BORNIN THE COUNTRY
NO BOY NEED EVER BE ASHAMED
OF 1T.
Daily Contact with Nature Gives
Health, Happiness, Purity and Peace,
and What Is There that Is More
Worth Striving Forf

No boy need ever regret that he was
born in the country and reared on
farm, says former Secretary Of Agri-
culture ]. Sterling Morton in the Con-
servative. He may lack the keenness
and polish of his city cousin. He may
be embarrassed by his own awkward
ness and feel that he is at hopeless
disadvantage in the race, but the coun-
try boy has the advantage of WIDER
range of practical ideas. From the very
first his little services are in demand.
He becomes at once part Of the force
that Is making for home comfort ana
prosperity and feels the independence
of one who is helping to support him
self and add to the general store.
The country boy is likely to regard
his life as one Of drudgery, and such 1t
may be if he loses interest in his sur
roundings or is pressed with a contin-
ued round of duty.
There is something heroic in the
country boys struggle with the ele-
ments. Rain and snow and sleet only
brace his courage. The garnering Of the
crops, the housing and feeding Of the
domestic animals, the gathering and
preparation of the winter fuel, give
purpose and zest to his toll.
Then there is the long tramp, some
times Of miles, to the district school;
lessons learned before and after long
hours of labor Is it any wonder there
are keen wits developing all outside of
graded systems and in defiance of peda-
gogical order? 1t is the intensity Of
purpose with which the mind acts I'M
der the influence of vigorous health
and the conscious value of time that &C
counts for these results. So from the
farms is being supplied stream of &C
tive world workers-men not afraid to
do their duty and bubbling over with
energy and ambition.
From the little red schoolhouses come
into our colleges and schools Of higher
grade aspiring youth. Some are seek
ing an education as means OF eman-
cipation from the drudgery Of labor.
Others come with a true thirst for
knowledge. They find their way into

few 60 back to the farm.
What an ideal thing it would be for
the young men trained in science and
holding the key to natures mysteries
and beauties to go back to live, broad,
cultured and quiet lives in the midst of
the most delightful environment in
which God has ever placed man!
Touch the country-bred boy, now the
merchant prince Or the successful pro-
fessional man, and how responsive he
becomes to every suggestion Of rural
life. The same cannot be said Of boys
reared in the midst Of any other sur
roundings. 1t is the contact with nature
that makes the indelible impression
upon his life. No greater gain could
come to the country at large than to
promote the love and appreciation of
rural life. Health, happiness, purity
and peace are the natural inheritance
Of those who dwell surrounded by fresh
air, beautiful scenes, bright skies and
pure social Influences

The severe morality of modern times
threatens the supremacy of one whose
gray hairs alone ought to protect him
no less a parsonage than that archgiVer,
Santa Claus. 1t has been decided by
many wise mothers that this Christmas
fiction gives children their first knoWl-
edge of hypocrisy and deceit, and that
there is an unbecoming skepticism
about the young man Of seven or eight
who has outlived the st. Nicholas delu-
sion and a certain air Of contemptuous
pity towards other victims Of this de-
ceit Moreover, they declare that it is
demoralizing to make an idol Of one
whose only virtue is reckless habit
Of gift-giving and about whose other
habits little is known. Yet on the 9th
er hand it has never been proved that
those who have been thus amiably de-
luded were any the worse for the decep-
ton in after life, and, in fact, many
who have outlived all decisions love to
hug to themselves the memory Of their
faith in this giver Of good gifts. OF
course the saint himself has felt his
power weakening in late years and he
has lived to see automobiles preferred
to reindeer as a means of locomotion
and to have his travels through chin
neys marred by the odors from gas
logs, yet he has persisted in his benevo-
lent habits in spite of these drawbacks,
and it seems a pity to add anything
more TO his mack of miSerieS Parents
will decide for themselves in this mat
er, but at present it looks as if, on the
coming nights before Christmas, when
mamma in her 'kerchief and l in my
cap'' settle down for a long winters
nap, the worthy pair will not be dis
turbed by the clatter of Santa Claus
approach.

