The Memory of Mother.

1 never hear the lovely sound
OF sweet birds singing near the mound
Where two gentle hands lie cold
In the silent graves enfold,
That l do not sigh and weep
Der the thought that she must sleep d.
Forever, in that chilly bed
In the lone chamber of the dead.
And 1 never see the light
OF the silvery stars of night
shedding Ger the hills a CLEAN,
Waking things look like a dream,
Ihat l do not see her face,
ana her form of winning grace,
Rising, shining in the light
That glows around her grave so bright.
And l never feel the breeze
Ihat waves the blossoms on the -rcc5
BY that lone and dreary hilt
Where har sacred hands lie still,
Ihat / do not feel the breath
From her lips now cold in death
Her gentle lips of crimson hue,
NOW pale beneath the midnight dew.
And 1 never feel the touch
OF mem'ry's hand 1 love SO much,
hi Inc to me so fondly dear,
Whose touch is sweetest love and care
l do not feel a pain
That her dear hands ne'er again
Shall press this bosom while she lies
So still beneath the midnight skies,
And I never hear the flow
OF music, soft and low,
Which kind Nature sings to me
While | sit beside Her knee,
That l do not hear the swelling
or mothers voice gently telling
OF the tender love she bore for me
Ere she was laid by the Congaree.

scarcely an inch in width. The bodice
fitted the figure closely at the waist

'AO
What romanticists women are! How
they love to weave webs and put folk
in 'em! And if, in the weaving they
can but make martyrs of themselves
the weaving is done with unusual
pleasure, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Mothers whose daughters are to be
married have a splendid chance at this
sort of business. They weep and wall
and never stop to think that what
brings happiness to those VIC love is
what brings happiness to us. Mothers
claim that daughters after they are
married will never be quite the same;
that their hearts are then divided.
Some think not. There is nothing like
matrimony to give one the world in
all its serious responsibilities, ana the
girl who was frivolous and shallow is
as likely to become as brainy and phil
%osophical, a woman as any that ever
bumped into numerous, hard-shelled
problems of life. Then it is that the
mother is appreciated all the more. It
works on the same rule that sums up
to you the i~ndisputable fact that 4
mother is never fully appreciated by
her childNen until the children are pa
rents. Then they know. Tie years of
sacrifice and sweet unselfishness and
constant anxiety and care are brought
out clear and full, and with never a
blemish to dim the beauty of their per-
f~actneSS.

has been added, giving them an oc-

them in the same way as before,
squeezing them often, but not rubbing.
All the dirt will come out under this
treatment. If they are very dirty and
need boiling, tie them up in a bag
before putting them in the copper, and
they will not be so likely to get torn.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir: l see that Council is about to
re-elect Bob Cline as chief of the fire
department. l wish to register a pro-
test.
The trouble with Robert is that as
soon as a fire breaks out he calls his
minions and puts it out, with the result
that we never have an opportunity to
read in the morning papers anything
about the city being Illuminated by
the flame demon %or the narrowing de-
tails of how the confagration spread
from house to house carrying destruc .
ton and devastation in its fiery path"
Why not have new deal. and elect a
fire chief who knows something about
giving the devouring element" a de-
cent chance. The fire fiend" hasn't
visited Wheeling for quite a while. and
for one I'm getting Lonesome If there
is anything | enjoy it is to rush out Of
bed at two a. m. attired in pajamas. gum
boots and travelling cap, and see some
body elses property being licked up
by the flames 1t used to be an inter
esting diversion, but, alas, times are
net what they used to be. I doubt if
there is reporter in Wheeling who
could write up a decent fire They're
all out of practice. Give us a fire chief
who will give the destructive element
some sort of a show.

long series of years by property-owners

As to the Creek.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir: | see the Intelligencer quotes
somebody secondhand as being of the
opinion that Wheeling creek might be
arched over for two million dollars,
and four millions of real estate be there
by reclaimed. 1t was an interesting
yarn, and I perused it with the absorb
ing interest which naturally attaches
to a first copy of she" or a censored
cablegram from South Africa.
Wouldn't it be grand thing to arch
the creek over, from one underlined
point to another, both inclusive, and
build hotels with roof gardens, and
six-story warehouses and mills and
factories and tenement houses and all
night saloons all over the sinuous
course of the ripping stream which
at present meanders through the midst
of our little industrial community? 1t
would be perfectly lovely, as the girls
say. And what happy time we would
have when the river got up to some
thing like forty feet, and the creek was
on one of its OccasJ nal rampages, say
in the dead of winter There would be
ice, and drift wood, and fall pumpkins
and things like that all over the Fourth
ward and adjacent territory, and the
district from the Stone bridge to and
beyond Baltimore street, yea, even to
Baker street, would put those of us who
have done" Europe in mind of dear
old Venice. It's a great scheme. By
all means let's arch the creek, and see
what happens. What this town needs
is amusement and a new sensation.

