MISCELLANEOUS
Self Education.
N. H. D. WILSON.


Much is being said just now en-
Education, and surely North Carroll
ma needs to be awakened. Something
must be done speedily to give every
child an opportunity to secure the
elements of an education, and some
thing must as surely be done to pre-
vent the ignorance-or selfshness of
parents from defrauding the chill
dren. But the most schools and col
leges can do is to give the beginnings
of an education. Even those who
have enjoyed the best advantages in
schools must therefore press forward
by self education. On the other
hand, such are the privileges and OPP
portunities of the day, that the most
ignorant need not despair: I write
this to entreat the reader whose mis-
fortune or whose youthful fault has
prevented his securing an education
in the schools to take heart and enter
with vigor and system upon the work
of self-education.
"I have not the time" It is mar
velous what a very little time it takes.
A few minutes given to real study
each day will work wonders, and one
will soon be able by reason of i'm
proved intellect to accomplish more
of regular business in less time. 81
am too poor to get the books" That
was once a possible objection but not
now. The latest novel may cost a
great deal but well-bound, welI-print-
ed standard works may be had for a
half dollar.
"What shall 1 study" Note that
I do not say, "read." Mere reading
does not educate. 1t may refresh
and enrich the mind but self-educa-
ton demands study, intense applica-
ton to books which demand the
whole mind. Of course just what
each one should read or study will
depend upon many circumstances. In
every community will be found some
one capable and willing to guide the
ambitious reader until a guide is no
longer needed. 1t will be a real
pleasure to your pastor, or to the
teacher in your community, or to the
friend of culture to aid you. Apply
to them.
Concluding, let me suggest that
every argument practical, financial,
or moral which proves the impor-
lance of better opportunity for the
children to secure an Education"
proves likewise the Importance of
your continuing your mental enlarge
ment. In this sense as in the other,
the educational question is a moral
one. To you is entrusted a mind
capable of great development. To
let it lie in a napkin is a crime
against yourself and a sin against
God. Beware!

hardest work"
Gertrude and Ned looked at each
other in dismay. "Will just one
grumble mean that we shall observe
Grumble dayP' asked Ned.
Gone grumble is enough" said
mother, "when we have so much to
be thankful for.n
docs everybody have to go with
out because one person grumbles 2"
asked Gertrude.
"Do you think it would be polite
for part of us to eat more and have
a greater variety han the Others"
said mother, "even if we deserved
morep
"This is jolly good steak" said
Ned, without waiting for Gertrude
to reply.
"Yess, too good for Grumble day."
said father as he slyly slipped an
other piece on Ned's plate.
At dinner they had plain meat and
potato with no dessert, and for sup
per brown bread and milk; but the
children made no complaint. They
knew that mother could be relied
upon to carry out what she under
took.
That night Ned and Gertrude
made a solemn VOW not to- make one
word of complaint ever again.
Next morning Ned, being in a hur-
~, took a large spoonful of hot &C.
real in his mouth. He swallowed it
with a gulp.
"Phew!" he exclaimed, "that oat-
meal is" here Gertrude kicked him
under the tablets lovely and hot"
he added, and the family laughed.
They both remembered after that,
and for three days no complaint was
heard in the family. They were both
sure that they were completely cured
of grumbling. They were so sure of
it hal one of them forgot.
Dread rolls" whined Gertrude.
"I'm sick of them; why don't we ever
have w~af1es9" Then she clapped her
hand over her mouth. Ned was look
ing inexpressibly Disguised.
"But the bread rolls are lovely and
light" she added cheerfulIy.
"Too late," said mother, and they
had another Grumble day.
That night mother talked it over
with them. II want to give you just
what you like BEST" she said, "pro-
vided it is good for you. I try very
hard to plan for your favorite dishes,
and / am very glad to have you sug-
gest things thaS you would like. But
when everything is served and it is
impossible to change it for anything
different, complaint does no good,
and it certainly does the complainer
harm"
Three or four Grumble days com
pletely cured Ned and Gertrude, and
now Gertrude says, "Why, we have
Thanksgiving day every day in the
year!'-Selected.

STEPHEN B. ELKINS JR.
Son of The West Virginia SEN
ator
Is Reported to be Engaged to Edna
Wallace Hopper the Actress He is
at Her HOme-She Denies it.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July al
Stephen B. Elkins, Jr., is the guest
of Edna Wallace Hopper at her
country place, near San Leandro.
Elkins IS a son of United States
Senator Stephen b. Elkins, OF West
Virginia With his brother Rich
ard he arrived in San Fraeciseo
from New York "a week ago about
the same time the actress returned
from Vancouver. Rumor promptly
had them engaged When Miss
Hopper was in the city she stayed
at the Palace Hotel where young
Elkins put up, and as they were
seen together great deal in the
grill room and on the way to San
Leandro, rumor refused to be silent
in the face of positive denials by
the persons concerned.
Elkins gave up his apartments at
the Palace yesterday, and went over
the bay to the actress summer home
where her attorney, Judge Cohn, of
of Chicago, is also visiting 1t was
there last night that Miss Hopper
again denied the rumored engage
ment.
MIR Elkins is only a friend, and
l shall meyer marry again. The
stage is my life work, and | intend
to stay with it as long as can
act.

Convention Echoes.

Why did they not do their nomi-
mating at Fairmont and save ex-
penses?
1t took the Marion county dele
gates long time to find out what
had struck them, when Monongalia
failed to show up at the convention.
There are Swishers and Swishers,
and when election time rolls around
c. w. may find his name is Dennis
instead of Swlsher.
Ed Heermans was probably not
as happy as he was just after the
Monongalia county primary cleo
ton.
The Taylor county delegates had
very significant and similar swing
of the right arm. They must all
belong to the same lodge.
If the Marion county bosses get
rebuke at the polls this fall, they
need not be surprised.
You can not always beat down
the claims of Monongalia county to
recognition in the councils of the
state. Marion county republicans
have done more to imperil the party
in few short months than Monon-
gala county did In her whole career.
Dir. Fitch was present, but con-
spicuous by his silence
There was lots Of shouting for
meeting where there is no contest,
but most of it was of forced nature.
A wordy scrap in front of the ho
tel Peabody between some promi
nent members OF the party came
near causing a public row.
Monongalia and Marion republi
cans are barely on speaking terms.
What they say about each other
does not always look well in type.
The convention may have been
illegal but how are you going to de-
feat it? There is one way. Politi-
clans often resort to it.
Yes, Doc Hall was there
The band might have been left at
home and saved expense, but we en-
! joyed it's visit very much.
Scott don't seem to be the whole
thing, even among the Swisher men.
Elkins can probably get the en-
dorsement for president two years
from now If he applies for it to
| Charley Swisher's delegation.
II Chas. W. Swisher ever darkens
the walls of the state senate, it will
probably be when some other Swish
ers we know, and one Geo. G. Stur-
| giss have passed off of the politi-
cal stage. Monongalia county may
be down, but she has the happy fac
ulty of knowing how TO get up in
emergency cases.
One Fairmont delegate finally
found his head sufficiently to make
a conciliatory motion for the news
paper men.
! Fairmont can come down here to
! hold her convention every time II
she wants to. Morgantown is a
safer convention city than her Ii
censed neighbor.
