A New Directory.

A new business and professional di-
rectory is being gotten up by The
Jackson Hilder Publishing Company,
of Wheeling, and will be ready for
distribution in about five or six weeks.
The volume will contain the names
and street addresses of the business
and professional men of the cities OF
Wheeling, GAINESVILLE, Marietta and
Parkersburg, also of the intermediate
towns, and will unquestionably prove
to be of great value, both as a book OF
reference and as an advertising med
ium.
Messrs. Crisswell and Davis are
now in the city soliciting for this di-
rectory, and may be seen concerning
advertising contracts, or the firm may
be reached direct. Address The Jack

MASON ON HIMSELF.

Out of his varied assortment of
campaign stories Senator Mason has
selected one of which he will make
much use in his fight for reelection,
which is just beginning. He thinks 1t
exactly covers his own case, and 1t re-
ceived such an applause when he told
it to an Egyptian audience recently
that he hopes his narration will help
mend his political fences materially.
The Senator will use it as 'crusher'
for those who criticise his record at
Washington since 1897.
when Henry Clay was running for
reelection he struck a town in Ken
lucky where there were many former
friends who were opposed to some of
his votes in Congress, and for that
reason thought he should stay at
I'home," said Senator Mason in telling
the story. while making speech
in this neck of the woods an old
mountaineer, who carried a rifle over
| his shoulder, interrupted the meeting
| by roasting Clay and bluntly telling
him he had disappointed his party
and should retire from public life.
Bill, that's a pretty gun you have
| there said Clay to the old hunter,
and you think whole lot of it, don't

Clay's critic, patting his long-barreled
squirrel rifle.

Clay.
On, maybe, once or twice. repied
the hunter.
Why don't you throw the old
shooting iron away, then?' persisted
Clay.
She's done me good service, even
if she has failed me once or twice,
| and | thifk a heap of the'old gun, an
swered the mountaineer.
Well Bill maybe Henry Clay has
| made mistake and missed fire once
or twice, but don't you think you ought
to forgive him and remember what he
tried to do for your asked Clay, and
the mountaineer and his friends saw
the point at once and gave him not
only three cheers, but their votes at
the election.
Now" concluded Senator Mason
drearily 81 think maybe the Illinois
Republicans will treat their Senator as
the Kentuckians did Clay, and give
him another term"
Senator Mason will find that he has
had his hands good and full by the
time our friend and former towns
man Charley Dawes gets through with
him.

The Cain-Lefevre contest for repre-
sentative in the Morgan-Noble joint
legislative district, Is now up to Sec
retary of State Layln, although 1t was
supposed that the action of the joint
election boards giving Mr.. Cain the
nomination, would determine the mat
ter. 1t is possible that the secretary
Of state will decide he has no jurisdic-
ton in the matter, and allow the de-
cision reached by the joint board to
stand. In this connection Judge AL
read, chief clerk of the secretary of
state, said yesterday: THE election
law ought to be amended so as to
cision in such cases. In the Morgan
Noble contention the Morgan county
Republican member of the election
board voted for DR.. Cain. This left
the decision with the Democrats on
the board. This ought to be avoided,
as it does away with the non-partis-
ian feature that should characterize
the work of all election boards. Make
the law so that the decision in joint
districts is reached by men of the
same party as the contestants, and
the objection that in such cases nom
nations might be made by men op-
posed politically to the candidates
would be done away with. Ohio

1t has been generally accepted as a
fact that whiskey destroys microbe
life, but a writer in Leslie's Weekly
Magazine takes the opposite view. He
says that it is aparticular fallacy cher
ishcd by many as to the efficacy of
whiskey or brandy as a germ killer
when added to water supposed to be
infected. The whiskey is assumed to
sterlize the water and make it germ
free. This, it is declared, is abso-
lutely untrue. Whiskey will do moth
ing of the kind. 1t is quite certain
that microbes can live and thrive in
the ordinary mixed drink of whiskey
and water, the average amount of
alcohol in a tumberful of whiskey and
water, in the proportion usually adopt
ed, being not more than 10 or II per
cent. archaeological Investigations
have shown that most germs are not
affected by liquid containing twen-
ty-two per cent. of alcohol, while
their corresponding spores are un-
harmed in SO per cent alcohol Alco-
holic drinks. therefore, cannot be re-
garded as effectual destroyers of mi
crobe life.

A Valuable Sachet Bag.

Almost any housekeeper would be
glad to have a lavender sachet bag
among her Christmas gifts. Our grand
mothers had another fancy-to get the
sweet clover which grows wild almost
everywhere and while it is in blossom
strip the flowers and leaves off the
stems and put them into bags for per-
tuning their clothes. Glover smells
like the new mown hay and keeps its
scent. 1t also reminds one Of the
sweet grass of the Indians. This should
be gathered on a dry day, and from a
big armful of the branches one can
strip a pint or more OF the perfumed
blossoms and leaves. These are to be
dried well and then put into little
bags, preferably made of silk muslin,
as it is better to have porous bag.
Hundreds of ways to make these lit
tie bags will suggest themselves. They
will delight the hearts of the old more
than any other sachet bags that could
be made.

point lace and of delicate pink taffeta
cut in a circle twenty-five inches in
diameter. The center is cut a trife
lager than the chimney of the lamp
and is firmly finished with line of
tape binding. The decoration is so
largely a matter of personal taste and
ability that no set pattern is given,
as those familiar with this kind of
work can suit their taste. The only
thing to observe is that there should
be four lines OF lace applique up the
sides of the shade, border at the top
and as much Of the pretty openwork at
the bottom as possible. Irish point Is
so generally liked and so widely made

Stamped patterns representing horse
racing, football, boating and similar
scenes are prepared and only require
the addition of silk or sateen for the

cushion covers bearing the color of his