Can you tell by the manner in which
rainwater eats its way down a hillside
whether the soil was originally COW
cred with forest? If the tract of land
was once wooded, can you by the same
sign tell about how long it has been
cleared? Such observations are full of
interest. The rains make rapid work in
eFoding newly cleared and newly titled
land and hills1des; but the prairie has
reached state of comparative equilib-
rum.

A consular report Of the tests made
a Bavarian railway says that they are
found satisfactory in every respect but
one. They whistle after a fashion
which sounds "unearthly" to musical
German ears. They screech in the
way familiar to all who live near Amer
lean roads instead Of letting out gentle
murmurs as foreign-built engines do
when they wish to attract attention.
It is not strange that there should be
such a difference in whistles. In the
United States innumerable country
roads cross the railways at grade. Men
and live stock trespass on the tracks,
while they do not abroad. 1t is neces-
sary to have some device to warn hui
man beings and cattle that they are
in danger. No better device than the
ear-piercing whistle has been discover
ed. In the early days of American rail-
reading the signs at road crossings read
'look out for the locomotive when the
bell rings" 1t was soon discovered
that the rafting Of wheels often kept a
driver from hearing the soft sound Of
a bell, and the whistle, whose shrill
sound pierces through everything, was
substituted for it. 1t will be an easy
matter for American locomotive build
ers to put on the engines which they
send abroad the toy whistles to which
foreigners are accustomed and which
answer there all the purposes of
whistle.

ish Government that the brigands
be punished and the $4,000 paid
for the ransom of Miss Stone be
returned. Turkey of course denies
any liability or responsibility for
the matter, but should be brought
to time all the same, as it is gener-
ally believed that she was secretly
behind the whole business, in order
to get even with this country for
the SIoo, 900 we forced her to pay
last year for churches and mission
airy property destroyed by her sol
diers. The brigands first demanded
and held out for a SIoo, 600 ransom
for Miss Stone for long time, but
finally accepted the S72, 500 as that
was all that could be raised by her
friends.

COMING OUR WAY.
More Money Being Paid Out In The
County For Coal.

Governor Albert b. White and
Secretary of State w. NJ. O. Daw-
son, of Charleston, arrived in King
wood last Thursday, and were quar-
tered at the Hotel Gordon. The
Governor left on Saturday, but Mr..
Dawson remained till Monday. The
object of their visit was to invest in
Preston county coal lands. Secre
tary Dawson is already largely in
terested, having purchased about
1000 acres a year ago or more.
This time company has been or
gained, known as the Briery Noun
tain Coal Company, composed of
Gov. White, Hon. George M. Bow
ers of Martinsburg, United States
Fish Commissioner, Hon. Thos. L.
Davis CT Garafton, now Collector
of Internal Revenue, Hon. L. NJ.
Gilkeson a banker of Parkersburg,
and Mr.. Dawson, and perhaps 9TH
ers. A charte. will be issued shortly
to the company, and if the railroad
goes up or down Cheat River they
will probably operate and develop
their own coal. While here the
Governor closed a deal with Henry
c. Flythe o! this place, for over
1000 acres of coal lying between St.
Joe and the Whetsell Settlement,
and pays cash for it, no notes,
bonds, promises to pay or anything
else but the cash in hand, as the
Governor has just made a cool hun
dred thousand dollars on the sale of
coal lands in Lewis and Harrison
counties. Mr.. Flythe held the OPP
tons on the lands in this county
and with the help of Mr.. Dawson,
his brother-in-law, made the above
sale, making a very nice thing out
of 1t for himself, as we'll as placing
a large sum of money in circulation
among the farmers. Much credit is
due Mr.. Dawson tor attracting cap
ital and capitalists to this county,
and helping to develop our wonder
full and rich resources and place so
much money in the hands of our
people, and the business is only
fairly begun as yet. There are
more sales and deals pending and
good prospects for the Cheat Valley
railroad pushing down into the above
coal fields, anyhow.
