emphstically refused Our city is certainly be-
vord that day and point, when we are called on
to give bonuses. The dead and overgrown towns
some OF the parties visiting can well AFFORD TO
offer. and have offered them much larger bonuses
bnt what else have they to offer? We have "gas to
burn" they talk gas. Following up the plants
which have located in other cities in our state
after having first looked carksburg over as a
proper location regardless of talk, they are all
sorry they did not accept terms offered here. If
YOU do not believe this ask some of them Manu-
factprers should bear this in mind, when they are
seeking locations and remember that Clarksburg
has much more to offer in the way Of inducements
than bonuses.

A DECLINE.

PLETED CONSTITUTION IS

Vinol acts upon the stomach in a
beneficial way, enabling it to obtain

as many railroad men do, with kidney

lows:
my kidneys troubled me great
deal, my bowels were very irregular,

appetite, could not sleep nights, and
was losing flesh rapidly. ! began to

My kidneys are better, my bowels are

thirteen pounds You can count On
me always to recommend Vinol as the

ceased to beat because of suspense over the
imminent death of the first lady of the land, but
to-day is throbbing with joy over her rapid and
marvellous recovery. Every citizen holds Mrs.
William Mckinley in not only that tender
regard American chivalry generates but also in
that warm affection the alteration Of noble woman
hood gives. No man and woman ever occupied the
White House. whose domestic life has ELECTED more
widespread admiration and commentator than
President William Mckinley and his wife. Theirs
has been the model, American home, with all its
simplicity. sanctity and love. Not in public life
alone has this devotion one to the other Obtained
but from the time they stood upon the hymeneal
altar has their love one for the other governed
them and inspired them to fame. Truly. if Nc
Kney as president be not close to some he is near
and dear to all as husband, and Mrs. Mckinley as
first lady OF the land and as wife worthy Of emu

A Bears Gratitude.

A Turkish paper from Castamboul
reports the following story, which it
declares to be authentic. It puts An
drocles and his lion completely in the
shade. A hunter heard dreadful
groans coming from behind a bush,
and on approaching saw a large bear
lying on the ground waving his paw
in the air and groaning. On examin-
ing the paw the hunter found that
many thorns were embedded in it.
He Immediately set to work and ex-
tracted them, the bear remaining
quite quiet. When he had finished
the animal showed its joy by dancing
round him, after which it made a
sign" to the man to follow it, and
led him to a tree. The bear then
stood up against the tree and put
it's head into a hole, and made a
sign to the man to do likewise.
When he looked in he saw the tree
was hollow and full of honey, and was
able to get from it 80 okes (about
go pounds, which he took home

WAYS OF CATCHING COLD.

A Physician Tells of the Danger of Be-
coming Chilled or Damp.
The various ways in which a cold
may be brought on are thus described
by a physician: "a little knife blade
of air blowing in through a crack in
a window upon some part Of the body
will chill that part, and the blood yes.
sells of that region will become con-
tracted, affecting somewhere in the in.
terror Of the body an area in reflex
relation with this portion Of the sur.
face of the body.
For instance, the blood vessels Of
the skin of the top of the shoulders
and the chest are associated with the
blood vessels of the lungs, so that
whatever happens to the blood yes,
sells of the skin of the shoulders and
chest happens also to the blood ves-
sells of the lungs. If there is a contrac,
ton of the blood vessels Of the back
of the neck, there will be a contraction
of the blood vessels of the
top Of the shoulders and the
SuUulucE DidGCS there Will also
be a contraction of the blood vessels
of the lungs. When the influence of
the cold is continued, this contraction
is followed by congestion.
when n puts his hands into cold
water for a few minutes, they are first
pale and then red. This Is reaction.
The longer the application and the
more intense the degree of cold the
greater will be the contraction and the
congestion. So if the back of the
neck is exposed for a long time to the
influence Of cold. n is likely to have
a cold in the nose and throat. If the
shoulder blades and the tops of the
shoulders are exposed, one is likely to
take cold in the lungs and suffer from
of the lungs. If the cold
is long continued. it may cause not
only a congestion, but an Inflammation
of the o Or the lungs.
so if the bottoms of the feet be.
come wet or chilled a weakness of the
bladder may result IL there has yer
been a trouble there, OF a weakness
of the stomach If there has been o
catarrh of that organ.

The Psych oIogy of Pity.

A recent study of the emotion of
pity has been made by Professor G.
Stanley Hall and F. H. Saunders by
means of O set Of questions distribu-
ted among a number of school chill
dren and adults. It was found that
hunger in some form seemed to be
that which excited the deepest pity
in most of those questioned, and in
the case Of the poorer children this
proved to be almost invariably the
ase "The children of the poor who
know what hunger is in their own
experience have far quicker and more
effective sympathies in the direction
of pity for the starving than children
who have eve felt the pangs of
appetite themselves. Most people in
civilized life know almost nothing of
the very poignant suffering due to
lack Of food, and adults have little
conception of the pain and distress
which children feel from hunger.
With the young it Is very definite,
sharp and localized distress that may
rise to the intensity of agony and an
guish. At its strongest it may call
out all the forces of the struggle for
survival and prompt the best chill
dren or adults to theft, petty of great,
to forceful robbery and to mutual
slaughter and cannibalism. When we
reflect that the great MAJORITY of
animals find their grave in the NAV
of other animals. and that the strug-
gle for survival has been largely for
food, we a understand that it
speaks well for the race that ply in
this field, even for those of an alien
race and at a great distance, who
suffer from famine, is so effective.
To feed the hungry is one of the
primal works of charity, and a virtue
without its own benson.

PEARLS OF

A promise should be made by the
heart and remembered by the head.
He Is young enough who has health,

Poetry is the frolic of invention.

If a man could read his own biog-
raphy 1t would, perhaps, surprise him

He Is blessed over all mortals who

Success is full of promise till men

Evil thoughts swarm only in I'M

things, if you would be saved from the

When thou wouldst help another,
study to please, not thyself, in. the do
ing,but him thou seryest. So shall thou
be unselfish indeed.
Life is apt to be a little hard on the
woman who idealizes a man until he
loses all semblance of reality, for ex-

No one can eve nourish within him

without experiencing a gradual re-

We are just as distinct one from an
other in thought and feeling as in face

them into line with those of some
class Or party or circle with which we

A Friday Sunerstitinn.

A few days ago Mr.. H. Mcpherson,
inspector of the poor, visited Aharacle
In order to superintend the removal
of the 10 selected female paupers to
the new cottages. They all occupied
houses which were in a wretched
state of disrepair, yet each of them
resolutely and peremptorily refused
to "fit." In vain did the inspector
dilate on the increased comfort and
conveniences to be enjoyed in the new
dwellings. The aged danes were in.
vincible proof against all argument
nor did threats of compulsion and
sheriff's warrants have any terror for
them. At length it was elected that
the disinclination to remove was
based simply on superstition. The

An American woman has had the
courage to assert that her sisters have
unpleasant voices. She is undoubtedly
right in this, though mere men have
seldom dared to say it, relates the
Providence Journal. The climate can
not be wholly responsible. Many
voices originally rough or shrill have
been trained into harmony. The
trouble is that voice culture is shock
ingly neglected in modern schemes of
education. Besides. the assertiveness
of the modern woman leads her to
speak too loudly. The "%shrieking sis
terhood' is a literal as we'll as a fgur-
