We have heard of the boy who
wanted to eat his cake and keep it
too, but never before Of business
man who sold his goods and then gave
the purchaser credit for the amount
paid. To learn about this send to
James Vick's Sons, OF Rochester, N.
Y, who agree to do this in their
Guide. The Golden Wedding edition
OF Vick's Garden and Floral Guide is
certainly an artistic work, with Its
twenty-four pages Autographed in
colors. and nearly one hundred more
pages filed with handsome half-tone
Illustrations, photographed from
Flowers, Fruits, Vegetables and
homes.
While this Guide is really too ex-
pensive to give away, they give it
with Due Bill for Is cents worth OF
seeds for only Is cents. Another new
feature is the doing away with the
old packet OF Vegetable Seeds and
stating the quantity in each case, the
buyer getting more for his money.

AN ECONOMIC RAIL.
Great improvement For the B. & 0.
ROadbed.

Chief Engineer w. T. Manning, Of
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, has
invented new rail that experts say
has many points of interest to rail-
road owners, the principal one being
its economical feature. 1t is well
known that rails wear rapidly ON
curves and where these are short and
traffic heavy, the cost of renewal is
very large. Manning has evolved a
section, which, he asserts, will reduce
the cost 81 per cent per ton per year.
He adds materially to the life OF the
rail by placing additional metal in the
head and on the side upon which the
wear comes.
The new rail will be given a thor
ough test on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, the receivers having ordered
1000 tons from the Carnegie Steel Co.
The Pittsburg and Western have also,
ordered 500 tons.

RARE CURIOSITY.
Petriiied wasp's nest in possession Of a
JeWeler.

Charles Schneider, jeweler of Mt.
Hope, W. Va, is the lucky possessor
of a most perfectly petrified wasp's
nest, which was found near Berkeley,
in Raleigh county. The most singu-
lar feature about this rare specimen
is that petrifaction occurred while the
nest was full of larvae, and shows
that necessary adjunct in forming the
wasp in we'll petrified state.
The atmospheric agencies in the
locality where this specimen was
found have been known to petrify
crows, blackbirds, wild pigeon, wild
geese. ETC., while on the wing crossing
this petrified belt. Mr. Schneider
takes great pride in exhibiting the
petrified wasp nest and places great
er value upon it than the best gold
watch in his jewelry store.

RECORD UNBROKEN.
The LIST w. Va. Infantry Foot Ball
Team Win Another Victory.

COLUMBUS, Ca, Jan. 27.-The foot
bali team Of the First West Virginia
won decisive victory over a picked
team OF citizens at this place to-day
by the score of % TO O. This would
be nothing strange for West Virgin
ians, for since the organization of the
team, early in the fall, they have won
every game, and not an unusual effort
was made at this time to secure them
defeat. Soon after the Regiment
came to this citv it defeated the local
team easily Next the Virginians
played the 3d Kentucky team, which
it defeated by score of % to o.
This was regarded as quite victory,
as up to that time they had never
been defeated. The two victories fol-
lowing each other closely made the
local team determined to defeat the
Snakes, if it could be done. So for
several weeks they have been hunting
over Georgia and Alabama for talent,
and the team which opposed the
Snakes to-day was composed of the
best men of the camps of those two
states. But they were no match for
the West Virginians.
This is perhaps the last game the
Snakes will play.

A Distressing Accident.

Last Thursday afternoon Jacob
Grow, aged %, son of George G.. Grow,
deceased, and grandson of ex-Treasur-
er Jacob Crow, was instantly killed
while at work. He was employed by
Van Lowe, the sawyer, and in turning
a log he placed the spike in the forks
of two limbs. When the log sudden
" turned the spike flew up and struck
the young man on the neck from
which instantaneous death resulted.
Jacob Grow was spoken of as an ex-
emplary young man and his death has
cast a gloom over that section. His

A SUCCESS.
Episcopal Hall Has Proven It's
Worth BY Its Work.

Bishop Peterkin's Long headed Scheme
goes all Right Thirty or More Boys
Have all the Delights Of Home--Thcy
are Looked After Better Than the
Students in Other Boarding Houses
Good Record This Year.
The success of the Episcopal Hall
under the present management has
been very encouraging to the projec-
tors of the experiment. Bishop Peter
kin has been strong advocate of the
plan and has put his money into it to
show how much he believes In it. 1t
has been In charge this year OF Rev.
Winecoff the Episcopal rector
About thirty boys are roomed and
boarded at the Hall. They have all
the care that they would have In case
they were at home and they have many
more Of The comforts OF life than boys
who room as private houses.
1t has been claimed that similar
scheme would not work and that the
boys living in a house this way could
not be controlled sufficiently to get
anything at all done. This claim will
not do in view of the evident success
of the Hall this year.
The order has been exceptional and
the plan has proven that so far as the
order and the discipline are concerned
that it is all right. The people living
In the vicinity OF the hall have no
complaints to make and they comment
on the gen lemaniy behavior OF the
young men who make it their home.
Other denominations are talking
of making similar provisions for their
young men here and the future of the
University depends in great measure
on the determination that is made In
this direction. La case they are hold
ing back for fear that the experiment
will be disastrous they are referred to
the institution that is already in sue
cessful operation.

