ga man who cannot do without

no business in the army and will

rankest nonsense to say that, if en-
listed men cannot have access to

whisky. There is no need of their

inspection by company command

found with whisky on them or in

Chances OF NIarriage.

Men who are looking for wives
are growing more cautious daily.
The up.to-date maiden of society
must be careful if she would wear
orange blossoms.
In the opening of loves cam
paign appearances count doubly.
Men love beauty, but there is one
rival to this attribute in their eyes,
to wit: exquisite neatness
Fast talk may attract men to
some girls, nay it does, but men
who hear girl tell or laugh at a
risque story mentally draw line
through her name as possible
wife.
Vanity is inherent in both sexes.
Men usually have good share.
The girl who can find outthe vul-
nerable spot of the eligible and
skilIfuIly flatter thereupon has COW
cred the first round toward the goul.
The tailor-made maiden is be-
loved of all we'll bred men. The
more quietly but stylishly, the girl
is gowned the greater admiration
she will receive from Mr.. Man.
Moreover, she must be we'll shod
and never frayed as to pettiooats.
The voice is a powerful aid to
girls who would win to themselves
much admiration. Loud-voiced
women are never 80 enthralling as
those having low-timbred voice.
Have a sympathetic voice and
laugh. They can be acquired.
Show your fiancee he holds your
heart, but if you would hold his
don't take the general public into
your confidence.

rhe New Century.

Editor of Register:
The Daily claims for itself that
it is read by everyone in town, and
especially by the ladies and
young people. We don't doubt
this, but if such is the case, the
Daily must be accurate, for it is
wrong to mislead the young, in
matters of education.
In your issue of January 4th,
1900, is found the following: "Did
you ever stop to think what rare
thing the beginning of 1900 WASP
Notice, it was the first day of the
week, month, year, and century"
The objections are 1st-January
1st, 1900. was not the first of the
week. The Christian world recog-
nizes Sunday as the first day of the
week. No people hold Monday
the "first" day of the week. Every
calendar starts every week with
Sunday.
The Christians hold Sunday, the
first day of the week, as the Sab
bath. The Jews hold the seventh
day of the week as the Sabbath.
We have no authority or history
for saying that Monday is the first
day of the week.
End objeotion--January 1st, 1900,
did not start new century as you
state.
We are taught by the matheme-
tioians that it takes 100 years to
make century. Hence, if 100
years make century, the full 100
ears must elapse before a new cen-
tury can begin.
The first century, therefore, end
ed at midnight, December 31st, the
year 100. The second century
commenced the next second after
this time. New Year day, in the
year 1O1, was the first day of the
second century-so on down to the
present.
The year 1900 is the last year of
the 10Th century. Next New Year
(January 1st, 19OD will be the
first day of the goth century. 1t

Good Roads.
Wheeling News.

Wheeling News.
Thomas j. keenan,, of Pittsburg,
the energetic president of the
League of American WI aelmen, is
naturally an ardent advocate of
good roads and proposes to carry
his case before Congress. Through
him a bill will be introduced ap-
propriating So, 100000 for the i'm
provement of public highways
throughout the country. While
the bill may not pass it's aim is an
excellent one and lit will serve to
keep alive the agitation for good
roads and bring the subject more
forcibly to the attention of the peo.
pie. Wheelmen are not the only
people interested in good roads,
though they have fought for them
moro persistently than any other
class. The farmers and merchants
are also deeply interested, and in
faotDeverybody is concerned in a
more or less direct way for the bet
terment of the condition of the
farmer and country merchant will
be felt in other walks of life. Bet
ter roads will be everybody's adj
vantage and they would be partic-
ularly welcomed in West Virginia,
which is noted for it's badly built
and poorly kept highways. We
wish President Kennan all kinds of
luck in his effort to improve the
road systems of the country and
hope that his fondest dreams may
be realized.
