When train No. on the b. d O.
pulled into Cumberland, last Thnrs-
day, car Inspector made a CHASTITY
find, on truck of one of the Pullman
cars. 1t was a mans arm and hand,
with gold ring on one of the fingers.
The mystery was explained when it
was learned that the train had struck
a well dressed man at Bridgeville Ohio
and all parts of the body, except the
missing arm had been gathered up and
turned over to an undo rtaker.
George Herman, well known
weather prognosticator, made the pre-
diction that there will be no snow fall
this winter heavier that one inch. As
the basis for his belief he said: 1t is
rare that we have summer in this
climate that prodn ces two crops Of
vegetables. Such was the summer of
1905. Whenever it occurs it is followed
by mild winter. The summer of 1877
produced two crops of vegetables
and there was very little snow the next

All this may be true but we advise
our readers to keep their weather eye
on their overcoats and winter wraps.
A Deal Pending.
1t is said that deal is pending with

posed of Mr.. Moses Newton, wealthy
capitalist OF HoIyoke Mass, and Mr..
Willis c. Scheu. well known here. for
the purchase of 400 acres of land own
ed by Mr.. Rutherford, short distance
south of Martinsburg. The latter has
fixed his price. and the contamination
OF the deal depends upon the willing
ness of the proposed purchasers TO meet
his terms. The land is very rich in
limestone deposits and shale. II the
deal is concluded, operations will be
commenced, at once, by the said firm.

scape by creating Clarke. Perhaps not,
but little Clarke is a jewel OF the frs,

that he had Travelled through Virginia,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois to Missouri,
and returned by way OF Kentucky TO
Virginia. The most lovely country on
which the smile of God ever rested, he
said, was between Berryville and the
Shenandoah river, and we all say Amen.
In her sacred coil repose the ashes Of
my cherished dead. The memory Of the
days Of my boyhood and early manhood
are connected with scenes in Clarke that
l never can forget. My children were
reared there, and drank fresh and pure
their first draughts Of knowledge. They
are now far away from the old home
stead, but their memories are loyal TO
the days when friendships first cords
bound their hearts To scenes and friends
that can never be forgotten. Had the
pen OF poet with power to express q
poets thoughts, would rejoice to place
in undying verse the glowing beauties
suggested by the matchless landscapes
and beautiful skies that love to grace
and bend over this choicest jewel that
delights to flash on dear old Virginia's
breast; but all the dictionaries refuse to
furnish words to do the subject justice,

THE BEST INSURANCE.

William Boyd of the Curtis Pub
fishing Company addressed the
Manufacturers Advertising club
at the Hotel Euclid, says the Cleve-
land, co. Plain Dealer, on The
Preparations Necessary to a Sue
cessful Advertising Campaign.
Mr.. Boyd opened with the state
ment that unless a business organ
igation Is responsive TO changing
trade conditions it cannot be sue
cessful. He cited the growth of
advertising to show it one of the
new business conditions which
every concern must meet.
Trial advertisements are a waste
OF money. according TO Mr.. Boyd,
and he likened the trial advertiser
to the tradeSmen who sends out
travelling statesmen once and then
discharges them, expecting that
results from the single effort will
warrant engagement of other sales
men for like single trip.
Mr.. Boyd likened advertising to
a business insurance. fan adver-
Users place of business burns
down, even though he has no fire
insurance, he can at once rebuild
and continue to do a profitable
business because he has advertised
thereby creating a demand for his
goods.

that your ad should be in the right
paper as il is 10 have your insur-
arce in a GoOd company. Keep II

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Dramatic Climax 60 nm Exciting VIII
Contest Case.

Contest Case.
The conversation turned on the mo-
ment0us effects OF trifes at times
when they were least expected TO have
any influence at all, and this reminded
Mr.. Thompson OF an episode Ina his
own practice as n lawyer.
1T was the most exciting legal bat
tie OF my life." he said. and every one
present begged him 60 tell A.
"A tight was going ON for the pos
session OF large fortune" continued
he. while the others settled themselves
for the story. "A hayward son was
contesting the Will OF his father. and
the case abounded In dramatic fea-
lures. Charge and counter charge were
frequent. The young man was explo-
sive. hot tempered and without char
acter. How much his family had SUI
fered through him no one ever knew.
The young rascal had hoped to get his
fathers vast fortune. and now he saw
the case going against him and the
money slipping through his fingers.
The last link I'm the chain OF evidence
was all that was needed. and that
would be supplied by the testimony OF
his sister Her name was called, and
as she stood up-she was beautiful
creature-there arose buzz OF admira-
ton such as sometimes comes from an
audience. She fiustcred at that and
hesitated. then started for the witness
stand. ! got up as she was passing
me. intending 10 reassure her. and ac-
cidentally stepped on her gown. Gowns
had slight train I'm those days. My
awkwardness saved her life"
He paused for n moment 10 note the
effect Of his words. The admiration
OF those I'm the courtroom was the final
touch TO that worthless brother. He
sprang up and. drawing revolver
from his pocket. exclaimed. We'll, II
don't get the money you never will

him. My checking her by treading on
her gown made her step backward. and
