\ few days ago while number of
men We're lounging upon the village
green, relating their various expert
ences with and observations OF the
habits ofall manner of snakes, Young
farmer who is said to be in the habit
of seeking shady retreats when the
sun shines, related the interesting
story of how he had seen a water
snake do up a rattler.n He said
that one very warm day when the
heat had driven him to the shade,
he saw a water snake crawl up out of
the pond and approached RATHER
that lay coiled up on the bank, q
fierce battle ensued. After a time
the water snake stretched itself out
upon the sod and feigned death,
whereupon the RATHER proceeded to
swallow his victim, but after he had
succeeded in swallowing about six
inches of the rear portion of the pros
trate snake, the latter started off at
rapid pace, plunged into the water
and drowned the RATHER. The listen
ers thought it was a pity to call him a
common liar so the meeting adjourn

Hard Luck.

He had been drinking of the cup
that cheers and likewise inebriates,
and had large vessel of the Joy Juice
protruding out of his hip pocket. In
this condition he was unwise enough
to walk down to the B. & o. station
this morning. When the cab bies and
hotel porters saw him there was
howl of joy-for those men were
thirsty and here was relief. But the
gentleman with the jag and the Juice
refused to produce. Furthermore Se
said some things that were not plea
ant to hear. The gentlemen with t..
thirst surrounded him and began to
guy him. He repeated his charge.
Suddenly that vessel of firewater dis
appeared from the protecting pc y
of the proud possessor and was sen
no more. Some magician had caused
it to disappear. There was some talk
of a scrap but it didn't materialize
and the erstwhile owner of the sooth-
ing syrup got away OH the train. The
cabbies gave him farewell cheer and
heartily Invited him back.

OUR brethren of the local press
have to keep moving to keep up
with the Democratic band wagon
wherein the platform makers ride.
In 1896 before the Convention they
were for sound money. But when
the hymn sixteen to One' was
given out by their National Conven-
ton they sang Justify for silver.
When 1900 rolled around Bryan was
the real thing and gold Democrats
were objects of derision. In 1904
when the Convention kept silent on
the money question this was heralded
as very wise because that subject
was not an issue. When, however,
Parker sent his telegram declaring
for the gold standard, straightway
the faithful fell in line and they
would just as quickly get in line for
free silver in 1908. Anything to win.

THE ELECTORAL VOTE.

The electoral vote is worrying the
Democratic press exceedingly and, of
course, with reason. Blessings bright
en- as they fade from sight, and to
have the cup of Joy dashed from their
lips must be conceded to be disheart-
ening. Nevertheless, the grief of our
friends, the enemy, will be assuaged
in the knowledge and appreciation of
the fact that it is always that way
with them, and one more won't hurt
them very badly-at least not much
more badly than they have been in
the habit of getting hurt
The nomination of the venerable
millionaire and coal and oil and rail
way magnata, Davis, of West Nir-
ginia, was thought to be a mighty
slick bit of political work. But The
atlanta Constitution, stalwartly
Democratic, in most interesting arti-
Gle, let's the cat peep out in the telling
that David Bennett Hill looked upon
it as piece of foOlishness, remarking
that "Steve Elkins had made West
Virginia so everlastingly Republican
that nothing could change it," To
that accurate description of the stu
alton in the Mountain State is to be
added the surlY consent of Mr.. Bryan,
who was compelled to let the tail go
with the hide, taking gold bug Davis
with gold bug Parker, with the re-
mark that another gold bug wouldn't
make it any worse.
With West Virginia out of the Dem
ocratic column-and twas not in that
cOlumn-the hope of Solid South is
broken TO Democracy, and without
that Solid South not all their widest
hopes could bring success to them.
In fact, and slightly paraphrasing
James Whitcomb Riley, their hopes
have cast their anchor in the harbor
of dream With every Electoral
College south of Mason and Dixon's
line-including Delawarc-voting for
Parker and Days, they would be
sure only of 1872, with 239 necessary
for choice, "a deficit of 81.
To that deficit must be added
West Virginia. Z; Maryland, 8, and
Delaware, 3-for Of the three the st.
Louis ticket will not carry one and
that raises the Democratic deficit to
70. To make up that deficit the st.
Louis ticket would have to carry New
York, 30; New Jersey, 70; Indiana, -;
Connecticut,.7 Nevada, 3, and Utah,
3. Or they may change the aspect of
States of the far West and make up
the deficit by carrying Illinois-or
Massachusetts or Vermont. In fact,
they may make it up in any way they
please-on paper.
AS Senator Hill said of Elkins and
West Virginia itmay be said of Roose-
Welt and the whole country. 1t is so
thoroughly Republican in the Elec-
toral Colleges as to make it impossible
to change the result.

DAVIS MAKES DENIAL
No Truth in Report That He Will Wed
Mrs. Kate Reynolds.

No Truth in Report That He Will Wed
Mrs. Kate Reynolds.
q Bedford Springs, Pa, July 26.-
Charles B. Robb, secretary to ex-Sen-
ator Henry q. Davis, has, at the in
stance of Mr.. Davis, authorized the
emphatic denial of the story publish
ed in the morning papers to the effect
that he will be married in the fall to
Mrs. Kate Reynolds of Shepherds
town, w. Va. There is no truth what
eyer in the Story that they will be
married.
The story published in the morning
papers is as follows:
News comes from Shepherdstown,
w. Va, that ex-senator Henry q.
Davis, the Democratic vice presiden-
tial candidate, will in the fall marry
Mrs. Katherine Reynolds, widow of
DIR. John Reynolds, of Shepherdstown.
Mrs. Reynolds is 20 years old, while
Senator Davis is so.
Many years ago, when Henry q.
Davis was a brakeman on the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad, he became a
sutton for the hand of Miss Catherine
Chuswa, whose family was one of the
most prominent in Washington cOun-
ty, Md. Miss Cushwa was a pronoun-
ced beauty and was the acknowledge
ed belle in the section in which she
lived. Her family being an arist0-
cratic one she became the leader in
the exclusive social set.
The friendship thus begun speedily
ripened into love. Davis proposed,
and the young woman was willing,
but the parents could not reconcile
themselves to the idea of their daugh-
ter marrying a poor brakeman, and
the young man was sent on his way.
In the course of years young Davis
became the richest and most power
full citizen in his state, while Miss
Cushwa became the bride of DR..
John Reynolds, a physician, of Shep-
herdstown, her old or first flame
also in the course of time taking unto
himself a life partner in a distant
part of the state.
1t was not until many years after
wards that the two old lovers came
together again, one as a widOwer and
the other as a widow. The old spark
rekindled into flame, with the re-
suit that there will be notable we'd
ding at the quaint old town of Shep-
herdstown, some time during the
month of October, so the gossip says.
Mrs. Reynolds is the mother of two
grown up children and the grand
mother of half dozen interesting
boys and girls. She lives IN a beau
tiful old-fashioned house, within a
stones throw of the stately Potomac.

ALL FOR HARMONY,

The Republicans in Maryland are
now happy family. Harmony has
been restored at a most suspicious
time-as the beginning of a presiden-
tial campaign, proceeding an election
at which the vote of Maryland may
play a most important part in the
electoral college. The Republican
congressman to be chosed at the same
election may also be determining
factors in the next House of Repre-
sentatives.

ONE thing must be said in Judge
Parker's favor. He thinks so well of
the Republican gold standard policy
that he has recommended it to a party
he knows does not believe in it and is
not honest in claiming to do so.
