HE IS STILL IN THE DARK

1t was just after dinner in the West End, and the man who had been sit tin$ next to the young woman with the Beautiful arms and neck thought tnat ne was the most fortunate indi- Nluual in the room. He said all the bright things he could bring to mind and was congratulati ting himself that he was keeping up his end of the con- versation fairly well, when the young woman began to display signs of nerv- ousness. She gaZed around the room as if looking for an avenue of escape, moved uneasily in her seat and al lowed two or three jokes to pass her by without making it evident that she recognized them. Astonished and half alarmed. the man looked at her in- quiringly, and, meeting his look, she said:
 Il am in misery"
 Tn misery?' echoed the man.
 'Ies,' she replied. II was yaccin- ated the other day and it has taken beautifully. l could scream, it hurts so.''
 The man looked at the beautiful arms and seeing no mark there. said:
 Why. where were you vaccinate ?"
 '1n New York;" she replied, with q smile.-St Louis Star.

WORLDS LARGEST HOP YARDS


 In Sonoma. Sacramento, Man1ocino Alameda. Yolo, Yuba and san Joaquin counties hops are extensively and sue cessfnly grown. The plantations of the state combined would form one enormous area of 1900 acres, q far reaching expanse of valley land nearly twelve miles square and containing more than 9,O00,0OO hop vines. yielding in favorable season almost g., o,OOO ,OOO worth of dried hops.
 Ii is not generally known, but the largest hop yards in the world are in California along the Sacramento, Rus sian and Feather rivers, and the big gast hop field on earth is at Pleasanton. in Alameda county, where there are 368 acres with more than 445, ,OO0 vines under one wire.
 As the picking must all be done by hand and within the short season when the blossoms are at their best. an army of people has to be suddenly mustered for the harvest. The mild climatic conditions that favor the development of the hop and the pleasant inland val leys where it is grown combine to make hop picking something of sum- mer time delight. for the work Is neith- CT difficult CT arduous and the pay is fair.
 There are but two drawbacks to hop-picking. One is so called hop poisoning. which is simply a sort of prickly heat or rash, sometimes pro- duced by contact of face and arms with the nettle-like fuzz on the stalks of the hop vine. It does not affect all pickers. The other is the dark stain ing of the hands. resulting by rubbing with the crushed green leaves of the hop.-San Francisco Chronicle.

RICH 6 POOR
&AlLQMl5

Itching Piles is one of the most persistent plaques that the world has ever known. Men and women old and young, rich and poor suffer alike, and for ages it was generally believed that there was no cure for the exasperating malady. Now and then preparations have ap- peared that would relieve the itchiness temporarily, but that was all. There seemed to be absolutely no real cure.
 That is all changed now, however. Doan's Ointment will cure Piles, whether itch ing, protruding or bleeding. It is also a safe and absolutely sure cure for eczema and all other itching diseases of the skin. Deans Ointment is a pleasant, harmless, and abso- lutely sure remedy for all itch ing diseases of the skin.

THE MYSTIC LORE OF RINGS.

Qulte one of the prettiest legends connected With finger rings is that told Of the Great Charlemagne In his youth he fell madly in love with a young and beautiful woman, and gave hlmseif up to her society to the entire exclusion of state affairs. One by one hls ministers vied with each other in arguing, persuading and advising him as to the folly of his conduct, but one and all failed to disenchant him. At last the lady died, and Charlemagne, lnconsolable at his great loss, spent hours gazing upon her dead body in such transports of grief and love that his cOunSellors were more than ever determined that some magic was being worked upon him. The clergy were then called to his rescue and eXhorted Charlemagne by mystic rites to leave the body. Entreaties and arguments were alike useless, when the Arch bishop of Cologne, an ecclesiastic cele- brated for his successful dealings with spells and all kinds of witchery, ap- preached the corpse and took from the mouth of the maiden a beautiful ring. est With a precious stone Of matchlesS value. This was evidently the taliS- man which had cast a spell over the monarch. and directly it was removed he appeared to regain his senses. The afcnDlShop wisely determined that so dangerous d gem should not run the risk of doing further danger and flung the ring into q lake near AiX-la-Cha- belle, so that no one should obtain pos session of so potent charm. Charle- magne, however. then became so enamoured of the lake that his great est joy was to walk along its banks for hours together, and eventually he built d gorgeous palace on it's banks, which always remained his favorite resi- dence. Apart from legends, the whole history of finger rings is woven about with quaint superstitions and customs, whose meaning or reason 1t Is well nigh impossible to guess. Far back across the ages we know that accord ing to the old Scandinavian mythology the Morse gods wore broad rings of red gold fashioned by the dwarfs, or workers in the mountains. Some of these were quaintly twisted, whilst others were engraved with Scandl- navian forms and myths. and very fayorite ring was q coiled snake, a style much in vogue to the present day. These old Morse snake rings. however. were different to those of nowadays, in so much that instead of the snake curling tightly together as is now the case it coiled loosely right up the finger. the head resting on the fngernail. These were only worn on the little finger. ag. Of course, It was impossible to bend whichever finger it was worn upon.-Exchange. !

