THE STATE BUILDING
AtSt. Louis a Struc-
work Has Begnn.

AJSt. Louis n Magnificent Struc-
ture- work Has Begnn.
The West Virginia state build
ing at ST. Louis will be q mag
nificent structure. Last winter
thirteen architects throughout the
state entered competition, and
many of the plans submitted were
beautiful examples of architecture.
At a recent meeting of the State
Commission in st. Louis, the plans
of Gisssey g. Faris, of Wheeling,
were accepted, and the contrast
was let to Caldwell & Drake. of
Parkersburg, for something under
$4,000, the limit that had been
placed up IN the cost of the build
ing by the Commission Working
plans have been sent to the con-
tractors, and already the work Up
ON the foundation has begun. 1t
is expected the building will be
completed March L, 1SU4, Two
months before the opening of the
Exposition. The building is very
large and it's large golden dome,
which will be covered with glass
tile made by Wheeling firm. the
same material used for the great
golden dome of the new postofice
building at Chicago. This ought
to make the West Virginia build
ing one of the most striking on the
grounds at st. Louis. The orna
mental metal ceilings made by
Wheeling firms will be used almost
exclusively in the interior. The
Huntington clay shingle also will
be used.

Two sides.

How often has the editor heard
newspaper men condemned be-
cause they did not take certain
stand on some public question that
the man making the kick thought
ought to have been taken. These
people forget that there are alway 8
two sides to any question. That
all men do not agree, and that it is
for this reason that parties have
been formed They forget, too,
that whenever the radical wing of
one controls. that party goes down
10 sure and certain defeat. We
have heard these men when re-
quested to do political work. say:
81 cannot do it; it would hurt my
business And has the news
paper man no business to consider?
Is it not a fact that he is running
q newspaper to supply himself and
family with living and make his
business profitable ventureP Such
people give one a pretty good
sized pain. 1t is so easy to criti-
cise, so hard to perform. If one
of these same people was placed
for year in charge of newspaper
he would find out that it is after

ent upon the public, as is all legit
innate business, for support, and
that it must cater to its constitu.

There is telegraph operator at
the New York Central Station in
Poughkeepsie, N. Y who is hero.
He was on night work. and his
wife, who had been sick for some
time, was taken suddenly worse,
and telephone message was sent
to him that she was dying. There
was no way to relieve him of duties
and he was obliged to reply that
trains were running and he could
not leave About an hour later he
received message announcing her
death, yet the brave fellow, worried
and suffering. stayed at his post
until morning when relief came.
Had he left his post. probably
there would have been several
wrecks and many lives lost Suoh
heroes do not receive the recogni-
tion they deserve.

What Is wealth

Does wealth consist of money,
houses, lands. bank stocks, rail-

We think not. The young man
starting in life with no money,
but with good digestion, good
sleep. good health, and ability to
work in some profitable employ
ment. has what the aged capitalist
would be glad to exchange all his
millions for.
What compensation is money for
sleepless nights and painful days,
or for the misconduct of dissipated
children?
Which brings the greatest hap

A Cihiclxen Story

A South Side man who raises
chickens, says Pittsburg paper,
tells the following good story on
himself:
"The other day." said he, 81 had
Plymouth Rock hen that 1 was
very anxious to sell. One of my
neighbors seemed fully as anxious
to purchase the fowl, and we went
to work to clinoh the bargain. He
asked me how much 1 wanted for
the chicken and when 1 told him
forty cents he almost went wild.
Too much! too muolIr was all he
seemed able to ejaoulate. But
she lays every day and sometimes
twice a day. / answered. We'll,
that may be very true,' said my
my neighbor, 'just put her under
that barrel and / will return in an
hour and let you know whether 1
want her or not 1 put the old
hen under barrel and rushed into
the house, grabbed up an egg and
placed it under the chicken. In a
short time my neig hbor came back
with a companion and sail he
would look at the chicken. 1 lift
ed up the hen and there was fresh
egg. AT this juncture the friend
of my neighbor began to tell how
he loved to suck fresh eggs, so 1
gave him the round warm egg that
l took from under the pullet. He
broke one end of the shell and
went to work with all the power of
suction he possessed, but nothing
came. In my excitement I had
got hard boiled egg"

A Good one on Miss Emma.

in fact the story is too good to
keep. SO here goes. While return
ing to the telephone office at noon
yesterday, and passing the Grafton
Wholesale Produce Company's
room, on Main street, opposite the
First National Bank, Miss Emnia
noticed rather fat looking pocket
book lying on the pavement. There
were several young gentlemen
standing near by, and as the young
lady had at other times seen boys
of the city gain great cheerfulness
from watching sundry persons at
tempt to pickup pocket books that
proved to be nailed to the pave
ment. or to which strings had been
attached, she smilingly passed the
appealing appearance of the wallet
Arriving at the telephone office
Miss Emma Immediately tele-
phoned to John Hamilton, a men,
ber of the produce company, that
a pocket-book was lying in front
of his business house, and she then
stepped out on the porch of the
telephone exchange to watch the
fun. Mr.. Hamilton sauntered lei.
surely out, walked in the indicated
direction, gobbled the pocket-book
and opening it then and there
found the sum of fifteen dollars
and ninety-one cents enclosed. We
mercifully draw the curtain, re-
marking, however, that Mr.. Ham
ilton didn't forget to call Miss
Emma up Immediately and thank
her for her information, closing
his remarks with; "Are there any
more at home like your"

"The first time 1 ever put on a

Mothers who deceive their
children by promises of good or
threats of evil, neither of which
they fulfill or, have the remotest
expectation of fulfilling. are con-
demned by writer in The House
hold. "The ordinary child loves
truth as he does flowers and SUM-
light" she says. He trusts others
and is himself to be trusted till he
learns fraud and deception from
his elders. This is a principle
which should be recognized by
young parents who are welcoming
the first little ones into their homes.
They should make up their minds
not only never to deceive their
children by word or deed, but also
to insist upon the same rule being
carriediout by nurse girls and other
domestics. How many times one
overhears threats made to children
which make ones heart ache for
the poor little creature.
