Emotionality in the Young Girl
Is TireSome Gush in the Woman.

When she is about II the girl with an
impulsive and emotional manner is apt
to be considered charming, girlish, I'M
affected and entirely lovable
Later on, these traits of emot;onality
develop into gushing expression and Il
sentimentality that always gives the inn
preston of insincerity and the emotion
al woman becomes something of Il trial
to her friends.
She feels too deeply, is too easily
moved and influenced; has whims and
moods and other trying ways that in an
actor or an artist are summed up as
Temperament"
The emotianal girl is born so and, of
course, she cannot change her nature,
but she should early begin to practice
sef-control, moderation of expression
and should acquire n quiet way of tax
ing life. Otherwise she will be surely
misunderstood and made very unhappy
through the violent reactions of feeling
which she will experience.
Are you an emotional girl! Ii YOU
find yourself verging to gush either men
tai or verbal; if you have frequent spats
with those you love; if you are over-sen-
sitive to the smallest bit of praise or
criticism, you must begin now to cor
rect yourself or you will suffer later
on.-BoSton Traveller.

1t Is Unfortunate

When Il women insists upon thrustins
her pets upon other people-for it IS
women who do this.
An irate man who had been forced to
hold baby and caress a dog says that
there are two classes Of women who
have no consideration for the feelings Of
mankind. One is the mother of a would
be precocious infant and the other the
owner Of Il small dog.
a fond mother should remember that
ali the world does not love Il baby, and
may not have a faint degree of interest
IL her bright darling's latest witticism,
and may not care to hold the baby to see
how heavy he is. Many people are
quite willing to take any ones word for
it
To most. people canine is even worse
than baby, even though the owner
could not imagine such a thing. With
the baby one can hope for future posi-
hhlties; with tue dog one cannot get past
present annoyance, and if the individual
does not wish to have the dog play with
he'' ieet or chew her skirt or bite her
fingers she may have some thoughts that
are not religious enough to help her

current reports of industry and
finance, from the mercantile adj
vertisements in the newspapers
and from all other sources are
roseate for our community. La
Dor is well employed and fairly
paid. The merchants are doing
brisk business and trade is con-
stantly enlarg ng. Well-dressed
and well-fed crowds on the
streets tell of prosperity for all
classes of industrious people.
There is no doubt that all the In
dications of the advancing spring
are that 1905 will be one of the
best business years in Sistersville.
A wear ago a backward spring
and the slow struggle to work
up from the slough of prostration
required a persistent optimism to
see the recovery that nevertheless
was sure to come. This year an
early spring not only stimulates
commercial transactions but typ
fies the hope and confidence in
the prosperity that is reasonably
certain to characterize the entire
year.

death-dealing demon known as
Group Whooping Cough, and but
for the timely use of Kennedy s
Laxative Honey and Tar, which
she always keeps handy, the life
of the little one might not have
been saved. Kenndey's Laxative
Honey and Tar is different from

and is best for children because
It acts on the bowels, is harmless
safe and. certain. Contains NO

CUT IN PRICE OF OIL.

The oil market was subjected
to another cut when the purchas-
ing agencies opened for business
last Wednesday morning. The re-
duction, however, will have little
effect on developments in the
Southwest oil fields, for the rea-
son it has reached the point where
there is little new work starting.
A cut of three. cents a barrel
was made in the price OF Penn
sylvania oil, with corresponding
reductions upon other grades, in
GLIDING the oils of Kansas and
the Territories. This cut follow
ew a shading of the refined oil
quotations at New Yorn, as id
the previous reductions that
have been such a constant feature
of the market for more than a
year.
1t is not difficult to perceive the
reasons for these changes adverse
to the producer of crude. First
is the foreign competition in the
export markets which has been
growing in intensity for nearly
two years. Second is the en-
trance of Texas into the general
markets, foreign and domestic.
Third is the tremendous increase
in the crude prouction Of the ter
ritories, which threatens to giut
the domestic markets not invaded
bv the Texas refiners. Not much
of the trouble can be fairly laid
at the door Of Kansas, though It's
law-making has not improved the
situation in any particular.
The real trouble is Over-produc-
ton of oil and the conviction
growing upon all classes of oil
men that there will be no early
diminution in the available SUPP
plv. The Kansas outbreak was a
mere incident, engendered by in
experienced operators and de
velopment of the cheap oil stocks
would never realize the fortunes
they had hoped for.
