A WELL KEPT FARM.

TyGarts Valley News.
An aged citizen of Elkins last August
visited an old time friend at Parsons,
who lives on farm. They have been
intimate friends since early manhood
and each has taken a lively interest
in the welfare of the other, but for
several years neither had visited the
other. The Elkins citizen was so i'm
pressed with the evident prosperity of
his Tucker county friend that he has
given the News an account of it. from
which We take the extracts below to
show young men in the country the
possibilities of life spent on the farm
Our correspondent says: My friend is
SO years old and his wife is ST. and
both are in fairly good health and work
every day more or less. All their lives
they have gone to bed at 8 o'clock and
got up at 5. They have raised a fam
lily of seven children, the youngest of
which is now SO years old They have
a small farm of 120 acres. upon which
they settled in 1874, when it was all in
virgin forest. 1t is now nearly all
cleared out and produces as good crops
as when first cleared, so carefully has
it been handled. The corn crop this
year will yield about 80 bushels of ears
to the acre. An orchard of sugar
trees, about 200. until recently yielded
about 700 pounds of sugar a year, be-
sides 80 gallons of syrup.
AN orchard of 200 bearing apple
trees, some of which were planted 30
years ago, produce more apples than
ne can find sale for and large quantities
are rottinS on the ground. Besides, he
has a peach orchard, a pear orchard,
fruit which keeps until February and a
small vineyard, which is very product
i've. Added to all these are raspberries,
blackberries. prunes, ounces. etc.
He lives in a six-room, two-story old
fashioned log house, surrounded by a
good barn and out building and fruit
cellars.
by careful economy he has been able
to save some money which he has loan
ed at a good rate of interest. He Gull
tivates his farm with improved ma
chinery and avoids the drudgery that
was unavoidable during his earlier
years. He has an ideal situation to
close a busy and well spent life"

WOMAN POLITICS.

Some of New York's society women
who have taken up politics as new
social fad and who have been "slum-
ming" in the interests of Seth Low.
we're given a plain talk the other d7y by
one OF their own candidates, Justice
Jerome. whom the lady politicians in
yited 70 address them.
The Justices address was not what
they expected. at all. He told them
to abandon their idea of going below
Fourteenth street with their peculiar
plan of campaign. The people there,
he declared, have quite as much pride
as you have and perhaps know more
about the issues of the campaign than
you do You go down there in your
carriage, with your coachman on the
box. wearing your new fall bonnet
and says: We're so interested in good
government You will have your
husband vote for Mr.. Low when he
comes home won't you? Here are
these tracts / don't know exactly
what they are about but they will
help you some Why. you lose more
votes in tenement houses in a day than
We can make in week"
Can it be that Justice Jerome is
working slick scheme to run
ahead of his ticket by exciting the hos
tility of the lady politicians?

No Check to Demand for steel.

, Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The ground swell of demand for
the year 1902 which has seized and
overcome the rail mills of this country
and riven the producing capacity of
car builders. goes right on IN its mis-
sion of conquest. and has this week
made sport of the furnacemen." says
Iron and Steel, the organ of the west
ern iron trade. There have been large
local transactions for pig iron, deliv-
cries for some of them running through
the whole of the calendar year 1892
and the whole reaching an aggregate
of over $4,000 tons. The spreading out
of trade in metals, both in time and
departments, is one of the gratifying
features of the week. for 1t adds a fresh
and strong testimonial to the probable
merits of 1902 as a business year. The
future slowly unfolds week by week
and the vista gains steadily in interest
to the individual who stands for indus
trial growth.
"Billets are stronger and scarcer
than week ago, another significant
sign. The numerous nail wire, sheet
tin plate and other mills which, espe-
cially in the Pittsburg region, have
been springing into paper or actual ex-
istence latterly, do not. as a rule make
steel, but they depend upon the few
large steel producers for their supplies
The scarcity and strength of billets is
not so much the result of purchases
by these small consumers as of the con-
sumption of billets by the producers
themselves. The large producers are
not only not selling bllets. but are
even buying when possible, to fill their
own needs.
Consumption of iron and steel in
the west shows no abatement and the
advent of some new orders from unex-
pected sources is a further promise of
continued activity A surprise is the
continued heavy demand for sheets
The high store prices at Chicago, Incl
dent to the big strike. have great ten

work they can do for months to come,
and are steadily booking orders. The

Modtsh Travelling Coats.

A handsome and original model of a
travelling coat seen recently was in
rich brown frieze, the sleeves lined
with yellow and brown check satin.
The coat. which was double-b breasted,
reached to the feet and was drawn in
at the back with strap buckled on
either side with two gun-metal and
steel buckles. and one of these finish
ed the strap-shaped collar Buckles
also appeared on the bell sleeves as a
finish to the strap round the edge.
while the buttons were about the size
of fiorin and of gun-metal and steel

c-et- tweed was lined with black and
RED had three neatly stitched cape col
lars with storm collar and cuffs of
astrachan. The fast Snings down the
fronts were just straps and buckles.

AN OHIO SERMON on WALL STREET.

At the meeting of the Ohio Bankers
Association in New York, the president,
j. C. Reber, of Cincinnati, in his an
nual address paid his respects 10 Wall
street in no uncertain terms. The
great American Monte Carlo does not
meet the approval Of the Ohio financier
and he thinks it should be suppressed,
or at least regulated. After reminding
the delegates Of the historic fact that
periods of depression follow epochs
of prosperity. President Reber intimat-
ed that it would be in the line OF pro-
gress to place in retirement the Wall
street stock exchange, which he refer
red to as the greatest existing menace
to prosperity. He referred TO reckless
speculation as producer of panics and
inquired why it would not be as rea-
sonabe for the United States Steel Cor
poration to ask the United States treas
ury for financial assistance as for the
bulls and bears of Wall street to do so.
The banks in the clearing house, he
thought, should take steps to control
the stock exchange. He spoke of the
organization of great trusts and corpor-
atoms and their relation to prosperity
and banking, and stated that their or
ganization is anything but a benefit to
the smaller cities and towns, since
when the independent plants are
bought up their accounts are transfer
red from the home banks to New York
and Chicago.
The Ohioan's remarks. especially his
condemnation of the baneful influence
which Wall street spectators WELD
on legitimate industry. are very much
to the point Stock gambling is gil
gantic American evil and it has been
shown that not infrequently great cap
tains of industry have found it more
profitable to manipulate stocks and run
their industries from the Wall street
end than in legitimate business way
just as the late Jay Gould frequent
ly found more profit in wrecking than
in building up his railroads.
More outspoken men like President
Reber, of the Ohio Bankers Associa-
ton. are needed in the financial world.
