little hustling yourself. Don't be 9

and disposed to say something mean

by knocking. No man ever got rich
or happy minding everybody's business
but his own. No man ever helped

money
Years ago two mud barges were built
at San Francisco, exactly alike. con

was quite commonplace, but the other
raced every barge in the bay and beat
them all; raced every yacht ON the Pa
cific coast and beat them. She was so
fast that yachts were built on her lines,
but turned out mere barges for sloth.
Nobody could see how this craft differed
from her crawling sisters or from the
yachts.

What Makes Success.

"We are forever going to begin
work tomorrow, SAID Mr.. Staybolt,
land we are never satisfied with the
job we've got, and we perform the
labor involved In 1t in half hearted
manner, but We are going to work in
dead earnest when we get job TO suit
us.
"The fact Is that tomorrow, when
we get to it, will be to us as to-day is
TO US now: we shan't feel any more
like work. And that another job,
when we come in actual contact with
it and see it close at hand won't suit
us any better than the one we've got
now does.
a'The truth is that we are dawdlers
and shy of work and trying to get
along just as easy as we can. We
hate to pitch in and go at things.
1.-THE time for US to work is now
and not tomorrow, and the job fol-
US to collar is the one we've got.
Round that up in style, do the work
completely and thoroughly, and you'll
be astonished to find how you'll bring
it out and what chances there are in
it and everybody that knows about
your work or is in any way concerned
or affected by it, as it is done well or
i'll, will be delighted to see it well
done-and pleased with the doer, and
there's money In it every time.

We desire to impress upon our
readers the fact that the nineteenth
annual Fair and Exposition of the
West Virginia Association will take
place at Wheeling Island the week
commencing September 4th and to
assure them that it will be a great

displays by this energetic organiza-

such demand on the part of the
exhibitor, and many applicants have
been turn ed away simply because
they could not possibly be accommo-
dated The attendance, also, will be
greater than ever before, as is evil
denced in many ways. Excursion
rates have been secured on all rail
roads entering Wheeling or suburb
an towns, and exceptional facilities
will be afforded visitors to the city
in reaching the grounds, through
he electrical railway, as all cars will
pass by. the grounds from the Ohio
side as well as from the city. Five
cents carries the visitor from the
center Of the city right to the Fair
Grounds gate, and all heat, dust.

thus be avoided.

About Divorces.

The large fact about divorces is thai
there is always another man Or woman
in waiting with whom the applicant
expects to renew the covenant he OF
she is now anxious to avoid. Most
persons do not seek divorce because
their marriage bonds are intolerable,
but because they think some other
marriage bonds will be more to theil

was separation from bed and board,
most Of the discontinued couples
would patch up modus vivendi and
go on as they are. A re-deal of hus.

SOME PENNSYLVANIA LAW.
Overhanging Fruit Tree Limbs May
be Cut on nv the Land owner.

DC OuU Vn Ny euC huuu VWucIs
The following opinion was render
ed by Judge Mcclure of the Union
Snyder district: If the branches of
trees growing on ones land hang over
the line upon the other the adjoining
owner may cut off the limbs perpen-
dicular with his line, providing the
branches have not been allowed to ex-
tend over for a period of 81 years OF
more without objection, when nc
right would be gained to cut them off.
Fruit on a tree is part of the realty
and is not the subject of larceny. If
the fruit had fallen to the ground the
neighbor could pick it up and use it.
The right of the adjoining land owner
to lop off the branches of overhanging
trees before q years of permissive ac-
quiescence has elapsed does not carry
with it the right to the fruit hanging
on the tree. The fruit is not the
product Of his toll or labor. -Phila-
