City Divorce Records.

Curious features are presented by the
divorce records as compiled at Washing
ton. The only city which makes no re-
turns OF divorces granted Is Charleston.
S. c., being the state which has the
longest consistent record Of opposition to
divorces.
The city in which the largest number
of divorces was granted Is Chicago, which
has an average of 1900 a year, or more
than double the average in the Greater
New York.
st. Louis has about one-half the pop
ulation of Philadelphia, but there were
more divorces granted in the smaller than
in the larger city last year.
ISoston and Baltimore have about the
same population. but the number CT d.
vorces granted in Boston was $50 to 170
in Baltimore.
San Francisco has. for its size. the
of the country I'm year-900 to 1000 mar
vorces to 1900 marriages; Tacoma, 100
divorces to 700 marriages; Butte, 100 d.
vorces to $50 marriages.
Camden, N. j., the scene Of many
Philadelphia runaway marriages, has a
small divorce record and also has Buff
falo. which has long retained it's social
distinction as a honeymoon city. The
city Of Los Angeles has high and the
city of Syracuse. n. Y, low record for
divorces.
The average number Of divorces granted
in a year is the same in New Orleans
and in Columbus Ohio. New Orleans is
city of 300. 900 population. and Columbus
of 125 000.--New York Sun.

BUDS AND FLOWERS OF
HOME LIFE.
Paine's Celery Compound Makes and Keeps
the Children Well and Strong.
Mothers Make 1t the Home Medicine
For the Little Ones.

The children, God bless them, are the buds
and flowers of our homes. Without their
prattle and hearty laughter, our homes would
be desolate. They should ever be carefully
tended in childhood and youth, if we expect
them TO ripen into perfect men and women.
In the home and at school, the children
have their times of i'll health and suffering.
We often note the pallid and bloodless cheeks,
heavy eyes, nervous movements, and witch
ings of limbs and muscles They complain of
headache, drowsiness, WEAKNESS, dyspepsia,
and Indigestion. All such symptoms and all
ments mean that the seeds of disease will have
fast and finn hold, unless proper measures
are taken to restore a perfect condition of
health.
thousands of wise and prudent parents have
made their children happy, healthy, and vigor-
Gus by giving them natures medicine, Paine's
Celery Compound. In many severe and COM
plicated cases, Paine's Celery Compound has
restored health when the little ones were given
up by physicians.
II your dear ones are not as hearty, strong,
and rugged as they should be, try the health
giving virtues of Paine's Celery Compound.

Adam Was The First Man.

BY ADRIAN G. wYNKooP, JR.
Adam was the first man ever invented.
Lived by himself and never was contented
Made out of mud in the days gone by,
Hung ON the fence in the sun for to dry.
Along came Eve and Adam had battle.
Sent him up the tree for to bring down
some apples;
Brought down two and Eve ate one,
And ever SIEGE has the trouble begun.
Along came Abel and he looked like his
mother,
Hustled round the place to find himself a
brother;
Cain didn't like it and he began to kick.
Cain soaked Abel in the head with brick.
Along came Noah stumbling in the dark,
Found some nails and a haehet and bull.
himself an ark.
And then the animals two by two,
The hippopotamus and the kangaroo
And then the elephant then the bear.
And then the possum without any hair.

been FASTENED BY his having been knocked
down and injured by runaway horse in

Vermont, July 6, 1878, and was gradua-
ted from Brown University and Column

was pastor of church in Augusta, Ca.

he was appointed professor of Greek in
Columbian University, Washington. D.
e, which position, with that of Dean of
the college faculty. he held until on ac-
count of advanced years and feeble
health. he resigned from active duty two
years ago and was made professor emeri-
tus of Greek. He was considered one of
the ablest Greek scholars in America.
He left one daughter. Mrs. VIM L. Will
son. DR.. Huntington had, for many
years. been in the habit of spending his
summer vacations at the home Of his
son -in-law, Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson. III this
place. and large circle of friends knew
and appreciated his worth, and will
mourn his death. The Free Press APP
propriately says HE belonged to that
highest type of manhood-a christian
gentlemag. His bearing was at once
cordial and courteous, and once a friend
was to be always friend with him. =
Thousands of young men who have
had the privilege of his instruction in
college will bear the impress of his I'M
matched fidelity and piety through their
lives. Like shock OF wheat fully ripe,
he has been gathered into the garner of

More Governors From Jefferson.

In the communication of Gen. Craig
hill IN your paper of the 9TH inst referring
to the list of names published by the
magazine of the Virginia Historical So
ciety, in which are given the names of
seventy-seven Virginians who became
governors of other states, the General
is certainly correct as to the incomplete
ness of the list. He furnishes one in
stance of omission. and can furnish one
and possibly two omissions, viz, that of
DR.. +. l.. Tiffin, who went to the North
west Territory in 1896. and became the
first governor Of Ohio In 1903 DIR. Tiffin
went from Charles Town, Jefferson
county, where he had practiced med,-
cine for several years, and the house
which he built and lived in >on Liberty
street, is still standing and occupied bv
my sister and myself. The house. as
originally constructed, was a frame one
weatherboarded, but when purchased bv
my father, the understanding was re-
moved and the whole structure encased
in brick. The original floors. plastering
and many OF the doors are still doing SER
vice IN the old mansion. A few wears
ago one of the descendants of the Tiffiu
family came to Charles Town from Ohio
to see and visit the house built bv his
distinguished ancestor, after whom the
city of Tiffin was named.
The second name is that of jeremiah
Morrow, of whom Virgil A. Lewis in
his history of West Virginia, speaks as
follows: Another Virginian was Gov
ernor of that State (Ohio,) in 1925. This
was Jeremiah Morrow, who was born
near Shepherdstown, in Jefferson county,
in I77I."
