Thomas Addison has just given
to the world another great inven-
ton, on which he has spent four
years constant work, and to which
he has given more or less attention
for thirty years, 1t is storage
battery of great power, occupying
but little space, and OF insigniti.
cant weight. He says its perfec-
ton means that the horse will ii.
nally be supplanted for motive
purposes. The tests applied to the
automobile give the best idea OF
the wonderful improvement Mr.,
Edison has made. One OF the new
batteries weighing sixty pounds
runs an automobile 100 miles with
out re-charging. The best battery
known heretofore weighs 1000
pounds and Will run the machine
only 20 to % miles. Thus ii will
be seen that wonderful invention
has been'given to the world. The
enormous amountof energy stored,
with such economy of space and
weight, really for use at any mo-
ment, makes this invention one OF
almost unlimited possibilities. 1t
will revolutionize many present
methods.

Virgil Staley was yesterday
pardoned conditionally from the
State Prison at Moundsvillc by
Governor White after serv-
ing two years Of iive-year sen.
tence. This recalls one OF the
most sensational tragedies ever re.
corded in Southern West Virginia.

hardly 20 years; fell In love with
Adkins, young man who had
been an enemy OF her brother
Virgil for long time Virgil
warned her to have nothing TO do
with MN, despite this they clipped
to lronton aud were married. a
few DAYS later they returned and
were allghting from the carriage
at the Staley home Whom Virgil
warned Adkins not to put his foot
on his premises, though inviting,
at the same lime, his sister TO enter.
seeing that her husband was not
going to be admitted, she refused
to enter also, and was just step
ping back Into her carriage when
Virgil, her brothtr, pulled his re-.
yrlyer and opened fire ON Adkins.
She sprdng back and attempted
to rush between brother and hus-
baud, but IL was ton late. A bull

pierced her husbands heart and

Many Of us find life hard and fun Of
pain. The world uses us rudeiy and
roughly We suffer wrongs and IN
turies Other peoples clumsy feet
tread upon our tender spirits We must
endure misfoatrnes. trials, disappoint-
ments. We cannot avoid these things.
but we should not allow the harsh ex-
periences to deaden our senstbdlitfes or
make us sto&cal or sour. The true prob
lem OF living is to keep our hearts
sweet and gentle In the hardest cundi-
tons and experiences. II you remove
the snow from the hillside In the late
winter you viii find sweet flowers
growing there beneath the cold drifts,
unhurt by the storm and by the snowy
blankets that have covered them. So
should we keep our hearts tender and
sensitive beneath lffe's fercest winter
blasts and through the longest years OF
suffering and even of injustice and
wrong treatment. That is true. vicfori-