Wheeling 60 Years Ago.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir: Your correspondent is indebted
tc Benjamin f. ShuttlewOrth, OF this
city, for the following Renaissance:
In 1910 a delegation of so persons left
Clarksburg on horseback to attend a
convention which assembled in Wheel
ing mot then known as city,, con-
tanning a population of only 5000, on
the Ord CT September of that year. The
delegation was largely composed of cit
liens of Clarksburg and its Immediate
vicinity. In it there were five soldiers
of the war of 1912: Richard FOwkes,
Wilson Bartlett, Joseph Bailey, Samuel
Davis and Motley Shut -leworth, some
of whom had served under General Har-
rison, the then presidential candidate.
This campaign was known as the Coon
Skin, Log Cabin, Hard Cider" cam
paign At most of the county seats log
cabins were built in primitive style.
with live coons around them, and with
barrels OF hard cider nearby. The
heads of the barrels were knocked in
and tin cups and gourds were hung up
SO that all might help themselves. They
sang "Tippacanoe and Tyler Too

the occasion referred to it was estimated
that 10000 persons were present on u
hill near Wheeling to hear ,Ae speak
ing. Southgate, of Kentucky. made the
first speech. and was followed by others.
The immense gathering exceeded d
calculation.
The object OF the meeting was to
arouse the people Of Eastern Ohio,
Western Pennsylvania and Western
Virginia. Fifteen states were represent
ed, among them the Hoosier, the Suck
er and the Wolverine farmer. The
people of Pennsylvania were clamoring
for Henry Clay's protective tariff bill
Manufactures at this time had closed
down almost all over the United States.
and manufacturers were also asking
for tariff legislation. Mr.. Shuttleworth
says that he was never present at a
more bountiful repast.and that after all
had eaten there were taken up twelve
baskets full; that the hospitality of the
citizens of Wheeling was unbounded,
and without precedent.
The citizens threw open their houses
and boarded and lodged the people, and
perhaps never in the history OF this
State will an occasion be longer remem-
bered than the trip overland to Wheel
ing from Clarksburg.

, the Editor of the Register.

To the Editor of the REGISTER.
Sir: Two young ladies who found
out, all abou, the young men of Wheel
ing, are utterly Disguised with the way
they act toward the young ladies.
There are few who never think
moment if young lady would like to
go to a theater, but is it all right when
you pay your way to dancing school
and they come and think you should put
yourself out a great deal for them.
But, young ladies, beware of all these
young men, for some of them think be-
cause they have money all of us are
after them. We want neither them
nor their money. Some of these cheap
sports who clerk in stores and think
they own the town, wonder what they
are, but our opinion is very, very lit
tie.
For remember, young men. we have
you spotted out, who go and stag" all
the dances. 1t is all right for all Of
the young ladies who sit in the house
and entertain you, and it is only a
waste of time, for a young lady's time
is only too valuable to be thrown away.
The young men who have quit their
lady friends because Christmas is ap-
preaching cheap they are.

Tearing Up the Streets.

To the Editor of the Register.
Is there not an ordinance forbidding
tearing I'D the streets after winter be-
gins? 1t is well known that repairs
are imperfectly made because OF the
frozen condition of the earth. But
what do we see? Whole blocks OF our
carefully laid and expensive brick
pavements torn up for the convenience
of some corporation. Look at the
crude way in which the relaying is
done-not the fault of the workmen,
but of the weather at this season.
Let an individual ask for this priv
ilege at this time of year. Would he
GET if? Echo answers, not much. Is
there no relief or no protection?

Music In the Schools.

To the Editor of the Register.
Sir: For the past year or two years
there has been d great deal Of dissatis-
faction among the taxpayers of the
city in regard to music in the public
schools. 1t is considered entirely uu-
necessary and o, no benefit to the pu-
pills; and to say the least, it interferes
with heir other studies. One thous-
and dollars is the YEARLY salary paid tor
these musical instructions and yet it
is known that in nearly every instance
the instructress merely assigns les
son fo- The regula" s:.col teacher to do
the work. If mCsic would be tahea out
