Home and
Abroad the official organ OF the or
ganization of his visit and among
other things said:
The town dates from about the

1867, when it was established as the
West Virginia Agricultural College,
and in the following year took the

has seven large buildings, forty two
professors and instructors, and about
$50 students. OF these about one
hundred are reckoned as Presbyter-
ians in their sympathies. We think
that our Presbyterian colleges are
more suitable places for the education
Of our young men, but, as many Pres.
byterians do, for one cause or another
attend State universities, we regard
it as an imperative duty to make all
possible provision for the spiritual
care of those in attendance. We re-
joice in very evidence that the Synod
of Pennsylvania is lending the weight
of its name and influence 10 behalf OF
the efforts which are put forth to
make the wisest provision that can be
devised. The problem has its diff
Fculties, and they are BY no means in
considerable. One of the encourag-
ing features is the presence in this, as
In other State universities, Of not a
few earnest Christians among the
professors. Their influence is felt
powerfully for good. We shall watch
with some solicitude the effect Of the
policy, inaugurated at the opening OF
the present session, of making atten-
dance at morning prayers on the part
of the students and professors volun-
tary. This policy was but one week
old on the occasion OF our recent visit.
1t is but fair to say that the atten-
dance was of a highly encouraging
character. President Raymond, who
shares with President Jenkins, of
Parsons College, Ia, the honor OF be-
ing youngest among college presidents
evidently believes in the policy which
he has inaugurated and intends that
it shall prove successful. 1t is of the
utmost Importance that Christians
throughout our land of all denomin-
ations should watch and pray that
our State universities, which are grow
ing to be most powerful factors in our
national life, may be kept under the
influence of true religion. We cannot
predict anything but national disaster
if education, particularly in its higher
forms, prove an instrument in the
hands OF godlessness.

SINNERS Tavern-ssYou Can't Beat II
Unless you Cheat"

Brother Brown, of the Kingwood
Argus was recently at Fairmont and
evidently struck good hotel. Here
is what he says about it:
| About the most popular hotel in the
State is the 'sSkinner House," or ssThe
Tavern" as it is called in Fairmont,
near the B. and o. railroad depot.
1t is so handy to the trains and you
can sit in the hotel and be comforta-
Bile, reading or talking till your train
comes in and then have plenty of time
to catch it. The rooms are splendidly
furnished and everything is very clean
and neat and the genial host and
clerk and all the employees SO polite
and attentive that it is a real pleasure
to stop there. The proprietor, Benz.
G. Williams, is one of the best hotel
men in thh State, and we believe he
has the best run of custom of any
hotel in the State. We were there
the other day and in registering we
noticed the list was over 400 for
that month. An account is kept by
the clerk who begins with No. / for
the first guest Of each month and fol-
lows the names up with the figures, SO
that you can see at glance how
many customers the hotel has had for
the current month. For October the
score ran up to 1855 and will probably
average J., 500 per month. The Tavern
| is such good stand that the proprie-
tor has standing offer of 81, 600 per
year rent for the place, so we were in
formed by Fairmont business man.
The hotel has library and writing
room and parlor for guests, also bar
Der shop, bath rooms, bar, local and
long distance telephones. The motto
Of the hotel is s'You can't Beat it un-
less you Cheat, and it is very fair and
correct. The dining room service is
very good and you get plenty to eat
and get it promptly. The whole
building is lighted with electricity
and we'll heated and is as good 81
per day house as we know of anywhere.
This is not an advertisement, as it is
entirely voluntary on our part and un-
known to the proprietor. We make
this mention because we think the
house deserves 1t.

posing on Good Nature.
Persons having telephones in their
houses or places of business are sub
jected to an annoyance which il
growing daily 1t is the calls made
upon them by those who have no tel
ephones.
The business man is frequently
called at his busiest hour to answer
the phone, only to learn that Mrs
So and So is out of pickles and will
he be SO kind as to tell Mr.. Grocer
to send up pint right away. The
lady of the house, busy entertain
ing friends, is called away to learn
that Mr. Blank finds it impossible
to meet an engagement with his girl
next door, and would Mrs - be
SO kind as to run over and let her
know? The good natured owner of
the telephone does the errand, but
has hardly had time to resume her
conversation with the guests when
another ring is heard and she learns
that Mr. Blank has managed to
make different arrangements with
his girl; will Mrs. kindly tell
her SO and oblige?
The persons who are continually
asking these services of the owners
of telephones are nearly always
persons who do not subscribe for in
struments. They are selfish, incon-
siderate and nuisances generally,
and those who require the greatest
services are those who have matters
of the least Importance to commu-
nicate. They impose upon good
nature, and to use slang expires
sion, should be sat upon good and
hard.
