That Tired Feeling.

'There's nc doubt about it." says a
prominent vegetarian. "that for endur-
ance. for hard work, ve-getarianism is
the only thing. Do you know why? It
Is because in vegetables you eat no
dredness. In meat or fish or poultry
you eat a great deal of tiredness, and
that is why the meat eater after a.
hearty meal feels lazy and heavy and
disinclined to work. He has absorbed
with his meat a great quantity of uric
acid, and the definition Of URIC acid has
been given by an eminent scientist as
the essence Of tiredness.' He who eats
only vegetables is never tired after q
meal-never."

ECZEMA1S
JTOH IS TORTURE.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
Illumination ; little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off T; sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and assured. Eczema in any
form is a ~tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching aud burning at times are
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Sa1ves, washes MOI other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
1t will keen the skin irritated. 4

The Wheel Burned.

Jimmie Foley waxed poetic and elo
quent and-things like that-over the
burning of the roulette wheel. as follows:
When the day to noon is turning there
will be a wheel burning, when the air
with smoke be filling and the sun as
blood be red; for the court had made its
fiat that the sheriff takes a shy at the
condemned thing now and forthwith and
it must be done as said.
1t was thought appeal might save it.
When the higher court but gave it still
another solar plexis jolt all hope is lost
and gone, and now naught remains but
break it, smash ii, bust it, split ii, take It,
cast it into the flames that make the fire
whose name is bon.
Be it green or red or brindle, table,
cloth and chips and spindle must be fed
into the furnace where the flames un-
ceasing glare, and for fear some slight
may botch it we will stand with care to
watch it, stand and weep and erstwhile
wonder, How much money have we
there"
Bobby Burns day, too! The poet may
look up and murmur GO it! You are
not the only warm thing, I'm perspiring
some down here And the Scottish
bard may wonder as he sees it why in
thunder they should choose with flame
and ember his fond mem'ry to revere.
So to change the rhyme and meter
into something that is sweeter-
Flame on, fame on, thou wheel of fate,
Flame on, thou table strong and great.
Our nickels, dimes, most every bean,
And the fond back whose name is
green,
Our mingled hopes, our smiles, our
tears,
Our summer wages, our signs, our
fears
Are all with thee; are all with thee!

NAY RESIGN.
Wheeling Special Says that General
Smith will Leave the Guard.

The following items are taken from
a Wheeling special 1t is hardly
thought that the one In reference To
General Smith is true. Nothing OF
the kind has been heard here and even
II he did resign 1t il more than likely
that neither Of the men named would
be selected. General Spiilman would
in all probability he selected TO COM
mand the brigade II il comes to
selection Of another than General
Smith. The friends of the latter
hope that there may be no necessity
for long time OF any thing of the
kind however The items are as fol-
lows:
lieutenant Charles G. Dobbins If
Company A, First regiment national
guard, will soon ask permission from
the adjutant generals department to
organize company OF eolored troops
In Wheeling. 1t is his purpose to
raise the company during the winter
and should he be successful, another
company may be formed, the two
forming d separate battalion In the
guard. Already over SO Of the young
colored men la the city have ex-
pressed a desire TO become members.
Owing TO the long and continued
illness of Gen. Clarence l.. Smith,
brigade commander of the national
guard OF the state, ii is stated semi
officially that he will shortly resign.
Gen. Smith was elected last summer
by almost an unanimous vote OF the
officers OF the two regiments and it
was the sincere hope OF all that he
might be permitted TO look after the
guard under the present state admin
istration, but since the encampment
in September, his health has been
gradually failing and he Is now lying
very Ill at his home In Fairmont.
There IL considerable speculation in
military circles as to his probable
successor, and there will be number
OF candidates. Col. A. 81 Hntson,
assistant adiutant general OF the
state, and Maj, G. G. Lewis Of Char
lesion, inspector general OF The guard,
are prominently named for the place.
There are number of others who
would like the honor, but 1t will
hardly go TO one who has not been a
veteran IN the guard.

Hirschman Additi0n-M Meeting to
Take Final Decision will be Held
Shorti
a report has been in circulation
that a party of Plttsburg capitalists
were thinking of erecting summer
hotel on the west side locating it on
the new Hirschman addition. Mr..
Hirschman was asked about the mat
ter and he stated that it was in course
of negotiation and might be accom-
plished.
He says that he cannot give the
names of the parties who are talking
of the matter nor can he promise that
they will do what is proposed but
there is every indication that some
thing will come of it. The agent
whom they sent here said that the
only thing that would keep them
back would be lack of a good road to
the place.
The assurance was given him that
the road would be made all right arly
next season and that shat need lot
stand in the way at all. The sites
inspected were perfectly satisfactory.
There are several knobs in the addi-
tion each Of which would be the
proper place giving a magnificent
view and making an ideal spot for a
summer hotel.
Ii the people decide to come here
they will put upa structure to cost
from forty to fifty thousand dollars
and will have it ready for occupancy
next season. They want a large scope
Of ground and terms will be made
satisfactory to them by Mr.. Hirsch-
man.
The hotel will accommodate two or
three hundred guests. It will face
toward the river and will be of frame
The grounds to surround it will be
laid off into a beautiful park and a
large number of shade trees planted
on it. The people who are interest

meeting shortly TO decide definitely
what they will do.
