Little G-Dropper"-that was what
Aunt Professor called Natalie. 1t was
quite Il grief to Aunt Professor. or
course you couldn't be the wife of a
professor In II great college and enjoy
hearing your only little niece that ever
was drop g's.
m sorry. auntie. and I'm gOin' to
stop droppin' EN- right straight off,"
natalie would say, pellitently: and then
Aunt Professor would squeeze her and
laugh and say:
There must lie two somewhere I'M
der your feet this minute. Little
G-DrOpper!''
1t grew worse. If anything. There
were 80 many ling" words in Natalie's
language, and they always ended in

Aunt Professor corrected the little
girl, in her gentle way. a dozen times
u day. and dozen times day Natalie
said. "Oh, dear. there goes another one,
auntie! | keep droppin' 'em!'
When mamma and Natalie and Baby
BOY went away to the senshOre there
was no one to correct Natalie. for it
took all mammals time to pick up other
things besides gs that Baby Boy kept
dropping
In August was Nmtalie's birthday,
and Of course there came an express
bundle from Aunt Professor. Natalie
had had nine birthdays anu nine ex-

For the bundle was open. 1t was full
OF birthday treasures-ten of them. to
match Natalie's years. The tenth one
was Il little square box wrapped in
dainty pink tissue and tied with silver

Of it and shook it ''e-asy."

And no wonder, for in the dainty little

the last 20 years the number of fish in

nets to catch the same number OF fish.
The government has for 20 years main.

POstMen's Work In Central Africa.
The postmaster general for the Brit
ish Central Africa PrOtectOrate gives
one or two interesting items OF news in
his latest report. The mails are still
conveyed for the most part upon the
heads and backs Of native postmen.
The men are recruited chiefly from the
Ya0 and AtongM tribes, and wear uni
form. Fully 400 bags Of mails are
made mp each month ut the different
post0tiices In the Protectorate for con-
veyance by these men, the total dis
lance travelled being close upon 10000
miles per month. the cost Of transit be-
ing less than I'D. per mile per bag. The
system of forwarding mails at night by
relays Of carriers has been greatly ex-
tended; the night mail services now
represent y total distance travelled Of
some 1000 miles per month. The post
men travel in pairs, and are armed
with rifles, as lions are not infrequently
encountered.

that he might utilize some of his time

IMPORTANT
LEGISLATION
is PROPOSED.
At the Coming Session Of the West
Virginia Legislature, and
Some of It Affects y.
WHEELING 1lI1.E: AND OHIO COUNTY.
County Court Carnegie Library,
Jury, Wheeling Charter and 4
Other Bills.

Although political matters, including
the election Of a United States senator
and the re.dlstrlctlng Of the state into
Eve congressional districts, as well as
Encouragement Of the senatorial and
house Of delegates representation. will
claim precedence when the West Vir-
glnia legislature assemblies at Charles
ton early in January-still there is
much other legislation on the tapls Of
equal Or greater Importance to occupy
the attention of the legislators during
their forty-five days sojourn by the
banks. Of the Kanawha.
Some Of this proposed Legislation az
fects Ohio county, for instance, the bill
Delegate S. G. Smith is said to have
decided to introduce. doing away with
the county board of commissioners and
substituting for It the county court Of
three members such us ia provided for
In the other counties OF the state. these
members to be elected from the county
at large without regard to districts. One
OF the main purposes of the bill Is to
pave the way for reduction in the
number Of mngisterlal districts from
ten to five and SO reduce the number Of
justices Of peace to five. Mr.. Smith
said yesterday that IL the county board
would agree to reduce the number Of
magisterial districts to five, he would
provide in his bill for the retention Of
the board Of commissioners with a
membership of five. This would mean
n considerable annual saving OF expense
to the county, without the least Grip
pllng Of the public service, says Mr..
Smith.
Other Important Legislation.
Mr.. Smith will Introduce an amend
ment to the mechanics lien law, ex-
tending the time in which O lien MAJ be
acquired by mechanic.
From other sources 1t is learned that
other members OF the legislature will
present bills Of Importance locally.
Among these will be one providing for
the service Of certain classes OF people
on grand juries and trial jurIes, who are
now exempted. Including lawyers,
preachers and physicians. 1t Is claimed
that fully one-half OF the criminal liti-
CATION would be avoided were q law
yer on every grand jury.
Another important bill that is expect
ed to be offered is one giving to the
judges OF the circuit court the right to
annul liquor licenses when complaint Is
entered as to the character Of the
place.
a bill to give the necessary powers to
the Wheeling board Of education In or
der that 1t may acquire q site for the
$4,000 library building that Andrew
Carnegie has expressed himself willing
to donate, will be introduced. e,
1t is probable that one OF the Ohio
county legislators will introduce bill
for an amended charter for the city Of
Wheeling, doing away with the present
complicated system Of placing each de-
pa-tment in the hands of board. and
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1900-12-22

instead providing for a board Of con-
troll or board Of affairs,
which would direct the operations
Of all the citys departments, including
public works. water, gas and electric
light. x
"a Constitutional Convention.
There is some talk, too, OF putting
through the legislation necessary for
bringing into being a constitutional
convention. ut Is argued that the con-
stitution Isl out Of date, that It was
adopted over thirty years ago and was
even iantiquated when passed. In at
least one respect, It Is argued there
should be a change; the salaries OF the
supreme court Judges should be In
creased and there should be n A fifth
Judge SO that deadlock In the court
would be impossible. 1t is also advo-
Gated that there should be a larger
number Of judicial districts; when the
present districts were formed the state
had not one-third of Its present popu-
.lation, and there Is even greater dis
proportion In the amount Of legal busl-
ness done. 1t Is proposed In connection
with this increase in the number of ju-
dicial districts to do away with 1 the
SSai 20 CohoblinllCh AL u kch VI
the counties.
It is also whispered that there will be
a campaign against the corporations to
compel them to pay more OF taxes into
the state treasury than they are now
paying-especiaIly express, telegraph,
telephone and railroad corporations It
is claimed that these corporations now
escape their just proportion Of the
taxes by a technicality of the law.
Another bill that Will be proposed by
Mr.: Smith 10 the re-ennctmenti of the
Smith bill passed In 1885, but repealed
in 1877. empowering Judges of the cIr-'
cult court to remove from office Jus
ticca of the peace who are shown to
be unfit for the otilos. Mr.. Smiths
dusticea bill was constitutional while the
repent re-enacted measure declared
unconstitutional by the, supreme Court
q These are only few Of the proposed
acts OF legislation upon which the In
coming legislature viii DO called to set
Its stamp Of, approval or disapproval.
There are others"-many Of them.
