Arrested For Huntina.

Ed Wolf took his gun and went forth
to Stay the beasts of the fields a few,
days ago. He says that he saw no
trespass notices and did not know he
was violating the law. He went upon
the lands of NJ. s. Fast and, it is said,
shot a rabbit in his garden, terribly
mutilating his tomato patch. y war
rant was issued and this morning Wolf
came into Justice Amos office and Of
fered himself as living sacrifice to
the great and awful State of West,
Virginia. I!

A Democratic pamphlet is in cir
culation which gives the part of the
late acts of the Legislature with ref
erence to the reassessment of real es-
tate at it's true and actual value 1t
is evidently a malicious attempt to
deceive the farmers as it neglects to
show that all other forms of property
are to be assessed in the same way.
Special attention is called to the real
and actual v:.:~t< clause, the lines be-
ing printed in italics and UNDERSIGNED
With red and blue pencil markings.
There is absolutely no honorable de-
Tense for such sarblinS of any publ
cation and a party which will resort
to such forms of deception is deserv-
ing of the overwhelming defeat which
viii surely be melted out TO the I'M
principled methods employed by the
authors of the pamphlet.

The Times is as unreliable when it
attempts to be funny as when in dead
earnest. Its little joke about Delegate
Stanley and Mr.. Tough was a fair
sample Of how near the truth that pa.
per can get. Had the announcements
been read with the care necessary to
accuracy, the Times could lave seen
that A. Q. Stanley, A. S. Fleming and
T. NJ. Parks will be che speakers in
Winfield on Wednesday night. That
Democratic "menagerie and hippo
drome" will need the attention of Mr..
Tough tomorrow night and it is likely
to get all that is coming TO it. There
will be enough truth in connection
with the incongruous aggregation to
make interesting reading and TIE
West Virginian will not give an ac
count of the meeting false in everT
detail as was the Times report Of the
Dawson meeting. Concerning the
meeting in Winfield, it is entirely
likely that the boys will have as big
a crowd in proportion to the population
as will be here for the seven-ringed
circus to exhibit at the Courthouse
square.

As 1t Was Intended.

A certain clergyman reports the
following incident us occurring Just
inside the entrance to one Of the
largest and most popular New York
churches during a crowded service:
1t was during the reading Of a
prayer, and the entire congregation
was knecling. A man of rough ap-
pearance, evidently unused to ec-
clesiastical Surroundings, strolled
through the open doors and stared
in apparent wondermcnt at the ST.
lent and kneeling congregation. He
looked moment, then turning to
the sexton, who stood near by, re-
marked briefly:
"Well, this beats the old boyn
The sexton turned serene eye on
him.
"That is the intention" he re-
plied.-IIarpcr's Weekly.

Extending Tho Loan.

Old MI. Dobson was nothing if
not neighborly, but in the case of
the Perkinses he really felt that a
line must be drawn somewhere. It
was the fifth time that week that lit
tie Sammy Perkins had been over to
borrow something, and this was
only Wednesday.
'Please, Mr. Dobson, mother says
won't you lend her your lawn mower
for about an hour or tvo?"
Mr.. Dobson scratched his head
obviously. "Well. sonny, deed I
can't" he said at last. .~Pn be
needing it now, straight through the
summer, off and on. But I'll tell
you what," he added, when he saw

nance. "There's the snow shovel

her keep that bit longer

His Love Letters.

Many men able to write excel
lent business letters fail lamentably
when they attempt to compose any
thing else. The relatives Of one
such hampered person complained,
not without reason, Of the extreme
brevity of his home letters.
"But," pleaded the offender, s'you
know very well that I never could
write much of letter"
"You write long enough ones to
your betrothed," inserted the ag-
gTieved sister. fSomeeimes che has
to pay extra postage on them."
The engaged girl, who was pres
ent, laughed and bl,sheds then she
rushed to the rescue.

HE OBLIGED QUAY.
How Reporter Became the Agent of
His Own Defeat.

How Reporter Became the Agent of
His Own Defeat.
One of the qualities which gave
power to the late Senator Matthew
S. Quay Of Pennsylvania was won
derful ability TO judge human na-
ture. An incident which the Brook
lyR Eagle "a sgeecounts illustrates the
humorous, side of Quay's ability to
tu{H me4i tGhis own uses. Shortly
before General RTens q personal
friend of Quay's, wds nominated for
the governorship of Pennsylvania a
political writer for one Of the Phila-
delphia papers went to Harrisburg
for an interview. He met Mr.. Quay
on the train.
"What are you hunting this
timer" asked the senator.
ooh, Pm going to interview Gen
eral Beaver" was the reply.
CTS that SOP" said Quay thought
fully. "Well, l wish you would
take note to him for me. 1t would
save my getting off the train there"
The newspaper man promised to
do SO. Mr.. Quay borrowed his pad,
wrote few words on q sheet, folded
it loosely and addressed it on the
outside to General Beaver.
Gust give that to him if you
will" he said, handing it carelessly
to the writer. "That is all I was
going to say to him"
Ushered into the veterans Office
in Harrisburg, the newspaper man
asked General Beaver If he would
consent to an interview on the is
sues of the campaign.
"With she greatest pleasure in the
world" was the ready reply.
"Before we begin," said the re-
porter, 81 must give you this note
from Mr.. Quay, whom I met on the
train"
General Beaver took the note and
opened it. His face broke into q
broad smile.
sI have changed my mind" he
said. 81 have decided not to be in
terviewed today"
Then as the joke grew upon him
he laughed aloud. ooh, this is too
good to keepw he cried, and handed
the note to the reporter.
It read:
Dear Beaver-Dont talk. QUAY.
Mr.. Quay had assumed that the
newspaper man, being a gentleman,
would not read the loosely folded
note, and that he would give it to
General Beaver before the interview
to get it off his mind, and perhaps
to impress General Beaver with his
acquaintance with the "boss." Quay
had judged correctly, and the inter
view was not given out till he had
had time to advise his candidate.

Kent Han word

Two young ladies were walking in
the woods one day when they were
accosted by an old and much shriv-
eled gypsy, who politely offered to
show them their husbands faces in
q brook which ran near by for a
slight remuneration. SO, paying the
sum, they followed the hag to see
how she could do so wonderful a
thing and also anxious to see their
future husbands. But instead of
beholding the faces of the men they
SO fondly hoped for they saw their
own. I've can see nothing but our
own faces" said one. Every true,
men," replied the sagacious fortune
teller, "but these will be your hus-
bands faces when you are married" "
