the world. For over six miles the
road was blasted out of the solid rock
on the face of perpendicular cliff.
The river ripples hundreds of feet be-
low you, and the mountain rises still
higher above. A mornings horse
back ride in the thin pine air and
amid such scenery IL exhilarating be-
yond expression. The day before we
were over the road, landslide had
carried away the road for a consider
able distance. It had just been made
passable again. This was reminder
of what might happen at any time at
almost any place along the road. In
one place we stopped and exchanged
few snowballs made from a big drift
that was still left beside the road from
last winters snow.
AS you approach the town by the
railroad, you notice on the left few
buildings clinging to the face of cliff
two thousand feet above the valley.
These buildings are at the american
Nettie" mine. The ore from this mine
is brought down on an aerial tramway.
In one place the tramway has a clear
span of 1000 feet. Another wonderful
ride is up the trail to this mine. The
trail zigz gags back and forth across the
face of fearfully steep mountain. 1t
is built just wide enough for a horse
to travel over. In many places a
single stumble of the horse would be
death to both him and bis rider. In
coming down the mountain we walked
down an unused trail leading our
horses and looking out not to get un-
der them in case they should stumble.
1 venture to say that we led those
broncbos down places where YER
mont sheep would have hesitated to
go.
Of course in visiting Omav one goes
through some of the mines and con-
centrating mills in the vicinity. IF he
is with someone who is acquainted
with the superintendent of the mine.
he will be invited to take dinner with
the miners, and it will be an enjoy
able repast. You then fill your pock-
cts with specimens of ore, ride back
to town in the quiet and cool of the
evening, take plunge in the swim
ming pool supplied with water heated
by nature herself, and then go to
sleep with your mind filled with en-
during visions of wondrous beauty
and grandeur.
Very sincerely yours.

CRAZY MAN IN FOREST
SHOOTS man; KILLS SELF

aside from the slight pain which it caused
him, it win not seriously trouble him.
Fortney told of his narrow escape from
being murdered and in short time Of
ticcrs and neighbors were on the hunt
for the wild man. Constable Haggerty,
of Shinnston, and Constable Gordon
Stewart, of Enterprise, led the search,
and that evening they were engaged in
securing the woods to apprehend the
crazy man and to imprison him to pre-
vent his infiicting any harm to either
himself or Others
The officers and men continued the
scared, until midnight without finding
any trace of the crazy man. They finally
gave up the hunt, and retired to their
homes.
About 4 o'clock Sunday morning resi-
dents living near the Mcintyre home
heard a pistol shot nearby. 1t after
wards proved to be the report of the
revolver with which Mcintyre had kill
ed himself.
In the early morning, Sunday, just
after daylight, Homer Michael, who
lives in the neighborhood, went out to
find one of his horses which had stray
ed from the field. Near the edge Of
the wood, short distance from the
Mcintyre home, he came upon the body
of the crazy man. 1t was laying prone
on the ground, having evidently fallen
to one side from sitting posture. His
| hand ciasped revolver. and a CHASTITY
hole in the center of the forehead told
/ the story.
Michael ran back and informed some
/ of the neighbors of his discovery. and in
short time several men carried the
dead body into the Mcintyre home.
The body was prepared for burial.
Monday morning the remains were laid
70 rest In the Isaac Nay graveyard on

! Mcintyre is survived by wife and
eight children. He is the son of Dallas

known resident of that vicinity.

Perry Dallas Mcintyre, farmer liv-
Eng on Bingamon Creek, within a few
miles of Shinnston, became suddenly de-
ranged Saturday night. He took to the
woods with revolver, roamed around
among the trees for while, empticd his
revolver Mt a passing man, shooting him
IN the foot, md later on in the night
turned the weapon upon himself and
shot out his hrains. Such is the epi-
tome of one of the most peculiar TRACE
dies that has happened within the Dor,
ders of Harrison county for years.
Mcintyre is married man, and is
shout 80 years of age. For years he
has suffered mental arrangement, and
has been an inmate of the state insane
asylum Ave or six times. Each time he
was dicharged as being apparently cured,
but each time his mind gave way and
his relatives were compelled to have him
recommitted to the asylum.
About two months ago he was taken
before a magistrate at Shinnston and
examined by doctors. He was pronounc-
ed insane and ordered committed to the
Weston asylum. He was taken there
and received treatment for several
weeks. Some two weeks ago he was
discharged from the institution and he
returned to his home on Bingamon.
Saturday evening, between S and
o'clock Mcintyre left his home. He wan
dered to the woods near his farm. A
short time later George Riley Fortney,
. resident of that vicinity, was fright
ened and startled by seeing wild-eyed
and di.heyeled man glare at him from
behind q sycamore tree at the edge Of
the woods which he was passing on his
way to one of the houses in the neigh
bcrhood. Mcintyre pulled a revolver
from his pocket and began firing tho
contents at the passerby. Fortney real.

fortunate victim Of the frenzied rage OF

Through what cause do men enlist ?' said
an erect and trim-looking recruiting sergeant.
repeating a question asked him. We'll, I'd say
that patriotism. sheer love of country. causes
the enlistment Of about one man in every hun
dred-not more. This, to be sure, refers to
times of peace. In war times men enlist
through patriotism by the thousands. AS near
as / can get at II, about a third of the young
men who enlist to-day have for their motive
encouragement. They can't get along. They
have miserable jobs. work hard and long for
nearly invisible salaries. and they see nothing
10 hope for in the future. So, discouraged. al
most in despair. they enlist. Another third
and this is a healthy and fine lot of men-enlist
because they love change. excitement, danger
and an open-air. athletic life. The rest enlist
for reasons that are various and queer; one in
order to break himself Of drunkenness: another
TO escape from a wife or sweetheart whom he
is weary of; a third to benefit his health, and
so on. Young men who have failed to obtain a
degree in medicine or the law sometimes enlist.

STANDARD OIL ETHICS.


Ida M. Tarbell, in December McClure's.
A Cleveland %refiner, Mr.. John Teagle.
whose firm had had at one time a running
arrangement with the Standard, testified
in 1855 to a congressional committee, that
one day in 1888 his ~bookkeeper came to him
and told him hat he had been approached
by a brother of the secretary of the Stand
ard Oil Company at Cleveland, who had
asked him if he did not wish to make some
money. The bookkeeper asked how, and
after some talk he was informed tina it
would be by his giving Information con-
corning the business OF his firm 10 the
Standard. The bookkeeper seems to have
been a wary fellow, for he dismissed his
interlocutor without a~rousing suspicion and
then took the case to Mr.. Teagle, who
asked him to make some kind of an ar
rangement in order TO find out just what in
formation the Standard wanted. The man
did this. For SIS down and a small sum
per year, he was to make a transcript
OF Mr.. Teagle's daily shipments with net
price received for the same: he was TO tell
what the cost of manufacturing In the re-
finery was; the amount of gasoline and
Eaphtha made and the net price received
fo< shazss what thes were doing with their
