THE PERFUMED WOMAN.

de Goes Into Esctacies Over HeH
Genuine Femininitv.
Il observe" said coarse, brutal
man who doesn't know the difference
between the higher and nobler' and a
load of ash coal, according to the
Washington Post, that the advertising
ends of this months magazines are
publishing a testimonial as to the mer-
it's of certain brand of toilet soap,
written by one CT the ladies who has
been doing her little bit during the
last half century toward securing the
franchise for woman. Her picture Is
run in with the ad and her testimonial
is surely heap fulsome for a volun-
tary contribution. In the course OF
her remarks she says. I abhor per-
fumed woman 1t is to take a short,
jerky biff at this remark that l emerge
from my cave and leap into the fracas.
l love a perfumed woman. l think
perfumed woman is the real thing IN
femininity-the daintily perfumed
woman, who, when she swishes oy
you, has something about her that
makes you vaguely remember the old
honeysuckle covered porch that you
knew a quarter of century ago; VINO
carries with her the suggestion OF
asphodelian dales and starlit meadows.
1t isn't particularly because OF the
elusive, hop-smoky, garden-of-Daphne
fragrance that the perfumed woman
daintily emits that l think she's the
one ana only real thing in long drap-
cries. It's because she typifies the fem

WILL BE HIS OWN HEIR.
Farmer McCutcheon Spending a For
tune Building His Monument.

The highest monument erected by a
private citizen is the manner in which
Farmer James Shannon McCutcheon,
near Brownsville. proposes to dispose
of his wealth. He isn't going to wait
until he is dead, either, and have his
plans defeated by heirs: but he is go-
ing ahead TO put it up during his life
time. He is now 70 years old, and has
always lived near the church in whose
yard his monument will stand.
On a concrete foundation II feet
deep, a shaft So feet at the bottom
and two and one-half feet at the top,
will be erected on the finest Barre
granite in a plain design. A granite
fence will be placed Is feet from the
base OF the monument, the space be-
ing filed in with concrete, with gran
tie shafts at each corner Of the square,
the size to be determined by the
amount Of bis estate remaining after
the other shaft is complete. The work
is to cost $40, 600.
Speaking Of his project, McCutch-
con says: "The money that goes into
this shaft was earned by myself /
have no particular friends that | wish
to give it to, and thought best to put
it in a monument so that the people
who get it will have to earn it as ]
did. The quarry laborers, the stone
cutters. and the railroads will all get
their share. "

OLDEST PROFESSOR,
Judge John W. Mason Enjoys
That Distinction.

Fairmont Jurist Holds an Uaiqne Posi-
ton in Reference to The University.
He Taught the First Quarter eff the
Institutions Life Was First Public
School Teacher in Morgantown.
Judge John W. Mason, Of Fair
mont, claims an unique position as
far as the University is concerned.
He was the first professor in the in
stitutien which is now the Universe
ty While be was teaching in the
Monongalia Academy the transfer
of that institution TO the state took
place. This was in March 1867.
Judge Mason ard J S. Reppert
were..the only teachers in the Aeade.
my at that time and they were con
tinued until June of that year At
the first election Of teachers Judge
Mason decided that he would leave
the profession and practice law He
located in Grafton.
The authorities were anxious for
him to remain but he decided that
there was not enough in the profes-
sioh TO tempt him TO make 1t his life
work. Mr. Reppert was not engaged
as his politics did not suit the board
of regents. Consequently neither of
them remained after the end OF the
first quarter.
Mr.. Reppert has since passed
away leaving to the Judge the dis
tinction Of being the first teacher of
the school and the oldest professor
of the University living.
Judge Mason also taught the first
public school ever taught in Nor
gantown. 1t was during vacation
while he was student at Monenga-
liza Academy. The school was taught
in the summer as there was no place
to hold it during the Winter when
the Academy was in session. In
those days there was not more than
half dozen school houses in Vir-
ginia West of the mountains
Matters in educational circles
have changed greatly since that time
but the Judge likes to look back to
the time when he was actively en-
gagged in the work in this town

WEST VIRGINIA
May Get Another Representative In
Congress As the Result Of the
New Census.