Travelling in the Interests of the
School-Will Spend Two Years in the
Effort Members of the Board of
Trustees.
President S. L. Boyers, of the West
Virginia Conference Seminary at
Buckhannon, is making tour of the
State in the interest of that institu-
tion and is expected shortly in Char
lesion. He is endeavoring to raise
funds for the Buckhannon Seminary.
The Bishops Of the M. E. church of
the United States recently formulated
a petition for what is called a 'sTwen-
tieth Century Thank Offering" The
church is in need of $40, 900, 900 for
educational purposes, having control
of about 200 UNCONVENTIONAL schools
and universities and this money will
be devoted to clearing off the indebt-
edness and providing substantial en-
dowments.
In harmony with this appeal, the
trustees of the seminary and presiding
elders of the West Virginia conference
have asked for 1925, 900, as this states
share of the Twentieth Century Thank
Offering. OF the 1925, 900, $40. 900 is
needed to pay off present indebted
ness, 800, 600 for permanent endow-
ment fund, and So, 900 will be spent
for improvements to the buildings.
Prof. Boyers was elected To the
presidency last June, and he will
spend the greater part of two years in
the field, soliciting subscriptions.
He stated in a talk On the school,
that he believed West Virginia Meth
odists would rally in support of an in
stitution, which is under the control
of the West Virginia conference The
school is growing splendidly since its
Inauguration in 1890 Last year the
enrolment was $50 students, and
President Boyers is confident the 400
mark will be reached this year.

Revival Notes.

One lady protested conversion at
the altar of the M. +. church last
evening. The meeting was the best
one of the series. Professor Ellen
berger and number of his class,
assisted in the music. DR.. Leech
preached from the words 1T is a
great work: why should the work
cease" He discussed and illustrated
the following questions. What gives
revival work its moral greatness?
What may be expected from a pastor
and his membership amidst revival
phenomena? What are the chief
hindrances to great success in local
reyivals? Why should such work
be continuous in an ideal church?
In closing he said "a revival seals
the doom of many souls. It's close
is the death knell of a multitude of
deathless spirits. Almost persuaded
to consecrate life and heart to the
divine service they go from the tor
rid spiritual zone of revival to
that Arctic moral cline where re-
ligious warmth never again affects
them. "Why should the work cease?'
You must answer this question Re
spond to it as you will you will wish
you had when eternity dawns."
The people who attended the SER
vice, in observance of the Day Of
Prayer for Colleges, at the Presby-
terrain church last evening were de-
lighted with the sermon by Rev. L.
A. Lindemuth. His subject, "Mem-
ory," was appropriate to the coca
sion; his treatment scholarly, natur-
al, and forceful: his manner easy
and graceful. He impressed his au-
dience as a strong man, who is re-
tieeting much honor on his Alma
Mater.

a new source of annoyance in the shape
of wreck occurred at Des Chutes bridge
yesterday afternoon. A broken f1ange

truck to be thrown off and one car to
land against the trues on the side OF the

shaking up, none suffered injury there

The Daily Text Book Bill Discussion Gre
ates a Sensation Among the
Legislators.

STATE HOUSE, Salem, Feb. 1911 rs
p. m. There was intense excitement
in the house this morning when the
Daily text book measure came up for dis
cussion. Curtis, Whalley, Hawson,
Hawley were opposed to it,whileMoody,
Stewart and Stillman were in favor of
its passage.
WhalleY stated that Hofer. of the
Salem Journal, had tried to intimidate
the members to vote for the bill. Hofer
at once said ''You are a liari'' Both
statements were then repeated, and the
feeling waxed warm. The house immed-
lately voted to censure Hofer for his un-
seemingly conduct.
Flagg and Hawson also waged war
of words, making the ecene lively one,
as had been expected when the measure
was presented. Several charges were
made that money was being used in
the effort to defeat the bill. These
statements were not contradicted.
The bill finally passed by a vote of
thirty. three to twenty-six, one member
