Want to Quit West Virginia.

In view of the fact that most of the
municipal measures submitted to the
West Virginia Legislature for the re-
lief of towns in the Panhandle, and
particularly in Wheeling, have been
defeated, citizens have revived the
old scheme for annexation to Penn
sylvania. The Panhandle people say
that they pay two-thirds of the States
taxes, yet every legislature expresses
the utmost disregard of their wishes
The State is divided in sentime MT.
Several years ago matters became so
strained that the Wheeling and Ohio
county authorities appointed com
mission to look into the possibility of
securing annexation to Pennsylvania
to which they say they are bound in
dustrially and commercially.

SUB-CELLAR MOONSHINE.
Revenue Officers Find "A Remarkable Dis
tilIery Near lockwood.

tillery Near lockwood.
Revenue officers raided one of the
most unique stills ever discoyered in
the Allegheny mountains three miles
from lockwood, Pa, few nights
ago. This makes the fourth still cap
tured in that vicinity within a few
weeks. 1t was operated by David
Fletcher.
w. j. Dixon, United States deputy
collector; DR.. David Glider, of Rock
wood, and Nelson Mossboro, of Lis
ties mines, went to the home of
Fletcher. No sign of still could be
found on the first or second stories of
the house. In the cellar the floor
was of wood and this proved to be a
false covering. Under it was com
plete distillery for the making of
moonshine whiskey. The furnace
was modern. The still was large and
complete, with long worm, whose
coils were constantly drenched by
water from "A Mountain spring, gush-
ing out into the grotto. Sections of
stove pipe conveyed the smoke from
this furnace to the chimney of Pletch-
er's house to avoid suspicion.
From the underground still three
was a long passage, four feet wide,
leading through the mountain side to
a huge boulder, where there was a
hidden exit. This afforded Fletcher
means of escape should the house
be surrounded by revenue officers.
In the attack of the house the officers
found 10 gallons of moonshine whis-
key, 80 proof. This the officers took
with them. Dickson, having under
taken the journey on quick notice,
was unprepared with the proper pa
pers, and could not arrest Fletcher,
who was at his home. Fletcher work
ed at j. b. SweitZer's Somerset dis
tillery in the day and operated his
own still in the night. For two years
the still, it is thought, has leen in
operation, as Fletcher was seen dig
ging the tunnel that long ago, when
he said it was for better drainage of
his cellar. Fletcher has been supply
ing all the towns in the vicinity of
lockwood, it is claimed.

You're 1t.


If you're sore
To the core,
With aching bones,
And husky tones
When you speak,
And you're weak
Ia the knees.
And you sneeze,
And often cough
Your head near off;
And you note
That your throat
Feels quite raw,
And your jaw
Feels as if
You'd got a biff,
And dell pains
VeX your brains,
Then you've caught it,
You have got it
It's the grip.
If you feel
The heat steal
Ger your frame
Like a flame,
Till you burn
And you yearn
For chunks of ice
At any price,
Then like a flash
From head to feet,
A chill complete,
And you shake
And you quake,
And there's desire
For a fire
And something hot
Right on the spot
To quickly drink,
And you think
Right there and then
You'll meier be warm again,
Then you've caught it,
You have got it
It's the grip.
It's in the air.
It's everywhere;
The microbe of the grip
It's on another trip,
And up and down,
Through all the town.
By night and day
1t seeks its prey,
And it's the fad
And you are sad,
Or even mad,
Or if you sneeze.
Or cough or wheeze,
Or feel too warm,
Or chills alarm,
To wear look of grim dismay
And hoarsely say:
I've caught it,
I've got it
It's the grip"

A Miser's Generosity.

In provincial French town lives an elderly scientist who Is widely known for this learning, as well as for his extra ordinary avarice. For some years he has been at work on a book, and during all that time he availed himself of the ser vices of young man. who acted as his
 secretary, without pay, and solely be- cause he was interested in science.
 The book was published recently. and. as it proved great success. the author s wife tried to make him understand that he ought to give his young secretary some token of gratitude. Of money there was
 no question, but she pointed out to him that the secretary admired very muuch
 an antique vase. which was very beauti-
 full though of no great intrinsic value and which was one of the ornaments ir the scientists. study. and she suggested that he offer 1t to him as gift.

Women of the Nile.
BY HARRY Al ARMsTRoNG.


 Many mysteries are hidden by the mud dy waters of the Nile, as those who live along it's shores well know. And there is little wonder in this. for Egypt Is old ar than all history, and the customs are handed down from generation to genera tion. and the stories of ancient lore are forever told to the children. The Nile has swept across. thes lives of this pen- ple and has crowded their minds with superstition as it filled the iowlands with abundance.
 Mahomet knew these stories as the American boy knows the tale of Blue beard and all the legends of the Ara bian Nights" He told us of the women of the Nile as we crossed the bridge over the river at Cairo in the gray dawn of a June day. Below us lay the stream black as night, with the hills on one side and the valley on the other. Piled up against the s.de of the bluffs were houses and they stretched off into the distance. How many of them there were or how far they reached we could only guess Mahomet sat on the seat with the driver as we rolled out toward the great pyra- mid. and pointed out to us the custom house. where the caravans of camels were headed.

vornan was sacrificed every year to the Nile. This was to please the gods and persuasie them to send down much wa ter and wet the lowlands of the valley during the month of June.
 The priests each year went forth into the streets where the temples stood and cast lots among those they met. If the talismen fell upon young woman. then that one had to stand before the dam al, Cairo and meet the waters as they dashed through the opening made by the king. .. It came aboue that the talismap fell upon Nitocris one year. And the heart of the king was filed with sadness. for he loved the maiden so chosen; she was comedy and learned and a princess. of the blood. But Nftocris was brave and faced her fate as one who feared not death and was willing to sacrifice her life that all the people of the valley and all the peo- ple of Egypt might be blessed. Her friends came to her, and one offered to save her by fleeing far away into a dis tant country. But Nitocris shook her head. The fates had chosen her fer the victim, and no one should deny here the | honor. 1 ss sg
 So the preparations Tor the cutting of the dam went on. Every day the crier passed through the streets, as he does to | this day, telling in quaint old chan' the increased depth of the stream. until | one night he cried "Wefa en Neel," mean ing the completion or that the water In the reservoir was high enough. Nito' cris heard this cry in the middle of the
 night, and, with her maidens. began heI
 song to the stream, and told the God ot l Waters the needs Of the people of th' valley.
 Daylight came. And it was the da. that the dam had to be cut and the wa l ters let down into the valley. The kinl ! sent word that he could nots preside ove
 the ceremonies. and that this wor'
 should be done by his grand vizier.
 ! That day two carts drove up in iron of the dam. In one was strange mai ! and queer object. In another ,stoo l alone the victim of the waters, beauti full. defiant. The word was spoken. Yh l grand vizier stopped over his shovel | and in few moments a little strean

 There Is great effort being made to bring back the sensible short skirt for walking gowns, but as yet the attempt has not been universally successful, for it must be admitted that no short skirt ever looks so chic as a long one and is not nearly so becoming.