Although the popular mind forgets
1t the primary purpose In taking the
census is TO provide for representation
in Congress. That Is the big question
IN connection with the population TO
be settled at the coming session OF
that body. Three things are to be
considered: The pride OF the states
that have fallen behind Ia the race,
the just claims of those that have
gained, and, lastly, the seating capac-
ity OF the hall Of the House OF Repre-
sentatives. The first will prove the
most important this year, as IL did
decade ago. Undoubtedly the leaders
of the public will undertake to keep
the number OF representatives as near
357, the present number, as possible.
In order to do that they will agree,
first, how many members there shall
be, then how much each state shall
have, and finally, the smallest number
of people that may elect a representa-
tive.
The minimum number under the
last apportionment il 173, 90I. The
general idea is that 200, 900 will be
the figure this year. Using that, ii
would give 313 members, an increase
Of l6, this increase to be divided among
the states showing the largest frac-
tions left over after giving each state
representation on the 200, 900 basis.
That rule would give Pennsylvania
81 representatives an increaee Of one,
but leaving fraction of l0l, 365 to
bid for one OF the prizes, consisting of
an extra member. Under that rule
the following states will gain one each:
Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut,
Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts,
Mississippi, New Jersey, North Dako-
ia, Pennsylvania. Washington and
West Virginia. Illinois, Minnesota,
New York and Texas gain two each.
Kans IS, Maine, Nebraska and Virgin
ia would lose one each.
Geographically the South would gain
six members and the North ten. East
of Ohio and north of Maryland there
would be net gain OF 5. In the
South and Northwest, including West
Virginia there would be net gain OF
six. West Of Ohio and east Of the
Mississippi the only difference is q
gain Of two in Illinois. West of the
Mississippi and North of what were
the Confederate States there is net
gain Of three.
The following states, while not hay-
ing the full ratio, are yet saved from
loss of representation by reason OF
having the larger fractions; Indiana,
Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, South
Carolina and Vermont.

WASHINGTON, Pa, Nov The
rial trip of the travelling postoflice,
'Wagon i. . was made the other day
as per previous arrangement. The
wagon was taken to the Washington
postoflice, and the start made prompt
ly at $3.50 O'Clock. The route follow
ed the old National pike out through
Laboratory, Strabane. Clyde and Odell
arriving at Scenery Hill at 1908 p.
m Dinner was taken~at the Central
house, and at LIS p. m. the wagon
started across country for Cummings
vile. From Dunningsville to Wash
ington the route lay over the Monon-
gahela pike. Washington was reach
ed at o'clock.
The running time Of the wagon was
6 hours and IS minutes, and the dis
lance covered 80 miles making an
average of miles per hour. On the
mail wagon there were Special Agent
e. W Shfiyer and Clerk James o.
Parker in full uniform. Shriver spent
part Of his time inside instructing the
clerk, and the remainder with the
driver learning the topography Of the
country and studying the roads.
In carriage travelled Congressman
and Mrs. e. E. Acheson, Special
Agent and Mrs E. +. Hutches and
Deputy County Treasurer w. H. u
cry. At many places along the road
were crowds of people anxious to see
the novel sight of the first travelling
postoffice pnt in operation in the state
of Pennsylvania At the Nichol
school house, in West Bethlehem
township d flag was flying, ana at 9TH
er points flags were displayed in hon
or Of the occasion.
The people at nearly every point
asked about the workings of the sys-
TEN, and made inquiries regarding
having their mail delivered. All were
instructed that by giving their names
to the agent they can have their mail
delivered each day. The address Of
each person living on the route will
be simply Wagon Route A, Wash
ington, Pa"
The residents along the route SEEM
ed highly elated over the new innova-
tion and had none but pleasant words
for the party. The special agents
were satisfied with the running Of the
wagon and with the time made.
They think that under ordinary cir
cumstances even when mail is carried
and delivered the wagon can make
the trip and arrive at Washington by
o. m. each day.
The people were fully alive to the
importance ofGthe movement. Along
the old highway that since 1927 has
been the track over which have trav-
eled all kinds of strange outfits from
stage coaches and circus canvass to
gypsy trains, there was probably never
carriage or procession that was more
eagerly awaited than the unpreten-
tious little wagon bearing the legend
"Wagon A, Free Rural Delivery, u.
s. Mail"