Episode in New York Which Con-
 foundS the Anti Vaccinationists.


 A mail carrier was discovered three weeks ago ill the Melrose lodging mousse on upper Third avenue, New Aork, to be suffering from smallpox lie was at once removed to North Brother Island, and the health board oihclals proceeded energetically to vac clnate everybody in the building. Most CT those who had been so closely ey- posed 10 infection promptly and glad " submitted 10 the Denefcent rite. A lew threading a temporary inconven- lence more than they feared the pos slDll1ty of smallpox, objected to the operation, but they were soon per suaded into acQuiescence. Only two occupants of the house, Patrick Joyce and Edward Muller were at once ir- horant and obstinate enough to re- Slst all argument and as absolute com pulslon could not be used, they had 10 be left unprotected. Ten days there after Muller developed the disease rom which his fellow lodger had suffered. and the next day Joyce was attacked by it. Of the many others Who were equally endangered, not one mas yet shown the first signs of in- lection. If this episode is not sufficient answer to the anti-vaccinationists they must be left in their darkness hefe IS, Of course. a mathematical possibility that the selection by the dis ease Of the two men who had not been Vacclnated, and it's avoidarce of all those who had been, merely formed a curious coincidence, but the chance that this is so is too small for ordinary human consideration. As mortal cer- Ialntles go, it is certain that Joyce and Muller would not be in the smallpox hospital to-day if they had availed themselves of the precautiOn to which their companions more or less willing ly submitted. It is also certain that the absence of compulsory vaccination law is source of public peril. These men did more than voluntarily accept a personal risk. They put others as well as themselves in danger-The Sanitarian.

Closing of Basic City School.

The closing exercises of the Basic
City School, which was held in the
Odd Fellows Hall Tuesday afternoon,
was marked success. The children,
having assembled at the school-house,
marched with their teachers to the
hall, where they found a house full of
people in waiting AS they passed
down the aisle, the organist, Miss
Loula Page, played beautiful march.
After singing Columbia, :" the school
was lead in prayer by Rev. H. P. Nc
Clintic. Between the opening address,
read by Miss Mary Burgess and the
closing, read by Miss LOWE RUBBISH,
the exercises consisting of recitations,
songs, essays, and dialogues, was
varied and interesting. The children
acquitted themselves with credit,
and the school was highly compliment
ed. All expressed themselves much
pleased with the entertainment.
Just before singing the closing sang,
DR.. Griffith, with appropriate remarks,
presented cards Of promotion to those
entitled to them, and delivered the two
medals offered by the Principal for
scholarship and composition to Misses
Mary Burgess and Ethel Rogers, re-

Early Monday morning the people
of Basic were aroused by the fire bell.

Greenville May Mrs. Bette Beard,
wife of Jas E. Beard, died at her home

diseases incident to old age on last

cessful singing class here Friday even
ing with concert, to which the pub
lie were invited. The large Baptist
church was crowded, and the enter
tainment consisted of solos, duets,
quartetts, etc. While all the singers
rendered their parts well some pieces
deserve special mention. A solo by
Miss Birdie Steele entitled Leaf by
Leaf the Roses FALL" was sung so
sweetly that critics say 1t was equal to
many pieces they had heard by profess
SIGNALS. Warwick Shultz sang a solo
that elected marked applause. A duet
by Misses Peyton Hawpe and Dell
Bowers deserves more than special
mention, in fact it was far above the
average. Prof. Wright says this was
one of the best schools he ever taught,
and we are glad to note the great in
terest manifest in this much neglected
part of culture.

A Letter From Hon. Edward Echols.
To the Citizens of Augusta county all
the CitV Of Staunton.

To the Citizens of Augusta county and
the City of Staunton:
The time which L have necessarily
been forced to devote to my guberna-
torial canvass in the more distant parts
of the State has prevented me from
personally presenting my candidacy to
all my friends In this county, but the
assurances of cordial support which
have come to me from Augusta county
friends have been beyond all compari
son the pleasantest feature of my cam
paign.
My ambition to receive this honor is,
| think, laudable one, and l assure
you, that in the event of my nomina-
ton and election it is my purpose, to
give my most earnest efforts, and such
talent as [ possess, to the best interests
of Virginia and her people.
I feel deeply grateful to my home
people for the political preferment W ith
which l have been honored at their
hands, and my unbounded confidence
in the sincerity of their friendship and
their loyalty encourages me in the as
surance of their cordial aid and CO.
operation in my efforts to secure the
nomination.
1t is only short time now before
the naming of delegates to the conven-
ton Will be commenced in the various
counties.
In State conventions the delegation
from Augusta has always been force
full factor, and confidently count up
on it as tt strongest influence l Will
be able to bring to bear in my contest,
which seems to hold out to me graft
flying assurances of success.
| will esteem it a great favor to re-
celve any suggestion you may deem
wise to offer me. and will be thankful
to you for any effort you may make in
my behalf. am, with great respect,
Yours, very truly,
