Temper.

4 great source Of cruelty is temper.
When it is considered what a-vast sum
Of misery temper causes in he world.
how many homes are darkened and
how many hearts are saddened by it:
when we remember that its rersecr.t-
tons hav not even tie purifying con-
sequences Of most other calanltieS. In
asmuch as it's effects upon its innocent
victims are rather cankeroUs thar ne
dicinal; when we call to mind that =
bright face and a bright disposition
are like sunshine in a house. and Z
gloomy. lowering countenance as de-
pressing as an Arctic night. we mast
acknowledge that temper itself is only
another form of cruelty. and a very bad
form too.

state Senator William Campbell.
one$o Democratic members
thesuppsr house. has beer renomi-
mated BY a convention Of his party at
Berkeley Springs. His speech OF ac-
ceptance is a fair illustration OF the
deceptive attitude Of the Democratic
candidates over the State in this cam
paign. AS quoted in the papers. he
represented himself as the candidate
the agricultural interests, and OPP
snosed to the railroads. But the facts
are that during all of his present term
in the state Senate he has beer ena-
bled to canvass the State for a life
insurance company by reason OF rail-
road passes, and he has shaped his
course in The Legislature to fulfill his
OBLIGATIONS on account of these cour-
tesies and to gain a further extension
of them. Senator Campbell allied
himself with the interests that were
opposed to any sort of tax reform
when the movement for change in
our tax laws was started by Governor
White. and he has worked directly and
indirectly to defeat any remedial leg
5s1ation of this kind He is now mas
uuerading as the friend of the farmer.
In his speech at Berkeley Springs he
denounced Mr.. Dawson, the Republi-
can candidate for governor, as tine
|Uriah Heep of West Virginia politics.,
an Instance of a speakers applying
a Wrongful designation to another
which his own impulses should sus-
gest as suitable for himself.

EXERCISES FOR HEALTH.
A Little Shaking Up Before Break
fast Is n Good Thing.

For limos every person under fifty,
and for a great many people over fifty,
exercise is the nearest approach TO u
panacea for bodily lis that has yet
been devised. Causing the body to
move and stretch and push II pna!l
makes the blood circulate. the liver DO
it's work and the nerves pick up their
dropped stitches. An excellent time to
exercise is before breakfast. Neither
man nor beast. as a rule, goes to sleep
hungry. During sleep there is little
waste of energy. On waking there is
no immediate demand for ~replenish-
ment of lost tissues. Furthermore the
long sleep has left he nerves II the
digestive apparatus dull and leadened-
To sit dow to a heavy eakfa with
in fifteen Or twenty minutes after get
ting out of bed means that the stomach
receives food which it does not Ccc!
ard Will not readily digest.
\ little shaking up before breakfast
arouses the vitality and consequently
makes the appetite ana digestion better.
HI means better work done during
the day. If Il man cal get away from
work in time to take additional eIeI-
else during tie afternoon he Will haye
q better appetite for the evening meal
and more power to digest it. That Will
mean better >sleep az night Many q
