FROM THE wILDs OF TUCKER.

An old lady from Tue ker county
took her first railroad trip last week.
She noticed the bell cord overhead,
and, turning to a boy, she said:
"Sonny, what's that for 2" "That,
marug" he said, with a twinkle in
his eye" is 20 ring the bell when
you want something TO cat" Short
ly sftcrward the old lady reached
her umbrella up 20 the cord and
gave it a vigorous pull The whis-
tie sounded, the brakes were pulled
on, the train began 20 slacken its
speed, windows we're thrown up,
questions asked and confusion
reigned among the passengers. The
old lady sat calmly through il all,
little dreaming that she was the
cause Of the excitement Presently
the conductor came runn aims
through the train and asked: "Who
pulled the bell ?" 81 did," replied
the old lady, meckly ''What do
you want ?" asked the conductor
impaiiently. "WeH," " said the ole
lady, meditaiively, "you may bring

THE gLEINs COURT HOUSE.

ELKINs, w. Va, Jan. aI.-The
court house matter in this town is
still causting considerable dissension
among the contractors and the tax
payers. As yet the building is only
three -fourths finished. The con-
tractor, J. p. Conn, of Uniontown,
Pa, claims he has finished his con
tract, with the county still owing
him. The contract price was SIIo, q
900, but Conn wants $50, 900 more
to finish the building. This, with
the cost Of furnishing, would make
a total Of Sr75,ooo to be met by the
taxpayers. The contractor offered
to finish the building and take his
pay out Of the rent Of the building,
but this was refused by the court.
The voters recently Overwhelmingly
defeated a project to issue $50, 900
additional bonds.

YOUNG FOOLS THAT MARRY

A green boy without a dollar,
present or prospective, sparkling
a girl regular, and talking about
marrying is spectacle for god S
and men. He should be reasoned
with, and If he will not quit it until
he is able TO support wife and
so know who he loves and the diff
ference between love and passion,
he should be quarantined, or put
in convent erected on purpose for
such cases. Nine tenths OF the un
happy marriages are the result of
green human calves being allowed
to run at large in the society past
ure without any yokes on them.
They marry and have children be
fore they do mustache, they are
fathers Of twins before they are pro-
prietors OF pants and the little girls
they marry are old women before
they are twenty. Occasionally one
OF these gosling marriages turns out
well, but il is case of accident.
If there was a law against young
galoots sparkling and before they
have cut all their teeth, we suppose
little cusses would evade it in some
way, but there ought to be a senti-
ment against IT, 1t is time for these
hantams to think OF finding a pullet
when they have raised money
enough by their own work to buy
bundle of lathes TO build a coop
for her.
But they see cir who looks cum
ming and they are afraid there are
not going to be enough girls TO 90
around real spry, and before they
arc aware Of the sanctity Of the
marriage relation they are hitched
for life, aud before they own a
cook stove or bedstead they have
to get up in the night and 20 after
the doctor, so frightened that they
run themselves out CT breath. and
then abuse the doctor because he
does not run to, and when the doc
tor gets there he finds there is not
enough linen to wrap a doll baby
in. II is about this time that he
begins 10 realize that he has been
a colossal ass, as he flies around
to heat the water and bring the bath
tub, and goes whooping after his
mother or her mother, he turns pale
around the gills, his hair turns red
in a single night and he calls high
heaven to witness that If he liyss till
morning, which be seriously doabts,
he will turn over new leaf and
never get married again until he Is
older And the next morning the
young father is around before the
drug store Is open, with no collar
on, his hair sticking every way, his
eyes bloc dshot aud his face seri.

The Senate committee on judic.
iary sat down hard on a bill that
originated in the fertile brain of
State Tax Commissioner Dillon.
The bill sought to fasten on the
State the opprobrious tax inquisi.
torial system. II provides that in
every county in the State the Tax
Commissioner should appoint an
agent" the duty of this agent be-
ing to probe into peoples private
business affairs and see to it that
they returned all their property for
taxation purposes. 1t tprovided that
he should receive twenty per cent of
the forfeiture. The members Of the
committee were free to speak their
minds about what they thought of
its provisions, and also what they
thought of man who would pro-
pose such an iniquitous system.
Mr.. Dillon appeared before the com
mittee and argued in behalf of his
bill, but without avail. The com
mittee unanimously agreed to report
il to the Senate with the recommen-
dation that it do not pass, and that
was accordingly done.
1t is evident that it, the bill, re.
hected the views of the administra
ticn. Mr.. Dillon, it is safe to say,
did not prepare that bill without
first submitting it to his superiors
and receiving their approval.

A bill that has caused much ex
citement is the one relating to nota.
ries public. The bill has been re-
commended to pass. This bill was
reported to the House on Monday
morning with the recommendation
that it pass. This bill will affect
the terms of every notary public in
the State. By its terms all notaries'
commissions now in force or that
shall be issued between now and
December 81, 1906, shall expire at
midnight on that date. Beginning,
January /, 1907, notary's com
mission shall he for six years and
not for life as it has been heretofore.
Another feature of the bill is that
every applicant for the position of
notary public must have the recon-
mendation of the judge of the Cir
cult Court of the circuit in which
he resides, attesting that the appli-
cant possesses the requisite qualifi.
cations which fit him to properly
discharge the duties of the office,
and further that he is a person of
good moral character.

"The Immortal Eleven" as the
anti administration Senators are
now called, are going after Senator
Swisher with a stuffed club. The
first blow was struck when Mont
gomery, of Preston, introdu ced in
the Senate bill No. II. 1t provides
that withlo thirty days after passage
the auditor shall be the statutory
attorney for all foreign and non.
resident domestic corporations,
stipulates what compensation he
shall receive, and sets forth further
that all these fees shall 20 into the
State treasury. This is identically
the same bill that was before the
special session last summer and
which was defeated in the Senate
through the efforts of Swisher, then
nominee for Secretary of State.
