viii Celebrate Rouss Birthday

The anniversary of the birthday of the
late Charles Broadway Rouss. February
II, is getting near at hand, and our fire.
men, for whom he did so much, are pre-
pairing to celebrate the occasion in a be
fitting manner, as heretofore. The indie
pendent Fire Company will have its usual
banquet in Rouss Memorial Hall, and
Capt !. c. Holmes and his men are put
ting forth their most active efforts to
make it a big success in every particular.
That they will succeed gees without the
saving, and it is therefore assured that
Charles Town will in a most creditable
manner do honor to the memory of the
late Charles Broadway Rouss on the
evening of the nth Of February next.
The u, S. Civil Service Commission
reports that for the year ending June so,
1902, there were 1858 persons appointed
from its registers. This was 4,692 more
than was ever before appointed in single
year. Anyone wishing information
about these positions can secure it free by
writing for the Civil Service announce
ment of the Columbian Correspondence
College, Washington, d. G. The Com
mission will hold examinations to secure
young men and women for these places
during March and April, at Charleston
and Parkersburg. Many people do not
know that these appointments are made
without political influence and that a
large share Of then are filed by those
having only a common school education,
bat such is now the case.

PROF IT

The matter of feed is Of
tremendous importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his cows to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children?
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

plosion was heard and earth tremors.
shaking windows, etc, felt at Charles
Town and various parts Of this county
Many persons in Charles Town were much
frightened, and one old lady screamed
and ran out of her daughters house.
The disturbance was at first thought by
many to be in the nature of an earth
quake shock but ii is now supposed to have
been the result of an extraordinary blast
set off on the new B. & o. line over in
Berkeley County. If this be so, all we
have to say is that the boys over there
had better be little careful or the first
thing they know they will burst the crust
of old mother earth beyond repair. and
than we will be in terrible plight.

Hon. II, st. Geo. Tucker is being
doomed for Governor of Virginia. Mr..
Tucker comes of an honored line, and as
chief magistrate of the Old Dominion he
would. we are confident fill the position
with eminent ability and with much ac-
ceptance to his entire people. If we had
the say in the matter he would be chosen
unanimously. With Tucker in the gu
bernatorial chair in Virginia, Vic. Baugh
man in Maryland and Forrest w, Brown
in West Virginia, it would be hard to find
three other contiguous States that could
rival the executive heads of the trio OF
magnificent commemorative bordering
on the historic Potomac.

There is no other duty so import
ant to mother as that of protecting
the happiness of a child Through
the making of the child's happiness
she shall develop within him the
seeds of goodness more effectual
than if she labored sternly to repress
his faults. The world hardens and
larshens us. but deep within our
hearts there always lives one little
oasis, where brood some memories
OF our childhood happy days, and
when the meaner impulses of our ma
ture pull us wrong. these delicate
memories swing us into the right
path, and we are better men and
women with the memory of a happy
childhood.
So it does mean something when
we carcl2ssly turn the bright hues
of hope in q baby breast into the
gloom of mourning. 1t means some
thing definite and very important to
his future when little one whispers
into a tender ear: Mother, | have
had such a good time today
These are no little things in life.
the airy tritles are the mighty forces
which tnrn the material wheels of
cur existence Who knows at what
instant we are changing the tenor of
human career? A light word at
the wrong time, blighting sentence
when tenderness was needed mock
cry when one should have been seri-
Gus, and gloom when We should have
beamed with joy All these mistakes
are the spades that dig graves for
those over whom our influence is
strong. and for whose welfare we are
responsible forever.
